The hospital is too busy, so I'm going to join the army and become a top soldier!

"That could be fatal!"

The firefighter, covered in mud, was stunned when Shen Yan said those words.

The young soldier hesitated for a moment, then couldn't help but say...

"The person is still underneath!"

"We've been digging for five hours, and the hydraulic equipment is set up. If we don't lift it out soon, it might not hold!"

"Come on, I'll go with you!"

Shen Yan grabbed the first-aid kit and spoke very quickly.

"What I mean is, you can't just lift up the roof beams without any preparation before carrying them out!"

"The injured person's lower body was compressed for at least five hours, and the compressed area suffered from prolonged ischemia, resulting in the accumulation of a large amount of metabolic waste products."

If blood flow is suddenly restored, all of these substances will enter circulation, potentially causing serious arrhythmias and shock.

"At that point, people will be pulled from the rubble and immediately die!"

The firefighter's expression changed, and he quickly recalled the content about crush syndrome that had been taught during his previous training.

He broke out in a cold sweat!

Zheng Guoliang, who was arranging for the evacuation of the wounded nearby, heard the commotion and immediately rushed over.

"Where was the person pinned down?"

"Lower body".

"What is the person's current state?"

"When we first found them, they could still talk, but now their reactions are getting weaker and weaker."

"What about the on-site equipment?"

"The hydraulic spreaders are already in place, and the roof beams can be lifted at any time."

Zheng Guoliang wasted no more time.

"Ma Jianjun!"

"arrive!"

"Bring the emergency medical team with me!"

"Bring all necessary supplies, including oxygen, IV fluids, monitoring equipment, and emergency medications. Also, bring stretchers, splints, and thermal blankets!"

"Shen Yan, you're coming with me too!"

"The rest of you continue to maintain the reception area; triage and classification must not stop!"

"yes!"

Several people grabbed their equipment and followed the firefighters into the torrential rain.

The village where the trapped people live is less than two kilometers away from the primary school.

However, the road in the middle has been completely blocked by mudslides and collapsed courtyard walls.

What would normally be a ten-minute walk, they managed to reach their destination in less than ten minutes.

Shen Yan carried a first-aid kit on her back and protected the monitoring equipment in her hands.

The first aid kit was quite heavy, and with the continuous triage and transport throughout the morning, an ordinary recruit's shoulder would have gone numb long ago.

But Shen Yan had already undergone extensive training in weighted running, so carrying this little bit of stuff was not yet up to his limit!

"It's just ahead!"

The firefighter leading the way crossed a section of collapsed courtyard wall and pointed to the ruins not far away.

A few emergency lights shone in the center of the ruins.

A mud house has completely collapsed, with half of the roof beam leaning against the wall. Several firefighters are kneeling in the mud and clearing away the surrounding rubble.

The hydraulic equipment has already pushed against the house beams.

Beneath the ruins, the upper body of a middle-aged man was visible. His chest was still rising and falling, but his face was frighteningly pale, and his eyes could only be barely opened a crack.

"The medical team has arrived!"

The rescue personnel immediately made way.

Zheng Guoliang bent down and crawled into the temporarily erected space.

"What's your name?"

The man's lips moved, but the sound was so soft it was almost inaudible.

"Zhao... Zhao Dacheng..."

"Do you know how long you've been suppressed?"

"have no idea……"

"Can you feel it in your legs?"

Zhao Dacheng shook his head with difficulty.

"I...I don't feel anything anymore..."

Shen Yan squatted down beside him and quickly checked his consciousness, breathing and pulse.

The pulse was rapid but very weak, and consciousness was beginning to fade.

The situation is even more dangerous than the firefighters just described!

"Give them oxygen first!"

"Establish intravenous access immediately!"

Zheng Guoliang took over on-site command.

"Keep the hydraulic equipment stationary and do not continue lifting for the time being."

The firefighters who were just about to immediately lift the roof beams are now carrying out Zheng Guoliang's orders without any hesitation.

They've been digging for five hours to save Zhao Dacheng, so a few more minutes won't make a difference!

Ma Jianjun knelt down in the mud and water, pulled up Zhao Dacheng's arm that he could still reach, and began to establish an intravenous access.

