Attack of the Residents (3)
The first basement floor was filled with acrid smoke.
It was difficult to see an inch in front of me, and my body was hot from the heat gathering around me.
Shoot aaaah.
A sprinkler on the ceiling sprayed a pitiful stream of water, but it was like watering a drought-stricken rice field with a watering can.
‘This is no problem.’
Even though he jumped into the fire, Choi Ki-seok’s mentality was as strong as steel. He had a rare fraud item called Immortal Carlisle.
As long as Carlisle is around, there will be no deaths due to unexpected accidents.
[Immortal Carlisle]
– Dying? This can never happen to me. Even if the world falls apart, this body will always be there.
– Immortal effect: Equipping an item allows you to avoid the risk of death once. It applies to disasters or external events and does not apply to diseases.
According to the explanation, fire is also included in the immortal effect.
The reason why he rushed to the scene of the fire despite the opposition from those around him.
That’s because of Carlisle’s existence.
Choi Ki-seok lowered himself as low as possible, covered his nose and mouth with a wet handkerchief, and advanced.
The gas released from the fire is carbon monoxide.
They are lighter than air, so lowering yourself lower reduces the risk of suffocation.
‘shit! ‘I don’t have time.’
Contrary to my nervousness, the pace of moving forward was slow.
How long can Jenny, who is still young, survive in this situation?
Perhaps I have already set off on a path of no return.
My heart became frustrated at that thought.
Choi Ki-seok barely got his mind together and passed through the guest room hallway. Then, as the smoke moved, the number 110 nameplate next to the door caught my eye.
Considering the structure of the room, room 120 would be located at the end of the passage right next to it.
“Is there anyone who could not escape?”
Choi Ki-seok moved to room 120, making a loud noise on purpose.
If there is someone who hasn’t escaped yet, I plan to rescue them together. But his cries were drowned out by the sound of the burning fire and were scattered in vain.
thud! thud! thud!
“Jane. I’m a teacher. “Are you inside?”
I knocked on the door with my fist, but there was no answer.
I turned the handle with an ominous feeling, but it didn’t budge.
To make matters worse, it looks like they locked the door from the inside.
[You have used Descent of the Tyrant. Strength and agility temporarily increase significantly.]
After using the skill, Choi Ki-seok stood with his back straightened and placed an appropriate distance between himself and the door.
The moment you need door breaching to break down the door.
I took one step, two steps, and then kicked the door with my entire body weight.
Whoa whoa.
The door creaked and shook under his blow.
‘Once more!’
Choi Ki-seok kicked the same spot in the same way.
Baaaaaaaa! Coooooo!
With a dull sound, the door fell backwards like a huge tree.
Although the door was locked, the inside of the room was not much different from the outside. Toxic gas leaked through a crack in the door, filling the room with gray smoke.
“Je…cough cluck.”
Choi Ki-seok coughed and swayed.
While breaking down the door, I breathed incorrectly and inhaled some of the toxic gas.
For a moment, I lost consciousness and my arms and legs lost strength.
If she loses her mind like this, Jane might die.
Even if he had Carlisle and could be rescued by a rescue team.
“Jane! Jane!”
Choi Ki-seok lowered himself again and walked around the interior of the room.
There was a lot of black smoke blocking my view, and it wasn’t a big fuss, but I held on.
But at that very moment.
I heard the door screeching.
When I turned my head, I saw Jane sticking her head out through the crack in the bathroom door.
Jane was lying flat on the floor, looking at Choi Ki-seok.
If you see that your eyes are blurry, it looks like you have inhaled gas.
“Jane!”
Choi Ki-seok approached Jane and covered the child’s nose and mouth with a wet handkerchief. Then, Jane and I left the guest room and went out into the hallway.
‘thank god.’
Jane’s information comes to mind when she uses the Eye of Hippocrates.
Jane had no other problems except that she had some difficulty breathing.
“The teacher is here, so you don’t have to worry. Understand?”
Jane nodded her head with difficulty at Choi Ki-seok’s words.
Eventually, the fire escape resumed.
While moving, Choi Ki-seok’s face turned blue.
By giving Jane a wet handkerchief, she inhaled the toxic gas instead. I was dazed by the gas, but I woke up by pinching my thigh.
If you stop here, Jane will be in danger.
I didn’t even have the decency to see Jenny.
Tuk!
I was halfway through the hallway when something caught my toe.
A large man was lying on the floor. It seems he lost consciousness after inhaling gas while trying to escape.
As Hippocrates looked at the man, his condition appeared to be an emergency.
If you leave this person behind, he will die.
As that thought crossed my mind, my steps stopped abruptly.
‘Why…’
The man was so large that he weighed over 100 kilograms, so it was difficult to carry him or carry him on his back.
Because there was a tyrant coming, there was no problem with the power aspect.
However, it was obvious that if you stood up straight, you would inhale a large amount of toxic gas.
What should I do now?
Should I pretend not to know the man, rescue Jane, and escape?
Is there really no way to save both of them?
“Cough. Cough.”
As her worries deepened, Jane coughed.
The moisture on the handkerchief had already dried due to the increasing heat.
There is no time.
If you don’t make a decision, both of you will die right here.
“Jane. “Lie down on this old man’s stomach.”
Jane did not respond to Choi Ki-seok’s words. The condition has worsened to the point where it is impossible to react.
Choi Ki-seok had no choice but to lay Jane down on the man’s stomach.
He took a deep breath and straightened his back. Then he grabbed the man’s arm and started dragging him.
Ride, ride, ride.
My walking pace became noticeably faster.
