Chapter 150: Death's... prophecy?

Views:

The Taoist priest walked out of the toilet carrying his "secretions" and prepared to hand them over to the laboratory for testing. Zhou Ze looked at the Taoist priest and said:

"It's urgent. I'll go first. Can you handle it on your own?"

“… …” old Taoist.

When you need care the most, you...

"Do you want me to call the monkey to accompany you?"

“… …” old Taoist.

Are you sure you're not kidding

"That's it. Take care of yourself."

Zhou Ze walked out of the hospital with the car keys.

The old Taoist stood there and sighed, lamenting the difficulties of his life. Both of his two bosses were a bit heartless and didn't even know how to behave as a basic human being.

But thinking about it, the old Taoist felt relieved again.

It's because they don't know how to behave as human beings that they all became ghosts.

hey-hey.

The old Taoist laughed out loud and ran to the laboratory. It must be said that his cheerful personality definitely played a big role in his being able to live to such an old age in good health.

When Zhou Ze walked out of the hall door, he happened to see a minibus and three ambulances driving out. He immediately went to the parking lot, drove out his car and followed them out.

He did not call Dr. Lin to ask her to get off the car and not go. He was also a doctor and knew clearly that doctors did have the responsibility to stand up when faced with such things.

More than ten years ago, when SARS was rampant, many media reported that many doctors and nurses in the epidemic areas resigned and took leave, which caused an uproar in public opinion. But in fact, there were more doctors and nurses fighting on the front line, and some even got infected with SARS themselves.

Zhou Ze's car followed the hospital's car, and then they got on the provincial highway together.

Yancheng is really not far from Tongcheng. In addition, the Yangtze River Delta region is all plains and the transportation network is extremely developed. Therefore, after a natural disaster strikes Yancheng, rescue forces from all over the country can arrive and provide support very quickly. The Wenchuan earthquake that year actually suffered a great loss in transportation. After all, it is a mountainous area and the transportation situation is really worrying.

It was also after the Wenchuan earthquake that the country has been investing huge amounts of money in recent years to rebuild Xichuan’s transportation network. If there is any disaster next time, the People’s Liberation Army will not have to risk their lives to parachute.

Half an hour later, there was a traffic jam on the highway. The ambulance sounded the signal bell and drove through the emergency lane. Some car owners who were not following the rules and occupied the emergency lane immediately gave way after seeing the ambulance behind them. The scene was quite harmonious.

Zhou Ze felt a little embarrassed. As he drove behind the ambulance, many nearby drivers gave him the middle finger for his shameless behavior of cutting in line.

This made Zhou Ze wonder whether he should call Dr. Lin and ask him to get in the ambulance and join the rescue. Dr. Lin knew his medical skills anyway, but after thinking about it, he decided not to do it.

Last night, first there was the school matter, then the breakfast stall matter, and then he was successfully converted to a regular employee. He was really too tired after not sleeping for two days. This time, Zhou Ze only thought about keeping Dr. Lin safe. If he really asked him to participate in the rescue work again, it would be too tiring and his body couldn't take it.

Besides, I have a doctor anyway.

It has to be said that Zhou Ze has indeed changed a lot in his life as a bookstore owner since his resurrection. His originally diligent character has been worn down to become much lazier.

The rescue teams from 13 counties and cities in Jiangsu, including those from Shanghai, would certainly not foolishly rush to the center of Yancheng City all at once. Instead, they would rush to various areas with disaster reports according to unified dispatch.

Dr. Lin's team quickly got off the highway and drove into a village in Funing County.

At this time, hail was still falling from the sky, and there were even small whirlwinds in the distance. I don’t know if another tornado would form.

More than half of the houses in the village collapsed to varying degrees, and some old-style houses were almost completely collapsed. There were many pedestrians on the road, and everyone looked a little panicked.

After all, many local elderly people have never seen such extreme natural disasters in their entire lives, and no one has much experience. They have often seen mudslides, earthquakes, typhoons, etc. happening in other places, but they never expected it to happen to them.

