Snowstorm: I'm Super Rich in the Apocalypse-Chapter 370: Rescue

Lu Ruisheng looked at Chen Fengzhou, crushed under the rubble, his severed legs trapped under the stones, the exposed parts soaked and already turned white in water. There were wounds all over him, showing signs of inflammation.

A doctor was amputating his limbs. Now, there was no other choice but to amputate and get him out as quickly as possible. Besides, given the extent of the damage to the legs, even if they weren’t amputated now, they would still have to be removed at the hospital.

He squatted down and called out Chen Fengzhou’s name, "Fengzhou, Chen Fengzhou, your aunt, uncle, and cousin are here. You have to hold on."

Qin Jun also called out to him, "Fengzhou, hang in there, we’re all here for you."

Upon hearing his name, Chen Fengzhou slightly opened his eyes and pointed to a gap next to him, "Jiajia, save Jiajia."

Everyone’s hope was ignited when Chen Fengzhou said this, proof that Yang Jia was still alive.

Lu Ruisheng and the rescue team hurriedly dug from the other side to avoid shaking their side.

Gu Pan’s heart lifted again upon hearing the discussions around her.

The sound of the various rescue equipment tugged at everyone’s heart.

After a while, Lu Ruisheng and the rescuers lifted Chen Fengzhou out. His legs were wrapped in gauze below the knees, and since it wasn’t the final treatment, it looked even more terrifying.

Wang Lijuan nearly passed out at the sight, but Gu Pan and Qin Qianqian had given her a lot of mental preparation beforehand. Still, she managed to approach the stretcher and said to Chen Fengzhou, "Fengzhou, your aunt is here. Don’t be afraid."

Chen Fengzhou’s hand moved.

Wang Lijuan and Qin Qianqian followed the ambulance to the hospital.

Qin Jun and Lu Ruisheng went back to help rescue Yang Jia, as the life detection system confirmed there was still life below.

Gu Pan also went to help, following Lu Ruisheng and the others’ commands completely.

Quickly, they found Yang Jia, who had been dug out unconscious with a head injury.

Another ambulance took Yang Jia to the hospital. This time Gu Pan and Lu Ruisheng followed as well, deeply worried about their two friends with serious injuries. They wanted to hear what the doctor had to say before they could be at ease.

Although they were anxious about the situation in Entertainment City, at the edge of life and death here, there was another concern: Gu Pan feared the hospital might be short on medicine. This was no secret since the apocalypse was almost five years in, how could any medicine not expire? The base’s pharmaceutical system was only starting, and far from perfect. Now, many patients were dying due to the lack of medicine.

Recently, the base doctors had borrowed traditional Chinese medicine books from Feng Zhekai and learned acupuncture. With no way to get herbs, it really was a time of desperate attempts for any possible cure.

Arriving at the hospital emergency room, Feng Zhekai greeted them, saying Chen Fengzhou had already been taken to the operating room and told them not to worry.

Then he saw Yang Jia being wheeled in and hurriedly followed into the ER for emergency treatment.

Gu Pan and the others waited at the door, watching doctors rush in and out with medicine and equipment.

After a while, Feng Zhekai came out, "It’s not looking good. The hospital hasn’t had adrenaline for months, so now we can only leave it to fate."

Gu Pan quickly asked, "What if we had adrenaline?"

Feng Zhekai knew of Gu Pan and Lu Ruisheng’s abilities and that they could obtain many things, but this: "What can be obtained now has also expired too long."

Gu Pan said, "But we can’t just wait to die. Hold on, I’ll go get some."

Pulling Lu Ruisheng with her, she left the emergency room. Just as they reached the door, she turned back to ask Feng Zhekai, "What other medicines might we need? What about Chen Fengzhou over there? The imported antibiotics, do we need them?"

Feng Zhekai nodded urgently, "If we have them, the likelihood of those two surviving will increase significantly."

Gu Pan quickly pulled Lu Ruisheng along, rode the motorcycle home to make it seem like they had a reason to fetch something, and then returned to the hospital with a box of medicine.

Feng Zhekai was waiting at the entrance. Seeing them come back, he approached, "How’s Yang Jia? Did you bring the medicine?"

Gu Pan handed the medicine box to Feng Zhekai, "Hurry up and take it inside. Use whatever you can."

Feng Zhekai’s trust in his own people was as strong as the trust in himself. Without even checking the box, he took it straight inside.

Half an hour later, Feng Zhekai returned with their medicine box, breathing a sigh of relief, "Yang Jia has pulled through by a thread, but that’s just the first hurdle. He hasn’t woken up yet and needs to be observed in the intensive care unit. Only when he wakes up can we say he’s truly out of danger."

Gu Pan breathed a sigh of relief too, "At least there’s hope."

Just then, an ambulance brought in a few more injured people outside, and Feng Zhekai handed the medicine box to Gu Pan, "These are personal medicines; make sure you keep them safe."

Gu Pan understood; with the current shortage of medicine, these were their private possessions, valuable no matter how they were obtained, and couldn’t be just commandeered and used carelessly.

She reclaimed the medicine box and said to Lu Ruisheng and Qin Jun, "Let’s go see if Chen Fengzhou needs any medicine over there."

Qin Jun, familiar with the hospital layout, led them straight to the operating room where they found Wang Lijuan and Qin Qianqian.

Wang Lijuan was hugging Qin Jun, tears streaming down her face. Truth be told, although she had lived through the apocalypse for many years, she had always followed the base and so had never faced much danger. This kind of crisis was new to her.

Gu Pan pulled Qin Qianqian aside and asked, "How is it? What did the doctors say? Any difficulties?"

Qin Qianqian replied, "The doctors say they’re short on medicine, so they’re not sure. My cousin had both legs amputated; the risk is too high."

Gu Pan quickly said to Qin Jun, "Uncle Qin, try to get a message to the doctors inside, tell them we have medicine, and let them come out to take what they need."

Qin Jun patted his wife’s back and then quickly went to arrange it.

Soon after, a female doctor in her forties came out and looked at them in disbelief, "Are you sure you have medicine?"

Gu Pan quickly handed over the medicine box. Since it wasn’t Feng Zhekai, she couldn’t just give the box directly to the other party, but instead said, "Doctor, please take a look and use whatever you need."

The doctor looked at the medicines and was indeed shocked. She had a keen eye and immediately found the drugs she needed, hurriedly taking them out, "You have all these?"

Gu Pan said, "We hope the doctor can save Chen Fengzhou’s life."

The doctor took the medicines and affirmed, "I will do my best." Then, she hurried back into the operating room.

Families that could obtain these kinds of medicines nowadays were not common. Given that the hospital’s supplies were limited and many had to give up because they lacked medicine, this doctor was going to try even harder to save the patient.

When Wang Lijuan heard what they were saying, she came to her senses and grabbed Gu Pan’s hand, "Panpan, it’s always you who come to help. If it weren’t for you, we would only be at the mercy of fate."

Gu Pan consoled Wang Lijuan, "We are Chen Fengzhou’s friends; isn’t that also fate’s arrangement? We all hope he can keep living."
