There was a big aftershock, and the walls creaked.
Zheng Ren and Su Yun's faces turned pale. Although this space was supported by lead walls, it would definitely not be able to withstand another aftershock of magnitude 6 or above.
They had just sent a patient out and the new patient had not been brought in yet. In the narrow and cramped space, there were only Zheng Ren and Su Yun. This could be considered a blessing in disguise.
At the very least, they did not have to worry about the patient's safety. They only had to protect themselves.
This way, the possibility of survival was higher … but not much.
Zheng Ren and Su Yun's movements were almost the same. They hid in the corner that looked the sturdiest.
Then, they looked at each other and no one said a word.
Fear and uneasiness dominated the place. Although Zheng Ren and Su Yun were taking a huge risk in the surgery, it did not mean that they were not afraid.
Zheng Ren could only hide in the corner and constantly comfort himself. With the + 12 Luck attribute, he would definitely be fine.
Su Yun looked at the shaking wall with fear and curiosity. Listening to the tsunami-like roar coming from the mantle, he could not help but feel a little absent-minded.
Gradually, the two of them calmed down.
At most, they would die. They had already gotten over it, so it was not that hard to accept.
Although Zheng Ren's mind was filled with Xie Yiren and Su Yun was very regretful that he had not won the Nobel Prize, what could he do?
The strong aftershocks quickly ended, leaving only weaker aftershocks one after another.
Another piece of the building, which was not sturdy to begin with, collapsed, smashing right in front of the small ventilation window. Originally, they could still see a trace of light and shadow outside, but now they could not see anything.
The room was full of dust, and it was difficult to breathe.
"Boss, we seem to have survived again," Su Yun looked at the dark space and whispered. His voice was ethereal, like a ghost.
Zheng Ren wanted to smile. Although no one could see it, this smile was for himself and for Xie Yiren in the distance.
To be able to survive and see the sun tomorrow, shouldn't he celebrate?
"I think so," Zheng Ren said.
"Zheng Ren, Su Yun!" As the strong aftershock passed, a shout came from outside. It was Zhao Yunlong. He shouted immediately.
His voice was very muffled, low and distant, like the sound of a heart during cardiac tamponade.
"What are you howling for? Your Brother Yun won't die!" Su Yun stood up and shook the dust off his body.
"The air vent is blocked. We'll open it now. You two, hurry up and come out." Zhao Yunlong heard Su Yun's voice. Since he still knew how to talk back to him, then the two of them must be fine.
"There's no rush. Send the next patient in," Zheng Ren said.
"Not at the moment!" Zhao Yunlong said.
Hmm, so fast? Zheng Ren was in a daze during the surgery. Who would have the time to calculate how many patients he had operated on and how many more patients needed surgery?
It's done. That's great news.
Zheng Ren did not want to perform surgery in this graveyard. It would be fine if he was really smashed to death. If they were trapped without any heavy machinery, they would starve to death …
Forget it, I don't want to think about this anymore. I should think about something happy.
The people outside quickly cleared the rocks in front of the vent and cleared a path for them to climb out.
Fortunately, although the aftershocks were strong, the building did not collapse. It was just clearing some rubble. It was not a problem.
Half an hour later, Zheng Ren and Su Yun climbed out.
They had performed surgery in this graveyard for seven or eight hours. Now that they had climbed out and breathed in the fresh air, even the raindrops were so pleasing.
"How are the injured?" Zheng Ren took a few breaths and quickly recovered his strength as he asked.
"The helicopter came twice more and picked up all the seriously injured." Zhao Yunlong obviously felt that the pressure was much lighter. He said with a smile, "The colonel even asked where you were. I said I was performing surgery under the ruins. If it weren't for the tight time and heavy mission, he would have wanted to see you."
Zheng Ren thought of the bearded pilot. It turned out that he was a colonel. His rank was so high.
No wonder Su Yun looked at him like that. It was as if it was very strange that he did not recognize the colonel's epaulette.
"The main force will arrive after another mountain. Behind them, heavy equipment will also be transported up and the road is being cleared." Zhao Yunlong's voice was a little cheerful and full of hope.
Everything was developing in a good direction. Zheng Ren let out a long sigh.
It seemed that the possibility of getting out alive was getting higher and higher.
Living, continuing to live, this was the best thing, nothing else.
The sound of propellers came from afar again, and Zheng Ren's spirits were lifted.
Even if the main force came in, they could only use manpower to bring in urgently needed supplies. The search and rescue of survivors would be faster.
As long as the road was still open, the task of transporting the seriously injured people who urgently needed to be sent to the ICU for treatment would definitely be completed by helicopter.
It was good to be able to hear the sound of propellers.
The rain gradually stopped. The lights of a helicopter appeared in the night. It was like the morning star, carrying infinite hope.
Zheng Ren took the time to write down a brief introduction of each patient's condition and subsequent treatment suggestions. He put them in plastic bags and stuck them on the patients' bodies.
By the time he was done, Zhao Yunlong and the others had already finished moving the necessities from the helicopter and began to carry the patients onto the helicopter.
Zheng Ren walked happily to the helicopter. He wanted to talk to the bearded man again and ask if the transferred patients had all been sent to Huaxi.
Also, the doctor from the Department of Nephrology had arrived. There was also the dialysis machine …
There were countless questions and countless expectations.
However, when he came to the helicopter, he did not see the bearded pilot. This time, it was a middle-aged man in his thirties.
Zheng Ren moved closer. The helicopter's propellers roared. He had to shout to speak. Otherwise, no one would be able to hear him clearly.
Zheng Ren was not used to explaining things to the new pilot. As a patient with late-stage face blindness, it was definitely a very happy thing to be able to see a familiar face.
Amidst the roar of the propellers, the seriously injured people had already been sent to the helicopter.
Zheng Ren saluted and shouted, "Send my regards to the colonel!"
His voice passed through the roar. The pilot, who returned the salute, was stunned, and his face instantly darkened.
Zheng Ren looked at his change, and a haze shrouded his heart.
"An hour ago, the regiment commander … fell," the pilot said with a gloomy face. "From now on, I will complete the mission of this town. If someone else were to be replaced, I would have fallen too. "
After saying that, he turned around and left. His eyes were bloodshot.
The helicopter flew away, braving the drizzle and the thick fog that wouldn't dissipate.
Zheng Ren looked at the lights of the helicopter's tail in a daze and was stunned for a long time.
"Boss, what's wrong?" Su Yun saw that Zheng Ren's situation was not right and came over to ask.
"Nothing." Zheng Ren shook his head and watched the helicopter leave.
Watching the helicopter fly in the rain with difficulty, Zheng Ren was silent. He slowly raised his right arm and gave a military salute. Then, he stretched out his right fist and pierced the sky.
