Chapter 8 — In Rebirth, I Choose to Save People Before Saving Myself

When you get to tent number four. Inside was utter chaos. Doctor Chu stood next to the patient. Continuously commanding first aid.

"Tham Thanh Tu!"

"Hurry over here and help."

I immediately washed my hands. Wear sterile gloves. Then walked over to the emergency table. The patient is male. About thirty years old. The abdomen is pressed by a heavy object. His face was gray. Rapid breathing.

"What's your blood pressure?"

Dr. Chu asked.

"75 out of 50."

"Still continuing to fall."

Nurse replied.

"Prepare for emergency treatment."

"Contact the back for transfer to the hospital."

Doctor Chu quickly gave orders.

"Tham Thanh Tu."

"You assisted me in cleaning the wound and examining the damage."

I nodded. Wear sterile gloves. Pick up the tool. Lam Hieu stood next to him. Still holding notebook in hand. Their eyes from beginning to end followed our every move. The emergency lasted forty minutes. Clean the wound. Finally, the patient's vital indicators were temporarily maintained. I took off my gloves. The sweat on his forehead was flowing in streams.

"Tham Thanh Tu."

Doctor Chu nodded.

"Very well done."

"First time participating in an emergency like this and responding very quickly."

"Thank you, leader."

"Go rest for a while."

She looked at the clock.

"In the afternoon, there are three more tents to patrol."

I nodded. Then step outside. Lam Hieu quietly walked behind.

"Doctor Tham."

She called out. I stopped walking. But don't turn back.

"What is up?"

"Very good."

She said softly.

"The emergency just happened..."

"You're not panicking."

I turned around. Look straight at her.

"You're also very good."

I calmly replied.

"Really fast news."

"I immediately knew tent number four had a critically ill patient."

Lam Hieu just smiled. No explanation.

"Lin Hieu."

I looked at her.

"What did you come to this rescue team for?"

She looked straight into my eyes. His eyes were extremely calm.

"Save people."

"Like you."

"We are not the same."

I said coldly.

"Unlike where?"

"You used to hurt me."

"I will never forget."

Lam Hieu did not object.

"I know."

She nodded slightly.

"So..."

"You don't have to believe me."

"You just need to do your job well."

"I'm good at my job."

I looked at her for a few more seconds.

"I hope so."

I turned around and left. Just walked a few steps. Her voice suddenly rang out from behind.

"Be careful, Commander Han."

I stopped. But still no turning back.

"He..."

"It's not simple."

Lam Hieu's voice was very soft.

"Best..."

"You should stay away from him."

I continued to step forward. Don't look back. But in my heart... I remembered that saying. Han Vien Son... Not simple? What's his problem? Why did Lam Hieu remind me? Is it goodwill... Or is it a new trap? I do not know. But from this moment on... I have to be more careful. In this place... Anyone can have problems. Han Vien Son. Doctor Chu. Even... everyone wrote my name on the list of the Provincial Health Department. I can't completely trust anyone. Except... Myself. I returned to the tent. Lie down on the field bed. Quietly look at the canvas roof above. Outside, the sound of the walkie-talkie continued to ring. But my world... It's strangely quiet again. So quiet... I can hear every beat of my heart. I'm still alive. In this place... It's the biggest victory. These The rest... Solved step by step. One day... I will investigate the whole truth. One day... I will make everyone who harmed me pay. Not now. What I have to do is save people. Is work. Is to continue living. Is patiently waiting for the opportunity. When the time comes... All truths will reveal themselves. I closed my eyes. Really fell asleep. Sleep is very deep. Not a single dream. When you wake up. It was dark. Outside the tent. The fire is still burning. In the distance, the sound of people talking could be heard. I stood up. Step out. Han Vien Son is standing next to the fire. His eyes looked straight at me.

"Are you awake?"

He spoke up.

"Eat something."

"There's still a mission tonight."

I stepped forward. Accept the dry bread he gave you.

"What mission?"

"Transportation for seriously ill patients."

"Helicopters can only fly at night."

"During the day the risk of aftershocks is too great."

"Should I go too?"

He nodded.

"She is the youngest doctor in the team."

"Good physical fitness."

"Most suitable."

I nodded.

"There's one more thing."

He lowered his voice.

"Lin Hieu said..."

"She once asked her if I was a simple person."

"What does that mean?"

My movement of biting the cake stopped. Lam Hieu... Have you told him? That fast?

"Nothing."

I calmly replied.

"Just asking casually."

Han Vien Son looked at me. Eyes sharp as knives.

"Tham Thanh Tu."

"I know you have a secret."

"Me too."

"But in this place..."

"We only have one goal."

"Save people."

"I get it."

"It's good to understand."

He turned around.

"Get ready."

"Departure in one hour."

I looked at his back. In the end... who is Han Vien Son? Why did the Provincial Department of Health directly appoint me? Why did Lam Hieu remind me to be careful of him? Why again... As soon as I asked her about him... She immediately told him everything? Han Vien Son. And the person who wrote my name on the list of the Provincial Health Department. Between the three of them... What kind of relationship is there? Or enemies? Are you an ally? Or opponents? I do not know. But I know... From now on... I have to be more careful. Every step... Must be carefully calculated. Every word... Must be thought through before and after. Because in this place... Just one wrong step... The price to pay could be a lifetime of unrecovery. I returned to the tent. Pack up your luggage. Exactly nine o'clock at night. I and three other doctors followed Han Vien Son to the helicopter. The helicopter took off in the middle of the night. Fly straight into the epicenter. Below is pitch black night. Occasionally a few isolated spots of light appear. It is a temporary resettlement area. It's a rescue barracks. These are places where there is still life. Our destination is a remote village in the mountains. Roads were completely destroyed. If you want to take a seriously ill patient out... The only way is to use a helicopter. Forty minutes later. The plane landed in an empty field. There were people waiting below. Each person holds a flashlight. We immediately jumped down. Follow Han Vien Son and run over. There are five patients. They were all lying on makeshift ambulance stretchers. The situation is extremely critical.

"Get on the plane!"

Han Vien Son shouted loudly. Everyone split up to carry the stretcher. Take each patient to the helicopter. When the last stretcher was lifted... I unintentionally glanced at the person carrying it on the other side face. It was a young man. Wear rescue team uniform. But the face... I've never seen it before. He looked at me. Smiling softly. A smile... So strange that it's hard to describe. My heart suddenly tightened. I quickly boarded the helicopter.
