Operating Room Four.
Lu Yuan was busy working on Seventh Brother's two legs.
Since the blood demon apes had a structure similar to humans, this surgery was just more steps without much difficulty.
For Lu Yuan, it was just a matter of methodically connecting the corresponding blood vessels, bones, nerves, and artificial spirit tubes.
Seventh Brother lay quietly on the operating table after being given anesthesia.
Under the operating table was a basket lined with gauze specially made by Lu Yuan.
On the gauze were Seventh Brother's two legs that Lu Yuan had just sawed off and were still dripping blood.
While busy, Lu Yuan would glance at Seventh Brother's stomach from time to time, and his hand holding the scalpel would involuntarily want to drift in that direction.
After more than two hours, Lu Yuan finally managed to install one left leg for Seventh Brother. He decided to take a break first.
It wasn't because of fatigue, but because some bad thoughts were at work in his mind.
Lu Yuan really hadn't dissected any ability users for a while. The last one was the old woman from Cloud City, but she wasn't an ability user, so for Lu Yuan it was just to satisfy his cravings.
Although this Seventh Brother in front of him wasn't an ability user either—
However!
The blood demon apes were mutated beasts that had absorbed spiritual energy, so Seventh Brother, who was fitted with the blood demon ape's legs, would also undergo mutation himself and become an ability user!
Didn't this mean?!
Once this thought arose, Lu Yuan's gaze could no longer leave Seventh Brother's stomach.
However, as a doctor, professional ethics did not allow Lu Yuan to do that.
That was why Lu Yuan decided to take a break halfway.
Otherwise, if he really couldn't resist the urge and, after the patient was under anesthesia, cut the person open to observe carefully, even if he neatly stitched the person back together afterwards, it would still be a very unethical thing to do.
Of course Lu Yuan had the ability to operate on Seventh Brother without him finding out at all, but Lu Yuan's conscience and the white coat he wore did not allow him to do so.
During the break, Lu Yuan changed out of his sterile surgical gown and went to the rest area next door to drink some water.
Not seeing Liu Yuan there, Lu Yuan assumed she had gone to deal with the zombie infected person.
But when Lu Yuan looked at the CCTV footage on the IPD screen on the table, he found that although the zombie infected person on the basement level had indeed regained consciousness from shock, there was no sign of Liu Yuan.
Closing his eyes and taking a deep breath, after about two or three seconds, Lu Yuan opened his eyes with a helpless expression and muttered: "Kids these days, always causing trouble for adults..."
...
Basement Level Three.
In the dark corridor, Liu Yuan hugged Zhang Baobao tightly, both with eyes shut tight.
Beside the two of them, the sinister voices shrouded in darkness kept howling ceaselessly.
"Lu Yuan!"
"Lu Yuan!"
"You lied to me!"
Hiding in Liu Yuan's arms, Zhang Baobao had been very obedient and did not open her eyes.
Suddenly, she asked in a low voice, "Nurse sister, that voice sounds so scary..."
Liu Yuan gently patted the little one's back and reassured her, "Don't be afraid, don't be afraid. Rest assured, no one can harm us on Dr. Lu's territory."
"Remember, never open your eyes no matter what. As long as you keep your eyes closed, you'll be fine."
"What if...what if I open my eyes..."
"Then it would be terrible, very terrible."
"Oh..."
It seemed that Liu Yuan's words had frightened Zhang Baobao. She didn't say anything more as she hid in Liu Yuan's arms.
Time trickled by slowly. The angry roars from the darkness around them did not abate at all. Gradually, footsteps could be heard coming from the front of the corridor.
Liu Yuan and Zhang Baobao's bodies shook at the same time!
At this time, there was no one else who could come here in the clinic!
"Lu Yuan?! Is that you?!"
"You're here?!"
"Hahahaha! You finally came!"
At the same time, the sinister voice hidden in the darkness burst into loud laughter!
Then, a violent gust of wind surged from the depths of the corridor, blowing fiercely past Liu Yuan and Zhang Baobao and attacking in the direction of the footsteps!
At this moment, it felt to Liu Yuan and Zhang Baobao as if countless resentful spirits were howling angrily!
Lu Yuan walked slowly over from the front of the corridor, watching the turbulent darkness engulfing him without flinching, allowing it to surround him.
"Lu Yuan! You lied to me!"
Hearing the resentful voice from the darkness around him, Lu Yuan frowned and said, "What did I lie to you about?"
