"Sister-in-law, I knew there would always be surprises with you here."
Qin Qinghuai, who had just arrived, didn't say anything sentimental, mainly because the occasion wasn't appropriate. After quickly checking her over and confirming she wasn't injured, he turned to look at Commander Lin.
"Commander, how's the situation? What do you need me to do?"
I've made all the arrangements. With the old man overseeing things, we can rest assured. The most important thing now is this.
Commander Lin grinned.
"So, did you finally manage to get the old man all worked up?"
"Make the best use of everyone's talents. At times like this, why bother with all that other stuff? Human life comes first."
Yes, human life comes first.
"We're too slow. We've only searched this small area all night. There's still such a large area to go. Even if we can hold on, I don't know if the brothers below can."
"oops!"
Jian Dan slapped his forehead, his face full of regret, and said that he seemed to have forgotten something.
"Commander, I need to speak with him. Can you wait a few minutes?"
After saying that, she grabbed Qin Qinghuai and ran towards the room in the back.
In this situation, Commander Lin wasn't in the mood for jokes. He simply nodded and turned to join the soldiers in digging and rescuing people.
After all, time is life these days, isn't it?
Qin Qing and Huai Bei pulled each other to hide behind a tree not far away.
"Honey, what's wrong? Don't worry, tell me slowly, I'm here for you."
Having witnessed the hardships of others all night, upon hearing these words, Jian Dan's nose inexplicably tingled with sadness; she felt a pang of pity.
"I just forgot something, and I feel a little bad about it,"
"Don't cry, don't cry, tell me slowly."
She sniffed and simply pulled him into the space.
"I forgot, there's also the radar life detector. That's perfect for now. The radar can detect the breathing, body movements, and other vital signs of a buried life form, and it can also estimate the distance and depth of the buried life form. Wouldn't that save some time?"
Qin Qinghuai's exploration of this space was still too limited; for example, he hadn't found the life detector yet. However, it was still a big surprise.
"That's amazing! This is a great thing. If used properly, it can save rescue time and save many lives. Honey, this is all thanks to you."
She sniffled briefly, feeling comforted, but also remembered the situation outside; time was tight and the task was heavy.
"Then hurry up and get out of here. You'll have to make up an excuse yourself. I took out all those tools and food yesterday, but I still don't have a good excuse."
Qin Qinghuai couldn't help but hug the person.
"You've softened again, and you don't want to see them suffer?"
"I didn't even have lunch, and I was working so hard and hungry. It was so cold at night, even an iron body couldn't take it. I just wanted you to improve your rescue efficiency!"
"I know, I know. You're so stubborn, but you can't bear to see people suffer."
After they came out, Qin Qinghuai said something, and Commander Lin excitedly ran over, dragged the detector back to work, and the overall morale soared.
With Qin Qinghuai's arrival, Jian Dan suddenly felt reassured. Knowing that she could only help with logistical support, she didn't interfere in areas she wasn't good at. Instead, she went a little further away, hunted some game, and dragged it back, making it perfectly legitimate for her to eat meat.
Some of the lightly wounded soldiers, who were unable to exert themselves but could still move around normally, voluntarily came to the kitchen to help. They took on the simple chores, allowing her to focus solely on cooking.
It was freezing cold, and everyone had to put in a lot of effort, so meat and bone broth were the most suitable food. In addition, the kitchen had prepared a lot of ingredients. The rescue soldiers were really tired these past few days, and their hands and feet were frozen, so there was really no place to rest. But it has to be said that the food was very good. There was meat at every meal, and it was a lot of meat at every meal. It was very juicy. Even Commander Lin was eating with a rosy complexion.
After Qin Yinzhu came over again for another private lesson, she sighed with admiration.
"Tell me, I never expected that just coming along to the scene would bring me this kind of treatment!"
"What, you're enjoying this?"
While munching on the fragrant pig's trotter, she made no attempt to hide her inner turmoil.
"Two things. Just the food alone makes me reluctant to leave."
This pig's trotters was a special meal prepared for a few medical staff. There was no other way; there were too many soldiers, and whatever they cooked would be a mass meal. They didn't ask for much; they were just happy to have meat.
Commander Lin and Qin Qinghuai were also eager to receive the same treatment as everyone else. Since there was meat at every meal and the food was quite good, Jian Dan didn't try to persuade them otherwise. However, the medical staff were doing meticulous work that required absolute precision. It was not only physically exhausting but also mentally taxing and emotionally draining. Jian Dan would take care of them from time to time, since they could better care for the wounded once they recovered.
As a result, Qin Yinzhu set his sights on the pig's trotters she made. He ate them for several meals and still wasn't satisfied. He kept pestering her to go hunting several more times.
"You don't seem like the type to do housework at home, so how come you're so skilled?"
Jian Dan was somewhat reluctant to admit that the man gnawing on a pig's trotter, his mouth and hands greasy, was actually the lead surgeon and the main force in saving patients these past few days.
"Ma'am, can you please be mindful of your appearance? It wouldn't look good if the patient saw this."
"Hmph! Don't try to fool me. I can tell the difference between what's serious and what's wrong with the patient."
I'm a doctor, and I'm also a human being. I need to eat, drink, and relieve myself too, okay?
Can't everyone have a hobby?
Let me tell you, my favorite food right now is the pig's trotters you make.
Jian Dan really didn't dare say anything more, afraid that she would say something that would affect her appetite.
