Chapter 415: Chapter 296: Full Mobilization—Critical Care Races to the Frontline

Late at night,

Jiangcheng Airport.

"Qin Feng, I can’t accompany you back. Be careful, okay?"

Liu Yan’Er hugged Qin Feng, a bit reluctant, with a tone of concern.

"Don’t worry. It’s just that they might organize a medical team. I may not have to go back, maybe stay here instead."

Qin Feng patted her back, smiling as he comforted her.

"Xiaoxin, whether you go or not, take care of yourself, okay?"

Chen Yuanfang also looked at him with concern, repeatedly urging him.

"I know, Aunt Chen, don’t worry."

Qin Feng nodded, glancing at his wrist,

"Aunt Chen, Uncle Liu, it’s about time, I should board now."

"Alright, send Yan’Er a message when you arrive, stay safe, call if anything comes up."

Liu Zheng nodded, not overly enthusiastic, yet full of trust.

Perhaps, a man’s feelings aren’t as rich as a woman’s, but they are deep and straightforward.

"Yan’Er, I must go."

Qin Feng lowered his head, speaking tenderly.

Liu Yan’Er released her arms, her eyes filled with reluctance.

Then, as if she remembered something, she raised her arm and quickly removed the golden bead necklace from her neck.

"Don’t move."

As she spoke, she tiptoed to fasten the bead necklace around his neck, tucking it into his shirt.

"This is the bead my parents gave me when I went to school in Beijing. I’ll let it stay with you until you come back."

"Then what will you have?"

"Did you forget the jade pendant you gave me last time?"

Liu Yan’Er smiled.

"Okay!"

Qin Feng nodded, feeling the original warmth and faint fragrance from the bead,

"I’m leaving."

With that, he turned and walked toward the security check, disappearing from the trio’s sight.

...

On the plane,

The night sky was tranquil, pitch black with no sights visible.

In seat number 1 in first class, Qin Feng reclined slightly, a cup of lemon water at hand.

"Mr. Qin, do you need a blanket?"

At this moment, a beautiful flight attendant approached, with a full smile, her eyes locked on him as she spoke tenderly.

"No, thank you."

Qin Feng, looking at the content on his phone, furrowed his brows slightly and responded casually.

The flight attendant, upon hearing this, felt her smile freeze slightly and returned to her spot somewhat disheartened, seemingly disappointed.

"What? The handsome guy ignored you?"

"He didn’t even lift his head. Am I not charming?"

...

"Xiaao, help me verify the current medical situation in Chuannan Province, what’s exactly happening?"

At this moment, Qin Feng asked in a low voice with earphones on.

"Here’s the situation: Due to continuous heavy rain, the water level has exceeded the highest mark by 20 centimeters. Serious landslides and mudslides have occurred in places like Yilong and Mao County in Chuannan Province. Currently, a large number of personnel are heading out for rescue.

However, they need to both fight floods and control them, and many villages in the mountains that couldn’t be evacuated in time have been destroyed by mudslides, resulting in missing and injured persons. The roads to the mountains are blocked, with a disaster area spanning over 20,000 square kilometers, making it impossible for medical teams to get in. The military is currently working on clearing the obstruction..." 𝒇𝒓𝙚𝒆𝔀𝓮𝓫𝒏𝓸𝙫𝓮𝓵.𝓬𝙤𝙢

Lin Xiaoxiao compiled all the information and reported it to him.

"Got it, thank you."

Having learned the specifics, Qin Feng felt a shadow cast over his heart and continued to make calls, saying,

"Hello, this is Qin Feng."

"Boss."

"Notify all companies to immediately prepare medical equipment and medicine, and have all helicopters ready in the safety zones of Chuannan Province for support at any time."

"Okay, I’ll arrange it right away."

This was the quickest and most effective way.

However, now Chuannan Province is still experiencing heavy rain, with winds above level 8, and even over level 10 in some local areas.

Entering by helicopter is currently very difficult and extremely dangerous, so waiting is necessary.

Two hours later,

Beijing International Airport, Qin Feng emerged from the security channel, sending Yan’Er a message.

He then boarded a special vehicle and quickly arrived at Peking Union Medical College Hospital.

"Director, I’m back."

The office door was pushed open, and the phone-call-engaged Meng Dawei looked up, immediately rising with pleasant surprise,

"Hold on, I’ll arrange it right away, don’t worry Old Yuan."

"Qin Feng, you’re finally back! Have a seat."

Qin Feng sat down.

Meng Dawei furrowed his brows tightly, seeming somewhat anxious,

"Qin Feng, this is the situation. I suppose you know a bit about what’s happening in Chuannan Province by now.

There’s a shortage of medicine, and an even greater lack of personnel, so this time Beijing is arranging for a medical team, with Peking Union Medical College Hospital taking the lead to form a medical rescue team.

The 302 and other specialized medical staff have already departed, and we must set out for Chuannan Province no later than 10 AM tomorrow.

This time, we need two people from critical care to accompany us, so I wanted to hear your opinion."

"Who did the other director choose?"

Qin Feng didn’t answer, instead asking in return.

"Uh, hahaha~"

Meng Dawei’s expression turned a bit awkward, but he quickly relaxed,

"Cui Yiming, also an experienced attending physician in critical care, single."

"Alright, no problem."

Qin Feng nodded, speaking firmly.

"Qin Feng... I actually don’t want you to go, after all, this isn’t just medical aid, it’s a natural disaster, but Old Yuan wanted to at least ask if you’d be willing..."

At this point, Meng Dawei’s expression was quite complicated, and his tone became much subdued.

"Actually, when you called me, I was already prepared."

