Yan Feifan's shout was a beat too late.
To be precise, the man with the crew cut either didn't listen or simply didn't hear him out of fear and panic.
He yanked the bamboo skewer out in one go.
A fountain of blood immediately spurted out, following the skewer.
When Yan Feifan saw that the extracted skewer was nearly twenty centimeters long, his heart sank.
This guy's chances were slim to none.
Analyzing the skewer's length and the angle of extraction, Yan Feifan was certain.
The skewer had gone through the man's oral cavity, passed through the atlantoaxial joint space, pierced his brainstem, and embedded itself in his cerebellum.
Leaving aside other injuries, the brainstem is the body's life-sustaining center, responsible for regulating both respiration and circulation.
An injury in this area could easily lead to respiratory and circulatory failure.
