Chapter 733: Turbulence in the North
From disinfection, surgery to suturing, it took less than two minutes in total.
Not only were the employees shocked, but even the doctors accompanying the team were dumbfounded.
"Is this the end?"
"What else?" Nini looked puzzled. "Isn't the only difficulty in this operation to remove the steel bar? Well, now that everything is fine, let's go back quickly. I still have to write a report."
After saying that, Nini left on her own.
"Is that all?" Rebecca asked in disbelief. "So simple?"
"That's no small feat," the doctor said with a wry smile. "She just drained the fluid and blood from the abdominal cavity, and she also sutured each layer of muscle individually. Even if I were busy in the operating room for an hour, I wouldn't be able to complete just that."
"T-So amazing? She must be a really great doctor, right?"
"No, she's not a legendary doctor, just an ordinary doctor."
Rebecca's eyes widened. "How powerful is that legendary doctor?"
"At least you have to know how to heal the fountain."
“???”
"Alright, let's go back quickly. It's a good thing to go back early. At least we can avoid Castell's syndrome. Vance, don't move around. I'll find you a bed. You just had surgery and need to rest."
Old Vance was still standing there blankly. After a while, he suddenly yelled, scaring the others.
"What's wrong?"
"What happened?"
"Father, are you okay?"
Old Vance looked at the people around him with horror: "Monster! There's a monster! A monster with six arms!"
He grabbed the doctor's sleeve and said, "Doctor, did you see that just now? There's a monster!"
The doctor was about to say something, but Rebecca spoke first: "Father, that's not a monster, that's a doctor! A very powerful, ordinary doctor! She's the one who cured you!"
The doctor accompanying the army looked at Rebecca in surprise. The Banshees had indeed participated in the war in the North, but they had not been to all battlefields, at least not to the small town where the expeditionary forces were building the railway.
In other words, these people have never seen the Banshee.
The doctor looked at the other employees and was a little surprised that they didn't look very frightened.
"Aren't you afraid of her?"
This question made people hesitate. Everyone pushed and shoved, and finally Rebecca stepped forward.
"Sir, we are a little scared."
"But since she's willing to help us, then... it's not that scary."
"But she is not human. She has six hands and a long tail, and..." The doctor turned his head to look at Nini. She was on duty. The armor she wore was heavy and hideous, and the muzzle of the gun hanging on her waist was black.
Rebecca shook her head.
"Are you afraid of her?"
"Of course I won't."
"Then we won't either." Rebecca's expression was still a little childish, but her tone was firm:
"She is more human than those noble gentlemen."
Old Vance was helped by his hired workers to get on the train and returned to the North again - now the railway to the North has a double track, and there is no need to wait for the incoming train.
The workers did not waste much time, they even had time to go home for dinner, but old Vance stayed in the expeditionary force's medical room. He was at risk of wound infection and had to stay in the hospital for a few days.
As the hired workers returned to the city, the story of old Vance gradually spread. The people in the city learned that he had been rescued, that there was an incredibly huge city, and that there was a six-armed miracle doctor in the distance.
These things were a little too absurd for the people in the North, and people were skeptical for a while, but one thing was certain.
——Old Vance was injured on the construction site. Those who liked road construction did not drive him away, but also provided him with free medical treatment.
Old Vans was in the medical room near the construction site, and the workers could see him when they passed by. Not only did he receive free treatment here, he could even get free meals from the expeditionary force.
It was visible to the naked eye that old Vance had gained a lot of weight and was no longer so skinny.
Even Rebecca, who came to visit him, felt much better.
When the salaries were settled, something even more surprising happened.
"Old Vance also has Leona?"
Yes, the expeditionary force also paid old Vance a salary, but it was far less than that of other employees on the construction site. According to these expeditionary forces, this was called "basic salary."
This amount of money is not much, it can only ensure that you will not starve to death and will not give people any bad thoughts.
But they did send the money.
This incident really caused a sensation in the small town. Leona was among those who came to work, and if they were injured they would receive free medical treatment and a basic salary. Even those who needed to support their families would not let their children go hungry.
This condition is not particularly generous, but it makes people feel at ease and they can work as hired workers without worrying about being separated from their families by an accident.
For a time, many people began to feel truly shaken.
Everyone originally regarded working for the expeditionary force as a odd job to make a little money.
But now.
"Sir, are you hiring anyone for other jobs?"
"I can do carpentry work. Are you looking for a carpenter?"
"I, I'm a cook!"
"Sir, I'm strong and can do any heavy work!"
"If I can do this for a long time, I can do it with less pay!"
A lot of people gathered in the expeditionary camp at once. Many of them were originally daily workers, but now they began to want to do some long-term work.
That would have been fine, but one day after work, a young man came over curiously.
"You mean, you're a city guard in the territory, and you want to know if we have any work for you?"
Hodge looked at the young man in front of him with surprise. He was the highest commander of the camp and was called over by his subordinates just after finishing dinner.
The expeditionary forces have never seen such a situation!
"Yes, we have about a hundred people here, and we have some equipment on hand. If you need anything in the future, you can contact us."
"City Guards?"
"right."
"regular army?"
“Absolutely formal.”
"A soldier on duty? Coming to see us?"
The young man nodded and smiled. "I'll contact him first. Maybe there'll be a chance for cooperation in the future. As long as I can make money, that's fine. Who has a grudge against Leo?"
"Then your Lord doesn't care?"
"I came here secretly. You wouldn't report us to the lord, would you?" the young man said frankly. "Besides, even if the lord knew, he wouldn't necessarily object."
"ah?"
"Didn't you fight with the Lord's men? We saw it all on the city wall. Maybe in a couple of days, the Lord will send someone to look for you."
"After all, he has no grudge against Leo."
