Chapter XII
Bai Jie opened the gap in the curtains of the room and let the sunlight come in a little bit.
She spit out the circles under her eyes and said, "This is a villa area in the suburbs, and there are several houses around us that are full of our people, it is unlikely that outsiders will find here, so you can raise it here for a few days!" β
Tom smelled the smoke that Bai Jie kept exhaling, and then he remembered that he hadn't been addicted to smoking in a long time.
As the saying goes, when you are hungry and smoke when you are full of rock candy, Tom is greedy and bold. With difficulty, he stretched out the only moving part of his body, trying to find Bai Jie to ask for a cigarette to smoke.
Unexpectedly, Bai Jie glared at him and said angrily: "Don't get an inch!" Where are there patients who still smoke and don't want to live? β
Tom was so frightened that he quickly shrunk his neck and didn't dare to speak.
Bai Jie took another puff of her cigarette and said to Tom, "By the way, I left in a hurry yesterday and didn't have time to bring you a medical team." But we have a team doctor in our team, and I've got a nurse for you today, so you'll be there for a few days. β
As he spoke, Bai Jie shouted outside the door, "Come in!" β
When Tom saw the female nurse coming in, he rolled his eyes and almost passed out.
Bai Jie pulled the female nurse and introduced Tom, "This is Miss Annie, a nurse in the emergency department of the First Hospital in Oaklandis. Let her take care of you for the rest of the day. Okay, let's get to know each other first. After speaking, Bai Jie walked out of the room with a cigarette in his mouth.
Seeing that Bai Jie was gone, Anne walked over to the bedside affectionately, and said with a smile: "Fat brother, let's get to know each other." β
Tom sighed, looked at the beautiful nurse in front of him sadly, and asked, "Why are you here too?" β
"I'll take care of you!" Anne rolled her big pretty eyes.
"These people are all sent by the puppet government military commission, how can they let you get in?" Tom asked again.
"Hehe, Bai Jie is my distant cousin! They just happened to need a nurse here, and they were all their own people, so they invited me over! β
Tom felt a little swollen in his head, it turned out to be like this, no wonder these two female models are a bit similar!
Anne put her mouth to Tom's ear and whispered, "The team asked me to get you out at the right time, but I never found a chance to do it." After a few days, your injuries are a little better, and the two of us will find a way to escape together. β
Finally hearing a human word, Tom quickly nodded in agreement.
At this time, the smoke from Bai Jie's breath in the room just now had not completely dissipated, Tom sniffed, thinking that he was familiar with this female demon anyway, and besides, everyone was their own people, so they should help each other!
So Tom cheekily raised his right hand again, stretched out two fingers to make a gesture of holding a cigarette, and asked Anne with a smirk: "Beauty, do you have a cigarette?" Give one? β
Anne gave him a blank look and said angrily: "The old lady doesn't smoke, that thing stinks to death!" β
Tom was silent for two seconds before continuing, "I see your cousin has it, or γγγγγγ β
"I don't dare go! Go yourself! With that, Anne didn't bother to pay any more attention to the dead fat man, and went out to go back to her bedroom.
At dinner, Anne brought Tom a three-piece set of porridge with greens and potatoes.
Tom looked at the thin soup without a little oil and water in the bowl, only felt that there was sour water in his stomach, and he couldn't help but secretly complain, when will buddy get out of the sea of suffering and return to normal society!
After dinner, the team doctor from the Intelligence Bureau's operation team came over to check on Tom's injuries. This is a middle-aged man in his forties, with dark skin and a somewhat old face.
Tom caught a glimpse of the other party's left index finger and middle finger slightly yellowing, and thought that there was a play, so he affectionately set up someone to get close. After a few polite words, Tom got to know the team doctor named Wang Dezhong.
Wang Dezhong was a high-achieving student who graduated from the Federal Mechanized Army Medical University in Saitan, and because of his excellent grades in various subjects when he graduated, especially his physical fitness, he was taken by the Intelligence Bureau of the Military Investigation Commission. The young man could not withstand the propaganda and propaganda of the Personnel Bureau of the Military Investigation Commission, and finally did not choose to stay at his alma mater to realize his dream of becoming a doctor, but was recruited into the Second Operations Section of the Intelligence Bureau, and after various special training, he became a team doctor.
Having gotten acquainted with Doctor Wang, Tom naturally became cheeky and stared at someone's trouser pocket and asked for a cigarette to smoke.