The agility amplified by the tyrant’s descent was shining.
“Whoaaa!”
Choi Ki-seok gasped as he left the entrance, and the passengers and staff around him looked at him with surprised rabbit eyes.
“Dr. Choi. “How did this happen?”
“….”
Choi Ki-seok couldn’t answer and just lay down on the floor.
“Jane! “Are you safe?”
Jenny, who found Jane, ran over to her and hugged her in her arms.
“Jane… Jane is not in critical condition… If she rests well… she will be fine.”
“thank you. teacher! Hehehehehe.”
Jenny sobbed and burst into tears.
Meanwhile, rescue workers wearing firefighting suits rushed to the scene of the fire, carrying fire hoses and fire extinguishers.
“Mr. Choi. are you okay?”
Leon approached Choi Ki-seok and looked worried.
Choi Ki-seok’s current state was beyond words.
The gown, which was originally pure white, was stained pitch black with ash and soot.
His bangs hung down like wet seaweed, and his expression was as weak as that of a dying person.
“I heard the whole story. Like a fool. Why would you do such a reckless thing….”
“Gwa… It’s okay. “I did it because it was all worth it.”
Choi Ki-seok showed a difficult smile and used the Pain Killer skill on himself.
Hehehe.
A green glow emanating from the body.
As the glow disappeared, the dizziness and vomiting caused by the toxic gas subsided.
Jane was saved, but there was still work to be done.
“Leon. “Could you please take care of the first aid kit?”
“I leave the treatment to other staff. “Because there is also an emergency medicine teacher.”
“Thoracic surgery patients should be seen at the thoracic surgery department.”
“really. “I can’t stop you.”
Choi Ki-seok received a first aid kit from Leon and took a seat next to the man he and Jane had rescued.
The man suffered from second-degree burns and pneumothorax on his arm, difficulty breathing due to inhalation of toxic gas.
They only escaped from the fire scene, but the fact that it was an emergency did not change.
“Leon. “Can you please open the patient’s mouth?”
“all right.”
Ki-Seok Choi, with Leon’s help, freed the dried tongue that was blocking his airway.
The majority of airway obstructions in unconscious patients are caused by a curled tongue.
Tdu-duk-duk.
After securing the airway, the patient’s trachea was intubated and 100% oxygen was supplied. Afterwards, an ice pack was applied to the patient’s burned area and a first aid kit was used to raise the patient’s legs higher than the head.
Followed by thoracocentesis.
Ki-Seok Choi sat the patient down with Leon’s help. Then, I disinfected the area to be punctured and held the syringe in my hand.
Fuuuuuck!
The needle pierced the skin without hesitation.
When he pulled the syringe, yellowish exudate filled the body of the syringe.
‘Is there still something missing?’
After finishing the treatment, Choi Ki-seok looked at the patient and frowned.
Despite everything that could be done, the patient’s condition is still poor.
why?
I thought it was strange, so I used the Eye of Hippocrates again on the patient. Then, bronchitis and bronchoconstriction that had not existed before appeared.
It is a disease caused by inhalation of toxic gas.
“Leon! “Even though there is a patient here with a headache, please look after the patient here.”
“Go and see. Leon. “I will take care of this patient.”
“sorry.”
After Leon left, Ki-Seok Choi and Sylvia, a thoracic surgery nurse, moved the patient to the thoracic surgery treatment room.
“Dr. Choi. “What should we do with this patient?”
“First, get an intravenous line and then connect a saline solution. “Then give codeine and IV atropine, and finally prepare for a bronchoscopy.”
“Why a bronchoscopy?”
Sylvia tilted her head as if she was surprised.
“I think I’m probably inhaling a lot of toxic gas. “It would be a good idea to do a bronchial lavage.”
“Do you know how to use an endoscope?”
“of course.”
Choi Ki-seok smiled as if telling him not to worry.
As the medication progressed, the patient’s condition went down one level.
It dropped from emergency to defective level.
“I’m ready.”
“I’ll start right away.”
Choi Ki-seok localized the patient’s neck with an inhalant and then pushed the endoscope into the patient’s mouth.
Eventually, the endoscope that passed through the trachea output an image.
“The bronchi are definitely swollen a lot and the alveoli are contracted.”
“Is the saline solution ready?”
“yes.”
Ki-Seok Choi performed alveolar lavage while observing the monitor.
Cheeeeeeeek.
The saline solution that flowed from the endoscopic device thoroughly washed away the area where degeneration had occurred.
Continued thorough cleaning.
After completing the treatment and examining the patient with the eyes of Hippocrates, his condition returned to good.
This is evidence that the alveolar lavage procedure was chosen correctly.
“thank you for your effort. Doctor Choi. “The endoscopy and alveolar lavage were perfect?”
“Silvia’s assistant was also perfect.”
“is that so?”
There was warmth in their gazes toward each other.
“Let’s go back to the scene. “I think there are a lot of people who will need thoracic surgery.”
“yes. great.”
Ki-Seok Choi took the lead, followed by Sylvia.
‘The more I look at him, the more fascinating he is.’
Sylvia couldn’t help but be amazed as she watched Choi Ki-seok’s back.
He has been the center of numerous incidents since his Meijo training days. What is surprising is that Choi Ki-seok has always handled all issues perfectly at the center.
It was like that just today.
Even though he recklessly rushed to the scene of the fire, he successfully saved people and escaped.
The subsequent treatment of the patient was also flawless.
It seemed like there was no doctor in training like this anywhere in the world.
‘How far can Dr. Choi grow?’
With that in mind, Sylvia moved to the scene.
