Chapter 70: The dam bursts and the thousand-year-old city is in danger!
“Swish…”
The rain is still heavy.
After seeing off Zhao Zhuguo and his group, Lin Yan still sat in the gymnasium, treating the disaster victims who had been queuing behind old man Hou Anning and had not had time to see a doctor.
Although he has top-notch medical skills, he has no real outpatient experience after all. The long hours of continuous work and a high-intensity operation are still a bit overwhelming for him, and he feels more and more that the front-line medical staff in China have a hard time.
"Yan, are you okay? Why don't you take a rest first? You haven't eaten anything except a few pieces of bread and water, let alone rest. If you continue like this, your body won't be able to bear it."
Martha touched Lin Yan's already slightly pale cheek with heartache.
Lin Yan slapped her hand away and scolded her with a smile: "Go away, go away, how can you say something like 'I can't take it' to a man? My body is so strong that I can do 72 rounds in a row without any effort. Martha, you haven't seen it now, but there will be plenty of opportunities in the future to slowly see whether I can last."
Martha blushed and said angrily, "Yan! You are saying these indecent things again!"
Lin Yan: "Well, it's okay. Look, it's all dealt with. It's a small matter. Don't worry."
It is now 11 o'clock in the evening. Lin Yan has finally finished dealing with the last case, and a busy day has come to an end.
Although there were no more sudden and difficult problems like a ruptured spleen, there were still all kinds of major and minor illnesses. From minor injuries such as collisions and smashes to major injuries such as asthma, palpitations, and appendicitis, Lin Yan had seen a lot that day.
The vast majority of people could be dealt with with just a simple diagnosis and a few pills, but there were also some troublesome situations that required Lin Yan to perform a simple surgery to resolve, and this was the culprit that kept him busy until midnight.
Of course, all these efforts paid off.
Thanks to the presence of Lin Yan, the "miracle doctor of the time", the people temporarily housed in the gymnasium felt unprecedented peace of mind. As long as the water did not flood this small hill, they would feel safer than staying at home.
Seeing many people sleeping peacefully in the gymnasium, not panicking about the heavy rain and flooding outside, the happiness welling up from deep inside is hard for outsiders to understand.
Looking at the still raging rain and thunder outside the window, it was impossible for Lin Yan to say that he was not worried.
"It has been raining non-stop today. It has been so heavy from the beginning to the end. How much rainfall is this? I'm afraid that a year's rain has fallen in just one day."
However, "worry" is the most useless emotion. It cannot solve any problems and will only lead to internal friction. Lin Yan has tried his best to bring himself "peace of mind" through his actions today, and he can't do better.
Believe it, believe that the united Chang'an City can overcome this sudden disaster.
At this time, the live broadcast room had become a little quieter as the Chinese audience went to sleep. Foreign friends were still amazed at the amazing order shown by the Chinese people in this temporary resettlement site.
"I've never seen anything like this! The family was hit by a disaster, and they fled for safety, but they were able to maintain such good public order. No one was robbing, no one was beating women, and they were even willing to line up! Whether they were getting food or seeing a doctor, they were all lining up! Have you ever seen a disaster-stricken place that was so safe?"
"They can even sleep! God, I still remember how I tossed and turned and couldn't sleep the first night when I was forced to leave my hometown by the wildfire!"
"They don't seem to worry about losing their houses at all? Is it my illusion? Isn't it said that Huaxia attaches great importance to houses? Are their insurances also very complete?"
"I don't understand. Let me tell you one thing. When our area was hit by a flood, we went to the official resettlement site and could only live in tents that were leaky. We couldn't even think about food. But here they not only have hot dishes, cakes, and mattresses, but they can even take a shower! Does this look like taking refuge?"
"Damn, if you want to talk about this, have you forgotten the beginning of this temporary shelter? How long had it been raining at that time? All kinds of mattresses, food, medicines, and even simple operating tables were delivered here! Can you expect such rapid delivery of supplies somewhere else?" Looking at the chattering of foreign netizens, Lin Yan chuckled and felt that his depressed mood was relieved a lot.
Yes, this is the efficiency of our China’s disaster relief. What? Are you dissatisfied?
He whispered to the camera in the live broadcast room:
"Okay, my friends, as you can see, we had some accidents today. Now that everyone is asleep, we don't have anything to continue live streaming, and there is no environment that allows live streaming, so today's live streaming ends here... Hmm? Who called me so late?"
It's already 11 o'clock at night?
What made his pupils shrink the most was that the caller ID showed that the person on call was - Lao Daqiang!
"Brother Qiang, what happened? Why are you calling me so late?"
Lin Yan instinctively felt that something big had happened!
Sure enough, Su Qiang's extremely anxious voice came from the other end of the phone:
"Yanzi, are you still in the gymnasium now?"
"Yes, what's the matter? Why are you in such a hurry?"
"Get ready right now. I'll come pick you up right now! I'm sorry I said before that civilians can't go to the front line. Now the sky has fallen, everyone has to go! We retired soldiers will be the first to go to the front line!"
Lin Yan stood up immediately:
"What's going on? Explain it to me clearly, Su Qiang! What's the matter? What's the problem? Is it the river?"
"Good boy, even after so many years of retirement, your nose is still so sharp! You guessed right, the Orange River has collapsed! The entire embankment is at risk of bursting! If you weren't in Chang'an City, you probably wouldn't know how serious the situation is - if this river really collapses, half of Chang'an City will be gone!"
Lin Yan: "!!! You still have time to call me now? Where is the person? Where did he die? Take me there quickly! Quickly!!! Damn it!"
He slapped himself hard!
The news that Su Qiang brought was too horrifying. When Lin Yan thought that half of Chang'an City might be in danger, he subconsciously yelled, completely forgetting that this was a gymnasium and many people were already asleep!
Hearing this roar, countless people woke up from their dreams and looked at him with sleepy eyes. They found that it was this "miracle doctor" who was shouting, and they suddenly became panicked.
"What's wrong? What's wrong, Doctor Su? Who's sick again? If you need any help, we will definitely cooperate!"
Facing the anxious gazes of many people, Lin Yan waved his hands desperately, pretending to be calm and saying that everything was fine, so that people could sleep peacefully.
He did put many people at ease, but only——
"Yan, Juekou...what does it mean?"
Martha has always been by Lin Yan's side.
It was raining heavily when Su Qiang made the call, so his voice was quite loud and was heard clearly by Martha next to him.
She didn't know what a "breach" was, but she knew that something huge must have happened!
Otherwise, how could Yan be so anxious!
