Chapter 311: Rain and Clear Sky - Awakening

"Detachment leader!"

"what……"

"Hurry! Save them!" Li Ming's eyes turned red and he was extremely anxious when he saw this. He was also one of the people who was pushed out by Liu Zhiye in time.

The other team members and the rescued people, with red eyes, immediately rushed forward and struggled to dig out the bricks and rubble to rescue Liu Zhiye in time.

Liu Zhiye could only push the person aside in a hurry. Then a roar sounded in his ears. His brain was instantly severely damaged and he fell into deep darkness.

Li Ming's hands quickly turned over in the ruins, and the rubble and broken bricks slipped out of his hands. His voice was filled with tears, and he shouted anxiously: "Captain, Captain, please don't be in trouble..." His eyes were red and tears were rolling in his eyes, but he tried hard not to let the tears fall. He knew that the most important thing now was to find Liu Zhiye and ensure his safety.

At this moment, the support team of the Security Department of the Red Star Factory, led by Deputy Director Sun Li, drove a large convoy and arrived at the scene in time.

Sun Li has been Liu Zhiye's right-hand man for many years, loyal and firm, with a unique personality, rough on the outside, but delicate as silk on the inside.

Under Liu Zhiye's leadership, he always maintained the highest respect and obedience, and this loyalty and firmness also won Liu Zhiye's deep trust.

Thanks to the assistance of capable generals such as Sun Li and Zhou Weiguo, Liu Zhiye was able to juggle multiple roles and cope with various challenges with ease.

Of course, it was thanks to Liu Zhiye's wise leadership that talents like Sun Li were able to quickly emerge in just a few years, leap several levels and achieve remarkable success.

The relationship between them is by no means defined by the boundaries between ordinary superiors and subordinates. It is a deep friendship that goes hand in hand with life and death, a community of shared destiny that complements each other and cannot be separated.

Sun Li jumped out of the car, walked towards the crowd with firm and powerful steps. His voice echoed in the air, clear and firm: "Director Liu! Director Liu!" His eyes shuttled through the crowd, eagerly looking for that familiar figure.

"I am here, Old Sun..."

Sun Li caught a glimpse of the busy scene and saw that no one noticed his arrival, so he resolutely squeezed into the crowd.

He struggled to push through the crowd and finally saw Li Ming, who was crying and searching for something in the ruins.

Sun Li's heart suddenly sank, and he had a bad feeling. He quickly walked towards Li Ming, grabbed his arm tightly, and asked anxiously, "Li Ming, where is Director Liu?"

Li Ming's eyes were red and swollen. He stared at Sun Li blankly and shouted, "Wow!" "Director Sun, the detachment commander, the detachment commander..."

Seeing Sun Li suddenly panic, he grabbed Li Mingde by the collar and shouted, "Tell me quickly, Liu, what happened to him?"

Li Ming recovered from Sun Li's yelling and said, "Director Sun, you came just in time. The captain was hit by the collapsed wall..."

Sun Li's eyes went dark when he heard this, his body swayed, and then he shouted anxiously: "Quick, dig Director Liu out quickly..."

After years of baptism, Sun Li's admiration for Liu Zhiye has never changed. He sincerely admires the other's talent and character.

Years of fighting side by side have deepened their comradeship, and their understanding and trust of each other have reached a point where words are unnecessary.

In this small group, Liu Zhiye is like a stabilizing force. Everyone regards him as a spiritual pillar and has deep trust and reliance on him.

Therefore, what Sun Li and others least want is for Liu Zhiye to encounter any accident. His safety is directly related to everyone's career and future.

"Dig quickly!"

"Found it, found it, be careful..."

"Not good, Captain Liu, he's been seriously injured and has fallen into a coma..."

"Quick, send him to the hospital immediately..." Sun Li's eyes revealed deep worry. Liu Zhiye in front of him was covered in wounds and blood, mud and blood were intertwined, and the whole person fell into a coma, the situation was very critical.

