All those trapped couldn't help but weep with joy, for even though it was just a small opening, it seemed to be a glimmer of hope for survival.
People began to climb in through the gap.
The moment Shura saw Qifei kneeling beside the patient, his heart finally settled down.
"Sir, there is a wounded patient here who needs to be taken to the hospital as soon as possible. I have done some temporary treatment, but he won't last long."
Qifei didn't mince words at all, getting straight to the point.
In the face of such a disaster, even the joy of reunion is somewhat diminished.
Soldiers immediately ran over and carried the wounded man away.
In this situation, even if there is a stretcher, it is impossible to get through; the only option is to carry the person out by two people.
“I’m going out with them. I need to trouble you to send all the wounded out here, sir.” Qi Fei gave Xiu Luo a deep look, and as she brushed past him, she lightly touched the back of his hand with her fingers.
Shura quickly grasped her hand and then released it, saying, "Don't worry."
The two shared an unspoken understanding.
Personal feelings for one's children must take a backseat to matters of principle.
Qifei kept a close eye on the changes in the injured, and thankfully they made it out of the ruins without any major incidents.
Ambulances were already waiting outside, ready to take any seriously ill patients to the nearest hospital as soon as they were discharged.
After coming out, Qifei encountered her colleagues who came to help, and naturally joined them to treat the wounded.
As time went on, the wounded were gradually moved out.
By the time Qifei finally had some free time, a considerable amount of time had passed. She looked around, hoping to find Shura.
However, the mermaids at the scene were too numerous to find, making it impossible to locate any people.
They were all wearing the exact same clothes as Shura, and the warriors came and went in a hurry, carrying their exhaustion with them.
From the start of the rescue operation until now, they haven't even had a chance to take a breath.
Qifei actually barely rested either.
My nerves were on edge the whole time inside, and I only started to relax a little when I saw Shura.
But once I got up there and rejoined the rescue work, I tensed up again.
I'm so busy I don't even have time to drink some water.
"Dr. Gong, the head doctor contacted us and asked you to go back to the hospital. The patients they sent there are all quite serious and need your assistance."
The nurse hurriedly came out of the tent and told Qifei about the phone call she had just received.
"Okay, I understand." Qifei nodded, but she couldn't walk to the hospital on her own; she needed to find a car to take her there.
Qifei found a soldier, asked him a few questions, and then walked towards the on-site commander's tent.
The on-site commander's tent wasn't far from their medical team's tent; Qifei arrived in just a few minutes.
"Commander, I am a doctor from Yuncheng Hospital. I need to ride back to the hospital. Could you please tell me which vehicle can take me?"
Before Qifei even went in, her voice came out first.
She's quite anxious right now. From what the director said, there are many seriously injured patients in the hospital, and the people who stayed behind simply can't keep up.
"Are you going back?" The voice from inside the tent startled Qifei, who looked at Shura standing inside in surprise.
Shura was staring at her, his body covered in dust.
Qifei was pleasantly surprised to see Shura in the commander's tent.
"Yes, the hospital needs me to go back. They've received a lot of critically ill patients there, and most of my colleagues have been called up to help. They really can't handle it."
After explaining things to Shura, Qifei finally had time to properly observe him.
"I haven't had time to read the messages you sent me yet. I'll definitely read them one by one after this is over."
Before Qifei could speak, Xiu Luo suddenly spoke, looking at Qifei seriously.
Qifei paused for a moment, then gave Xiu Luo a sweet look, "As long as you don't find me annoying."
“No, I like it very much.” Shura paused for a moment. “Your red dress today is also very beautiful. It’s just a pity that I couldn’t go to the concert with you.”
When Qifei sent the photos to Xiuluo, she specifically mentioned that she hoped to go to a concert with him one day.
"It's okay, I know there are endless possibilities for us in the future."
"By the way, when you have some free time, contact your family. They're probably worried."
Shura reminded her that Qifei's phone had been unreachable from the beginning, and she probably hadn't realized it yet.
"My phone..." Qifei realized that her phone was in her backpack and had been left in the ruins.
Shura handed her his phone. "Try to contact them. They're probably worried because they can't reach you."
"Okay." Qifei took the phone and called her mother.
Upon hearing Qifei's voice, Qifei's mother almost cried tears of joy. Knowing that she was with Xiuluo, she urged them to take good care of themselves.
Knowing that Xiu's father and mother were both alright, Qi Fei gently comforted them, telling them that she and Xiu Luo would be very busy and might not have time to contact them again, and that they should take care of themselves.
Qifei's mother was naturally aware of her daughter and stepson's work; they were usually very busy, and when something like this happened, they were even busier than usual.
After hanging up the phone, Xiu Luo picked up the clothes next to him and draped them over Qi Fei's shoulders. "Let's go, I'll take you to the car that will take you to your hospital."
The vehicles were constantly going back and forth transporting the wounded.
Shura easily found a car to Yuncheng Hospital. He helped Qifei into the car, gave her a deep look, and said, "Wait for me."
She was fine just now, but Shura's words made Qifei's eyes well up with tears. She nodded heavily and sat in the car, gazing at Shura from afar.
Qifei only rested for a short while in the car before being dragged to the operating room for a combined surgery upon returning to the hospital.
The aftereffects of this earthquake are far greater than imagined.
The rescue work is proceeding in an orderly manner, and the work at the hospital is even busier.
No one got a holiday; some doctors were injured in the earthquake and were unable to go to work.
Ji He is like that; he has a fractured arm and can't go to work at all. If he comes, he'll only cause trouble.
They were already short-handed, and with some people injured, they were even more desperate to use every single person.
Qifei sat in the chair, feeling unusually tired these past few days, perhaps because she had been too busy.
"Dr. Gong, have some water." The nurse poured a glass of water for Qifei. "Are you not feeling well? You don't look too good."
The warm water made Qifei relax a little. "It's okay. I've been working non-stop for a while now and haven't had a break. I'm a little exhausted."
"Sigh, this earthquake has really killed and injured so many people, so our hospital is almost overwhelmed with work."
The nurses haven't had a break in a long time either. If even the doctors can't rest, then naturally they can't either.
They don't even have time to go home, they're busy every day.