Qin Feng’s lips curled into a slight arc, smiling as he spoke,

"Moreover, I feel that this task is meant for me, everyone has families to tend to, while you and Deputy Director Gao need to manage the operations here given your age."

"Truth is if you don’t want to go, I could discuss it with the hospital."

Upon hearing this, Meng Dawei grabbed his arm.

Qin Feng could see that the director didn’t want him to go.

"I’ve made up my mind. Time is of the essence. Go!"

At this moment, all departments were urgently deploying personnel.

"Director, let me go!"

"I’ll go!"

"You just got married, don’t fight with me, I’ll go!"

"That’s my hometown, I must go!"

"In the face of disaster, everyone is equal. Why can’t we women go?"

"I’m the head nurse, I’ll lead the way and sign up!"

"I’ll go too!"

In the face of danger, all medical staff didn’t flinch because the country and people needed them.

Looking at the dozens of hands raised high, the heads of each department were tearfully touched.

...

In the multimedia conference room of Peking Union Medical College Hospital,

"Just four hours ago, we received the news that the severe landslides and mudslides in Chuannan Province have endangered the property and safety of hundreds of thousands of people.

The higher-ups instructed us to immediately dispatch a capable medical rescue team to the disaster area.

Disaster demands immediate action, time is life!

You 100 excellent medical personnel drawn from various departments not only represent Peking Union Medical College Hospital, but also hope!"

On the stage, the president stood up and gave a powerful speech.

Below the stage was the newly formed hundred-member rescue team from Peking Union Medical College Hospital.

The hospital was bustling in the dead of night as trucks loaded with medical supplies drove out of the hospital gates, heading first to the airport for loading.

By 10 a.m. tomorrow, they will head to Chuannan Province together to complete this immediate support mission.

"I will now announce the assignments and appointments for this medical rescue team.

First rescue team: Emergency Medicine, Cardiothoracic Surgery, Neurosurgery, Orthopedics, Critical Care Medicine, led by Deputy Director of Emergency Medicine, Gao Sheng.

Second rescue team: Cardiology, Neurology, Gastroenterology, Pulmonology, Infectious Diseases, led by the Director of Cardiology, Li Chengfeng.

Head of the rescue team, Vice Director Yuan Bin!"

Upon hearing this name, Qin Feng was momentarily stunned and then looked at the figure standing on stage.

He did not expect that Vice Director Yuan would be leading the team this time.

At this moment, Yuan Bin also spotted him in the crowd, a smile on his face.

It seemed that everything was under control.

Qin Feng seemed to understand what Meng Dawei just said. Vice Director Yuan specifically wanted him on this rescue team.

There was a deeper meaning behind it!

...

The sky had just lightened,

Several buses were parked in the hospital parking lot, with all the medical staff boarding.

"Dr. Qin, you’re here too!"

"Hello, Qin Feng."

As soon as Qin Feng got on the bus, many doctors greeted him, with some surprised.

After all, Qin Feng had quite the reputation at Peking Union Medical College Hospital: a top attending physician in critical care medicine, handsome, wealthy, skilled, and with many fans.

Such a talent, in their view, should have stayed in the department to bear the major responsibilities due to staff shortages.

But now, he was going to the disaster area frontline just like them.

But upon second thought, aren’t they doing the same?

Honk honk~

Once everyone was seated, the patiently waiting police motorcade sounded two loud sirens.

Subsequently, three buses, escorted by the police on motorcycles, headed to the airport.

At the same time, similar scenes were unfolding across the country, with medical aid teams rapidly assembling to head to Chuannan Province.

Nearly ten thousand medical personnel, unafraid of danger, leaving their families and businesses, rushed to the disaster area.

hours is the golden rescue time; they must race against the clock!

...

At the airport,

In the waiting hall at the boarding gate, passengers were already in line.

But it was past boarding time, the flight was delayed, and everyone’s emotions started to become restless. Some people were already shouting angrily.

"Why is the flight delayed? The airport must give us an explanation!"

"Exactly! Our time is also precious! You must compensate us!"

"Do you know how much I lose for each hour of delay? Solve this immediately!"

...

For a moment, the atmosphere of anger spread to more people.

"We apologize to all passengers. We’ve received an emergency notice; the flight needs to be delayed, but it won’t be too long. Please wait a moment. The flight will take off in 25 minutes."

The ground staff kept explaining, but the message they received was that this flight needed to be delayed 25 minutes to make way for another emergency-arranged flight.

"What does this mean? Wasting our time for nothing!"

"Exactly! I want a refund!"

"Compensation! You must compensate us for our losses!"

"Yes, delaying without an explanation, is this your attitude?"

Just as the angry passengers began to rail against the airport, a grand procession appeared in the security check hall.

Soon,

A few security personnel and staff walked out from Boarding Gates B13-B20. Another passage was immediately opened next to them.

Over a hundred people, carrying bags, entered the fast track under guidance, as seven boarding gates started security checks simultaneously.

"Who are they? What gives them the right to occupy our boarding gate and board first?"

"Exactly! Are you just going to waste our time?"

"I’m going to file a complaint against you!"

...

[Ding dong~ Attention all passengers, due to special circumstances, normal security checks at Boarding Gates B13-B20 are temporarily halted. Medical teams supporting Chuannan Province will be given priority. Please wait for a moment, thank you for your cooperation!]

At this moment, a clear announcement resonated in the hall.

All of a sudden, everyone was stunned.

Originally furious passengers, with mouths agape, were left speechless, pointing at the ground staff, as their eyes shifted to the queue undergoing security checks.

Are they the medical team supporting the disaster area?

Instantly, the once-noisy hall fell silent, all eyes respectfully focused on them.

At this moment, anger seemed to dissipate, and time seemed to stop.

Because the people before them were heroes!
