Konoha: Rebooting Life of a Medical Ninja

Chapter 36: Mermaid swim together

There really isn't much to see on the bottom of the Broken Sea.

The volcanic eruption probably destroyed the ecosystem of the entire sea area hundreds of years ago, resulting in a gray seabed, fragmented stones everywhere, and only a few shellfish migrated here with the ocean currents, living tenaciously here. place.

Kong Kongyi directly wrapped Yi Zhicheng with an air bubble, and pushed him to wander on the bottom of the sea.

"Huh... Actually, it's much more comfortable in the water than on the shore~ The air on the shore always makes my lungs burn, I really miss the deep sea in my hometown~ the colorful coral sea and clown fish~" Kong Kongyi swims freely in the sea , the beautiful dark blue tail fin stretched in the water, like smooth silk.

"It's just that there are really too few delicious things. Every day there are shells, sea fish, sea fish shells... and the annoying killer whale. When I drank the first coconut, I decided not to go back."

"Why do you hate killer whales? The queen said that you are not afraid of any creatures." Yi Zhicheng was a little absent-minded, sitting cross-legged in the bubble with his eyes closed, casually catching a word in Kong Kongyi's words, and chatting perfunctorily.

"Because killer whales like to swear! They are rogues in the ocean. I saw a blue whale chased for hundreds of nautical miles after being scolded by a killer whale, just to slap it~ Hee hee hee! Kong Kongyi, who received the response, happily shared with Yi Zhicheng his knowledge of the seabed.

"Heh..." Yi Zhicheng also chuckled lightly.

"Actually, Master Cheng looks better when he smiles!" Kong Kongyi swam happily, picking up a few shells and putting them into the basket.

Yi Zhicheng also rested his cheeks and watched Kong Kongyi collect shells.

"Look, a starfish, it's rare to see starfish here! I'll decorate our house with them!" Kong Kongyi picked up the starfish and waved it in front of Yi Zhicheng.

"Then do you know how starfish eat?" Yi Zhicheng glanced at starfish.

"I don't know, I've never seen them eat." Kong Kongyi shook his head naively.

"You don't want to know." Yi Zhicheng smiled, starfish is like a spider, it will inject its own digestive enzymes into the body of its prey, dissolve their internal organs into soup, and then stick out a straw from its mouth to **** .

"Huh!" Kong Kongyi angrily stuffed the starfish into the bamboo basket and continued to pick up shells.

Yi Zhicheng also watched quietly, did not speak, said that he was out to relax, and was still thinking about how to solve the mermaid problem.

He has passed the first 15 days without any risk, using the surviving liver of the great elder to extract chakra and inject it into the seal of the heart, but it is definitely not a long-lasting method.

Just as he was thinking with his eyes closed, the gently swaying bubbles concentrated all his exhaustion at this moment, almost falling asleep, when suddenly Kong Kongyi cheered and woke him up: "Wow! Master Cheng, look at this is Kong Kongyi I will give you the gift you found as a reward for your hard work these days!"

"Hmm... Apart from SpongeBob SquarePants, there is nothing on the bottom of the sea that can satisfy me..." Yi Zhicheng opened his tired eyes, but saw Kong Kongyi holding a black crustacean in his hand, a little disappointed: "Crab Ah...it's rare... let's steam it tonight."

"It's not a crab. It's rare even in my hometown. Master Cheng must like it very much, because it's blue blood~" Kong Kongyi seems to have known Yi Zhicheng's character, he only treats the blood of creatures. and visceral interest.

"Blue blood? Is it horseshoe crab?" Yi Zhicheng lost all sleepiness and opened his eyes wide. Horseshoe crab is a good thing, a rare blue-blooded creature in the world.

"As expected, Master Cheng likes it very much!" Kong Kongyi looked at Yi Zhicheng's appearance, and also showed a warm smile.

"Well, the vast majority of biological blood in the world is made of iron ions. Only the blood of horseshoe crabs contains copper ions, so it is blue blood. After making it into a reagent, it can detect whether there is any bacterial infection in the living organism." Yi Zhicheng smiled. Playing with the smooth carapace of the horseshoe crab, it is as if a child has seen a beloved toy.

"Is it so useful... But there are too few here, and there are many in our hometown."

