However, in this life, because of Zhang Yumei's advance warning, the damage caused by the blizzard was indeed less than in the previous life.
Because in the previous life, even if people noticed the blizzard before it came, the various departments were not prepared at that time, and the damage caused by the blizzard was very huge.
Thanks to Zhang Yumei's advance warning, schools had already suspended classes for two weeks. Factories also halted operations, and the power department began improving electricity supply in various areas two weeks before the storm arrived. Even the rural areas were working overtime to prepare for the storm.
Therefore, when this snowstorm hit, the number of collapsed houses was not as high as in the previous life, the snow on the roads did not hinder people's movement as in the previous life, and even the power supply problem did not occur. Of course, not all places obeyed the orders, and accidents did happen.
In the family compound, Zhang Yumei looked at the harsh environment of heavy snow from inside the house. She was not afraid, but felt happy instead.
Because the blizzard has come, Qin Zheng's life is about to end.
A few days before the storm, Qin Zheng followed the orders of his superiors and went to a more remote rural area. Xu Zhiyi also stayed in the hospital during this period, following the instructions and being on standby at any time.
In the hospital office, Xu Zhiyi looked at the scene outside the window and shivered all over.
Outside the window, the wind was biting cold, and the snowflakes were as sharp as needles. The heavy snow covered the distant mountains, trees, and houses in a sea of white. The roar of the wind and snow, accompanied by the howling cold wind, made people shudder. Xu Zhiyi looked at the land in the distance covered by thick snow and couldn't help but worry about Qin Zheng who was carrying out his mission.
Xu Zhiyi and Qin Zheng were on different missions. Xu Zhiyi went to a rural area near the army, where there were few accidents, so Xu Zhiyi stayed in the hospital on standby. Qin Zheng, on the other hand, went to a remote rural area.
In remote rural areas, there's a saying that goes, "Poverty and bad water breed unruly people." Xu Zhiyi knew what life was like for the people in remote rural areas, and he also understood the predicament Qin Zheng and his team faced. Even with doctors and nurses from the military hospital accompanying them, Xu Zhiyi couldn't help but worry.
That night, Xu Zhiyi had lost count of how many days it was that he had been resting in the hospital. He looked out the window at the dark sky and listened to the howling northeast wind. The sound of the wind was like a sharp sword in his hand, capable of piercing through tough buildings.
Just like that, Xu Zhiyi slowly fell into sleep accompanied by the roar outside the window. However, just when Xu Zhiyi was about to fall asleep, he was suddenly awakened by the ringing of the phone on the table.
Xu Zhiyi didn't dare to pause and immediately picked up the phone, "Hello, I'm Xu Zhiyi."
I don’t know what the person on the other end of the phone said, but as Xu Zhiyi listened to what the person said, his face gradually darkened, and even the hands that Xu Zhiyi was holding the phone began to tremble.
After Xu Zhiyi hung up the phone, she hurried to the conference room. When she arrived, she saw that the conference room was full of people. After Xu Zhiyi found her seat, she sat down.
As soon as Xu Zhiyi sat down, the dean and others hurried in. As soon as the dean and others came in, everyone fell silent.
The dean looked at Xu Zhiyi and sighed, "We just received a call. The team of soldiers in charge of remote rural areas has disappeared. Even the doctors and nurses sent by our hospital have disappeared."
As soon as these words were spoken, everyone started to panic and whispered to each other. Some people even looked at Xu Zhiyi, only to see that Xu Zhiyi's face was shivering and his hands were clenched tightly.
The dean sighed and said, "The reason we gathered you so late is because the army needs to send people to look for them. And to be on the safe side, we also need to send people from our hospital to rescue them.
I know this snowstorm has everyone in a state of panic. From before the storm until now, everyone has worked incredibly hard, and everyone has done their best. But now is the moment, and we must make a decision immediately to follow the team into the mountains to search for and rescue people.
So, is there anyone who would like to volunteer to go?"
As soon as the words fell, Xu Zhiyi immediately stood up and said to the dean, "Dean, I'll apply."
When Xu Zhiyi stood up, the dean's eyes looked her over thoroughly, but he finally shook his head and said, "No, Director Xu, you can't go."
Xu Zhiyi immediately asked back, "Director, why? Director, am I not a member of the hospital? Why can others go, but I can't? Director, I apply to go. Please approve my application. If you don't agree, please give me an explanation, give everyone an explanation, why they can go, but I can't?"
The political commissar said in embarrassment: "Director Xu, please stop forcing the dean. The dean has his own reasons for doing this.
Director Xu, your surgical skills are evident to all. With you here, we all have a backbone, which is why the director disagrees with your going to the remote rural area.
We cannot destroy a forest because of one tree, and we cannot ignore all rural areas because of one rural area.
The reason the director assigned you to a rural area close to the military base is precisely this: to ensure you can return to the hospital within a limited timeframe, to ensure a balance between rural and urban life, and to ensure that if there are any difficult or complicated cases within the hospital, you can return as quickly as possible, buying time for the patient and allowing surgery to be performed as quickly as possible."
Xu Zhiyi said again: "First of all, I am very sure that the dean, the political commissar and all the leaders in the hospital have affirmed my ability.
Dean, I do have selfish motives behind this application. But as a doctor, whether in remote villages or those close to the military, they share the same blood as us, and they come from the same place as us. We are all from the same country, and there is no distinction between high and low. We cannot abandon them just because of the forest. So, Dean, please let me go."
