"Here, have some soup to replenish your energy."
Doctor Qin didn't stand on ceremony. He took a couple of sips of soup, and seeing there was meat in it, he unceremoniously took the bowl and started taking big bites. He then gestured for the others to come and eat.
"Oh my, I haven't been this tired in a long time. I feel like I've reached a new limit."
In this rush, Jian Dan was even afraid she would choke.
"Take your time, I've left you plenty, enough to eat."
The group didn't stand on ceremony; after finishing his meal, Dr. Li went to the kitchen himself.
After eating and drinking their fill, the group leaned against the wall, finally feeling a bit better.
"Sister-in-law, thank goodness you're here, otherwise we would definitely be working on an empty stomach,"
The nurse also joked.
"Yes, being hungry is a minor issue. With this temperature tonight, I'm not afraid of starving to death, I'm afraid of freezing to death."
That's right. It's almost the end of the year, and this is the coldest place. This is in the mountains, and there's almost nothing to block the wind. It's common for the temperature to drop to minus thirty degrees Celsius at night. It's not surprising that people freeze to death.
Are there many wounded?
There were several wards, but I could only see one of them, and there were only a few people there. But I knew that couldn't possibly be all of them.
Doctor Qin sighed.
"You know what, I've only seen this kind of accident a few times. The injured are alright, they're not in immediate danger of losing their lives. I think I just heard them talking about how they found several people who had already lost their vital signs."
This is just the beginning. And like this, the shorter the time, the greater the hope. Now is the most hopeful time. If it takes too long, the air down there won't circulate, and it will freeze again.
She paused, then sighed.
"It's not that I'm being pessimistic, it's just that the environment in coal mines is already bad, and the air down there is harmful, which is quite dangerous for the respiratory system. Breathing is already difficult enough, but if you suffocate on top of that..."
My heart sank. I had a good understanding of the external injuries of the people rescued from the well, and I was confident about their condition, but this part... I really...
Even someone as simple as me would think of that. Even someone who doesn't understand much knows that dust in coal mines is extremely harmful. Otherwise, why would coal mine workers earn such high wages? The danger of going down the mine is one aspect, but the saying that miners risk their lives to earn money is not an exaggeration.
On the other hand, the health of miners is generally poor. Of course, in the early stages, it is not obvious that they can eat and sleep well. After all, it is physical work. The longer they are underground and the longer they are exposed to dust, the greater the harm to their health.
This is an undeniable fact.
