Chapter Seventy-Eight: Follow the Doctor's Advice
"Lord Vejerry, Lord Vejeri!"
The Inquisitor, who had been talking to all the nonsense in Riniei, kicked his leg and woke up from his bed.
"What...... What's the matter with such a panic? Vejerry wiped the cold sweat from his forehead. Whoever he called him now looked like a reacher, and it seemed that he was frightened in Hilzi.
"There seems to be a card on the river ahead...... We didn't have it when we came before. ”
Vejerry's heart sank into the river with a thump. Seeing that he was about to arrive at Shield City, it would be all right to send those sick patients into the city to connect the people. Who would have thought that not far after crossing the border with the West, he encountered a water checkpoint.
"We don't have anything dangerous on our ship except for those people, what are we afraid of?" Now Vejerry is in a dilemma, and he can only continue to move forward with half a shipload of sea cargo and dangerous people.
The paddlers in the bilge were still paddling hard, and the breeze on the Minerva was not enough to propel the sails forward. Vejery couldn't sleep anymore, so he went up to the deck and watched the lights on the river approach.
Suddenly a roar rang out nearby. The clipper with the pillar of light approaches the level like a bow and arrow. A terrifying pillar of light swept towards the cargo ship, and in an instant the entire deck was like daylight. Before Vergery could figure out what was going on, the white-painted Iron Clipper quickly approached with a loud voice.
"This is the El Tamineva River Patrol Office, please quickly stop the oars and anchor, please quickly stop the oars and anchor, we are about to board the ship for inspection, we are about to board the ship for inspection!"
"No sails, no oars...... The power of magic? The roar of the devil? Vejri looked at the approaching inspection ship and muttered to himself.
This is not a check ship at all, these are two Type 62 gunboats...... After the refurbishment, it was equipped with automatic cannons, equipped with retired naval crews from the country and the Doniva private army, and became the "capital ship" of the subordinate institutions of the "Elta Customs".
The automatic guns in position A and the anti-aircraft machine guns in position B were aimed straight at the Vejerry's cargo ship. Others don't know the power of this barrel-shaped weapon from the Otherworld, but Vejery doesn't know it. What's more, it's a much more powerful thing than the police revolver that scared him into incontinence.
"Stop the ship, stop the ship!" Vergery took three steps and two steps, and pulled the ship's bell very cooperatively. The iron anchor in the bow of the ship was quickly lowered, and the already unhappy cargo ship immediately stopped on the water.
The gunboat also quickly dropped the anchor chain and fastened the gunboat to the side of the cargo ship with an iron hook attached to the cable on the bollard. A dozen men from each of the two boats quickly boarded the rope ladder with a hook.
"Thank you for your cooperation, owner, please forgive me for the inconvenience caused by the tension in Elta and the frequent outbreak of epidemics." The leading indigenous staff member greeted him in accordance with the rules. When talking about the frequent outbreaks, Wei Geli unconsciously trembled, but fortunately no one should have noticed.
Only then did Vergery realize that there were actually a number of people from the other world who came up from behind. Yellow-skinned brunette ...... For a while, he couldn't take his eyes away, so he kept looking at a few visitors from the other world who were carrying guns and holding all kinds of magical devices.
"Brother is the first time you've seen you, right? Hey, that's true for everyone. First of all, what are you transporting on this ship? ”
"Hilqi's seafood." That's when Vejerry realized his gaffe. "Salted."
"Did you bring anything forbidden? For example, magic wands, swords, guns, halberds, etc...... For personal use, you should register the seal, and you can't tear it before leaving......"
Damn, there are so many rules. Vejery was silently relieved to hear this. He didn't even bring his own.
"Alright, get all your crew members on deck, and we'll register them one by one." The clerk flipped the pamphlet, turned his head and shouted to his colleagues in the back, "Everyone get ready, I'll check below deck later!" ”
The breath of relief that had just been relieved instantly rose from his stomach to his throat. He doesn't leak a drop of water when he checks the goods, and it will be troublesome to check the people. The cabin was now indeed locked with a few plague patients who were creepy through the wooden walls, and had been chosen by the demons.
Wegery had never turned his head so fast as he did now. He should be glad that he made the right choice at this moment.
"Sir, there are a few of us here who can't get up to the deck." Vergery changed his stuttering and sluggishness and spoke fluently to the customs officer.
"They're sick, are they? Still is......? The clerk slowly turned around and reached into the part of the pamphlet with the note on his head.
"Chief, they are...... Chosen by the Devil ......"
Before Vergery could finish speaking, the clerk quickly flipped to page 62 of the pamphlet and shouted in Chinese.
