Chapter 111 Qingji and the Hospital
Night Wind was severely injured; his back was almost torn open. The black bear's explosive power was immense, and its sharp claws nearly pierced through Night Wind...
The moment the black bear collapsed, Ye Feng's tense nerves relaxed, and he could barely stand up...
Su Yun rushed over and helped him into the carriage. Seeing Ye Feng nearly faint, she anxiously repeated over and over, "Hang in there! Hang in there, Ye Feng! We'll be in the city soon!!!"
Su Yun twisted the throttle of the motorcycle to the floor, and the dilapidated tricycle almost flew off the old road.
......
Qingji still has a deep impression of that rainy night; it was originally just a quiet rainy night...
Qingji still remembers that night, that early winter night, the temperature was unusually low, and the pattering rain hit the glass of the duty room, turning into blurry watermarks...
The quiet rainy night often brings a sense of weariness. Just as she was feeling tired and drowsy, a loud and loud car noise suddenly broke the silence.
"Thump—rumble—"
That was the sound of a car engine, exceptionally loud in the quiet night.
It instantly swept away her weariness.
The sound of the car grew closer and louder...
"Ding ding ding—" The alarm bell at the gate was triggered instantly, and the sound reached the duty room. The city gate went into alert mode. Qing Ji subconsciously grabbed the dagger in her hand, put on her raincoat, and went out to check the situation.
Just as she reached the city gate watchtower, a dark, dilapidated tricycle that looked like it was about to fall apart rushed into the waiting passage.
"Who goes there?" The burly rhinoceros guard shouted, gripping his gun and holding a megaphone.
All the guards watched the suddenly arriving vehicle with bated breath.
Even she couldn't help but frown, staring intently at the car. When the city was first built, the opposition forces were in the same situation, attempting to attack the city countless times. So... everyone was very tense, with guns pointed at the broken car, each holding their breath.
However, the imagined enemy did not appear...
A thin, frail figure stumbled and fell off the tricycle.
The disheveled girl, her face streaked with tears, cried out anxiously in the rain, "We're not enemies, I mean no harm! My companion and I encountered a mutated black bear, and my companion is injured. We've come for help! My companion is seriously injured! Please save him! I beg you!"
The girl looked flustered, her hands were trembling, and her voice was hoarse, but she tried her best to keep her body still and clearly and loudly stated her purpose for seeking help.
"I am a law-abiding citizen, my name is Su Yun, I am registered in the system, and I will cooperate with the inspection. But please, could you please save my companion first? We encountered a mutated bear, and he is seriously injured! His condition is very bad! Please!"
It was her.
Qingji recognized an acquaintance... Entering the city usually requires strict checks and inspections to prevent berserk or zombie-like individuals from sneaking in...
The guards were on high alert and prepared to go up and check the situation.
Qingji recognized the person and immediately took the protective suit, saying, "This is my friend. Let me go with you to check out the situation."
The guards saw that it was Qing Ji, nodded, and agreed.
After checking the injuries of the two people and the condition of the car, it can be basically confirmed that what the other party said is true.
Seeing the disheveled and anxious Su Yun, and the orc covered in blood, Qing Ji frowned and then instructed, "Put them in the isolation room first, and contact the on-duty doctor immediately! I'll give them a quick check to make sure there's no sign of mutation."
"Okay." The chief liaison officer immediately called someone to make the arrangements.
So, Ye Feng, covered in blood, was carried to the isolation room.
Running frantically, Su Yun only had time to give him the most basic hemostasis.
Even so, by the time they reached the city, Ye Feng's clothes were already half-stained red.
Qingji cut open Yefeng's clothes, revealing even more shocking wounds underneath. The mutated bear had inflicted deep wounds and various other bloody scars...
Tears blurred Su Yun's vision, but she still forced herself to remain calm and asked in a trembling voice, "Is there any sign of infection? If not, can we arrange surgery as soon as possible?"
Qingji took a deep look at the unusually strong girl, then quickly checked Yefeng's pulse, heartbeat, and pupil characteristics... before turning to the liaison officer and saying, "No mutation tendency. Arrange for the nearest operating room for emergency surgery. Do your best, oh no, you absolutely must save him!"
Liaison officer: "The doctor is on duty and can start the surgery immediately."
