"It doesn't seem to be working yet, I'll press it again!"
One of the militiamen pulled the exhausted captain aside and took over the CPR.
After pressing the button for about a minute, Secretary Liu coughed softly.
"She's awake! She's awake! Stop pressing!"
When everyone saw that Secretary Liu was slowly breathing again and had opened his eyes, they all breathed a sigh of relief.
"That must have taken at least seven or eight minutes, it's truly a miracle!"
"Master Zhou, we've saved the person."
When Secretary Liu woke up, the atmosphere at the scene finally became less tense, and everyone joked with each other. At this time, someone went to inspect the embankment and confirmed that there was no further piping.
"It's possible that Secretary Liu went down to block the pipe with the sandbags next to him just now."
"Stop talking, let's get him to the hospital first."
After some discussion, the group hurriedly carried Secretary Liu to the clinic.
By this time, the clinic had received a large number of drowning patients, and the makeshift wards could no longer accommodate beds. The doctors and nurses placed Secretary Liu directly on a stretcher in the corridor. After confirming that he was out of danger, they prescribed antibiotics to clear his lungs and prevent infection.
At this time, Chen Dong had already received the news and rushed over from the resettlement area.
"What's going on? Secretary Liu went into the water himself?" Chen Dong arrived at the clinic and immediately questioned Zhou Shifu, "There are so many people at the hydrological station who know how to swim, why didn't you let them go into the water, but made someone as old as Secretary Liu go into the water?"
Master Zhou had a long face. "I went to the hydrological station for help, but there was no one there. If I hadn't stumbled upon the militia's temporary rest area, we still wouldn't know where they were."
Seeing the tear-streaked face of Master Zhou, Afang figured he had learned his lesson. She gently tugged at Chen Dong's sleeve, "Alright, he's alright now, isn't he?"
They walked over to Secretary Liu's side and saw that he had fallen into a deep sleep after receiving his IV drip. Chen Dong was still a little worried, so he grabbed a nurse and asked anxiously, "Nurse, how is Secretary Liu? Is he in any danger?"
"There is no immediate danger."
Upon hearing this, Chen Dong became anxious. Secretary Liu was the first new face he had met since arriving in Poyang Lake County, and he had the people's well-being at heart. He had witnessed everything Secretary Liu had done for flood relief and disaster relief in Poyang Lake County. "What do you mean by 'temporarily no danger'?"
The nurse sighed helplessly. "There's a lot of filth in the water. He's been submerged for several minutes, and his stomach and lungs are filled with dirty water. If no infection develops within two days, there's no danger. But if an infection occurs and can't be controlled..."
“Our clinic has limited resources, so I advise you to transfer him to a larger hospital as soon as possible.”
At this time, Poyang Lake County had already experienced two large-scale dike breaches, cutting off transportation lines. If they wanted to transfer Secretary Liu to a major hospital, they would have to use a car to carry him across the bumpy roads.
Chen Dong glanced at Secretary Liu's condition and said to Master Zhou and Afang, "Secretary Liu absolutely cannot leave here now. Although the clinic has limited resources, it is still a place where we can find doctors and medicines. If we move him and something happens on the way, none of us can bear the responsibility."
He immediately instructed Afang's assistant, "Find a communications station right now, take my phone, and call Zhou Huimin. Ask her to bring over some experienced doctors from Pengcheng or somewhere else."
"By the way, make sure they bring the emergency medical supplies we've prepared. If they can also bring the equipment along, that would be even better."
"clear."
