Luo Tao, Doctor Luo, was forty-three years old this year, originally a chief surgeon at a tertiary hospital in Rong City.

Before the apocalypse, Doctor Luo was quite respected, having a very harmonious family. His wife was his university classmate and now worked as a teacher at a certain university.

His career was smooth, his family harmonious.

Additionally, over so many years, whether in medical ethics or personal character, Doctor Luo had no aspects worthy of criticism, thus he enjoyed a very good reputation within the hospital.

Apart from being somewhat busy with work, his life was almost without any regrets.

But... the arrival of the apocalypse had changed many people's life trajectories, including this respected doctor.

The city filled with various Anomalies had made everyone panic.

Doctor Luo fled Rong City with his wife.

Relying on his identity as a doctor, Doctor Luo successfully joined a team planning to leave Rong City.

But before they had gone far, Doctor Luo was brought to Second Elementary School.

Coming to this elementary school, everything was fine.

No need to worry about Anomaly attacks, nor about food problems.

As long as they moved within the range designated by the Vice-Bishops, there generally wouldn't be any danger.

Luo Tao had seen the Death God of the church, a "god" that left a deep impression on him.

The "god" protected their safety, and Luo Tao was truly grateful for her existence.

The only pity was that his skills were no longer useful.

The Death God Church had a miraculous potion; drinking this potion would magically cure various illnesses and pains for ordinary people.

Therefore, Doctor Luo's medical skills became useless.

He was now just the most ordinary person among the survivors.

The only thing that made Doctor Luo feel relaxed during the apocalypse was not having those endless surgeries.

This actually gave Doctor Luo rare rest time.

But when he returned today, his wife brought back a message: a Sequence Superhuman wanted to invite him to perform a surgery, with the reward being a thirty-liter barrel of gasoline.

Hearing this news, Doctor Luo was somewhat shocked.

That was a whole barrel of gasoline! Even if he couldn't use it himself, he could trade it with others for some good things.

"Hui Hui, are you telling the truth?"

"Would I lie to you? That vixen Xu Lina told me!"

"Her?"

"What? Just mentioning that slut, has your soul flown away?"

His wife was somewhat displeased.

Since this Xu Lina arrived, it seemed like the souls of all the followers in the entire church had flown away.

How many men wished their eyeballs could stick to that vixen every day.

"No, how could that be, Hui Hui, don't talk nonsense. We've been together so many years, don't you know what kind of person I am?"

...

"Iron Lion, right now the only one I can trust is you!"

"If that doctor shows any sign of something wrong, you...!"

Chen Ye made a throat-slitting gesture, his eyes fierce and sinister.

Iron Lion hesitated and said in his simple-minded voice, "Yezi, that can't be right. I know the person you're talking about, he's a very good person, I..."

"Iron Lion, you can know a person's face but not their heart. Do you really want to watch your brother get hurt?"

"As long as he performs the surgery properly for me and doesn't play tricks, I won't give him any trouble."

"I'm even giving him gasoline."

"I asked you here just to scare people a bit! To make sure he doesn't try any tricks!"

"I really don't want to do anything!"

"Really!"

"Besides, brother, do I look like a bad person to you?"

Iron Lion looked seriously at Chen Ye, and after a long while said in a muffled voice, "Yes!"

Chen Ye: "..."

After sending Xu Lina to invite the person, Chen Ye had Iron Lion come.

There was no other way—in this entire school, Chen Ye could only barely trust Iron Lion.

Actually, Chen Ye didn't trust anyone.

But... Chen Ye had no better options.

That's why he invited Iron Lion over.

Chen Ye and Chu Che shared the same thought: in three days, Wu Jianshan would definitely make his move.

Wu Jianshan, this once extremely close brother, was no longer the person he used to be.

Within these three days, strengthening his own power by any means possible was the way to go.

Even if he couldn't make the Blood Eye exert its full power, it would still provide some assistance.

For this reason, Chen Ye had to hastily make this decision.

Of course, Chen Ye would prefer to believe he guessed wrong.

Iron Lion hesitated for a long time before saying, "Then... alright!"

Just after Iron Lion agreed, the classroom door was pushed open from outside.

Xu Lina brought Doctor Luo and his wife.

Although not quite understanding why he needed to bring his wife along, Doctor Luo didn't think too much about it and followed Xu Lina.

This classroom was specifically cleared out by Chen Ye through Iron Lion. Now that Iron Lion was considered a Vice-Bishop of the Death God Church, he had that much authority.

Of course, Chen Ye didn't have Iron Lion tell anyone else about this matter.

When Doctor Luo and his wife saw two people sitting under the dim classroom lights, they were momentarily stunned.

