With the cover of the morning fog in the seaside city, Elaine and Quigg walked around the city, only choosing various dark alleys and remote corners along the way. They took many detours before arriving at the previous private clinic. And they still used the back door.
Enter.
"Coming so soon?" Dr. Bordeaux had already closed the clinic, as if he had been waiting for Elaine's arrival. Of course, Elaine paid the doctor, and that money was enough for a private clinic like this to stay closed for several days.
The business is done, so the other party is happy to keep the clinic closed and wait.
"Is this the child?" The doctor glanced at the red wolf boy held by Queeg. At that time, Io was already dying, and even his breathing became very weak.
"Is there any way to give him a blood transfusion?" Elaine asked: "After the blood transfusion, I will do the surgery."
"This child...could he be a slave? Orc slaves transformed into soldiers...people of the Red Thorn Knights?" Dr. Bordeaux seemed to know something about the French army: "Will you get yourself into any trouble?"
Bar?"
"It's okay, don't worry." Elaine said, asking Queeg to carry the person into the clinic: "Give him a full body, disinfect his whole body, shave his hair, and prepare for surgery."
"Ah ah ah, I don't care anymore..." Dr. Bordeaux covered his head: "You have never been here, I don't know you, and no werewolves have ever been sent here for surgery——"
"I'm causing trouble for you." Elaine said, taking out ten more gold coins and stuffing them into the doctor's hand: "We will completely eliminate the traces later and no one will know about this."
"What about a blood transfusion? Do you know his blood type?" The doctor took the gold coin and asked unhappily.
"I, I have type O blood, I will give him a blood transfusion." Elaine said. Orcs should be able to transfuse blood to fellow orcs. In fact, human blood can also be transfused to orcs, as long as a little anti-rejection medicine is added.
"No, don't you want to operate on him next? You have just finished the blood transfusion and you are operating on the patient in an anemic state?"
"I can hold on, I can hold on." The white lion boy replied: "Orcs are tougher than humans, no, it's okay."
"No, I don't allow it." The doctor took out a pack of transparent and light yellow liquid from the refrigerator: "Hydroxyethyl starch, a blood substitute. Use this to transfuse him with 300 ml of blood, and then you can transfuse him with blood."
It should reduce your burden."
Elaine did not refuse, because the proposal was indeed reasonable. Of course, blood substitutes could not completely replace the effects of real blood, and could only be used in small amounts to make up for the lack of plasma supply.
"We will handle it here. You go to the operating room and get ready." Dr. Bordeaux and Queeg worked together and were placed on the examination table by the werewolf boy. They used disinfectant to disinfect the wounds on the child's body and began to shave.
"So." Elaine also walked from the opened secret door to the underground operating room, preparing to operate on Io. He reached into his storage pocket and planned to take out the box full of surgical instruments stored in the pocket. However, just now
His scalp felt numb when he touched it.
Gone!
The box filled with his surgical equipment was stolen at some point!
The box was still there not long ago, and it was still there when he arrived at the hotel from the clinic. After that, he just took a bath, and when he returned to the hotel room, he met the red wolf boy who came to ask for help. During this period, almost
There's no chance of losing your luggage, except—
Except for that dead kid who jumped into the bathtub and played rough tricks on him while he was taking a bath!
Elaine was furious, and finally realized that she had been deceived. The child didn't just jump into the bathtub to avoid being chased by the bad guys. He jumped in deliberately to steal something from Elaine! That kid with a ferocious face
The middle-aged man was probably in cahoots with the dead kid. He was not chasing the kid at all, they were just acting together!
Elaine rummaged through the storage pockets on her tactical belt. All weapons and money were not lost, but the box was missing. That box contained the most sophisticated surgical equipment in the world.
Constantine gave it to Elaine before leaving, and it existed like a talisman! But just when Elaine needed those surgical equipment the most, the entire box was stolen by a thief!
"But, damn it...!" The white lion boy clenched his fists. He regretted that he actually sympathized with the dead child. When he was worried about the fate of the child, the guy must have been diving into the water, snickering and laughing.
Steal something from the storage pocket of Elaine's tactical belt!
And that damn kid didn't steal anything, but he stole the most important surgical equipment... What should I do next? Can this clinic get suitable equipment?
"We are ready." Dr. Bordeaux and Queeg had already sent the red wolf boy over: "The operation can start at any time."
"Do you have any surgical equipment?" Elaine asked urgently: "My luggage was stolen, stolen, and the box of surgical equipment is gone."
"What? Seriously?!" The doctor's eyes widened: "That set of [Hand of God] scalpels is the most sophisticated scalpel you can get in the world, costing hundreds of thousands! You can actually do it
Lost it?!"
"Is this so expensive..."
"You actually don't know?!"
"My brother... no, my friend gave it to me..." Elaine wondered: "If you lose it, just throw it away. Now is not the time to care about that. Do you have replacement surgical tools?"
"Yes, yes, but -" the doctor said with a confused look on his face: "My operating room has never operated on a living person. It is used to dissect and dissect the corpses... so there are only cutting tools and no suturing tools."
Naturally, there are no life-support equipment."
"You, why didn't you tell me earlier?!" Elaine said anxiously. It would be too bad if he didn't have suture tools. He couldn't just cut Io's body open and not suture the incision after the operation, right?
!
