“What are you doing…”
Before Tan Wenhua could finish, Wan Yunting’s right hand, with three fingers pinching the beaked needle that had been sterilized with his qi, pressed the bruised wound on the little boy’s left chest, about two inches above his heart. He felt a distinct bulge.
This was a blood clot formed due to a severe external impact that caused a lung rupture and bleeding. It was already compressing the heart, causing the little boy’s heart rate to drop and him to cough up bloody foam.
Wan Yunting’s expression was focused. Ignoring Tan Wenhua and his two doctor assistants, he found the location of the bulge and unhesitatingly pierced it with the beaked needle…
Blood immediately gushed from under the skin, causing the expressions of Tan Wenhua and his two young doctor assistants to change dramatically. They were about to step forward to stop Wan Yunting from acting rashly.
Ssss…
In the next second, Wan Yunting withdrew the beaked needle, and a stream of blood shot out, splattering the faces of Tan Wenhua’s two young doctor assistants. Tan Wenhua was also stunned. He saw Wan Yunting continuously pressing the little boy’s left chest with his left hand. Blood continued to flow from the small hole pierced by the beaked needle, and the blood clot visibly receded.
Most crucially, the monitors showed that the rate of decrease in the little boy’s heart rate was gradually slowing down…
Wan Yunting turned the little boy’s head again, allowing him to spit out the bloody foam from his airway. His breathing quickly normalized, and the little boy even slightly opened his eyes, becoming conscious.
“This…”
This scene left Tan Wenhua and his two young doctor assistants in utter astonishment, completely shocked by Wan Yunting’s emergency rescue method.
“Heart rate has returned to normal. You should operate on him as soon as possible.”
Wan Yunting said to Tan Wenhua expressionlessly, and without further ado, he left with Gu Luotang.
Leaving Tan Wenhua and his two young doctor assistants staring at each other, they had truly witnessed the extraordinary nature of traditional Chinese medicine emergency rescue today, which began to change their views on TCM.
After all, in natural disasters like this, most of the injured suffered external wounds, so Western medicine played a huge role here.
However, looking at TCM doctors like Wan Yunting, they could only take care of the lightly injured victims here. For severe injuries, they had to be handed over to Western doctors for surgery.
Therefore, some doctors here simply looked down on Wan Yunting’s group of TCM doctors, believing that their TCM was only good for treating minor injuries, and that for severe external injuries, it was still up to Western medicine.
But now, Tan Wenhua and his two young doctor assistants, having just witnessed Wan Yunting’s calm and composed demeanor and his ability to resolve the little boy’s critical condition with a single beaked needle, had to re-evaluate TCM.
“Brother Yunting, you were amazing just now.”
Gu Luotang, who followed Wan Yunting out, couldn’t help but praise him, saying with a smile, “The expressions on Dr. Wenhua’s and the others’ faces were priceless.”
Wan Yunting smiled and turned to look at Gu Luotang, saying proudly, “Of course. After all, our TCM surgery is the progenitor of their Western surgery.”
“Exactly.”
Gu Luotang also nodded confidently and said happily, “They should see how formidable our TCM is…”
“Dr. Wan.”
Just then, Nie Xiaoyu and Gu Xiaozhuang, dressed in military uniforms, approached and said directly to Wan Yunting and Gu Luotang, “We have an urgent rescue mission that requires your assistance!”
Wan Yunting and Gu Luotang’s expressions froze. They looked at each other and nodded, saying, “Please tell us, Officer Nie, what is the mission?”
“Come with us first.”
Nie Xiaoyu led Wan Yunting and Gu Luotang into the command tent where their army was stationed. Inside, several computers were set up, and several technical soldiers were operating them.
A middle-aged officer in military uniform was standing in front of a map, which was a detailed topographical map of the Lingyun County and Fengshan County mountainous regions. At the same time, a young soldier was holding a tablet computer, reporting something to him.
“Sir, the people are here.”
Nie Xiaoyu, who had brought Wan Yunting and Gu Luotang in, saluted the middle-aged officer.