Xu Lina smilingly introduced Chen Ye and Iron Lion to Doctor Luo.

Iron Lion and the others hadn't joined the Death God Church for long, so naturally Doctor Luo didn't know about Iron Lion's new identity.

Only a few key members within the church knew their identities.

All of this would wait until after the sacrificial ceremony for Wu Jianshan to announce Iron Lion and the others' identities to all followers.

Of course, that's what Wu Jianshan said!

Seeing the situation in the classroom, Doctor Luo was somewhat bewildered.

He thought the Superhuman inviting him for surgery would have made thorough preparations.

After all, since they were Superhumans, they should easily be able to obtain necessary supplies and conditions from hospitals.

But the scene was extremely crude.

It was just a very ordinary classroom, with no surgical knives, no shadowless lamps, nothing at all. 𝙛𝒓𝓮𝒆𝔀𝒆𝙗𝓷𝒐𝙫𝒆𝙡.𝒄𝓸𝓶

Only some... tools? placed in a basin nearby.

This was simply...

"Doctor Luo, hello, I'm Chen Ye. I'm the one inviting you for the surgery!"

"Mr. Chen, you plan to perform the surgery here?"

"Given the current situation, it has to be this way!"

Doctor Luo repeatedly shook his head: "Impossible, Mr. Chen. This place completely lacks the environment for surgery. I advise you to abandon this idea."

"Those plots in TV shows are all fabricated nonsense, completely impossible to realize!"

Doctor Luo thought Chen Ye intended to imitate those TV drama or movie plots, having him perform surgery in such conditions.

It was simply a joke, ridiculous!

Therefore, Doctor Luo didn't even ask what Chen Ye wanted him to do before starting to refuse.

Indeed, many TV dramas and movies had similar scenarios.

Chen Ye couldn't be bothered to argue with him and directly gave Iron Lion a signal.

Iron Lion hesitated for a moment, then grabbed the woman beside Doctor Luo.

"You... what are you doing?"

"Mr. Wu, Mr. Chen, let go of my wife? What do you want to do?"

Both Doctor Luo and his wife panicked.

But they were completely unable to resist Iron Lion.

Iron Lion grabbing a woman was like an eagle grabbing a chick.

"Doctor Luo, don't be nervous. I have no bias toward any profession! I only have bias toward people's moral standards."

"But unfortunately, many people in this world lack morality!"

"As long as you properly perform the surgery for me, follow my requirements, both you and your wife will be completely safe, and you'll even receive the reward I promised earlier."

"You..."

Doctor Luo became furious. Who would have thought they'd encounter such a situation.

"Mr. Chen, let go of my wife. I refuse this surgery, let us leave!"

"Hehe... Doctor Luo, think carefully!"

Chen Ye looked threateningly at Doctor Luo.

Doctor Luo glared angrily at Chen Ye.

Xu Lina stepped forward at this moment and said softly, "Doctor Luo, this Mr. Chen always keeps his word. As long as you properly perform the surgery, there will only be benefits for you, no harm!"

"Besides, you don't really have a choice now."

"Doctor Luo..."

Whether it was Xu Lina's soft persuasion that worked, or Chen Ye's increasingly dangerous gaze.

Finally, Doctor Luo softened.

"Alright then, I... I agree, you... I hope you keep your promise!"

"Of course!"

"What do you need me to do?"

Chen Ye took out his eyeball. At this point, the eyeball had already been soaked in a glass bottle according to the System's guidance, the bottle filled with diluted blood tears.

According to the System, doing this helped improve the eyeball's vitality.

And now, this previously somewhat withered eyeball had grown several nerves, looking rather disgusting.

"Doctor Luo, I need you to..."

After hearing what Chen Ye said, Doctor Luo felt cold sweat break out all over his body.

"This... is absolutely impossible... this eye..."

"Doctor Luo, you don't need your own opinions, just follow my requirements. Here are the operation instructions, take a look first..."

Chen Ye directly wrote out the detailed eye replacement operation instructions given by the System and handed them to Doctor Luo.

Half an hour later, Doctor Luo looked up, both apprehensive and shocked.

These eye replacement instructions weren't meant for ordinary people.

Many contents within exceeded the scope of Doctor Luo's knowledge.

This thing simply couldn't be used on ordinary people.

If the other party was a Superhuman...

Doctor Luo didn't know what would happen either, but for now he could only proceed.

The surgery began...

Chen Ye lay on a bed made from several desks, a machete held by a willow branch dangling above Doctor Luo's head.

Seeing this scene, Doctor Luo felt his legs trembling, with cold sweat breaking out on his back.

He understood that if he did anything wrong, this machete would be the weapon that killed him.
