700 Sunrise (1/2)

”Be careful.”

”Stay safe.”

”Be careful, it's slippery.”

Amid the darkness, the men warned each other as they went from the warehouse at the bottom to the deck.

All the people were of varying heights, and they formed a row along the sides of the ship. They stood facing the east as the wind blew on their faces, and their clothes fluttered. They could only see darkness. When they raised their heads, the ocean was pitch black, and when they lowered their heads, the ocean blended in with the darkness. Only the sounds of waves and the voices of people could be heard.

”After this, I'm going to scold whoever who says that they want to live alone on an island to death,” a nurse suddenly said, drawing light chuckles from the people around her.

”It's still alright to live alone on an island. There will be lighthouses, anyway. It's scarier to live alone in the mountains. Tigers are even more intelligent than cats.”

”Based on the situation, I believe that the morgue is safer. There was once when I worked until late at night and ended up sleeping in the morgue. When I woke up the following day, I almost scared a hospital leader to death.” Lin Honghou recalled the incident and could not help but wish that he had actually scared the hospital leader to death.

A dash of light rose slowly in the sky from the horizon.

Daybreak came gently, like a campfire at the edge of the sky. It was faint yet bright at the same time, giving those who saw it a sense of anticipation, and filling their hearts with emotions.

The blue sky and rosy clouds formed a gorgeous painting, slowly unfolding itself before the people's eyes.

Slowly, the blue sky turned clearer, and rosier clouds appeared.

”It's here,” someone said in a soft voice just as the top portion of the sun appeared.

The crowd went silent once again.

The group of adults held the railings and leaned against the side of the ship as they stood side by side. No one said a thing as they gazed at the sun, which was rising from the east.

”We saved sixty-seven people.”

”Twenty-one of them were critically ill.”

”All of the patients who were sent here survived.”

”Today is indeed the highlight of our lives,” Lin Honghou muttered to himself.

Even though he had worked on the hospital ship for quite a few years and had undergone a few training sessions, this rescue mission was the most large-scaled one that he had ever participated in. Find authorized novels in Webnovel，faster updates, better experience，Please click for visiting.

Most importantly, it was a glorious success.

To have saved the lives of twenty-one critically injured patients, no matter how a person looked at it, it was something to be proud of.

Lin Honghou felt that everyone who was present should receive a medal. Of course, the leaders were the ones who gave them medals, but even if his leaders did not commend him, he would still be proud of his performance in this rescue mission.

This was definitely a tale that he could relay to his grandchildren.

The sun rose slowly, like a meatball in a hotpot. If a person were to fix his gaze on it, it would remain low, and the person would not notice any changes. However, if you stopped paying attention to it for a moment, it would be high up in the sky already when you looked at it again.

Lin Honghou greedily took in the sight before him.

The wind stopped.

Everyone basked themselves in the warmth of the morning sun.

”It's time to go home.” There was pride on Lin Honghou's face.

”It's time to go home!” Zuo Cidian seemed emotional.

”It's time to go home,” the captain of the rescue team who was the last person to return to the hospital ship muttered softly as he stared at the direction of Baoyuanjiao.

Ling Ran watched the sunrise together with everyone too.

The final surgery ended an hour ago. After everyone cleaned the operating theater and sent the patient to the ward, it was almost daybreak.

That was when someone suggested watching the sunrise together.

Ling Ran liked the idea very much. The rising of the sun and the disappearance of the moon was actually a very orderly affair.

Even when humans did things subconsciously, they would eventually fall into a state of order. This was because human life was orderly in its essence.

To carry out activities when the sun was out and to sleep when it was dark out there. To avoid bathing in the cold river at night, m*sturbating in the vast meadow under the scorching sun and drying clothing items when the wind was strong. Humans had always been bound by an order suited for them.

Ling Ran watched the sunrise quietly. He did not return to the room to rest.
