Global Apocalypse: The True Young Master Awakens and Tames the Villain

Chapter 33



Dying?

The slippery tentacles wrapped around his waist. Liu Jin’an tried many times but still couldn’t break free.

His eyes swept over the others. Their faces were ashen, like puppets that had lost their vitality.

This was what it felt like to be at the mercy of others.

Until then, Liu Jin’an hadn’t dared to place all his hope in the content of the novel.

He didn’t know whether they would be teleported out or eaten by the sea monsters.

It would have been nice if Xiao Duan had been there.

At least he wouldn’t have felt as helpless as he did now.

Time passed minute by minute.

Those captured by the tentacles had completely given up struggling and were waiting for death to come.

Hu Jianye still had the strength to cry, “Mom and Dad, I’m sorry, I couldn’t protect you. In the next life, I will be your father, and I’ll take care of you!”

Zhang Wenqian said angrily, “You have a beautiful idea, you still want to take advantage of me. There’s no way.”

“You and Boy An will come to our house in the next life and be our sons,” Hu Deyi said, his eyes red, choking up. “This child Jin’an has had a hard life and hasn’t met a good family. He’ll come to our house to enjoy happiness in the next life.”

Really, why were they being so emotional?

Unknowingly, Liu Jin’an was also infected by their words and had a sore nose.

His life was hard, and he was extremely lucky to have met the Hu family, who treated him like family.

He only regretted that his lack of ability had led the Hu family to a dead end.

He didn’t know how much time had passed, but they were still hanging in the air.

The sea monster’s body never appeared. Liu Jin’an counted eighteen people—not too many, not too few.

Chang Siqin’s clear voice broke the silence: “The sea monster doesn’t seem to be planning to eat us?”

“Isn’t it hungry?” Hu Jianye could only think of this. “Isn’t it using us as a food reserve?”

Food reserves?

No, Liu Jin’an suddenly realized that he seemed to have gone astray.

The novel was still reliable.

Jialinhe’s gift could be rated as an F-level test, so it was impossible for anyone to die.

He closed his eyes and felt the supernatural power in his body. Sure enough, it was slowly growing.

It turned out that the tentacles had captured them not to eat them, but to exercise their powers.

After realizing this, Liu Jin’an finally felt relieved.

In order to reassure everyone, he said indirectly, “Maybe the tentacle is just joking with us. Please hold on, and it will let us go when it has had enough fun.”

Many people scoffed at Liu Jin’an’s speculation, and even Hu Jianye didn’t quite believe it. “The tentacles are so childlike?”

Liu Jin’an raised the corner of his mouth slightly. “Maybe. You must always have hope.”

The sky began to show a fish-belly white colour.

The drowsy people suddenly realized that they were slowly landing from the sky, and they lost all the drowsiness in an instant.

“The tentacles are gone! They’re really gone!”

“Great, we survived!”

“I thought I was doomed this time, but I didn’t expect that there would be a way out despite the mountains and rivers, and there would be a bright future in every village. My life should not be cut off!”

Joy was a highly contagious emotion. The previous gloom was swept away, and everyone’s mood lifted, like the rising sun clearing the clouds to reveal the sun.

Liu Jin’an smiled too, but when no one noticed, he quietly gave the tentacles tracking power.

With tracking, he could sense the location of the marked person within a ten-mile radius.

He did this just to make sure his guess was correct.

Back in the room, Liu Jin’an felt it, and his powers had indeed increased again.

Leaning on the edge of the bed, he closed his eyes and sensed the position of the tentacles he had marked with tracking.

After a while, he opened his eyes.

Found it.

.

Kyoto, No. 1 Hospital.

Kong Hongyun, the most authoritative orthopaedic expert in the country, hadn’t heard such an outrageous request from a patient all his lifetime.

“Mr. Duan, I must remind you that this is not a joke,” he said.

“Your legs were in a car accident and suffered comminated fractures.”

“Although you received treatment at the time and your recovery had been good in the past few years, replacing your damaged bones with metal requires cutting the healed wound open and removing the damaged bones. Finally, the bones need to be filled.”

“There’s no way you can bear this kind of pain!”

Duan Haiping remained stubborn. “I will not take anaesthesia, and I will bear all the consequences myself.”

“Nonsense!” Kong Hongyun couldn’t bear it. He had never seen such a stubborn person in his many years of work.

“If you don’t want to do it, then find someone else. I don’t believe that such a big hospital can’t find a doctor to operate on me.”

Duan Haiping’s persistence troubled Kong Hongyun.

The hospital had issued a death order, instructing orthopaedic surgeons to follow Duan Haiping’s requirements. It was said that Mr. Duan also had a lot of cooperation with the military.

Although Kong Hongyun was an internationally renowned orthopaedic expert, the current situation was so severe that even he had to obey orders from above to protect himself.

The powerful doctor, who had been proud of himself all his life, had to soften his tone when faced with Duan Haiping, who had no intention of relenting.

“Mr. Duan, may I ask why you refuse to accept anaesthesia?”

Duan Haiping was silent.

He didn’t actually mean to embarrass the doctor, but…

“I can take painkillers or local anaesthesia, but please don’t give me general anaesthesia.”

He was worried that after being under general anaesthesia, he wouldn’t be able to respond to Liu Jin’an’s call and be by his side when he needed it most.

“Local anaesthesia is fine,” Kong Hongyun sighed with relief. “But I still have to remind you that local anaesthesia can only relieve part of the pain. What you’ll have to face is a pain so severe that it’s like cramping and pulling out bones, which is unbearable for ordinary people.”

“I know, I know it all,” Duan Haiping urged impatiently. “Let’s start quickly.”

The operation began.

The anaesthesiologist followed Duan Haiping’s request and administered local anaesthesia to his legs.

The analgesic effect of the anaesthesia was limited. Even if Duan Haiping took two painkillers, he would still feel excruciating pain.

He could clearly see the scalpel cutting through his skin and the tweezers moving in and out of his flesh.

This was both a physical and psychological torture for anyone.

Not to mention Duan Haiping, even Kong Hongyun, the chief surgeon, was frightened at that moment.

Although his hands remained steady, and he had full confidence in his skills, he couldn’t help but worry about this strange patient.

“It might hurt a little, please bear with it.”

Kong Hongyun motioned to the nurse to wipe his sweat and couldn’t stop himself to say, “It’s still not too late for you to request general anaesthesia.”

“No need.”

Duan Haiping still flatly refused.

Kong Hongyun asked his assistant to bring a towel and stuffed it into Duan Haiping’s mouth.

The next moment, a sharp scalpel cut a channel along the skin and flesh, and a palm-sized rongeur clamped onto one end of the bone.

Half of the bone was pulled out from the flesh!

 

Note

Oh no, he shouldn’t have done this. That kind of pain is insane.
