Chapter 178 New Direction (I wish everyone a happy Year of the Ox)
After interrogating the fake "priest" Guo Zheng, Jiang Baimian drove the car, took Shang Jianyao, and returned to the central square through the North Bridge.
At a glance, what caught her eye was a touch of white.
In addition to the unmelted snow, there are white sheets hanging from different windows, chalk marks smeared on the surface of the walls, and plain white strips of cloth tied high above the doors.
In Wild Grass City, this means that the corresponding family has a relative who has died.
——Although the supplies in Wild Grass City are more sufficient than most of the gathering points of wilderness wanderers, except for the nobles, ordinary people are still reluctant to make mourning clothes from their precious fabrics and tie them into white flags, so they can only use various alternative methods, so there are similar customs.
The cold and biting wind blew, and a large amount of white fluttered, filling the city.
Jiang Baimian wanted to sigh a few words, but after opening his mouth, he couldn't say anything.
She was silent for a while, and said to Shang Jianyao in the passenger seat:
"Let's take a walk around the city."
"Okay." Shang Jianyao looked outside and did not object.
Jiang Baimian immediately got behind the wheel and let the military green bulletproof off-road turn into West Street.
On the way, many people were busy, some were clearing snow on the roadside, some were repairing the damaged ground, and some were repairing the shops on both sides.
——This is the relief plan implemented by the Weed City Hall and the Hunters' Guild: everyone can receive the most basic supplies, but if you want to get more and eat a little more, you must exchange labor for it.
This effectively prevents people who do not lack food from occupying a large number of resources and takes the opportunity to complete the reconstruction after the riots.
Those busy people breathed out a mouthful of white gas, which looked like no difference, but naturally formed two distinct groups.
Jiang Baimian had no surprise about this, which was the inevitable sequelae of the riot:
How could the original inhabitants of Wild Grass City easily accept foreign wilderness wanderers?
Although those who caused the deaths of their relatives and friends have either been executed or replaced as slaves in various places, in their eyes, it is the group of outsiders who caused all this.
Therefore, when they looked at the hard-working wilderness wanderers, there was obvious rejection and less obvious hatred in their eyes.
"This is not something that can be solved in a short period of time, the blood stains on the road can be washed away quickly, but the bruises in the heart are not so easy to dissolve." Jiang Baimian withdrew his gaze and sighed.
"It would be nice if we all became brothers and sisters." Shang Jianyao sighed.
Jiang Baimian glanced at him:
"Does your ideal of saving all mankind be realized by turning everyone into brothers and sisters?"
"One direction." Shang Jianyao said that he really thought about it.
"But Brother Zhen will also settle accounts clearly." Jiang Baimian pointed out the biggest problem.
Shang Jianyao's attention had already shifted, and he looked out the window and said:
"It's not much damage here."
He was referring to the area of bars, nightclubs, including Wolf Alley.
"The bosses here have thugs, weapons, and are familiar with the terrain, so it is not a problem to block the unorganized wilderness wanderers for a while." Jiang Baimian said "Hmm", "Moreover, this is not the area that will be impacted immediately, they have enough time to gather their hands and make preliminary preparations."
Speaking of this, Jiang Baimian said meaningfully:
"West Street is a mixture of fish and dragons, I don't know how many sects and how many awakened people are still hidden."
"For example, the Long Night Order can influence other people's hearts." Shang Jianyao still remembered the information provided by Meng Xia's husband Zhang Lei.
His friend met the Awakening of the Long Night Order in the Wild Grass City bar.
"Yes." Jiang Baimian suddenly smiled and said, "You haven't had a chance to join the sect here and taste their communion, speaking of which, your 'Rootless' brother left two days early, otherwise, you might see how the awakened people of the 'Sacred Eye' sect deal with a large number of wilderness wanderers."
Shang Jianyao watched the vehicle slowly turn around and said with great certainty:
"He sensed that those wilderness wanderers might cause a big commotion, so he left early."
"When have you seen him again?" Jiang Baimian was a little surprised.
In fact, she also believes that with the knowledge of "rootless people", Feilin will definitely be able to see the hidden dangers of wilderness wanderers.
"Brothers are of the same heart." Shang Jianyao looked like I didn't understand his tone yet.
Jiang Baimian laughed "hehe", and said as he drove the bulletproof off-road to East Street:
"I'll take you somewhere."
Shang Jianyao didn't ask where it was, he just touched his stomach and made a hint.
Entering East Street, when I was about to reach the bottom, bulletproof off-road stopped, next to a building with its own parking lot and courtyard.
On this building, there are two lines of text written in Huitu and Honghe respectively:
"Wild Grass City Second Hospital"
After parking the car, Jiang Baimian took Shang Jianyao and walked in.
A series of painful moans came from all directions, making people feel uncomfortable all over their bodies.
The entire hall was filled with hospital beds and floor bunks, on which lay a person who was injured in the riot.
They only did simple bandaging, took regular medicine, and if they were lucky, they could take turns to have surgery, and if they were unlucky, they could only see if they could survive.
