Chapter 39

Shi Yu woke up in the morning and found no one around, but heard vague voices outside the door.

Due to the Alliance's involvement, the Northwest War Zone had already set up dedicated communication equipment. This morning, Yun Linai received a call from Yun Che, the Alliance's chairman.

"You've found the person I didn't find." A long-lost, old voice came from the phone. "Tell me, how do you want to pressure me this time?"

Yun Lin'ai showed no expression. "I just want you to sign."

Yun Che looked at the marriage application form sent to him. This was not the first one.

“What happens if I don’t sign?”

Yun Linai: "Then I have no choice but to stop you from being the chairman."

Yun Che was recently reported for illegal activities, and was forced to be suspended from his post at home after being jointly reported by several veteran generals.

But his own son had to come and make trouble. This time, the signatures on the application form were not only from Yun Lin'ai and Shi Yu, but also from the consent letter jointly written by those generals.

This is forcing him to sign.

Although Yun Che was suspended, he still had power. However, without the support of a few generals, even with power in his hands, it would be in vain.

Especially in the past two years, many people in the alliance have begun to support Yun Linai.

"What? You want to take my place?" Yun Che didn't seem very angry after hearing that.

"I wouldn't even covet your position. A chairman without achievements and credibility will only attract too many enemies. You know this better than I do."

Yun Lin'ai had a lot of experience in angering his father to death. For his grandfather, it was also a very pleasing thing.

"A son who has been raised as a waste should be taught by his grandson." Yun Zhi contacted Yun Lin'ai through the relationship of the Southern Command.

The relationship between father and son has reached a breaking point, just like the old man and his son back then, they no longer see each other and have severed all ties.

Yun Zhi didn't want to bring it up anymore and changed the subject, "I heard you found Xiao Shi?"

When mentioning this, Yun Linai couldn't help but sarcastically reminisce about the time when he sent people to Beidao to look for someone. "Is Golden Bay going to go bankrupt? They're only raising useless people."

"You little bastard." Yun Zhi scolded him.

"Where's Xiao? You're not going to let him stay in that smelly, dirty place with you, are you?"

After receiving the confirmation, Yun Zhi was in disbelief. "Are you still human? You're used to it, but how could he be used to it? There's constant bombing over there, and you let an Omega accompany you everywhere, and he's not in good health. You are a beast, grandson!"

Yun Lin'ai didn't hear all of Yun Zhi's slander, but paused and looked down at the thin hands that appeared at his waist.

Yun Linai: "I'll come visit you when I have time. I'm hanging up now."

He raised his hand and held it without turning around, just tilting his head slightly: "Did I wake you up?"

Yun Lin'ai had not yet fully dressed, and he and Shi Yu were still in pajamas. At this time, they were very close to each other, and the fabric on their backs was rubbing slightly.

Shi Yu shook his head: "No, the curtains don't block out the light."

"Just now, was it grandpa who called?" Shi Yu could tell from Yun Lin's gentle tone.

"Yeah, he was scolding me." Yun Lin'ai turned around and looked down at him.

Shi Yu was not wearing glasses, so Yun Linai was blurry in his vision.

He looked unconvinced, "Why would grandpa scold you?"

"Have you done anything to offend him?"

Yun Linai pretended to be silent for a moment, "I guess so."

Shi Yu didn't understand, and Yun Lin'ai rubbed the spot under his eyes with his thumb.

"He thought I was the one who brought you into the combat zone."

Shi Yu frowned slightly, "It's not you... I'll explain to him next time."

Yun Linai carried the man back to the room and said, "Then I'll leave it to you to clear my name."

But even if he explained, Yun Zhi probably wouldn't believe it. Yun Lin Ai just thought he was teasing Shi Yu.

He put on the glasses for the man, lowered his head and asked Shi Yu, "Have you not taken your medicine yet?"

Shi Yu's expression paused. These days, he took medicine every morning without telling Yun Lin'ai. The onset of stress disorder was irregular, so as a precaution, he took medicine from another bottle every day.

I didn’t expect Yun Lin’ai to know about it.

However, he still didn't ask what the medicine was specifically used to treat. Yun Lin'ai gave Shi Yu enough privacy and didn't ask anything else. He simply reminded him to take the medicine.

