Urban Miracle Doctor-Chapter 298: Seeking Your Help to Save Jiangcheng

"Director, I suggest escalating Jiangcheng city’s epidemic level to top grade and go through the special channel. Right now here, it’s..."

"A sight too horrific to endure!"

Fang Keming watched as several doctors lifted a patient who was already coughing up blood onto a hospital bed, seeing the amount of blood coughed up, the lungs must have been severely damaged, he said.

"I understand! Survive!" After the director hung up the phone, he didn’t even bother to put on his coat before rushing out of his office, shouting as he walked, "Car, car, get the car ready! Quick!"

As soon as Zhongzhou received the call for help from Jiangcheng city, they immediately arranged for airplanes to transport the required experimental equipment and medicine to Jiangcheng and reported the situation to the higher authorities governing Zhongzhou.

Upon learning of the situation, Ming Xizhi hurried to Jiangcheng without delay.

Subsequently, major hospitals in Zhongzhou urgently dispatched doctors to go to Jiangcheng; the Zhongzhou military and martial arts association immediately opened an emergency rescue channel to transport doctors and supplies to Jiangcheng by helicopter, while other non-urgent supplies were transported by land.

For a moment, watching the airplanes taking off one by one, the hearts of the citizens of Zhongzhou were also instantly lifted, praying that Jiangcheng city must hold on this time.

Major media outlets began reporting on the situation in Jiangcheng city.

"A sudden downpour in Jiangcheng city turned it into a waterlogged city, trapping residents..."

"After the disaster in Jiangcheng city, everyone worked together to fight the floodwaters, thankfully without any casualties."

"A large-scale epidemic broke out in Jiangcheng city. Infected individuals went from weakness to coughing up blood in merely three hours."

Every news broadcast touched the hearts of people across the nation; everyone was praying for Jiangcheng.

That evening, news came from Jiangcheng that the city was closed due to the epidemic’s spread.

Qin Han and Song Yuwei watched the successive news reports in silence. Song Yuwei was gripping Qin Han’s hand tightly, her palms sweaty with tension.

Qin Han was frowning, deep in thought.

It’s a regular occurrence for epidemics to follow floods, with the rotting corpses of humans and animals forming bacteria and thus causing epidemics.

However, the spread of such an epidemic would usually take place several days after a flood. Good preventative measures and disinfection work can even prevent a large-scale outbreak.

But in the case of Jiangcheng city, the epidemic broke out just after the floodwaters receded, which was quite baffling.

The next day, after working through the night to prepare rescue supplies, Qingshi Wangfei was ready. Seeing the trains leaving the company one by one, Song Yu turned a corner to hope that their modest contribution would be of help.

Soon after, Song Yuwei said to Xiang Xiao, "Xiaoxiao, contact the suppliers in Shangjing and Jingshi right away; we need a large number of epidemic masks, and make sure they are epidemic masks!"

Xiang Xiao acknowledged and hurriedly made arrangements.

The previous night, Song Yuwei and Qin Han discussed how to help Jiangcheng to the greatest extent possible.

Qin Han was also at the medical center early in the morning, getting Zhang Yalin to prepare a list of the herbs he needed because Qin Han was going to Jiangcheng!

While everyone was busy, the TV broadcast a piece of news:

"Due to the failure of epidemic control in Jiangcheng city, nearly three-quarters of the residents have been infected. Despite the tireless efforts of doctors, the casualties were massive. Therefore, Director Ming had no choice but to order a complete closure of Jiangcheng city!"

"This is reporter Lian Ping reporting live from the scene!"

Everyone was shocked as they watched the TV. An ordinary city closure would only restrict human movement, but a complete closure meant that supplies could only be delivered by air.

Everything was for one purpose: to minimize contact with the pathogen as much as possible.

But at this point, the severity of the epidemic in Jiangcheng was unknown.

Qin Han was stunned for a moment before continuing to pack his things, loading the items onto a vehicle along with Zhong Yuanliang.

"Uncle Master!" Zhong Yuanliang said cautiously.

Qin Han glanced at Zhong Yuanliang and said indifferently, "If it’s about coming with me, don’t even mention it."

Zhong Yuanliang looked at Qin Han with a complex expression on his face and said firmly, "I am not afraid of dying!"

"I am!" Qin Han patted Zhong Yuanliang on the shoulder and said with a smile, "You are the future successor of the Zhong family, and besides, you wouldn’t be of much help if you went."

"But you..." Zhong Yuanliang stubbornly looked at Qin Han.

"I’ll be fine, don’t forget my best skill is my medical skills!"

"But this is a plague!"

"That’s exactly why I must go!"

"There are so many doctors there already!"

"A doctor never fears death! They are human too, I am no nobler than they are!"

The two spoke rapidly, but Qin Han conveyed his determination to Zhong Yuanliang.

A ringtone interrupted their conversation. Qin Han took out his phone to look, this time he did not hang up, but answered the call and immediately asked, "How’s the situation in Jiangcheng?"

"The situation is grim!" came Sun Pinghui’s weak voice from the phone, followed by severe coughing.

Hearing the voice on the phone, Qin Han frowned and asked, "Are you infected?"

"Heh, this plague is different from the ones before, its mode of transmission is very peculiar, it’s not just airborne."

"Kid Qin, listen to me, I am calling you not to have you come over, but to tell you not to come!" Sun Pinghui’s voice grew weaker after a bout of severe coughing.

"You know I will definitely go!" Qin Han said calmly.

"That’s why I’m calling you. Kid Qin, you are the hope of our traditional Chinese medicine. The situation here is out of control, and your coming would be a senseless sacrifice to the caused... " Sun Pinghui’s words were cut off by another fit of violent coughing.

"Don’t talk anymore. I’ll be there as fast as I can!" Qin Han said and hung up the phone.

"We interrupt this broadcast with an update: Due to the power grid failure in Jiangcheng, we can only report live to you via radio."

"The number of patients around me is increasing, everyone is huddling together, taking care of each other. Our white-clad angels are not afraid, they stand with them through it all."

"Just moments ago, the Honorary Dean of Zhongzhou First Hospital, Mr. Sun Pinghui, was also infected with the plague and is currently undergoing emergency treatment."

"The purpose of this broadcast is to tell everyone that although the situation in Jiangcheng is critical, we will not leave, we will not bring the virus to others outside, please rest assured."

"This is Lian Ping, reporting on the scene!"

Qin Han listened to the broadcast on the television and to the blank screen, feeling a sudden jolt in his heart.

He understood why it was a blank screen; Longguo did not block the transmission of news but closed off satellite imagery. There could only be one reason for this. Jiangcheng must be enduring something horrific right now.

The phone which had just been hung up rang again at this moment. When Qin Han thought it might be Sun Pinghui calling, he realized it was an unfamiliar number.

"Hello, who is this?"

"Is this Doctor Qin from Qin’s Medical Clinic?" came a cheerful voice over the phone.

"Yes, that’s me. And you are?"

"This is Lian Ping!" said the voice on the other side of the call.

Qin Han didn’t speak, and the voice from the phone spoke again, "Doctor Qin, I am the same Lian Ping who wrote those hit pieces about you."

"I know the past incident made you very upset, but I’m calling because I want to ask you for a favor!"

"Have you heard about the situation in Jiangcheng? The situation there is very bleak, and I know your medical skills are superb. I’m begging you to save Jiangcheng!"
