Operating on seriously injured people in a harsh environment like Atlantis was something Elaine had imagined before.
I have thought about it, but it is not easy to implement.
First of all, there must be a decent operating room. It must be isolated from outside bacteria, and then the operating room must be disinfected. Bacteria enter the patient's body from the surgical wound, and the resulting postoperative infection will be fatal, even if antibiotics are injected.
can be avoided.
Fortunately, Elaine had already thought about these problems. At this time, she just tried according to her early thoughts without panic.
Park the iron cavalry aside and let it use the highest power to deploy the barrier, which can isolate the bacteria from the outside to a certain extent - and even prevent the outside air from entering.
Next is disinfection. Elaine's first thought was to use ozone disinfection or negative ion disinfection. These things are said to be very common in the forest. They are usually converted by photoelectric reactions between the chemicals released by the plants in the forest and sunlight.
Whether it is ozone or negative ions, they have strong sterilization capabilities, which are enough to kill bacteria in the air and create a sterile space.
When it comes to the forest, what Elaine thinks of is [Sword of Mercy - Mysterdin]. Simply put, this sword is the same as the Druid tree species, and has a function similar to a portal, connecting the world.
There is a forest somewhere. Mysterdin can both absorb heat and impact (send it into that forest), and he can also take something out of that forest - tree species, trees, and things produced by certain plants.
Venom, etc.
Is it possible to extract ozone and negative ions from the woods?
The answer is, yes.
Elaine had done experiments before, praying to Misterdin to "create" ozone. As expected, he smelled the special fishy smell of ozone in the surrounding space.
Negative air ions have almost no smell and are a bit difficult to identify, but they have a characteristic that allows "aerosols" such as dust to settle quickly. In other words, Elaine only needs to grab a handful of flour and sprinkle it into the air to see that it looks like mist
You can tell whether there are negative ions in the air by checking whether the flour particles that have been suspended in the air for a long time will quickly settle under the action of negative ions.
As a result, this experiment was also successful. The flour particles that had been scattered in the air for a long time and could not settle would completely settle in just two seconds under the influence of negative ions. This proves that the concentration of negative ions generated by Mysterin is quite high - it is said that it
The word "generated" doesn't seem to be accurate. Misterdin just extracted these negative ions from a certain forest in the world.
In any case, the combination of ozone and negative ions is sufficient for sterilization before surgery. Elaine wore a breathing mask and eye protection, and also made the seriously injured Edmund wear the same configuration, and then placed him on a stretcher and stone.
On the operating table that was set up, Queeg naturally put on the same equipment and stood by waiting for orders.
Next to the operating table is the iron cavalry. The protective cover of the iron cavalry has been opened to the maximum to isolate the outside air. This space with a radius of about ten feet is filled with a large amount of negative ions and ozone in a short period of time for sterilization and disinfection.
Ozone can cause severe oxidative damage to the lungs and is actually a poisonous gas, so Elaine and others all wore breathing masks. They wore eye protection for a similar reason - to prevent the corneas from being damaged by the oxidative properties of ozone.
.Three minutes later, Elaine confirmed that the disinfection had been completed and started the operation immediately.
First, the bones are repaired, then the nerves are sutured, then the blood vessels and muscles are sutured, and finally the skin is sutured. After all of this is done, Queeg can cast a healing spell to heal Edmund's damaged body tissue.
Regeneration. In addition to Edmund's severed hand, there were many injuries on his body. The wound on his lower abdomen was also quite serious, and the peritoneum could almost be seen exposed.
The only good thing is that the cut surface of Edmund's severed hand is very smooth, as if it was split by a very thin and sharp blade. Elaine thinks that it should be created by the ice spells of the stalkers.
It was caused by an ultra-thin ice blade. Thanks to this smooth cutting surface, the nerves and blood vessels in Edmund's severed hand did not become a mess and should be able to be connected smoothly.
However, Elaine's current physical condition is very poor. It is a little difficult to concentrate. It is even difficult to move freely while holding the suture forceps. He is hesitating whether to use the body of this white lion boy to perform surgery. If he uses the human boy
He might be able to do a better job by using his telekinesis to perform the surgery. But doing so would be equivalent to him trading his own lifespan for the success rate of the surgery...
"King...Your Highness...I have something...I must tell you." Edmund opened his eyes slightly and woke up. Although he had been given general anesthesia, this guy stubbornly remained awake.
"You, please stop talking and conserve your strength." Elaine wondered. He had never tried performing a surgical operation on an awake patient before. This made him nervous.
"No... please listen to what I say..." Edmund said weakly: "I know your... secret, Your Highness."
"……ha?"
"Your Highness, you... are actually not a real orc." Blood Lion whispered, as if he only wanted to be heard by Elaine, and did not want to be heard by Queeg on the side: "You... are not a real orc. So...
…You actually don’t have the limitations that an orc should have.”
"You, what do you want to say?" Elaine couldn't help but feel dumbfounded.
