Chapter 70
The boy, who had been up all night, looked pale and ugly, but in the midst of the ravages of the natural disaster, seeing the injured people and injured rescue team members, whether they were official, CPA or civilians, their pain was so vivid, so vivid that it made people's heart ache.
But no matter how serious the injuries were, everyone was smiling.
"I have awakened to the liberation of my true name."
Luo Dong looked at his companions around him, his voice somewhat bitter.
Gu Qingming did not speak, and continued to wait for his companion to share everything he wanted to say.
This support at the emergency medical point allowed Luo Dong to truly see the edge of the god of death's clothes.
The East C District has always been a place where people from all sides come to its aid when one side is in trouble.
A CPA rescue team member whose entire leg was cut and bloody spoke with an accent that did not belong to the Lantai area, and talked to the CPA in the next bed who also had a lot of scratches on his body about the life he saved.
"You have no idea how cute that little baby is. I brought him down from upstairs and he smiled at me... He's as cute as my son."
The injured CPA lamented.
In places where the water was very deep, speedboats could not pass because of the blind corners of buildings and piles of debris. In order to rescue the trapped residents, they had to wade through the water.
The flood flowed too fast and the debris inside was very sharp. The CPA uncle did not realize that his leg was injured. After carrying out several trapped people, he found that his fisherman's pants had been torn at some point.
Luo Dong turned his back and used his supernatural powers to heal himself, silently keeping the pain to himself.
Anyway, he has resistance to his own superpowers, and he can't let the heroes who are already on the front line fighting the flood endure this.
There were too many injured people, and many of them were seriously injured, groaning in pain while lying on simple hospital beds.
Many members of the rescue team only carried out simple treatment and bandaging before rushing to the surface and starting patrolling again, fighting for their lives against the heavy rain.
Luo Dong saw ordinary people struggling and trying their best to get their families to a safe place despite their injuries.
A member of the rescue team whose wounds are still getting infected.
The medical staff looked pale but continued to treat the wounds of the injured.
Ordinary medical staff mixed together with members of the Rod of Asclepius, as if the barrier between superpowers and ordinary people had never existed.
The rescued grandfather who carried the exhausted rescue team members to the medical station, the resident’s own drone that guided the rescue team, and the junior high school girl who helped tear off the gauze...
Everyone is working towards a common goal - to keep more people alive.
Survive well.
Looking at everything that was both messy and orderly, Luo Dong, who had just been muddling through in high school and had no idea what major he would choose in the future, suddenly had a very strong idea.
He wanted to...become a doctor.
Compared with the terrible mysterious events, natural disaster rescue is the safest thing that the CPA specialists face, but even so, blood still flows through Luo Dong's fingers.
It's warm.
Their blood shouldn't flow so uncontrollably.
I want to help.
Luo Dong thought of his friends at an inopportune moment.
What if one day, his friends also lay on pale beds because of fighting with mystery or Ceobe?
Especially that fool Gu Qingming who always likes to rush to the front.
What if something happens to Gu Qingming...but he doesn't have in-depth medical knowledge and can't get his friend out of danger immediately?
The effect of the supernatural power can only heal wounds. He also needs a lot of relevant knowledge before he can truly become the wall between them and death that his partners usually joke about.
At the moment when thoughts spread infinitely, invisible white feathers seemed to spread around because of some surging emotions.
That feeling is not despair, nor is it deep sorrow, but a feeling of powerlessness, which is really depressing.
[Lantern, real name liberation. 】
The rain was falling softly, but it was much lighter now.
"By the way, did you feel that the en factor used in the treatment just now has decreased?"
A doctor wearing a white cross armband and the Rod of Asclepius spoke.
"The patients' wounds have also healed faster. Could it be that someone has activated the True Name Release function?"
The doctor shook his head and said, "It is the most difficult for the healing class to awaken the True Name Liberation. The big guys who have the True Name Liberation follow those teams to the most dangerous places. Maybe it's because the waterspout just passed here and the mysterious concentration is relatively high."
