1899 Plague

Although there is no humanitarian organization like the International Red Cross in this era, the profession of doctors itself has a certain flavor of boasting about the world, and any country will have some respect for doctors. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info

Fourteen sampans carrying seventy Marines and sixty medics, led by Buck and Yellow Evil, approached the docks, and gradually the city full of Middle Eastern desert atmosphere began to become clear.

There are earthy yellow houses everywhere, the roofs are covered with wood and dry coconut grass, and the walls are pitted mud walls, and you can see the sand peeling off the walls when the hot wind blows.

Port Suez is not a big city, it is just a small town attached to the canal, and the size of this building can be considered a town with 2,000 people.

Dirty houses and streets, lazy dingoes scouring the streets for everything they can eat, and a few dots of coconut palms are the only bit of vitality in the city, and if it weren't for this bit of green, maybe everyone really thinks it's a dead city.

Ma Hui scratched his nose, "It's too weird here, what about the people, where are the people......

"Company Commander Ma Hui, please wear a mask!" "From now on, we have entered the epidemic area, everyone must obey our orders, the first is to wear masks, the second is not to eat or drink any food and water in the city, and the third is to take collective action, and do not touch the corpses and patients without permission......"

The intimidating tone made no one present dare to slack off, everyone put on masks, checked the water bottle and compressed biscuits they carried, the soldiers checked rifles and ammunition, and the doctors opened the wooden boxes they carried with them and checked the equipment and medicines according to the number.

The sampan slowly washed up onto the beach, the soldiers jumped into the water first, dragged the sampan by hand to the diving beach area, and then the doctors began to go ashore, at which time the magistrate of the port of Suez, a bearded man in a *** robe, came over and greeted him in non-fluent English.

"Welcome, friends from afar, and may Allah bless you!"

Buck looked at the bearded magistrate with a confused look in his eyes, but it was also a flash, and then he smiled and hugged the magistrate and asked, "What about the officials of the Canal Authority, are they indifferent to the plague?"

The magistrate's face changed, and he smiled and did not answer, "Honorable guest...... The plague sufferers, we have all gathered in the empty houses west of the docks, if you want to go and see me, I will take you there......" With that, he led four ragged soldiers to lead the way.

Buck, Yellow Evil Doctor and Ma Huiluo Monkey got together and whispered, "It seems that the French have made it clear that they want to fight against us, Egypt is nominally a province of the Ottoman Empire, but everyone knows that the canal is managed by the French!"

"Justice, Taxation, Garrison...... It's all run by the French, do you see the European-style building at the docks? where is the French Canal Authority, where is the real owner of the city!"

"The real master doesn't show his face, let these puppet-like officials come out, I really don't know what bad they are holding back! Everyone be careful......

Ma Hui sneered and looked at the building in the distance, "It's okay, they are disgusting at best, and they don't dare to do it...... There are so many cannons on the sea to support us, scare them to death!"

"Brothers, disperse the vigilance ......"

The gun-wielding soldiers protected the medical team, and the team that came to treat the sick and save people was murderous.

Along the way, everyone found that the city had become extremely terrifying because of the plague, and there were few people in the streets and alleys, and even if there were people, they were in a hurry and did not dare to stop.

Especially when they saw these murderous outsiders, the local people hurriedly fled into the alleys in fright, and they even felt that behind the countless wooden doors, there were many pairs of eyes secretly observing them.

In this era, the Chinese are very strange to the Middle Eastern peoples, but they are no strangers to the weapons and equipment in the hands of soldiers, and they are no strangers to that powerful murderous aura, and these indigenous people faintly feel that this group of people is even more terrifying than the French garrison at the dock.

The magistrate who led the way could personally experience the murderous aura behind him, and he didn't dare to say anything along the way, but he kept wiping his sweat, and soon the group came to the edge of the city, and a huge mud-walled courtyard appeared in front of people's eyes, which seemed to be a place for the desert caravan camel team to rest.

"This is it, now there are more than 200 sick patients concentrated here, and there are still many people in the city who are not feeling well, Allah bless you......"

Pushing open the courtyard door, almost everyone subconsciously covered their mouths and noses, and people smelled the stench through the thick masks.

"Oh my God! Is this a slaughterhouse?"

The courtyard was full of lying patients, some humming, some fainting unconscious, some obviously dead, and flies crawling on it. The courtyard was lined with men, and the houses showed women's clothes.

There was fresh and dried vomit all over the ground, and there was also dirt from urine and urine under people's bodies. The magistrate jumped to his feet and covered his nose and ran, "These are the cursed people, this is it...... Allah bless you as you like!"

"Damn, it's really unrighteous! These are all your fellow villagers, you ran ......away first," Luo Monkey cursed, eager to give him a shot in the back.

This kind of occasion has to be a doctor's good psychological quality, Buck and Huang Evil Doctor have never seen any disgusting scenes, there are thousands of corpses that have been studied by their hands, and these more than 200 plague patients are definitely a small scene.

"Preparing for assay ...... The first group tested stool and urine, and the second group tested vomit......"

"Xiao Luo, you start to screen the dead patients, let the soldiers and brothers take the hand, separate the living from the dead, and the dead will gather in the sand dunes outside first......"

"Prepare blood samples...... I suspect it's a plague caused by dysentery, and I'll send some of my soldiers to the wells throughout the harbor to take water samples......!

There is really no money in the world, Xiao Letian's high investment in the medical industry has directly raised a group of well-trained medical staff, Huang Xie Yi and Buck don't need to talk nonsense at all, and all the teams immediately took action.

A mouthful of medical wooden boxes was opened, and microscopes, petri dishes, and alcohol stoves were ...... Delicate laboratory supplies were lined up and the teams began their meticulous inspections.

But they didn't know that near the ruined courtyard, several pairs of eyes were staring at the Chinese's actions in the window of another room.
