Chapter 119 Death
After several months of absence, Su Qing once again came to the Xinjing base in the capital.
The humming sound of the helicopter propeller broke the tranquility of the evening. Su Qing gripped the joystick tightly and pushed the throttle to the maximum. The helicopter flew forward in the air like an arrow.
Soon the helicopter flew over the capital. After questioning, it was allowed to land on the military zone's helipad. After it came to a complete stop, a soldier came up to inspect it. Su Qing quickly walked from the driver's seat to the cabin, grabbed someone and asked, "Where are Qin Yu and the others?"
After listening to Fang Qing's words, she hurriedly flew a helicopter to the capital. During the flight, she contacted Qin Yu, but there was only a busy tone in the headset. Then she contacted Chen Kuo, Qingshan, and Dongzi, but there was no response from any of them. The busy tone sounded again and again, and she had a bad premonition.
The soldiers all knew Su Qing's identity and didn't hide it. They told her, "Commander Qin and his men are seriously injured and are currently receiving treatment at the military hospital."
Su Qing's face turned pale, and after the examination, she asked them to take her to the military hospital.
The soldiers sent someone to drive her to the hospital entrance quickly. Before the car stopped completely, Su Qing opened the door, jumped out and walked quickly into the hospital.
The military hospital was in chaos, with countless doctors and nurses running back and forth. Su Qing rushed in and was confused for a moment when he saw the scene.
She wanted to pull someone over to ask where Qin Yu and the others were, but everyone was in a hurry without stopping at all.
The soldier who was driving the car parked and ran in from outside to Su Qing's side. He panted slightly and said, "Su... Miss Su, I know where Commander Qin and the others are. Come with me."
The soldier took Su Qing through the hospital, and the two soon came to an isolation area.
Densely packed people in senior military officer uniforms stood like statues on both sides of the corridor, all eyes fixed on the operating rooms at the end of the corridor. Nurses pushed carts loaded with blood bags and medical equipment back and forth in the middle of the corridor from time to time, their pristine white clothes soaked with dark red blood stains.
Su Qing walked forward step by step to the operating room. When he arrived at the door, he saw Commander Qin, Qin Ming, Li Song and other top military generals sitting in their chairs with expressionless faces.
The air seemed to freeze, and even the breathing sounded particularly heavy. Su Qing's eyes swept across the stern faces of the generals one by one. They either closed their eyes or stared at the closed door of the operating room.
She took a deep breath, suppressed the anxiety in her heart, and asked in a low voice: "What's the situation?"
Her voice broke the silence. Everyone looked at Su Qing, but no one answered her immediately. After a few seconds, Qin Ming said in a deep voice, "They're still trying to save him."
Rescue... rescue, who are they? Commander-in-Chief Qin and the others are here, so could there be someone inside...
Su Qing suppressed the anxiety in his heart and said nothing more.
She stood at the door, her clenched hands full of sweat, her eyes fixed on the heavy operating room doors, as if she could see through them the scene of many doctors inside working hard to save the patient around the operating table.
Time seemed to be stretched out, every second seemed as long as a year. The air was filled with the thick smell of blood, mixed with the unique smell of disinfectant in the hospital, shrouding the entire space in a suffocating depression.
After an unknown amount of time, the door of one of the operating rooms slowly opened, and a beam of white light leaked out from inside. Along with the tired and heavy footsteps of the doctor, everyone's eyes were cast over at once, and the air froze again.
Commander Qin and his men stood up instantly and took a few steps closer.
The doctor was covered in blood. Facing Commander Qin's hopeful gaze, he shook his head stiffly, "Commander, we tried our best..."
Commander Qin's body shook and he almost lost his balance, and was quickly supported by Qin Ming beside him.
The doctor moved aside and quickly pushed a hospital bed cart out. The figure on it was covered with white cloth, leaving only the head exposed. The face was covered with blood and could not be distinguished for a moment.
Su Qing closed her eyes, her eyelashes trembling constantly, and she didn't dare to open her eyes to look over. Her fingertips dug deep into her palms, but she couldn't suppress the trembling that kept surging from her heart. Her throat seemed to be strangled by the cold hands, making it difficult for her to breathe.
"He must have taken some very effective medication, which is why he managed to come back. However... the shock wave from the explosion caused serious damage to his internal organs. We... are really powerless." The doctor's words echoed in the corridor, and he hurried back to the operating room.
Due to limited space in the operating room, multiple people were performing rescue operations at the same time in one room, and he had to go back to continue helping to rescue others.
"Mu Dong...our Qin family owes you a life..." Qin Ming's choked voice came.
Su Qing suddenly opened his eyes, and the person before him was not the one he had imagined...
Mu Dong's familiar outline came into view. His wheat-colored face now looked pale under the incandescent light. His eyes, which used to be full of smiles, were tightly closed. His lips were as pale as gold paper, and thick bloodstains remained at the corners of his cracked mouth. He lay silently on the bed.