True Name Release is the equivalent of a character's ultimate move in online games for psychics. Using True Name Release is equivalent to instantly clearing the threshold and outputting at maximum power. However, not every psychic can awaken True Name Release.
In fact, awakening the true name and liberating it is a very difficult thing, and awakening the healing system is almost impossible.
Luo Dong understood what kind of person he really wanted to be in the disaster brought about by the flood. It was the first time that he cured someone to the point of overdrawing his superpowers. It was the first time that he awakened his true name because he wanted to stop seeing blood. It was also the first time that he saw the road that had always existed under his feet.
So he peeled away the clouds and walked towards his true self.
Luo Dong's voice trembled a little.
"It doesn't matter. As long as you think it's worth it, just do it. I will always support you."
Gu Qingming patted Luo Dong on the shoulder.
"Doctor, I never thought I would have such a great doctor friend."
The boy blinked and joked.
"But...leave the pain of healing to me."
His voice was firm, as if he would be the strongest barrier behind him no matter what decision Luo Dong made.
But he revealed the fundamental reason why Luo Dong looked unhappy - every time he used his superpowers, he couldn't bear to let the other party suffer the pain that came with his superpowers, so he bore it all himself.
The boy's fingertips were still trembling. Luo Dong was stunned and said, "I really still hate you... I hate people like you who are very sensitive in strange places."
Luo Dong lowered his eyes, and even though he said he hated it, the corners of his mouth couldn't help but curl up.
"It's okay. It's just a little pain. Just treat it as getting used to the painful life of a medical student in advance."
Luo Dong pretended to be nonchalant and spread his hands, but he grimaced in pain because of the lingering pain.
He covered his heart, his pale face revealing his stubbornness.
"No, no, no, it's not just you two, we're coming too."
Zheng Qiuji and Chu Zhongyuan, who were not far away, had rushed over at some point. Chu Zhongyuan habitually put his hand on Gu Qingming's shoulder and laughed wantonly.
"No matter how terrible something is, if you divide it by four, it becomes less unbearable, right?"
Chu Zhongyuan winked at Luo Dong.
"I thought so."
"What about you, Luo Dong?"
Gu Qingming raised his eyes and raised his eyebrows towards Luo Dong, rarely showing such a lively expression.
"Don't make it special."
I don’t know whose voice is carried in the wind.
The memory of the second brother Lori has become blurred, and the once gentle smile appears in Luo Dong's mind.
"When you're with your friends, don't ask for special treatment, my third brother."
The figures of the three companions were facing away from the rising sun, yet they seemed brighter than the sun.
They just stood there, as if they had become each other's invincible courage.
Luo Dong couldn't control his voice and shook the hands extended by the three men.
The four high school students stood together, with their backs to the rising sun and the morning light, smiling as they shared the pain that had been deprived of them by Luo Dong.
As the rescue was nearing its end, the communication equipment returned to normal after intensive repairs.
“Ding Dong——”
"Meaning? There's a signal."
Chu Zhongyuan looked at his mobile phone screen which suddenly lit up. It was a message from Granny Shen asking about his safety after she saw the report of the flood in Lantai City.
"Let me see—"
Luo Dong then remembered that he had not yet informed his parents and elder brother that he was safe. He quickly turned on his cell phone and was startled by the flashing red number on the phone icon.
148.
While he rushed to help the rescue team, his parents and eldest brother stubbornly tried to make a phone call.
Looking forward to the possibility that the connection might be established.
What if the signal suddenly gets better and I can connect to it?
Luo Dong felt a lump in his throat, and just as he was about to say something, his parents called again.
He quickly turned around and found a place to report his safety.
148 phone calls, that was the insignificant and thriving love that the parents had for their son compared to the natural disaster and heavy rain.
"Oh, that's so annoying. My programmer can't do it—"
Before Zheng Qiuji finished speaking, his cell phone rang urgently.
Zheng Qiuji didn't care about being slapped in the face and hurriedly responded to his adoptive father's scolding.
"Yes, yes, I'm fine, don't worry, I'm really fine—"
Gu Qingming and Chu Zhongyuan looked at each other and smiled.
