Chapter 978 - 942: I Always Somehow End Up in These Damn Situations

"You should also contact your family or friends!"After finishing the call, Lin Jie, hiding behind the cash register, handed the satellite phone to Yuan Puzhen and Qin Shuying.

Yuan Puzhen shook his head and whispered, "We don't need it!"

"The search team found us, and once you make a phone call, people outside will know we're temporarily safe."

Lin Jie nodded and slightly raised his head to look outside.

Through the street-facing floor-to-ceiling windows that had lost their glass, he saw the night sky lit up in red from the fires outside, and occasionally heard the faint sound of sirens.

He handed the satellite phone to a man beside him with a calm face and asked, "Captain Miao, what's the situation outside? Can we leave?"

Captain Miao shook his head and said, "Although a large number of police and special forces have entered the city, on our way here, we noticed there are still thugs active. It's not safe to leave yet."

Lin Jie said helplessly, "You should be able to contact the German side, right?"

"That's not a problem."

Upon hearing the confirmation, Lin Jie quickly said, "Tell them our location and have them immediately send blood plasma and emergency medical supplies."

"Otherwise, the heavily wounded in the wine cellar won't last much longer."

After giving these instructions, he couldn't help but mutter, "What on earth is this? Unexpectedly caught in a terrorist riot... I'm really unlucky."

Time rewinded three to four hours earlier.

The brain tumor removal surgery on the Caucasian man went relatively smoothly.

Before coming to Germany, Lin Jie had memorized the surgical plan, and despite the operating room's slightly rudimentary conditions, it had all the necessary equipment and amenities.

Under these circumstances, the entire surgery lasted three hours and twenty-five minutes, within Lin Jie's expected timeframe, ending at 10:50 PM.

After checking the vital signs of the Caucasian man and preparing for his transfer, Lin Jie, exhausted and hungry, along with Yuan Puzhen, Qin Shuying, and Han Chen, returned to the private room through a concealed pathway.

The restaurant owner was obviously prepared, as a steaming meal was already set on the dining table.

After spending twenty minutes dining, the four walked out of the private room.

Lin Jie noticed that, even at this late hour, there were still two tables with a total of five foreign guests in the restaurant.

Yuan Puzhen informed Lin Jie that Germans indeed loved nightlife, drinking and chatting late into the night was quite normal.

Han Chen drove Lin Jie, Yuan Puzhen, and Qin Shuying away from the Chinese restaurant, planning to first send Lin Jie back to the Panorama Hotel.

As for the Caucasian man still in the operating room, Lin Jie wisely didn't ask further questions.

He knew that his work was done, and surely someone would take over the subsequent tasks.

Unexpectedly, just minutes after they started driving, a thunderous explosion suddenly erupted.

A dazed Lin Jie saw flames spraying out from the ground floor of a high-rise building tens of meters ahead.

Fragments of glass and debris flew, loudly cracking against the car's front windshield.

Following the explosion's roar, four or five loud blasts echoed from various parts of the city.

Simultaneously, the surrounding lights flickered off.

It was a blackout.

Observing the huge balls of fire rising in several parts of the city, Han Chen deduced it wasn't a mere accident, prompting them decisively to return to the Chinese restaurant.

Utilizing the moonlight and the glow from the fires, the roads were still visible.

Abandoning the car, they ran along the street-side shops back to the restaurant.

Along the way, they saw numerous Germans emerging from buildings to investigate the unusual happenings.

During this, Lin Jie attempted to call Cheng Xingguang and others, but the calls couldn't connect; sending messages to An Kexin and Lin Miao far away in Binhai through WeChat also failed due to network issues.

This journey was relatively smooth, as they safely returned to the restaurant.

Entering the restaurant hall, Lin Jie noticed not only emergency lights but also two camping lamps, keeping the area well-lit.

Apart from Owner Zheng, two waiters, and three chefs, there were more than ten foreign guests gathered.

Lin Jie felt relieved.

Light is always reassuring, and with more people comes more strength, providing a sense of security.