After the ambulance arrived, the injured residents gathered spontaneously and received wound care and treatment in an orderly manner. Not far away, firefighters were searching and rescuing the collapsed house.

Zhou Ze parked the car at the back. He did not get out, but sat in the car and stared at Dr. Lin who was busy at work in the tent. Of course, at the moment, the situation here was still good, and the residents were only slightly injured, so there was no big problem.

Even though those people were covered in blood, they only had superficial injuries and would not die, so there was no need for Zhou Ze to get involved.

About half an hour later, a firefighter came running over here and informed us that there were people trapped under the collapsed old house over there. The situation might be urgent and a doctor was needed to assist in the rescue.

Doctor Lin immediately ran over there with a male doctor. Zhou Ze dropped his cigarette butt and had to get out of the car.

Firefighters were already digging underneath the collapsed old house, but they had obviously run into a problem as people were trapped underneath and seemed to be crushed. Blind digging could cause the house to collapse again, putting those trapped below in danger.

Some villagers nearby also spontaneously participated in the rescue, but no one dared to act rashly and could only obey the orders of the firefighters.

When Zhou Ze came over, Doctor Lin was shouting to the trapped people below to check their physical condition. She didn't know where her hairband had fallen and the wind was strong all around, blowing her hair up, but it didn't look messy.

In such a chaotic post-disaster environment, these people in white clothes are inherently beautiful.

A short firefighter walked past Zhou Ze, and the notebook in Zhou Ze's pocket suddenly shook. The intensity of the shaking was no less than that of Dr. Lin before!

Subconsciously, Zhou Ze reached out and pressed the other person's shoulder.

The firefighter stopped in surprise and looked at Zhou Ze: "What's the matter?"

"You...be careful."

Zhou Ze didn't know what to say and was speechless for a moment. Could he say, "Don't go forward, or you might die?"

But he didn't go.

Who will go next

The young and short firefighter was also stunned.

It seemed that he had never encountered such a situation, but there was still a warm current flowing through his heart. He smiled and said:

"I understand."

Then, the firefighter went to the front and started to tie ropes around himself. Because the collapsed house was originally a three-story building, the situation inside was rather complicated. After discussion, the fire brigade decided to send a short firefighter to grope down first and start the rescue from the inside.

Looking at the firefighter tying the rope around himself, Zhou Ze, who was standing in the crowd, pursed his lips and kept looking up and down.

So tangled,

It hurts so much.

If you don't pass by me, I won't know anything. If you sacrifice yourself, I will feel sad for you and express my highest respect to you.

But now I can actually foresee that you are going to sacrifice.

Zhou Ze decided that after this incident, he would have to find a way to close his notebook or not carry it with him.

"grass!"

I cursed myself for being a bastard.

Zhou Ze still squeezed out of the crowd, walked to the short firefighter, and picked up the rope to tie himself up.

The firefighters on the side were stunned, and one of them asked: "Who are you and what are you doing? Don't interfere with the rescue!"

Rescue is something that really needs to be done by professionals. It is indeed touching that many people participate in the rescue with great enthusiasm, but this reckless and amateur behavior may sometimes lead to themselves and the trapped people falling into a more dangerous situation.

Dr. Lin also saw Zhou Ze. She didn’t know that Zhou Ze had actually been following her car and was a little surprised.

"I used to be a special forces soldier. I'm good at fighting. Let me go."

Zhou Ze said calmly.

"Special forces?" The captain was stunned.

"Well, have you seen Wolf Warrior?" Zhou Ze asked back.

"Wolf Warrior?"

The captain's face was filled with black lines.

What the hell are you talking to me about!

"You ask her, she is my wife."

Zhou Ze pointed at Doctor Lin standing aside.

The captain looked at Doctor Lin, and Doctor Lin suddenly wanted to laugh. What does this have to do with anything

But she knew Zhou Ze's identity, and she also knew that if Zhou Ze was willing to participate in the rescue, he would be much more powerful than ordinary people. At that moment, she nodded and said:

"Yes, he is a retired special forces soldier."

