Xiao Li’s question seemed to fall into a bottomless pit, with no response for a long time. Xiao Li turned her head to ask the rescue personnel clearing the things above, "How much longer?" No one answered, everyone was in the midst of the rescue, but then an aftershock occurred. Although the tremor wasn’t strong, everyone evacuated in time during the shaking, but the area they were rescuing from collapsed again, and the trapped individuals were buried once more. Lying on the ground, Xiao Li waved away the dust in front of her eyes, trying to see clearly. During the aftershock, someone pushed Xiao Li aside to a safer place. When she was pushed away, the IV bag she was holding fell. Amidst the swirling dust, Xiao Li saw the rescue personnel going forward to save again, so she hurried over too. After a period of effort, when the trapped individuals were rescued, they showed no signs of life. Watching a vibrant life vanish in an instant, even after being a doctor for years, Xiao Li still found it hard to accept! Although she often faced life and death in the hospital, unless it was an emergency or ICU case, patients from other departments didn’t usually die right after admission. Even patients in the late stages of cancer, sentenced to death after going to a hospital, wouldn’t die immediately. As doctors, they would look at the patient’s medical records and know the patient wasn’t going to make it, but at least they had some idea of how long they could live. Something happening in an instant was really hard to accept. The main thing was, she was right there, knowing well that his life was slipping away, but unable to save him, the sense of helplessness was too strong. Xiao Li felt sorrow, but there was no time for her to release her emotions, and just when she was about to cry, someone nearby called for a doctor, and she grabbed the emergency kit and rushed over. This earthquake affected several counties in Linhai City, with Basha County not being the hardest hit, so not many people were sent to support for now; most went to the neighboring Bazhong County that suffered more. Xiao Li and her team were among the first medical teams sent here for support besides the county’s own medical teams. Even though the situation here wasn’t the most severe, the current rescue force was still insufficient; at the very least, they were short on doctors. Xiao Li initially thought they would be heading directly to the main base to treat the injured, but before they even reached the base, the scene was already this busy. The rescued individuals received simple treatments on site and were sent to the main base, but it’s unclear if there were enough people at the base? The sky gradually darkened, and there were fewer and fewer medical personnel on site; many had just escorted the injured back to the base. Xiao Li had also just escorted an injured person back to the base. There was chaos within the main base; they needed to treat the already admitted patients and handle the continuously arriving ones. Doctors and nurses were all extremely busy. Fortunately, though busy, it wasn’t chaotic. The road ahead had also been cleared, with rescue materials and supporting personnel arriving continuously. However, even though she thought she’d see Uncle soon, he hadn’t shown up until the fourth day. Xiao Li knew he must have come, but she didn’t know where he was helping. Three days ago, Qin Xiao had already arrived in Bazhong County; he originally came to deliver supplies, planning to go to Basha County afterward because he knew Xiao Li was supporting there, and wanted to join her, so he could both support and keep track of her situation. Check latest chapters at 𝔫𝔬𝔳𝔢𝔩·𝔣𝔦𝔯𝔢·𝔫𝔢𝔱 But when he arrived in Bazhong County, he found they were severely understaffed, so he had no choice but to join the rescue there. He also tried to contact Xiao Li, but the communication had not yet been restored, making contact impossible. After another rescue was completed, Qin Xiao rested on a recliner, and Feng Ye approached, "Second Master, I just asked, the rescue in Basha County isn’t over yet, Madam should still be there." Qin Xiao nodded, "The rescue here is almost done, inform our people to go to Basha County." Within Basha County, Xiao Li and several others from the medical team and the armed police were heading to Li Family Village with some villagers. Quite a few villagers had snuck back, and as a result, an aftershock occurred, burying some people. It’s unclear what the condition of the buried individuals is? The rescuers all went, and doctors followed too. Upon reaching Li Family Village, the rescuers immediately began their efforts, while Xiao Li led some to bandage the lightly injured first. The buried individuals have not been rescued yet, so these doctors couldn’t help much. "A doctor, please..." Upon hearing this, Xiao Li ran over immediately, "What’s the situation?" "Two people are buried underneath, we can’t get them out at once. Can you check their conditions first?" The two people trapped were a couple, during the initial earthquake, they hadn’t taken much from their home; now days had passed with only mild aftershocks occasionally, so they thought it was safe and wanted to return home to get some money and valuable items. Then an aftershock struck as soon as they returned, and this time it was stronger, directly collapsing their house. The two were less than a meter apart at this moment, the rescue team first found the man, and only knew his wife was also trapped behind him after he mentioned it. The man’s upper body was free, showing only his legs were trapped, while his upper body had nothing more than some scrapes without any major injuries. As for the woman, she was still inside, completely unseen, her condition unknown. Xiao Li first asked a few questions, seeing the man responding fluently with good mental status, he should be okay. With effort, enough space was finally created to rescue them, the man was saved first; his legs had been crushed and deformed, and in this state, they could only send him back to the main base. As for the woman, she showed no signs of life. The ambulance arrived, and Xiao Li accompanied the man onto it, but halfway down the road, a landslide occurred, and all Xiao Li knew next was that after hearing a loud noise, she lost consciousness. Qin Xiao had just arrived at the Basha County main base and heard Xiao Li had gone to the village for rescue, so he was about to rush there. However, then it was reported that a landslide had occurred on the road ahead, blocking it again. Bringing some people to the site, Qin Xiao saw the armed police clearing the road and immediately joined them. For some reason, he felt a wave of panic in his heart. When they had cleared halfway through the blockage and seeing the overturned ambulance, Qin Xiao suddenly hesitated to go closer. When the ambulance’s back door was opened, and he saw Xiao Li inside with a face full of blood, a chord snapped in Qin Xiao’s mind. In the main base, Xiao Li was pushed in for emergency treatment. The ambulance driver and the accompanying nurse were also sent in for treatment. As for the injured patient, he had already died at the scene. In front of the emergency room, Qin Xiao looked somewhat blankly at the blood on his hands; it was all Xiao Li’s blood, her head had been injured, and she had a wound on her left chest, these severe injuries made Qin Xiao’s hands tremble with fear!
