Chapter 232 Don't worry about me, save my wife first.

Xia Yuhuan pulled Deng Qili along as fast as they could, and they finally caught up with the main group.

After walking for nearly another hour, they finally arrived at the disaster site.

This is a county town, and at first glance, it is a scene of devastation, with almost no intact houses left.

Soldiers who arrived before them were already searching for people in the ruins.

Tents have been set up on the open ground next to it, and the wounded who have been rescued are inside.

The scene can only be described as horrific.

Countless lives have been lost beneath the collapsed buildings, and the air is thick with the smell of earth and blood.

Even the water flowing beneath our feet, murky with yellow mud, was mixed with blood, a sight that was heartbreaking to see.

The medical staff were deeply shocked.

The military officials came over to negotiate with them.

"Are you the military medics in charge of this area? We arrived ahead of time and have already rescued many wounded soldiers. Some of them are seriously injured and are barely clinging to life. We need your help to treat them as soon as possible."

“In such an environment, there will definitely be many open wounds, and we need to have fixed tents for them to perform surgery,” Zeng Zhibo said.

"So, we'll need your help to get a few soldiers to help us set up the tents first. Our medics can go to the tents where you've settled the wounded to treat them. What do you think?"

As the person in charge of this medical team, he naturally had to make things clear to the other party at this time.

"Okay, then thank you for your hard work. Leave the tent-setting up to us."

Soon, both sides divided the work: some set up tents, and others carried out rescues.

Since the tents for settling the wounded had limited space, Xia Yuhuan didn't follow along to join the commotion. Instead, she turned and walked towards the collapse area.

Deng Qili followed her, saying, "Are you crazy? Why are you running this way? We should be going to the tents to rescue people."

Xia Yuhuan said, "We have enough people in the tent. Going in would just be a waste of resources as everyone is crammed together. There are still a lot of people here who have just been rescued but no one is taking care of them. Let's rescue them first."

When Deng Qili looked at it, it was indeed true.

The soldiers are working hard to pull people out of the rubble, and they cannot back down in a time like this.

So, she and Xia Yuhuan got busy together.

At this point, the two stopped walking together and each chose a direction to begin rescuing people.

The scene at the disaster site was even more heart-wrenching, shocking, and tragic than the scenes depicted in later disaster movies on the big screen. It was so devastating that it was impossible not to feel the pain in one's heart.

Xia Yuhuan's heart was in her throat; she couldn't relax for a moment.

"Hello, are you still conscious? Where does it hurt? Can you tell me?" Xia Yuhuan squatted down in front of a wounded soldier, gently patting his face as she asked.

He lay on the ground with his eyes closed, his face deathly pale. One of his arms was broken and hung limply to the side. The rain poured down, and the blood flowing from below his arm never stopped.

Hearing Xia Yuhuan's question, he opened his eyes with difficulty.

"Are you a doctor?" he asked.

"Yes, that's me. Tell me, besides your arm, where else does it hurt? How are you feeling now?" Xia Yuhuan asked.

The injury on his arm was visible to the naked eye, but the sensations inside his body could only be truly understood by him directly describing them.

"Only my hands are alright, my body is fine. I'm okay, doctor, please go and save my wife first," he said weakly.

Xia Yuhuan never expected that even with his own hand broken, he would still be thinking about saving his wife.

"Your condition is also very serious. Let me treat your hand first, otherwise it will be useless later."

The man was very weak, yet he struggled to get up.

“I don’t need…I don’t need treatment. You have to go save my wife. She’s over there. She’s trapped under the collapsed building. I can’t pull her out,” the man said.

Xia Yuhuan glanced in the direction he was pointing and said, "Soldiers are already rescuing your wife over there. Don't move around. I'll treat your injuries and then go over to see her."

The man breathed a sigh of relief when he heard that someone had gone over there to provide treatment.

He tried to look in that direction, but the next moment he fell into a coma.

Xia Yuhuan was taken aback and quickly grabbed his uninjured hand to take his pulse.

"Oh no, the internal organs are damaged and there is severe bleeding. Immediate surgery is necessary to save his life."

While stabilizing the man's condition, Xia Yuhuan shouted for help.

Soldiers nearby heard her shouts and rushed over.

"Doctor, what's wrong? Do you need our help to move this person?"

Xia Yuhuan said, "This comrade is seriously injured and needs immediate surgery. Have you set up the tent yet? If so, you need to move him inside immediately."

"Two usable ones have already been set up, and your medical staff are installing medical equipment and supplies."

"Quickly, bring a stretcher and carry him into the tent," Xia Yuhuan said immediately.

"good."

Soon someone brought over a stretcher and, following Xia Yuhuan's instructions, carried the person into the tent.

Afterwards, they helped the wounded man take off his soaked clothes, dried him off, and then put him on the makeshift operating table.

Xia Yuhuan told Dr. Zeng, who was inside the tent, about the man's condition.

Upon learning of the urgency of the situation, Dr. Zeng immediately prepared for surgery.

Xia Yuhuan had assisted Dr. Zeng in two surgeries and knew his medical skills were superb. As long as the diagnosis of the symptoms was correct, there would be absolutely no problem entrusting this surgery to him.

Now, her assessment of a person's physical condition is more accurate than any instrument due to the various accumulated buffs, so there is absolutely no need to worry about it.

After handing the person over to Dr. Zeng, Xia Yuhuan left through the tent entrance and quickly headed in the direction the man had pointed earlier.

When she got to that area, she saw a woman who had just been rescued by soldiers from under a collapsed building.

She was pregnant and had fallen into a coma, curled up and clutching her belly.

Even when faced with such serious danger, she prioritized her child, exercising her maternal instincts to protect him and prevent any harm from happening to him.

Xia Yuhuan thought of the original owner's biological mother, who was killed by Xia Jianyong while searching for her, and her eyes welled up with tears.

Although not all parents in this world are worthy of being parents, there are always those who are.

Like that man just now, even though he was in critical condition himself, he was still worried about his wife and wanted her to get treatment and be safe.

Just like this comatose mother, perhaps she is also filled with fear, afraid that she might die at any moment.

Yet, she still curled up in the earthquake, using her last bit of strength to protect her child.

"Doctor, quick, check her quickly, is there any hope for her? Her breathing is very weak."

The moment Xia Yuhuan walked over, she was spotted by a soldier nearby, who quickly pulled her to the pregnant woman.

"Okay, I'll take a look." Xia Yuhuan agreed, squatted down in front of the pregnant woman, and began to examine her condition.
