Urban Miracle Doctor-Chapter 299 Not Giving Up on Any Compatriot
Chapter 299: Chapter 299 Not Giving Up on Any Compatriot
"Doctor Qin, I know this request is somewhat excessive, given that it’s a matter of one’s own life."
"But seeing the tragic state here, I sincerely beg you to save Jiang City."
"The Epidemic Prevention Bureau hasn’t been able to develop a cure, but you managed to create miraculous medicine like the Hemostatic Powder. You must be able to come up with a treatment for the plague as well."
Qin Han’s hand, holding the phone, trembled slightly as he asked, "Besides the plague, how’s everything else in Jiang City now?"
"All is well, there’s no shortage of food or supplies, and we have enough doctors, but without medicine to treat the plague, they’re rather helpless."
"The government is delivering supplies every two hours, so we are managing, we really are!"
Qin Han nodded and said, "I’m already preparing to come over. Tell the people there to hold on."
"You’re actually on your way? Thank you! Thank you, Doctor Qin!" Lian Ping was so excited he was nearly incoherent. In just three days, Lian Ping had seen things he would never forget for the rest of his life.
United, we stand!
Indeed, the people of Jiang City have a united will, but many things can’t be resolved by will alone.
When the first list of people who could evacuate was announced, Lian Ping’s name was on it, but he gave up his spot.
He felt that if everyone left and only reported from the perimeter, those outside wouldn’t know the real situation inside, which would be irresponsible to the public and to the people of Jiang City.
So, no matter how his colleagues urged him, Lian Ping decided to stay, even calling his parents to say goodbye.
"Dad, Mom, I’m in Jiang City. Everyone else has left. If I leave too, the real news from here won’t get out. If something happens to me, I’ll repay your kindness in raising me in my next life!"
When Lian Ping’s parents received his call, they were already sobbing uncontrollably, but his elderly father said firmly, "Son, you’ve grown up! You’re doing the right thing, and I support you!"
"Lian Ping, listen to me, you must tell them to keep an optimistic mindset. I promise you, I will develop a cure!" Qin Han stated earnestly.
"Thank you, Doctor Qin!"
"I am a doctor; it’s my duty!"
After hanging up the phone, Qin Han called Ming Xizhi, "Prepare a helicopter for me!"
Having said that, he and Zhong Yuanliang hurried to the airport, where a helicopter was already waiting.
In a secluded residence in the capital.
"Dad, Mr. Qin has set off," Ming Xizhi said on the phone.
Old Master Ming nodded and remarked, "This is truly the mark of a great doctor! Knowing the dangers ahead, yet still forging ahead."
"Dad..." Ming Xizhi called out again.
"What is it? Speak!" Old Master Ming said firmly.
Ming Xizhi took a deep breath and stated, "Dad, once Qin Han arrives, I will join him in entering the isolation zone. Even though I’m no doctor, I believe that seeing me will bolster the morale of the people of Jiang City and strengthen their will to survive."
After hearing Ming Xizhi’s words, Old Master Ming remained silent for a long time.
"Dad, if something happens to me, there’s still my second brother; the Ming family won’t collapse! But if I don’t go, I’ll live with a troubled heart for the rest of my life!"
"Xizhi, you finally understand the principle of serving the people through your office. I am very proud, proud of you!"
"Others can face death, and so can the Ming family!"
"Go, your father will be here waiting for your return!"
"Yes!"
After hanging up the phone, Old Master Ming bit his lip tightly. Did he really want Ming Xizhi to go?
No, given the current state of the epidemic in Jiang City, unless there was a cure, the likelihood of becoming infected was high, almost a certainty of death!
But could Ming Xizhi be spared from going?
No, he couldn’t, because he was a member of the Ming family!
As a second-generation leader of the Ming family, he had to go!
Because the Dragon Nation would not abandon any of its compatriots!
The capital city.
"The Holy Medicine Sect is on the move, according to the timing, they should arrive around the same time as Qin Han," said Elder Jiang.
Next to Elder Jiang sat an elderly man in a Zhongshan suit with profound eyes and a face exuding a commanding presence. He took a deep drag from the lit cigarette in his hand.
"Although the Holy Medicine Sect has changed somewhat over the years, their overall attitude towards the Dragon Nation remains unchanged," the elderly man said slowly.
"Yes, even though they are constantly embroiled in internal strife, they still spare no effort when it comes to issues of national righteousness," Elder Jiang said with a look of satisfaction.
The elderly man nodded and said, "Indeed, if that person from back then were still alive, the Holy Medicine Sect would probably be even stronger now."
"Divine Emperor, what do you make of this rain?" Elder Jiang suddenly asked.
The elderly man’s penetrating gaze seemed to ponder, as he said faintly, "The Abnormal People Hall under the Divine Dragon Society had a report earlier in the year, where they found a giant serpent in the river at the heart of Jiang City."
"Could it be it has transformed into a Jiao?" Elder Jiang asked with some concern.
"Giant serpents becoming Jiaos, and Jiaos venturing into the seas are only heard in legends. No one has truly seen it—it might not be real, and it could simply be a natural disaster," the elderly man stated lightly.
"The brothers from the Abnormal People Hall have already rushed over, and I believe it won’t be long before we have results."
Elder Jiang’s brow furrowed slightly as he said calmly, "If even that incident proved true, then it would be strange for these legends to be completely false. Moreover, this epidemic came quite mysteriously and fiercely but is seemingly incurable."
"Tell me about that young man?" the elderly man lit another cigarette on a filter containing a powder as he asked.
"I’ve only seen him twice; overall, his nature is good. But his personality is somewhat strange, and he basically resembles the Sect Leader of the Holy Medicine Sect. Also, they both have the same name—Qin Han!" Elder Jiang said after some thought.
The elderly man lifted his head, looking puzzled as he said, "Could it be such a coincidence? Or are they actually the same person?"
"It’s unlikely they’re the same person. I’ve met the Sect Leader of the Holy Medicine Sect once, and there’s too great a difference in height and appearance," Elder Jiang shook his head and said.
"Do you know who rescued Yang Zhentian from the Sun Nation?"
"Wasn’t it the Dragon Group?" Elder Jiang asked with some surprise.
"The Dragon Group is strong, but not so formidable that they can stir up such a storm in another country. The one who rescued Yang Zhentian was another person—it was Qin Han!" the elderly man said with a smile.
"What? Qin Han? Alone?"
"Yes, alone."
"That kid’s martial prowess is that formidable? Those are the four aces of the Sakura Association and the Elite Shinto Shrine... Speaking of which, it’s damn satisfying. Old Xu’s greatest dream when he was young was to burn down that goddamn Elite Shinto Shrine, and to think this kid made it happen, hahaha."
Elder Jiang laughed heartily, and seeing this, the elderly man also laughed openly.
"We’ve sealed the news to avoid bringing him trouble. He needs time to grow, and if possible, he could very likely become the second Sect Leader of the Holy Medicine Sect," the elderly man said calmly.
Hearing this, Elder Jiang was shocked but did not say anything.
His status was indeed exalted, and he was a key minister under the old Divine Emperor, and the current Divine Emperor also treated him with great respect, but that still didn’t entitle him to speak freely about everything.
It seems that the Divine Emperor ultimately did not trust the Holy Medicine Sect.
When Qin Han arrived outside Jiang City, he saw long lines of barricades encircling the entire city, with almost a person every ten steps and a sentinel post every hundred steps.
Qin Han looked carefully towards the inside of Jiang City and was startled.
Why was it like this?
