Chapter 115 A real man doesn’t cry easily!
"understand!"

All the battalion officers answered in unison, and then returned to the camp. Led by the battalion commander, they led the team to once again engage in intensive rescue construction.

At this moment, a fire was burning in the heart of every soldier. They gritted their teeth, tried their best, and ran towards the river bank carrying sandbags.

After a short rest and some food, their strength was restored a little, and they now fought with all their strength, more bravely than before.

Because they don't have much precious time left, once the heavy rain comes, the water level will definitely rise sharply.

If the second line of defense is not built in time, countless lives may be swallowed up by the flood.

At this time, the reporters chasing gossip news had already left, and only the dedicated war correspondents were holding cameras, silently recording everything.

No one spoke at the scene and there was no time for communication.

Everyone just pursed their lips and tried their best to lift one sandbag after another.

The wind became more and more violent; the rain became heavier and heavier.

Although it was afternoon, the sky was as dark as night.

The heavy dark clouds made it hard to breathe, and such high-intensity work gradually exhausted Zhang Chuan's physical strength.

However, he still carried four bags of sand and ran quickly along the river bank.

"Hey, man, what's wrong with you? You're still sleeping at this critical moment. Get up!"

While Zhang Chuan was transporting sandbags, he noticed two soldiers.

One of them was curled up by the river bank as if he was asleep, while the other was calling him with a sandbag on his shoulder.

The soldier, who looked asleep, waved his hands weakly, as if to say he was fine.

Zhang Chuan took a look and was anxious to complete his task, so he didn't bother with it any more.

When he came back again, he found that the only person left in the place where he had been was the fallen soldier, curled up with his face buried in the ground.

Zhang Chuan frowned, a hint of ominousness flashed through his mind. He immediately activated the vital signs detection.

Oops! No heartbeat response!
Zhang Chuan quickly ran to the soldier, straightened his body and laid him flat on the ground.

First, I wiped the dirt off his face and made sure he could breathe easily. Then I quickly undressed him and started performing CPR.

"Medic! Someone come quickly! A soldier has fainted here!"

Zhang Chuan was saving people while shouting loudly. Soldiers who were busy moving sand noticed something was wrong and gathered around.

"Guangzi! Guangzi, what's wrong with you? Why did you suddenly faint? Wake up! Don't scare me!"

The soldier who had tried to wake Guangzi up just now recognized his companion, and rushed to Guangzi crying with a look of grief on his face.

Zhang Chuan didn't have time to comfort Guangzi, and he focused on performing cardiopulmonary resuscitation on him, racing against time with death.

Can't die!
You have to get through it!
Please, wake up soon!
Soon, the medical worker arrived and took over Zhang Chuan's job, continuing to perform cardiopulmonary resuscitation on Guangzi and injecting him with adrenaline, hoping to stimulate Guangzi's physical response.

As time passed, more and more comrades gathered around Guangzi, looking at him nervously and cheering for him silently in their hearts.

Five minutes have passed...

Ten minutes have passed...

Fifteen minutes have passed...

Twenty minutes later, Guangzi still showed no signs of waking up, and his body temperature was slowly dropping.

"Doctor Xu, forget it, it's really not going to work." A female nurse persuaded with tears in her voice. "No! There is still hope! I can definitely save him! He is just a child, and he has parents at home waiting for him to come home!"

Doctor Xu's eyes were red as he stared stubbornly at Guang Zi, who was lying lifeless on the ground.
"He's just exhausted. He will definitely pull through! We can't give up, we absolutely can't!"

"Doctor Xu, it's been 25 minutes! There's really no hope!"

The nurse covered her face with her hands, tears streaming down her face, her voice even sadder: "The effective rescue time has passed. Even if his heartbeat is restored, his brain will die due to prolonged lack of oxygen."

"Doctor Xu, you know this principle best! Do you want him to become a vegetable for the rest of his life?"

She almost pleaded.

"Shut up! It's not over yet! We can't give up! Look at him, look at this childish face, how can you bear to say that he is dead?"

There was still a glimmer of stubbornness in Dr. Xu's eyes. Although his arms were weak from the long rescue, he was still unwilling to stop.

The nurse next to him was already sobbing and turned away, not daring to look. Guangzi's squad leader was even more grief-stricken and needed someone to help him stand.

"What on earth is going on? It was fine just now, how come it's gone just like that?"

The squad leader asked painfully.

"He is only 18 years old! He just arrived at the company and joined us in flood control. More than an hour ago, I promised him that I would take him to eat roast duck after the mission was completed!"

"How come it's like this in just a short while? Wang Guangzi! Get up! Stop pretending to be dead!"

"Are you playing a prank on me with Fatty Wang again? Hurry up and get up! Otherwise, I'll make you run five kilometers!"

"Don't think you can bully me just because I'm easy to bully! Open your fucking eyes!"

The squad leader rushed to Guangzi like a madman, shouting heartbreakingly. The comrades around him were deeply moved by this scene.

However, no matter how the squad leader shouted, Guangzi never opened his eyes.

The squad leader grabbed Wang Pangzi's collar in a panic and shouted angrily, "Wang Pangzi, tell me the truth, is this a conspiracy between the two of you? Tell me now!"

Fatty Wang was shaking all over, sobbing and shaking his head: "Really not, I don't know why this happened..."

"I was just talking to him, and when I saw him fall to the ground, I asked him what happened, but he said it was nothing and urged me to go and reinforce the dam and not to worry about him."

"He looked like this when I came back from moving the sandbags... Squad leader, Guangzi...he can't be real..."

Before Fatty Wang could finish his words and mentioned the word "death", the squad leader slapped him hard in the face.

"Shut up! It's impossible! The doctor is here, he can definitely save Guangzi!" The squad leader's words seemed to hit the pain point in everyone's heart.

It is said that a real man does not cry easily, but at this time many comrades turned around and secretly wiped away the tears from the corners of their eyes.

Zhang Chuan stood aside, feeling as if a huge rock was pressing on his heart, and as if sand was grinding his eyes, the pain was unbearable. He had been monitoring the vital signs of Guangzi through the system, hoping for a miracle to happen.

But fate is so cruel that such vivid and lively young lives eventually left them.

Dr. Xu's hands were shaking from overexertion and constant CPR.

Thirty-five minutes passed quietly...

Although Zhang Chuan was unwilling to accept it in his heart, the reality could not be changed - Photon really left this world.

"Forget it, save some strength, there are many people who need you." Zhang Chuan walked to Doctor Xu, pulled him up from the ground, and persuaded him in a heavy tone.

"I can still do it. I can still do it..."