With the doctor's assurance, the captain felt relieved. This was a time when people were needed, and he would of course be happy to accept people with professional qualities to participate and help.

At that moment, the captain pointed at the short firefighter next to Zhou Ze and said:

"He Li, follow this comrade Zhan, no... this comrade down together."

"Yes, Captain."

"No, I can go down alone. He's in the way." Zhou Ze said lightly.

"I won't get in the way!"

He Li had already tied the safety rope. He walked over directly and with the help of his comrades around him, he let himself down through a small hole. Before going down, he glared at Zhou Ze fiercely.

Obviously, he was looked down upon by Zhou Ze before and was very angry.

Zhou Ze was really helpless.

I'm rushing forward to make selfless contributions, and it still can't stop you from sacrificing

From now on, whoever wants to be the hero behind the scenes can go, it’s too depressing.

Zhou Ze could only quickly tie the safety rope and go down together. The space below was really cramped. Zhou Ze and the firefighter named He Li were about two meters apart. Both of them were looking for space to step down and move forward, trying their best to get in touch with the trapped people below first.

“Wow…”

Not long after he went down, Zhou Ze heard the crying of a baby below.

"Hello, hello!"

Zhou Ze shouted to the people below.

"We are down there." Someone shouted from below.

"Don't move, we will come down to rescue you soon, don't act rashly..." He Li also shouted.

"My legs are trapped, and my daughter-in-law and grandson are also there. Go save them first, save them." The person below should be an old man.

"Don't worry, old man. We are already carrying out the rescue..."

"Bang..."

There was a sound of something being pushed aside from below.

The old man below seemed to have heard his grandson's cry and was pushing the things on his body away, intending to go see his daughter-in-law and grandson first.

But this obviously illegal three-story building was already in a precarious situation. If he moved below, the entire structure would be affected. Zhou Ze felt that the concrete slabs under his feet were starting to shake again.

"Old man, don't move, don't move, we will be down soon, down soon!"

But it's still moving below.

"Fuck you, you old bastard, don't move!"

Zhou Ze started cursing directly.

Sure enough, scolding was more effective, and the old man below immediately stopped moving.

Zhou Ze used his fingernails to break several steel bars that were blocking the road, and even opened the cement cracks. He quickly got down. Not far from him, there was a woman lying there holding a child. There was blood on the woman's head. She was not dead, but she was obviously not in her right mind.

"Give me the baby first, child!"

Zhou Ze shouted to the woman.

The woman's eyes regained some clarity, and she struggled to crawl over, handing the child to Zhou Ze through the partition. She knew that the sooner the rescuers got the child out, the sooner the child would be out of danger.

Zhou Ze took the child and passed it to He Li through the steel bars, shouting to him, "Take the child up first!"

"Take the child and go up first!" He Li said.

"Go, you go up first!"

Zhou Ze's attitude was very firm. He didn't know whether the trapped people below could be rescued, but if the firefighter in front of him continued to stay inside, there was a high probability that he would be dead.

Forced by Zhou Ze's attitude, He Li had no choice but to take the child and return the same way.

Zhou Ze continued to tear open the obstruction with his fingernails and pulled the woman out. He then untied his safety rope and tied it around her, motioning for the people above to pull her up first, while shouting:

"Has the child gone up?"

"The child is here, you be careful down there!" Doctor Lin shouted from above, "It's windy again, be careful."

hehe,

Although they are basically getting divorced, the voice of a wife caring about her husband is really enjoyable.

Zhou Ze pushed the woman from below, and she was finally pulled up slowly.

Well, there's only one old baby left.

Zhou Ze walked over and saw the old man sitting on the ground with a miserable look on his face. A wooden board was pressed on his legs, and both ends of the board were pressed tightly by cement slabs.

"Comrade, please go out first. I'm not in a hurry. This house is about to collapse."

Zhou Ze rolled his eyes at the other person.

You were almost killed by your mess down there.

