Chapter 39: The Assassination (Part II)
The captain showed a kind of crazy hysteria, and his whole face was distorted and deformed. The wound was hastily tied with strips of cloth on his leg, and at this time, because of his emotion, fresh blood seeped out along the gap.
He grabbed Xue Yuan's trouser leg and shouted, "I can still save it!" I just got a shot in the thigh and it was just a penetrating wound! The bullet did not get stuck in the flesh! It doesn't take a smart doctor, just clean my wound and bandage it and I'll live! Why did you throw me here to die? ”
Before Xue Yuan could kick the madman's hand away, a small group of gendarmes heard the sound and discovered the situation, they ran towards Xue Yuan with a shout, and raised their rifles.
Xue Yuan knew that there would be no good fruit to eat if he acted rashly now-the wound left by Hao Scarlett on his shoulder with a pistol was still faintly painful: although Xue Yuan's healing ability, which had reached 20 points, was far beyond ordinary people at this time, if he was aimed at and fired by a small group of military policemen with rifles, he was afraid that he would die of pain if he was not killed.
He raised his hands in a foolish manner to indicate that he had no weapons, but this cooperation did not result in a friendly response—the squad of gendarmes did not lower their guns, but approached him with their guns raised.
"What are you doing here?" One of the gendarmes at the head looked very vigilant, "This is not the place for you to stay"
"I have no ill will." Xue Yuan said, "I'm just-"
"You have to save me!" When the crazy captain saw the gendarme coming, he gave up grabbing Xue Yuan's trouser leg and crawled towards the gendarme who opened his mouth. "Help me, I'm-"
Because of this crazy captain's unexpected behavior, the wounded around them also rioted - they didn't want to stay here and die, their wounds were extremely susceptible to infection in this filthy environment.
"Shut up! Soldier. "The gendarme gave the crazy captain a blow with the butt of his gun, hitting him in the back of the head and knocking him unconscious." I don't want to hear any bullshit about myself, just stay here and wait for the ambulance to take you away! This is a military order! ”
He took a ferocious attitude to suppress the wounded soldiers around him.
"You haven't answered yet, what are you doing here?" The gendarme said viciously to Xue Yuan. Thanks to Hao Scarlett's special human skin mask, Xue Yuan was no longer his true face at this time - he now had an ordinary white face: yellow skin was too conspicuous in Atlanta, if Xue Yuan appeared here in his original form, I am afraid that the gendarmes would not ask him "amicably", but directly send Xue Yuan to eat a gun.
"Ladies and gentlemen, I have no ill will." Xue Yuan said calmly, "I'm a doctor, I just heard that there are many more wounded soldiers in the city, and the federal army may need me, so I came." ”
"That's nice, what's your name?" The gendarme grinned and sneered, obviously not believing Xue Yuan in its entirety.
"Jason, Jason? Statham. Xue Yuan said.
Naturally, the name is not fake, no matter what era it is, doctors are a very skilled profession. After the Confederate army captured Atlanta, Atlanta's doctors were registered, and many of the most skilled doctors were semi-forcibly incorporated into the military medical sequence. For example, Dr. Meade, who lived in Miss Pitty Pat at his home, was one of the doctors who was forcibly recruited. It's just that the federal army didn't want to force these doctors too much, so they didn't let them live in the barracks.
There weren't many doctors in Atlanta, and many of them were taken away by the rout in the South. So at the moment, there are only a handful of doctors in Atlanta, and they are all on the list of the federal army, and it is absolutely impossible to hide a name from the gendarmes.
But Jason? The name Statham was given to him by Pitty, and it originally belonged to a crappy doctor in Atlanta. During the offensive and defensive battle of Atlanta, he was unlucky enough to be hit by a stray bullet and lost his life. Miss Pitty Pat used some means to hide the matter for some reason, and reported Jason Statham to Sherman as a big man.
Why isn't there a goof, you ask? That's because Jason Statham's resume is too strange, and basically none of the critically ill patients he took over survived, and no less than dozens of people have died in three years of medical treatment. Even a common cold can deteriorate into pneumonia at his fingertips, which is why Jason Statham is also known as the "Hand of Death" in Atlanta.
If it weren't for the fact that Jason Statham's whole family was devout, I am afraid that he would have been tied to the cross for barbecue by superstitious and conservative people as evil wizards! Seeing such a resume, who would be in a military doctor with an abnormal brain?
"Jason? Statham? The gendarme at the head looked back, and one of the gendarmes, who looked a little younger, nodded at him, and leaned in to whisper something in the ear of the gendarme at the head.
The younger gendarme had fair skin, and when he talked to the gendarme at the head, he had an ambiguous posture, which made Xue Yuan suddenly think of the idiom "relying on each other as gay".
"It's so open in this day and age? It's no wonder that in my world, gay marriages are allowed in the United States. This thought crossed Xue Yuan's mind.
"Well, Atlanta does have a guy named Jason? Statham's doctor. The gendarme at the head laughed after hearing the whisper, and glanced at Xue Yuan with a slightly strange look.
Xue Yuan, who has a B-level passive skill in the Beast Realm, is deaf and clear-sighted, and although the white-looking gendarme whispers softly, he still can't escape Xue Yuan's ears, and the gendarme said something about the crappy doctor Jason Statham, and also specifically mentioned his title of "Hand of Death".
The gendarmes led by him relaxed their vigilance slightly, and motioned to the gendarmes behind them to put down the guns aimed at Xue Yuan. "But how can you come here without an order from the army?"
"I just want to do my part for the Union Army." Xue Yuan squeezed out a flattering expression.
The gendarme at the head showed a look of disdain in his eyes, obviously disapproving of the soft bones that Xue Yuan showed, but he didn't slack off too much. "In that case, then you can come with us, you don't need to take care of the wounded soldiers here, there are more soldiers in the makeshift hospital who are worth treating."
Xue Yuan was full of suspicion, but he still followed behind the gendarmes. Perhaps because of his nickname as the "hand of death" of this crappy doctor, the gendarmes did not let him treat the lightly wounded, but why did they take him to a makeshift hospital? These gendarmes will never be spies for the South, and they want to make the Northern Union army non-combat attrition! There's definitely a conspiracy in this!
Xue Yuan's face remained unchanged, but in his heart, he was vigilant.
Following the gendarmes around the open space full of wounded soldiers, and turning around along the small land between the buildings, Xue Yuan finally came to a three-story building that looked very ordinary.
"You can't stop me! Do you know about freedom of the press? This doesn't involve military secrets, so what qualifications do you have to stop me! ”
Before he could enter the building, an arrogant voice came from inside.
"Do you know who I am? How dare you stop me?! ”