It's been almost a year since I came into this world, and this is the first time someone I know has died in front of me.
Su Qing didn't know many people here, and even though they didn't interact much on a daily basis...
Tears suddenly flowed down.
Facing death, she could do nothing...
She remembered that when Qin Yu and the others were leaving, Dongzi had joked with her, saying that after completing the mission, he would go to the Shuguang Base to feast for three days, and hoped that Su Qing would give him a discount for the sake of their boss...
Now she can no longer wait for him to go to the Dawn Base...
Qin Tianjiang, with grief in his eyes, stretched out his hand to cover Dongzi's face with a white cloth, then raised his hand and saluted him. The bed was slowly pushed away, and orderly footsteps were heard in the corridor. All the officers stood solemnly and saluted Mu Dong.
After that, the corridor became unusually quiet again... A sad atmosphere lingered around, and everyone continued to wait... waiting for other comrades who were being rescued in the operating room.
Afterwards, people were pushed out from time to time. Some were successfully rescued, while others failed. Su Qing saw a few familiar people again. Shen Kuo and Qing Shan were pushed out unconscious and then sent to the intensive care unit. Tang Bai and Gao Xing, who had met him before, were also seriously injured and unconscious and were pushed out. However, their deputy captain Chen Sida could not be rescued...
They all suffered serious internal injuries from the shock wave of the explosion, and even with Su Qing's magical medicine, he was unable to save their lives.
She pondered with the system for a while, exchanged out all the medicines that might be used, and then handed them over to the medical staff, asking them to use them on the rescued wounded and do their part.
Gradually, only one operating room was left with one operation being performed, and the patient being rescued was... Qin Yu.
While waiting, Su Qing learned the whole story from Qin Ming and others.
In view of the information sent back by Su Qing and his team after their previous visit to City G, the military conducted a focused investigation into it. All available satellites in the sky took pictures of City G, and finally confirmed that its leader was in collusion with the zombies, and the entire City G base had become a zombie lair.
Later, with Daniel's confession, the military decided to send an elite special forces team to the G city base to go deep behind enemy lines to find out the internal situation and take them down in one fell swoop.
Qin Yu led a special forces team of more than 60 elite people to City G. After several months of investigation, they finally sent a signal a few days ago that they were ready to evacuate.
After that, no one knew what happened in City G, but a fierce conflict suddenly broke out between the two sides. The military dispatched several bombers and thousands of personnel, who risked their lives to rescue the people.
However, only half of the people were rescued, and all of them were seriously injured.
Time passed by bit by bit, and the people in the corridor changed one after another. Commander-in-Chief Qin was persuaded by everyone to take a rest. Li Song and others went to visit the wounded who were sent out of the emergency room. Only Su Qing and Qin Ming were left sitting on the chairs waiting.
Su Qing lowered her head, and her vision suddenly darkened. She slowly raised her head and saw Lu Chen looking at her with a worried look on his face. "I heard you've been here for a few hours. Let me take you to rest for a while."
Su Qing shook her head, "No need."
She just wants to wait here...
A complicated emotion flashed in Lu Chen's eyes. He stopped trying to persuade her and turned to sit next to Su Qing, waiting with her.
As early morning approached, the door of the operating room was finally opened.
Su Qing's heart skipped a beat as the door opened, and she stared at the door.
A hospital bed cart was slowly pushed out.
Everyone breathed a sigh of relief when they saw the hospital bed.
Qin Ming strode forward and held onto the fence beside the bed, shouting in a trembling voice: "Qin Yu..."
"Captain Qin, Commander Qin is still unconscious. We need to send him to the intensive care unit for observation." The doctor who followed him said hurriedly, "He was protected during the explosion. His internal organs aren't seriously damaged, just his brain. He needs to be kept under observation..."
Su Qing saw that Qin Yu had gauze wrapped around his head and his entire body, and he looked very miserable.
Everyone followed the bed and moved. Su Qing took a step forward and someone grabbed one of his wrists.
She turned and looked over.
Lu Chen let go and looked down at the tearful man in front of him. "He's out safely. You can't do anything by staying here." He pointed at the officers following the bed and said, "Besides, these people won't leave. Come with me to eat something first. You can't take it if you haven't eaten for so long."
Su Qing flipped his hand, and a rice ball appeared in his hand, "I have food."
Seeing this, Lu Chen smiled bitterly, "I just want you to rest for a while..."
Seeing Qin Yu's bed gradually being pushed away and out of sight, Su Qing's eyes were filled with anxiety. "I have been sitting here all the time and there is nothing to rest for. There is no place here that needs you. You should go back first." After that, she left quickly.
Lu Chen stood there watching the figure going away, laughed at himself, and then slowly followed behind.
