Chapter 189: Chapter 127: Citywide Announcement! Citizens Donate Blood Late at Night_2

The nurse’s eyes flashed with surprise, and she asked in return.

“I’m O-type blood, a retired soldier, in great health!”

“Great, great! Then just go to the blood collection point at the outpatient building.”

The nurse quickly said, unable to suppress the joy in her eyes.

“Alright, I’ll head there now, thank you.”

After finishing, the man walked briskly towards the elevator, pulling out his phone,

“Hello, Taozi, are you at home? Come to the city hospital to donate blood, we’re waiting to save lives.

Announce in our group, saying it’s for saving explosion victims, we need more plasma, anyone available should come right away.

Alright!”

The nurse watched the man’s departing back with large strides. His voice echoed in the silent corridor, making her feel a deep respect.

…

City Rescue Command Center,

One leader after another arrived overnight, no one dared to sleep.

Worried sick!

And the current situation reported back from various hospitals is not optimistic, like a stone pressing on the heart.

As of now, the death toll has exceeded 20!

There are nearly 60 cases of severe injuries, 150 with moderate injuries, and more than 70 with mild injuries.

And many have compound injuries, such as burns, fractures, shock injuries…

Some situations cannot be confirmed on-site, only discovered after hospital checks, situations may be worse, even some died on the way.

The death toll is still climbing because hospitals can’t count fast enough.

The worst part is that resources are running critically low at several hospitals, notably City Hospital No. 1 and No. 2!

Blood recovery machines, ventilators, extracorporeal circulators, etc., even major hospitals typically have only 5-10, which is quite a lot, given their cost.

But these machines are not enough when dozens of patients need them at the same time.

The blood bank is almost depleted; all surgeries require plasma, especially for internal bleeding patients, who need more!

Everyone understands the implications behind this.

Death!

If critically injured patients do not receive timely treatment and die, the consequences are unbearable for them!

Thinking of this, everyone felt a chill down their spine~~~

Now, it’s too late to ask the province for help, even though the province has already dispatched people to send supplies down.

But time is still not on their side!

Now, there is only one path before them!

Issue a city-wide emergency notice, calling on all citizens to donate blood.

But the consequences of this are undoubtedly enormous!

1. It’s already 2 AM, almost everyone is asleep, how many will come to donate blood?

2. Once the announcement is made, it means the situation has fully erupted, will such a big disturbance cause public and media panic?

…

Ring ring ring~

Ring ring ring~

Ring ring ring~

The phones ringing from below made everyone tense.

“Leader, City Hospital No. 1 has already organized medical staff to donate blood, but the demand may still not be met.”

The leader of the Medical Bureau walked up to the man in the middle and whispered,

“What should we do now?”

“You’re asking me what to do? What do you think?”

The man’s face suddenly turned gloomy, his tone icy as he glanced at him.

The Medical Bureau leader immediately lowered his head upon hearing, wiping the cold sweat from his forehead.

After a few seconds of silence,

The man clenched his fists tightly, pounding the table forcefully, his eyes full of determination.

“Notify the publicity department to immediately issue a civic proposal through all media and internet channels, right now!”

Bang!

“I don’t give a damn about this position anymore! Let them fire me if they want!”

“Yes!”

With emergency calls coming in, he knew he could not wait any longer.

Now, the life-saver is not them, but the citizens of the entire city.

Soon,

All channels like TV, radio, public accounts, SMS, videos, received the emergency broadcast of Jiangcheng City’s “Civic Proposal to Donate Blood! Donate Blood!”

…

In a residential area of Jiangcheng City,

“Honey, honey, wake up, look at this.”

“What’s up, darling? Blood donation? What happened?”

“Oh my! It’s that serious? The blood bank is empty!”

“The whole city is donating blood; things don’t look good, should we go?”

“Get up, get dressed, let’s go!”

…

Snap!

“Why the hell are you still sleeping! Hurry up and donate blood, save lives!”

“Hey hey hey~ wait for me! My shoes! My shoes!”

…

“Everyone stop sleeping, get up! Listen, all blood banks at City No. 1 Hospital, City No. 2 Hospital, and other hospitals are running low!

The city office has issued an appeal for the whole city to urgently donate blood and save the injured, what do you say?”

