The Beginning of Natural Disaster, I Won by Hoarding Tens of Billions of Supplies

Chapter 591: Five Days and Nights Without Sleep

When they found out that Gu Tinglin was okay, Chief of Staff Si didn’t hold up Jiang Ning anymore. He turned to ask Director Ma, “Director Ma, how’s your health? If it’s not too serious, can you help out at the hospital?” 

Ma Guangnian was feeling unwell but could still push through. “I can.” 

Jiang Ning smiled, “Thank you, Chief of Staff. Then I’ll be taking my professor with me.” 

During this special time, Chief of Staff Si and his group stopped occupying the treatment room. Those who could help stayed to assist, and the rest went back to the guesthouse. 

Jiang Ning closed the door, took out a protective suit from her bag, and said with concern, “Professor, make sure to protect yourself.” 

Ma Guangnian couldn’t help but smile. She was still the same as before. 

There were too many patients, and they were so busy they barely had time to use the bathroom, let alone eat or rest. 

Jiang Ning was still young enough to hold on, but her teacher was older and couldn’t afford to be in any danger. 

She pulled out two lunch boxes. “Let’s eat something. We need to fill our stomachs before we can work.” 

Worried about potential conflicts between doctors and patients, Jiang Ning had the director send two soldiers for extra protection for Ma Guangnian. 

Upon learning the latest situation, Rong Sanshao announced loudly, “Everyone, line up properly and don’t push! Comrade Jiang Ning specially invited Professor Ma Guangnian to see patients together.  

Who is Professor Ma Guangnian? He’s a national treasure-level doctor who receives special state subsidies from China, widely known as the Divine Doctor with a Thousand Hands…” 

Seriously, Jiang Ning wanted to strangle him. 

Sure, he could brag, but could he at least sound more reliable? Add some depth and layers to it. 

But, oddly enough, the survivors, desperate for help, liked this direct and simple approach. 

Soon, the patients were lining up in orderly lines. 

There weren’t enough nurses, so Shu Xueqing organized an emergency training for the soldiers to step in. 

Things were progressing smoothly when suddenly, gunshots rang out from the pharmacy. 

Jiang Ning was stunned. Rong Sanshao exchanged glances with her, and they hurried toward the pharmacy. 

Behind the pharmacy, in the kitchen, a corpse lay in a pool of blood. A soldier who had fired the shot was directing people to drag the body out. 

The director rushed in. “What happened?” 

A shaken pharmacy staff member pointed at the deceased and explained, “I saw him sneaking something into the medicine barrel. I tried to turn him over to the military, but during the struggle, he—he got shot and killed.” 

The air was thick with moth powder, and all the soldiers wore masks. 

The soldier who had fired the shot lifted his leg and started walking out… 

Rong Sanshao grabbed him by the arm and shouted, “Which division are you from?” 

The soldier tried to push him away. “Stabilization Enforcement.” 

“Stabilization Enforcement, huh? Today, I’m in charge,” Rong Sanshao reached to pull off his mask. “You’ve got some nerve, firing before the investigation is even complete?” 

The soldier raised his hand to strike back and tried to get away. 

Jiang Ning lifted her leg and swept it over, knocking him to the ground in just a few moves. 

Rong Sanshao pinned him down and slapped him hard twice. “You dare hit a superior? Who gave you that courage?” 

Hearing the gunshot, the other Stability Enforcement soldiers quickly arrived. 

They pulled off his mask and were surprised to find no one recognized him, and his uniform didn’t fit properly. 

A fake! 

Fortunately, the discovery was made in time, and the deceased hadn’t managed to mix the substance into the medicinal brew. 

Jiang Ning carefully examined the medicine packet. The white powder was colorless and odorless and couldn’t be identified by the naked eye. 

But it was definitely not something good. 

All the medicinal liquids were checked. The powder was sent to the medical office for testing, and the fake soldier was taken in for interrogation. 

The director looked at Rong Sanshao with deep gratitude. He may have been a smooth talker, but he really did think everything through. 

If the person who poisoned the medicine had succeeded, who knows how many patients would have been harmed? The hospital… 

No, the hospital’s reputation would have been damaged, but the one who would suffer the most would be Jiang Ning. 

