The Ultimate War Of The Apocalypse-Chapter 376 - 369 Captain
Chapter 376: Chapter 369 Captain
An extreme show-off, that was Gao Yuan’s first impression of Nate Schumacher.
But what a coincidence that you share the last name Gao, this statement left Gao Yuan utterly puzzled. Clearly, Nate Schumacher knew someone with the surname Gao, and this person was definitely no ordinary individual.
But now Gao Yuan had no time to talk with Nate Schumacher, because, as soon as he had confirmed that it was safe and that these people were allies, his first priority was of course to see how his own people were doing.
Gao Yuan withdrew his hand, saying to Nate Schumacher, "I need to check on my people first. We can talk later."
Nodding, Gao Yuan brushed past Nate Schumacher, and then he heard Nate Schumacher say unhurriedly, "Go search and clear the downtown area."
Having heard just that, Gao Yuan entered the room.
It was a shocking sight, everything Gao Yuan saw made his heart tremble with fear.
Think about it, having withstood several hours of attack by many highly elite troops, it was a miracle for Li Yang and his team to have held out.
Wang Ning was covered in blood, leaning against a wall with three of the Angel’s men busy around him.
Nie Erlong lay on the ground with a dejected look, bloodied all over, his wound on his leg, but it had been bandaged.
Panxin was also bathed in blood, half of his body turned black, his left arm, left leg, and left face all a dark red mottled with blood mixed with dust.
Two Russians were seated on the ground, while another two, one with half of his head missing at the back and a bullet hole just below his eye socket, and the other with his right leg completely gone, were obviously corpses, left lying there on the ground.
"Son of a bitch, goddamn it, ah! It’s killing me."
The one cursing was Cao Zhenjiang, sitting by the entrance clutching his machine gun, an Angel’s medic working to remove his bulletproof vest, his wound also on his leg.
Then there was Liu Chunxiao, lying motionless on the ground, revealing a large stitched-up wound on his stomach.
The stench of blood hit him, causing Gao Yuan to sway before he pointed at Liu Chunxiao, his voice quivering, "How is Chun Er doing?"
Li Jingang was right beside Gao Yuan and spoke in a low voice, "He was hit by a heavy machine gun through his bulletproof vest. It’s hard to say..."
Gao Yuan felt his head buzz and spin, although it was just for a brief moment, the feeling of dizziness was there.
After thousands of kilometers, months of daily companionship, shared life and death, to see it all end like this, how could Gao Yuan not feel dizzy?
But at that moment, Wang Ning suddenly said, "No, he’s fine."
Gao Yuan looked at Wang Ning in surprise.
Wang Ning was a man of few words and never bragged.
Whenever Gao Yuan, Cao Zhenjiang, Yu Shunzhou, and the others got together, they would chat and boast. This boasting meant at least discussing their own cool aspects, but Wang Ning, he never spoke of these.
Everyone knew Wang Ning was formidable, one of the rare, no, one of the very few top military doctors in Shenzhou, but Wang Ning never boasted about himself.
But now, looking at Gao Yuan, Wang Ning said, "Those destined to die are beyond my help, but those who might live will not die on my watch."
An Angel’s medic placed a hand behind Wang Ning’s head and said something, after which Wang Ning obediently fell backward. As he lay down, he closed his eyes and said, "I need to rest now, I won’t die, I should not die, I have a hunch about this, I know it..."
Wang Ning passed out before finishing his words, and Li Jingang whispered, "It’s all thanks to him, really all thanks to him. Without Doctor Wang, at least half of the wounded would have died. The Russians were hopeless, one took a direct shot to the head, another had a leg blown off and was hit by two heavy machine gun rounds. There was no saving them, it was just too late, there was no way..."
Gao Yuan took a deep breath, the heavy scent of blood no longer affected him at this moment.
"Where’s Li Yang?"
"Second floor, he... his condition isn’t too good."
Gao Yuan immediately ran up the stairs and then he saw Li Yang, lying on a stretcher, having his leg amputated by an army medic.
Gao Yuan’s face turned pale in an instant.
Li Yang’s right leg had a huge hole above the knee, with only a small amount of tissue on either side still connected; what the medic was doing was amputating his leg.
Gao Yuan said with a trembling voice, "You, you..."
Li Yang turned his head to one side, not looking at Gao Yuan, and said, "Hit by a bullet, from a machine gun, it can’t be saved."
Gao Yuan swallowed, saying, "But you... have been... talking to me like this."
Li Yang looked as if he had been fished out of water, completely drenched. That was his sweat, brought on by the pain.
"What else, my leg’s broken, I’m not mute."
Li Yang even tried to squeeze out a faint smile, looking at Gao Yuan and saying, "Don’t worry, I won’t die."
Sitting beside Li Yang was Avi, who also exhibited extraordinary courage. His head was wrapped in a bandage that had been soaked through with blood, and then there was a stitched-up wound on his left leg, which wasn’t even covered with a bandage.
At this time, Avi said very calmly, "Is Doctor Wang dead?"
"No, the doctor is treating him."
Avi nodded, looked at his own leg, and then said very solemnly, "Good."
Avi didn’t say more; Li Jingang said in a low voice, "His leg’s main artery was severed, Wang Ning stopped the bleeding in twenty seconds, and completed the stitching in forty seconds."
Gao Yuan expressed in astonishment, "How is that possible?"
"How could it not be? If it wasn’t possible, he’d be dead by now. The blood on my body is his, it sprayed out like a fountain," Li Jingang explained.
After finishing, Li Jingang said to Avi, "Don’t worry, Doctor Wang won’t die."
Gao Yuan let out a soft breath, and Li Jingang continued in a low voice, "Doctor Wang timely treated all the wounded, everyone except himself... He’s very good."
Gao Yuan nodded, then he said to Li Yang, "Why don’t you sleep for a while? Don’t force yourself, it’s safe now, pass out."
Li Yang shook his head and said calmly, "I can’t; I’ve been professionally trained, so it’s very hard for me to pass out."
Avi gave a wry smile and said, "My sympathies, same with me."
Li Jingang said helplessly, "These two, even anesthesia won’t make them pass out, because they’ve had special training. Unless you give them a very large dose of anesthetic, but that... they won’t agree."
Gao Yuan waved his hand in resignation, saying, "Then... tell me what happened. How were you attacked?"
Li Yang shook his head; he looked at Gao Yuan and said seriously, "Nate is down there right now. As someone of equal standing, you should go talk to him, understand the situation we are facing, and decide what to do next, instead of visiting and comforting the wounded here, Captain!"
