Although everyone was filled with enthusiasm, it was only after they actually reached the control area that they realized how difficult the work really was.
Firstly, it was the harsh environment. The middle of the road amidst the low shanties was filled with a variety of garbage, leaving Gu Yu and the others with no place to step.
The most critical issue was that much of this garbage consisted of construction waste; shards of glass and nails were everywhere.
A mere slip could tear and scratch their protective suits, exposing their limbs to the contaminated environment.
Beyond that, there was another crucial point.
That was the language barrier; the refugee camp was a jumble of people, some speaking Bengali, others Burmese.
As for Huaxia and English, they were even less practical here.
Communicating with the residents was akin to playing the lute to a cow, other than using hand gestures.
"Oh! Thank heavens you’re here! I just gave this dengue patient a dexamethasone IV injection; he still needs IV rehydration treatment."
A large tent was pitched in a relatively spacious open area.
As soon as Luo KaiXuan lifted the tent’s curtain, a wheat-skinned female doctor saw him, and although she was wearing a thick mask, the relief in her eyes could still be discerned.
"Erinda, you’ve worked hard. From here on, leave it to us,"
Luo KaiXuan took off his protective suit’s hood and walked over to take the disinfectant towel from her hand.
Erinda’s gaze swept over the members of the Huaxia Aid Team: "It’s so good you could come; we were almost at our limit."
As she spoke, tears even began to shimmer in her eyes.
These past few days they were really worn out, but they dared not rest because the refugees here needed them, and with severely inadequate manpower on the premises, everyone had to grit their teeth and keep at their posts. Explore stories on freewebnovel
"Go and rest now, we’ve taken over here. Professor Ruosi has already briefed us about the situation, but you still need to leave a few people to help us out a bit,"
Luo KaiXuan said with a smile.
"Okay, thank you very much. I’ll have Jitar and Vinny assist you; they are very familiar with the situation here and I believe they can be of great help to you."

Erinda quickly nodded, then turned to look at a corner of the tent where two young male doctors in white lab coats were asking about a patient’s condition.
Realizing Erinda was looking at them, they quickly put down their treatment record books and hurried towards her.
"What’s the matter, ma’am, is there anything we can help you with?"
Jitar asked.
"Yes, I need your help. This is Dr. Kaixuan Luo from Huaxia. He and these friends from Huaxia will be taking over the work in the camp shortly. I need you two to assist them,"
"Jitar, Vinny, you both arrived here yesterday morning and have been assigned slightly less work. Our other people are almost at their limits, so I hope you can agree to my request,"
Erinda spoke with a pleading tone.
Jitar and Vinny were also Médecins Sans Frontières doctors who had arrived at the station yesterday morning.
She had not assigned them very difficult or complicated tasks, so they were presumably not as tired and were the best choice to assist Luo KaiXuan.
As for the others, they truly couldn’t hold on for even another hour!
Upon hearing Erinda’s request, Jitar and Vinny exchanged a glance, then simultaneously nodded and said in unison, "Of course, no problem."
"Vinny and I took a rest last night, and we’re still feeling quite well. If we’re just assisting Kaixuan Luo, it won’t impact us at all," Jitar said with a smile.
"Yes, Ms. Erinda, rest assured and leave the work to us."
Vinny nodded in agreement too.
"Okay, that really is a relief! Thank you so much!" Erinda was deeply moved, feeling fortunate to have so many willing to help.
"Hello, I am Kaixuan Luo from Huaxia. I am a respiratory doctor and I also work in disease control," he said.
Listening to the entire conversation in English, Kaixuan Luo took the initiative to introduce himself and reached out to the two men.
Jitar looked him over then shook his hand, "My name is Reece Jitar, but just call me Jitar. I am a preventive medicine doctor and a pharmacist."
"This person beside me is Don Vini, a very impressive immunologist from northern Europe."
Jitar quickly introduced himself and didn’t forget to introduce Vinny beside him.
"Okay, I’ve got it. Things are too urgent now. Let’s cut the long talk short and get to work right away!"
Kaixuan Luo abandoned the idea of continuing a deeper interaction and hurried to the main topic.
He then turned to Erinda, who was standing by, listening to their conversation, "You should take those tired companions and get some rest! With Jitar and Vinny helping me, there surely won’t be any problems."
"Alright," Erinda acknowledged without fuss and nodded.
She turned around, clapped her hands towards the doctors who were either busy working or briefly resting on the side seats: "Everyone, please put down your work. The medical team from Huaxia, Kaixuan Luo, will take over our responsibilities now. You can all rest with me."
As soon as she finished speaking, a burst of ecstatic shouts erupted in the tent after a second of silence.
"Oh! That really is good news!"
"Heavens! Can I really get some rest?"
"Kaixuan Luo and his team must really be sent by God to help us!"
"I know them, with them helping, I feel reassured~"
"..."
At that moment, the exhausted doctors were energized, laughing and chatting away.
After so many days, help had finally arrived.
It was worth noting that all the doctors here were medical aid workers dispatched from various countries or from Doctors Without Borders. They were here to help, motivated either by humanitarianism or a sense of professional duty.
But that didn’t mean they could work endlessly like robots.
If it continued this way, they might fall ill before even curing their patients.
And the arrival of Kaixuan Luo and others was like a godsend.
"Everyone, go rest! We will handle the work here!" Kaixuan Luo raised his hand, and the people from Huaxia immediately began transitioning with the other doctors.
"Yu, what do we do?" Lin Xinyue asked Gu Yu, watching as people began to immerse themselves in their duties.
There were about a dozen others like them who, due to different specialties, couldn’t contribute much here.
"Haha, I think you guys could go and register the number of patients in the camp," Jitar, after discussing the work plan with Kaixuan Luo, came over carrying a stack of record books.
"But be careful, the residents here are not very friendly," he added while distributing the record books to everyone.
