Chapter 1029 Summerfield College's team captain was stuck between a rock and a hard place, but he ventured to ask, "How many of us do you want to compete with?" Arabella's eyes scanned each of them, her tone casual, “All of you. Together." Her statement was audacious, causing many of the Summerfield College students in the audience to anticipate her humiliation.
“Fine, you asked for it,” thought the Summerfield College team captain.
Surely, they, a team of four, couldn't tose to a girl who often skipped classes.
Soon, two cadavers were brought onto the stage.
They were covered with white sheets and laid on gurneys. Just the sight of it was enough to send chills down the spine of many in the audience. Seven got up and left their seats.
Those bodies, donated for teaching purposes, were rapidly frozen to -22°F within eight hours of death and then preserved properly.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtWhen needed for teaching, they would be thawed to 39°F, ensuring the freshness of the cadavers and allowing students to simulate surgical procedures on actual human bodies.
At that moment, the two cadavers were perfectly thawed. Arabella, looking at the audience, kindly advised, "Those who are scared can leave first." After all, not everyone could handle such a scene.
More people left their seats.
Yet, even more stayed. Swere curious about Arabella, and others wanted to witness the outcof the competition.
Arabella made a respectful bow to the cadavers, then unveiled the sheet from one of them.
Many in the audience shrieked and left their seats.
After all, that was a real dead body.
“The deceased was about 5'9", in his early 30s, fit, with a thick layer of abdominal fat, muscular, no bullet holes in the back of his head, limbs intact.
This suggests he wasn't an executed criminal or a victim of a car crash," Arabella commented, expressionless. She put on gloves, picked up the scalpel, and made a clean incision on the deceased's skin.
“There's a hard mass in the lungs, filling the chest cavity, eroding the normal lung and blood vessels, leaving only about one-third of the normal lung." Arabella remained calm, making her conclusion, "The deceased died of lung cancer. I'd like to take this opportunity to advise the male students to quit smoking. It's harmful to your health" Not just the Summerfield College team but all the students of Summerfield College in the audience were stunned.
She was so cool, so professional! She wasn't scared at all by the fresh corpse in front of her but could rationally analyze the cause of death.
What was even more unbelievable was that she could perform autopsies! Her movements were effortless and proficient, no different from seasoned surgeons at the hospital.
A freshman could perform an autopsy so well.
Arabella pointed out scharacteristics of the deceased, then sewed up the incision, restoring the cadaver to its original state.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmHer suturing skill was astonishing. Two of the judges from the panel stood up involuntarily as if seeing the next medical prodigy! Arabella removed her gloves and sanitized her hands, then turned her gaze back to the Summerfield College team.
The team seemed glued to their seats, motionless. They studied late into the night, sponging up medical knowledge and even receiving private tutoring from renowned doctors.
But now, they couldn't even match up to a girl studying neurology.
The team captain didn't know how long he was stunned until the audience's urging brought him back to his senses.
He lifted the sheet off the other cadaver with trembling hands, only to throw up on the spot at the sight of the disfigured body.
The other three members of the Summerfield College team also bent over, retching at the sight.
Many in the audience screamed.
Because the sight of this cadaver was truly horrifying! v