Cai Guowu turned around and looked at Wan Yunting, saying, “You are Wan Yunting, the one awarded as an anti-drug hero in Huadu City!”
Wan Yunting was surprised that the other party knew him and nodded politely, saying, “Yes, hello, Sir.”
Cai Guowu smiled and said, “Your medical rescue team from the Lingnan Traditional Chinese Medicine Association was the first rescue team to arrive at the disaster area after us. You are very impressive.”
Wan Yunting said humbly with a smile, “It is our duty.”
“Very good.”
Cai Guowu was very satisfied with Wan Yunting’s awareness. After all, they had investigated Wan Yunting’s background and knew that he had assisted the police in dismantling many international drug lords in areas like the Golden Triangle during the nationwide anti-drug operation a while ago.
Upon learning of such glorious achievements, the officers and soldiers like Cai Wu and Nie Xiaoyu were greatly shocked.
After all, Nie Xiaoyu was also a soldier of the guard, and had even secretly carried out missions, fighting against those heinous international drug trafficking forces, and knew the terror of drug traffickers.
Wan Yunting, by cooperating with the police as an undercover agent, infiltrated the Golden Triangle, successfully took down the largest drug trafficking force, and also helped the police arrest the big drug lord Pengka. Such capabilities were indeed not something ordinary people could achieve.
At the same time, Nie Xiaoyu and his team also knew that Wan Yunting had indeed been to prison, and it had only been a few months since his release.
“We called you here because there is a special but also very dangerous mission that requires your assistance.” Cai Guowu, having a basic understanding of Wan Yunting’s situation, did not need to be polite with him.
Wan Yunting looked at them and asked, “Sir, what is the mission?”
“Come here.”
Cai Guowu beckoned, and Wan Yunting and Gu Luotang stepped forward. He pointed to the map in front of them and said, “This mountain is called Lingshan, and it is also the largest mountain in Lingyun County!”
Wan Yunting and Gu Luotang looked at the large mountain displayed on the map under Cai Guowu’s finger. Cai Guowu said, “Five years ago, the state invested in Lingyun County and intended to connect Lingshan with Fengshan County, and then build a road to Baishi. This would save three hours of travel time.”
“Therefore, this tunnel has been under construction for five years. However, due to sudden tectonic changes in the mountainous region and the earthquake, this tunnel collapsed, and five tunnel construction engineers and twenty-three workers were all buried inside!”
Cai Guowu sighed and said, “Originally, we thought these people had been buried and died in the tunnel. But at four o’clock this morning, the person in charge of tunnel excavation sent us a distress signal, saying that those engineers and twenty-three tunnel workers were still alive and had sent a message for help!”
Wan Yunting, understanding, nodded and said, “Sir, you mean you want us to cooperate with you to form a rescue team to enter the tunnel and rescue those engineers and workers?”
“Yes.”
Cai Guowu nodded and said, “However, it’s not to enter from the tunnel itself, because this tunnel has basically completely collapsed, and it would be impossible to dig it open.”
“But the technical负责人 of this tunnel said that the people who are still alive inside sent a message saying that they have found a natural underground river channel, and now those survivors have entered the river channel to find another way out!”
“It’s here.”
Nie Xiaoyu, holding the tablet computer, zoomed in on the detailed 3D graphic of Lingshan and showed it to Wan Yunting. “There is an opening here. According to the explanation from the tunnel construction engineers, this opening leads to the entrance of an underground river under Lingshan. So we plan to enter from here to search and rescue the trapped people!”
Wan Yunting understood and asked, “Can we still contact the people trapped inside now?”
Cai Guowu shook his head and said, “The contact has been lost, possibly because their communication equipment ran out of power. So we need you to enter and search for them as soon as possible, find them, and bring them out safely!”
Wan Yunting nodded. Nie Xiaoyu said, “We don’t have enough manpower here, and the medical rescue team will arrive this afternoon. Therefore, we can only ask you to send a few people to assist us in the search and rescue. Are you willing?”
