Chapter 182
Why.
This girl is so sick, yet she still wants to run around everywhere and is unwilling to rest and recuperate.
Broca, through that fleeting glimpse, had already confirmed that he possessed formidable abilities.
If FrostNova didn't have crystals, she might be paralyzed in bed, slowly recovering.
"Do as he says, that's what we should do."
The patriot's orders seemed highly improbable to the guerrillas, but they silently chose to carry them out anyway.
FrostNova's condition is different from that of ordinary infected individuals. What if letting an amateur examine her worsens her condition? Who will be responsible then?
Seeing his subordinates moving slowly, Broca a deep breath and spoke in an unquestionable tone:
"This is an order."
Only then did the guerrillas begin to move.
Even though he was reluctant, he carried the patient into the tent and sent someone to boil a pot of water.
Shi Lei, Mudrock, and Exusiai followed the others into a tent and gave the instructions:
"All of you, go outside and wait. Once the hot water arrives, leave it outside and call us to get it."
Broca and watch, but upon hearing this, he had no choice but to call the Snow Beast Squad to leave the camp.
In fact, Shi Lei's attitude towards helping infected people is just as Zen-like as when he plays the role of the Rex Lapis. His criteria for judging whether to provide assistance are very simple.
If the other person's life is in danger, save them if you can. If not, don't save them unless they actively request it.
The main problem is that there are simply too many infected people on Terra, making it impossible to treat them all. Furthermore, Shi Lei has not yet made any significant progress in addressing the challenge of infected organs.
This ability cannot be replicated by outsiders, which means it cannot be publicized widely to avoid attracting more trouble. Mudrock and Exusiai both know this, so there's no need to avoid suspicion.
Guerrilla forces, outside their camp.
Talulah stopped at the Passage Entrance leading out of the valley and did not continue down.
She and Chen heard the commotion coming from not far away, but neither of them went over to see what was going on.
Talulah didn't care what had happened, while the latter knew Shi Lei was there.
With him around, any problem can be solved.
Seeing that no one was around, Chen took a deep breath and asked the question that had been bothering her:
"Is your reluctance to return to Lungmen with me due to Wei Yenwu?"
During the Lungmen Incident of 1077, Wei Yenwu killed Talulah's biological father, Edward. Later, Duke Koschei appeared, hoping to take the two sisters away.
Chen was still young at the time, and she ran away on the way there out of fear. Duke Koschei waited until Talulah arrived alone, and then took her back to Ursus to raise her.
Over the years, Talulah gradually learned the truth about what happened. It turned out that the real culprit who led Wei Yenwu to kill his father was actually his adoptive father, Duke Koschei.
"..."
Seeing Talulah remain silent, Chen knew this meant she agreed, and lowered her head guiltily.
"Oh, it's all my fault. If I hadn't run away back then, you wouldn't have had to suffer all this alone."
Talulah her head to look at her half-sister, who was considered simple-minded, and smiled, a rare occurrence for her:
"Ha, it's always better to bear it alone than to face it together. I actually think it would have been a better choice for you to run away back then. Under that old man Koschei's long-term brainwashing, not many people can stick to their own principles."
A man who wants to train you to be an executioner, a noble officer, a schemer, and a sorcerer skilled in creating massacres is a complete pervert! But he has the audacity to say that this will make you a better person.
Chen, do you know? That old guy was lying the whole time, saying that Wei Yenwu was the mastermind behind my father's death. But he didn't mention that he had been expelled from the Lungmen for doing some really bad things. Nor did he say what role he played in my father's death.
Even though Wei Yenwu murdered my father and deserves to die, he, Koschei, is equally culpable.
"So you killed him three years ago?"
"That's right. Even if I don't blame his hypocritical methods and twisted tactics, his deceptive claims and feigned benevolence are truly disgusting. After biding my time, I personally took his life."
Chen, you just mentioned Wei Yenwu. Regardless of his reasons for that incident, the fact remains that he murdered my father. I will never forgive him for that.
Chen sighed, knowing that Talulah would never return to Lungmen.
She considered persuading the other person to let go of their hatred, but ultimately swallowed the words back.
"I thought this encounter would be a wonderful beginning. But it turned out to be just wishful thinking on my part. If you don't want to go back to Lungmen, then don't. So what are your plans for the future?"
Seeing that the two had reached a consensus, Talulah's expression relaxed slightly. After thinking for a moment, she spoke:
"My experiences over the years have made me realize the cruelty of reality. All the places on this land that claim to accept infected people are just illusions."
I might lead the Rhodes Island to create a city for the infected. Only in this way can we eliminate the barriers of discrimination. If the locals won't allow it, then this Ursus should be changed.
If an infected person wants to regain their dignity, they need strength, unity, and a change in the status quo.
To build a home for those infected, I will use my own hands to help them achieve their dreams.
Upon hearing this blueprint, Chen involuntarily conjured up images of the Lungmen Lower City in her mind:
"This sounds like a very difficult road."
"I know, of course I know."
At this point, Talulah her head and gazed into the distance. That was the direction of the Rhodes Island Camp:
"But if I don't walk this path, who will? Someone has to burn themselves to light up the surroundings and show the way to those who are lost."
At the same time, inside the guerrilla camp.
"The hot water is here!"
