The intense sorrow was diluted by a profoundly stirring and inconceivable victory.
But concerned about Li Yang, Gao Yuan hurried back only to have his joy in victory completely disappear at the sight of Li Yang covered in blood.
"How is he?"
Gao Yuan asked cautiously, barely daring to raise his voice for fear of disturbing Wang Ning, who was crouched on the ground.
Surgery is always a bloody affair, and now, with the extreme lack of medical facilities, the operation was seriously unsettling.
The sight was frightening indeed.
Wang Ning had blood only on his hands, but Liu Deguang and Lizhizi, who were assisting at the side, were covered in blood, leaving one to wonder just how much blood Li Yang had lost.
"He's lost a lot of blood, and the wound on his neck is troublesome, but he's not going to die."
Wang Ning didn't look up as he picked up a pair of pointed tweezers from a plate on the ground and began suturing the blood vessels.