Ye Feng was moved to the nearest hospital to begin surgery.
After undergoing a thorough physical examination, Su Yun rushed to the operating room.
Bags of blood plasma were being delivered into the operating room, the nurses' hurried steps tugging at Su Yun's nerves.
Su Yun paced back and forth, sitting down and getting up repeatedly, then forcing herself to calm down.
Even though their own situation wasn't much better.
Seeing the anxious girl, Qingji couldn't help but speak up: "Why don't we treat your wound first?"
In fact, Su Yun also had quite a few scrapes and cuts from falls... He was covered in mud, and the cigarette ash didn't make him look much better...
But Su Yun's eyes were fixed on the operating room, and she shook her head. "I'm fine. Just leave the money for Ye Feng's treatment..."
Qingji sighed and remained silent.
The rainy night was both quiet and noisy. The rain poured down, blocking out all other sounds, leaving only the emptiness and loneliness of the hospital corridor.
Su Yun kept forcing herself to calm down, to stop thinking about anything else, but her mind kept replaying the battle. If only she had discovered this method sooner, if only she were stronger...
Su Yun's mind was in complete chaos, but her eyes were fixed on the operating room... closely watching every move inside.
As dawn broke, the tightly closed doors of the operating room were pushed open again.
The doctor came out looking exhausted. "The surgery was a success. The bleeding has stopped, and the patient is out of danger. Now it's up to him to recover..."
Su Yun's dazed eyes immediately lit up. "That's great! Thank you, doctor!"
Qingji smiled happily, "Thank you for your help, Dr. Li."
When Ye Feng was wheeled out of the operating room, and Su Yun saw with her own eyes that Ye Feng was safe and sound, Su Yun's body went limp and she fainted. It turned out that seeing Ye Feng out of danger, Su Yun's tense nerves finally relaxed, and she could no longer hold on and fainted...
Qingji quickly reached out and caught the girl's limp body, calling for help: "Quick, someone come and help..."
The doctor quickly stepped forward to examine her: "She must have been overworked and passed out... Give her an IV drip of glucose and she'll be fine after some rest."
Qingji sighed helplessly, "Oh dear, another one has fallen..."
The next day, when Su Yun woke up again, he was stunned to see the hospital’s white ceiling. But then he suddenly realized that they had encountered a mutated bear!
How's the night breeze?!
The thought suddenly popped into her head, and driven by it, she sat up abruptly.
They didn't even bother with their shoes before running outside.
When Qingji returned with her food, she bumped into Su Yun, who was rushing out. She quickly reached out and stopped her, asking, "Where are you going?"
Su Yun didn't answer her question. Instead, she asked anxiously, "Where's Ye Feng? Where is Ye Feng?"
Seeing the anxious girl, Qingji's eyes narrowed instinctively. She reassured her, "Don't worry, don't worry, come back with me." As she spoke, Qingji calmed the girl down and led her back to the ward. Reaching out to pull back the curtain of the next room, she said helplessly, "Yefeng is right next door, isn't he? He's fine, don't worry..."
As the familiar sleeping face came into view in the night breeze, Su Yun's heart slowly calmed down.
Su Yun rushed to the bedside and checked on the other person's condition.
The other person was out of danger and was lying in bed sleeping peacefully. The thin sunlight shone through the window onto his pale face, making him look particularly vulnerable.
Su Yun cautiously reached out to touch him, even though the other person didn't seem to be in good condition...
However, the pulse was steady and strong.
Thinking about it, Su Yun withdrew her hand in a daze. Suddenly, she raised her hand to touch her heartbeat, then brought her hand to her mouth and bit herself hard. The pain, along with the heartbeat, was clearly transmitted to her senses, confirming that it was not a dream.
Her panicked emotions gradually calmed down.
"Thank goodness, thank goodness, Ye Feng is really alright, thank goodness." She murmured to herself, tears streaming down her face again uncontrollably.
Qingji noticed her anxiety and gently comforted her, "Don't worry, we orcs aren't that fragile. As long as we catch our breath and don't die on the spot, we'll basically be fine. Besides, the doctor has already stitched up his wounds..."
"Thank you... Qingji..." Hearing the gentle tone of the other person, Su Yun turned to look at the person beside her. Qingji had been traveling with her all night, and her face showed signs of fatigue, with her meticulously styled hair now somewhat disheveled...