Are you starting to light up the lamp of your soul again

"Don't talk. I'll lift the board and you try to stretch your feet out."

"good."

Zhou Ze used his fingernails to tear open the gap in the cement board. At this moment, he felt a tingling sensation on his fingertips. Zhou Ze looked down and found that all ten of his fingers had been bleeding for a long time.

Even though these nails are magical, they are not electric drills after all, and they cannot handle these steel bars and concrete all the time.

"Push harder!"

Zhou Ze held the wooden board with both hands.

"My legs are coming out. They're coming out."

The old man shouted.

"Can you still move?"

"Yes, my legs are not broken and I can move."

"Okay, follow this, climb up first and grab the rope."

… …

"You are injured. Let me treat your wound."

A female nurse treated He Li's wound.

He Li had several wounds on his body caused by the sharp thorns below.

"I'm fine. I still need to go down and save people." He Li refused.

"Don't move. That woman has come out. There's only one person down there. You don't have to go down. Your wound must be treated in time, otherwise what if it gets infected?"

The nurse was determined.

He Li had no choice but to ask the other party to help him treat his wounds.

At this time,

The wind started to blow again.

It was much bigger than before, and the tent was rustling as if it might be blown over at any time.

He Li suddenly saw that the tree in front of him that had been blown tilted by the wind began to shake again. He immediately pushed away the female nurse who was treating his wounds and rushed out.

The female nurse was pushed to the ground and angrily asked: "What are you doing!"

That tree cannot fall, because the direction in which it falls is towards the collapsed house. Once the tree falls down, the already shaky collapsed house will definitely face a second collapse.

He Li had been there before, so he naturally knew that the situation below was actually unstable, and the force points in many areas were unbalanced.

"Squeak..."

The big tree began to fall down and it could not hold on any longer.

Other people around also noticed this, but they didn't have time to react and could only watch the tree slowly fall down.

At this time,

A short figure rushed out and ran to the direction where the big tree fell.

"Bang!"

The trunk of the tree hit his shoulder, and he immediately spat out a mouthful of blood and knelt down. His knees hit the ground directly, causing the ground to cave in. However, the tree did not hit the ground directly because of his slowness.

The surrounding firefighters and villagers immediately rushed over and started hugging the tree, trying to move it away.

The tree was finally moved safely to the ground.

But the little figure kneeling on the ground,

But he could never stand up again.

The old man was pulled up.

Then,

Zhou Ze also came up.

Doctor Lin rushed over and hugged Zhou Ze, crying. Zhou Ze was covered in dust at this time, but Doctor Lin didn't dislike him at all.

Reaching out and patting Dr. Lin on the back, Zhou Ze indicated that he was fine.

In addition to nails,

It hurts so much.

“Huh…”

Take a deep breath.

Doctor Lin began to examine Zhou Ze's body to see if there were any wounds that needed treatment.

Zhou Ze took out a deformed cigarette from his pocket, lit it, and asked:

"Where's the short firefighter?"

He came up a long time ago, so he should be fine. If he is fine, you should be fine too.

This crappy notebook is definitely not as mysterious as the hints in the movie "Final Destination". After all, it is of poor quality.

Upon hearing this, Dr. Lin's body suddenly froze.

Zhou Ze slowly frowned and asked:

"Where's the fireman?"

When Zhou Ze walked to the tent,

When I looked at the small figure covered by the white sheet,

Subconsciously, he clenched the burning cigarette between his fingertips into his palm, then suddenly pulled Dr. Lin's hand and dragged her towards his car.

"What are you doing? What are you doing? You're hurting me."

"Follow me, follow me out of here!"

"I still have to work and continue to save lives," Dr. Lin retorted.

Zhou Ze glanced at Doctor Lin.

Doctor Lin was horrified to see that Zhou Ze's eyes were bloodshot.

at the same time,

Zhou Ze held Dr. Lin's head with one hand and let her face lean against his chest. Outsiders would think that they were a young couple talking.

But Zhou Ze said:

"If you don't come with me,

I now,

I will kill you."
