"Honey, use that ice cube, the one that can sublimate directly!" Although she wasn't entirely sure, Bi Qiaoan's sixth sense told her that it was definitely worth a try.
Shen Yanming's eyes lit up, and he nodded, telling Bi Qiaoan to take Qi Lin to the hospital first, while he went back to get the ice cubes.
He said he was going home, but actually everything was still in his spatial storage. It's just that there were too many people here, so he couldn't take it out directly. Even with the backpack covering it, no normal person would carry ice cubes in their bag.
Amidst everyone's puzzled gazes, Shen Yanming ran off. As he passed the guards carrying the wounded towards the base hospital, he remarked, "Going to the warehouse to get the ice blocks we stockpiled earlier."
The warehouse was quite far, and he didn't expect the guards to be faster than him. But there was a lot of ice there, and they still needed it for large-scale operations.
The guards were stunned, but knowing that Shen Yanming wouldn't speak without reason, they sent someone to the warehouse.
On the way, he met Jiang Shulian and relayed Shen Yanming's words. Jiang Shulian didn't doubt it and had someone make the arrangements.
He gave a brief report to Wen Chaohui, who nodded and simply said, "Cooperate fully with Shen Yanming."
And so, without a second thought, the group began experimenting. By sheer chance, they discovered a way to prevent burns in the shortest possible time.
Of course, they don't know that yet.
Shen Yanming didn't go home. After getting away from the crowd, he found an empty building and hid inside. He reached into his backpack and took out several cans of ice cubes, some spiritual spring water, and some food full of spiritual energy. He stuffed the backpack full and then stayed where he was.
Shen Yanming was anxious, but he had only left the shelter for five minutes. If he went back now, he was afraid that by the time he got to the hospital, the injured would still be on their way. So he stayed in the building for the full five minutes before running out to the hospital.
He was incredibly fast; he was already sitting in the hospital corridor when the injured finally arrived. Qi Lin was stunned when he saw him. He wanted to ask something, but felt he couldn't voice his concerns, so he suppressed his doubts.
Shen Yanming didn't waste any words. He took out a clean gauze towel and two cans of ice cubes from his backpack. He had Qi Lin lie face down on the hospital bed, covered his back with the gauze towel, and then put four or five ice cubes on top of him.
Qi Lin didn't know why Shen Yanming had covered him with a gauze, assuming it was to prevent Nuan Nuan from seeing his body. Little did he know, Shen Yanming simply didn't know if the gauze could directly touch the wound.
At first, Qi Lin didn't feel anything, but gradually, he felt the temperature on his back dropping.
The burning pain inside was gradually subsiding. The skin outside was slowly returning to its normal temperature.
Although the rate of decrease wasn't very fast, Qi Lin was very perceptive. After confirming that he hadn't made a mistake, he grabbed Shen Yanming's arm and said, "Uncle Shen, this thing works. I feel my body temperature dropping, and I feel much more comfortable."
Shen Yanming nodded, instructed Bi Qiaoan to keep an eye on things from the side, and then left.
There were so many injured people in the accident that everyone rushed to the hospital. However, the doctors and nurses didn't have many effective methods; their treatment of patients was slow and ineffective.
Many people were skeptical when Shen Yanming said that ice cubes had miraculous effects. The doctors shook their heads: "This stuff hasn't been tested. If it contains bacteria, it could cause sepsis."
The wounded who were on the verge of fainting didn't think so much. They tugged at Shen Yanming's clothes and said, "Give me, let me try it. I'm willing. It hurts too much! Even if I die, it's okay. I don't want to be in so much pain."
Shen Yanming looked up at the doctor: "That heat may be well over 100 degrees Celsius, and it will penetrate directly from the surface to the inside. If no measures are taken, they won't last long at all. Extraordinary measures are needed in extraordinary times; you can't hesitate like this."
The doctor bit his lip, unsure of what to do.
"Let me try it. I'm afraid of pain, but not of death." This patient had extensive burns all over his body, especially his cheeks, which were completely ruined.
Shen Yanming sighed, grabbed the gauze from the nurse's hand, spread it on the patient's face, and then placed two ice packs on either side.
"Try it and see if it works."
Looking up at the doctor, he said, "The ice cubes don't come into direct contact with the skin. They can sublimate, and sublimation absorbs heat, which should reduce the chance of infection."
The doctor paused, then nodded mechanically. He thought to himself that this was none of his business, and even if someone were to be held responsible, he shouldn't be the one to take the blame.
Wen Chaohui had just arrived at the hospital when he witnessed this scene. He quickly stepped forward, bent down, and asked the patient who had been used as a guinea pig, "How is it? Is it effective?"
The patient felt less pain in his cheek and excitedly said, "Yes, it works! It's not as hot anymore."
"Alright, then take good care of your injury. Don't worry, the base has plenty of ice blocks, enough for everyone." After saying that, he stood up, waved his hand, and the guards behind him brought over the ice blocks.
"If I use this method on the patient, I will bear all the consequences," Wen Chaohui said with great arrogance.
Shen Yanming smiled and whispered in his ear, "Wen Mengguan, I can brew some medicine to boost immunity and help with the treatment."
Wen Chaohui had no doubts, nodded, and instructed the hospital director to cooperate with Shen Yanming's actions.
The person in charge, knowing that Lao Shen possessed an ancient formula, happily agreed.
He thought it was good to have foreign aid, so that he wouldn't have so much pressure or have to shoulder too much responsibility.
Inside the hospital, the rescue operation proceeded smoothly. Shen Yanming greeted Wen Mengguan and then went to find Zhang Heping.
There's a little one in that family; I don't know if he escaped. And there's Old Ji's family—a woman with a child; I don't know if he's injured.
Lost in thought, I wasn't paying attention and almost bumped into someone while turning the corner. Looking closer, I realized it was An'an, who was still holding onto the injured male classmate.
"Dad!" An'an called out anxiously.
Shen Yanming nodded, ignoring him, and looked at Miao Ruzong: "How are you? Are you seriously injured?"
Miao Ruzong smiled and said, "Thank you, Uncle. I'm fine. The doctor said I was very lucky that my eyeball wasn't injured. Once the wounds on my eyelids and the corners of my eyes heal, I can remove the bandages. It's just that the wounds are a bit deep, so they might leave a scar."
"That's good, it's a blessing in disguise. Take care of yourself, I have something to do, so I'll be going now."
After saying that, he stopped smiling and looked at An'an: "Take your classmate home and go home early."
An'an nodded: "I understand, Dad!"
After Shen Yanming left, Miao Ruzong watched his retreating figure with great envy. He smiled and asked An'an, "Your dad is so cool! Do you know what he went to do?"
"I don't know." An'an guessed, but he felt there was no need to say. He turned to Miao Ruzong and asked, "Where do you live? I'll take you home."
Miao Ruzong's eyes flickered, and he lowered his head, saying, "My parents are very busy, they can't take care of me, could I...?"
An'an interrupted him before he could finish: "Sector A or Sector B?"
Knowing he couldn't stay at the Shen family's house, Miao Ruzong said with a wronged tone, "I don't know if they're home in Block B."
