1129: Chapter One thousand one hundred and twelve: Supplies
Andy He finally finished the surgery, and it was Gao Yang’s turn next, because his injuries were actually more serious compared to Jansen’s.
Andy He perford surgery on himself, but his face still looked spirited.
Sitting on the chair, he carelessly placed his bandaged legs on the ground without any protective asures, ready to start operating on Gao Yang.
Gao Yang asked with concern, “Dragon Knight, are you up for this?”
Andy He raised an eyebrow and said, “Of course, why wouldn’t I be?
You should be more worried about yourself.”
Gao Yang swallowed and asked, “What do you an?”
“There’s nothing much.
You only have one dose of anesthetic available, but you have two wounds.
You know what I an, right?”
Gao Yang smiled wryly and replied, “No worries.
Having surgery without anesthesia?
It’s not my first ti.
Pain won’t kill you.
Let’s do this.”
“First, we’ll take care of the arm, then the injury on your hand.
The arm won’t hurt too much, but you’ll need to endure the pain in your hand.”
Gao Yang sat down next to Andy He, turned his head, closed his eyes, clamped his teeth tightly, and didn’t make a sound.
The arm needed ticulous work connecting all blood vessels and nerves, which took ti, so he first dealt with the less complex wound on the hand.
Cleaning out the sand and debris in the wound was painful, but Gao Yang could bear it.
Actually, Gao Yang was not the type who could endure a lot, but he had to do so now.
Andy He had perford surgery on himself for two whole hours without uttering a sound, making Gao Yang feel embarrassed to complain about pain.
Though the wound on the arm was significant, it wasn’t as painful as the one on the hand because there was anesthesia involved.
However, to not affect the arm’s function, Andy He worked extrely ticulously.
Just this part of the surgery took more than an hour since there were many nerves on the arm, and it was better to be careful.
Finally, after suturing the arm wound, Andy He took a breath and said, “Alright, it’s finally done.
Boss, absolutely don’t move your arm before the wound heals, or I might have to operate on you again.”
Gao Yang quickly nodded, “Alright, I’ll find sothing to suspend my arm later to avoid moving it by accident.”
After saying this, Gao Yang looked concerned and asked, “Are you okay?
You’ve been persisting for a long ti.”
Andy He smiled and replied, “No problem.
The stimulant will keep
energized for a while.
That’s not the key issue.
Boss, I want to know when can we leave?”
Gao Yang frowned and said, “The situation doesn’t seem very optimistic.
Dani is already coordinating our evacuation.
The Ministry of Defense has given an order to evacuate us as soon as possible, probably pushed personally by the President or Marshal.
But the problem is that the Rebel Army has nurous anti-aircraft missiles, and we might not be able to leave in the short term.”
Andy He said anxiously, “If that’s the case, then the problem is quite serious.
Boss, our surgeries went well, but we seriously lack disinfectants, and there’s also a lack of a clean, sterile environnt.
I’m very concerned that our incisions could get infected, and I only have a few dicines for preventing and treating infections.”
Andy He was just one person and had to carry essential combat gear and dical supplies for all of Satan’s team mbers.
Naturally, he could only bring the most critical items, so many necessary things couldn’t be brought along.
Gao Yang had to plan ahead.
If they could leave shortly, they could receive post-surgery care and recovery in a facility with the right conditions, but in a place lacking dicine, many tasks were impossible to carry out.
Once an infection set in, it would beco very problematic.
After thinking for a mont, Gao Yang spoke gravely, “There should be airdrops to the prison soon.
Give
a list of what you need.
Whether or not we can leave, let’s have the supplies sent first.”
Andy He nodded, “That’s absolutely necessary.
However, Syria only has so of the most basic dicines.
So specialized dicines, I doubt you can find them here.”
Gao Yang imdiately asked, “What dicines?”
Andy He pondered before speaking seriously, “So drugs that promote wound healing and can significantly speed up the healing process, as well as dicines that provide immunity to prevent wound infections.
Even if disinfectants are sent now, we are already behind, so it’s better to strengthen our own immune functions.
And there are dications that promote bone growth.
Big Bird has fractures, and Rabbit’s leg bones might also be broken.
Since the bones in the foot are tightly packed, dication for bones is necessary.”
“Just tell
the nas, and I’ll have Little Donnie buy them imdiately.
There’s always a way to get them delivered to us.”
Andy He looked a bit troubled and said, “The drugs I ntioned might not all be available in Arica.
One of them is the latest from France and hasn’t been approved by the Arican FDA.
It’s not available in Arica, but I rember it can be bought in France, and now possibly within the entire European Union.”
Gao Yang shook his head and said, “Don’t worry about these issues.
You just need to tell
the nas.”
Andy He imdiately said, “Okay, I’ll jot down the nas for you.
There must be at least seven or eight different dications.
Hmm, let’s get so donkey-hide gelatin as well, we all need to replenish our blood.”
