Five hours ago, 1,800 kilometers away, Zheng Renhe's team finally made the arduous trek to Nanchuan Town.
In the ruins, there are young figures wearing camouflage uniforms running around and busy.
"It's so fast. There are people earlier than us..." Su Yun murmured with dry lips.
"Our road is quite far and the route is bad. It's normal to come in late." Zheng Ren followed Zhao Yunlong and comforted Su Yun in a low voice.
You really have to compare everything. Zheng Ren really doesn't think this kind of competitiveness is necessary.
After nearly a day and night of arduous trekking, in addition to the cameramen and reporters, one of the team members, including a resident from 912, was hit by a flying stone on the chest wall, causing a rib fracture.
This is quite lucky, at least I can make it this far alive.
Zhao Yunlong came up behind a young man in camouflage uniforms who was busy rescuing, saluted with a military salute, and asked: "Where are you from? Where is the leader?"
The young man didn't notice anyone entering Nanchuan Town. He was already exhausted mentally and physically.
Hearing Zhao Yunlong's question, he looked back.
A face that should have been full of youthfulness was covered with dust, his eyes were bloodshot, and his body had various injuries.
"We are from the military medical department, and the captain is over there doing the rescue." He looked disappointed when he saw that Zhao Yunlong, Zheng Ren and others were also traveling lightly and marching long distances into Nanchuan Town.
"Who are you? Have you brought any rescue supplies? A jack, just a jack." The young eyes showed expectation.
Such a low requirement, if it were outside, it would not even be considered a requirement... Unfortunately, even such a low requirement is a luxury in this small town that is almost isolated from the world and turned into ruins.
The teams that could get here as soon as possible all advanced with light equipment, and heavy equipment could not get in at all.
Zhao Yunlong shook his head slightly and hurried over in the direction of the young man's finger.
In the square, hundreds of surviving residents were sitting there. Some were helping the first rescue teams to search and rescue the injured, some were crying, and many more people had not yet gotten over the shock and numbness.
A row of corpses lay in a corner of the square, covered with whatever sheets could be found. Several simple marching tents have been opened and someone is disinfecting them. It seems that they are used as emergency operating rooms.
Su Yun glanced at the supplies next to the tent, and there was almost nothing. The water and food brought in by the team have already been distributed to the hungry survivors.
At this time, the rain that had just stopped for a short time started to rain again.
When can the large army move in to this isolated island? Three days? Or five days
Zheng Ren doesn't know.
"Boss, I'm a little desperate." Su Yun whispered, his black hair hanging weakly from his forehead.
This is also the thought that spreads in the hearts of everyone in the square.
Can you still get out alive
It's been 24 hours, and only about 20 rescue workers have come in, and the supplies they carry are just a drop in the bucket.
A military flag was erected in the rubble beside the square.
Zheng Ren looked at the military flag and whispered: "Despair, it won't happen."
"This is an isolated island, with no food, no water, and only these survivors." Su Yun sighed, his tone full of sadness.
According to the mission requirements, find survivors and take them out as much as possible.
Can these hundreds of people be taken out
The capable sharp knife squad is experiencing attrition. If they really break out with hundreds of old, weak, sick and disabled people, they will probably die miserably.
But if you don't leave, are you going to sit here and wait for death
There is no way to go, the future is foggy and full of the smell of death.
Zheng Ren shook his head, remembering something, and took out the folded national flag from his arms, still carrying his own body temperature.
He came under the military flag, tried his best to smile, and said.
"The national flag will not fall, the military flag will not fall, and the people's hearts will not fall. What is there to despair about?!"
Su Yun and his companions were stunned.
In the wind and rain, Zheng Ren raised the national flag in his hand, making a sound, flying together with the military flag, showing tenacity and unyielding.
The flag does not fall down,
The military flag does not fall,
People's hearts will not fall!
Yes, what the hell is so desperate? I don’t know how many troops are out there traveling across the mountains and ridges at night and day to come to the rescue.
All difficulties are temporary and can be overcome.
Flying from the Imperial Capital, from 912, you didn’t let yourself despair!
Su Yun smiled and lifted his black hair from his forehead, causing water drops to splash.
He found a piece of wood and called a few people to fix the flag in Zheng Ren's hand firmly and erect it in the rubble.
After a few kicks, Su Yun patted Zheng Ren on the shoulder and said with a smile: "Boss, what you say sometimes makes sense."
"Haha." Zheng Ren also smiled.
"Boss, if you make it out alive, I will take you to Tahiti to fish." Su Yun said as he swept away his dejection.
"Tahiti, where is the imperial capital? Will the subway be built soon?" Zheng Ren asked confused.
“…”
…
…
Rescue work never stops, no matter how bad the weather is or how strong the aftershocks are.
After simple repairs, Zheng Ren and other team members went into search and rescue work.
While he was busy, Zheng Ren heard a whistle for help not far away.
He immediately rushed over with Su Yun.
A young military doctor who has not yet graduated is trying hard to move a prefabricated panel. Unfortunately, this is no longer within the reach of manpower.
Mechanical power is needed!
A large amount of manpower and material resources... However, the troops that can arrive within 24 hours are all troops advancing lightly, and their number is not large, similar to scouts.
These young military doctors dug through the rubble with their hands, looking for the wounded and dead who could be dug out.
