Now You're Satisfied, Aren't You?

Medical Center.

emergency room.

A shot rang out.

"Holy shit!"

In a world that has slowed down, Adam's mind is particularly active.

"Here it comes, here it comes! I knew it! Happy America, gunfights every day! I've been here for over nine years, but I've only seen it a few times. I almost thought it was an exaggeration."

The target of the shooting was Alex.

Before firing, the gunman checked the shot several times.

It seems to be a personal grudge, not some crazy person who's gone mad from playing live-action CS.

A sense of relief rose in Adam's heart.

Because if it were really like the terrifying video he saw in his previous life, even he would be in mortal danger.

So what if he could predict the power of the Chicago Typewriter before he even fired?

You might dodge one bullet, but can you dodge a hail of bullets?

After the initial relief, the bullets continued to fly.

Adam couldn't help but wonder, "What kind of personal grudge could escalate to the point of shooting someone?"

He wasn't particularly surprised.

Given Alex's character—he insulted and killed patients—it was only a matter of time before he was shot.

But the internship has only lasted for a little over two months.

The two patients who were almost killed were both saved, one by Liz and the other by Adam.

With life still at stake, the likelihood of such a brutal retaliation is greatly reduced.

The girl with the giant tumor who was insulted and called disgusting, perverted, and deserving of death was so ashamed that she didn't even want to sue Alex. Her mother was also a kind-hearted person with no temper at all, so it was impossible for her to take such a fierce revenge on Alex.

However, it was Alex who worsened the condition of the old man who was insulted and said he should have died long ago.

He might have died of illness by now, but his family members are still alive. They heard some rumors and, in a fit of rage, committed a crime of passion.

That's quite possible.

"Wait, something's not right."

Thinking about this, Adam suddenly noticed that the bullet's trajectory was wrong. Normally, a bullet should be aimed at the chest because the firing area is wide and it is easy to hit the heart, which is also a fatal organ.

However, the bullet's trajectory was much lower, and Adam immediately realized that it was clearly aimed at Alex's fifth limb.

"Yes, he hooked up with a beautiful young woman last night."

At that moment, Adam understood everything.

The retaliatory nature of this is far too obvious.

Adam couldn't help but speed up the pulling of the bronchoscope outwards, and just as Alex screamed, he narrowly managed to suck the key out of the patient JP's mouth.

"Ah!"

Alex screamed as the force of the bullet sent him flying backward, crashing into the hospital room door before falling into the room.

"Shit!"

Adam cursed under his breath, grabbed JP and his terrified girlfriend, and ran towards a corner of the ward away from the door, using the metal cabinet of the bronchoscope monitor and other metal cabinets as shields in front of the three of them.

Although he judged it to be retaliation from the Greens, he still needed to be cautious.

Aren't there enough people who are bloodthirsty and blinded by rage?

As for risking his life to save Alex?

Sorry, the thought process took so long, but Adam didn't even have that thought cross his mind once.

Outside, a chaotic screaming erupted, echoing Alex's agonizing cries.

A tall man walked into Adam's field of vision.

"Alex, you've really met your match this time."

Adam could tell at a glance that this person was most likely a soldier.

Every move he made clearly showed his military discipline.

"Don't kill me."

Alex felt his life was threatened and temporarily suppressed the excruciating pain from the explosion of his fifth limb, pleading.

I won't kill you.

The tall man said coldly, "I only kill those who offend me. You haven't offended me."

Alex was not happy at all when he heard this.

What Adam could think of, how could the person involved not have thought of?

In fact, the man recognized his opponent the moment he fired the gun.

Last night, he was at the beautiful young woman's house, gazing at her in their wedding photo on the wall for a long time.

How proud he was back then.

At that moment, he was filled with immense fear.

Damn it!

She clearly said her husband was on duty overseas and wouldn't be back for a long time.

He figured he'd only have a few rounds and then it would be over. Judging from the beautiful young woman's appearance, he probably wasn't the only one he was hooking up with.

By the time her husband comes back, she'll probably have forgotten all about herself.

Otherwise, no matter how bold he is, there's no need for him to go to such lengths to offend a Marine.

He never expected that he would suffer retribution today after just getting involved last night.

The excruciating pain in his groin made him feel like he was dying from the agony and filled with regret.

The beautiful young woman's husband, expressionless, stretched out one foot and stepped on Alex's leg, then stretched out his other foot and pried open Alex's other leg, which was curled up in a ball, causing Alex to lie on the ground trembling in a spread-eagle position.

"An eye for an eye, a tooth for a tooth!"

The beautiful young woman's husband raised the gun, pointed it at Alex's reddened crotch, and sneered, "You had a good time last night, didn't you!"

Bang!

"What now?"

Bang!

"Isn't it even more enjoyable now?"

Bang!

Bang!

Bang!

The beautiful young woman's husband said one sentence to Alex's brother and fired one shot. After six shots, Alex had completely passed out.

Adam, who was observing from behind the metal cabinet, felt sorry for Alex.

"Ah!"

Just when Adam thought it was over, Alex screamed again.

Adam looked closely and saw the beautiful young woman's Marine husband, still furious, wearing heavy military boots, stomping hard on Alex's red-stained crotch, and then twisting and turning.

"Hiss."

Adam gasped.

That's too ruthless.

"Doctor, come and save him!"

The beautiful young woman's husband, sensing the destruction of his 'enemy,' spoke to Adam, who was hiding behind a metal cabinet.

After saying that, he left without waiting for Adam's response.

Adam, disregarding the absurd feeling of "police, come out and clean up the mess," rushed over to check Alex's injuries out of a doctor's duty.

Upon seeing this, I felt another wave of cold air.

That's terrible.

"Put down your gun!"

"Lie down on the ground!"

Outside, the shouts of hospital security personnel could be heard.

But no more gunshots were heard.

Adam picked up Alex, placed him on the gurney, and ran straight toward the Operating Room, calling out to the nurses along the way.

"Calling Dr. Green, Dr. Burke, Dr. Shepherd!"

Whoever has time can come over.

The nurses responded immediately.

Some went to look for people.

Some led the way.

Operating Room 3 is empty.

Adam pushed Alex into Operating Room 3.

Leonard and the others arrived while Alex's vital signs were being stabilized by emergency treatment.

With the Chief of Surgery absent, Dr. Burke temporarily took charge of the entire surgical department and took over the resuscitation efforts.

He really disliked Alex and repeatedly suggested that the hospital fire Alex.

But definitely not in this way.

At this moment, in the eyes of himself and everyone else, Alex was just a doctor colleague who had been shot.

We must do everything we can to save them.

We'll deal with the others after they're rescued.
