The piercing sirens pierced the night sky. Shen Qin opened his eyes suddenly, but was so shocked by the sight in front of him that he could not speak.
Three hours ago, she was the attending physician in the emergency department of Shanghai Renji Hospital. She fainted in the break room after working for 36 consecutive hours. But now, she was lying in a muddy field, artillery fire roared in the distance, and the sky was dyed a weird orange-red.
"Hey! There's a female student over there!" Came a rough male voice.
Shen Qin reluctantly stood up and saw several men in khaki military uniforms running towards her. She had seen that military uniform style in historical documentaries—National Revolutionary Army? The national army during the Anti-Japanese War?
"Girl, why are you here alone?" The leading middle-aged soldier squatted down, his dark face full of concern, "Shanghai has fallen, and the Japanese are arresting people everywhere."
Shen Qin opened his mouth, his throat so dry that it was smoking. She looked down at herself. She was still wearing a white coat, and the hospital badge on her chest was even still there. This is ridiculous, she must be dreaming.
