Chapter 225 Powerful Hemostatic Powder

Chapter 225: Chapter 221: Powerful Hemostatic Powder

After learning the reason from Zhou Jun, Lin Feng wasn’t particularly concerned.

Besides, he was indeed restricted; he had to operate within the boundaries of Lin Xian Village.

If he left the confines of Lin Xian Village, he wouldn’t be able to upgrade any buildings even if he wanted to.

With so many people needing the various things he possessed, he wasn’t exactly without connections anymore.

If someone thought they could get their hands on those things just by taking control of Lin Xian Village and tried to snatch it from him...

...at worst, he would just reclaim the Token, abandon the current Lin Xian Village, and find a new place to develop.

If he had to choose a new place to develop right now, he would definitely pick a location with mountains, water, plains, and proximity to the sea.

In fact, he had considered finding such a place and starting construction there, so that if anything went wrong with Lin Xian Village, he could just leave.

Then, once he was in the new area, he could seamlessly rebuild Lin Xian Village.

Of course, Lin Xian Village was still stable for the time being. Unless it was absolutely necessary, Lin Feng didn’t want to relocate.

The main issue was that if he truly reclaimed the Token, all the special items he had obtained would become useless.

Furthermore, the rewards from his quests and his own Level would all have to be started over from scratch.

Zhou Jun suddenly asked, "What about that temple on West Spirit Mountain? Do you want it?"

"Huh? Wasn’t that temple built by monks?"

"They can’t solve their problems over there. Now that no tourists are willing to visit, they wanted to ask if you’re interested. They’re willing to be incorporated into Lin Xian Village."

Lin Feng shook his head. "No, thanks. If I really needed one, I’d find my own mountain to build on."

"If you don’t want it, that’s fine. We can talk about it again when they go out of business."

Zhou Jun also felt that taking over the temple now wasn’t a good idea. In any case, without tourists, they wouldn’t last much longer.

In truth, he had his eye on the buildings inside the temple. With a few renovations, they could be perfectly livable.

The terrain over there was much more suitable for construction than the area around Lin Xian Village.

It wasn’t far from Lin Xian Village, and if the environment could be restored, many people would probably be willing to buy property there.

Of course, if the environment recovered, even if the monks didn’t want it anymore, they wouldn’t lose money selling it to someone else.

But right now, due to the environmental issues, no one was willing to take it off their hands, even if they wanted to sell.

"Hurry, hurry! Everyone, pick up the pace!"

The two men heard the shouting and saw a group of doctors and nurses rushing out of the Land God Temple.

"What’s going on?"

"There’s been a car crash down the mountain! A bus swerved to avoid a car and went off the county road."

A tourist yelled, "Holy shit! Everyone, clear a path! Let the doctors and nurses through!"

At that moment, Lin Feng’s phone rang.

"Boss, can we use the hemostatic powder produced at the Medicine House to save lives?"

"Yes. Take all the hemostatic powder. I’ll take full responsibility if any problems arise."

"Thank you, Boss."

The hemostatic powder was still in the approval phase and, according to regulations, was not permitted for external use.

However, the higher-ups had already purchased a significant amount from him.

Lin Feng searched online and found that some netizens had already posted about it.

The situation didn’t look good. The bus had plunged straight off the road and overturned at the bottom of a slope.

From the pictures, it seemed to be the county road a few kilometers from Lin Xian Village. Fortunately, there were trees there to break the fall.

Otherwise, if it had rolled all the way to the bottom, the situation would have been much worse.

Lin Feng called Hu Xia. "Hu Xia, did you hear about the bus accident? Send some of your security guards over to help."

"Boss, I know. But we don’t need to send anyone. The construction team from down the mountain has already gone."

Only then did Lin Feng remember that the construction crew from the base of the mountain was far more professional at handling these kinds of situations.

Just then, Zhou Jun hung up his phone and said, "Lin Xian Village doesn’t need to send anyone else. They just need doctors over there right now."

Luckily, there were quite a few doctors in Lin Xian Village, many of whom were highly skilled.

With this group of doctors rushing to the scene, they should be able to help many of the injured.

In the vehicle rushing to the rescue, Wu Xianlin quickly distributed the hemostatic powder to the doctors and nurses on board.

"Everyone, take some. For any patients with bleeding injuries, use this powder directly on the wound. It can stop bleeding quickly."

"Dr. Wu, has your Lin Xian Village come out with another new medicine?"

"Yes, this is called hemostatic powder. It’s similar to the Clearing Heat and Stopping Cough Pills and the Qi Replenishing Soup. The formula came from the boss.

It’s still in the approval phase, so it hasn’t been sold to the public."

Hearing this, the doctors in the vehicle tightened their grip on the powder. ’This is definitely good stuff.’

If the powder’s effect was really on the same level as the Clearing Heat and Stopping Cough Pills, then treating certain bleeding symptoms would become much easier.

When they arrived at the scene, people were already rescuing those with minor injuries.

They hadn’t dared to move the seriously injured victims, fearing they might cause secondary injuries.

Of course, this was only because everyone had determined there was no risk of the bus catching fire. Otherwise, they would have definitely prioritized getting people out first.

"Quick, quick! Nurses, go treat the bleeding patients. The rest of us will check on the passengers trapped and injured inside the bus."

Nearby, a group of construction workers was using equipment to cut open one side of the bus.

"How many injured people in there still need treatment?"

"There are still six injured people who are unable to move."

A doctor poked his head inside to look, his expression turning grave. Someone was clearly bleeding uncontrollably, possibly from a severed artery.

’I can only pray it’s not the main artery,’ he thought, ’or this will be a major problem.’

"We need to get inside to treat the victims. We need your help."

"Whatever you need, just say the word."

