Huo Jingrui sprinted to the infirmary. Inside, many people looked terrified, their faces pale. Some pregnant women were crying continuously; others were comforting those beside them. He grabbed a nurse. "Where is Doctor Chu's wife?"
The nurse, who had just been transferred from the commune health center, responded, "Who are you looking for?"
Just as Huo Jingrui was about to ask again, Yunyi poked her head out from a nearby consultation room. "Jingrui, I'm here."
The moment Huo Jingrui saw Yunyi, the oppressive anxiety he felt finally eased. They exchanged a nod from a distance, then each returned to their duties.
Yunyi continued her critical task of detoxification. Meanwhile, Huo Jingrui discussed matters with Qiao Shaoguo and the others who had followed him. "We need to bring more people to the infirmary," Huo Jingrui said. "I'm afraid they might strike again, especially since this area is now so crowded."
