Chapter 671: A Surgery With One Foot On Death’s Door

After meeting up with the first batch of troops, Zheng Ren did not have time to be happy. He immediately went to the commander and asked about the situation.

Things were always worse than he imagined. Zheng Ren finally had a new understanding of this sentence.

According to the commander, there were ten cities and counties that were severely damaged, including the county where Chuannan Town was located.

There were 41 cities and counties that were severely damaged, and the number of people affected was close to 10 million.

The number of injured people was conservatively estimated to be in the hundreds of thousands.

This was a daunting number.

Zheng Ren silently wrote down the location marked on the military map, saluted, and turned to leave.

“Boss, do you want to go to Pengxi Village?”

“Yes.” Zheng Ren was not surprised that Su Yun knew what he was thinking.

Pengxi village was one of the outposts from the city and a county that had been hit by the disaster within Chengdu. The vehicles that passed through Pengxi Village had to settle down and resupply.

According to the mark on the map, the disaster there was not serious and the hospital could barely be used.

Even if there was only one gastrointestinal machine, Zheng Ren could still play the role of tens of millions of equipment.

There, he could bring out all his knowledge and play the greatest role.

“There are probably countless people there,” Su Yun said.

“Okay, let’s go. Where’s Zhao Yunlong?” Zheng Ren asked.

“He’s busy. The troops have come up and dug out more survivors. He’ll be busy with diagnosis and treatment soon,” Su Yun said.

Zhao Yunlong was busy. Where was he?

Su Yun could foresee what would await him if he went to Pengxi Village.

A few dog barks came from afar.

The rescue dog was running in the ruins. Its claws were scratched by something and blood was dripping.

However, it seemed to know that the situation was urgent. Like the people here, it worked tirelessly, running and limping. It looked a little funny.

It found another survivor.

The rescue dog’s efficiency was on full display.

“I really want to keep such a dog.” Su Yun looked into the distance. He could not see the rescue dog at all. He could only see the officers and soldiers rushing over following the sound.

“We’ll go back.”

“In the future, when you bring the dog to work, you can play with your phone without having to worry about banging into things,” Su Yun said with some regret.

Zheng Ren felt that Su Yun was already sleepy and confused. His mouth was full of nonsense.

He was fine, but the energy elixir had not been used yet. Zheng Ren felt that he could hold on for another ten days of surgery.

A valiant figure appeared in front of him. Zheng Ren pulled him back.

“Zheng Ren, what’s the matter?” Zhao Yunlong asked informally.

“Chief Zhao, I want to go to Pengxi Village.” Zheng Ren did not exchange pleasantries and directly told him his intended destination.

“Hmm?” Zhao Yunlong did not stop. There was already an injured person who had been trapped for more than 48 hours. He needed to go and take a look at the situation.

Zheng Ren and Zhao Yunlong walked side by side.

“What do you want to do there?” Zhao Yunlong asked.

In name, he was the leader of their squad, but the follow-up troops had already rushed over. The mission was over.

Moreover, Zheng Ren did not have a military background and his skill level was high. Zhao Yunlong did not want to interfere too much with Zheng Ren’s thoughts.

“That side is one of the necessary routes from the disaster-stricken city to Chengdu. The area covered is large, and more seriously injured people will be sent there,” Zheng Ren said. “Moreover, I am not much better than you at general and thoracic surgery. If we do interventional surgery, perhaps more injured people will be able to recover as soon as possible.”

Zhao Yunlong sometimes found it annoying that Zheng Ren always told the truth.

However, it was because of it that he knew he was telling him the truth. Even Su Yun followed him obediently, calling him boss time and time again. He... Forget it. He would not bother with him about this matter.

Su Yun was eager to give it a try. When he saw that Zhao Yunlong was tactful and did not speak, he felt a little regretful. He was so sleepy. He really wanted to push Zhao Yunlong down and rub him on the ground with his words.

What a pity.

“I’ve asked. If I want to go out, I have to leave the mountain. This mountain road is about ten kilometers long.” Zhao Yunlong walked quickly to the outside of the tent.

“Well, I’ll go out with the seriously injured people at dawn,” Zheng Ren said.

Zhao Yunlong entered the tent. A seriously injured person who had just been rescued lay in the tent. His face was pale and his body was covered in mud.

An emergency team member was taking the blood pressure of the injured person. Zhao Yunlong quickly walked to the side to have a physical examination.

The blood pressure of the injured person was very low, and he was already in a state of hemorrhagic shock.

“Prepare for interventional surgery,” Zheng Ren said as he sighed.

He had to go to that small hole again. Zheng Ren was really worried that there would be another aftershock and he would actually be buried alive.

However, the System’s panel on the upper right side of his field of vision had already given the diagnosis of the injured person—pelvic fracture, retroperitoneal hematoma, hemorrhagic shock. There were also other fractures. Compared to severe pelvic fractures, they were all trivial matters.

The other fractures could be sent to Chengdu for further treatment.

A pelvic fracture with retroperitoneal hematoma had already bled for more than 48 hours. It was already a miracle that he was still alive.

The injured person could die at any time. If he were to undergo interventional embolization, he might survive. Zheng Ren was not sure, but there was still a glimmer of hope.

Zhao Yunlong carefully checked his body. He did not dare to make too big a move to avoid causing additional damage.

He did not have any equipment to assist in the examination. He could only check his body. He could not determine the exact condition of the injury. He could only use the elimination method to remove the abdominal injury and determine some simple fractures.

How did Chief Zheng determine that he needed surgery? Zhao Yunlong was a little confused.

However, after spending a lot of time together, the proud and arrogant Zhao Yunlong quietly accepted the fact that Zheng Ren was almost omnipotent, especially when it came to diagnosing patients in the past few days. They had never been wrong.

“Chief Zheng, that place is about to collapse,” Zhao Yunlong said in a deep voice.

“It’s okay. I’ll do an embolism treatment for the pelvic fracture. It’ll be very quick,” Zheng Ren said as if he did not care. “Half an hour. My luck won’t be that bad.”

Su Yun was about to say something when Zheng Ren continued, “Chief Zhao, keep an eye on Su Yun. Just don’t let him go down with me.”

Su Yun wanted to curse.

“There’s nothing you can do even if you go down. Stay here and save the injured with Chief Zhao.” Zheng Ren’s words carried the dignity of a senior doctor and could not be doubted.

Su Yun was stunned for a moment and was a little absent-minded. It seemed like they were in harmony. He was like an old professor who had already retired but insisted on ward round.

He held back all his words. He knew that Zheng Ren did not want him to put him in danger again, but...

F*ck! Su Yun cursed in his heart.

“Hurry up. I’ll go down and prepare something first.” Zheng Ren turned around and left, conveniently picking up a first aid kit.

Zhao Yunlong immediately organized his men and found a small and lean PLA soldier to go down with Zheng Ren. They carried the patient to the gastrointestinal machine’s examination bed.

The gastrointestinal room, which was already narrow and cramped, collapsed a little more after the strong aftershock. The decoration material all peeled off, and the broken lead wall could already be seen.

Zheng Ren pretended not to care. After carrying the patient to the examination bed, he let the soldiers of the People’s Liberation Army ascend up without him.

The roar of the diesel generator outside sounded again. Zheng Ren stepped on the threshold of death’s door and began the surgery.