“What else is there to say! If we, as medical students, don’t go, how could we ever wear the white coat in the future?”

“Get dressed, let’s go!”

…

“Hey, old squad leader, what’s up?”

“Stop sleeping, get up! Hurry and go donate blood!”

“Brothers, the people need us now, retired but still strong, charge!”

“I’m already on my way! No one is allowed to fall behind! Don’t bring shame on our Southeast 723 Brigade!”

“Roger that! Already set off!”

…

“Hello hello hello, if the driver of the convoy hears me, respond.”

“Receiving the city’s blood donation initiative, all drivers please head to the nearest blood donation site immediately, acknowledge with a reply.”

“026 received!”

“073 received!”

“125 received!”

“099 received!”

…..

Ring ring ring~

Ring ring ring~

Ring ring ring~

…

One phone call after another broke the silence of the Jiangcheng night, as countless figures and vehicles rushed out from every community, school, workplace, and factory.

They hurried to the hospitals or the blood points arranged on the announcements.

Late at night, the blood donation vehicles stationed at squares and other locations turned on their lights again, preparing everything and anxiously awaited along the deserted streets.

Qinda Square, one of the blood donation sites.

A blood donation vehicle parked in the center of the square, three nurses got off the vehicle, and the driver yawned, looking into the dim night.

“Will anyone really come?”

“I don’t know, people are probably asleep now, exhausted after a busy day.”

“Sigh, let’s not call it tiring in these situations; saving lives is more important, a little hard work is worth it.”

“Hope someone comes.”

Just as the words fell,

a young nurse who was glancing around suddenly froze, her eyes wide open, gazing in one direction.

“It’s here, it’s here! Everyone hurry! The blood donation point is here!”

A shout sounded from afar.

People turned their heads towards the voice, only to see four or five men pointing at the blood donation vehicle, striding swiftly towards them.

“They really came? Quickly, get ready.”

The head nurse said when she saw this. Before they could get on the vehicle, another round of chaotic footsteps sounded.

All over the square, figures appeared from all directions, more and more, more and more…

In an instant, more than a hundred people surrounded the blood donation vehicle.

“Nurse, is this the blood collection point?”

“Yes…yes, it is.”

“We all saw the announcement saying the hospital blood bank is in urgent need, so we came to donate. Quickly start drawing blood.”

“Yes! Yes! Start drawing, start drawing!”

“Take mine first!”

“I’m healthy, let me first.”

…

Seeing the noisy and somewhat chaotic scene, the three nurses couldn’t help but feel their eyes wet, their noses slightly sour.

“E-everyone, line up! We will start drawing blood right away!

Thank you! Thank you all!”

“Come, come, come! Get in line!”

….

The same scenes were almost simultaneously occurring at more than a dozen blood collection points and hospitals across Jiangcheng City.

First City Hospital,

Qin Feng had just completed a surgery and walked out of the operating room.

Rumble~ rumble~

A series of loud, intense footsteps echoed, startling everyone.

What’s happening, an earthquake?

As the sound approached, they saw dozens of figures running up the stairs, with countless others following behind!

“We are from Jiangcheng Medical College! Where do we donate blood!”

The lead boy, in shorts and a tank top, gasped loudly.

“In the laboratory department, straight ahead.”

A nurse, hearing this, instinctively pointed her finger.

“Okay, thank you!”

The boy nodded, then waved vigorously to those behind,

“Classmates, each class queue automatically! Everyone, don’t make a noise, don’t disrupt the hospital’s normal operation!

Leave immediately after donating blood, don’t linger, go back to school!

Move!”

After speaking, he raised his foot towards where the nurse pointed.

Behind him, youthful faces followed in neat rows, like a never-ending dragon.

From afar, Zhang Tong, Su Yun, and all the medical staff, watching this scene, couldn’t help but feel their eyes moistening.

They are the hope!

Qin Feng stood afar, a smile naturally crept onto his lips.

Once upon a time, he was one of them, and this was a moment worth commemorating and taking pride in.

“Director Qin! Neuro is calling you!”

“Let’s go!”

Hearing the call, Qin Feng raised his legs and ran toward the operating room, where someone awaited his life-saving intervention…