…………

Zheng Chaoyang was busy participating in rescue operations at another location when suddenly, the news coming from the walkie-talkie struck him like a bolt of lightning, and he froze for a moment.

"What? Something happened to the captain. What the hell is going on?"

Then, he decisively gave an order to Li Ming: "Rescue Comrade Liu Zhiye at all costs. I will be there immediately." His tone was firm and unquestionable, showing his decisiveness and determination as the chief officer.

Zheng Chaoyang put down the walkie-talkie, and an indescribable worry surged in his heart. He had worked with Liu Zhiye for more than a year. Although Liu Zhiye was a dozen years younger than him, he always admired his wisdom and outstanding leadership ability.

At this moment, he couldn't help but pray silently in his heart: "Zhiye, you must be safe..."

Then, he quickly reported to the captain: "Captain, Comrade Liu Zhiye is in trouble..."

Captain Yu is sitting in the command room at this moment, calmly directing various departments to carry out flood control and rescue work.

Since the flood relief work began, Captain Yu has been on the front line and has been working continuously for more than ten days.

Seeing that the flood was gradually receding and the aftermath work was about to begin, people felt relieved. However, at this critical moment, his trusted general Liu Zhiye heroically fell on the front line of flood control and disaster relief.

Captain Yu's lips had long been chapped, and now they were covered with bubbles. He hastily drank a mouthful of water, then slammed the teacup heavily on the table, making a crisp sound.

"What's going on?" Captain Yu was in a tangle of emotions. He was thinking anxiously and was deeply worried about Liu Zhiye's safety.

Although he was extremely anxious, he couldn't leave because of his duties and could only worry.

However, Captain Yu still called Director Guo, hoping that he could provide some help to Liu Zhiye.

That night, Liu Zhiye's story touched the hearts of countless people. He, like a magnet, quietly attracted the attention of many people.

…………

Professor Guan, several expert professors, and Deputy Director Guo and other leaders were whispering outside the surgery, their tone revealing a hint of solemnity. "This patient's condition is probably due to another violent collision, which caused the old injury to relapse."

Every word he spoke was full of professionalism and seriousness. The air around him seemed to become heavier because of his words, and everyone was silently thinking about this possibility.

Director Guo frowned and said, "Leave an injury? How did you know?"

Professor Zhao continued, "Oh! Actually, Comrade Liu Zhiye was our patient a few years ago. Five years ago..."

"This is exactly why several of us came for consultation..."

Professor Wan stated calmly, "Director Guo, I agree. Although Comrade Liu Zhiye's body is covered with scars, fractures and contusions, these injuries are not fatal."

"The reason he fell into a coma was because of a severe brain injury. Now, the biggest risk he faces is a recurrence of his old injury."

Director Guo said anxiously: "Now we know what the cause is, give him treatment immediately!"

"What are you waiting for?"

Professor Guan shook his head helplessly and sighed, "That's why the situation has become so difficult. It was only luck that we were able to successfully revive him a few years ago."

"His brain has undergone several surgeries and is already fragile. Operating on it again would be extremely risky. The success rate is almost negligible..."

Director Guo's heart tightened, and he asked anxiously: "Are we just helpless and watching?"

"At present, we can only provide conservative treatment. As for whether he can wake up, it depends on his strong willpower. We...ah..." Professor Zhao said, turning around and hammering the wall of the corridor.

Professor Guan was in a heavy mood, and he lowered his head and said nothing, obviously thinking deeply. If there were other feasible methods, he would not choose such a helpless strategy.

Director Guo witnessed everything and instantly collapsed like a deflated ball. He sat down on a chair in the corridor, as if all his strength had been drained out and he was unable to support himself.

Then, with trembling fingers, he took out a cigarette and lit it, completely ignoring the prohibition of smoking around him.

After a while, Director Guo muttered to himself, "What a good comrade he was! He was less than 30 years old this year and had a bright future. It's a pity that he died so early!"

"During the war, he shed blood and sacrificed countless lives for the country and the people. After his retirement, he remained true to his original aspirations..."