"You...can use magic." Edmund concluded directly: "You can't use magic when you transform into a human. You should be able to use magic in...any form..."
"How, how is it possible?" The white lion boy was shocked: "And you, how did you know?"
But Edmund was becoming more and more confused: "Forgive me... Your Highness..."
After explaining all this, he fainted again.
"Wait, wait, Edmund, don't faint yet!" Elaine tried to wake up the blood lion to understand what he just said.
"Operation, operation!" Queeg patted Elaine's shoulder, telling the white lion boy not to delay the operation for such a thing. After all, Edmund was still bleeding, although a tie was applied to his arm to stop the bleeding.
The current situation is still not optimistic!
"Ouch!" Elaine had no choice but to give up the idea of understanding everything and focus on treating Edmund first.
But when he picked up the suture pliers with his hands, he knew the problem was serious.
His hands are shaking.
Even as he tried to regulate his breathing, his hands were still shaking.
He had obviously saved so many people before. When he was trapped in a different world nine hundred years later, he even spent almost ten years dissecting corpses and studying the structure of the human body. He had obviously studied it so thoroughly.
However, when he tried to operate on those most important to him, he was still swayed by his emotions and began to panic.
He was afraid. He was afraid of losing the important person again. Just like Leo died after the last operation on Leo. He was afraid that his mistake in the operation would kill the most important person.
So the hand couldn't stop shaking no matter what. He covered his right hand with his left hand and tried to stabilize it, but everything was of no avail.
"Oh, damn it...!"
"Forget it." Quigg said from the side: "Let me come and close the wound. At least, I can save my life."
When Queeg said to close the wound, he meant to use [spell - warm fire] to close the fracture in Edmund's arm.
This will indeed stop the bleeding, and at least allow Edmund to save a small life. But the cost is also huge. Edmund's severed hand may never have a chance to be reattached, and the Blood Lion will lose an arm forever.
.
"No, we can't!" Elaine stubbornly stopped him: "In short, we can't!"
He couldn't imagine how much impact Edmund would have on his life if he lost an arm forever. Maybe Edmund would be unable to help Elaine from now on, and they could only send Edmund, who was seriously injured with one arm, back to Great Britain for recuperation.
Elaine just doesn't want this to happen. In short, it can't be done!
In desperation, the white lion boy re-examined what Edmund said.
——So he can use magic? If so...can he also use telekinesis?
Using telekinesis instead of hands to operate surgical equipment is indeed a more efficient way to perform surgery that Elaine has discovered before.
Anyway, his hands are trembling so much now that it is absolutely impossible to operate. Instead of going on like this, it is better to be a dead horse and try to use telekinesis. Use the form of this white lion boy to activate telekinesis.
But, can he really do it? This is not his human form?
Fortunately, the feeling of using telekinesis in his human boy form was still there, and he still remembered how to manipulate telekinesis. He applied the same feeling to the current form of the white lion boy: he stretched out his hand, emitted filaments of photons, and attached
On the suture needle, inject magic into it to make it move——
The suture needle trembled slightly, and then really started to move on its own.
That's why Elaine truly believed at this time that he, in the form of a white lion boy, was indeed not an orc.
He just wears the skin of an orc, "something else".
Maybe his other orc forms are all the same, just superficial. What limits his ability to use magic is just his own idea, a concept, not those orc transformations.
What an irony.
He has gone around in such a big circle, but he only realizes this fact now. He is neither a human nor an orc. He is actually nothing, does not belong to any camp, and naturally has no so-called "destination" to speak of.
But now, let's focus on saving people.
The suture needle controlled by telekinesis danced rapidly, carrying extremely thin sutures, and began to join the nerves.
Edmund's severed arm bones are being connected with stainless steel bone screws used in bone repair surgery, and they will be completely connected soon.
Using telekinesis to control these small and light surgical instruments has an absolute advantage. Human hands will be clumsy no matter what, and no matter how thin the fingers are, they cannot be thinner than the filaments of photons. Not to mention that Elaine can use telekinesis to manipulate thoughts.
Move the required surgical equipment to the desired position with micro-inch accuracy. This is an operation that can go wrong if you shake your hands slightly, but it will not shake at all if you use the power of your mind.
Elaine slowed down his breathing, patiently tightened his nerves, and completed the connection of nerves and blood vessels. The subsequent suturing of muscle tissue and epidermal suturing was much easier than he thought. After dealing with Edmund
After cutting off his hand, Elaine sewed up the wounds on Edmund's lower abdomen, thighs, and neck. Then he used telekinesis to apply the medical gel directly to the wounds, without even the need to apply it with his hands.
"Take that, I'll leave it to you next." Elaine turned to look at Queeg. The leopard had already come over and began to use spells to heal Edmund's wounds. By activating wound cells to promote self-healing, the wound had been sutured.
The blood vessels and nerves will immediately fuse and regenerate, and they will soon become the same as if they had not been injured.
All in all, Edmund has been saved from death. However, the blood lion lost too much blood and still needs blood transfusion.
