Chapter 172 Chapter 172
The lieutenant had just woken up and hadn't figured out what was going on when he heard Ye Qing ask him:
"Comrade, do you have anything of that driver's?"
The lieutenant's mind was still confused at the moment. When he heard Ye Qing's question, he was at a loss for a moment and had no idea how to react.
Seeing this, Ye Qing didn't ask any more questions and started searching the lieutenant's body.
Unfortunately, this comrade had nothing on him except some scattered money, bills and his military officer ID.
Just when Ye Qing was having a headache and didn't know what to do, he saw the wild wolf king fetching a military green water bottle from somewhere and bringing it to Ye Qing's feet to ask for credit.
As soon as Ye Qing saw the water bottle, he recognized it as belonging to the young driver.
Because the water bottle was half sunken and looked a bit strange, Ye Qing had seen the boy drink water from this water bottle when he got on the bus before, so he paid special attention to it.
With the water bottle, it was easy to find people, so Ye Qing quickly spread the news of the wolf pack.
Soon, the wolves responded again, and Ye Qing immediately chased after them, wanting to use the same trick to dig the man out from under the sand dune.
But this time, what was dragged out was not a person, but a broken military vehicle that was buried deep underground.
Ye Qing was stunned.
Maybe the military vehicle and the military water bottle were stained with the scent of the young man, so the wolves mistakenly thought that Ye Qing was looking for this thing, and thus found the wrong target. Now they have found the vehicle, but there is still no trace of the man.
Ye Qing walked around the military vehicle and found that the fuel tank had cracked and the oil had almost leaked out. The vehicle must be unable to start, otherwise they would not even have to wait for rescue and could drive directly back to the base.
But no matter what, with a car, there is a place to rest, and this car is an important asset of the army. If it is really lost, it will be a loss for the base. When the rescue team comes, they can tow this broken car back. Even if it cannot be repaired, the parts can be dismantled and reused.
Ye Qing was very anxious because she didn't find anyone, but there was nothing she could do. Her personal strength was just a drop in the bucket and there was no way she could rush at this time. She could only retreat and continue to make a fire and send out a distress signal.
Fortunately, what she did was right. At around ten o'clock in the evening, the rescue team's helicopter arrived. The fire she had burned was very conspicuous in the desert, so the rescue team saw people at a glance. The plane immediately landed on the flat sand nearby, and then Ye Qing quickly helped the lieutenant onto the plane.
As for the desert wolves and vultures that had just been tamed, Ye Qing had no intention of taking them away. These guys belonged to the desert. Not to mention whether she could take them away, even if she could, it would be a problem how these guys would survive outside the desert.
So Ye Qing could only distribute the watermelons she grew to these guys as a reward, and then waved her hand and let these guys go back wherever they wanted. As for whether these beasts would start fighting again after she left, that was none of Ye Qing's business. Anyway, neither side would suffer any loss.
Escorted by helicopter, Ye Qing and the lieutenant were quickly sent to the nearest Northwest Military Hospital. At that time, there were already many people waiting anxiously in the military hospital. Ye Qing not only saw the person in charge of the 404 base, but also saw Colonel Zhang who was far away in the Jicheng Military Hospital.
When the two old comrades saw Ye Qing return safely, they rushed up and grabbed Ye Qing's arms, and were so excited that they almost shed tears.
"Okay, okay, I'm glad you're back!"
How could they not be excited? After hearing the news that Ye Qing had been caught in a sandstorm while being escorted out of the base and had lost contact, the two of them felt as if the sky had fallen.
Doctor Ye is the savior of hundreds of researchers at the 404 base, and the last straw that the base leaders can grasp. If anything happens to someone at their hands, they won't be able to explain to their superiors even if they take off their black veils.
Now this lesbian has been found safe and sound, which is more important than anything else.
So as soon as she arrived at the military hospital, Ye Qing was surrounded by medical staff like a national treasure panda. These people wanted to strip her naked for examination, for fear that she might have any accident.
Ye Qing didn't know whether to laugh or cry, and quickly explained:
"I'm not injured. I'm a doctor myself. I know my own body better than anyone else. Let's check on the lieutenant. He was in a coma and shock before, and I injected him with an injection to wake him up. I think he has injuries."
At this point, Ye Qing immediately asked the person in charge of the base:
"And to the driver who escorted me out of the base, I didn't find anyone in the desert. May I ask if you have rescued him?"
As soon as these words were spoken, the expressions of the person in charge of the base and Colonel Zhang instantly became solemn and serious. They shook their heads at Ye Qing, indicating that they were still looking for the person.
"This sandstorm came suddenly and was so strong that you are not the only ones trapped. Two geological expedition teams that went into the desert to investigate have also lost contact. A total of more than 30 people are lost in the desert. They are still being searched for. All the rescue teams that can be mobilized in the northwest have been sent out. So far, you two are the only ones who have been found and rescued."