Then, he stared blankly at the nationally renowned brain experts in front of him. After a moment of silence, he asked, "How should I explain this to his parents, wife, and daughters?"

Professor Guan hesitated for a second before finally speaking: "We can only do our best and think of a solution. Just in case, it would be best to notify his family as soon as possible."

After saying this, he nodded to Director Guo, and with a heavy heart he took several experts to discuss countermeasures.

Zheng Chaoyang and others were waiting anxiously in the distance. Once the experts left, they immediately swarmed over, their eagerness evident in words.

Zheng Chaoyang asked urgently: "Commander, what's the situation? What conclusions have the experts reached?"

Ge Shuping, Xiao Geng and others also looked at Director Guo nervously. They were eager to know the latest situation of Liu Zhiye.

At this moment, in this tense atmosphere, everyone is looking forward to getting an answer as soon as possible.

Director Guo shook his head. "Ah..." Zheng Chaoyang and others were shocked when they saw this, "No way? How could he fail so soon?"

Ge Shuping was struck by lightning and suddenly fell to the ground. His voice became hoarse and sad: "Zhiye, my good brother, how could you leave me like this..."

Upon hearing this, Director Guo's face darkened and he shouted, "Shut up! What are you crying about? Nothing has happened to him yet!"

"If I let you really send me away again..."

Zheng Chaoyang and others were relieved when they heard this, it turned out to be a misunderstanding. They immediately asked anxiously: "Commander, didn't Comrade Zhiye sacrifice his life?"

Director Guo shook his head slightly and sighed solemnly: "Although his life has been saved temporarily, the situation is still not optimistic." He paused, as if recalling the experts' words, and continued: "The experts said..."

"Comrade Chaoyang, it's almost dawn, go and notify..." He paused.

Then, he continued, "Go and inform Comrade Liu Zhiye's family!"

Zheng Chaoyang and the others were shocked when they heard this. "Is it really impossible to save it?"

"Yes! I...I will go to inform Comrade Liu Zhiye's family..." Zheng Chaoyang responded with a sob.

………………

Jiaodaokou Subdistrict Office.

Before dawn, a group of determined leading cadres had led capable staff to various regions to provide emergency support for flood control and rescue.

They are like bright lights in the darkness, illuminating the way forward and leading the people to face the challenges from nature together.

Gan Ning, secretary of the Youth League Committee, stood under the bright red flag, with the five big words "Youth Commando" on the flag shining brightly.

Her voice was as clear as an oriole and was passionate. She boosted the morale of the many young people present and made the final mobilization.

Like Liu Zhiye, as a party member and cadre, she stood up without hesitation in the face of the raging flood.

She resolutely cut off her beautiful long hair and appeared without makeup, showing a unique kind of competence and neatness.

In the face of disaster, they are not only party members but also fighters, interpreting responsibility and commitment with practical actions.

Zheng Chaoyang's arrival interrupted Gan Ning's speech, and she quickly finished her speech and walked forward. "Old Zheng, why are you here? Do you have any new tasks?" she asked.

Then, Gan Ning immediately expressed her position: "Don't worry, our youth commando team will definitely live up to the mission and complete the task!"

"Comrade Gan Ning, I..." Zheng Chaoyang looked at her with mixed feelings, hesitating to speak.

Gan Ning looked at Zheng Chaoyang, and seeing him hesitate to speak, she could not help but feel a little flustered. She tried to calm down, smiled a little stiffly, and asked, "Why are you here alone? Where is Zhiye?"

Zheng Chaoyang thought about it for a moment and said worriedly: "Comrade Gan Ning, I told you not to worry!"

Gan Ning's smile froze instantly. She asked tentatively, "Old Zheng, what happened? You look so serious."

Zheng Chaoyang steeled his heart and said, "Xiao Gan, Zhiye... he's in trouble, you'd better go get him treated right away..."

"Boom!" A thunderclap sounded, and Gan Ning was struck by lightning. She couldn't believe her ears and said, "How could it be, how could it be..."

She was in a daze, as if she was in a nightmare.