Doctor Wang was stunned at first, he had never seen a patient who was injured like this and still wanted to smoke. If this is in a regular hospital, it will certainly not be allowed. But looking at Tom's eager eyes, and thinking about it, it seems that Section Chief Bai Jie did not mention the order not to give this fat man a cigarette. So the good old man took out a cigarette and lit it for Tom with a lighter.
Finally got his wish, Tom enjoyed the smoke while gossiping with the royal team doctor for a long time. When Doctor Wang was leaving, Tom pretended to be pitiful again, and asked Doctor Wang to leave him most of the pack of cigarettes and lighters.
That night, Tom finally had enough of his addiction to smoking.
But the next morning, the good days came to an end. When Anne came in to bring breakfast and medicine to Tom, she almost choked on the smell of smoke in the room. Anne searched for a long time in a huff, and finally found a cigarette case and a lighter in the sheets under Tom's buttocks.
Seeing that the female demon was about to confiscate her only bit of fun, Tom's eyes rolled and he suddenly asked, "Do you know where we usually get our meals?" β
Anne replied angrily: "Do you still need to ask about this?" The kitchen does it, and they have their own chef. β
"Do you know when they're going to go out and buy food and use these things?" Tom asked again.
"I don't know." Anne rolled her eyes and thought for a moment, "But Doctor Wang said that there are still a few medicines to treat your injuries, and he wants me to go into the city with him in the afternoon to buy them." β
"Then will you help me buy something and come back?" Tom pleaded with a grin.
"Yes! But what about the money? Anne asked with a smile as she spread out her palms.
"I have a private account, there should be tens of thousands of dollars in it, you go and help me take it out in the afternoon, it's enough to spend for a while." Tom replied.
Tens of thousands? I didn't expect this fat man to be so rich, Anne's salary as a nurse in the hospital was only three or four thousand yuan a month.
So she immediately asked Tom where the money was coming from? Tom quickly explained that his father had saved it for him when he used to open a mecha repair shop.
Anne was relieved and asked, "So what do you want to buy?" β
"Buy me something good, a few packs of cigarettes, and a few bottles of wineγγγγγγ" Thinking of the delicious food and drink, Tom's harath is about to come down.
"No! Patients are not allowed to smoke or drink! As a nurse who worked in a major hospital, Anne's reaction to tobacco and alcohol was almost a reflex.
Tom had no choice but to flatter: "Don't let your hard work be in vain, in addition to the money for cigarettes and alcohol, you can deduct a little money from my money for running expenses." β
Hearing that there was money to be earned, Anne immediately changed her attitude, she smiled and put her face in front of Tom, and asked delicately, "Fat brother, then how much should you pay for the run-off?" β
"A hundred?" Tom rolled his eyes.
"Cut!" Anne rolled her eyelids.
"Two hundred?" Tom was ruthless.
βγγγγγγβ
"Five hundred, then! Do you want to do it? Tom gritted his teeth.
"A thousand! Love to do it! With that, Anne got up and slammed the door without looking back, and left.

In front of a huge floor-to-ceiling window, an elderly man stood with his hands in his hands. The sunset was like blood, and the scenery outside the window seemed to be dyed a blood-red. The old man's deep gaze seemed to have traveled tens of thousands of light years of time and space, landing on that distant planet.
"How's Saori doing now?" After a long time, the old man turned around and asked slowly, without the slightest expression on his calm face.
The old man standing in front of the window was none other than the Emperor of the Vilia Empire, Tokugawa Masao III. For more than 30 years since his accession to the throne, as the iron-fisted ruler of the Vilia Empire, Tokugawa Masao III has always been a god-like presence in the country.
An old man who looked like a butler behind him bowed down and replied, "Back to Your Majesty, His Highness Saori has returned to the assault fleet. Her whereabouts have not yet been discovered by the Setan Federation, but the Zero Mech may have been exposed. β
Sixty-six years old Takenaka Hanbei, the head of the Interior who had been following the old emperor before he ascended the throne, was trusted by Tokugawa Masao III, although he had never held an official position in the cabinet.
Takenaka Hanbei bowed down and continued: "His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is ready to go to the Bass Star of the Saitan Federation next week, so as to negotiate in order to provoke civil strife in the Saitan Federation, as well as to test Yurikin's secrets. β
"Where is Takeda's fleet?" Tokugawa Masao III was still in a slow voice.
"Returning to Your Majesty, the Second Mixed Fleet of the Royal Praetorian Guard led by Vice Admiral Takeda has arrived near the Ptolemaic Cluster of Scorpio at noon today, ready to start military exercises in the public star field near Scorpio next week, and is ready for battle at any time."
"Call Saori back."
Tokugawa Masao III turned back, and the sunset outside the window became redder.
