NOVPUBIt turned out it wasn’t that there was no pain, but that he had completely lost sensation!
Upon realizing this, Wu Bin was totally panicked.
This is just too crazy, right!
All he did was touch Xiao Hu’s shoe; could he really have caught athlete’s foot from that?
When Wu Bin said his foot had no sensation, Yang Kang also panicked.
He immediately ran to find the cruise ship staff, and within a short while, several South Korean doctors with medical kits hurried over.
These doctors were permanently stationed on the cruise ship.
Having been on the cruise ship for many years, what situation hadn’t they seen?
However, when they saw Wu Bin’s right foot, they all fell silent.
"How did this happen? Why is the swelling so severe?"
In just a few minutes, Wu Bin’s right foot had swelled up significantly, almost turning into a bear’s paw.
Just as the doctors were about to intervene, Yang Kang explained the whole story.
Upon hearing this, the doctors immediately stopped, silently put on gloves and masks, and also sprayed some alcohol to disinfect.
"Who is Xiao Hu?" Doctor Park Changjun asked.
Xiao Hu raised his hand.
"I am."
Park Changjun told the other two medical staff, "Take him back to his room for isolation, do not let him contact anyone else, and definitely keep him out of the pool."
"Yes, Doctor Park."
"What? No, why are you isolating me? Let go of me, I want to complain about you!"
No matter how much Xiao Hu shouted, the two South Korean medical staff just wouldn’t listen and directly carried him to his room.
They had no choice, Xiao Hu’s pathogenicity was simply too strong; they had to isolate him for the safety of the other passengers on the cruise ship.
After taking Xiao Hu away, the doctors immediately started examining Wu Bin’s foot closely.
"This must be a fungal infection, right? Only a fungal infection could react this quickly."
"It does look like a fungal infection, but this onset is too severe, look, parts of his toes have even turned black."
"We should rush him to the infirmary and give him a thorough check-up; I think his condition is a bit special."
After discussing, the South Korean doctors decided to immediately take Wu Bin to the infirmary.
They called for a wheelchair and then personally pushed Wu Bin away.
The netizens in the live broadcast room saw this scene and burst into laughter.
"Hahaha, what kind of international joke is this? He merely touched a slipper and now he’s in a wheelchair?"
"My Wu always ends up in the hospital in the most unexpected ways, awesome!"
"I’ve gotta ask, is a fungal infection really that terrifying? It scared me enough to go wash my feet right away."
"So, does that mean Xiao Hu is actually tougher than Wu? After all, his feet are always sweaty in his sports shoes, and nothing happens, but Wu just touched his slipper and got infected."
Seeing Wu Bin being wheeled into the infirmary, Yang Kang was the most anxious.
Taking Wu Bin out this time, his heart had been in turmoil.
After all, as a fragile university student, his biggest worry was that something might happen to Wu Bin on the way, and then he would have a hard time explaining to Xu Wenyao.
Because of this, Yang Kang had prepared many contingency plans before departure, even learning how to rescue someone from water and getting certified.
It was all so he could jump in and save Wu Bin if he accidentally fell into the water.
But who could have predicted that Wu Bin would get infected by athlete’s foot?
The craziest part is, just an infection of athlete’s foot, and he lost sensation in his leg?
Yang Kang couldn’t understand and was deeply shocked.
After Wu Bin was wheeled into the medical room, everyone looked at his leg again and was once again deeply shocked.
In just a few minutes, Wu Bin’s calf had also started to swell!
And the blue veins on Wu Bin’s calf bulged one by one, twisting and coiling on the surface of the skin, as if they were about to break through.
This visual effect was very shocking.
And finally, at this point, Wu Bin started to feel sensation as well.
"Damn, it’s so itchy!"
Wu Bin’s right leg suddenly regained sensation and then felt an unbearable itch.
He reached out to scratch, but the doctor stopped him.
Park Changjun said to two nurses, "Lay him down on the hospital bed, tie his hands, and don’t let him touch his right leg."
The two nurses didn’t waste words, directly carrying out Park Changjun’s orders.
South Korean nurses, to tell the truth, are beautiful, sweet-voiced, and well-shaped.
The two of them tied Wu Bin up, one on each side, but because their figures were so enticing, it was easy for onlookers to have their thoughts wander.
It always felt less like proper treatment and more like some kind of role-play scenario.
Park Changjun explained to Wu Bin, "I am really sorry, my friend, but the rate of fungal infection on your right foot is incredibly fast, beyond what we had imagined."
"Moreover, the swelling in your right leg is also very severe. Do you see these veins?"
"Normally, these vessels should be under the skin, but now, because of the swelling in your leg, they are on the surface. If you scratch them, it could easily cause bleeding symptoms and aggravate the condition."
"So, for the sake of your health, I hope you can bear with it."
Wu Bin nodded his head.
"I thank... damn, it’s so itchy!"
Wu Bin hadn’t finished his thanks when suddenly an intense itch surged right to his forehead!
This feeling was hard to describe.
Wu Bin only knew what was described as agony to the core, but this was his first time experiencing what it meant to be itchy to the point of astral projection!
Wu Bin suddenly remembered watching a TV show where there was a type of torture.
It involved burying someone in sand, then shaving their head and covering it with honey to let ants crawl and gnaw at it.
It was said that this would make the tortured feel unbearably itchy, and eventually, they could not help but burst out of the sand, leaving their entire skin behind.
When he first saw this TV scene, Wu Bin even laughed.
Thinking, how could itch be a torture? Ridiculous.
But now, having experienced it himself, Wu Bin couldn’t laugh anymore.
This was indeed torture!
More unbearable than any pain he had felt before by tenfold!
Park Changjun hadn’t expected Wu Bin’s reaction to be so intense.
The two beautiful nurses beside him asked, "Dr. Park, do we need to administer a sedative to the patient?"
Park Changjun shook his head in refusal.
"The patient is just feeling itchy, and it doesn’t affect his condition. Let’s not administer a sedative yet. Let’s observe a bit longer."
No sooner had Park Changjun finished his sentence than another doctor pointed at Wu Bin’s foot, "Dr. Park, his entire sole has turned black!"
Everyone looked intently, only to discover that just a few minutes ago, it was only Wu Bin’s little toe that had turned black, but now his entire sole had become black, terrifyingly so!
Lying on the hospital bed, Wu Bin was already itchy to the point of becoming delirious.
He yelled to Han Jiaoyan, who was standing far away, "Han, come over and scratch me just once, just a scratch, and I will never ask for it again."
"I am so itchy! There are insects crawling on my leg!"
"Come help me, and whatever you say in the future, I will agree!"
