Chapter 1679: Chapter 1084: Heroine of the Republic 58

After all, he hadn’t performed such a skill-requiring surgery for a long time, so An Yi remained quite cautious and attentive. After nearly three hours of struggle, aside from the bullet in the head, he had already found eight fragments remaining in the body. The extracted fragments were already beginning to rust; if left untreated, infection would ensue, leading to a short lifespan.

Next came the critical head surgery. She sat beside the area resting for about half an hour, glanced at the minimal blood stains, and felt quite satisfied.

With the help of magic, the greatest benefit was the ability to minimize bleeding points as much as possible. In cases of minimal blood loss, blood transfusions were no longer necessary.

The head surgery made her wrist tense, as the most crucial aspect of craniotomy is opening the skull...

As time ticked by, An Yi’s surgery lasted a total of six hours. It took her six hours to extract that bullet; sweat soaked her surgical gown. Fortunately, a third hand helped her wipe her sweat. When the head surgery was completed and stitched up, at that moment she stood upright, feeling all her muscles relax...

Though the surgery was over, Qin Zheng still couldn’t leave the operating room, meaning observation for almost ten hours was still necessary.

She surrounded the lawn with screens, blocking most of the light. As Qin Zheng was about to regain consciousness, she walked to his side to monitor some of his vitals.

Wearing a mask and hat, she was unconcerned that his hazy consciousness could remember anything about her, so she didn’t even consider sticking on the face covering.

In Qin Zheng’s current state, as the anesthetic wore off, he couldn’t be fully awake. For the questions she asked, like this is you, do you remember your name, why you’re lying here, and other such questions, as long as he could fully answer them, the surgery was considered a success.

Since anesthetic couldn’t be continuously applied, after it wore off, she employed magic on him, then set up an IV drip. She lay on a bed beside him for a short rest; during hunger or thirst she replenished her energy, otherwise, it was really hard to endure such a long period.

She entered the space around ten in the morning. Calculating to eight in the evening, the external time was ten hours, while more than twenty hours had passed in the space, which was ample for observation.

So, as long as she set an alarm to ascertain the drip change time, she could spend the rest of the time lying beside him, relaxing her mind and body.

An Yi was tense inside the space, as were those outside, frequently walking to the doorway to listen for any signs.

"Sis has been hungry for a whole day; we don’t know when she’ll come out. You see, we dare not disturb her."

Anna reassured Angel, "Sister hasn’t spoken, which proves the situation is fine. Don’t worry, wasn’t it the same last time, she’ll come out on time." ℯℯ𝘭.𝘤ℴ𝘮

Around six in the afternoon, the family started cooking for An Yi.

During the countdown, An Yi used her eyes to scan all of Qin Zheng’s internal vitals. The examination found it even more successful than she imagined.

"Seems your physical constitution is quite good."

The mark left on his brain was very small; if it was done using advanced future surgical equipment, the surgery would still be very successful. But what was advantageous over cold machines was that the magic could propel the surgery’s progress; for instance, the bullet was stuck there, how could one ensure it was flawlessly removed without touching nerve lines?

Magic surrounded it completely, moving it bit by bit, much stronger than her using tools from outside to inside.

The surgery took so long, actually because she used too much magic, exhausting her physical strength too quickly, necessitating brief rests before holding her breath again to gradually move it outward. That bullet was said to be removed using surgical tweezers, more accurately, it was moved out bit by bit with magic.

At eight in the evening, after his IV had finished, she transferred him from space back to the room and opened the door.

By then, it was already dark outside. Of course, she constantly monitored external conditions; as soon as it darkened, she went outside to switch on the electric lights, and exchanged a few words with her sister, asking them not to worry, and so forth.

After tidying the room, making sure no traces were left behind, she cleared out all the garbage from the operating room, letting them see the bloodstained sheets, gauze, contaminated blood, and bullet and fragments extracted during surgery, etc.

If Gu Cheng and Qin Zheng participated in the surgery with the attitude of treating a dead horse like a living horse, then when Gu Cheng saw the complete bullet in the tray, and the darkened bullet fragments, his admiration for An Yi had reached an indescribable level.

The gradually awakening Qin Zheng turned his gaze toward An Yi in a way that made her feel like he could almost see through her, though she felt a bit uneasy about this gaze, she nonetheless lowered her head and told him about the surgery, also stated: "The surgery was very successful, if you wish to continue being a soldier, it is entirely possible."

However, Qin Zheng shook his head, "It was a magical surgery, wasn’t it? If they knew you were the one who treated me, what do you guess you’ll face?"