However, Han Chen beside him shouted angrily in Chinese, "Fools, turn off the lights quickly, turn off the lights quickly."

Just as his words fell, Lin Jie heard the exceptionally loud roar of a motorcycle engine, mixed with the "dada" sound.

He saw glaring beams of light swaying chaotically.

Before Lin Jie could react, his body was heavily tackled followed by the sound of glass shattering.

When the motorcycle engine noise faded into the distance, Lin Jie, clutching his head, turned around and realized the street-facing glass wall of the restaurant had been completely shattered.

Meanwhile, cries for help and groans of pain reverberated in Lin Jie's ears.

He also understood that the "dada" sound was machine gun fire.

In an instant, an indescribable terror rose from his heart, gripping his mind.

Was I just shot at by a machine gun?

Am I going to die?

Faintly, Han Chen's voice drifted near and far, "Expert Lin, someone just fired a machine gun, it's not safe here, let's hide in the restaurant's wine cellar."

Feeling weak and dizzy, Lin Jie couldn't control his body, vaguely sensing someone supporting him to a different place...

"Expert Lin... Expert Lin... Expert Lin..."

It seemed like someone was calling him!

"Expert Lin!"

It really was someone calling him.

Suddenly startled, Lin Jie woke from his semi-conscious state, seeing Yuan Puzhen urgently calling his name, vigorously shaking his shoulder with both hands.

"What's going on? What's going on?" The awakened Lin Jie quickly asked.

Seeing Lin Jie regain focus in his gaze, Yuan Puzhen slightly relaxed, and hurriedly said, "Expert Lin, several people are seriously wounded, they need your help."

Lin Jie then realized he was inside a brightly lit wine cellar.

Checking himself, he found he wasn't hurt.

Furthermore, he saw a young German lying not far in front of him.

His upper clothing had been torn open, revealing a circular wound the size of a peanut on the lower right chest, bubbling with fresh blood gushing out.

The German youth was breathing heavily through his open mouth, clearly struggling to breathe; careful listening revealed a hiss of air entering through the chest wound.

This was an open pneumothorax caused by the gunshot!

He immediately went to the German's side, using his left hand to firmly cover the wound, sealing it to convert the open pneumothorax to a closed pneumothorax, buying time for subsequent rescue!

Lin Jie turned to Yuan Puzhen, saying, "I need surgical instruments."

"Owner Zheng has gone to fetch them."

Yuan Puzhen urgently said, "Owner Zheng mentioned there's a dental clinic nearby, where there should be some equipment and medical supplies."

"He's gone with a few others to collect them."

"Expert Lin, please take care of this wounded person first. There are more injured upstairs, and I need to bring them down."

Watching Yuan Puzhen run towards the stairs, Lin Jie glanced at the wall hiding the secret door.

He didn't speak.

Although there's a fairly decent makeshift operating theater behind it, complete with surgical instruments and equipment, he understood it couldn't be revealed publicly.

Within three to four minutes, four more wounded were either supported or carried into the wine cellar.

Under Lin Jie's now composed directions, several dining tables were also carried in and assembled into three operating tables.

When Lin Jie was ready on his side, Owner Zheng and a few others returned to the restaurant.

They not only brought surgical instruments, anesthetics, first-aid kits and others, but also two severely injured individuals.

Owner Zheng urgently said, "Expert Lin, none of the phones are working now; it's chaotic outside. I can only bring these two wounded inside."

Lin Jie responded firmly, "Owner Zheng, can you take more people to that dental clinic and bring me everything that could be useful, regardless of what it is?"

"Qin Shuying, log everyone's blood type, and directly transfuse blood to those severely injured if their blood types match."

"Yuan Puzhen, attend to the other wounded."

"Han Chen, assist me."

At this moment, Yuan Puzhen, Qin Shuying, and Han Chen noticed a drastic change in Lin Jie's demeanor, as if seeing a calm and collected general commanding an army, they all nodded in agreement.

Lin Jie rolled up his sleeves, grumbling, "Damn it, such emergency rescue settings seem to have a thing with me..."