Gao Yang blurted out in astonishnt: “Donkey-hide gelatin?”
Andy He looked at Gao Yang with surprise and said, “Yeah, donkey-hide gelatin.
You’re from Huaxia, surely you know it’s used for blood replenishnt, right?”
Gao Yang hastily explained, “No, it’s not that.
Isn’t donkey-hide gelatin for won to consu?
Also, I just find it odd that you, a practitioner of Western dicine, would suddenly ntion donkey-hide gelatin.
No problem—donkey-hide gelatin it is.
We’ll pick the best quality.”
Andy He laughed and said, “Don’t forget, my dad is a practitioner of traditional Chinese dicine.
Do you think I know nothing about it?
And who told you that only won can take donkey-hide gelatin?
Okay, hurry and get everything prepared.
No matter where we are, we will need these dications, and it’s best to get them as soon as possible.”
Gao Yang chuckled and said, “Since we’re going to purchase supplies, why not buy more dications, nutritional products, and the like?
Write down everything you think will be helpful.
The faster we recover from our injuries, the better.”
Andy He also smiled and said, “Alright, that’s what you said.
No problem, I’ve written down everything necessary.
Get Tyrannosaurus to co here and write; she knows French, and so dications need to be written in French.
Okay, let’s have Big Bird prepare for surgery.
He just needs his face treated; the fractures don’t require surgery and he’ll recover quickly.”
Gao Yang left the infirmary and after having people take Jansen inside, he said to Eileen, “You know French.
Go in and have Andy He tell you what dications we need to record.
Also, has the drone been located?”
Eileen smiled and replied, “Found it, and it’s not even damaged.”
Gao Yang breathed a sigh of relief and said with a smile, “Military drones are expensive and purported to be both crash and interference resistant—couldn’t be so easily damaged.
Good to know the drone is fine.
Go inside, then.”
Eileen didn’t take long inside before she ca back out with a piece of paper, densely filled with writing, and handed it over to Gao Yang, saying, “Here, a total of twenty-three types of dications.”
Gao Yang imdiately said, “I can’t read French, so I’ll call Little Donnie, and you can talk to him.”
After telling Little Donnie what dications were needed and instructing him to prepare everything as soon as possible, Gao Yang began to contemplate how to obtain these dications.
Of course, it would be best to go out and get them, but if that wasn’t possible, they would have to have the dications sent in.
The real question was how to get them delivered as quickly as possible.
It was already 9:30 in the morning, and the day was well lit.
While Gao Yang was pondering these matters, Saidev approached him and said in a low voice, “General, it’s alti.
You should eat sothing.”
Gao Yang’s train of thought was interrupted.
When he looked up, he saw Saidev holding two packs of compressed biscuits in one hand and a stainless steel bowl filled with water in the other.
“Thank you.”
Feeling quite thirsty, Gao Yang took the bowl from Saidev and drained the water in just a few gulps.
Seeing Gao Yang finish drinking, Saidev said apologetically with a smile, “General, we have limited facilities here.
Please put up with this for now.
Here are so biscuits, please have a few.”
Gao Yang had only one hand free.
While Saidev was speaking, he tore open a pack of the compressed biscuits for Gao Yang.
After returning the bowl to Saidev, Gao Yang took a piece of compressed biscuit and said with a smile, “Thank you, I am actually quite hungry.”
Gao Yang detested eating compressed biscuits—intensely so.
These biscuits weren’t particularly disgusting to eat, but they were hard, and the taste…
well, eating them occasionally was one thing, but if you had to rely on them as a staple for a prolonged period, you would co to loathe them intensely.
Having taken the compressed biscuit and nibbled on it a few tis, Gao Yang spoke laughingly, though his words muffled by the plethora of crumbs in his mouth: “Major, what do you usually eat?
Is it just compressed biscuits?”
Saidev wasn’t eating, and upon hearing Gao Yang’s question, he shook his head and replied solemnly, “We make do with what we have.
Compressed biscuits are for ergencies when we can’t get supplies for a long ti.
Now we still have so flour to make flatbreads.
If we have rice, we cook it.
If we have nothing else, then we eat compressed biscuits.
I estimate that the next airdrop will co soon, and by then we might be able to offer you so canned at.”
Gao Yang understood.
Eating compressed biscuits made him nauseous, but for Saidev and his n, these biscuits were regarded as a treat.
Gao Yang was aware of the conditions in Aleppo Prison; back when Saidev and his n received no supplies, they almost starved, only eating once every two days.
Gao Yang didn’t flaunt any noble sentint by insisting that everyone eats the sa thing.
At this ti, accepting Saidev’s kind hospitality was more heartwarming than flaunting any so-called spirit.
After once again thanking Saidev, Gao Yang asked in a serious tone, “Major, do you know when the next airdrop is expected to arrive?”
Saidev shook his head and said, “I don’t know, but we’ll be notified beforehand.”
Gao Yang smiled and asked, “So, what are you most in need of and what do you most wish for?”