"You brought a full set of surgical tools with you at that time. I thought you didn't need to borrow them from me!" Bordeaux also asked anxiously: "Are you going to borrow them from a big hospital now? ... Is it too late?"
It's not a question of whether it's too late or not. Elaine was puzzled. If he borrowed surgical tools from other places, wouldn't it reveal who he was operating on?!
"Sewing kit?" Queeg suddenly took out a small box. There were several steel needles for mending clothes and a bundle of cotton thread.
"You must be kidding me..."
"No. Say no, maybe it will work." Elaine said, "Bend it, it's a homemade suture needle. Cotton thread...it's not even after disinfection, no problem, barely usable. There is no suture forceps...there is
Tweezers, tweezers?"
"I have tweezers in my office," Dr. Bordeaux said, "but do you really plan to use such a crude instrument for surgery?!"
"No, there is no way." Elaine took a deep breath: "Let's do it."
Twenty minutes later.
"Amazing, really amazing, Dr. Elaine." Bordeaux was full of praise for Elaine: "I never thought that such a perfect operation could be performed with such crude surgical equipment! Such a blunt operation could be used
The knife made such precise cuts! The rough suturing tools were used to sew so neatly, even the blood vessels and nerves—"
"No suturing, suturing the nerves..." Elaine corrected. It is impossible to suture the nerves successfully with such a thick cotton thread. The surgical equipment itself does not allow it. Moreover, the incision was made on Io's chest, and there are almost no important nerves near that location.
Wire.
"Oh, yes, I haven't sutured the nerves. But it's already very powerful." The other party corrected: "How much talent do you need to be able to do this?"
"The result of a lot of practice..." Elaine whispered: "About... ten, ten years, endless dissections in the morgue..."
"You really know how to joke, hahaha." The other party laughed, not believing Elaine's words.
Elaine did not argue anymore, but just looked at the bomb lying quietly on the surgical tray. He did not explain to Dr. Bordeaux what it was, and he also removed the fuse of the thing and exploded it.
The bomb could no longer explode. But he could still feel the tension in the other person's eyes. Bordeaux must have known something, and probably knew that it was a bomb. That thing was vicious, small in size, and powerful.
It wasn't big, but because it was buried between the ribs on the werewolf boy's chest, it could explode just enough to break Io's heart. And Io was right, the bomb did have a very crude tracking device and positioning device attached to it.
As long as the device is a certain distance away from a specific landmark, the bomb will detonate twenty-four hours later, killing the person to whom the bomb was installed.
With something like this installed in your body, you have to serve the person who installed it, no matter how unwilling you are, until you "die loyally".
Moreover, the surgical conditions when installing the bomb seemed to be simpler than those in Elaine's place. The chests of the slave boys were cut open casually, then the bomb was stuffed in, and then sutured up casually. I'm afraid.
There were not even formal surgical disinfection procedures. The dark area near the bomb was the tissue that had become necrotic due to previous wound infection. Fortunately, Io and the others were orcs with extremely strong vitality, so the postoperative infection could not kill them.
If an ordinary human had undergone this kind of surgery, he would probably have died a long time ago.
The people who buried the bomb in Io's chest didn't take human life seriously at all. In other words, they didn't treat the slaves as human beings or the orcs as human beings at all. Even if they were just such werewolf children, they still treat them as human beings.
Tools are used to transform them, used as tools, and discarded after use.
...I really get angrier the more I think about it.
What exactly is happening in this country? Is the French regime also filled with invisible darkness and distortion?
"Hmm... um wu..." The red werewolf boy has woken up. Although the amount of anesthesia and intoxicating drugs was very small, this guy's ability to resist drugs is also very amazing.
"How do you feel?" Elaine asked: "The bomb has been removed for you. You are free."
"I...uh..." He wanted to get up, but couldn't move.
"Lie down honestly. You have just had an operation. If you move around, the wound will open." Elaine said, "I have already told the doctor here that it has been agreed. You will live here and stay in the hospital for a few days to rest."
Well. When you get better, take a boat to Cairo, Egypt, and find a man named Captain Bedivere. He is a werewolf like you. Tell him that it is Elaine Jean.
If you come to him, he will take care of you."
"I...but..."
"No, no need [but], you help us keep the secret, and I will save you, let's do it together." The white lion boy said coldly: "You ask for help, and I will save you. That's it."
But I can't save all your friends. Saving you is the limit. Forget about others. Cherish the freedom that only belongs to you and enjoy life."
The red werewolf boy stopped talking and lay there crying quietly.
"Then Doctor Bordeaux, please, please." Elaine turned to the doctor and said.
"No problem. Since I have accepted your money, I will take responsibility and take care of this child. There is a hidden ward next to the underground operating room. It can be done by hiding him for a few days."
"Then please, please." Elaine turned to Quigg and said: "Go back, go back."
"Oh," Leopard replied, looking thoughtfully at Elaine's right ankle. There seemed to be a faint black air there... and strangely, Elaine wrapped her right ankle with a piece of red cloth.
Ankle. This piece of cloth looked familiar, but Queeg couldn't figure out where it came from. And he couldn't figure out why Elaine's ankle was wrapped with cloth like a bandage even though her foot was not injured.
That all happened when the operation was about to be completed. At that time, Elaine's face clearly showed an expression of pain for a moment.