For some reason, this made Shi Yu feel sad again.

"Um......"

Yun Linai stood up and walked to Shi Yu's suitcase, opened it, and asked, "Which medicine bottle?"

"The blue one."

Yun Lin'ai picked it up naturally, poured out two pills, and fed them to Shi Yu himself. Later, as if wanting to help him relieve the bitterness in his mouth, Yun Lin'ai lowered his head and kissed him for a while.

Shi Yu's mood suddenly changed, and he was no longer sad.

After Yun Lin'ai drove the man to the treatment center, he happened to meet Lu Yichuang who was jogging in the morning, so he took him into the car.

On the way back to the command center, Lu Yichuan asked him, "Why did you leave early last night?"

"I'm sleepy." Yun Linai made up an excuse.

Lu Yichuan rolled his eyes: "Will I believe you?"

But he changed his attitude quickly. As soon as he finished speaking, Yun Lin'ai threw a golden card over.

"It includes the right to use all of Golden Bay's banquet halls and wedding services. Pick the one you want and the points will be deducted directly."

Lu Yichuan held the gold card in both hands and said, "You are really my financial sponsor!"

"Don't even think about sitting in the main seat. You can even ride on my head!"

Yun Linai sneered, "Don't disgust me."

After saying that, he couldn't help but raise the corner of his mouth, and was sincerely happy for the other person.

The conference room was already filled with a group of people, but this time the admiral looked serious and was discussing something with his peers.

After Yun Lin'ai and Lu Yichuan signed in and sat down, he spoke solemnly before the meeting started, "The rainy season in the northwest region continues. Those on guard at the border just sent word that there's a high probability of widespread rainfall over the next two days, possibly even natural disasters like torrential rain and storm surges, leading to flash floods."

"Starting today, we will focus on evacuating people from the villages. We must prevent and mitigate floods."

As if to confirm the admiral's words, as soon as he finished speaking, a muffled thunder was heard in the sky.

The sound was not loud, but it was enough to alert everyone present.

"Team one of us will go check the people in the nearby villages first, and team two will prepare flood prevention supplies." Yun Lin'ai frowned.

Pei Rang nodded. "Got it. I'll have someone bring some more medical equipment and personnel."

Yun Lin'ai paused, wanting to say something, but remained silent.

After preparing everything, Yun Lin'ai sat in the car waiting for other team members. He sent a message to Shi Yu using the communicator.

[You don't have to wait for me after this, and you don't have to come back. You can stay in Dr. Ping Fang's dormitory for one night.]

His expression was brief, but he knew Shi Yu could understand it. Sure enough, he replied the next second without asking him what he was doing, just one sentence.

【good. 】

Yun Linai couldn't help but chuckle, his tone helpless yet gnashing with anger, "You've grown wings."

After saying that, he threw the communicator away and drove towards the westernmost mountain with all the members of the team.

The treatment center also received the message five minutes after the meeting.

After Shi Yu finished replying to the message, he heard Ping Fang ask him, "Shi Xiao, do you really have to go?"

"You have to go even if you don't want to. This is the order from the higher-ups." After hearing the news, the director of the treatment center quickly selected a few people to rush to the village to carry out logistical rescue work.

Before leaving, the dean stopped Shi Yu and said, "Doctor Shi, you are very suitable for working on the front line. Your skills are far superior to others. That's why we let you participate in this operation... You..."

Shi Yu noticed that the dean looked unnatural. After all, everyone in the hospital now knew about his relationship with Yun Lin'ai.

"Dean, being a doctor is my first responsibility, and I will be responsible to the end." Shi Yu lowered his eyelids. "My relationship with Captain Yun is exactly what you think."

The dean didn't expect him to bring it up directly, and couldn't help feeling a little embarrassed.

Shi Yu said, "But it was just a romantic relationship. There was no profit involved, and I didn't deliberately use my position to do anything that would affect any orders."

"I can't do it, and Captain Yun can't do it either."

The dean was completely relieved and said with respect, "Well, I hope you return safely."

"Yes."

On the way, Shi Yu took another pill to prevent stress. He looked at the raindrops gradually spreading on the car window and became dazed.