Lu Ze’s 800-word essay was still on the screen. Gu Qingming looked at the words in the green bubble boxes and felt a sense of concern.
"Look, the world is not always bad. It always shows its gentle side in unexpected places."
His mother's voice rang in his ears, gentle as a spring flower.
“I think it’s great.”
Chu Zhongyuan looked at his companions who were reporting safety to their families on both sides, one was timid, the other kept responding and started bragging, and Gu Qingming who was smiling gently beside him, and he sighed with his hands behind his back.
"Me too."
Gu Qingming did not hesitate and quickly expressed the same emotion.
It’s great to have companions, family, a home to return to, and friends who are always with me and will never leave.
The disaster caused by the mysterious water factor had a wider impact than expected. He Bo of Shuhe was also extremely busy, and the plan to invite several people was postponed again.
At the flag-raising ceremony on Monday, Gu Qingming was so frightened by the banner sent by Jiamu that he almost turned around and ran away.
"Adhere to the school motto of No. 1 Middle School, strictly observe the discipline of No. 1 Middle School, remember the teachings of teachers, and live up to the high expectations of parents. At this flag-raising ceremony, we deeply praise Gu Qingming's heroic act of saving people. I am very happy that Lantai No. 1 Middle School..."
Zhang Yiwei continued his long speech on the flag-raising platform. Gu Qingming felt the gazes of different classes and classmates around him, so he borrowed a mask from Zheng Qiuji, as if this would make him disappear in the whispers.
"It's really terrible... The water level in the city didn't even reach my calves during those days, and I don't know how serious the situation will be in Qianlong Lake..."
"Indeed, if it were me, I would never dare to..."
"Which class are you from? Class 15! That's the one, right? Wow, he's even more handsome than I thought..."
Gu Qingming felt that he had created a new Lantai No. 1 Middle School.
After the arduous flag-raising ceremony, Jiamu even called to take credit: "How's High School Student? This should give you a lot of points! I wanted to write 'Revived with a miraculous hand, saved my dog's life' but my snake stopped me. See if you need to write it again - Hiss High School Student!"
Gu Qingming hung up the phone without listening to the other party's excited request for credit.
What a joke! This was already socially dead enough. If that guy used that kind of "couplet" again, Gu Qingming felt that he could just escape from Lantai No. 1 Middle School.
"I really can't handle people who are too enthusiastic."
Gu Qingming covered his face, fell on the table, and his hands unconsciously fiddled with his hair.
"... someone who is too enthusiastic..."
Chu Zhongyuan stood there in a daze as if he had been struck by lightning.
"Except you."
Gu Qingming quickly added.
"That's what I said."
Chu Zhongyuan instantly returned to normal and continued to be in high spirits.
With the arrival of summer, the temperature rose. A mosquito flew in from the back door of the classroom and flew all the way to the podium. Along the way, the students' snapping sounds were endless, as if they were applauding for something.
"Here, the auxiliary line connects H and D—"
Cao Sheng didn't use a loudspeaker, but his voice could still be heard clearly in the last row of the classroom. While explaining the math problem, he secretly used his supernatural power to blast away the mosquito with a piece of chalk.
Outside the window, there is lush greenery. The first cicada chirps came unexpectedly after the flood. The glass is clear and the sun is shining brightly.
Chu Zhongyuan tilted his head slightly. From this position he had changed after school started, he could see the emerald green leaves embracing the summer outside the window. The fine light sprinkled on the young man who was perking up and listening to the class carefully, casting a white light on his black-framed glasses.
The so-called peaceful days are just like this.
"Let me see how much you have asked for this question."
Cao Sheng didn't know when he came down from the podium. Chu Zhongyuan handed the question to him. Cao Sheng raised his eyebrows: "Hey——"
"How is it, is your prayer accurate?"
Chu Zhongyuan showed the pride of being the math class representative.
"It's a pretty authentic number, but it's wrong."
Cao Sheng said with a smile.
Chu Zhongyuan looked at it in disbelief, and then he drooped. "Sorry, Boss Cao, I copied the wrong question."
It’s all because Xiao Ming is so good-looking, Chu Zhongyuan thought happily in his heart.
