CHAPTER 1497: CHAPTER 1498: RESCUE, RESCUE

You quickly looked and rushed to pull up Liang Xinyue’s shirt at her waist, only to find a slender, rusty iron needle pierced into the left side of her waist! The skin around the wound showed a necrotic purple color, looking very serious.

"She must be treated immediately, or she could easily develop tetanus!" Mayor Liang hurriedly exclaimed.

"Doctor!" You quickly stood up, holding Liang Xinyue, and shouted around, "Who is a doctor?"

"I am!" A middle-aged woman hurried over, quickly examined Liang Xinyue’s wound, and then anxiously said to you, "Her condition is quite severe, but the county hospital and clinics have all collapsed, and we don’t even have the basic medicines available!"

Without saying a word, you quickly laid Liang Xinyue down on a flat surface, then opened your backpack, took out a small potion bottle without any label from it, and then retrieved a small syringe from the backpack.

As you inserted the small syringe into the small potion bottle and drew out the semi-transparent liquid, the middle-aged woman hurriedly asked you, "What medicine is that?"

You glanced at the middle-aged woman and said calmly, "Military peptide antitoxin."

The middle-aged woman was taken aback and didn’t expect you to have such a thing, immediately saying to you, "Just draw 10 milliliters; military-grade antitoxin is much stronger than civilian ones, and she’s just a child, she won’t be able to take it."

"Hmm." Nodding, after drawing out ten milliliters of antitoxin, you skillfully injected the potion into Liang Xinyue’s veins.

The middle-aged woman was very nervous at first and wanted to do it herself, but seeing how adept you were, she didn’t say anything. After the injection, she couldn’t help but nod, realizing that you had ample experience in this area.

After the injection, you packed your backpack, picked up the unconscious Liang Xinyue, and said to Mayor Liang, "Mayor Liang, I must immediately take Xinyue to Dujiangyan; only there can she receive the best treatment."

"That’s too dangerous!" the middle-aged woman exclaimed anxiously.

Mayor Liang looked at you, nodded, and said, "You go, I believe you will take good care of her."

Without further ado, you picked up Liang Xinyue and quickly walked back the way you came.

After taking a few steps, you heard the voice of a young photographer behind you, "Wait a moment!"

Turning around, you heard a "click" as the young man took another photo of you.

The young man said to you, "Comrade of the Liberation Army, do you know how to skateboard?"

Without waiting for your response, the young man placed a worn skateboard in front of you, "Most of the vehicles are broken down now, but the road is relatively flat, you might find the skateboard steadier."

You nodded, acknowledging the young man’s thoughtfulness, and thanked him, "Thank you."

Step forward with your right foot on the raised end of the skateboard, push down hard, and the skateboard flew up. As it landed, you steadied your left foot on it and used your right foot to push off a few times, quickly getting onto the road.

As the young photographer said, using the skateboard indeed stabilized things a lot more.

If you were running the entire way, you would be fine, but Liang Xinyue in your arms might not handle it. After all, running would cause vibrations from your feet to your hands, ultimately affecting Liang Xinyue.

Unlike when coming, halfway along the way, you saw some machinery already clearing the collapsed stones and mud, and also a rescue team was light-footedly running towards Wen’an.

From a distance, seeing you skateboarding down, a leading lieutenant officer signaled you to stop.

Your skateboard arched a semicircle, and you stopped precisely in front of the lieutenant.

"Comrade, did you come out from Wen’an County Town?"

You nodded, your expression back to its usual indifference, "Hmm."

"What is the current situation in Wen’an County Town?"

"Go and see for yourself, I have things to do."

Saying this, you were about to leave, but a young sergeant behind the lieutenant couldn’t help but stand out and say to you, "Hey, what’s your deal? We are the rescue team, heading in to save people!"

Your face turned serious, responding with a tough attitude, "Since it’s about rescuing, don’t waste time here, move forward quickly."

Seeing you about to leave, the lieutenant called out to you again, asking, "Where are you rushing to?"

To be honest, under normal circumstances, you wouldn’t bother exchanging words, but these were exceptional times, and having seen the disaster firsthand, anxiety was understandable.

Not wanting to waste any more time, you took out your credentials and tossed them to the lieutenant. As he looked down, his face straightened, immediately saluting you, "Commander!"

The lieutenant hurriedly handed back your credentials, while you swept a glance over everyone, noting their heavy breathing, and shook your head slightly, "Such poor stamina, you need to boost your physical training after this; without regular training, how effective can you be when needed?"

Watching you skate away quickly, the sergeant who spoke earlier rushed up to the lieutenant, asking, "Lieutenant, who is this guy, acting all high and mighty?"

"If you became a major at twenty-six, wouldn’t you be proud too?"

Upon hearing this, the young sergeant couldn’t help but cover his mouth in awe, "Wow! What a figure!"

"Enough with the idle talk! Let’s push harder, we must reach Wen’an County by four!"

To save time, once again under astonished gazes, you ran along the guardrail of the slanted bridge. This time, however, your speed was much slower, as you held Liang Xinyue.

When you leaped from the slanted bridge to flat ground, many people surrounded you. These were mostly people who were waiting to pass through here; since the road wasn’t clear yet, they could only wait here.

"Commander, how is the situation in the mountains?" The staff member hurried up seeing you.

You shook your head slightly at him, pushed through the crowd, and continued on your skateboard.

At this moment, next to the Dujiangyan Central Hospital, several heavy trucks slowly drove in, lining up side by side. Following that, a Golden Dragon Bus stopped in the middle of the clearing, in front of the heavy trucks.

After the bus door opened, Wei Yingyue and Du Yanan were the first to come down. As they appeared, they immediately attracted the attention of everyone around, with a group of leaders waiting to meet them.

"Manager Wei, we’ve been waiting for you!"

"Deputy Mayor Han, how are things going here now?"