"Emergency Thirty-two! Lungs...... Pulmonary tuberculosis! ”
"X grandma's!" The captain of one of the gunboats quickly shouted to the man next to him: "Medic! Go get isoniazid and rifampicin from the wheelhouse pill box! And the first mate, you also follow him down to help him! We need one gas mask for rubber chemical protective suits, and double the masks! ”
Then the captain yelled at the sky. "Brothers, let's do business! Wori, why is Ge Laozi's advantage in the second detachment? We also want to make meritorious contributions! I! Guys! Also! Want! Stand! Merit! Hoo! ”
The crews of the two gunboats also chanted "Hooray!" together. ”
"What...... Circumstance? Vejerry asked the staff his question.
"I've seen too many people like you. I feel that the otherworldly medicine in the new district and new city is famous all over the world, so I send people to the new district for treatment, which is really bold. ”
"What?" Vejerry was puzzled. He hadn't turned a corner yet. Is there a hole in the head of this group of people?
The clerk continued to look at Vejery in front of him with disdain, "I'm afraid you're the first one who dares to send this plague to the new district for treatment." It is said that businessmen are fat, but I didn't expect it to be so fat. ”
"Can this disease really be cured?" Vejerry's brain was basically running at full speed at this time, and he was smart enough to quickly get into the role.
"The locals have cured several. You should be glad that the people of the other world who helped us build a magical city and grow wheat in winter were able to reverse the laws of the gods in terms of medical skills. The little clerk couldn't help but be excited and proud to start showing off the anecdotes of the new district.
As the saying goes, life depends on acting, and Wei Geri has almost put on a posture of praying sincerely to the staff at this time. At least he was saving his life now. Behind him, several gunboat crews in rubber jumpsuits and gas masks had already descended to the base cabin. They will put the same clothes on the patient's body, put the same gas mask on him, and send him back to the new area as a treatment object and research material.
From the time they went down to the cabin to put the five patients in isolation gowns to the time they were transported out, Wei Jieli and the clerk talked about the sixth plague patient who died in the cabin on the way...... There is also the sea cargo in the cabin, Wei Geli made it clear that he would send a few boxes to the checkpoint, and the small staff also made it clear that they could not take a stitch from the masses, and we understood the kindness...... The two sides thus played a friendly tug-of-war on the deck.
"Your ship can't stop at Shield City for the time being." After the last patient was lifted out of the bilge, a yellow-skinned man who knew Elta's language took the place of the clerk and said to Vejerry in a serious manner. "You can go down the river and leave the western region now. Here are some cures for the plague and instructions, all of you should swallow them for at least two weeks before you can do business in Shield City again. We took all these patients with us to ensure treatment. But we are not responsible for life and death. When the time comes, it's okay for you to come and get it, but if you don't come to get it, then we'll talk about it...... We'll let them pay for the medical bills with their salaries. ”
Vejery nodded yes, thinking about how to run away. After all, these patients from all over the world didn't have much to do with him. This trip is really a wolf's den and tigers take turns to go in and out, and his little heart really can't stand it if he scares it again. He didn't expect that after discovering a few people chosen by the demons, these strange inspection ship crews actually cheered instead of holding an iron barrel at him, the ill-intentioned captain. It's incredible.
Also, can wheat be grown in winter? the groove. Can you cure the disease chosen by the demon? Lay down in a big groove. He had to hurry down the river to tell Rucha or go back to Hilzi to inform Ouffe Mondridge. Anything here is news that can shock the upper echelons of the Bimonthly Church. What's more, the person has already been delivered, and he can be considered to have completed the task. It's not easy to save a life from the plague and the boss's cracks along the way.
The two gunboats broke away from the cargo ship and headed upstream. Vejri looked at the strange ships and suddenly remembered the drawings he had brought back from Rineihu about the magic propulsion device. With this advantage, the enemy ships that were able to advance lightly against the water would not be able to break through the western water defense line by the river ships of the two moons. The enemy can smoothly use ships to deliver troops from any point on the river without fear of being stopped and pursued...... Thinking of the fiasco of Rineihu, he seems to have seen the tragic situation of the Twin Moons Western Expeditionary Army, which was exhausted and unable to save fires. The enemy may not be strong in combat, but he is twice as long as his own.
The cargo ship also put away its anchor chain and turned around to return with the current. Rather than disembarking the oarsmen, Vejerry paid them enough to continue rowing hard, hoping to increase their speed down the river. The seafood began to be taken out of the crates and used as food, and it was no longer worthless to keep them for dead weight and bring them back to Silzi, so it was better to cook them and eat them.
The reason for the decision to go back to Hilzi was that Vergery had vaguely felt that Rucha knew at least half of the news he had just learned. Rucha should also be on top of his troubles now, if he wants to offer treasure, he shouldn't go to him, and don't touch this fat man, the future Garcia defender is angry.