It was her medicine. Her prescriptions. 

She was elevated to a god-like status, only to be slammed down from the pedestal. 

It was indeed ruthless, to the extent of risking the patient’s life without hesitation. 

The director’s expression drastically changed and suggested letting the police or military handle the investigation. 

However, the imposter was already dead. 

By the time Jiang Ning and the others arrived, he was already bleeding from all seven orifices, his face dark and purple. 

This kind of death, anyone with medical knowledge would recognize as arsenic poisoning. 

It’s been twelve years since the natural disaster, where did he get this from? 

Now, it’s all over—there’s no way to prove anything. 

Rong Sanshao secretly cursed but didn’t forget to exchange a glance with his sister: Whoever benefits most is probably the one behind it all. 

Jiang Ning gave him a look in return: Let’s wait for the investigation results. 

That said, he really was weak—almost taken down by a fake. 

Rong Sanshao was fuming from her look—dammit, who’s weak? She’s the one freakishly strong, okay! 

Everyone went back to their tasks. 

While the hospital worked tirelessly, the military was also responding actively. 

They tackled the problem head-on, working hard to eliminate the moths. 

Only by removing the source of the problem could they reduce the number of patients. 

They used nets, high-pressure water guns, flames, disinfecting sprays, and more. 

Everyone was on the move. 

Patients kept coming in, and even with three people handling one every minute, they couldn’t finish by sundown. 

Wearing protective suits, forget about drinking water, there wasn’t even time to use the restroom. 

Huo Yishen and Doudou brought meals—steamed sweet potatoes, potatoes, and tomato egg drop soup. 

Rong Sanshao immediately grabbed his loudspeaker. “Family members, the disaster is ruthless, but people are kind. Comrade Huo and his sister…” 

He went on and on, leaving the siblings so embarrassed they almost took the food away. 

In the end, with not enough hands, the two even volunteered to help distribute the meals. 

After handing out the food, they temporarily took over Jiang Ning and Ma Guangnian’s spots so they could take a break. 

After more than ten years of the natural disaster, the siblings’ medical skills were actually quite good. It was just that with Jiang Ning around, they never had a chance to show them. 

Jiang Ning and Ma Guangnian finally got a moment to rest. They sat down in the break room, drank a cup of sugar water, and rested for half an hour to recover. 

After their meal and a bit of stretching, they got back to work. 

By 2 AM, all the patients had been treated. 

Many medical staff collapsed right on the ground, fast asleep. Jiang Ning was so exhausted she couldn’t even lift her legs, so Huo Yishen carried her home. 

Rong Sanshao took Ma Guangnian back to the guest house and handed him a steaming bowl of chicken soup, “Director Ma, this is from Jiang Ning. She asked me to make sure you finish it before going to rest.” 

Ma Guangnian couldn’t help laughing and crying at the same time. 

It wasn’t an exaggeration—taking off the protective suit, he felt like he had just been pulled out of the water, drenched in sweat and sticky. 

Jiang Ning showered and passed out the moment she hit the bed. 

Gu Tinglin was still worried, so after she fell asleep, he came by again, “Most of the moths have been dealt with. Let her sleep in tomorrow.” 

The next morning, she woke up close to ten o’clock. 

As Jiang Ning turned over, she realized Gu Tinglin had already taken charge at the command center. 

After one night, another wave of moths arrived. 

But now, with experience, the soldiers were handling them in an orderly manner, much less chaotic than when they started yesterday. 

The hospital was still overcrowded, but thanks to yesterday’s sorting, follow-up visits were a lot less burdensome. 

It was another exhausting day. 

The farm continued to donate meals, while the patients’ conditions improved, and their emotions gradually stabilized. 

Rong Sanshao showed up on time every day, hyping up the scene with his glib tongue, tossing out exaggerated phrases nonstop. 

When he reached the emotional part, he couldn’t help but shed tears. “Family members, to save patients from the clutches of death, Comrade Jiang Ning has been awake for five days and nights. She only took two minutes in between to eat a meal and didn’t even complain when she got stomach bleeding.” 

“She says Fengcheng is her home. She wants every one of her family to be well, and together, we’ll weather this moth disaster. After the storm, there will be a rainbow…”