The task of evacuating the masses was proceeding in an orderly manner, and Shi Yu prayed that they would not encounter a large number of casualties this time.

"What are you daydreaming about?" Jiang Kuo asked him from the side.

He was not chosen by the dean, but he volunteered to follow. His professionalism was no less than Shi Yu's.

"It's okay, I just hope there aren't any casualties this time."

Jiang Kuo smiled and said, "They evacuated the crowd quickly. We have to trust the front line."

Shi Yu was a little absent-minded, his heart beating faster than usual. Looking at the dark clouds gradually getting darker in the distance, he felt uneasy.

There was another burst of muffled thunder in the distance. The sound was not loud, but it seemed like a storm was about to come. The fine rain curtain had already wet Yun Lin'ai's shoulders.

They checked the villages one by one, and then quickly arranged the villagers in a safe place, and then sent them to the refugee camps in batches by rescue vehicles.

The evacuation of hundreds of villagers was difficult. Lu Yichuan shouted through a loudspeaker, "Travel light! Try not to bring any boxes. Watch your step. There are proper evacuations. Please listen quietly to the instructions of the on-site personnel. Don't rush!"

Lu Yichuang repeated the same words dozens of times until his voice became hoarse. However, some disobedient people still squeezed into the car with big and small boxes, almost knocking him away as he was standing by the door.

Yun Lin'ai brought dozens of people to the safe zone repeatedly, and then rushed back to continue looking for houses that might have been forgotten.

As a result, they didn't even have food to eat and worked until dusk. They checked the village again and made sure that there was no one there before they gradually evacuated.

The rain gradually got heavier, the water level in the river began to rise, and the rainwater on the hillside began to wash the ground, rolling down to the village gate bit by bit.

The house collapsed in an instant. When Yun Lin'ai and his team were evacuating the last batch of villagers, the mountain torrent completely swept through the entire village.

The villagers' lifelong efforts are insignificant in the face of natural disasters.

Lu Yichuang stood aside with a very bad look on his face. He became unusually silent after answering the communicator.

After all the villagers got on the bus, he turned around and prepared to drive in the opposite direction.

"Where are you going?" Yun Lin'ai grabbed him.

In the heavy rain, he grabbed Lu Yichuang, fearing that he would do something stupid.

"The rescue vehicle Jiang Kuo is in is stuck in the middle of the mountain and can't get down. The road ahead of them is most prone to landslides, and there's a seriously injured patient in the vehicle. I have to get them down."

Yun Lin'ai's expression didn't look any better. He snatched the car keys and said calmly, "I'll drive, you sit next to me!"

The off-road vehicle roared softly as it drove up the mountain. The signal in the village was extremely poor. Lu Yichuang was trying to contact Jiang Kuo all the way. His hands holding the communicator were shaking. It was a miracle that he could drive at this time.

In the quiet carriage, every sound from the communicator seemed particularly precious.

After a "sizzle" sound, Lu Yichuan sat up straight, "Jiang Kuo?"

It wasn't Jiang Kuo who replied, but another cold yet unfamiliar voice, "Second Lieutenant Lu."

Yun Linai's pupils shrank and the steering wheel almost turned crooked.

Lu Yichuan was stunned, "Shi Yu?"

After saying that, he glanced at Yun Linai who was driving, "Why are you here? Where's Jiang Kuo?"

"Doctor Jiang is fine. He is rescuing patients in the rescue vehicle." The voice on the other end of the phone was heavy and the breathing was intermittent. For the first time, Yun Lin'ai disliked Lu Yichuang's broken communicator.

"We were on a hillside, our car had broken down, and the patient wasn't doing well."

Thunder suddenly sounded in the distance, and Shi Yu's voice paused obviously, and then his voice trembled.

Yun Linai snatched the communicator and said, "Five minutes, I'll be there soon."

Shi Yu obviously didn't expect Yun Lin'ai to be there. He wiped the rain off his face and softened his voice, "Okay, I'll wait for you."

They all thought that this was just a simple rescue, and Yun Lin'ai also believed that he could bring the people back safely, but no one expected that in just a few minutes, the accident would happen so suddenly and dangerously.

It was the first time that Yun Linai, who had been in the Northwest for six years, became so panicked.
