"Madam Hu is dead? When did this happen?"
"You finally decided to co out!" Huang Zai'an glared at her, his face puffing up with anger.
"What do you an, I shouldn't co out?"
Qi Yue glanced at the sun on the horizon, "It's not like I'm that late, right? You, as a master, berate your own apprentice like this?"
"Hmph—hmph hmph!!"
Huang Zai'an pursed his beard, issuing several exaggerated snorts.
"Not that late? Are you sure? Do you want to look at the calendar? See how many days you've missed today?"
A bad premonition rose in Qi Yue's heart.
Could it be that a whole day had already passed today, not just a few shichen?
"Ah, let's not do that. Isn't it just a few shichen late? Let's not make a big fuss..."
"Make a big fuss?" Huang Zai'an whooshed a calendar out from his bosom, "You look, take a good look, are those just a few shichen you missed?"
Qi Yue silently recalled.
The night was long, but it wouldn't amount to a few days, at most a day.
This old man always liked to exaggerate; she never took him seriously.
"I'll look! I will just..."
She opened the calendar with full gusto, just about to check, when she heard Huang Zai'an coldly snort.
"Today is the 18th!"
Qi Yue felt her face heat up as if flas were licking her.
——Wasn't the day she caught Lin An the 15th?
She unconsciously began counting on her fingers, silently tallying.
"16th, 17th, 18th..."
Could it be, these were several days and nights?
She rembered.
It seed she had eaten three tis, fed the White Rhino four tis, discussed how to help her little assistant put on armor, and even taken a few naps...
"Did you count? How many days is it?" Huang Zai'an squinted his eyes, his face brimming with mockery.
Qi Yue threw the calendar aside as if it burned her hand and gave a dodging reply, "What a crap calendar, the dates are all wrong. Just wait, one of these days I'll rewrite it myself!"
Huang Zai'an's face showed a helpless grimace.
"'One of these days,' you'll likely be asleep..."
"Enough, old man, stop nagging," Qi Yue sat down across from him, "So did that woman actually die or not?"
Huang Zai'an continued to roll his eyes glaring at her.
"It should be a matter of ti now, do you still want to study those so-called active nerves?"
"Yes, I'm on it."
Qi Yue imdiately stood up, calling Hei Lie to prepare the relevant materials.
Originally, the best place to do this was on the surgical table in the Space Mall, but she felt it was too embarrassing.
Secondly, she did not want to bring anyone other than Zhao Xiyan into her space anymore.
When they got to the Hu Residence, Qi Yue found that Madam Hu's breath was getting weaker, as if it could cease at any mont.
And the blisters all over her body were forming a contiguous layer on the skin's surface, like a transparent film.
"Master, you're right, we have to act fast."
Qi Yue ordered, hurridly putting on protective suits and gave one each to Huang Zai'an and Little Shanzi as well.
Huang Zai'an's voice sounded hollow from within the helt.
"You probably haven't slept well these past few days, can you manage?"
Upon hearing this, Qi Yue imdiately recalled her ti spent sweetly tangled with Zhao Xiyan in the Space Mall, forgetting all about ti.
"You worry too much, old man. I'm more concerned this woman might suddenly burst open."
As she spoke, she quickly got into her protective suit and helped Little Shanzi into his as well.
She had decided to bring Little Shanzi into the mix on the spur of the mont, to let him learn sothing too.
The boy was young, with a reserved nature, and had the makings of a good surgeon.
Since she was settling down in this world, it was ti to slowly develop its dical science.
Training a few successors was inevitable.
Several people moved the nearly-dead Madam Hu to an already prepared isolated room, set up all kinds of tools, and Qi Yue began explaining the dissection process to the two of them.
Just as she reached a crucial point, she suddenly saw the eyes behind Little Shanzi's helt widening slowly, as if he had seen sothing unbelievable.
Qi Yue quickly followed his gaze and, without hesitation, tossed out a pre-prepared oversized body bag, fitting it over Madam Hu.
Through the transparent plastic bag, the three of them clearly saw Madam Hu's body burst like an egg under pressure, oozing its contents.
This scene was truly disgusting.
Even Qi Yue, who had seen countless bloody sights, couldn't help but vomit.
Huang Zai'an and Little Shanzi were even worse, throwing up so much they eventually both fainted.
"What a lack of backbone!" Qi Yue muttered, having Hei Lie take the two of them ho, "Tell them not to co over again."
"Master, don't we need Dr. Huang to keep an eye on things here?"
Qi Yue's mouth twitched.
"No need, they don't have to co anymore."
Hei Lie looked astonished.
"Why? There are still a few family mbers of the patients outside wanting to inquire about the condition of their loved ones."
"Tell them their people are dead, say it was my words, the patients need to be handled with sparks, and we will give them the ashes afterward."
"Yes, I will see to it imdiately."
At this mont, Zhao Xiyan hurried over upon hearing the conversation and felt puzzled by Qi Yue's arrangents.
"Yueyue, has there been so unexpected developnt?"
"Yes, the situation is not great," Qi Yue tapped on her protective helt, indicating she still had to go back in and deal with it, "We'll talk later."
Just as she was about to return, she suddenly rembered sothing about Lin Yuan and turned back to ask.
"Based on the ti, Lin Yuan should have stiffened by now, we need to deal with it quickly."
"Don't worry, Yueyue, it's already being handled."
"I forgot to tell Qu Wei earlier, after all, Lin Yuan is his biological father, I don't know if he..."
"Alright," Zhao Xiyan patted her helted head, "Don't worry too much, I've already told him and it will be taken care of."
Qi Yue did not expect Zhao Xiyan to rember such matters, and she gave him a big thumbs up.
Upon returning to the scene, Qi Yue was once again utterly shocked by the sight in front of her.
After spraying out fluid, that corpse didn't stop there; it was actually still slowly dissolving.
By now, the ginger-yellow fluid had already flowed down from the bed to the ground.
"Ugh!"
Qi Yue gasped and quickly released her little assistant.
In such a situation, she really couldn't manage to collect samples for study.
The little assistant, seeing the outside world for the first ti, seed quite intrigued and turned its chanical head around to look everywhere.
"Little assistant, quickly process this sample."
Upon Qi Yue's command, the little assistant imdiately obeyed.
"Yes, master!"
Being an emotionless machine, the little assistant was completely indifferent to the disgusting scene in front of it.
It waved its nimble chanical arms, ticulously processing each sample.
Qi Yue was just responsible for proper storage.
Finally, after finishing the process, the little assistant began its chatter mode again.
"Master, is this the Frozen Man?"
"Yes, do you have any opinions?"
The little assistant spread its hands.
"Once it enters the frozen phase, it ans there's no hope left."
"Do you know the reason?"
"I don't know, I'm just a machine, I can only co to this conclusion based on the program."
"...Since you are a machine, why do you talk so much?"
"Perhaps it has sothing to do with the person who made ?" the little assistant rotated its eyes, "Maybe he was too lonely and wanted a machine to talk to?"
Qi Yue snorted.
"More nonsense! Alright, it's ti for you to go back."
"Master, could I breathe so fresh air again?"
"The air and humidity outside might damage you, do you still want to stay?"
"It doesn't matter, after all, I am a machine."
Qi Yue rolled her eyes and put it back into the space.
However, the little assistant was still babbling inside the space.
"Master, what I really want to suggest personally..."
"You, a machine, have personal suggestions?"
"Of course, it's a suggestion based on the strong resource integration capability granted by my program. Have you forgotten, master, I am connected to the Space Mall and the infinite universe beyond it."
