When Lin Che woke up, he looked haggard, with stubble all over his face, and reeked of alcohol.
"Hello, Auntie." Lin Che half awake and half asleep.
"Is Du with you?" Auntie's tone sounded anxious.
"Don't mention her to me." Lin Che felt impatient when Auntie mentioned Du Zihe.
"I haven't been able to contact her for several days," the little aunt said, her voice choked.
"What's the point of contacting her? And even if we do get in touch, what's the use?" Lin Che forced a bitter smile. It's true, even if we do get in touch, we just have to listen to her say she wants to give up.
"You bastard! Du Zihe may have already gone to the front line!" Aunt Xiaogu yelled angrily.
"What front line?" Lin Che has been in a daze these days, not looking at his phone. It is only charged by Huang Qimeng.
When Huang Qi heard Lin Che's words, he suddenly sat up from the ground and asked, "Sister-in-law, you won't be going to Xuan Cheng, right?"
"What happened? What's going on, Auntie?" Lin Che's tone sounded a bit anxious.
"There has been an outbreak of a new coronavirus in Xuancheng with a high degree of infectivity and mortality. Many places have dispatched medical personnel to help in Xuancheng. I'm worried about my niece, and I've been calling her for three days, but she hasn't answered. I called the head nurse, but she was evasive and didn't say anything." The little aunt's voice was choked with tears.
Lin Che was awakened completely by the words of Cousin Xiao. He turned on the TV and tuned into the news channel, which was broadcasting a live coverage of the fight against the epidemic. There were over 5,000 confirmed cases in Xuancheng, and the medical staff were in desperate need of supplies. Lin Che's heart sank, and he quickly dialed Du Zihe's phone number. "I'm sorry, but the user you are trying to reach is currently unavailable."
Lin Che was about to go crazy, and he dragged Huang Qi to catch a taxi to the airport.
He kept dialing Du Zihe's phone number on his mobile phone, praying that Du Zihe would be safe and sound, staying in Pingyuan.
Lin Che hoped that she was only hiding because of the negative comments from netizens, which he can accept now. The only thing he cannot accept is Du Zihe going to the front line.
The plane landed and Lin Che hurriedly arrived at the hospital.
Nurse Chen, upon seeing him, quickly pulled him into the duty room and handed him a mask.
"Put it on quickly, there are many germs in the hospital," Nurse Chen said as she sat down on a chair.
Lin Che held the mask in his hand, with his eyes fixed on Nurse Chen. "Where is Du Zihe?"
The answer he wanted to hear the most was that Du Zihe took a leave and stayed at home.
However, things didn't go as he wished, and Nurse Chen didn't hide her intention. "Xiao Du went to Xuancheng."
Lin Che didn't stand firm and took a few steps back, sitting on a chair.
"When?" Lin Che asked slowly.
"After coming back from Hainan last week, without taking any rest, I went straight with the medical team," Nurse Chen said calmly.
"Why her?" Lin Che pursued.
"There's no reason why. Saving lives and healing the wounded is the duty of medical staff. Even if she didn't go, other nurses would have gone. Our entire medical team has written letters of self-recommendation, they are all soldiers. Du Zihe strongly insisted on going," Nurse Chen said with obvious excitement, tears rolling down her cheeks.
Lin Che was speechless.
Nurse Chen handed over a neatly folded square piece of paper. "Xiao Du said if you come to see her, let me give you this paper."
Lin Che rubbed her eyes and quickly opened it.
There was only one line of words written on the paper.
"Lin Che, if I am still alive, if you still love me."
Nurse Chen looked at Lin Che, who was silent, and slowly spoke, "Xiao Du told me that after this epidemic, if she can come back safely, she will be willing to be with you at all costs, because these rumors, as terrifying as they may be, cannot take lives. Compared to this virus, they are insignificant."
Lin Che cried, a grown man actually cried.
Tightly holding the letter Du Zihe wrote to him, he walked out of the duty room.
Everything went black before Lin Che's eyes, and he fainted.
After arriving in Xuancheng, Du Zihe quickly immersed herself in her work. As a cooperative unit of Xuancheng Hospital, Pingyuan University Affiliated Hospital sent a medical team of 200 people. Du Zihe repeatedly requested to be assigned to the Intensive Care Unit, responsible for the care of critically ill patients.
At least 8 hours of continuous work is required per day. Sometimes, due to the shortage of personnel, Du Zihe will persist for 10 hours.
Dressed in three layers of thick protective clothing, with a tightly fitted mask, Du Zihe repeats the heavy workload every day. What makes it even more uncomfortable is that she has to wear adult diapers.
After a few days, all the colleagues who came together became as thin as if they had shed a layer of skin. Many colleagues also developed urinary tract infections due to wearing diapers, experiencing a burning sensation while urinating.
But no one backed down, after finishing a day's work and returning to the rest room, the first thing they did was take a shower. The thick protective clothing is not at all breathable, and the clothes on their bodies are soaked in sweat, making them extremely uncomfortable. They quickly grab a bite to eat and go to sleep.
After waking up, sometimes we don't even have time to wash our face before rushing to the hospital to change shifts with colleagues. We all feel for each other and no one is willing to waste a single moment on other things.
Forget about what happened with Lin Che, just tell myself every time I wake up, "I must survive and walk out of Xuancheng alive."
Awake, Lin Che lay on the hospital bed, receiving intravenous fluids.
"The director said that you've just been overworked these past few days, not resting properly, and experiencing some low blood sugar," Huang Qi said.
"How long did I sleep?" Lin Che sat up from the bed.
"You fainted yesterday, it's now 1:00 in the afternoon," Huang Qi checked his watch.
林澈迅速的下床,穿好鞋和衣服。
"Let's go, we have important business to attend to."
Huang Qi hands him a mask. "Put this on quickly, they're in high demand now."
Lin Che turned and looked at Huang Qi, "What else is in short supply?"
"Goggles, protective suits, N95 masks, these are all in short supply in Xuancheng," Huang Qi knew that Lin Che was worried that Du Zihong would not be well protected on the front line.
Lin Che and Huang Qi have visited many medical equipment companies, and their unanimous response is that all inventory has been dispatched to Chizhou City.
However, the consumption in Chizhou City is too high, and there is a shortage of supply and demand.
Lin Che took out his bank card, "There are one million yuan here, transfer it all to Han X's foundation. I'll wait for you at the airport." Lin Che picked up Huang Qi's backpack and hailed a taxi to the airport. Because he often accompanies Lin Che to travel abroad for events, Huang Qi's backpack has always contained the passports and relevant documents of both of them.
Huang Qiban finished his work and met with Lin Che.
Lin Che handed over two tickets to Japan, saying "Let's go to Japan."
When the plane landed in Japan, the airport staff conducted a strict inspection on the two individuals. The situation was tense, and Chinese visitors had to undergo detailed physical examinations.
Once the inspection was passed, the two people rushed around various drugstores and shopping malls, buying all the goggles, masks, and protective clothing they could get to the maximum extent possible.
Carry the goods to the airport and arrange for Huang Qi to take the supplies back to China.
Meanwhile, I will fly to Thailand for early procurement. After Huang Qi delivers the supplies to Xuancheng, he will join me in Thailand.
Lin Che is doing his best to secure supplies for the country and its people, mobilizing friends and relatives from various countries, and even spending his own money.
Lin Che believes that only by doing so can he help Du Zihe. In the days without contact, the only way to protect Du Zihe is to continue preparing supplies. No contact is not a problem, as long as he doesn't receive a call from Nurse Chen, Du Zihe should be safe.