Colonel Zhang explained to Ye Qing in a heavy tone.
Ye Qing's mood suddenly sank.
She wanted to ask more questions, but this matter was too serious and the two old comrades were very busy. They did not have the time to talk to Ye Qing more. Knowing that Ye Qing was not in serious trouble, they comforted Ye Qing a few more words and asked someone to take Ye Qing to the cafeteria for dinner. After dinner, they immediately arranged for a military vehicle to send Ye Qing away.
Just as Ye Qing was about to get on the car, another rescue plane came back, carrying two dying wounded soldiers from the plane. They looked seriously injured. Ye Qing didn't bother to get on the car anymore. He grabbed the silver needle box and ran towards the emergency room with the wounded soldiers.
She is a doctor, saving lives is her duty. If she leaves at such a critical moment, what is the difference between her and a deserter?
Ye Qing didn't care whether he could be of any use or not, he just rushed back first.
Sure enough, when I arrived at the emergency room, I heard the doctor inside shouting anxiously:
"This female comrade was hit in the abdomen by a heavy object, and her spleen ruptured and she is bleeding profusely. She needs surgery immediately! But where can we find a doctor who can perform this surgery right now?"
Upon hearing this, Ye Qing raised his head suddenly.
She may not be able to get involved in other things, but she is definitely experienced in spleen surgery. Previously, Li Yunbo in the village had his spleen ruptured by the owner, and it was she who performed the surgery to save him!
Ye Qing immediately shouted outside the door:
"Let me do it. I've performed this operation on people at Jiaotan County People's Hospital before!"
Of course, the doctor in the operating room would not agree to let Ye Qing perform the operation just because someone said he could, so he quickly reported the situation.
If Colonel Zhang and the person in charge of the base had not been there, Ye Qing would not have been able to prove himself for a while. After all, in the northwest, Ye Qing is not as famous as he is in Jiaotan County.
Fortunately, the two veteran comrades had seen her medical skills, and with their guarantee, the military hospital immediately agreed to let Ye Qing perform the surgery.
As expected, an expert can tell whether something is correct or not with just one move. Ye Qing's surgical skills are truly amazing. He completed the operation in less than two hours and successfully brought the patient back from the brink of death.
It was already early morning. Considering that the patient had just undergone surgery and was still in danger, Ye Qing was afraid of problems after the operation and did not dare to leave immediately. He could only find an empty bed in the next ward and lie down to sleep.
Ye Qing slept until dawn and was awakened by crying outside.
As soon as she walked out of the corridor, she saw several researchers, who were covered in dirt and looked very miserable, lying at the door of the intensive care unit next door. They were looking inside and crying together.
Just by looking at the appearance of these people, Ye Qing had already guessed that these should be the group of people from the geological expedition team that Colonel Zhang had mentioned before, who were trapped in the desert. They were probably found by the rescue team while she was asleep last night.
Although these people looked like they had suffered a lot and had varying degrees of injuries on their bodies, they were basically just flesh wounds and wouldn't be a big problem if they took some time to recover.
Ye Qing was not being sarcastic. Not to mention the people in front of him, even the female researcher with a ruptured spleen who was just rescued by Ye Qing last night was lucky to have survived such a huge sandstorm.
Thinking of what Colonel Zhang said before, that there were more than thirty missing people, and seeing that there were only four or five standing at the door now, plus the two who were sent back yesterday, it must not be enough. Ye Qing couldn't help but sigh.
It has been more than ten hours since the sandstorm occurred. If we can't find anyone, the possibility of rescuing them will become increasingly slim.
She was just about to go to Colonel Zhang to ask how many people were still missing. If that didn't work, she would not go back and see if she could summon those desert wolves back to use them.
Unexpectedly, at this moment, she heard a female lesbian among the group of people crying at the door of the intensive care unit, crying and asking:
"What should we do? Captain Gu has not been found yet. If I hadn't told him that the detector had a signal, he wouldn't have separated from us. It's all my fault!"
"He also gave me the remaining food and water he had. If it weren't for those things, I wouldn't have survived until the rescue team arrived!"
As the female comrade spoke, she couldn't control her tears.
Immediately, the senior professors around her came over, patted the female comrade on the shoulder and said comfortingly:
"Don't worry, Comrade Gu Weidong is a soldier. His physical fitness and survival ability are better than ours. I believe that he will be fine!
Ye Qing had walked several meters away, but her hearing was surprisingly good. When she suddenly heard the people behind her mention the name "Gu Weidong", her steps suddenly stopped again.
She turned around abruptly and ran to those people, asking anxiously:
"How old is Gu Weidong, the person you just mentioned, and what does he look like?!"