Hearing the shouts outside, Shi Lei gave the following instructions:
"Mudrock, go out and answer it."
"OK."
She lifted the curtain and went out, quickly returning to the tent with a wooden bucket full of hot water, and asked:
"Sir, where should I put it?"
"Put it next to her, and get two more towels. I'll see if she needs them on her forehead later."
After saying that, Shi Lei sat down by FrostNova's bedside.
He was like an old Chinese medicine doctor in a clinic, extending his index and middle fingers together and placing them on the pulse of the patient's right hand.
FrostNova's hands are cold, just like her name.
Her body temperature was below 35 degrees Celsius, causing many of her organs to malfunction. But strangely, FrostNova did not die as a result.
To put it simply, it's like a person standing on the summit of Mount Everest wearing only a single layer of clothing.
In such an extremely cold environment, the brain senses a survival crisis. It will then reduce the function of other organs to maintain the blood supply to the core organs.
A normal person wouldn't last long in such an emergency. The fact that FrostNova was able to survive was partly due to the infection in her organs.
If Shi Lei removes the Originium from her body and then leaves, the patient's health will only worsen due to the cold weather here.
In other words, if we want to cure hypothermia, we need to take FrostNova away from Ursus, where it is always winter.

245 The Divine Doctor Mr. Shi (3K)
Before his transmigration, Shi Lei had no professional medical knowledge and was a complete novice in the field. He would search for answers online for minor ailments like headaches and fevers. Only if the problem persisted or his symptoms worsened would he go to the hospital.
Now that I've come to Terra, studying medicine is just...
In just a few short months, relying solely on human meridian diagrams and an understanding of disease pathology, one cannot even obtain a medical license.
Fortunately, the medical books he had read described hypothermia as a symptom, which was not too difficult to treat.
The amount of Originium Particles in one's body is only one factor. The environment one is in is equally important.
If the patient wants to recuperate, it's best to avoid staying in Ursus the temperature is low. As for which specific country to visit, that's not Shi Lei's concern.
He placed two fingers on FrostNova's pulse, closed his eyes, and performed a micro-operation without a scalpel.
With Lisa's successful example, Shi Lei is now much more adept at stripping Originium. He knows when to be fast and when to be slow.
There's really nothing we can do about the infected organs.
This has no direct connection to Shi Lei's medical skills or level of strength.
The reason is simply that the patient has been infected with Originium-related illness for too long, causing originally healthy organs to fuse with Originium and become infected organs. Forcibly removing the Originium would result in organ loss or damage.
In mild cases, it can cause severe bleeding; in severe cases, it can render the medication ineffective.
When a person's internal organs stop functioning, it means that death is not far away.
Shi Lei has a guess about this.
He can perform organ transplant surgery on patients after removing the Originium that can be peeled off.
However, there are no books or instructional videos on this subject available on the market; one can only learn the most basic and rudimentary theories through popular science articles and textbooks. Shi Lei currently does not possess the ability to perform organ transplant surgery independently.
These things can't be rushed; take it slow.
Broca everyone to retreat first, but only the hybrid Wendigo and the Shield Guard, along with other heavily armored warriors, left.
The remaining guerrilla members and Snow Beast Squad members remained at the scene and refused to leave.
They paced back and forth in the snow, extremely anxious. Every now and then, they would glance at the tent flap as if they were staring at the exit of an emergency operating room.
Chen chatted with Talulah for more than ten minutes before turning back with a sigh.
Seeing a large crowd gathered outside the tent, Talulah walked over to Petrova and asked in confusion:
What are you all doing here?
"Hmph, it's all because of you!"
Petrova glared at her and began to complain:
"The captain unleashed too many Originium Arts, causing Originium-related illness outbreak. There's a masked man inside helping to treat him."
Talulah was puzzled by what she heard.
She had come with the little girl to visit the Patriot, intending to forge an alliance. However, upon seeing the nobleman's attire, FrostNova launched an attack without asking any questions.
Can this debt still be attributed to myself?
But this is, after all, someone else's stronghold, so she might as well accept the loss. If winning the argument only leads to the failure of the alliance, she'd rather swallow this bitter pill in silence.
Talulah glanced at Patriot not far away, sensing that he was probably not in a good mood. The alliance would likely have to wait for another more suitable time.
She withdrew her gaze, glancing at the tent that the guerrillas were focused on. Talulah was filled with curiosity about the powerful individual who had overwhelmed her.
"Chen, who is that man?"
Chen graduated from police academy, so she has a sense of confidentiality and won't blurt things out carelessly.
"I'm sorry, I can't say. He's wearing a mask because he doesn't want to reveal his identity."
"Okay... So, how good is his medical skill?"
Chen tried hard to recall, but had no recollection:
"I'm not too sure about that. But since he offered to treat me, he must have the ability."
Talulah turned her gaze back to the tent, the thick curtains blocking her view. Her eyes held no tell whether it was envy or some other complex emotion.
"You really trust him that much?"
Chen looked at her sister in response to the sound, but her mind was filled with memories of her experiences after meeting Shi Lei.
From operating covertly in Slums to helping solve criminal cases. From providing protection during extermination operations to facilitating the redevelopment of the Lower City and the relocation of the Lungmen Guard Department branch.
