Rebirth: I Will Win Easily in the Apocalypse-Chapter 43 - 32 Continue Recuperation
Chapter 43 - 32 Continue Recuperation
The doctors outside had gotten the answers they wanted and looked at Zhong Junfeng and Yin Meng as if they had found treasures. Despite the fact that one was a freshman and the other a sophomore, with very little knowledge of their major, they were able to manage the patient to this extent, and the person was up and about so quickly, it was clear they had put in a lot of hard work. Secondly, they obviously had the talent to accomplish this.
The doctor couldn't help but feel a fondness for talent and asked if the two of them would like to work at the hospital. Sitting in on consultations was definitely out of the question, but they could do some nursing work now, and they could learn medical knowledge by following him.
Moreover, the hospital was short-staffed now, as the flood-induced collapse took not only government officials but also a group of doctors from C-city. Now, there were only a few doctors left in C-city, leaving them no choice but to ask the national government to send more people.
However, this had indeed opened up a new idea for him; he could call together the medical students. The upperclassmen could take it as an early internship, and the underclassmen could also help out with nursing work, which would alleviate the pressure of the staff shortage to some extent.
Since the two of them had talent and were willing to bear hardships, the doctor decided to fight to keep them close so that they could complete their training early.
The doctor's name was Tao Qi, an experienced medical expert. Although only in his forties, he was already considered a medical authority and commanded respect and trust within the medical community. He was also the idol and goal of both individuals.
The source of this c𝓸ntent is frёeweɓηovel.coɱ.
To have such an opportunity to learn under their idol, Zhong Junfeng and Yin Meng were thrilled and readily agreed.
Since Chu Guodong's injuries made it difficult for him to move at the moment, and he only needed to be taken good care of to recover, Tao Qi discussed it with the people of the 10th building and decided to let Chu Guodong continue his recovery there. Chu Guodong's soldiers, along with Zhong Junfeng and Yin Meng, would take turns caring for him, and Tao Qi would also visit often.
He also promised that the government would provide for all of Chu Guodong's living expenses, so it would not be a burden on them.
Chu Guodong looked mature and upright, but in fact, he was only 27 years old this year, a younger member of the Gu Family, with whom Tao Qi's family had long-standing connections. Tao Qi had watched him grow up.
Ignoring his family's objections, Tao Qi insisted on participating in the mission to C-city. His disappearance had his family very worried, but being far away in Jing City and due to some other special reasons, his family could not come immediately.
Tao Qi was already stationed outside C-city, waiting to participate in the rescue missions. Upon hearing of Chu Guodong's disappearance, he immediately applied to be among the first to enter C-city.
When Xiao Lin and Gao Zhi went to the Songshan District Government to request the government to send someone to verify their identity, the 532nd squad just happened to be on duty at the Songshan District Government. As soon as they heard that the Captain might have been found and was injured, they immediately sent someone to inform Doctor Tao Qi, and they all rushed over together.
Speaking of luck, it seemed that Chu Guodong was simply unfortunate. After the other members of his squad were sucked into the vortex, they emerged together and were only unconscious without any injuries. They were found by a large rescue team that arrived same day and could participate directly in the government operations the next day.
Upon awakening, they immediately spread out to search for their Captain, but C-city was vast, and amidst the sea of people, it was difficult to find him. Moreover, government departments were short-staffed, so they had to prioritize their missions, searching for their Captain in their spare time.
It was unexpected that on the first day of their mission, the Captain was found—a piece of good news. They also felt that Doctor Tao Qi's proposal was a good one. Setting aside the fact that the Captain was not easy to move at the moment, they had seen the makeshift hospitals in C-city; they weren't terrible, but they could not compare to the current housing.
The accommodations for these soldiers could only be described as austere, with dozens of them living in a single room, sleeping on the floor, and not falling ill mainly because of the soldiers' good physical condition.
Everyone in building 10 had no objections to Chu Guodong staying there afterward; it was an empty room, after all. They had been able to keep out people of questionable character from moving in, simply by the virtue of being numerous and having settled early.
Now that a soldier was living there, they didn't have to worry about his character disturbing neighborly relations. The frequent presence of soldiers also ensured the safety of their building.
"Fall in!"
"Salute!"
Before leaving, Squad 532 collectively lined up, looking solemn with a steadfast gaze. They saluted the people of Building 10, and in that moment, the air was filled with respect and gratitude. Then, they bowed deeply to show their thanks to the residents of Building 10.
The sudden gesture startled the residents of Building 10, leaving them somewhat flustered. They waved their hands in protest, embarrassed to accept such gratitude and respect. After all, Chu Guodong had also been working for the sake of their C city, and as residents of C city, they were very grateful for the efforts made by these soldiers.
Two people were left to take care of Chu Guodong, while the rest of Squad 532 and Doctor Tao Qi departed.
Before leaving, Doctor Tao Qi left some medicine needed by Chu Guodong and instructed Zhong Junfeng and Yin Meng on how to use them. Then he made an appointment with them to report to the temporarily established hospital the next morning.
After the group left, the residents of Building 10 also hurried back to their homes. Now that everything was resolved, and they had exhausted themselves over the past few days, they quickly went to rest, as they needed to rise early the next morning to inquire about employment opportunities.
However, just as they settled at home after dinner, before they could rest, they were disturbed by noises from the comings and goings downstairs. It turned out that Squad 532 had returned with lots of household goods and food. The deputy captain had already reported to the leaders, and afterwards, they would use this place as their temporary rest spot.
Uncle Zhuang across the hall, hearing the commotion, came out to see five young men clanging around with a bunch of things. They didn't ask for any help but were hoisting them up to the upper floors with ropes, sweating in the cold weather without a clue of how long they had been doing it.
Peering through the open door of a neighboring apartment, he even saw a large bed.
"Sorry, uncle, to disturb you all. We'll finish up quickly," Deputy Captain Lin Cheng, seeing someone coming out, kept apologizing.
"It's no trouble. You should have called us."
"Xiao Yang, come out and help these brothers with the hoisting straps,"
Uncle Zhuang turned his head and called Zhuang Nanyang out to help these soldier brothers with the lifting rope. They had such labor-saving tools, so why tire themselves out?
Zhuang Nanyang was a rather shy young man, not at all like his uncle, a typical burly man from the northeast.
After coming out and greeting everyone, he silently attached the rope to the steel cable, showed them how to use it, and then handed the control of the steel cable to Lin Cheng, standing by to watch.
"Hey! Young man, what's your name?" Zhao Rui, who was very outgoing, had a couple of people handle the remaining items with the pulley. He slung his arm over Zhuang Nanyang's shoulder, and the two behaved as if they were long-lost brothers, who would have thought they hadn't even exchanged names.
Zhuang Nanyang showed a bashful smile and politely said, "Hello, brother, my name is Zhuang Nanyang."
"I heard your dad call you Xiao Yang, so I'll call you that too. My name is Zhao Rui, you can call me Brother Rui. How old are you?"
"Brother Rui, I'm 18,"
"Good lad, have you ever thought about joining the military?"
