50s: Starting with a storage ring

Chapter 792: Frequent Situations
Upon hearing this, Sun Zhiwei hesitated for a moment before asking, "How many patients need to come with us?"

If the number is not large, then so be it. Doctors and nurses are doing their job of saving lives, and it's normal for them to have some saintly traits in their personalities. He didn't want to waste time trying to persuade these doctors and nurses to give up on the patients.

The head nurse immediately replied, "33."

Sun Zhiwei nearly fainted when he heard this. 33 patients—that's more than all the doctors, nurses, and security personnel combined.

He looked at the head nurse with a serious expression, then turned and pointed to the helicopter behind him, asking her in return, "How many do you think it can take away at once?"

The head nurse looked at the small Black Hawk helicopter and also felt troubled.

“Head Nurse, my orders are to take all your medical team members back to the consulate. It’s unrealistic for you to take all the patients with you.”

"Moreover, we won't stay at the embassy all the time. After the escort fleet arrives in a few days, we will have to evacuate to Djibouti, which is across the Gulf of Aden."

"Would your patient be willing to leave their hometown with you? I think it's unlikely."

"In addition, you must obtain the consent of the patient and their family, and clearly inform them that there are certain risks in coming with us, and that it is very possible to encounter an armed attack on the way."

“I have an idea for you. Go and collect information on all the patients now, then classify them and keep the number of patients who must be taken away to no more than three.”

"If that's the case, I'll agree to let you bring the patient on the plane. Otherwise, I'll have to take your medical team with me."

The head nurse wanted to say something more, but seeing Sun Zhiwei's resolute eyes and the cramped space of the Black Hawk helicopter, she could only turn back.

He originally thought this transfer would be a very easy task; with dozens of doctors and nurses, he only needed to fly back and forth twice, and the mission could be completed in a maximum of one hour.

He's been at the hospital for an hour now and still hasn't managed to get any doctor or nurse on the helicopter, which is really frustrating.

Around noon, the surgery that had trapped two doctors and four nurses finally ended.

The head nurse also asked all the patients in the hospital, but unfortunately, the result was completely unexpected. Even those patients who couldn't get out of bed preferred to go home and lie down rather than leave the area.

Sun Zhiwei was delighted when he found out. Being a homebody is a good thing; it's a good habit and it's good for everyone.

Seeing the doctors and nurses' reluctance to part, Sun Zhiwei had to step forward and comfort them, saying, "Don't worry too much. Maybe the battle will be over in ten days or half a month, and you can come back then."

Soon, the first group of nurses finished packing their personal belongings and began boarding the plane.

The Black Hawk doesn't have much space on board. This particular one is a fire support type, with many seats removed. Now, if you squeeze in, it can seat about 8 people. Including the driver and passenger seats, it can carry 10 people at a time.

Seeing that the truck was already full of people, Sun Zhiwei immediately called to Yu Kang to prepare for takeoff. No matter what, they had to get a group of people away first.

The Black Hawk's engines restarted, with Yu Kang in the pilot's seat, Sun Zhiwei in the co-pilot's seat, and eight nurses crammed into the rear cabin.

Sun Zhiwei intended to train Yu Kang's flying skills, constantly giving him flight guidance. The Black Hawk successfully took off and began its return to Aden.

For safety reasons, he instructed Yu Kang to fly the Black Hawk over the sea, so that it could avoid attacks from towns along the way.

After all, there's fighting everywhere right now. Who knows if the militants in the town might suddenly decide to fire an RPG at them? Yu Kang isn't proficient enough at operating the Black Hawk yet, so while training Yu Kang's flying skills, he needs to avoid putting him in complex flight environments as much as possible.

Twenty minutes later, Yu Kang successfully landed the Black Hawk on the roof of the embassy. After all the nurses were picked up, they did not stay at the embassy, ​​but took off again to return to Abyan Province.

He counted the number of people: there were twelve nurses, four doctors, and five guards, including Yu Kang.

The first trip brought back 8 nurses, the second trip brought back 4 nurses and 4 doctors, and the third trip brought back all the security team members.

After making three trips, it should still be before 1 p.m., and the lunch at the embassy canteen should still be warm.

Sun Zhiwei was somewhat pleased with the follow-up flight plan. Although there had been some delays earlier, as long as things went smoothly afterward, evacuating the medical team in one morning would be considered quick.

But when they returned to the Zinjibar City Medical Team Hospital, the huge crowd waiting on the lawn almost made Sun Zhiwei faint.

He found the head nurse in the crowd, somewhat exasperated, and sternly asked her, "What's going on? What are all these people doing?"

The head nurse quickly explained, "These are nurses and doctors we train at the hospital; they're about to graduate."

“I heard that several hundred people are being evacuated this time, which will put a lot of pressure on our medical team. They have been interning with us at the hospital, and going back with them will definitely be helpful.”

"Are they willing to go with you? Even if it means leaving their hometown?"

"We've already asked. Those who didn't want to go have already gone home. These are the ones who wanted to leave."

Sun Zhiwei suppressed his anger and took a deep breath: "How many interns and nurses are there in total?"

There are a total of 6 intern nurses and 2 intern doctors.

"Okay, they're leaving on the last trip. Go and call the others to gather here. We're leaving right away."

Soon, the Black Hawk carried four nurses, two doctors, and four intern nurses onto the Black Hawk. This time, because Kang was the one who took off with them, Sun Zhiwei had to give up his co-pilot seat in order to fit more people in.

Watching the helicopter take off again, Sun Zhiwei counted the remaining people: doctors, the vice president and the director, two interns, two nurses, and four guards.

Excluding Sun Zhiwei, they could barely squeeze in and fly away.

At this time, patients in the hospital began to leave one after another with the help of their families, carrying the medicines donated by the hospital. The hospital, which was busy in the morning, gradually became empty.

At this moment, the hospital director, who was also the leader of the medical team, came over.

It turned out that the hospital director hoped he could find a way to save the hospital's important medical equipment.

Our medical team is coming to support local healthcare, and it's not just about sending people; we also need to send necessary medical equipment and medicines.

Otherwise, in underdeveloped countries like Yemen, where even cold medicine cannot be produced, Western medicine would be useless.
