The blade cut through the dark, hard skin, and blood that was almost solidified slowly flowed out, mixed with a sticky black liquid.
Cao Yicong screamed in pain, and the limb suddenly became even more violent. Li Liangbin and Wang Yong were already prepared and pressed down together, letting out a hissing sound. Although both of them were tall and strong men, and they tried their best, they could barely hold it down, and they also had to be careful not to be splashed by the black liquid.
However, as long as they put in more effort and put in more effort, they could complete their task.
For Gu Jun, strength was only one of the factors. There were also eyesight, calmness, skills, stability, and so on.
He was kneeling on the ground on one knee. The small open medical box was placed next to him, and the instruments and drugs were arranged.
Because the predetermined osteotomy level was only about five centimeters away from the scapula, the front and back skin flaps he designed were very short. With just a few cuts, the skin and deep fascia were cut along the line of incision. The limb tissue above had not mutated. The skin was skin, and the deep fascia was deep fascia.
However, the limb was constantly struggling, and the scalpel in Gu Jun's hand had to change accordingly with the movement caused by it. It was like a small boat sailing on a stormy sea. It could not be overturned by the storm, but it had to steer the storm.
"This is not … my hand …" The limb was amputated, but Cao Yicong did not feel comfortable. Instead, he felt another kind of pain, and he walked closer to delirium.
After pulling up the flap, Gu Jun looked for the brachial artery and vein on the inside of the biceps. The gray sky cast a gray light, which was very difficult to compare to the shadowless lamp. There was no first assistant, second assistant, or other assistance next to him, only his own hands.
He held the dissecting forceps in his left hand to clamp the blood vessel to expose it, and took the needle with catgut in his right hand to double ligate the blood vessel, and then cut it with the scalpel.
Sweat was already flowing from his forehead. Every move had to be done carefully, and a little carelessness would cause a lot of bleeding.
Li Liangbin watched more nervously than the chief surgeon. Be careful …
He and Wang Yong did not understand. The light was dim, and the operating area was blurred. How could they pick out the blood vessel from the pile of flesh and blood?
They still had to do all kinds of treatment … However, they did not see the scene of blood flowing like a pillar. The unclear operating area still had some surgical field.
Under these conditions, Gu Jun severed all the arteries and veins that he wanted to sever. Then, he injected 0.5% procaine into the proximal end of the osteotomy for local closure. After that, he severed the radial nerve, median nerve, and ulnar nerve. These nerves could still naturally retract to the proximal end of the osteotomy. Then, he severed the muscle.
The two investigators who were watching from the side sighed for Gu Jun. His needlework was really good, and his fingers were really as firm as a rock.
At the same time, they became more and more worried about Deputy Captain Cao.
"Hand … It's not my hand …" Cao Yicong's body struggled even more violently, and the color of his face was close to dark-purple.
Gu Jun had been paying attention to the patient's condition the whole time. From time to time, he would say a few words of encouragement or talk to the patient to check the patient's mental state. At this time, he said, "Vice-captain Cao, hold on a little longer. You'll be fine soon. Now, you need to show your willpower. No problem. "
Cao Yicong's expression kept changing as he fought against the power of darkness. If it were an ordinary person, they would have long been unable to withstand it. "Cut it off … Cut it off …"
At this stage of the surgery, the difficulty had become the cutting and trimming of the muscle.
Gu Jun's hands had gradually gotten used to the rhythm. His hands were fast, and the blade was even faster. He cut the muscle and then pulled it, together with the posterior flap, to the proximal end, so that the stump could be as cylindrical as possible. That way, the prosthesis could be installed and used after the surgery better. The blade then made a circular incision of the periosteum at the osteotomy level, and then the periosteum was peeled off to the distal end.
There was no periosteum stripper in the small medical box, so he used the handle of the dissecting forceps to complete the operation.
There was no more blood flowing out of the operating area, but there was more black fluid flowing out, and the abnormal part of the limb was also more strange.
Not only were the blood vessels twisting inside, but it was also not just the muscles that were twisting. Even the bones were twisting, and it was unknown what kind of structural change was happening.
Gu Jun knew that time was running out. If he did not remove this strange limb soon, Deputy Captain Cao's life would be in danger.
Li Liangbin and Wang Yong's faces were drenched in sweat. They did not have much strength to hold on for long, and they were still holding on with one breath …
However, they finally saw the bone layer. The humerus was the long bone of the upper limb. Under normal circumstances, it was very hard.
This humerus was almost bounded by the predetermined osteotomy level. The top was the normal color of the bone, but the bottom was the color of the mutated bone with black spots that were faintly discernible. It was wrapped by the muscles and fascia that had become like rotten mud. This mutation speed was far faster than the ordinary patients with Alien Hand Syndrome who were admitted to the Medical Department.
At this stage, the next step was the bone amputation.
Using a high-powered bone saw, the bone was sawed horizontally.
That was when there was a bone saw or any kind of saw.
Now, Gu Jun held the Carlop scalpel in his right hand in a grasping position. He fixed his eyes on the exposed bone in the operating area and took a deep breath.
"Ah …" Cao Yicong shouted and struggled. He was also trying his best to hold on. Li Liangbin and Wang Yong used all their strength to hold him down, trying their best to fix the abnormal limb. The three of them were at the end of their tether. Every blood vessel and nerve was stretched taut. They could snap at any moment and fall to the ground.
Gu Jun closed his eyes. His mind quickly entered that state and then opened them again.
At that moment, he seemed to have become one with the scalpel. The scalpel was an extension of his hand and the blade was his will.
His biceps and triceps gathered strength. His forearm, wrist, palm, finger, blade, and blade, this force connected into a line. It pierced through the scalpel and swung horizontally at the humerus in the operating area. Crack! It hit the target.
There was a resistance but he gritted his teeth and increased his strength. The blade instantly felt like it could pierce through the surface of the bone …
Li Liangbin and Wang Yong were dumbfounded. The situation was very different from what they expected.
Their rationality had been holding back on whether the scalpel could cut through bone or not. If it could, then it should have the same effect as the Ancient Seal.
But there was no spark and no light. It was like cutting vegetables, it went in and came out.
In an instant, the abnormal limb was separated from the injured person. Cao Yicong screamed with relief. Li Liangbin and Wang Yong used their last bit of energy to toss the abnormal limb to the side and avoid the splattering black fluid.
But then, Gu Jun's eyes narrowed. Li Liangbin and Wang Yong were also shocked. Only Cao Yicong did not realize it.
Perhaps this humerus could be cut by the scalpel because the blade was sharp enough and the bone itself …
The bone inside seemed to have been sucked dry. It was sucked toward the abnormal limb to be consumed.
The inside of the bone stump was empty.
