"Your father was leading a transport team to the energy storage base to deliver diesel fuel today when he was unfortunately attacked by thugs. He is currently receiving emergency treatment at the shelter!"
Beanna said calmly.
Upon hearing this news, Xia Yuhe was struck dumb, her body trembled violently, and her face turned deathly pale.
"Ah! My dad..."
She tried to say something, but her throat seemed to be blocked, and she couldn't make a sound. The next moment, everything went black, and she fainted.
"Brother, sister has fainted!"
Xiuxiu shouted in a panic.
Seeing this, Ye Lei quickly stepped on the brakes, producing a screeching sound.
"Screech..." After the car came to a stop, he called out, "Xiuxiu, sit in the front. Thank you for your hard work, Anna!" After switching seats, Ye Lei started the car again.
After a quick examination, Beanna found that Xia Yuhe had only fainted due to the shock and was otherwise unharmed.
"Sister Yuhe, Sister Yuhe..."
Beanna called out softly, while simultaneously extending her fingers to press hard on Xia Yuhe's philtrum acupoint.
After a long while, Xia Yuhe finally slowly opened her eyes and woke up.
"Sister Anna, is my dad still alive?"
Having just woken up, Xia Yuhe disregarded her weakness and anxiously grabbed Beanna's hand, asking with her eyes full of worry.
"Yuhe, don't worry. When we left, your father was still being treated. You have to be strong, okay?"
"I see!"
Xia Yuhe tried hard to control the turmoil in her heart and calm her emotions. She knew she couldn't collapse before seeing her father, so she forced herself to stay strong.
Beanna, who was standing nearby, kindly handed over a bottle of water. Xia Yuhe gratefully accepted it and drank a couple of sips, immediately feeling a slight improvement in her condition.
"Brother Lei, can you drive a little faster?"
Xia Yuhe was extremely anxious. Every second of waiting felt like an eternity. She couldn't bear the torment and fear gripped her heart—she was afraid she wouldn't make it in time to see her father one last time.
"Okay, I understand!"
Ye Lei responded by glancing at the speedometer and noticing that it had reached 80 mph, but he stepped on the gas without hesitation, and the speed instantly soared to 90 mph.
The vehicle's exceptional performance was on full display as it effortlessly traversed one ordinary garbage dump after another, leaving only a pile of debris flying freely in the air.
Upon arriving at the shelter entrance, the sentries guarding the gate spotted Ye Lei's car from afar and immediately cleared the roadblocks. The Mercedes SUV drove directly into the shelter, leaving long skid marks more than a meter long.
"dad!"
Xia Yuhe jumped out of the car, shouted at the top of her lungs, and then ran frantically toward the shelter.
With the concerted efforts of medical staff and soldiers, Xia Yuhe was quickly transferred to the intensive care unit, while the rescue of Xia Fujun had already come to an end.
After completing the simple disinfection process, Xia Yuhe put on a spotless protective suit, rushed into the room without looking back, and collapsed next to Xia Fujun, whose eyes were closed. Tears streamed down her face like a burst dam, and she sobbed uncontrollably.
"Daughter, you've finally arrived!"
The one speaking was Xia Yuhe's mother, who was sitting on the other side.
"Mom, how is Dad?"
"The doctor has already performed surgery on him, but he hasn't woken up yet!"
"What did the doctor say?"
"The doctor said your dad's injuries are too severe, and whether he can wake up depends entirely on himself."
After Xia Yuhe's mother finished speaking, she let out a soft sigh.
"Dad, wake up! I've come to see you!"
"Dad, your daughter is unfilial; I'm too late!"
"Dad, open your eyes and look at me!"
"Dad, I am your daughter Xia Yuhe!"
…………
Such continuous and heartfelt calls actually help the patient in the hospital bed to wake up from the coma as soon as possible. The doctor standing by witnessed this scene but did not step forward to stop or stop it.
At this moment, Ye Lei and Beanna also arrived outside the intensive care unit.
They gazed through the glass window at Xia Yuhe, who was heartbroken inside, and felt a pang of sorrow in their hearts. Since the end of the world, they had never witnessed such a moving scene.
"You've arrived!"
The speaker was Bei Tianrui, who had appeared behind Ye Lei and the others at some point.
"Uncle Bei, what exactly is going on?"
Although Ye Lei had seen death many times, Xia Fujun was just the director of the Energy Administration Bureau. He wouldn't kill anyone. Who would be so ruthless?
"According to the people who escaped with him, when they went to the energy storage base, they saw someone stealing diesel fuel inside. Xia Fujun stepped forward to stop them, and that's when he was murdered!"
"Who are they? Do you know?"
"They said they were a group of thugs who claimed to be scavengers!"
Scavengers? What kind of organization is that? I've never heard of it before. Ye Lei was full of questions.
What do scavengers do?
“We hadn’t heard of this before, but after this incident, with the assistance of the military, we have gained a preliminary understanding of them.”
"Who exactly are these people?"
"Actually, they were just some survivors who formed a scavenger alliance to exchange supplies with each other. Their goal was to use the resources they had to exchange for the resources they needed with others."
"But what does this have to do with Director Xia?"
