Reborn As Super Heiress

Chapter 1796: Chapter 1699: Heading to West City

When Huo Sining woke up, it was a little after four in the morning. Although she hadn’t slept for long, the spiritual energy in her body had mostly returned. She walked to the tent where Li Gang and the others were and saw that the four of them were still asleep. Not wanting to wake them, Huo Sining left the rescue team’s base, intending to walk outside to assess the situation.

In her past life, Huo Sining had only witnessed the scenes of major earthquakes in the country through news reports as a bystander. Now, experiencing it firsthand, she finally understood what it meant to feel piercing despair.

All she saw were various remnants, not thoroughly cleaned blood, and those patients struggling on the brink of death.

However, amidst the brink of death, she saw the warmest dawn of human life—family reunions bringing joy, the hope brought by lifesaving under the surgeon’s knife, and the sweat the rescue team shed again and again in the cold wind. All this made Huo Sining deeply aware of the resilience and strength of the Huaxia people.

This experience would be forever unforgettable for Huo Sining. The more she saw, the more firm she became in her original decision regarding the foundation. It seemed she needed to expedite those plans.

”Something’s happened, something’s happened!”

As Huo Sining was lost in thought, several rescue officers suddenly ran from the other side, incessantly whistling as soon as they reached the base, shouting to the resting soldiers in the tents: ”Assemble, head to West City!”

Many of those soldiers had been fighting outside for nearly ten hours and were truly exhausted, only returning to the base to rest. Just as they sat down, they received the emergency notice. Although they didn’t understand what had happened, they quickly packed their gear, ready to depart due to their duty as soldiers.

Huo Sining was puzzled. West City was a suburban area; its population was naturally sparser compared to the town. So, the disaster situation shouldn’t be as severe as here. But why were those rescue officers so anxious and panicked, urgently summoning the rescue team to West City from afar?

The soldiers always obeyed orders from above; none questioned further. But some disaster victims nearby couldn’t help but ask:

”Officer, there are still many people here who haven’t been rescued. Why are you going to West City? If you leave, what will happen to the people here?”

The few soldiers surrounded by the disaster victims became anxious: ”Ma’am, Sir, it’s not us who want to go to West City willingly. The situation there is urgent because the earthquake has caused several cracks in the dam of West City Reservoir. We just received notification that the dam is likely to collapse. We have to rush there to urgently repair the dam; otherwise, if it really collapses, the entire Xicheng District will be flooded, and even more people will die!”

Upon hearing this, the disaster victims were stunned, and none dared to hold the rescue officers any longer.

West City is located in the suburbs of Meishan, where there is a large reservoir, bigger than the one in Baiyun Village, constantly storing water. If West City Reservoir truly collapses and spills the floodwater, the entire suburban area of West City will be submerged. Those who survived the earthquake would suffer a natural disaster again, which would be too tragic.

More than ten armored vehicles quickly stopped outside the base, and the soldiers jumped onto them at an incredible speed. There was a team of medical personnel ready to go, seemingly preparing to follow the armored vehicles to the West City suburbs.

Sharp-eyed, Huo Sining spotted the middle-aged man among the medical personnel. He was the doctor who operated on the little boy whose abdomen was pierced by an iron rod last night, causing her heart to flutter with joy.

Without caring much, Huo Sining rushed over, grabbed the doctor, and shouted:

”Senior brother, are you preparing to go to West City?”

The middle-aged man saw Huo Sining and was momentarily stunned, then exclaimed in surprise: ”It’s you! What are you doing here? Last night, Xiao Yang’s parents searched everywhere for you but couldn’t find you; you slipped away so fast!”

Huo Sining smiled: ”Sorry, I’m not used to such situations, so I left. Senior brother, are you preparing to go with the troops to Xicheng District?”

The middle-aged man nodded, suddenly thinking of something, hurriedly letting out a spot, and said: ”Just right, we’re still missing a person. If it’s convenient for you, come with us. The situation there is urgent, and your presence will solve a big problem for us.”

The middle-aged man hadn’t forgotten the miraculous effect of the hemostatic agents Huo Sining had.

Huo Sining intended to ask if the middle-aged man could take her along. Seeing how proactive he was, she beamed: ”Sure, please wait a moment. I’ll go get my things.”

”Alright, hurry up; we’ll be leaving soon.”

Hearing Huo Sining’s words, the middle-aged man thought she was making an excuse, his eyes immediately showing a different expression.

He had just mentioned the emergency in Xicheng District. Most would flee upon hearing that, seeking various excuses not to go. So, when Huo Sining said she was going to get her things, the middle-aged man thought she was finding a reason to back out.

Huo Sining probably saw Fang Zhiming’s suspicion and hurriedly laughed: ”Don’t worry, I’ll be back within a minute.”

With that, she turned and ran back, quickly disappearing from sight.

Several medical staff nearby witnessed this, curious, asking: ”Old Fang, who was that just now?”

Fang Zhiming’s gaze fell deep into the dark, saying: ”She’s Professor Nie Dechang’s student. Last night’s child, whose abdomen was pierced by an iron rod and survived, was by her hand.”

Those medical staff were aware of the events from last night, and revered the decisive, problem-solving female doctor. Knowing she was the legendary miracle healer, they perked up.

”It’s really her! Old Fang, why didn’t you keep her? Invite the young lady to West City, and let us witness her exceptional medical skills!”

”Don’t worry, she’ll be back soon.”

Fang Zhiming glanced sideways at the medical staff, understanding their intentions.

In the same circle, everyone generally knows how things are.

Despite the events of last night, saving Xiao Yang spread quickly, rumors inevitably deviate, growing more absurd. By the time they reached these peers, they were far from reality.

These medical personnel, seasoned in the art of medicine, naturally held much skepticism. Now, with the rumored individual appearing, they all hoped to see firsthand the abilities of this so-called miracle doctor, to assess their true capabilities.
