Chapter 594: Chapter 595: Death Qi Permeates the Bloodstream

Ye Qiu was cultivating when suddenly his cellphone on the computer desk began to ring; opening his eyes, he woke up and took a look at the phone, discovering that it was a call from Zhu Zhiming.

Surprised, Ye Qiu wondered, what could this plump kid possibly want in the middle of the night?

"Zhu Zhiming, what’s the matter?"

"Ye Qiu, this is Zhu Zhiming’s father, he’s had an accident."

Zhu Zhiming’s father said in a very anxious tone.

"Uncle, what happened to Little Pig?"

"I don’t know either. Half an hour ago, he collapsed in a pool of blood in his room, his body covered in blood. We’ve brought him to the hospital for treatment, but the blood pouring out is black, and the doctors are unable to treat him, as they can’t figure out what exactly is the problem?"

Covered in blood?

The blood is black?

"Uncle, which hospital is he in?"

"He’s here at Jiangbei First People’s Hospital."

"I’ll be there immediately!"

Ye Qiu quickly dressed, grabbed his cellphone and car keys, and hurried down from upstairs.

It struck him as odd since that evening he had been teaming up with Zhu Zhiming and Li Shen, battling monsters and grinding for experience to level up, only for an accident to occur now.

Getting into his car, Ye Qiu drove out of Peach Blossom Source Residential Area and sped towards Jiangbei First People’s Hospital as fast as he could.

Normally, at a regular pace, it might take a little over an hour.

But now, in less than twenty minutes, Ye Qiu had already arrived at the entrance of Jiangbei First People’s Hospital.

He had been speeding all the way, running red lights, all because he feared something might go terribly wrong with Zhu Zhiming. Now that he had arrived at the First People’s Hospital, he made a drifting stop in the parking lot at the entrance, turned off the engine, got out of the car without even locking the door, and rushed into Jiangbei First People’s Hospital.

Once inside, Ye Qiu called Zhu Zhiming’s cellphone number; after the call connected, Ye Qiu said, "Uncle, I’m at the hospital entrance."

Zhu Zhiming’s parents didn’t expect Ye Qiu to arrive so quickly. They thought it would take him at least an hour, but he had reached in only half the time.

Zhu Yulin, Zhu Zhiming’s father, hurried out and saw Ye Qiu at the front desk.

"Ye Qiu, you’ve finally arrived."

Ye Qiu quickly followed Zhu Yulin to the critical care ward.

Zhu Zhiming was in the emergency room, where after being examined and tested by emergency physicians and other doctors and finding they were unable to treat him, Zhu Yulin thought of Ye Qiu and promptly notified him to come.

"How could this have happened to him?"

"I also don’t know clearly. His mother and I were watching TV downstairs when suddenly we heard Little Pig shout. Then by the time we went up, we found the door locked with screams coming from inside. I kicked the door open and saw him like that."

Ye Qiu still didn’t know how Zhu Zhiming could have ended up like this?

Hastily following Zhu Yulin to the critical care ward and upon entering, he saw Zhu Zhiming lying on the hospital bed, barely hanging on, with black, foul-smelling blood oozing from several of his meridians.

As long as Zhu Zhiming still had a breath, Ye Qiu wouldn’t worry.

But now, given Zhu Zhiming’s condition, he feared death was not far away.

As he got closer to Zhu Zhiming, Ye Qiu was shocked to find that he could actually smell a scent of death!

Certainly!

It was a deathly aura!

This deathly aura wasn’t very strong, but he clearly smelled it; it was almost the same as the situation when that undead afflicted Zhao Rubing with injuries.

Last time, Ye Qiu had already cremated that undead, so how could it appear again?

When Ye Qiu examined Zhu Zhiming, he found blood flowing from multiple vessels throughout his body except for the main artery on his neck, which explained why Zhu Yulin and his wife initially found Zhu Zhiming covered in blood.

Several bloody handprints were also visible on Zhu Zhiming’s back.

Initially, Ye Qiu thought it was the work of a living person, but now that he smelled that deathly aura, he knew it definitely wasn’t caused by a living person, but a dead one!

Could the dead also kill?

If it hadn’t been for that encounter with the undead, even Zhao Ruxue might not have believed it.

Now Ye Qiu understood why the blood flowing from Zhu Zhiming’s vessels was black and putrid; it was surely related to the deathly aura that had seeped into Zhu Zhiming’s body.

"Ye Qiu, how is it?"

Zhu Yulin asked.

"Yes, how is Xiaozhu? Don’t scare me!"

Zhu Zhiming’s mother, Li Meizhen, inquired.

"Uncle, Auntie, don’t worry, with me here, nothing will happen to Xiaozhu!"

Now, Ye Qiu wasn’t worried about Zhu Zhiming, but rather who had injured Zhu Zhiming to such an extent. Clearly, the perpetrator was after Zhu Zhiming’s life.

For now, Ye Qiu could only save Zhu Zhiming first, then ask him what exactly had happened.

"Uncle, Auntie, please step outside. I’m going to treat Xiaozhu; he’ll be fine very soon."

Zhu Yulin and his wife, along with the doctor, went outside the sickroom.

After closing the door, Ye Qiu knew that with the deathly aura having permeated Zhu Zhiming’s body, if he didn’t completely absorb the deathly aura, it would infiltrate every part of Zhu Zhiming, including his internal organs and even his brain. Then, Zhu Zhiming might become a real dead person.

First, Ye Qiu absorbed all the deathly aura from Zhu Zhiming’s body.

About fifteen minutes later, Ye Qiu stopped. The deathly aura on Zhu Zhiming had been absorbed by him, and the fresh blood flowing from his veins was no longer the black, putrid-smelling kind, but had turned back to its original crimson.

The previously unstoppable bleeding had now gradually ceased, and under Ye Qiu’s treatment, the wounds slowly healed and then slowly vanished.

Still, Zhu Zhiming’s face had turned somewhat pale due to the excessive blood loss. Ideally, he should receive a blood transfusion of the same blood type.

"Uncle, Auntie, Xiaozhu is temporarily out of danger now, but he has lost a lot of blood. He still needs to receive a transfusion for the time being!"

The doctor and the nurse next to them were amazed.

Although they had heard of Ye Qiu’s extraordinary medical skills, they had not expected them to be this remarkable. When they entered, they noticed a complete difference in Zhu Zhiming compared to before, with significant changes on the medical equipment, including the ECG, indicating that Zhu Zhiming had safely passed the critical phase.

While the nurse was preparing the blood transfusion for Zhu Zhiming, the attending doctor asked, "Doctor Ye, what was the patient’s condition just now?"

He had heard that it’s very difficult to stop the bleeding for patients with hemophilia because they lack a certain coagulation factor, which leads to impaired bleeding and clotting functions.

However, the condition of this patient was not only difficult to coagulate but the blood was also black and putrid, which he had never witnessed firsthand before.

"He was contaminated with something that had infiltrated his bloodstream, but I’ve just thoroughly cleared it out."

Ye Qiu didn’t mention the undead’s deathly aura because if he did, the attending doctor wouldn’t believe it. Yet, when Ye Qiu spoke in such a way, the attending doctor did believe him, feeling sure that something had permeated the patient’s bloodstream to cause that condition.
