168: Chapter 168: I have known a bit of medical skills since I was young 168: Chapter 168: I have known a bit of medical skills since I was young The moment Li Mumu saw the approaching figure, she almost thought she had accidentally tumbled into some Outer Dimension again.
She instinctively turned to glance at the cafeteria window where the auntie was serving food, and the auntie was still there.
That gave me a scare.
The newcomer was dressed in the exact same outfit as she was wearing now, head and face also thoroughly covered—this style was actually not uncommon in the Special Service Bureau, according to the information Li Mumu gathered from her casual chats with Sister Gu.
It was the standard issue for the Brocade-Clothed Guard of the Former Dynasty.
Although it was a different era now, there were still many subsidiary departments and organizational structures interfacing with the Special Service Bureau that used this kind of outfit.
It was cheap, cost-effective, and very practical, much like the camouflage military coats of future generations.
It was not rare to see people dressed in this manner, but someone bringing you a Coke exactly when you were craving one wasn’t quite as common.
Bro, who are you exactly?
It seemed the other party had noticed Li Mumu’s apprehension, and without much talk, just sat down, grabbed a Coke—the visitor had actually brought two bottles, snatched the chopsticks from Li Mumu’s hand, popped the metal cap off with a snap, removed the face mask, and downed the drink in big gulps.
That feels so good…
Li Mumu secretly swallowed her saliva.
After the other party had removed the face mask, she could see that the person was likely also a woman.
If she has already guzzled half a bottle in front of you and you still hesitate to drink, wouldn’t that be a bit timid?
Li Mumu tried to convince herself in her mind.
Don’t you see who you are?
Do you really think someone would bother to specifically buy you a Coke to set you up?
Perhaps this was another senior sister, simply inconvenient to recognize each other in this public setting.
Li Mumu, oh Li Mumu, don’t let this bizarre encounter give you a persecution complex.
There are still more good people in this world!
With that thought, she bravely picked up the Coke and took a big gulp.
The icy fizz exploded instantly in her throat, and a strong sense of happiness surged within her.
At that moment, Li Mumu suddenly felt that even if the other party had indeed poisoned the icy cola, she was okay with it.
To drown in the joyful water of fat houses was, from a certain perspective, also a kind of happiness.
Imagine, suppose you were eighty years old, without children, your mind not working well, unable to keep up with internet trends, unable to see clearly, and unable to move.
You faint by the roadside while throwing out the trash, and when you open your eyes, the doctor tells you that you can’t even drink Coke anymore.
How tragic that would be…
Holding her mouth, Li Mumu burped, and when she came to her senses, the figure had already turned and left.
Having finished what they came for, hiding their abilities and virtues, truly a hero of the age!
Such a hero, I must get to know!
Li Mumu swiftly finished the rest of the Coke in the bottle, wiped her mouth, and chased after the departing figure.
What about “obediently go back to sleep”?
If I were really that obedient, wouldn’t others think I’m too cunning?
A truly innocent little girl would of course be lured away by a bottle of icy cola!
At the least, I should ask for her name, as basic courtesy dictates.
Li Mumu continued to persuade herself.
However, in just the few seconds it took to drink that half bottle of Coke, by the time she caught up, the person had already turned the corner and disappeared.
The previously quiet corridor suddenly became noisy.
Through the window, Li Mumu saw a group of doctors in white coats hurriedly passing by outside.
A flash of silver light, and people appeared on the square in front of the window.
Mostly wounded, even through the window, Li Mumu could smell the thick scent of gunpowder.
Where had the fighting broken out?
She knew nothing and could only look on, wanting to help but not knowing where to start.
The doctors and nurses, experienced and skilled, quickly administered emergency treatment to the injured, then carried them on stretchers into the adjacent building, which must have been the Special Service Bureau’s internal hospital.
There were more injured than expected; every few minutes, a group of people would appear out of nowhere, accompanied by a cacophony of crying and screaming.
Li Mumu was watching the commotion when she suddenly caught a glimpse of a familiar figure from the corner of her eye.
Sister Coke…
no, the sister who had offered me a coke!
She had finally found her!
Seeing her walk toward the hospital building alone, Li Mumu quickly followed her.
The square was very chaotic, and there were many others in armor identical to hers; Li Mumu moved through the gaps unseen.
Suddenly, a hand reached out and grabbed her shoulder, “Which unit are you from?
Are you injured?”
Ah?
Me?
Before Li Mumu could react, she was abruptly pulled aside by the doctor, “Not injured?
Then come help carry the stretcher!
Don’t just stand there dumb as a post.”
You’re the one standing there dumb!
She wanted to refuse, but seeing the stretcher’s occupant so mangled and unrecognizable, she couldn’t bring herself to voice her refusal.
Carrying the stretcher, she followed the doctor into the emergency room, where the doctor handed her a pair of scissors, “Cut off the patient’s clothes and clean the blood.
Can you do that?”
“Yes…
I can!”
Pushed into a corner, Li Mumu could only nod despite her misgivings.
The doctor, preparing medication beside her, glanced at her actions and asked, “Have you learned first aid?”
“A little.”
“Can you give an injection?”
“I think…
yes?”
“Okay, you give him the IV, just these few bottles of medicine.”
Li Mumu, holding tweezers and an alcohol swab, stared dumbfounded as the doctor and nurse laid down the patient, kicked open the door, and rushed out again.
Brother, all my training was in games, I’m not a professional, how can you trust me like this?
Of course, it wasn’t about whether or not he trusted her, but looking out the window, another group of people had been transported here.
Don’t even ask about doctors; at this time, anyone with even a slight knowledge of health care was pulled to the front lines.
This was war.
The thought suddenly flashed through Li Mumu’s mind.
“Whether it works or not…
let’s just make do.
As the saying goes, ‘Every debt has its debtor, every wrong its perpetrator.’ If my clumsy hands do you in, don’t come looking for me, go find that doctor instead.”
Li Mumu muttered to the motionless patient on the bed, then gritted her teeth and continued debriding.
[You gradually recall some knowledge about emergency nursing care, not much, but enough.]
First debride, then suture, and administer both antibacterial and analgesic medication.
Skills play a small part; the rest is up to the body, and ninety percent is hoping for divine favor.
Once she became immersed in the task, she had no idea how much time had passed.
The constant influx of the injured meant the doctors, realizing that Li Mumu could not only administer injections but also suture proficiently, had no plans to let her go.
