I'm trapped in a cube

"Not enough! Not enough!"

There are more and more ring tumors above the sea of ​​fire, and Doctor Liu's movements are getting faster and faster.

The scalpel cut through the rough skin, cut through the thick fat, opened up the muscles and nerves, and made a clearly visible scratch on the periosteum. The scratch suddenly moved and scratched towards the edge.

In the blink of an eye, the wound disappeared again, and the ring tumor in the sky became shaky and fell into the sea of ​​fire.

Dr. Liu gritted his teeth and looked at the ring-shaped shadows above the sea of ​​fire.

"Not enough."

The pain came so frequently and disappeared so easily that he had problems with the feeling of pain. Sometimes the wound was clearly there, but he didn't feel any pain. Sometimes it was clear that the wound had been transferred, but there was still severe pain. But it came suddenly.

At the same time, intense sleepiness flooded into his mind, and the fire was burning, and Dr. Liu's mouth became dry.

He opened his mouth, and a crack appeared on his lips because they were too dry. Dr. Liu picked up the scalpel and cut open his mouth. Then, the wound disappeared in an instant.

After the wound recovered, there was some numbness, and the vague pain took over everything.

"Now, I don't feel thirsty anymore..."

The wound can be transferred, but the blood will not disappear. Dr. Liu's whole body was covered in blood stains, like a demon walking out of the sea of ​​blood, but despite bleeding so much, he did not feel any symptoms of anemia.

A black cloud rose above the sea of ​​​​fire. If you look carefully, you will realize that they are actually ring-shaped ring tumors. They are crowded together and pouring towards the sea of ​​​​fire.

The flames kept burning these terrible creatures, but they kept replicating, more and more.

The charcoal, the earth, the ruins... everything has become a seedbed for their replication, and even the flames soaring into the sky cannot stop their progress.

"Too slow."

No matter how fast the scalpel is swung, it cannot stop the approach of these ring tumors.

Dr. Liu stood in front of the sea of ​​fire, the scalpel in his hand trembling.

He turned his head and looked at the tall buildings.

Everything behind him was so calm, just like it was before the disaster broke out. If it hadn't been for the arrival of the abyss, he might be in that building now, eating dinner with his family, but now...

Dr. Liu shook his head to get rid of all his random thoughts, and looked firmly ahead again.

He may be the only person standing between doomsday and peace.

There has been no movement from teammates for a long time. The fire is getting stronger and stronger, and the black clouds are floating higher and higher.

Dr. Liu sighed, stopped cutting himself with the scalpel, and walked forward slowly.

He has experimented before and found that non-living injuries cannot be transferred. Perhaps in the eyes of this relic, it cannot be called an "injury" at all.

Therefore, the only way to cause harm now is to harm yourself.

As Dr. Liu walked forward, he broke off a few more pills and swallowed them.

The speed of the scalpel was too slow. Even if he was determined to hurt himself, he would not have time to stop the spreading ring tumors.

The dark clouds are getting closer and closer, and there is only one way...

Dr. Liu took a deep breath and stepped into the sea of ​​fire.

"Since knife wounds can be transferred, burns must also be transferable!"

The scorching flame instantly climbed up Dr. Liu's body.

"Ah!" He couldn't help but cry out in pain. Under the influence of instinct, he couldn't help but retreat backwards, but he settled down and forced his head up to look at the black clouds above.

"Transfer! Transfer!"

In an instant, the black cloud suddenly burst into flames.

"Sure enough."

Dr. Liu's body recovered again, the burned skin nerves returned to their original functions, and the pain struck again.

"ah!"

He couldn't control it again and let out a howl. At this time, the clothes and hair on his body had been completely burned. The dried skin was exposed to the flames, and the slightest breeze would cause terrible pain.

The soles of his feet felt like they were stepping on a needle board, and the heart-wrenching pain instantly penetrated from the recovering nerves into Dr. Liu's brain.

"It hurts! It hurts! It hurts!"

Dr. Liu picked up the red-hot scalpel, inserted it into his own eye, and then stirred it wildly.

As long as you smash your brain, it won't hurt...

"Transfer! Transfer!"

His consciousness suddenly became clear again, and the wounds on his brain were transferred.

However, the flames began to burn again, and another wave of pain hit.

At this time, Dr. Liu only had one thought in mind: continue!

He held the scalpel inserted in his eye again and stirred it...

The black clouds in the sky were burning more and more fiercely. Not only that, the ring tumors were also shattered by some invisible attack. Some of the originally condensed black clouds were swallowed up.

The firelight obscured Dr. Liu's only intact eye. He could only vaguely see the black clouds above, but his burnt mouth still kept mumbling:

"Transfer! Transfer!"

"You can't let them pass!"

The scalpel kept stirring his brain, and Dr. Liu's consciousness was completely blurred. He was only controlling himself based on instinct.

In the diffuse firelight, Dr. Liu seemed to see his teammates.

The soldier from before limped to his side, held his hand, and helped him crush his brain.

Some teammates climbed behind him and hugged his legs, allowing him to stand firmly on the needle-like ground.

Other teammates held his chin and helped him raise his head to look at the dark clouds in the sky.

More and more teammates fixed Dr. Liu's body, allowing him to stand in the sea of ​​fire.

At this moment, Dr. Liu felt so relaxed.

He didn't need any strength to stand firmly, he just needed to concentrate on transferring his wounds.

The captain also came to his side, letting the sea of ​​fire burn more and more, and then walked in front of him and hugged him.

"Does it hurt?" The captain asked softly.

"It hurts! It hurts!" Dr. Liu's tears flowed from the corners of his eyes, and were instantly evaporated by the flames.

"It's okay, we are here." The captain leaned over his ear and whispered to comfort him.

"I'm just a doctor, why should I fight..." Dr. Liu could no longer control his inner grievances, and cried, "I became a doctor because I was afraid of pain..."

"Captain, aren't you afraid? Don't you feel pain?"

"I'm afraid too, and I feel pain too..." The captain replied indifferently, his voice trembling.

"Then why did you all rush in! I was the only one left! I should have run away earlier! Why do I have to fight? Why do I have to be like you?"

Faced with Dr. Liu's questioning, the captain said nothing, but patted him on the back gently.

"For everything behind you."

The captain raised his head gently, as if looking at Dr. Liu's back:

Blue sky, white clouds, grass, green trees, tall buildings...

Dreams, peace, home, life, humanity...
