Chapter 242: Rescue from All Directions

"Flooded? Explain to me clearly, what do you mean my Leader was buried by snow?" Yun Mo grabbed Zhang Qian by the collar, using all his strength.

Yun Shu patted Yun Mo's hand, and only then did Yun Mo release Zhang Qian.

"When the search and rescue operation begins, call us." Yun Shu looked at Zhang Qian, then said politely, "Sorry for the trouble."

Yun Mo was impulsive, Yun Shu was calm.

But at this moment, both of them wanted to rush over; their Leader was waiting!

The Leader was so frail; she was sealed in a mountain cave—how helpless must she be?

But they couldn't! An avalanche was imminent, they would get lost in the vast white snow, and they needed to be patient; they needed the army's help!

The roaring sound stopped!

Squad after squad of people left the temporary Command Camp; their rescue target was clear: An Yinan!

When everyone arrived, they saw three people, seemingly tireless, shoveling snow; even if they only advanced a fraction each day, they would give their all.

"Boss, let me take over!" Liu Tiezhu had arrived!

"Soldiers of the Northeast Military Region, listen to my orders: move out." Zhang Qian spoke and issued the order.

"Yes!" The response was uniform.

Another team spoke up, "XX Military Region, listen to my orders: move out."

Another group of people responded, "Yes!"

Orders were constantly being issued, and the people taking action had a singular focus.

At this moment, everyone present knew that person's name was An Yinan.

That person had rushed back into the cave without hesitation to save an infant, only to be trapped inside and buried under the avalanche.

The avalanche had ended, and the mountain they gazed at from afar was now bare and clean; the perennial snow had been swept away completely.

The sound of helicopters was constant; armies from all sides were acting in unison!

"Comrades! She is the one who provided the Frostbite Ointment formula!" Yun Fei had arrived at the disaster area!

"Except for the soldiers in the North, you might be unfamiliar with the Frostbite Ointment, but you are likely well-acquainted with the Hemostatic Medicine."

"She is the one who provided the Hemostasis Medicine Formula."

In an instant, there was an uproar across the various military camps!

Only the North used the Frostbite Ointment; the Southern Front armies rarely got frostbite, so they didn't feel as strongly about it.

But the Hemostatic Medicine! It had saved the lives of so many soldiers; it was the backbone of soldiers on missions, it was everyone's final trump card!

And the person who created this formula was sealed in a mountain cave, all because she was saving someone! Sealed in a mountain cave.

"Some have used it, some have heard of it, and some have even had their lives saved by the Hemostatic Medicine."

"Soldiers! Save her!" Yun Fei said nothing else; saving her was enough!

Armies from all sides gathered, major forces converged!

All because of one name: An Yinan!

The armed forces of the Compilation Bureau, various armies, and the villagers from the disaster area all appeared here one after another.

Some used wooden boards, some used shovels, some used scoops, and some had no tools at all, so they used their hands!

An Yinan, Confidential Translator No. 03 of the Compilation Bureau, translator of thousands of magazines, thousands of academic documents, three hundred project files, translator of...

She contributed the Hemostatic Medicine to the country, providing security for the soldiers.

She contributed the Frostbite Ointment to the Northeast Army, relieving the Northeast Army of their worries.

She was a girl of only nineteen; she used her abilities and her passion to contribute to Huaguo, to contribute to this land.

Tens of thousands of people, working day and night in two shifts.

"Congee this morning, rice congee, make it thick; we can't let those soldiers go hungry." A woman directed the kitchen.

Her eyes watched the pot, watched the rice, and also watched the child on the wooden board not far away.

Her benefactor was in trouble, and the only thing she could do was take care of these trivial matters.

"Auntie, I'll tend the fire," the little girl said, doing what she could with maturity.

Her home was destroyed, she was alone in the world, and the person who saved her was her family; she hadn't even seen what she looked like yet!

They said Sister An was a very, very beautiful girl.

Wang Ping looked at everything before her and wiped away the tears that had covered her face at some unknown moment.

"Doctor An, you must hold on."

She resolutely shouldered her medical kit and rushed to the rescue site.

She was a nurse; she couldn't cook, she didn't have great strength, but she could treat these people, she could pop the blood blisters on their hands, she could apply medicine so they wouldn't hurt when they worked tomorrow!

Yun Qi arrived, walked up, and punched Chen Xun in the face; the guy who always used schemes to calculate others had uncharacteristically thrown a punch today.

He always said, "Strategy is supreme, force is secondary."

Yet, he had used force.

"You bastard, didn't you say you would protect Nan Nan well?" Yun Qi roared with red eyes.

That was his sister, a sister he had just recognized; he hadn't had time to spoil her, hadn't had time to be good to her yet!

Yun Qin shed tears and pulled back Yun Qi, who was still trying to throw punches.

"Enough!"

She was a soldier; she understood this helplessness: family, country, the world.

In a soldier's life, it was exactly the opposite.

The world, country, family!

They walked against the flow of the crowd; they were the opposite of everyone else!

How could this not be their helplessness and necessity?

Yun Qi looked at Chen Xun with resentment and turned to leave; his hand, which had always been used for writing, had struck someone today and then picked up an iron shovel, and his mind was filled with that quirky girl!

"Nan Nan, Brother is here!"

Yun Qin did not speak; she had just returned to the Camp from a secret mission when she heard about the snow disaster.

She had applied to the Military District immediately and rushed to the disaster area, only to learn that the person trapped was Nan Nan.

That younger sister of hers, dressed in red like a butterfly spreading its wings!

At this moment, An Yinan felt the air becoming increasingly thin; she dared not open her mouth at the lower levels for fear of encountering the accumulated snow, which would make all her efforts go to waste, so she could only climb higher every day, bending one iron nail after another as she hammered.

Her hands, once fair, were now swollen like steamed buns from the vibrations.

Her back seemed to be festering; although she had a supply of Hemostatic Pill, she was truly helpless against the wounds on her back.

"Waa..." the little one cried again; the air had been thin lately, and the little one was becoming increasingly uncomfortable, crying from time to time.

To avoid wasting time, she found some cloth, strapped the little one to her back, and continued hammering at the rock wall.

Her back was already injured, and now, with the child strapped to it, the constant friction caused the wounds to worsen.

Yet she had no other choice; the child's intense crying would consume oxygen!

The cave had not yet been breached, and if oxygen ran out, there would be only one outcome for the two of them: waiting for death.

The people outside were working hard, each and every one of them anxious and earnest.

The person inside was working just as hard; her hands were swollen, her arms were swollen, and a patch of her back was festering.

"Huff, huff, huff!" Only by gasping for air could An Yinan feel that she was still alive.

Oxygen was becoming scarcer, and the entire cave had been sealed tight by the heavy snow, with not a bit of air able to get in.

An Yinan gasped, her hands too swollen to hold the hammer well; although she wore gloves, her hands were still covered in blood blisters, and while she had applied Hemostatic Pill in the beginning, she could no longer spare the effort in the later stages.
