In just a few minutes, the news of the earthquake spread rapidly along the social network - an earthquake had hit Stoneshire.
Almost the entire city was flattened.
Henry Mitchell quickly went upstairs to change his clothes and then rushed towards the Sunrise Health Center.
Stoneshire was not far from Sunnyville, and the Sunrise Health Center where Henry Mitchell worked would surely send a medical team to the disaster - stricken area.
After leaving the community, Sophie Lawrence directly hailed a taxi and rushed to the First Fire Brigade Unit as fast as she could.
Late at night, on the playground of the First Fire Brigade Unit in Sunnyville, the national flag fluttered in the dark.
"Attention!"
All the officers and soldiers stood tall and straight, facing the national flag.
Sophie Lawrence stood at the front of the line, leading all the fire officers and soldiers to take the pre - departure oath: "I volunteer to go to the disaster - stricken area for earthquake relief!"
The officers and soldiers shouted in unison: "I volunteer to go to the disaster - stricken area for earthquake relief!"
"Overcome all difficulties and obstacles!"
"Race against time to save lives!"
"Obey orders and strictly abide by discipline!"
"Make a solemn promise to every life!"
"We will never give up!"
The loud and clear oath echoed over the playground for a long time.
At Sophie Lawrence's command: "Set off!"
...
It was past six o'clock when Sophie Lawrence's team finally arrived at Stoneshire.
They were not the first troops to arrive at the earthquake site for support, but as soon as they got off the bus, everyone immediately started the rescue work without a break.
At that time, the medical team where Henry Mitchell was also on their way to the disaster - stricken area.
Cries for help could be heard everywhere, and manpower was urgently needed everywhere. Troops, officers and soldiers, and doctors entered Stoneshire in batches.
As soon as Sophie Lawrence carried a newly rescued injured person on her back to the hospital, she strode out without taking care of her own injuries at all.
Everyone in the hospital was in a hurry. There were doctors, firefighters, and officers and soldiers from other supporting troops scurrying around everywhere.
Every time she passed by a doctor, a thought would always flash through Sophie Lawrence's subconscious.
Could that person who just walked past be him?
But she didn't look back or slow down. Instead, she walked more firmly and quickly towards her own direction - to save more people.
As time passed bit by bit, more and more people came to reinforce, but the difficulty of the rescue was also gradually increasing.
Sophie Lawrence was in pain, tired, and hungry. Her body had been overdrawn to the limit.
The cold morning wind blew constantly on her face, as if urging them not to stop.
During the break, Mark and others took Sophie Lawrence to the hospital to treat the wounds on her body.
...
In the temporarily isolated operating room, Henry Mitchell sat on a chair, reached out and pulled over the shelf, and put on a face mask.
Sophie Lawrence neatly took off her protective suit, revealing a thin military - green T - shirt inside.
Because of the large movement, Sophie Lawrence accidentally pulled a wound on her right arm.
The wound was deep and long, and the blood on it had already coagulated.
Henry Mitchell frowned and asked coldly, "How did you get it?"
Sophie Lawrence didn't take this injury seriously and casually replied, "I was accidentally scratched by a steel bar while saving people."
Henry Mitchell withdrew his thoughts and picked up the surgical tweezers to clean Sophie Lawrence's wound.
As soon as it touched the wound, Sophie Lawrence suddenly shrank.
Henry Mitchell glanced at Sophie Lawrence, and his movements became more careful.
The whole operating room was extremely quiet, and only each other's breathing could be heard.
At the final stage of stitching for the finishing touches, Henry Mitchell didn't even realize that a thin layer of sweat had seeped out on his forehead.
"All done."
Sophie Lawrence looked down at the stitched wound on her arm. The stitches were fine and dense, and it probably wouldn't leave a scar.
She looked at Henry Mitchell, who was packing things with his back to her, and said softly, "Thank you."
Henry Mitchell didn't respond, just kept his head down and continued to deal with the things in his hands.
Sophie Lawrence pursed her lips, got up, picked up her protective suit, and was about to leave.
However, after walking just a few steps, she suddenly stopped, bent over abruptly, and retched.