The injured were treated and the deceased was carried to the town's central square. This is the flattest open space in the entire town.
In front of him, gravel and rubble were pressed under the prefabricated board, and a necrotic foot could be vaguely seen being pressed by the prefabricated board. The young military doctor did not dare to make too drastic movements and just cleaned up the surrounding gravel.
His efforts were effective. At least the basic outline of the ruins could be seen.
There is a gap between the prefabricated panels and the masonry rubble, about 20cm wide, with a slope, and about 50cm long. Zheng Ren looked through the gap and saw that the space inside was extremely narrow, and the body of a pregnant woman with a big belly happened to be in the gap.
She was very lucky and didn't die directly.
She was also unlucky. One of her feet was pinned down and became necrotic.
The pregnant woman was already in a coma. Next to her was a 4 or 5-year-old little girl, blinking her big eyes and looking confused.
It looked like she was stunned. But there is a gap, so breathing is not a problem, and water and food can also be passed through.
Zheng Ren frowned. The diagnosis given by the system panel in the upper right corner of his field of vision caused the hormone secretion level in his body to reach its peak.
The comatose patient himself suffered multiple blunt trauma injuries, which were not fatal. Fracture of the tibia and fibula of the left lower leg is not a big deal.
Avascular necrosis of the left calf...can also be amputated.
However, the two diagnoses of bacteremia and toxic shock indicate that even if the injured are rescued, they are unlikely to survive.
This is without wasting time.
The existing medical capabilities... Zheng Ren is also very sorry.
It doesn’t matter what you want, it’s just the status quo.
But these are not the main ones. What Zheng Ren saw was that the pregnant woman was having severe uterine contractions and was about to give birth. However, the umbilical cord of the unborn child was wrapped around the neck, preventing the pregnant woman from giving birth normally.
If it were in the imperial capital, no! If it were in Haicheng City No. 1 Hospital, any operating room with the simplest operating room... Even if it was a kang head, Zheng Ren would be sure to perform a cesarean section within a few minutes and take out the child smoothly.
However…
"The pregnant woman below is about to give birth, and the baby's umbilical cord is wrapped around her neck. What medical equipment have you brought?" Zheng Ren asked hurriedly.
The young military doctor was startled. Is the umbilical cord wrapped around his neck? How was he diagnosed
But this sentence, anyone who is a doctor knows how critical the situation is. Besides, in such an environment, obedience is the best option.
"There are only incision bags, gauze, iodine, cotton balls, and splints." He said in a daze.
"Cut the bag, syringe, Su Yun, give an anesthetic!" Zheng Ren said with a tone that could not be refused.
Majestic and solemn, as if this is an operating room, and he has finished brushing his hands and is getting ready to go on stage.
Su Yun did not refute, and immediately analyzed the situation, opened the last bottle of pure water, poured it down, and gave Zheng Ren a simple cleaning.
Washing hands, simple disinfection with iodophor, Zheng Ren started wearing gloves.
Su Yun threw away the pure water bottle and stretched his arm into the small gap.
The posture is very awkward, very awkward. The angle is also very small, and the surgical field can only be barely seen. The only "good" news is that the pregnant woman is in a coma and it seems local anesthesia is enough.
Zhao Yunlong ran over with a satellite phone in his hand and said as he ran, "I'll contact the headquarters and a helicopter will be here soon."
Zheng Ren didn't say anything. He took the incision bag from the hand of the junior military doctor who had not yet graduated, stuffed it into the small space along the gap, opened the incision with one hand, and prepared for immediate surgery.
"Mr. Zheng, what do you want to do?" Zhao Yunlong asked anxiously when he saw Zheng Ren pretending to have surgery.
"Caesarean section, the umbilical cord of the fetus is wrapped around the neck, and the pregnant woman has severe contractions. There is no time!" Zheng Ren was preparing, and Su Yun put a hand in to disinfect the surgical area of the pregnant woman.
It was full of smoke and dust, and with a slight movement of the arm, sand and gravel fell down.
A cesarean section in this case
"Mr. Zheng, you will be infected." Zhao Yunlong came to Zheng Ren and said in a low but stern voice.
"The child has no time." Zheng Ren said: "The adult is already in a state of toxic shock. As long as the helicopter can arrive on time and send it to Chengdu, it can be sent to West China for treatment."
"..." Zhao Yunlong was speechless.
Zheng Ren said it with absolute certainty and could not refuse.
Zhao Yunlong thought about it carefully and found that this was indeed the case.
The injured person's feet were black and obviously necrotic. After being pressed for nearly 24 hours, the toxins from the necrotic tissue have seeped into the bloodstream. Even if he is sent to West China for rescue, it is still uncertain whether the person can be saved.
This is still West China. If we change to a hospital with a slightly inferior standard, the person will definitely not be able to be saved.
To protect the adults or to protect the children, I didn’t expect that I would have to face such a choice just after arriving in Nanchuan Town.

Note: The first team to go deep into the epicenter were teachers and students from the Chongqing Third Military Medical University. If I remember correctly, it took more than ten hours to reach the center. salute!
This caesarean section was said to have been performed by a teacher from the Third Military Medical University. The mother and child were safe. Later, the pregnant woman underwent amputation and survived. When eating and drinking, I heard from a senior brother from West China and I will use it here.