"Thank you... thank you..." Su Yun said gratefully, thanking him repeatedly.
Seeing the girl's tearful gratitude, Qingji wasn't good at saying anything polite. She simply placed the food she had prepared next to her and said, "Eat something first. You've been working hard for a day and a night."
Su Yun held Ye Feng's hand tightly, looking at his pale face, as if he might leave her at any moment. Only by feeling his heartbeat could she feel a little at ease.
Looking at the two people in front of me with their hands tightly clasped together.
Qingji sighed silently. Having gone through so much, in this apocalyptic world, true friendship is always precious, whether in the past or present...
Especially after experiencing so much evil, friendship becomes all the more precious. However... Qingji couldn't help but sigh again. No matter how good or beautiful the friendship is, fate is always cold and ruthless.
No matter how deep the bond, it may be worn down by reality. Only by constantly becoming stronger can we protect the bonds in our hearts.
Qingji sighed again and said silently, "The days are long. If even you fall, then he..." will definitely not make it...
Qingji only got halfway through her sentence. Although she appeared cold on the surface, she was actually incredibly kind at heart.
Hearing the other person's kind advice, Su Yun finally snapped out of her daze. Yes, what was wrong with her? How could she let herself lose her composure? Only by eating well and staying healthy could she continue to take care of Ye Feng... What if he didn't wake up... What if he needed further treatment... What if they didn't have enough money? She would go out and earn money. She had to become stronger to protect Ye Feng and their home. She couldn't let herself be like this...
So she silently accepted the lunchbox that Qingji handed her.
The lunchbox was opened, revealing steaming hot food inside. Su Yun looked at the aloof and beautiful policewoman before him. They had only met briefly, only a few times...
Now, the other person's usually cold and indifferent eyes were filled with deep concern as they looked at her tenderly. Qingji hesitated, unsure what to say. She wasn't used to being gentle, nor was she used to caring for others... So many words reached her lips but remained unspoken. In the end, she could only express them through a carefully prepared lunch and gentle encouragement...
Su Yun knew the unspoken concern the other person felt. Although she told herself again and again to be strong, tears still welled up uncontrollably. Looking at Qing Ji, she couldn't help but cry tears of gratitude again: "Qing Ji... thank you... thank you..."
Su Yun never expected that his unintentional act of kindness would bring him such a great reward.
Qingji not only contributed greatly to Yefeng's emergency treatment, but also did a lot of work while waiting for Yefeng to wake up in the hospital.
She would often come over to check on Ye Feng's injuries whenever she had free time after get off work, or she would use her connections to invite some doctors to come and examine him.
Although Su Yun only gave her a small bowl of lotus root soup, Qing Ji reciprocated with much more...
The days in the hospital were incredibly difficult. Su Yun kept track of the time, yet she was also afraid of doing so... Looking at Ye Feng's sleeping face, Su Yun couldn't help but feel a pang of anxiety, even though the doctor told her that Ye Feng was slowly getting better and that waking up was only a matter of time.
Su Yun nodded calmly, but inside she was panicking. She could only repeatedly tell herself that what the doctor said was true and correct, and to trust the doctor, trust Qing Ji, and trust Ye Feng.
Her gaze remained fixed on the sleeping person in front of her, and she silently prayed in her heart, "Night Wind, Night Wind, please, please wake up soon..."
Finally, on the fifth day, Ye Feng opened his tightly closed eyes.
Seeing those familiar golden eyes open again, Su Yun almost burst into tears once more...
"Night Breeze, thank goodness, you're finally awake!" Su Yun couldn't help but gently grasp his hand, feeling his heartbeat gradually strengthen. Su Yun's heart finally settled back into her stomach, and she felt as if she had returned to this land once again.
Ye Feng's eyes were dazed, but the moment he saw Su Yun, he instantly snapped back to reality. His voice was hoarse from sleeping for so long, and he saw Su Yun's tears...
He couldn't help but reach out and pat the girl's head, awkwardly comforting her, "It's okay, I'm okay..."
Finally, Ye Feng passed the danger period... opened his eyes again, and regained consciousness.
Su Yun's dazed and confused state has finally come to an end.
