Chapter 234: I Am a Citizen of Huaguo
After walking for more than an hour, a girl carrying an instrument was about to fall; An Yinan happened to be by her side, so she quickly reached out and pulled her up.
But that girl looked at the instrument carefully, "Thankfully, it didn't break."
An Yinan looked at the girl, "Shall I carry it for you?"
The girl hesitated for a moment, but her physical strength had truly reached its limit; as far as the eye could see, there was only vast white snow, and she didn't even know how much longer she could hold on.
"Comrade, I'll trouble you then." The girl handed the instrument to her with care.
An Yinan held the instrument to her chest, carrying the large bag in one hand and supporting the girl with the other.
As time went on, everyone's physical strength was depleted faster and faster; several people had already fallen, climbed back up, and fallen again.
No one cried, no one complained, and even fewer gave up.
In this harsh natural environment, to give up meant death; now, no one could rely on anyone else, and they could only rely on themselves to walk out of this snowfield.
"Everyone help each other; if the person beside you falls, quickly help them up. Comrades, it's not far now; the people in the disaster area are still waiting for us." An elderly Doctor encouraged everyone.
An Yinan did not speak; she hung a first-aid kit on her back as well.
While walking, it kept bumping against her waist, but in this environment, they had no other choice.
Everyone had only one path, which was to move forward, move forward, and keep moving forward!
When thirsty, they ate a few mouthfuls of snow; when hungry, they also ate a few mouthfuls of snow.
They couldn't even carry their medicine and equipment, so how could they carry food?
"I can't hold on anymore." A female nurse spoke up; she had fallen and couldn't even crawl back up.
The snow was already waist-deep; let alone carrying things, even just walking forward required a massive expenditure of physical strength.
"Male comrades, go ahead and scout the path; female comrades, follow closely behind. We're almost there!" someone shouted loudly.
The positions shifted instantly; the male comrades stood in front, and An Yinan pulled the girl who had fallen first and walked in the middle of the path.
The number of people she could help was limited!
"I see tents!" a male comrade shouted loudly.
Everyone looked into the distance; those military-green tents were the hope for this group of people in the snowfield at this moment.
"Comrades, hold on." Some people encouraged others, while some held their breath.
With hope, everyone's mental state recovered to its peak.
It was no longer just a vast expanse of white; in the distance, there was that touch of military green.
There is a reason for the saying that looking at a mountain can run a horse to death.
These people walked for a full half-hour, and there was still some distance to the tents.
"Deputy Battalion Commander, look over there, is that people?" A small soldier pointed in one direction.
Zhang Qian raised his head and saw the red cloth fluttering slightly, "Gather the men and clear a path; our military doctor comrades have arrived."
Both sides worked together, and finally, they converged.
"Comrades, you finally arrived."
As soon as the two sides met, the military doctors began to cheer, while An Yinan silently put away that piece of red cloth; only the girl beside her saw everything.
Just as she was about to speak, An Yinan immediately made a "shh" sound.
The two looked at each other, and neither mentioned the matter of the red cloth.
Just as they reached the end, An Yinan discovered that the enthusiasm everyone had gathered with such difficulty was about to dissipate.
Things couldn't go on like this.
She took the girl and slowly moved to the very back of the team, took a piece of red cloth from the large bag, and signaled for the girl to hold one corner each.
In this snow-white world, that bright red color was so eye-catching that it immediately attracted attention.
"Don't just stand there, come and help quickly." Qin Hao felt relieved when he saw familiar faces.
He was among the first batch of military doctors to arrive, and now his eyes were red from exhaustion.
That group of people also reacted, one after another finding the things they were responsible for and quickly entering the military tents.
An Yinan returned the first-aid kit and handed the instrument back to the girl who had been traveling with her the whole time.
"Sister-in-law, why did you come?" Zhang Qian saw that everyone had left, so he walked to An Yinan's side and asked with a frown.
An Yinan looked at Zhang Qian, "My medical skills are quite good."
They were good; how could the medical skills of someone who could refine Hemostatic Medicine be bad?
"But this place is not a place you should be!" Zhang Qian's tone was a bit heavy.
They were soldiers; once an order was given, even if it were a mountain of blades or a sea of fire, they would have to trudge through it.
But An Yinan was not.
An Yinan shook her head, "But I am a citizen of Huaguo!"
If the system hadn't issued a mission, she might not have come, because she only knew how to diagnose, but not how to treat.
If she came, she would only add trouble.
But the system issued a mission, and she now had the Prescription Complete Volume.
She believed she could help, so she couldn't just stand by and watch.
"Get a Doctor here." Just then, a voice shouted.
An Yinan ran over directly, her fingers gently pressing on his wrist pulse, and then she said to the soldier, "Just put him on the ground; there's no need to carry him into the tent."
The soldier quickly put the person down, and An Yinan took out a Silver Needle; at first, her hand trembled a little, but in her mind, she went over the Acupuncture Technique again and again.
She had passed the exams; she could do it!
Her hand stopped shaking, and her gaze was focused.
The Silver Needle pierced directly into the acupoint, and then she took out a second Silver Needle; having done it once, the second time was much smoother.
In the end, she didn't have time to think; it was out of instinct.
"He's awake, he's awake." People around were paying attention, though at first, they didn't even react.
Among those who came, there was a practitioner of Traditional Chinese Medicine, but there was only one, and they were busy assisting the Western medicine doctors.
"Sister-in-law, go to that tent; it's cold outside, and it's not easy to provide aid." Qin Hao had just found a moment to drink some water and had watched the whole process.
His perception of An Yinan reached a new level.
This sister-in-law seemed a bit formidable.
An Yinan didn't say anything, but nodded at Qin Hao. Just then, the young girl she had supported the whole way ran over, "Doctor Qin, can I be your sister-in-law's assistant?"
Qin Hao nodded, "You can."
The little girl shoved her precious instrument into his arms and then trotted happily after An Yinan...
I mean... is there something a bit uncanny about her?
"Doctor, Doctor." Another survivor was found.
"Tent No. 1, send this one to Tent No. 3." Every tent had a lead Doctor in charge, except for An Yinan's tent, which only had her and that girl.
"Send them to Tent No. 5," Qin Hao said.
It was a pregnant woman, her head covered in blood as she clutched her belly, her face full of pleading, "Please, save my child, I beg you."
Her home was gone, her husband was dead, and only the child in her belly remained; it was all she had left.
"Our doctors will do their best, don't you worry." Qin Hao soothed the pregnant woman's emotions and then sent her directly to An Yinan's tent.
Although there were other female Comrades in the other tents, there were very few female Comrades with high medical skills.
The doctors who could come to the disaster area this time were not very old, because crossing that snowfield required physical strength.
The older doctors hadn't even reached the aid zone before they were left behind on the road forever.
