Snowstorm: I'm Super Rich in the Apocalypse-Chapter 372 Great Saint Injured

After arriving at the hospital, everyone went together to the outside of the intensive care unit.

Wang Lijuan’s eyes were rimmed with dark circles, and she was surprised to see them all there, "Why have you all come?"

Not only was she surprised, but so were the doctors, nurses, and the people around them. At this time, not many large families were together, yet here was a group of both men and women that looked like a big family. To have so many family members in the apocalypse was truly enviable.

Gu Pan stepped forward, supporting Wang Lijuan, "Auntie, you can sit and talk. We’re all worried and came to check, how is it going?"

Wang Lijuan shook her head, "Still no news."

Lu Xuerong went over and put a hand on Wang Lijuan’s shoulder, "Don’t worry too much, no news is also good news."

Wang Lijuan started to cry again, "Both of them are inside, my heart..."

Duan Shumei also comforted her, "It’ll be okay."

While they were talking, a nurse approached, "Is Chen Fengzhou’s family here?"

Everyone quickly stepped forward, startling the nurse. It was the first time she had seen so many relatives after the apocalypse, "The patient can be moved to a general ward now, the closest relative needs to sign."

Wang Lijuan hurried forward to sign, then asked, "Is Yang Jia awake yet?"

The nurse flipped through her notebook, found Yang Jia’s name, "Not yet, we will notify the family once she awakens." After finishing, she also said to Wang Lijuan, "Dr. Ma, the female surgeon who operated on Chen Fengzhou yesterday, told me to inform you, patients who’ve just awakened after amputation have bigger psychological issues, so the family needs to pay attention. Dr. Ma performed surgeries all last night and is now off to catch up on sleep, she asked me to pass on the message."

Wang Lijuan quickly replied with thanks.

Gu Pan and the others understood, Gu Pan had given Dr. Ma chocolate yesterday; she must have taken extra care.

At that moment, Chen Fengzhou was wheeled out, and everyone went over to look, but it wasn’t convenient to talk much there.

Chen Fengzhou was still unconscious, so a quick glance was enough as not everyone could follow to the ward.

Outside the ward, they discussed quietly and decided Cheng Yang and Chen Lang would stay to help look after him. After all, Chen Fengzhou was a man, and Qin Qianqian, being a younger female cousin, wasn’t suitable to care for him. Moreover, Chen Lang could better understand the psychology of a disabled person, so he stayed to talk to him. The others would head back first, and those who were free would come later to help.

Lu Xuerong and Duan Shumei volunteered to take over the cooking duties.

Gu Pan and Lu Ruisheng saw that everything had settled down here, they greeted everyone and left with Lu Ruisheng to head outside the base.

As they left the hospital, more injured people were still being brought in, but not as many as the day before. It seemed the golden hour for rescue had passed, so there were fewer and fewer survivors.

Passing by a collapsed apartment building, there were more base residents spontaneously coming to help. Unity in a stable community always brings warmth. Outside the base, they wouldn’t see such scenes again.

Of course, there were fewer and fewer people alive outside the base too. A disaster could diminish the number and, with resources almost exhausted, survivors were fewer still.

When they reached the gate, it was Xiao Lin’s shift. Seeing them leave, they greeted each other. Gu Pan and the others were in a hurry and didn’t stay for long; they said goodbye and left.

After going out, Gu Pan and Lu Ruisheng were somewhat surprised by the size of the pits outside—it was really big. The base was well-constructed because of the Underground City, with many places reinforced with steel and concrete. But the wasteland outside didn’t have these, and it looked especially dizzying now, one large water-filled pit after another.

The largest pit, if one was unfamiliar with the area, might be mistaken for a natural lake or pond.

Lu Ruisheng rode his motorcycle smoothly, "I really didn’t expect it to be like this outside."

Gu Pan, with her arms around Lu Ruisheng’s waist, "Indeed, who could have imagined the rain would get so bad?"

They both reflected on this.

When they reached a wider area, Lu Ruisheng stopped the motorcycle.

Gu Pan took out her camera and documented everything properly. She had pictures of this place from different angles in the past, but now, taking photos in the same place, those not familiar would really not recognize it.

The road was significantly harder to navigate, taking twice the time to reach Entertainment City.

The staff of Entertainment City were cleaning up the silt after the flooding. Despite good drainage and multiple safeguards, the outermost two lobbies were abandoned to save the inner areas. The water in the outer lobbies had been drained, but mud still needed to be cleared from the floor.

The silt in the lobby was above the ankles, brought in by the rushing water along with sand and settling at the bottom. Now, it could only be cleaned out manually.

Gu Ci rolled up his pants, wearing a hard hat, supervising the workers from above. Seeing Gu Pan and Lu Ruisheng arrive, he jogged over to greet them, "You’re here, we almost didn’t make it. If this rain continues for another half a month, this place might be gone."

The usually calm and composed President Gu was different today, not in a suit and dress shoes, but in sportswear and sandals. His hair was a bit disheveled, but he seemed much friendlier.

Lu Ruisheng patted Gu Ci on the shoulder, "You’re a lucky man, it won’t be that easy for you to go."

Gu Ci laughed, "I love to hear that, brother. Are you all okay? I heard the base also suffered severe losses."

Lu Ruisheng sighed, "Yeah, a lot of buildings and houses collapsed. We have friends buried in the rubble, one amputated, and one still unconscious. We would have come yesterday otherwise."

Hearing this, Gu Ci also sighed, "Ah, it’s really hard for people to survive. The brothers guarding the lobby, some didn’t make it. It was terrifying. If they hadn’t cut off the section from the lobby to the inside in time, we would have been gone too."

Gu Pan also sighed, "Natural disasters really can’t be fought by humans."

Gu Ci looked at the two, "Come on, let’s go inside to talk. There are lots of people working; they don’t need us."

Gu Pan and Lu Ruisheng agreed and followed Gu Ci to his office.

Just as they reached the hallway of the office, a security guard ran over, reporting urgently to Gu Ci, "President Gu, President Chen’s leg got cut wide open by a piece of metal while cleaning the mud in the east side. There’s no anesthesia, and President Chen is struggling too much, making it impossible to stitch. Doctor Tang sent me to find President Gu to see what can be done."

Gu Ci scratched his head vigorously, "I only have a few anti-inflammatory pills left, no antiseptics, and anesthesia is out of the question. We’ll just have to find more people to hold him down and close the wound."

Before Gu Ci could move toward his office, she said to him, "I have medicine in my bag; let’s go straight to Brother Dasheng."

She had indeed thought of this, so on their way here, she had taken some common medicines for external injuries from Space and put them in her bag.