It was raining all around, the lighting was poor, and the wounded were in poor circulation, so blood vessels were not easy to find.

Ma Jianjun tried once but failed, and his complexion did not change. He adjusted the position and tried inserting the needle again.

This time, it was a success!

Ma Jianjun got up, covered Zhao Dacheng's upper body with an insulation blanket, and supported his shoulders and neck to prevent his body from suddenly sliding when the roof beam was raised.

Shen Yan stayed by the monitoring equipment, watching the changes in heart rate and blood pressure.

"Zhao Dacheng!"

Can you hear me?

The man's eyelids twitched.

"able……"

Who else is in your family?

"Wife...and the baby..."

"You can't sleep now!"

Shen Yan raised his voice.

"Your wife and child are still waiting for you outside!"

"The roof beam will be lifted soon. Just hold on a little longer, and we'll be out in no time!"

Upon hearing his wife and children's voices, Zhao Dacheng's previously unfocused gaze regained some of its responsiveness.

"Are they... alright?"

Shen Yan hesitated for a moment, then looked into his eyes and comforted him.

"It's okay, now we're just waiting for you!"

Zhao Dacheng's lips trembled slightly.

"I...I won't sleep..."

"My child is still young..."

Shen Yan continued, "How old is the child?"

"Seven years old..."

"Boy or girl?"

"My daughter..."

During the question-and-answer session, although Zhao Dacheng's consciousness remained hazy, he never completely fell into a coma.

After confirming that intravenous access, oxygen supply, and monitoring were all in place, and after completing the preparations for subsequent rescue, Zheng Guoliang looked at the firefighters in charge of the hydraulic equipment.

"It's starting to rise."

"The speed must be slow!"

"Stop immediately when you hear 'stop'!"

"clear!"

The hydraulic equipment emitted a dull hum.

The beams that were pressing down on the ruins were lifted up little by little, and the surrounding rubble rolled down with them.

The firefighters kept a close eye on the support point.

One person controlled the equipment while several others cleared the loose bricks and stones under the roof beams.

ten centimeters.

Twenty centimeters.

Zhao Dacheng's lower body, which had been pinned down, gradually came out.

The moment the pressure began to ease, the monitoring equipment suddenly emitted a rapid alarm!

Drop drop!

Zhao Dacheng's body twitched slightly, and his consciousness, which had just been able to respond, quickly weakened.

Shen Yan's expression changed instantly.

"Abnormal heart rate!"

"Your blood pressure has gone down!"

"We can't lift it any further, let's take a break!"

Zheng Guoliang immediately spoke up.

"Stop rising! Maintain current position!"

The firefighters controlling the hydraulic equipment immediately stopped.

They could see the roof beams leaving the wounded man's body.

The person was about to be rescued!

But it was precisely at this moment that the wounded soldier's condition suddenly deteriorated!

"Continue supplying oxygen!"

"Adjust the IV drip rate!"

Zheng Guoliang squatted down next to Zhao Dacheng and quickly took action.

Ma Jianjun kept a close eye on the intravenous access, making sure it didn't come off in the mud and water or during movement.

Shen Yan continued to observe the monitoring data and Zhao Dacheng's reactions.

Seeing Zhao Dacheng's consciousness gradually fading, Shen Yan leaned close to his ear and shouted.

"Zhao Dacheng!"

"Open your eyes!"

"Your baby is still waiting for you. If you fall asleep now, you'll never see her again!"

Zhao Dacheng's eyelids twitched a few times, but he didn't open them immediately.

Seeing this, Shen Yan could only continue to communicate with him.

A dozen seconds later, Zhao Dacheng's heart rate finally slowed down.

My blood pressure is still low, but it hasn't dropped any further.

Zhao Dacheng let out a faint groan again.

"No, I can't sleep! If I fall asleep, I won't be able to see the doll anymore!"

Seeing this, Shen Yan finally breathed a sigh of relief!

This hurdle is temporarily over!

Zheng Guoliang finally breathed a sigh of relief.

"The condition is temporarily stable."

"Keep rising, take it slow!"

"yes!"

The roof beams rose up little by little again.

This time, everyone acted with greater caution.

Once the rubble and timbers pinning Zhao Dacheng's legs were completely cleared, several firefighters quickly crawled inside and used their hands to remove the mud from both sides of Zhao Dacheng's body.