"Eh, what's Edmund's blood type?" Elaine was stunned for a moment.
"Don't worry, big brother." Bailey said outside the protective shield: "He can accept your blood."
Although Elaine does have type O blood and most people can accept Elaine's blood, but really...
Oh, right.
Elaine suddenly figured out what was going on. He had sucked Edmund's blood before and inherited Edmund's ability to transform into a monster.
There should be a level of blood lion transformation in his lion-man transformation... If he becomes that, his genes will be almost the same as Edmund, and his blood type will definitely be the same. Transfuse blood of the same blood type and origin into Edmund.
Demon, there will definitely be no rejection reaction.
But how to change into Edmund's lion-man form? Transform into a lion-man on the basis of the lion-man form? Is this possible? Or, he is already in that form now, and there is no need to change at all.
once?
After all, he can maintain this form to activate the Stalker's transformation and become a Stalker again.
Forget it. In short, it's right to believe in Bailey. So far, Bailey's predictions have not been wrong more than half of the time. That kid either has superhuman analytical skills or can see the future. In short, Bailey's words are close to 100% credible.
Elaine tied the blood transfusion tube into her arm, and then tied the other end of the tube into Edmund's right arm. The blood began to flow and was injected from his body into Edmund's body. This way
The risk of blood transfusion is very high, and no doctor would recommend its use. But Elaine currently has no better way, so she can only do this.
A few minutes later, the color on Edmund's face returned a little. His breathing also began to slow down. Elaine took this opportunity to inject antibiotics and nutrients into Edmund's body. Things that should be dealt with after the operation,
Basically everything has been dealt with.
For the time being, we can think that Edmund has passed the dangerous period...right?
There are still many things to deal with next.
"Qui, Quig," Elaine took off her mask, "You, you use the iron cavalry to send the miko to the [Leo]. Pay attention to safety."
"Okay." Queeg nodded. Apart from Elaine, the only one who can operate the iron cavalry at present is this cloud-patterned leopard.
"Please go save Xuri." The miko-sama also spoke up at this time: "He will be your collaborator. In order to complete the important task of destroying [Heart of Disaster], his cooperation is absolutely necessary. Please don't let him be like this."
sacrifice."
"I, I will think about it." Elaine replied, giving Queeg a look.
"Uncle Queeg, this is the key card." Bailey also handed the key to the battleship to Leopard: "Use this to enter the battleship smoothly."
"Okay. Be right back." Leopard jumped on the iron horse.
"Wait, wait." Elaine whispered a few more words into Queeg's ear.
"Understood." Leopard nodded, stepped on the accelerator of the cavalry, and flew away with the witch's crystal.
The next step is to settle Edmund and the others.
"Bai, Bailey, come and help me." Elaine tried to lift Edmund, but he found that the telekinesis was barely able to lift Edmond connected to the stretcher, and there was no way to push the stretcher further.
.
Although Elaine in the form of a white lion boy can indeed use some telekinesis, it is not as powerful as the telekinesis he uses in human form. You must know that Elaine in human form can directly lift the entire Ferris wheel with telekinesis.
He can control hundreds of heavy objects to hit the enemy. But now in his white lion form, he can barely lift an adult man...
Anyway, with the combined efforts of him and the little fox, they moved Edmund's stretcher to the second floor of another room thirty yards away.
"You, you can look after Uncle Edmund here, okay?" Elaine asked Edmund and Bailey to stay in a corner of the room.
He transformed into a stalker and created a wall of ice in the house.
He can already freely control the refraction phenomenon on the surface of ice like Edmund, making the texture of the ice wall surface look like an ordinary wall. He can use this ice wall to hide Bailey and Edmund in the "secret room" of the house.
"Inside, it is almost impossible to see the people hiding behind the wall from the outside.
In this way, even if the stalkers mobilized their troops to attack the surface city, they would still have to expend great efforts to find Bailey and Edmund Quigg who were hiding. After sending the witches to the battleship, they would return to help.
If the situation is really serious, Queeg can still escape with Bailey and the others.
The sun rises early in polar spring, and there are about two or three hours left before sunrise. Until then, it will be Elaine's victory: the stalkers have to retreat and stay in the first level of the underground maze.
Until night falls again. Elaine and his party will have a whole day to make a lot of preparations to meet the enemy.
"I can take good care of Uncle Edmund," Bailey looked at Elaine worriedly: "But what about you, big brother?"
"I'm going to save Xury." The white lion boy replied: "I, I don't know if he is our real companion. But, he saved Edmund, so I can consider him a companion for the time being. In that case
You have to save him."
"Indeed. Please save brother Zuoli." The little fox looked at Elaine intently: "But big brother can't force himself. You must always give priority to saving your own life. If you can't defeat him, retreat."
"Of course." Elaine touched Bailey's head, "Wait for me. I, I will come back with that stupid bird."
"Hehehe." The little fox smiled.
Elaine also sealed the ice wall, leaving only a few gaps for breathing. Then he turned around and left, heading towards the teleportation device in the camp.
