Chapter VI
During the period when Mo Ran entered the operating room to check the cause of the firefighter's death, several rescue vehicles arrived in the emergency hall one after another.
The scene that had been predicted for the influx of a large number of wounded was delayed. As in the previous situation, each rescue vehicle pulled more than a dozen injured people, but less than 30% survived.
As more and more rescue vehicles arrived, the ward was not full, but the corpses in the yard were densely piled up.
By the wee hours of the morning, there were no more rescue vehicles to take the wounded to the hospital.
Zhang Ting, who was wearing protective clothing, stood guard at the door with several nurses, looking anxiously out of the door.
"You say, why didn't anyone send the wounded to us?"
Another intern nurse, who had just entered the hospital not long ago, hugged Zhang Ting's arm tremblingly.
"Sister Ting, I think it's so terrible, you see that most of the wounded sent are dead. Do you think everyone else is dead? ”
Zhang Ting patted the back of her hand.
"Don't think about it, maybe the injured were assigned to another hospital at the scene, or maybe the people watching the beach at that time ran into the buildings to take refuge, maybe the buildings and streets were seriously damaged, but in fact, there were not many injuries."
When she said this, she didn't have much confidence, and her voice became lower and lower.
"But I don't think so. I ......"
"Alright."
Zhang Ting interrupted her speculation with a loud voice.
"Director Mo is checking the cause of death of the deceased in the operating room, don't think about it, take advantage of the fact that you are not busy now, quickly call home to see what the family is doing and whether it is safe."
When a cleaner aunt next to her heard this, she squatted down with her mobile phone in her hand and cried.
"What kind of phone call, our hospital is now using its own emergency power supply equipment. Outside, there was a power outage in the whole city, and the signal was gone, and the phone couldn't get through at all. ”
Zhang Ting frowned and turned her head to look at the cleaning aunt.
"I just contacted the hospital and the CDC, and there was still a signal at that time."
The little nurse next to her tugged at her arm.
"It's because our mobile phone suddenly has no signal, and now there may be a landline, but now except for the office, almost no one at home uses the landline."
The hall fell silent again, everyone sat on the row of chairs in the reception hall with their heads bowed and shoulder to shoulder, and no one knew what else they could do at this moment.
In the intensive care unit, various equipment and instruments were ticking and ticking in an orderly manner, and Lian Yue, who was naked on the hospital bed, slowly opened his eyes.
He was trained in resistance to various agents, and this level of tranquilizers and painkillers was useless to him.
The fragment of his memory stopped the moment the floor-to-ceiling window in front of him was shattered, and he knew that he had been shot through the center of his left eyebrow.
But the sensations coming from his body clearly told him that he was not dead.
Gently moved his hands and feet, and the metal shackles on his hands and feet made a crisp impact sound in the quilt.
Turning his eyes to look around, his left eye was a little blurry, and it was covered with a thin layer of blue light.
This is supposed to be a hospital ward, and there is a guard at the door who is standing straight in an isolation gown.
The guard didn't seem to hear the handcuffs and leg cuffs moving in the room just now because of the isolation suit.
But what made Lian Yue feel strange was that he obviously had antibodies to anesthetics and painkillers, which was not the kind of lethal dosage and had no effect on his wounds, but at the moment, he couldn't feel any pain on his eyebrow bone.
However, it didn't matter, he slowly closed his eyes again.
It's not that he can't untie the little handcuffs and leg cuffs, and it's not because there are guards at the door who can't escape.
A few more people can't stop him either.
However, he didn't want to.
Just died, and after that, there is no difference.
Those who should be punished have been killed.
I only hope that after I die, I can see my parents and Lian Su again, so that I can repay my apologies for not being able to protect her.
In the operating room, Mo Ran took off his gloves and mask, and slowly walked out of the operating room.
So far, the firefighter has only burns on his back and arms, and no fatal wounds.
He also checked the respiratory tract, and the firefighters wore isolation masks and inhaled not a lot of air with toner, so the cause of death could not have been lung poisoning.
For now, there's only about one possibility.