"The transfer can be completed now!"

Shen Yan and Ma Jianjun stood on either side of the wounded soldier, protecting his head, neck, and torso.

Two other medical workers supported his lower limbs, and the group worked together in unison according to commands to transfer Zhao Dacheng smoothly onto the stretcher.

All the movements were performed in one smooth motion!

"Return to the temporary medical station immediately!"

"Contact the transport vehicles at the rear and get them ready. We'll send the person to the hospital there as soon as we return!"

"This person will survive!"

The stretcher was carried into the rain.

Several firefighters stood beside the ruins, only daring to catch their breath at this moment.

The soldier operating the hydraulic equipment watched the stretcher disappear into the distance, his palms drenched in cold sweat.

"Dr. Zheng."

"What would have happened if we had just lifted the roof beam?"

Zheng Guoliang paused for a moment.

"No one can guarantee the specific outcome."

"But he is very likely to experience more severe circulatory disorders or even cardiac arrest immediately after the pressure is relieved!"

The firefighters were pale.

They risked a secondary collapse and dug for five hours.

My fingers were worn raw, and my arms had long since lost their strength.

If, in the rush to save lives, the injured person collapses the moment they are pulled from the rubble...

None of them could accept that outcome!

Ma Jianjun looked at Shen Yan and spoke earnestly.

"Luckily you asked about the duration of the pressure first."

"In this situation, not asking one less question could mean the difference between life and death!"

"There's nothing we can do; the dissemination of medical knowledge here is still too backward."

Shen Yan finally caught his breath and began packing his things.

Preparing to return to base camp.

The return journey was still difficult.

The rain did not lessen; in fact, it intensified.

Several people took turns carrying the stretcher, ensuring speed while avoiding severe jolting of the injured person on the complex road surface.

When encountering a fallen log, the people in front should stabilize the stretcher first, and then the people behind should lift it up.

When they encountered a steep slope covered in mud, everyone lowered their center of gravity and moved uphill step by step.

The weight on the stretcher kept pulling on my shoulders, back, and arms.

In a normal weighted run, the backpack will simply stay on your back.

However, the injured person on the stretcher would sway as the road surface changed, and if one of the four people lost their pace, the other three would have to adjust immediately.

This is the real test of body control during a weighted march!

Shen Yan was placed on the left front of the stretcher.

His arms remained steady, his waist and abdomen constantly adjusted their center of gravity according to the terrain, and he would report his position to the medic behind him in advance when he encountered obstacles.

"There's a ditch ahead, go around to the right!"

"That rock is loose, don't step in the middle!"

……

More than 30 minutes later, the stretcher was finally carried back to the primary school rescue point.

Zhao Dacheng was immediately sent to the red emergency zone.

Zheng Guoliang completed the handover with the local doctor and then arranged for a vehicle to transport him as soon as possible.

It wasn't until the injured were loaded into the ambulance that Shen Yan finally heard the familiar system notification.

[The host successfully participated in the on-site treatment of a patient who had been subjected to prolonged pressure!]

[Feedback on the dual cultivation of medicine and martial arts has been activated!]

[Improved carrying capacity for complex terrain!]

[Improved shoulder and back endurance under continuous load!]

[Improved core stability!]

[Improve your 5km cross-country running ability with added weight!]

[Improved overall obstacle course clearing ability for the 400-meter race!]

A wealth of training experience instantly flooded into Shen Yan's body!

How to place your feet on a muddy road, and how to adjust your center of gravity when carrying a heavy load on a slope.

How to minimize unnecessary energy expenditure when carrying equipment over low walls and fallen trees? How to distribute the load among the shoulders, back, waist, abdomen, and lower limbs in complex terrain?

The details of the movements that previously required extensive training to master have now become incredibly clear.

Shen Yan stood under the awning, feeling his body readjusting.

He was initially worried that leaving the recruit training camp would interfere with his regular training.

Now it seems I was overthinking things!

Even in the wilderness, I can still improve my training results!

If it were someone else, their performance might drop drastically after a month away from the training ground.

I left for a month...

Maybe it could even update the entire version of your body!

Before Shen Yan could check the specific improvements, another rescuer rushed into the schoolyard.

