Strange Cards

Chapter 126 Surgery

Shiyu did not choose to drive the rabbit back as before, but walked back to the hunter base.

"This is terrible!"

After entering the room, Shi Yu turned and walked towards Liu An's infirmary. Upon entering, she saw Qi Wu lying on the bed with bandages wrapped around his neck.

Gu Yue and Qi Nannan were taking care of her when Gu Yue saw Shi Yu come in and said softly.

"Ah Liu is in the kitchen; she's gone to cook porridge."

Shi Yu glanced at the injured Qi Wu and scratched his head sheepishly.

"I'm sorry, sister-in-law."

"Not only did I disturb your trip today, but I also caused the boss to get such a serious injury."

Gu Yue stood up and gently patted Shi Yu's shoulder.

"It's okay, I understand."

"Hunters always get injured; it's a miracle if you don't die."

Qi Wu looked at Shi Yu and suddenly sat up.

"Are you alright, kid?"

"It's just that I used up a lot of energy, I'll be fine after eating something."

"Those five bastards still got away; we almost managed to capture them all."

"It's good that you're alright. Just think about how badly you beat those five. They probably won't be able to cause trouble for at least half a year."

"I'm glad you're alright."

Shi Yu nodded and went out. When she got to the kitchen, she saw that Liu An had finished cooking the porridge.

"Having a bowl of that must be quite taxing, right?"

Liu An handed a bowl of meat porridge to Shi Yu. Shi Yu looked at the bowl of porridge that she used to love, but for some reason suddenly lost her appetite.

Liu An noticed that Shi Yu hadn't moved and couldn't help but feel a little strange.

"What's wrong? Not to your liking?"

"No, this porridge is too hot. Let it cool down a bit before you drink it."

Upon hearing this, Liu An nodded, took out a thermos, filled it with porridge, and then took out three porcelain bowls before sending them to the infirmary.

After arriving at the infirmary, Liu An placed the porridge and bowl on the cabinet next to him and then prepared some medicine for Qi Wu.

"Sister-in-law, make sure the eldest brother drinks these medicines half an hour after he finishes his porridge."

"Although my strange doctor can cure diseases, it's best to let the body heal itself. After all, too much intervention will only make the wound worse."

"Understood."

After taking the medicine, Gu Yue poured a bowl of porridge for Qi Wu, and then poured a bowl of porridge for herself and Qi Nannan before starting to drink it.

Qi Wu wasn't afraid of the heat and quickly finished the porridge.

After finishing his porridge, Liu An wiped his mouth and adjusted the hospital bed to a position where he could lie on his back.

"Liu An, go check on that kid Shi Yu."

"I sensed something was off when that kid came in; he looked really unwell."

Liu An looked up at the clock and then said.

"I know, that's why I'm checking the time."

"His bowl of porridge would have cooled down in ten minutes at most, and given how fast Shiyu eats, it should be gone by now."

"If that bowl of porridge isn't eaten, that would be the worst outcome. We might have to operate on the kid tonight."

"That bad?"

Qi Wuteng sat up abruptly, while Liu An simply nodded.

"I gave the kid emergency medication, but the side effects were just as severe."

"The most obvious sign is that he doesn't want to eat. Hopefully, he'll eat something."

As she spoke, Liu An walked back to the kitchen, and upon seeing the bowl of porridge that hadn't been touched much, she already knew what had happened.

Liu An sat down next to Shi Yu and extended his hand.

"Give me back my medicine. You're having surgery tomorrow."

Upon hearing that the medicine should be returned to Liu An, Shi Yu suddenly began to stammer. Liu An, seeing Shi Yu's expression, already knew what had happened.

"I knew you took your medicine. You probably only took one packet."

"Give me back the remaining packet. Don't eat anything for the next 24 hours after you finish this bowl of porridge."

"Your surgery is tomorrow at 1 p.m., and it's exactly noon now."

"Don't go on the night patrol either, just stay here obediently."

Shi Yu smiled awkwardly and returned the remaining packet of medicine to Liu An.

After receiving the medicine, Liu An extended his slender fingers and tapped Shi Yu's head.

"Luckily you didn't eat two packets, so you're not too stupid."

"You'll stay with Guan Yun this afternoon. You can replenish your energy slowly using your supernatural powers."

"If you really can't hold on any longer, come to me and I'll give you the pre-operative nutrient solution."

"Remember this: don't eat anything, no matter what it is."

"Don't even drink milk."

Shi Yu nodded gently.

"clear."

Shi Yu forced herself to drink the bowl of porridge, then got up and went to Dr. Guan Yun's laboratory to do her research.

After working for two and a half hours, Shi Yu delivered a design draft to Guan Yun's desk using holographic imaging technology.

Guan Yun has completed most of his research and is now remotely monitoring the production of the Hunter God Mech.

Hearing the sound of something approaching, Guan Yun became slightly interested. After looking at Shi Yu's design draft, he then looked at the huge satellite channel.

"Transmitting satellites? What theory are you basing this on?"

"The decomposition and recombination of atoms."

"The human body of every adult has approximately 7000000000000000000000000000 atoms."

(No need to count, there are 27 zeros after the 7.)

Shi Yu glanced at the design drawings and then said.

"Everything in this world is made up of atoms. I, you, and Nan Nan and Bai Yu who are huddled together watching TV outside are all made up of atoms."

"So imagine a satellite that can project a beam of light from outer space at a distance that breaks down a person into atoms, absorbs them into space, and then launches all these atoms to a designated location before reassembling them into a person. Wouldn't that theoretically achieve teleportation?"

"This thing makes it easy for us to go and deal with any strange occurrences we encounter, saving us the trouble of traveling."

"Sigh, your idea is wonderful, but I have to pour cold water on it for you now."

"If you consider the human body as a painting, your idea is to completely shatter that painting and then piece it back together according to its original shape, or even put all the broken pieces back together."

"There can be no mistakes in this process, because any mistake could lead to a very serious accident."

"Moreover, even if this thing is actually made, it must undergo more than 10,000 human trials before it can be put into use. And the only possible clone is absolutely not allowed to be made. Even we cannot violate this prohibition."

"Currently, the most common application of clones is to create a clone without a brain, and then amputate or transplant vital organs. Even using death row inmates falls far short of the standard."