"It's okay, just take one and keep it as a collection." Yi Zhicheng smiled, ninjas rarely get sick, and it's useless if there are too many.

"Okay, I'll find a few more!" Kong Kongyi kept rummaging through the rubble, and found three after searching for more than half an hour.

Afterwards, the two of them returned to the shore. Kong Kongyi sucked in the dry air on the shore, coughed twice, and complained slightly: "I always feel that the air on the shore is so hot."

"Actually, the temperature in Broken Sea is already very cold. Let's go back and make the limulus reagent, and put the limulus back into the sea." Yi Zhicheng walked towards his temporary laboratory.

"Can horseshoe crabs still live?"

"Well, this is a very precious creature, a living fossil hundreds of millions of years old, so it should be well protected." Yi Zhicheng nodded.

Back in the laboratory, Yi Zhicheng took out a needle to pierce the pericardium of the horseshoe crab, and used a test tube to catch the blue blood that flowed out. After collecting a test tube, he immediately repaired the wound with the healing technique and put it aside.

"Can I try?" Kong Kongyi tentatively asked.

"Well, it's very simple, just pierce the pericardium of the horseshoe crab with a needle." Yi Zhicheng held her sharp fingertips and aimed at the horseshoe crab's chest.

With a small sound of Bu, a small hole was broken in the carapace, and blue blood as thick as blueberry juice flowed out. Kong Kongyi's little face flushed with excitement when Yi Zhicheng held his hand, and soon took a reagent bottle.

Yi Zhicheng took the horseshoe crab and completed the healing operation.

"Can I have a try? The test you said to check whether there are... bacteria in the blood?" Kong Kongyi really liked the feeling of doing experiments with Yi Zhicheng.

"Well, do it, I'll teach you." Yi Zhicheng nodded, stood together and taught her how to dilute horseshoe crab blood into a reagent, then sucked out her own blood with a dropper, dropped it into the reagent, and shook it.

Kong Kongyi completed the movements flawlessly, probably due to his careful observation during this period of time.

Yi Zhicheng nodded, quite satisfied, he was able to do this for the first time, very talented.

Kong Kongyi looked at the shaking test tube and exclaimed happily: "Wow! It really condensed! It's like cotton candy!"

"Hmm... blood and limulus reagent condense into flocs..." Yi Zhicheng suddenly widened his eyes, grabbed the reagent tube in Kong Kongyi's hand, stared at the congealed flocs inside and murmured, "Why? So, do you have bacteria in your blood?"

"I...I don't know..." Kong Kongyi thought he had done something wrong, so he took two steps back in fright.

"A low-power microscope can't see the existence of bacteria at all... Is it really infected by bacteria?" Yi Zhicheng murmured~www.novelmt.com~Suddenly thought of something, looked at Kong Kongyi: "You often Do you think the air on the shore is hot to breathe? Is it comfortable to breathe in the water?"

"Yeah...we are mermaids, of course it's comfortable to breathe in the sea." Kong Kongyi blinked.

Yi Zhicheng tapped his temple, thinking hard:

"I thought so too at first...but now I understand it a little bit. You have lived on the seabed for generations, and you will have no resistance to viruses and bacteria on the shore. In addition, there are fewer immune white blood cells in your natural blood, so you are infected on the shore. bacteria..."

"Of course, the mere bacteria won't kill the powerful mermaid, it just makes your lungs uncomfortable, and even you yourself think it's just an uncomfortable environment."

"But your immune organs feel that you are being hurt, so you constantly secrete mermaid cells to build a defense mechanism for you..."

"Perhaps my initial guess was inaccurate. It wasn't the environment that caused the immune organ to go wrong, but the bacteria on humans! You actually have some kind of respiratory disease, such as pneumonia!" Yi Zhicheng's tired eyes suddenly filled with radiance .

"Ah...that is to say, Master Cheng already has a way to change us back to our original appearance?" Although Kong Kongyi half understood what he heard, he could still see Yi Zhicheng's confidence.

"That's right! Now that we know the cause, curing the disease is nothing more than a trivial matter." Yi Zhicheng punched hard, showing a confident smile.

"Then what does Kong Kongyi need to do! I will definitely do it!"

"Moldy oranges, I need moldy oranges! If you don't have them, clothes with penicillium mold will do."

"Let's make penicillin next!"