"Another landslide has occurred upstream!"

"More than a dozen people are still trapped in Shihe Village, including the elderly and children!"

"The road is completely blocked; vehicles can't get in, you can only walk!"

The medical team, who had just returned from the ruins, hadn't even caught their breath before everyone stood up again.

Zheng Guoliang glanced at the scene.

"Leave one support and relief point behind!"

"The rest of you, carrying light equipment, will join the search and rescue team in Shihe Village!"

Ma Jianjun quickly inventoried the first aid supplies, and Azgul once again carried the thermal blanket and immobilization equipment on her back.

He turned his head and saw that Shen Yan had already put away the emergency kit straps.

"How's it going? Still got some energy?"

Shen Yan grinned as he felt his shoulders, back, and legs become more stable after the system's enhancement.

"Walk!"

"I'm bursting with energy right now!"

Ma Jianjun nodded.

"Let's go!"

Several figures rushed into the rain again.

……

More than ten hours later.

Dozens of kilometers away in the camp, the piercing assembly whistle sounded once again!

The sound of hurried footsteps suddenly filled the dormitory building.

In less than three minutes, everyone in the recruit company had rushed downstairs wearing raincoats.

Rainwater streamed down the brim of hats, making it almost impossible to open one's eyes, yet no one in the group made a move.

Chen Gang stood at the front of the group, clutching the emergency order that had just been delivered.

His face was more serious than ever before.

"Due to continuous torrential rains, the disaster situation continues to worsen!"

"Local rescue forces are insufficient, so the regiment has decided to send more troops!"

"All recruits, immediately collect raincoats, shovels, ropes, and rescue equipment to assist in transporting relief supplies, clearing roads, reinforcing dikes, and evacuating affected residents!"

Wei Shanjia subconsciously looked at the second class's team.

Shen Yan's seat remained empty.

"Squad leader, is Shen Yan still with the medical company?"

Gao Zhenhai wiped the rain off his face and said in a deep voice:

"The medical team set off last night."

"Shen Yan has already entered the disaster area with them and should be at the temporary rescue point at the forefront now."

Upon hearing this, Wei Shanjia took a step forward.

"Report!"

"Shen Yan rushed to the front to rescue people!"

"I need to apply to go to the front lines too!"

"I'm strong; I can carry sandbags, carry wounded soldiers, and move stones—I can do it all!"

Upon hearing this, Ga Wa immediately echoed:

"Excuse me, I want to apply too!"

Chen Gang glared at the two of them fiercely.

"Disaster relief isn't about you stealing the limelight!"

"Go wherever your orders take you!"

"If we tell you to move supplies, you move supplies; if we tell you to carry sandbags, you carry sandbags; if we tell you to evacuate people, you evacuate people!"

"Anyone who dares to leave the team without permission, anyone who dares to disobey on-site instructions, I'll deal with you when I get back!"

"Did you understand?"

All the new recruits in the company straightened their bodies at the same time.

"clear!"

At the camp gate, military vehicles had already assembled.

Shovels, lifelines, food, drinking water, and boxes of emergency supplies were continuously loaded onto the vehicles.

Wei Shanjia carried two boxes of supplies on his back and ran through the puddles to the vehicle.

Ga Wa followed behind, holding the lifeline. When he saw Ga Wa slip, he quickly reached out and helped him up.

"Slow down!"

"The ground is very slippery!"

"If you fall and become a crippled mess before even reaching the disaster area, should we go rescue the people first, or rescue you first?"

"Shut your mouth right now, you jinx!"

Wei Shanjia regained his footing, looking somewhat embarrassed.

"I didn't see the road clearly!"

The little boy nodded repeatedly.

"Ah, right, right, right!"

"You big beast, all your strength is in your legs, you don't seem to have much time for your eyes!"

The students in Class Two almost burst out laughing.

But the laughter was barely formed when it was suppressed by the torrential rain that came crashing down on them.

Everyone knew that what awaited them next was no longer training that could be stopped at any time.

A dozen minutes later, the convoy drove out of the camp.

"Little one, we have to do a good job this time!"

"Let's strive for one person to achieve a major feat!"

"We can't afford to be too much worse than Shen Yan!"
