Chapter 763: Remove Your Flesh First

“Come on, do have more meat.” The head chef attended to the mercenaries in a loud voice. He then asked, “All of you are Brazilians, aren’t you? Which state are you from? Well, it doesn’t matter which state you’re from. You guys probably like rump the most, right? Do eat up. These are beef from Guozheng’s Farm.”
“I’m from Rio,” the captain answered, but there was no telling if he was telling the truth. He was not really used to the situation. He then continued, “I work overseas so much that I’m not really used to how hospitable Brazilians are anymore.”
“This is the land where Samba originated. We’re always happy, haha…” The head chef laughed loudly, and everyone in the cafeteria chorused in agreement.
If the captain did not just walk into the hospital from the flood, he would think that he was in a family restaurant in Rio de Janeiro.
No matter how he looked at it, the cafeteria of the hospital did not seem like a place that was surrounded by floodwater and heavy rain.
His team members, too, were not used to the situation.
Truth be told, they would have fared better if they were to deliver supplies to Afghanistan. After all, they would be used to the situation there. The people here looked like they were having a public gathering.
Even with this thought in mind, the members of the team were gobbling down the food.
Freshness was very important when it came to Brazilian barbequed meat. Since the cattle had just been killed, the muscles had not stiffened up, and there was no need to tenderize the beef. The chef had placed the meat on the blazing flame before the cattle themselves even realized that they were dead. Even though the way of cooking the beef was extremely primitive, they tasted just right to the human taste buds that had evolved for hundreds of thousands of years.
Cows were the tastiest mammals on earth, and humans had spent millions of years domesticating them. At that very moment, their value was self-evident.
Among all the cuts of beef, rump was a favorite among Brazilians.
“I have decided. When I return home after this mission, I won’t be renting a yacht. I’ll just find a bar and stay there. I’ll eat rump every day and f*ck girls with large a*ses every day. And when I’m done f*cking, I’ll continue eating.” The only Portuguese in the team was Silva from Spain. He settled down in Brazil after studying in the United Kingdom. His favorite food was Brazilian barbequed meat, and he was chewing so hard right now that his mouth was full of juice. He felt that he could not go wrong with his decision.
The captain merely chuckled and looked mockingly at him. “I suggest that you stay in a barbeque restaurant instead.”
“Because the food in barbeque restaurants is better? There’s no need for that. I’ll get a barbeque restaurant to send food to the bar every day…” Silva muttered. “After this mission ends, I will definitely enjoy life—”
“What I meant is that you won’t get any girls even if you were to stay in a bar.” The captain swallowed the beef in his mouth and shook his head as he said, “Isn’t Doctor Ling having some beef too? Should we reserve some rump for him?”
“Doctor Ling prefers ribs.” The head chef flashed a respectful expression. “I’ve reserved the best ones for him.”
The captain could not help but pout and laugh out loud. “I thought that you guys would leave the best for the guests.”
“We didn’t expect there to be guests.” The head chef’s voice was neither soft nor loud, and he sounded a little glum.
The captain was stunned. He then said, a little pleased with himself, “But we did come, didn’t we?”
“You’re right. We should thank you.” The head chef raised the meat in his hand.
“We should be having some beer at a time like this.”
“Doctor Ling banned alcohol.”
“Alright, then.” The captain did not intend to challenge Doctor Ling’s authority right now. It was no small feat for him to be able to maintain order in a place he was not familiar with, and the mercenaries wanted to keep it that way too. They would just stay quiet for a few days before going home with pocketfuls of cash. That would definitely be the happiest thing in the world.
They finished the meal.
The captain glanced at his watch. He then rose and said, “Doctor Ling is probably done operating on the patient, isn’t he? I would like to meet him.”
“I’ll take you there.” The head chef put down the knife in his hand. He was rather full of enthusiasm as he led the way.
The captain gestured at the rest of the mercenaries with his eyes, and his team members immediately tightened their grips on their guns. They then got into formation and left the cafeteria.
They were actually guarding the cafeteria just now so that they could understand the situation. Of course, they did it because they were preparing for the worst.
Right now, the mercenaries were merely acting on their stress response.
