Chapter 118: Professionals Are Just Built Different |
Although the other party was only three-star, Qin Ziwen always felt that this taciturn man, who was like a stone from start to finish, was not simple.
This method of hiding his presence, if used in the forest, would be very dangerous.
Wang Yun said, "This is Hunter, Yang Cunshen, also my companion."
Du Yu, standing behind Qin Ziwen, looked at Yang Cunshen, a flicker of vigilance flashing in his eyes. This man gave him a dangerous feeling.
Wang Yun sighed, his tone complex, "It's all my fault. I didn't listen to Cunshen's advice at the time. Cunshen advised me to eradicate the root of the problem, to kill all the remaining members of that team. I was soft-hearted."
Mentioning this, Wang Yun was filled with remorse.
He believed he was the one who caused the deaths of those teammates.
He looked at Qin Ziwen and said seriously, "If you have enemies, you must eradicate the root of the problem. Never be soft-hearted. Here, if you don't eat others, others will eat you!"
Qin Ziwen stood up, "Brother Wang Yun, we must not delay. I'll go back first to get the medicine."
Returning to his residence, Qin Ziwen invited Qian Muzhen and gave him a mask to wear.
Although this infectious disease was contagious, it was limited to droplets from coughing and phlegm.
Returning to Wang Yun's home, Qian Muzhen checked Lin Yi's pulse through the door, then observed her complexion, asked a few questions, and returned to the living room.
Wang Yun swallowed nervously and asked, "How is it?"
Qian Muzhen shook his head, "Evil heat is intense, phlegm turbidity obstructs the lungs. This condition is quite severe. Medical theory says, 'Treat the symptoms in acute cases, treat the root cause in chronic cases.' I have seen the instruction leaflet for that 'cephalosporin' medicine. She can take two doses first to observe the effect. If the condition worsens after taking the medicine, she must stop. Avoid conflicting medicinal properties causing additional complications."
"Thank you, Doctor!" Wang Yun bowed deeply.
Qian Muzhen said, "Although other medicines cannot be used, daily care is most crucial. This is the key to stabilizing the illness. Remember this."
Wang Yun hurriedly fetched paper and pen.
Qian Muzhen instructed, "First, help pat her back frequently to assist in coughing up phlegm. Second, a light diet, absolutely no greasy food. Third, ventilate the room, avoid catching a cold..."
A moment later, the consultation ended.
After it ended, Wang Yun brought two air-dried field mice from the kitchen.
"What's this for?"
Wang Yun's expression was serious, "It's not for you. It's my consultation fee for Doctor Qian."
Qian Muzhen also knew the current state of the other people in the residential complex and waved his hand in polite refusal.
After much polite refusal, he ultimately couldn't resist Wang Yun's sincerity and accepted one.
Then, Wang Yun said with a burning gaze, "From now on, you are the captain. If there's anything, just give the order."
Qin Ziwen said with a smile, "Speaking of which, it's also fate. Besides Doctor Qian, there's another doctor in my team now, a surgeon. Adding you, that makes three doctors."
Wang Yun was speechless, "I'm just a veterinarian, how can I be considered a doctor? Emergency wound dressing is fine, but for other things, it's better to listen to the other two doctors."
Qin Ziwen said, "Tomorrow we go up the mountain. I know the location of an altar."
Wang Yun wasn't surprised by this, "To have recruited so many people, you must have also discovered a private altar. But... I just joined, and you're telling me directly? You trust me this much?"
Qin Ziwen said, "Since I invited you to join my team, then I trust you. Otherwise, what's the point of inviting you to join?"
Wang Yun didn't say anything, just nodded silently. He said to Qin Ziwen, "Actually, before you came, I was discussing with Yang Cunshen about hunting the giant toad. Because my wife's condition has been worsening. If we can obtain the card it drops, I think there might be more opportunities."
"You plan to hunt that giant toad?" Qin Ziwen raised an eyebrow, "How do you plan to hunt it?"
Wang Yun said, "Very simple, use fire. With its size, ordinary methods aren't very effective against it, so I decided to burn it! There's gasoline in the car, we can make Molotov cocktails and throw them at it. I don't believe a carbon-based life form can withstand temperatures of over a thousand degrees."
He paused, then continued, "But there are also several problems. First, the giant toad is right by the river. Using Molotov cocktails now wouldn't pose much of a threat to it. From observations over the past two days, it can swim. If it hides in the river, it can avoid the cocktails. So, we must attack it when it's far from the river, not giving it a chance to approach the water source. Regarding this point, Cunshen came up with a plan. He said we could use bows and arrows to ambush it on its return journey, injure its eyes, and destroy its vision."
"Secondly, although so far, this giant toad hasn't shown any superpowers, the very existence of both us and this giant toad already exceeds conventional scientific understanding. So, it's not impossible for it to have superpowers."
Wang Yun pushed up his glasses and said seriously, "Finally, its size is too large. The area a single Molotov cocktail can burn is limited. Its body surface area exceeds fifty square meters. Moreover, to support such a massive body, I suspect its body structure might have undergone certain changes as well."
"Normal small toads have a keratin layer on their skin surface. The function of the keratin layer is to prevent water evaporation from the body, provide wear resistance, and there are also some skin glands that can secrete toxins."
"But at its size, the thickness of the keratin layer would definitely be greater, and its toughness and wear resistance wouldn't be less than thick cowhide."
"And to support such a large body, just having a keratin layer might not be enough. Toads originally have intra-dermal bone structures. I suspect this giant toad, like crocodiles, might have already developed a layer of bony plates on its back. Molotov cocktails might only be able to burn its outer skin, not reach its internal organs."
Hearing these professional terms, Qin Ziwen didn't quite understand, "What is intra-dermal bone?"
"Simply put, it's a layer of bone grown separately under the skin, not connected to other surrounding bones." Wang Yun reached out and knocked on his own arm.
Qin Ziwen understood now.
The way he looked at Wang Yun now was full of admiration. This is what professionalism is! This is professionalism!
No wonder he's a veterinarian. Professionals are just different.
He was even already preparing to hunt this giant toad.
Qin Ziwen asked, "In that case, how many Molotov cocktails need to be prepared?"
The corner of Wang Yun's mouth turned up, "At least sixty. I've already prepared thirty."
He got up and went to another bedroom, retrieving a green beer bottle from inside. A small strip of cloth extended from the bottle's mouth.
"To solve the problem of gasoline sliding off its body, I also added some laundry detergent inside as a thickener. This way, when thrown, it can stick to its body and burn."
Qin Ziwen said, "If I'm not mistaken, this giant toad won't stay by the river for long before returning to the mountain. I know its return route. We can set traps and ambushes in advance."
Hearing Qin Ziwen's words, Wang Yun's eyes lit up.
"That would be perfect then."
