Her tone was calm, and her words were simple.
Yet they held a powerful, calming effect on everyone present.
Shang Lu was the first to react. “Yes, Miss Si is a doctor.”
Right now, the greatest shortage was medical resources. Si Fuqing’s timely arrival was a huge help to the Thousand Army Alliance.
The accompanying doctors and nurses quickly realized this and immediately took Si Fuqing to change into clean medical attire.
“Miss Si,” a doctor spoke quietly, “we’re short on medication. This patient’s wound is deep, and surgery could cause severe bleeding.”
“I understand,” Si Fuqing nodded, “I’ll handle it. Just trust me.”
The last time she treated Xi Jiang, Chen Ying had collected a significant amount of medicinal herbs from the Ghost Valley, and she had prepared various wound-healing and hemostatic medications.
She administered an anesthetic to the injured patient and then slowly extracted the steel rod from his body. After removing it, she quickly gave him a hemostatic pill.
These medicines, made from highly aged herbs from the Ghost Valley, had visibly effective results.
“It’s done,” the doctor exclaimed with surprise. “Miss Si, I’ll handle the wound stitching from here.”
“Alright,” Si Fuqing said, wiping her sweat and turning to ask, “There are many people on Weibo asking for help. Have we pinpointed all their locations?”
“The signal is damaged, so some haven’t been located yet,” the technician replied, typing frantically on the keyboard, clearly anxious. “Here’s the current list of located individuals, mostly concentrated in several shopping district subway stations.”
The rain had started at five o’clock, coinciding with the end of the work and school day.
Being a tourist city, the number of people trapped in Shan City was in the tens of thousands.
“Captain JIANG!” someone rushed in. “Many people are trapped at the A entrance of the central mall subway! The water is too high to enter, and we can’t rescue them.”
JIANG Shuihan hurried out to formulate a rescue plan.
Si Fuqing took the computer from the technician. “Let me see.”
Her fingers flew across the keyboard, and new lines of code and characters appeared in the program window.
A progress bar soon appeared, and when it reached 100%, the map transformed into a 3D model with numerous red dots, indicating significant traffic hubs.
“We found them,” Si Fuqing pointed to the red dots on the map, her voice steady. “People are trapped in these locations. Don’t waste manpower searching blindly. Target these areas and allocate resources accordingly.”
“...”
The room fell silent.
The technicians responsible for locating the help requests stared at the screen, stunned.
They had sent the data to the intelligence organizations Zero and T18 because they couldn’t pinpoint all the locations.
Yet Si Fuqing had managed it with just a few keystrokes?
How could T18 and Zero ever show their faces again?
Shang Lu was ecstatic. “Miss Si, you’re amazing!”
But as soon as he spoke, he was met with nearly murderous glares from other team members.
Shang Lu: “...”
Damn, he didn’t know Miss Si could do everything!
What were they looking at him for!
“I’m heading to the central mall,” Si Fuqing said casually, downing another bottle of water. “My fan is there. I’ll go save her.”
“But it’s dangerous there, Qingqing, you—” Ji Qingyao, seeing her determined expression, took a deep breath. “I’ll go with you.”
Si Fuqing, with great strength, pulled her and another trapped passenger up, then quickly moved to help another passenger.
“Boom!”
The ground completely caved in, stones flying. The barely cleared entrance sealed shut again, completely closed.
The passengers got out, but Si Fuqing was trapped underneath.
A team member cried out in shock, “Miss Si!”
Ji Qingyao swayed, her face turning pale. “She... she saved me. She shouldn’t have...”
She was so outstanding and dazzling, she should have been in the spotlight, on the stage.
“I already owe her, how can I harm her...” Ji Qingyao knelt, almost losing control, trying to move the rocks.
But even as her fingers bled, she couldn’t shift the aftermath of the aftershock.
“The foundation is unstable. We can’t rescue recklessly,” someone pulled her up, their voice stern and urgent. “Otherwise, another collapse will doom everyone below! Quick, report to Captain JIANG. There are still many people trapped at the central mall subway entrance A!”

In the darkness, everything was eerily quiet, only the sound of flowing water could be heard.
Someone turned on their phone, using the faint light to check the surroundings.
The water had been drained, but they were still underground, with the threat of being drawn deeper by another earthquake.
“Were the rescue workers just now?”
The light illuminated Si Fuqing’s face.
The girl’s face came into view for everyone.
The girl holding the phone’s eyes widened. “You... you’re Sui Yan, no, the actress who plays Sui Yan, you...”
“Si Fuqing! It’s Si Fuqing! I’ve watched ‘Crossing the Demon Realm’ three times!”
“My dear Qingqing, how are you here? Did you fall from above? Wait! What’s going on?”
Si Fuqing’s face was too recognizable. Even covered in mud, her stunning features shone through.
She had just been nominated for the Nine Realms Awards a few days ago, and her popularity was unprecedentedly high. Almost everyone recognized her.
But at this moment, there was no joy, only fear.
How could a big star like her be here?
No one could understand.
“Everyone, be quiet,” Si Fuqing said in a low voice. “Oxygen is depleting. Save your strength. We will get out.”
“There’s no way out, it’s hopeless,” someone said in despair. “We’re too far from the surface. The detectors can’t even find us.”
“There is a way,” Si Fuqing coughed a few times. “We’ll move upward.”
Someone started crying. “The way is blocked, how can we go up?”
They had been found by the rescue team earlier, almost getting out, but disaster struck again, trapping them once more.
“Follow me,” Si Fuqing wiped the blood from her lips, her expression still calm. “When I say go, you go.”
The girl holding the phone noticed the blood behind Si Fuqing, her face showing horror. “Miss Si, your back—”
Her words stopped abruptly.
She saw Si Fuqing kneel on one knee, using her shoulders to bear the weight of a thousand-pound stone slab. Under the shocked gaze of everyone, she slowly straightened up.
She lifted the hopes of everyone with her frail frame.
At that moment, a mortal’s body stood shoulder to shoulder with the gods.
