After chatting and joking with everyone for a while, Ruan Ruan looked at the soldiers and police officers who were still busy outside, greeted Su Yunqing and the others, and then got up and walked outside.
When Dr. Jiang saw that Ruan Ruan was going to find Huo Haocheng and the others, she followed along.
The two struggled through the crowd to the door, where they saw several elderly men and women being carried by soldiers into the shelter.
Without even asking, Ruan Ruan knew that these elderly men and women probably didn't believe the soldiers' explanation. Another reason was that they felt they were too old to abandon their homes for the sake of the unknown. Besides, when they left, they only brought things that were easy to carry. Valuable furniture, pots and pans, and other things that they couldn't take with them were left at home.
Hearing the elderly men and women kicking and punching the soldiers and police officers carrying them, Ruan Ruan mentally called out to the system, "Bai Ze, get me some sleeping potion." As she spoke, Ruan Ruan walked towards them.
The kitten in the system space was watching "The Great Earthquake" and crying its eyes out when it heard its owner calling it.
She casually grabbed some sleeping pills from the medicine shelf in front of her, put them on the handkerchief she used to wipe her tears, and placed it in her soft hand.
In the dead of night, no one noticed when Ruan Ruan suddenly had a handkerchief in her hand.
But when she walked up to them, Ruan Ruan didn't say a word. She pressed the handkerchief to the nose of the old man who was closest to her, and in an instant, the old man fell into a deep sleep.
Then Ruan Ruan repeated the same method, quickly walking up to the still struggling elderly people, and in less than a minute, she had them all knocked unconscious.
"...This, this." The soldiers carrying the person were amazed by Ruan Ruan's movements; did their son know how brave their sister-in-law was?
Dr. Jiang, who was following behind Ruan Ruan, was only wondering when she saw Ruan Ruan's actions whether she had a handkerchief in her hand when they came out.
"Alright, carry them all inside. Remember to cover them with blankets." Ruan Ruan didn't explain much to them. It was so late, and they were all exhausted after a long day. These people were so uncooperative, it was really annoying!
After they carried the person inside and placed them in a corner, they didn't forget what their sister-in-law had told them: to cover them with blankets before coming out.
However, when the other civilians in the shelter saw the soldiers carrying these elderly men and women in, those who had initially had some reservations were all frightened and dared not utter a sound.
After the soldiers came out, those who were closer to them mustered up their courage to go forward and check on them. They were relieved to find that the soldiers were just asleep.
Just like that, those who were clamoring to go back closed their eyes and pretended to be asleep. They dared not clamor to go back anymore, afraid that if they said another word, they would be the next one lying there.
Seeing that the people inside had stopped making noise, Ruanruan and Dr. Jiang walked towards the small house where Huo Haocheng and the others were.
Right now, the mayor, the police chief, the commander of Tangcheng Military Command, and Huo Haocheng are all inside discussing what to do next.
Upon seeing them approach, Gu Jinghe, who was sitting on the haystack outside the hut, was the first to spot them and immediately got up and ran towards them.
"Why did you come here?" Gu Jinghe asked, puzzled. It was already quite late; why were they coming over instead of resting?
"I've come to see Huo Haocheng and the others." Ruan Ruan didn't say much to him. She knew that they had a lot to do and heavy tasks at this time, so she took advantage of the little time she had to come and see them, and also to give them some of the medicine she had prepared earlier.
Hearing from inside that his wife had come looking for him, Huo Haocheng told them and immediately opened the door. "Wife, what can I do for you?"
"I came over to check on you. And this, put it in your water bottle, and add one drop to every pound of water. During the rescue, just give it to anyone who needs it." Ruan Ruan took out a medicine bottle and a dropper from her pocket and handed them to Huo Haocheng. After thinking it over, she still felt it was better for the soldiers to carry this medicine with them.
Although they had made preparations for evacuation in advance, unexpected events are inevitable. Moreover, judging from the situation just now, Ruan Ruan thought there must be some people who wouldn't listen to advice and refused to leave.
It's hard to persuade someone with kind words; they're just asking for trouble. After the earthquake, soldiers like Huo Haocheng were at the forefront. There were still aftershocks of varying sizes afterward, so Ruanruan made sure each of them carried life-saving medicine, so they could not only save others in critical moments but also save themselves.
Looking at the medicine bottle in front of him, Huo Haocheng solemnly accepted it. "I understand. It's getting late, you should all go back and rest early."
Although as soldiers they are at the forefront, as doctors they also bear a heavy responsibility. They can still get a few hours of sleep now, but if an earthquake really strikes, they won't be able to rest for a while.
"Please take care of yourselves. We'll head back now." After saying this to Huo Haocheng, Ruan Ruan called over Dr. Jiang, who was talking to Gu Jinghe, and the two of them went back together.
After watching the two leave, Huo Haocheng told Gu Jinghe to inform everyone to fill their water bottles and come over to assemble. After saying that, he turned around and went into the house.
Everyone sitting in the room knew Dr. Ruan's name, but they didn't understand what kind of medicine she had just given Huo Haocheng.
"Commander Huo, what are you doing?" The mayor saw Huo Haocheng take off his water bottle as soon as he entered the room and pick up the thermos on the ground to fill it with water.
Huo Haocheng did not answer the mayor's question immediately. Instead, he filled his thermos before saying, "Mayor, Bureau Chief, Commander, please fill your thermoses first." He then placed the thermos in the middle of the table.