"Use ropes to lower us in from here. Also, tear this entire section open. We need to get the victims out."

"Understood."

Someone ran over and said, "For any bleeding, use the hemostatic powder first. It works incredibly well.

We tried it on the injured people over there. It stops the bleeding instantly."

"Really?!"

"It’s true! There was a victim with massive bleeding from the leg, and after using the powder, the bleeding stopped."

Hearing this, the doctors moved quickly. They had to stop the bleeding of the victims inside the bus first.

"By the way, the powder can be injected into the wound area with a syringe."

They hadn’t expected it could be injected. If it could really stop bleeding that fast, this was definitely a miracle hemostatic drug.

A doctor, lowered in through the window cut into the side, saw a victim bleeding profusely and quickly located the source.

"Quick, quick! This victim needs immediate attention! His thigh is impaled by a wooden stake. It’s likely hit an artery."

"Dammit! It seems to be stuck. We can’t move him without removing the stake. Have the firefighters arrived yet?"

"Not yet. Can’t we lift him out?"

"No, not unless we pull out that stake in his thigh. But the problem is, pulling it out will likely cause massive bleeding."

"Wait, massive bleeding? Didn’t someone just say that hemostatic powder could stop it?"

But the doctors below didn’t respond. They didn’t know the true capabilities of the hemostatic powder.

If the powder failed to stop the bleeding in the victim’s leg, it could very well lead to his death.

Under these circumstances, they didn’t dare gamble their careers on it.

Besides, given the situation, waiting for the fire department to assist with the rescue was the correct protocol.

Wu Xianlin looked at the victim below. His face was completely drained of color, as pale as a corpse.

’At this rate, if we delay any longer, he’ll definitely die from blood loss.’

"You go check on the other victims. I’ll go down and handle this one."

He was a doctor from Lin Xian Village. Even if something went wrong, he didn’t have to worry about being fired.

"Dr. Wu, you?"

"It’s fine, it’s fine. I’m different from you guys.

First, mix the powder with glucose. ’I’m the one who makes this powder, and even I didn’t know you could use it this way.’

It wasn’t his fault. After getting the powder, they had only tested it on animals a few times.

Most of the subsequent batches of powder had been purchased by the higher-ups, leaving very little for them.

And because both the hemostatic powder and the Clearing Heat and Stopping Cough Pills needed to be produced, there was simply no time for them to conduct proper drug trials.

After being lowered into the bus, Wu Xianlin first assessed the victim’s condition instead of immediately treating the wound.

Once he determined the victim wouldn’t last until the main rescue team arrived, he examined the location of the impalement—it was right in the thigh.

Another five centimeters up, and the guy’s "third leg" would have been done for.

"Give me the syringe. Mix up more of the powder. I might need a lot."

"Got it. Here you go, Dr. Wu."

Wu Xianlin took the syringe and injected some of the medicinal liquid into the wound, following the line of the stake.

Just ten-odd seconds later, he noticed the blood flow had diminished. The method was working.

He asked for more of the powder solution and continued to inject it into the wound along the stake.

Wu Xianlin looked at the victim, who was already losing consciousness. They had to get him out for a blood transfusion as soon as possible.

"Dr. Liu, come over and help me hold his leg. I’m going to pull out the stake."

"Dr. Wu, that’s very dangerous."

"It should be fine. I have faith in the powder.

Besides, he can’t hold on much longer. We have to get him out for a transfusion immediately."

The two worked together. As Wu Xianlin pulled out the stake, he simultaneously injected the solution into the wound.

The situation was better than he had imagined. The effect of the hemostatic powder was powerful; there was no gush of blood.

"The stake is out! Lower the stretcher and ropes! Let’s get him out for treatment.

Dr. Liu, what’s the status of the other five patients? Are any of their lives in danger?"

"Their condition is stable. I did a quick check. They just passed out from the impact."

The sound of ambulance and fire truck sirens came from outside. It seemed the county’s rescue forces had arrived.

"Get the people out first. Don’t worry about anything else."

The firefighters moved quickly, coordinating with the construction team to enter the bus and cut open the areas where victims were trapped.

On their end, they used ropes and a stretcher to lift the man out of the bus.

"Dr. Wu, it’s a good thing you brought the hemostatic powder. Otherwise, I don’t know what would have happened today."

"Yeah. I heard a lot of the victims this time were bleeding uncontrollably. Even if they could have made it to the hospital, it would have been extremely dangerous."

Wu Xianlin wiped the sweat from his forehead and said, "It wasn’t me. The formula for this powder came from our boss. I didn’t expect it to be this effective either."

"The formulas Boss Lin comes up with are all good stuff. I hope he can produce more like them.

Dr. Wu, I was wondering, could I buy some of that hemostatic powder from you?"

’This stuff is a lifesaver,’ he thought. ’It can’t hurt to keep some on hand.’

Wu Xianlin shook his head. The powder hadn’t even passed its review yet. Even after it did, it would be bought up by the higher-ups.

With the powder’s powerful hemostatic effect, it would definitely become part of the national reserve—an essential drug for the battlefield.

After all the victims needing emergency care were transported away, they heard that the crash wasn’t an accident but a completely man-made disaster.

The car the bus had swerved to avoid was driven by a couple who had gotten into an argument over something.

The woman wanted to get out, but the man couldn’t stop on the road, so she resorted to literally grabbing the steering wheel.

This caused the car to lose control. After the bus swerved to avoid it, it was sideswiped by the car.

At first, everyone thought it was just a rumor, but then a dashcam recording from another vehicle surfaced, showing the whole wheel-grabbing incident.

You could only say that with over a billion people in the world, you get all kinds of mindsets. Cautionary tales like this had appeared online several times before.

But in the end, it still happened. The person involved gave no thought to the consequences of her dangerous actions.