First of all, this place was isolated from the outside world, after all, and it would bring no harm to be vigilant. Moreover, the mercenaries found the situation in the hospital a little strange too.
A few hundred people were stranded in a place where there was no contact with the outside world and supply was scarce. Moreover, more than a hundred of them were patients. It was quite surprising that not a single person died after a few days.
The captain made speculations as he walked to the main hall.
The moment he arrived at the main hall on the first floor, he saw that Ling Ran who was wearing a large white coat was bending down and examining a patient who was lying down.
Guozheng Charity Hospital had an excellent consultation system, and consultation, as well as simple treatments, could be carried out in private rooms. However, to uplift everyone’s spirits, Ling Ran decided to examine patients in the main hall.
Of course, this was more in tune with the habits of doctors in China. With a group of patients crowding around them, doctors would feel more in control and had a greater sense of accomplishment.
At the same time, the patients who were waiting for their turns would also feel more at ease.
While patients were waiting for their turns, the sight of a doctor made a world of difference.
“Doctor Ling,” the captain greeted him. He had seen Ling Ran in the operating theater too when they first arrived at the hospital. However, at that time, he was chased out.
Ling Ran turned to look at them. He then nodded at the mercenaries and said, “Thank you for bringing us the satellite phone. You guys came just at the right time.”
“There’s no need to thank us. It’s our job.” When the captain heard Selena’s translation, he immediately gave a polite reply. The purpose of his trip here was to protect this doctor, so he was naturally polite to Ling Ran.
“Have the roads been cleared yet? Can supplies be sent in?” This was Ling Ran’s greatest concern.
Guozheng Charity Hospital looked pretty big, to the point that it was almost as huge as Yun Hua Hospital. However, in reality, it only housed around thirty doctors. Moreover, half of those doctors were from auxiliary departments. Coupled with the fact that Brazilian working hours were short, the hospital treated fewer patients than the Department of Hepatobiliary and Pancreatic Surgery of Yun Hua Hospital in a year. Hence, the number of drugs they had in their storage was truly inadequate.
Truth be told, even if the hospital were to operate normally since more than a hundred patients who were wounded to varying degrees had been treated, it was time to replenish their supplies.
This was especially true when it came to bags of blood and drugs used to resuscitate patients. The hospital had very little of them left, and Ling Ran did not dare to finish them.
The captain could not help but flash a wan smile when he heard that. “With the weather now, the only way to assess this hospital is by using assault boats like what we did. But it’s too dangerous, and I don’t even suggest that you leave the hospital using this method. Unless there’s a landslide, it would be safer for you to stay in the hospital.”
“So, we can’t even evacuate those who are seriously wounded?” Ling Ran confirmed again.
Before the captain could say anything, Silva, the Portuguese who had studied in the United Kingdom said in English, “Even if a patient is only slightly wounded, after he is evacuated using an assault boat, he would become seriously wounded. Seriously wounded patients might become dead bodies if they were to be evacuated using assault boats. During our journey here, our boats overturned a few times.”
When Ling Ran heard that, he immediately sized Silva and the rest of the mercenaries up.
To be more exact, he performed a visual inspection.
“Can you pull your shirt up for me to take a look?” Ling Ran pointed at Silva’s waist.
“It’s just a minor injury.” Silva pulled up his shirt nonchalantly and revealed his bandage wound. There was a small stain on the bandage. He did not seem to be affected at all as he said, “I probably got scratched by a stone or a tree branch. It’s no big deal. Happens all the time.”
Ling Ran nodded. “If you are at a hospital with adequate supplies, it would indeed be no big deal.”
“Hm? What do you mean?” Silva was a little dumbfounded.
“Your wound is infected, but I don’t know what type of pathogen it is.” Ling Ran pointed at the stain which came from the wound and continued, “We don’t have a lot of antibiotics left, and we don’t have every single kind of antibiotics here.”
Silva’s heart skipped a bit. “Then… what do we do now?”
Ling Ran thought about the problem from a surgeon’s point of view for a moment. “Can you remove the bandage? If it’s possible, we’ll have to remove your flesh first.”