"You said you wouldn't allow the dead to blatantly appear on your territory!"
"That little nurse who's in cahoots with you was one thing, but now there's even a little brat?!"
Lu Yuan lightly coughed twice, a hint of dissatisfaction in his tone, "Watch your words, don't spew blood at people. That child isn't dead. She died and came back to life, you can't call her dead."
"Dead people are dead people! Even if they come back to life, they're still dead people!"
Lu Yuan said lightly, "I said she's not, so she's not."
Whoosh—
The darkness enveloping Lu Yuan seemed to become restless all at once, stirring up a gust of wind in the entire corridor!
"Lu Yuan! According to what you say, then I'm not dead either."
Lu Yuan still spoke in that indifferent tone, "No, you are."
Whoosh—
The thing hiding in the darkness seemed to be enraged to the extreme. It asked angrily, "Why?!"
Lu Yuan took out a pair of eyeglass frames without lenses from his white coat and put them on in an ostentatious manner. He gently pushed them up and breezily said, "Because I say you are, then you are."
Whoosh!
This time, the fierce cold wind blew so hard that Liu Yuan and Zhang Baobao shivered violently, and Lu Yuan's white coat fluttered noisily!
"Lu Yuan! You despicable, dishonorable wretch!"
"Today you'll stay here and keep me company!"
In an instant, the darkness surrounding Lu Yuan transformed into a emaciated ghostly claw, its five sharp and pointed fingers aimed straight at Lu Yuan's heart!
At this, a hint of contemptuous amusement flashed through Lu Yuan's eyes. Without any movement from him, bang dang!
The sound of over a thousand doors slamming into walls rang out in unison. In that instant just now, all the doors of the thousands of rooms in this corridor had opened simultaneously!
Immediately, all kinds of noises sounded from behind those open doors!
There were heavy footsteps, rapid breathing, and strange limbs scraping on the ground!
As these sounds rang out, Zhang Baobao being held in Liu Yuan's arms suddenly felt a sensation arising from deep within her—she was hungry!
But what she craved to eat was very peculiar. It was that mysterious darkness that had just passed by her!
Gurgle—
At the same time, Zhang Baobao also heard Liu Yuan's stomach growling.
Zhang Baobao wanted to turn towards that darkness enveloping Lu Yuan to get closer to it, but Liu Yuan hugged her tightly!
"Little one, unless you want to stay here forever, endure it!"
When Liu Yuan spoke, she was also swallowing her saliva, clearly exerting great effort to restrain her hunger!
On the other side, Lu Yuan looked at the claw-like demonic shadow of darkness surrounding him with a smile on his face, and asked obnoxiously, "Wanna fight?"
As Lu Yuan's voice fell, several figures emerged from the shadows of the doors closest to him.
These figures looked varied in physique and shape, different kinds and species, but they had one thing in common!
They were all extremely hungry!
And they were all staring at that claw-like darkness intently, as if it were food right before the eyes of starving beasts who hadn't eaten for days.
Just as this tense standoff continued, suddenly, a tender, childish voice came from the little one in Liu Yuan's arms.
"Sister, it said just now that you and Brother Lu...have legs together? What does having legs together mean?"
...
u serious?" Chen Feng watched helplessly as his painstakingly trained disciple, fresh off a championship victory, publicly abandoned him. "You had your chance, but you didn’t appreciate it. Now, face the consequences of your choice!" Chen Feng possessed the "Master System," a treasure trove of supreme martial arts techniques, capable of molding ordinary individuals into peerless prodigies. "Legs like yours? A shame not to train in the Crippling Kick." "Ever heard of a palm strike that descends from the heavens?" "Auntie! I see extraordinary bone structure in you—a martial arts prodigy, one in ten thousand." The once-defiant senior disciple, now watching her juniors rise to fame one after another, dominating the internet, was consumed by endless regret.

In the end, when his body is discovered, he is still clutching half a moldy fried dough stick in his hand. Fully aware of the plot, Long Aotian is determined to change his fate, starting with the female lead! In the beginning, the female lead lacks confidence: "Big brother, I hope I didn't scare you?" In the middle, the female lead treads carefully: "Brother Long, please don't hit me, okay?" Later on, the female lead becomes coquettishly clingy: "Aotian, it's time to pay the 'public grain' tonight." Long Aotian's legs go weak, and he feels like crying: "I taught you to be thick-skinned, not shameless!"
