Apocalyptic Reincarnation: Start with a 30-million Bonus

As soon as these words were spoken, Li Yu and Li Yuan immediately thought of one person.

Qingyang.

In the entire base, he’s the only Taoist.

Moreover, this Taoist Qingyang is a legitimate Taoist, skilled in martial arts. On the way back to the Big Camphor Tree Base, he showed considerable skill in fighting zombies along the Long River.

However, it’s unclear if he understands this acupuncture technique.

On the other hand, it’s uncertain if what Hua Qian, the old Chinese medicine doctor, said is as powerful as he claims.

All of this remains unknown.

Li Yu felt conflicted and turned his head again to ask Meng Yu and Liu Pengfei, ”Even if the surgery succeeds, it’s possible Grandpa won’t wake up, and even if he does, there could be some paralysis as sequelae? How likely is this?”

Both Meng Yu and Liu Pengfei exchanged a glance.

Meng Yu gritted her teeth and said, ”Actually, what Doctor Liu said earlier was somewhat conservative. Based on the CT results, Grandpa Liu’s condition is quite complicated. The success rate of waking up with surgery is less than half, and even if he wakes up, there is a very high likelihood of aphasia as a sequela.”

Li Yu frowned and asked, ”Isn’t there another way?”

Next to Meng Yu, Liu Pengfei shook his head and said, ”Before Doomsday, in cases like this, due to the need for craniotomy, the risks were relatively high, and many times conservative treatment was adopted. But the chances of waking up with conservative treatment are very low, though at least there’s no sudden risk. With conservative treatment, waking up depends on the patient himself.”

”So, we often use familiar objects to communicate with a comatose patient, such as talking to them.”

Li Yu’s face was very grim.

He turned to Hua Qian and asked, ”Is the acupuncture you mentioned really effective?”

Hua Qian was about to speak, but Liu Pengfei interjected, ”In fact, for strokes, Chinese medicine always has some methods, but its treatment approach is different from Western medicine. However, before Doomsday, acupuncture did indeed have some achievements in treating strokes.”

Hua Qian took over and nodded to continue, ”The acupuncture I know can only stabilize, but the Taoist Acupuncture Technique I mentioned, if someone knows it, it can definitely work.

Decades ago, I once saw with my own eyes a Taoist who used the Taiyin Needle Technique, but unfortunately, that person left after the treatment and I never saw him again.”

Li Yu watched him speak with such conviction.

He then discussed with Li Yuan and walked out of the medical room.

After leaving, Uncle and others immediately gathered around.

Li Yu signaled to Uncle with a glance and then took Uncle, Second Uncle, and Aunt to one side.

Grandma’s emotions were already on the brink of collapse; telling her this result now might be unbearable for her.

The situation was quite complicated, so he wanted to discuss it with Uncle and the others first.

So he relayed the conversation he had with Liu Pengfei in the medical room to Uncle and the others.

Upon hearing this, the expressions on Uncle and the others’ faces turned even grimmer.

None of them expected the situation to be so severe.

Second Uncle grabbed his hair, squatted on the ground, and buried his head, while Aunt cried nearby.

Uncle was relatively more composed; he looked at Li Yu and asked, ”Is what Hua Qian said reliable? Doesn’t he know the Taoist Acupuncture Technique?”

”He doesn’t.” Li Yu shook his head.

Uncle fell silent, suddenly remembering something and was about to speak to Li Yu.

Li Yu happened to speak at that moment: ”But it’s a coincidence, we have a Taoist Qingyang at our base now, but I don’t know if he knows the acupuncture technique. I plan to ask him.”

Li Yu said exactly what Uncle wanted to say.

He was also aware of Qingyang’s presence.

So he nodded vigorously and said, ”Then go find him quickly and ask if he knows!”

Li Yu didn’t waste any words and immediately contacted Second Uncle on the wall, asking him to send someone to bring Qingyang over.

At this moment, Second Uncle looked at Qingyang and Dongfeng in Weng City.

Coincidentally they came to borrow a car. The typhoon had damaged the car for Dongfeng’s group, leaving them no choice but to borrow a car from the Big Camphor Tree Base, deducting some points.

”Just as they came to Weng City to borrow a car, I’ll have someone bring him over.” Second Uncle wasted no words, replying.

Soon, He Chao led a puzzled Qingyang through the gate between Weng City and the Big Camphor Tree Base Inner City.

Upon entering the Inner City, Qingyang, like Meng Yu and Liu Pengfei, curiously looked around.

This was his first time entering the Inner City; despite the rampant typhoon, the entire Inner City was somewhat chaotic.

But there was still a glimpse of the good infrastructure and scenery in the Inner City.

Qingyang didn’t bring anything with him; when entering the Inner City, he even handed over the sword he was carrying.

”Director He, why was I urgently summoned here?” Qingyang asked, puzzled.

Just now, he was with Dongfeng getting a car when Li Yu’s Second Uncle suddenly rushed down, asking He Chao to bring him in.

Not a word of explanation was given.

He Chao, hearing Qingyang’s question, was unsure how to answer.

In truth, he didn’t exactly know the reason either.

But he had just learned of Li Yu’s grandpa’s situation from the walkie-talkie; perhaps it was related to this.

Still, he couldn’t speak carelessly, as he wasn’t sure if it was connected; it was just a guess.

So he said to Qingyang, ”I’m not really sure; anyway, Director Li wants to see you.”
