The boy gritted his teeth and desperately said, "I'm not afraid of pain, please save me, I don't want to become a cripple!"
After hearing his words, the doctor could only nod with a wry smile.
"Bear with it, it might hurt a bit!"
Lu Yuan found a relatively clean towel from the side and stuffed it into the other person's mouth.
"Scream if it hurts!"
The boy bit the towel tightly and nodded frantically, as if trying to encourage himself.
The doctor brought some clean water and rinsed the other person's knee. Then, wearing sterile gloves, he picked out some bone fragments from the flesh and pieced them back together.
Just as the doctor reached into the flesh to remove the bone, the boy let out a piercing scream and then fainted.
Soon after the doctor pieced the broken bones back together, and once the medication took effect, the patient's knee was basically fine.
So Lu Yuan said to the doctor next to him, "Get him some splints to stabilize his knee!"
The assistant quickly went outside and found two planks, then wrapped them around the other person's knees with bandages.
Lu Yuan then moved on to several other tents. Every time he entered a tent, his heart clenched painfully, as there were quite a few seriously injured people among them.
Lu Yuan generously fed his golden fruits to those who were seriously injured.
This time, Lu Yuan took out about a dozen golden fruits, which were all used up after visiting a few tents. Lu Yuan no longer has any golden fruits in stock.
After a short rest, Lu Yuan quickly led his men to reinforce the surrounding defenses. Since it was uncertain whether there were still unstable boulders rolling down from the mountaintop, all they could do now was to build up a rock-blocking area around the back camp.
The violent earthquake has passed, about five or six hours ago. According to incomplete statistics, more than 300 people were injured in the earthquake, and the death toll is still rising, now reaching 50.
So far, all signals in the entire camp have been cut off, and they have no idea what the situation is like outside. Radio broadcasts have also been completely blocked.
Just as everyone finished their work and was preparing lunch, Lu Yuan felt it again—a strong earthquake came from afar.
Lu Yuan stood on a high rock and looked out. He saw that the land outside the valley seemed to be slowly moving outward.
Because of the thick fog around him, Lu Yuan couldn't see very clearly. He only felt that the distant mountains were slowly moving away from him, and he didn't know what was happening there.
Lu Yuan finally jumped off the rock after his mother's desperate cries, only to be scolded by his family.
After an unknown amount of time, the fog in the sky became even thicker. Because there was not much vegetation in the back mountain, the fog was even thicker, and the visibility was no more than ten meters. Lu Yuan felt particularly uncomfortable in his lungs, as if he couldn't breathe.
A bowl of warm porridge was gently brought over. Lu Yuan shoveled it into his mouth in a few mouthfuls and then planned to go outside to take a look, but his family refused to let him go.
At this moment, Chen Bin brought over a middle-aged man. The man's hair was somewhat sparse, he was wearing a worn-out raincoat and rain boots, and he was holding a meter in his hand, the purpose of which was unknown.
"Mr. Lu, this is an expert in earthquake detection from our camp!"
Upon hearing this, Lu Yuan was overjoyed. He glanced at the men, who looked anxious, and said, "Mr. Lu, I want to check the area around our camp to assess the terrain and geology, and find out what's going on!"
Lu Yuan, absorbing the thick fog around him, said, "In this kind of weather, it's best not to go out. Let's wait until after the earthquake!"
The man persisted, saying, "A few days ago, I detected some intermittent ripples underground, but they were all within the normal range. I didn't expect them to suddenly become so strong. I think we might need to relocate here!"
Lu Yuan recalled the things he had dreamed about before. During the earthquake, there were dozens of provinces in the area where the earthquake exceeded magnitude 10. These locations divided the entire continent into several sections.
While the disaster that struck Jincheng was quite severe, Lu Yuan remembered that although an earthquake had occurred here when he moved there, it was not particularly serious compared to other areas.
But hearing what the other party said, Lu Yuan was still a little worried: "Okay, then take a few people and go take a look, but please be careful!"
The other person nodded excitedly, then glanced at Chen Bin. Chen Bin shrugged and pointed to the people beside him, saying, "You guys must protect Professor Zhu well. If it gets too dangerous up ahead, bring him back immediately. Don't risk your lives with him!"
The group nodded solemnly. Professor Zhu, somewhat impatient, grabbed his measuring tools and headed into the thick fog. Soon, they disappeared into the fog.
The earthquake continued. Due to the limited visibility, Lu Yuan felt as if the ground beneath his feet was on the ocean, with various sounds coming from beneath his feet from time to time, as if the stones underground were being crushed.