Zheng Chaoyang hurriedly called her: "Gan Ning! Gan Ning! Listen to me, don't worry, it's not the last step yet, there is still hope for Zhiye..."

Then, Gan Ning was so angry that she closed her lips tightly, raised her head suddenly, and leaned back weakly, about to fall heavily to the ground.

Fortunately, Zheng Chaoyang helped her up, "Hurry up, someone has fainted..."

----

"Ding Dong... The system detected that the host's brain has crashed... Automatically repairing..."

"...Energy consumption 1358691..."

"Ding dong!..."

Liu Zhiye's eyes suddenly went dark, and he was instantly swallowed by endless darkness. Time seemed to stand still, and he couldn't be sure where he was.

However, in this boundless darkness, a faint light gradually appeared, like a lonely star in the night sky, pointing the way for Liu Zhiye.

"father!"

"Dad!" A clear shout broke the silence. A petite girl in a floral dress, with a bright smile like the spring sunshine, ran towards Liu Zhiye happily.

A warm feeling surged in his heart and he excitedly wanted to hug her tightly, but his hands only hugged the air.

"No! Keke, don't go, Dad misses you so much..." Liu Zhiye shouted anxiously, his heart filled with endless longing. However, he could only helplessly watch her turn into stars and disappear in the night sky.

"Come back, come back soon... woo woo..."

……

For a while.

"Daddy, you're crying, so shameful." Another little girl appeared in front of him. "Xiaoxian, come here quickly, Daddy is here..." Liu Zhiye saw his baby daughter again.

Two little girls, one appears at a time, the other pops up at a time, "Daddy, don't you want me anymore?"

"Dad, why don't you come home?"

"Mom said that when I can count, Dad will come home... But I can count to 100, why haven't you come back yet?"

"If you don't believe me, I'll count for you: 1 2 3 4...55 5..."

Liu Zhiye was extremely anxious, but no matter how hard he shouted, they turned a deaf ear to him.

“Ah…ah…” Liu Zhiye struggled, trying to break free from the invisible restraints, but the force seemed to come from the abyss, making it impossible for him to break free.

A low growl came from his throat, and he struggled like a trapped beast.

Liu Zhiye suddenly woke up from the hospital bed, shouted "Ah!", and then fell into a violent cough, "Cough cough..." His face was pale, as if he had just struggled from drowning.

"Wake up! Wake up! Woo woo... Zhiye wakes up... God bless him, God bless him!" This is the voice of mother Deng Ru.

"Zhiye, woo, woo..." He recognized that it was Gan Ning's voice.

"Go call a doctor quickly..." Liu Jingzhai shouted anxiously.

Liu Zhitai wiped away his tears and said, "Oh! Okay!" He immediately turned around, ran out of the ward, and hurriedly called a doctor.

Liu Zhiye coughed repeatedly, and it took him a while to calm down. He felt his body was unusually heavy, as if he had just woken up from a dream, and his soul and body had just reunited.

He spoke hoarsely and looked around in confusion, "Where am I?"

Gan Ning's eyes were red and swollen. She carefully helped him up and let him lean on the pillow. Her voice was full of concern: "Zhiye, we are in the hospital now. How do you feel? Are you feeling unwell?"

Liu Zhiye's eyes gradually focused, and finally fixed on Gan Ning's face. His vision became clear again, revealing deep doubts. "Xiao Ning, why are you here?"

Gan Ning was about to respond to him.

Several doctors in white coats hurried into the ward.

"Family member of the patient, please make way..."

Professor Guan's eyes sparkled with excitement. He stared at Liu Zhiye, his mouth trembling slightly, and whispered repeatedly: "It's incredible, Comrade Zhiye, do you still remember me?"

Liu Zhiye grinned at him: "Professor Guan, are you the one who saved me again?"

Professor Guan said: "I can't take credit for this. Come, let me check your eyes..." Then he picked up a dim flashlight, propped up Liu Zhiye's eyelids, and began to examine him carefully.

"Doctor, how is his condition?" Deng Ru asked anxiously.
