At the start, I tricked the school beauty, and ended up with twins?

Chapter 492: Chapter 461: Going into Battle

“The eastern camp has already been sealed off, but we don’t have enough manpower, and we simply can’t keep up with the patients’ conditions.”

“I know you all just got here, and everyone is very tired, but right now I really need your help…”

Professor Ruosi said, her face filled with apology and her eyes sincere.

She also knew it wasn’t right to put people to work as soon as they arrived, but there was no other option.

Now, almost all of the doctors available in Zhu Di were already assigned, leaving only those who were either ineffective or needed to take care of the patients remaining in the station.

But now, the spread of the dengue fever outbreak was just too fast, surpassing the usual transmission rate, and even though 80% of doctors from the station had been dispatched for support, it was still not enough.

Moreover, doctors are human, not machines, and many had been without sleep for two days and a night.

In such an environment, one could easily jeopardize their own personal safety if not careful.

High intensity, high pressure, and high workload had left everyone physically and mentally exhausted.

Without more people to help, they really couldn’t hold on any longer.

Therefore, Professor Ruosi had no choice but to seek help from this medical assistance team from Huaxia in front of her.

They could be said to be the station’s biggest hope now, and with their participation, it was believed the impact of the dengue fever outbreak would be greatly reduced.

Although Professor Ruosi’s tone was very earnest, Luo KaiXuan did not immediately agree to her request.

He was indeed the leader of the Huaxia medical assistance team, but he couldn’t decide on this matter on his own, he needed to ask for his team members’ opinions.

“I personally am willing to join the fight against dengue fever right away, but I need to ask my team members’ opinions.”

He first volunteered himself and then scanned the members of the assistance team present: “You all heard what Professor Ruosi said. I want to know your opinions. Those who are willing to start working now, please raise your hand.”

“Let me say this upfront, this action is very dangerous, and many of you are here in Rohingya for the first time and do not understand the situation here. My original plan was for you to get familiar with the area for two or three days before starting work. So, if any of you are unwilling, you can decide according to the normal plan; all choices are valid.”

After Luo KaiXuan asked, he reiterated the original plans to everyone.

Everyone certainly understood what he meant, which was that they could avoid working tonight and, according to the regular schedule, get acclimated to the work environment first.

After all, working rashly without understanding the environment certainly increased the risk.

Thinking this over, most people began to hesitate.

They had come to help voluntarily, not for a salary or because it was a compulsory arrangement. Normally, the priority would definitely be to put their own safety first.

However, their purpose in coming here was to make a contribution to the Rohingya refugees, to help those in dire straits as much as possible.

Although the dangers were many, such was their mission…

So, the first person raised their hand, followed by the second, and the third, until every single person had raised their hand.

30 medical volunteers, 30 hands raised!

“Haha, we all have been in medicine for years, we’ve seen all sorts of things; a difficulty like this can’t scare me.”

“Yeah, what danger could there be? We have Captain Ge and the special forces team for protection, and with Dr. Luo leading, there’s nothing to fear.”

“I came here to treat the sick and save lives, even if this were a battlefield, treating the sick and saving lives would still be my job.”

“I’m a surgeon, can I be put to good use?”

“I specialize in otolaryngology though. No big issue, even if I just maintain order at the scene, that’s fine.”

“…”

The doctors chatted with each other.

Everyone raised their hands; they all chatted and laughed, showing no fear at all.

Luo KaiXuan was also excited; he hadn’t expected everyone to be so supportive. He had originally estimated that at most half of the people would agree, but everyone raised their hands in agreement!

“Actually, I think you could stay at the base. After all, you’re not a doctor and there’s a lot you don’t understand. I’m worried you might run into problems,”

Gu Yu whispered into Lin Xinyue’s ear.

Lin Xinyue wasn’t a doctor, and he was worried that joining the team to fight dengue fever might lead to mistakes. Helping was secondary; he feared that in the end, it would be Lin Xinyue who needed assistance…

“I don’t want to stay at the base alone; I want to be with you… Even if I don’t know how to treat patients, I can still watch over them for you!”

Upon hearing Gu Yu’s words, Lin Xinyue immediately pouted. She would feel very insecure without Gu Yu.

“Besides, aren’t you a surgeon? Your involvement in fighting dengue fever might not be very useful, right??” Seeing Gu Yu pondering, the clever Lin Xinyue added.

Gu Yu was stunned—indeed! Although he was a doctor, he was a surgeon!

What use was surgery in treating dengue fever…?

In that case, he was no different from Lin Xinyue! He probably would just be there to witness the action.

“What you’ve said does make sense,” Gu Yu was defeated by Lin Xinyue’s astute little brain.

Since she wanted to join him, they might as well do it together. With the double protection of Ge Zhengxiang and himself, there shouldn’t be any problems.

Moreover, since they were going to be away for so long, he couldn’t possibly have Lin Xinyue with him at all times, and she wasn’t a child.

“Fine, since no one has any objections, let’s settle on that.” Seeing everyone continue to lower their heads to eat bread and drink coffee, Luo KaiXuan turned to Professor Ruosi, “Our Huaxia medical aid team volunteers to participate in the dengue fever combat operations.”

“Thank you… thank you all. I thank you on behalf of the Rohingya refugees and the doctors who are fighting on the front lines,”

Professor Ruosi stood up, inadvertently wiping away a tear in the corner of her eye with her handkerchief before bowing deeply to all the members of the Huaxia aid team.

The sense of responsibility of the Huaxia people was truly evident to her today.

“With that settled, let’s get to work! We can’t delay; every second we waste could lead to another refugee getting infected.”

Luo KaiXuan was done with formalities and moved straight to the matter at hand.

“No problem. Right now, there are 8 of our internal medicine doctors in the eastern hospital of the refugee camp. We need 12 more doctors to assist, preferably ones specializing in immunology or infectious diseases,”

“In addition, we need about 20 doctors to conduct house-to-house surveys, and if there’s anyone infected, to register them immediately,”

Professor Ruosi outlined her allocation and needs.

“There we go, we’ve indeed been assigned to fieldwork.”

After listening to Professor Ruosi’s arrangements, Gu Yu leaned back in his chair. Just as he had guessed, as a surgeon who couldn’t contribute to preventing the epidemic, he was relegated to odd jobs.

“It’s okay, any contribution, no matter how small, is still a contribution!”

Lin Xinyue thought he was sad because he couldn’t utilize his skills and comforted him.

“Yes, yes!” Gu Yu nodded his head.

“Let’s go into action in five minutes! Everyone, let’s show them the capability of Huaxia doctors!”

Luo KaiXuan suddenly called out.
