Chapter 1059: Surgery
People cultivate their own land, and most of the crops are similar to wheat. The only one that Rubik's Cube recognizes is corn. Corn has strong adaptability and high yield. The straw can also be used to make fires or build some simple straw sheds. It has good drought resistance, and it is more practical than growing rice. , the cornfields, which are more than one person tall, feel inexplicably desolate under the dim yellow sky...
When passing by a certain house, the owner did not point his gun at the Rubik's Cube like others did. Instead, he walked to the door and opened the wooden door with a sad face. It was a woman wearing coarse clothes with long black hair coiled on her head.
"Please...I need medicine..."
The woman said sadly to Rubik's Cube, who saw her husband squatting at the door of the house silently.
"There are many kinds of medicines, some can be taken and some cannot be taken. You just said you need medicine, but I don't know what medicine you need. I know a little medical skills, maybe I can help you see a doctor." Rubik's Cube thought for a while and decided to take a look. Just help, the couple don't look like bad people. When the Rubik's Cube said that he knew medical skills, the dull man at the door suddenly raised his head and stared at the Rubik's Cube.
"Doctor... please save my daughter... she is sick..." The woman's eyes turned red and she was about to kneel down. Fortunately, the Rubik's Cube caught her in time.
"Let's go take a look first. I can't confirm the disease before seeing the patient."
The bearded man came over and said thank you to Rubik's Cube in a muffled voice, then stepped aside and motioned Rubik's Cube to enter the house. It was not a suitable time for greetings. Rubik's Cube walked into the yard and went straight to the thatched house. The low thatched house was dark with smoke. There is a strong earthy smell. The door is the kitchen. There is an iron pot and a few aluminum dishes and chopsticks. There is a rag curtain when you walk in. When you open the curtain and walk in, you see a cellar in the dark room. There is a simple wooden bed lying on the bed next to the window. holding a girl.
The girl was eight or nine years old. Her limbs were intact and had not been mutated by radiation. She was breathing rapidly and closing her eyes tightly.
"My daughter suddenly said she had a stomachache yesterday. She screamed in pain this morning and there was nothing I could do. I had to use some tobacco leaves to make her fall asleep. Doctor... I heard that medication can cure my daughter... Please save her... ..." The man almost knelt on the ground and begged.
"Let me consider."
He walked closer and turned on the scanning system to scan silently, then reached out and touched the girl's belly.
Acute appendicitis is a disease that can be easily and quickly treated in a modern environment. Not to mention big hospitals, even an ordinary hospital can treat it. But now is the post-apocalypse, and the order has collapsed. Medical units are missing, there are no drugs, no training, and no institutions to disseminate relevant knowledge. , enough to cause death.
"Acute appendicitis requires immediate surgery. I know you don't have a hospital or a doctor here, so it's best to find liquor as soon as possible. Go quickly!"
The man rushed out without saying anything. If there was food, there would be wine. Without professional disinfectant, liquor was a no-brainer.
He reached out and took out the tools from his back, and quickly assembled the scalpel and other instruments. Fortunately, the Rubik's Cube has a mechanical eye and does not need a light. Otherwise, where can I find a light now? In addition, the room is disinfected. The thatch above the head and the dirt walls under the feet are made of stone and mud. The puzzle was completed, Rubik's Cube sighed, the surgical environment was almost the same as battlefield treatment.
Not long after, the man came in with a large bucket of liquor. Rubik's Cube found an iron pot and quickly made a simple sprayer, filled it with liquor and sprayed it into the room for disinfection.
The couple was driven out by the Rubik's Cube. Spraying and disinfecting them was better than nothing. The tobacco leaf coma was effective and saved the need for anesthesia. When there were no outsiders, the Rubik's Cube tried its best to use its maximum technological capabilities to perform the surgery. When the knife moved, there was no blood flowing, and the fingers Perform surgery flexibly and quickly, but energy is consumed rapidly...
Accurate and error-free, more professional than a professional doctor. After the treatment, he began to suture the wound. The stapler-like tool clicked and nailed a row of medical staples near the wound.
The Rubik's Cube, which consumed a lot of energy, put away the tools and put them in his backpack, looked at the girl who was still sleeping, turned around, opened the door curtain and walked out of the room.
"After the operation, I need to lie down and don't move for seven days. I'll bask in the sun for a while."
After the instructions, I went to the door and found a place to sit down. I raised my head to bask in the sun and absorb the solar energy to replenish my energy consumption. The surgery was not big, but it took a lot of energy to make tools, such as scalpels that cut without bleeding, and finally sutures, etc. It all requires energy. If you were an adult, you wouldn't need to bother. That's just a child.
Close your eyes slightly and feel the beautiful afternoon sunshine...
After resting for an hour, Rubik's Cube opened his eyes.
"What are you...doing..."
I was shocked when I just opened my eyes. The yard in front of me and outside the yard were filled with nearby survivors. Many people were bringing their children and some were standing there by themselves. After seeing the Rubik's Cube wake up, they surrounded it. Only when they spoke did they know What do they come for? To treat their children or themselves. Many children born in the radiation area are born with disabilities or freaks. They have no legs or arms or their bones are twisted. After knowing that there is a doctor, many people bring their children to ask for help. treat.
"I'm sorry...I can't do anything..."
It's not that they don't want to be treated, but that they really can't do anything. If there is a medium-sized battleship here, the medical cabin can treat them and even equip them with intelligent neural prostheses. But now there is only Rubik's Cube himself.
"If I find a way, I will come back to help you, but I am really powerless now, so sorry..."
Mofang squeezed through the numb and sad crowd and walked away without looking back. The people behind him were still standing there with their children. They knew in their hearts that their children's diseases were very difficult to treat. It was just an instinct to come here to find Mofang. Mofang tried not to look back at those desperate eyes as he walked away. If he found a way in the future, he would come back...
Going farther and farther...
On the dirt road in the radiation zone covered with weeds, Mofang walked away without stopping. Occasionally, a truck or off-road vehicle would pass by on the road. Without exception, all of them were modified vehicles.
With more and more farmers and wider roads, it proved that Mofang's previous speculation about the city was correct. It was just that it felt very strange after walking for a day. Even if everyone was not infected by radiation, they looked depressed. There was no laughter and no peace of mind. The atmosphere was very strange. I always felt that there was a huge threat looming over my head.
As time went by, the sun set in the west, and the sense of uneasiness increased significantly. Those farmers did not care that they had not collected the food or tools and hurried home, as if the night could swallow them.
When the farmers passed by the Cube, they looked at the stranger walking slowly with surprised eyes. They wanted to stop him and ask him questions, but unfortunately, these people ran home in a hurry as if they had seen a ghost. They ran into the house, closed the door and extinguished the candle, and then there was no movement. The sun had not yet completely set, and the red sunset glow was blood red...
