Will to Live Part 2

Thursday

Lan Zhan couldn't believe it.

"WEI YING! WEI YING!!" He howled into the hole, his hand suddenly free.

Cold fear gripped his body and he shivered, scared that they were too late. His fingers already bloody began to tear away at the rock and stones, desperation in his actions.

He hardly felt the strong arms band around him, pulling him away from his position on the ground as a crane with a cinch began lifting the top layers of the concrete, while another man pointed a strange looking infra red camera at the place Lan Zhan had been standing just moments ago.

"DIDI! YOU CAN STOP NOW!"

These words jolted Lan Zhan out of his stupor and he turned around and cried.

XiChen was shocked.

He had hurried out of the hospital on his way to the roof to catch a ride with their emergency helicopter, and called his friend, Nie MingJue who owned a construction company, to send some of his best men and equipment to the ground zero area, and as they had a contract nearby, they were on the scene before the ambulance.

XiChen wasn't prepared for the state of that wreckage, and worse, for the state of his baby brother. He had never seen Lan Zhan this upset before.

His arms tightened around his brother, as he tried to soothe the distraught man.

"He'll be fine, Didi. Have some faith." He stroked his back, hoping to calm him down.

"Xiongzhang..."

"Didi...what have you done to your hands?" XiChen took his bloody fingers in, horrified. "Were you trying to dig him out yourself?" But he understood when he looked into golden eyes filled with pain.

A shout from behind them had both brothers rushing forward. Lan Zhan heard the ambulance behind them, but all of his attention was on the crumpled frame of Wei Ying's body, lying in a pool of blood.

Lan Zhan could only watch as XiChen directed his colleagues and they started a blood transfusion immediately upon locating the external injury, and then they wrapped him in foil and lifted him into the helicopter.

There was no way Lan Zhan was going to leave him now. He tossed his keys to one of the paramedics and jumped into the helicopter with his brother.

Wei Ying was taken straight into the operating theatre. XiChen pulled Lan Zhan inside too, where he could watch everything from behind a glass gallery.

The procedure lasted a few hours but they managed to get him stable.

After they transferred Wei Ying to the ICU department, XiChen came to find Lan Zhan. He was sitting next to Wei Ying, holding his hand.

He started, when XiChen put his warm hand on his shoulder.

"Didi...we have to inform his family."

That was all he had to say, for Lan Zhan to stand up, dashing away his tears.

"Lan Zhan...I need you to do something for me..."

"Can you go and see my boy?"

"Lan Zhan...go see A-Yuan, tell him...tell my boy I love him."

"I'll do it."

XiChen nodded and handed him Wei Ying's ID, his shattered phone, and his wallet and keys.

"What's his condition?" Lan Zhan asked.

"Three broken ribs, a contusion in his back that we managed to fix...but you saw...he went into shock two times on the table. Right now, he's slipped into a coma, but we think that's just his way of dealing with everything. He'll wake up as good as new, once he gets through the first forty eight hours."