That is, the meteorite falling from this meteor shower may have some kind of lethal radiation.
But the strange thing is here, whether it is the security guard at the entrance of the hospital, or the several injured people she has seen later. They are also people who have been in direct contact with meteor showers in the outside world, and they all have varying degrees of burns on their bodies.
But they survived, and the wounds on their bodies did not deteriorate, but quickly scabbed.
And the blue attachment that can be faintly seen under the flesh, what is it?
Mo Ran pinched the bridge of his nose weakly and walked to the emergency hall to check the situation.
But the nurses in charge of triage in the hall all sat in rows of chairs with nothing to do.
"What's going on?"
Zhang Ting saw Mo Ran come out, and hurriedly stood up and greeted him.
"Director Mo..... Since you entered, there has been no rescue vehicle to drop you off. ”
And so far, none of the doctors who have been notified have returned.
Mo Ran pinched his sore temples, walked to the triage desk, picked up the landline, and called the hotel lobby.
"Hello?"
Someone picks up.
"Hey, can you help me turn around room 1206, my name is Mo Ran, and it was my boyfriend who stayed in room 1206, and I was with him when I checked in. You can check the records. ”
The voice on the phone seemed a little panicked.
"I'm sorry, Miss Mo, our hotel has flooded with a lot of injuries who are watching the beach view, they have occupied all the hotel rooms, and many of our staff have fainted due to poisoning caused by inhaling the air outside, and now there is no way to check whether each guest is still safe in the room. I can only help you transfer, but we can't guarantee if there is anyone in the house, or if it is the original guest. ”
Mo Ran suppressed the emotions in his heart, gritted his teeth and snorted.
"Well, you can help me turn it first."
The staff pressed a few numbers, and the call was smoothly transferred to room 1206.
The phone beeped a few times, and the other end was picked up.
"Fan Qing? Is that you? ”
"Xiao Ran? You okay? I've called your cell phone, but I can't get through? Are you safe now? In the hospital? ”
Mo Ran nodded vigorously.
"I'm in the hospital, and I can't say a word or two about my current condition. How's it going over there? ”
Liao Fanqing paused for a moment and stumbled.
"Well, it's okay, I'm fine. I'm just worried about you. ”
Mo Ran knew that he was safe now, and breathed a sigh of relief.
"Fan Qing, when can you go back to the hospital, do you have any rescue vehicles to send to us, you come along, pay attention to your mouth and nose breathing, there seems to be a problem with the air outside. I examined a patient who died innocently in the middle of the road, I can't figure out some problems now, the CDC has not sent a research team to deal with it, and now there are only a few doctors on duty in the inpatient department, and the doctors left behind in the emergency department are inexperienced, I need your help. ”
Mo Ran said a lot to himself, but the other end of the phone fell silent.
"Xiao Ran. As you can see, it's not just that there are toxic substances in the air outside, but there may be some kind of unknown radiation in the space we are in. To go out now is to be sent to death. ”
Liao Fanqing lowered her voice and said softly into the microphone.
"Most of the injuries that have just poured in from the hotel are no longer able to do so, and they don't even have the strength to act. On the other side of the beach, there was no sign of survival at all from the window, and even the rescue team members who came to the rescue before were now gone. ”
Mo Ran frowned, full of disbelief for Liao Fanqing's words.
"So, you were in the hotel, you didn't treat the wounded, and after receiving the notice to return to work, you stayed in the hotel and didn't move?"
Liao Fanqing was silent, and then said.
"Xiao Ran, I know that we medical workers are aiming to treat diseases and save people, but now, if you look at the current situation, what is the use of just trying to save people? The whole city was ruined. Don't worry, it's almost dawn now, when the dust here clears a little, I'll find a car to pick you up in the yard, okay? You prepare two sets of protective suits, and I'll take you away. Let's go back ... ”
“。。。”
Mo Ran hung up the phone in silence, ignoring Liao Fanqing's earnest persuasion on the phone.
The sky gradually brightened, and the morning scene of the city outside the door gradually became clearer.
The dilapidated streetscape, the dead silence.