What is in short supply is not only supplies, but also doctors.
Many people can't bear the physical pain and lie there, or curl up in a ball, moaning low, or rolling around and shouting.
From time to time, someone loses their voice and is carried away amidst the cries of their relatives.
Shang Jianyao looked at this scene and did not speak for a long time.
"There are too many injured people......" Jiang Baimian withdrew his gaze and glanced at Shang Jianyao beside him, "It's like hell."
In her sigh, she added:
"Although the angels are busy saving people, there are too few of them, and they may not be able to save them.
"Let's go, let's go upstairs and take a look."
When they went up to the second, third, and fourth floors, they saw all the injured. The original patients, but those who were not serious, were sent home.
It wasn't until the fifth floor that Jiang Baimian discovered some seriously ill people.
They were covered with white sheets, lying on hospital beds in their rooms or corridors, most of them unconscious, and the thin tubes connected to the infusion needles in their hands seemed to be their last lifeline.
"These are all from some family backgrounds, but when they get sick, they can only get this level of treatment." Jiang Baimian's eyes slowly swept over, "This is still in Wild Grass City, if it is a wilderness wanderer settlement outside, it is good like Shuiwei Town, at least there are doctors, who can dispense medicine, and occasionally there are injections that can be given, ordinary, according to the earthwork, eat some casually, whether you live or die depends on fate, or worse, you don't even have earthworks......"
Shang Jianyao did not respond, looking at the patients covered with white sheets, not knowing what he was thinking.
Jiang Baimian turned and said:
"Compared with them, the company's internal hospitals are much better, not only with enough doctors and nurses, but also with enough medicines, equipment and complete medical heritage, and even many laboratories doing research in related fields.
"If you get a serious illness, in Weeds City, in the Wilderness Wanderer Settlement, you will die nine times out of ten, but within the company, there is an eight or ninety percent chance of surviving."
As she spoke, her expression gradually became serious:
"Disease is terrible, a terrifying enemy that everyone needs to face, but we are by no means alone in our battles.
"In this matter, as long as we can help each other and form a strong whole, the disease is not invincible.
"A strong whole can mobilize enough resources to produce enough drugs and equipment, and at the same time, it can also organize schools and various laboratories to complete the inheritance of knowledge, the cultivation of talents and the exploration of cutting-edge fields, just like a company.
"I think if you want to overcome your inner fear of disease, you may have to start from this aspect. Purely relying on perseverance and realistic illness and cure, I don't think it's so reliable."
After the main mission was over and the matter was over, Jiang Baimian's focus turned back to helping Shang Jianyao challenge the "island", so he specially took him to the hospital in Wild Grass City to take a look, hoping to find some inspiration through comparison with the internal hospital of "Pangu Biology".
After all, when it comes to human beings defeating diseases, the words that come to mind are "hospital", "doctor" and "drug".
Shang Jianyao listened carefully, slowly looked around and said:
"Makes sense."
After saying that, he clenched his right fist with a look of annoyance on his face and slapped his left palm:
"My thinking is still not broad enough!"
Jiang Baimian looked at him suspiciously, always wondering if this guy had turned his intentions in a strange direction.
Back on the second floor of the "Ah Fu Gun Shop", Shang Jianyao immediately leaned on the bed, pinched his temples on both sides, and quickly fell asleep.
…………
Next to the rocky island, Shang Jianyao's figure appeared in the illusory sea of flowing shimmering light.
He was not in a hurry to challenge the island, he looked down at himself in the illusory water, his eyes gradually darkened:
"I am a 'Pangea' person;
"The main body of 'Pangu creatures' is people;
"So ......"
After a pause, Shang Jianyao said in a deep voice:
"I am equal to 'Pangu Creature'."
After coming to a conclusion, he quickly climbed up to the island.
Almost at the same time, figures grew out of the cracks in the rocks.
They were draped in white sheets, and their faces and bodies were completely hidden in the shadows.
Shang Jianyao looked at them, not panicked at all, and said with a smile:
"There are so many of you, and so do I.
"Because I am a 'Pangu creature'."
As soon as he finished speaking, his body suddenly became illusory, and countless figures were distinguished.
Some of the figures were wonderfully combined to form a building with the word "hospital" written on it.
The other Shang Jianyao either put on a white coat or carried a stretcher, rushed into the crowd wearing white sheets, pressed them down one by one, put them on a stretcher, tied them back to the hospital, and injected them with medicine separately.
The "hospital" suddenly became busy and lively.
During this process, the figures wearing white sheets and symbolizing illness seemed to be a little stunned.
Gradually, Shang Jianyao's "doctors" were also infected and became seriously ill.
He constantly differentiated, constantly creating new "doctors", new "drugs", and new "wards" to fill the lost power.
After a long period of fierce fighting, Shang Jianyao was exhausted and still lost.
Shout...... He woke up and gasped.
"How is it?" Jiang Baimian, who was sitting on the square bench, asked with concern.
Shang Jianyao's eyes lit up slightly and said
"I lost.
"But the direction seems to be okay, and it is worth exploring further."
