The operation on Du Yuqi's side was progressing very slowly, which caused the people in the temple to become anxiously waiting. Without caring about the possibility of exposing their identities, they directly arranged for someone to come forward and question them. Du Yuqi whispered a few words to him, and it seemed that he hit the point, and finally calmed them down.

Finally, after another hour of work, Du Yuqi finally completed Xi's surgery. It turned out that the triangular black fragment that pierced into Xi's body was very vicious. It was actually the sharp front claw of a snow mandrill king!

After the claws dug into the human body, they were as hard and fragile as glass. If Du Yuqi wanted to pull it out, he had to clamp it hard first, right? As a result, as soon as he clamped it, the thing broke into a large number of fragments!

In the end, he could only use the most clumsy method, which was to use tweezers to probe the broken things into the wound and pick them out piece by piece. And he couldn't use too much force, otherwise it would break into pieces again, so there was a whole plate, with at least one or two hundred pieces of fragments densely packed together!

And this thing cannot be left behind, because it is quite toxic. Even if a piece as big as a fingernail is left behind, it will cause endless troubles. Firstly, the cut cannot be healed. Even if it is healed forcibly with the help of medicine or magic, the part will be swollen and ulcerated for a long time, and sequelae such as carbuncle will always appear. It is also possible that it will eventually turn into gas gangrene.

Not only that, because Xi was completely awake during the operation, she was able to cooperate and tell Du Yuqi how she felt. As a result, Du Yuqi even removed a bullet from her spine!

This was clearly an old wound, because a small half of the bullet was wrapped in the growing bone matrix, making Du Yuqi feel like he was not a surgeon but a dentist when he was treating it.

As for the wound on Xi's back, although it looked scary, it was an absolute external injury. It could be cured by simply cutting off the dead flesh, cleaning the wound, disinfecting it, and suturing it. However, Du Yuqi looked at her smooth and white naked back with great regret, saying that she would inevitably leave a centipede-like scar more than a foot long in the future, which would probably be difficult to remove.

However, at this time, she told Du Yuqi that Xi's "Wind Fist Style" martial arts had reached the pinnacle. Although she was only able to reach the level of a female fighter's job transfer/Qigong master close to the fourth level due to her own experience and combat experience, her amazing talent enabled her to comprehend part of the mystery of awakening in advance: the mind's intention! !

At the same time, she has cultivated a fighter's universal skill, "Bones of Steel", to an extraordinary level, a height that is difficult for ordinary people to reach, and has even undergone some kind of mutation.

Therefore, no matter how seriously injured Xi is, her recovery speed is much faster than that of ordinary people. At the same time, her strong recovery ability also means that she will not be left with scars.

It was then that Du Yuqi suddenly realized that according to Xi's philosophy, "the body is a prison of the will" and "pain is only a tool to temper the will", so she would definitely be injured a lot. But her skin was white, tender and crystal clear, just like the girls on Earth who put on lip gloss without even a scar. So that's how it was.

…

After settling his friends here, Du Yuqi rubbed his face with ice and snow, and then went to busy himself with the affairs of the temple. Relying on the prestige he had built up from diagnosing patients before, and with the intentional or unintentional cooperation of the temple, he easily mobilized more than a thousand refugees to move.

Under the organization and leadership of Du Yuqi, a group of people first moved the elderly, the weak, the sick and the disabled into a warehouse that could shelter them from wind and rain, and then divided the more than a thousand people into ten groups. They elected a temporary team leader for each group, and the rest of the rations, tents and other supplies would only be given to the group leader and then distributed by themselves.

This move is very powerful. If there are troublemakers who disobey this grouping, then even the most basic needs: food and accommodation cannot be guaranteed. What, you don’t even care about this? Haha, needless to say, you must be a treacherous person with ulterior motives and will be directly put on the blacklist of the temple.

Then the real purpose is revealed!

Du Yuqi began to divide the activity areas for each group, strictly prohibiting any private activities, even going to the warehouse to visit family members.

Such behavior naturally aroused a backlash from the majority of the public. Du Yuqi began to say righteously that the temple had already told him that there were definitely many barbarian spies who had infiltrated here and wanted to capture the temple with internal and external cooperation!

Before he could finish his words, someone rushed out and attacked Du Yuqi, who then "was seriously injured and unconscious" and left the scene. Needless to say, the people who did this were the ascetics who were absolutely loyal to the church. While they were injuring people, they started to create chaos, set fires everywhere, and released smoke while shouting slogans related to the Bantu people. From the outside, the Minsk church was ablaze with flames and black smoke, and it really looked like it was experiencing a catastrophe.

After the momentum was built, the high-ranking officials of the Minsk Cathedral, who had been prepared for a long time, could not wait to take action and released a large number of extremely vicious traps around! What kind of death cloud trap, lightning trap, plague trap, fire trap, thick fog trap...

Unfortunately, the trap was not even disguised, making it dark and gloomy, which was intimidating. Some people even felt that it was not threatening enough, so they simply got some corpses from the cemetery and threw them in front of the trap, making the originally sacred Minsk Cathedral look like a ghost town.

At the same time, all channels of communication with the outside world were activated in the Minsk Cathedral, and thirty or forty magic notices were sent out in one breath. Even the magic loudspeakers that were usually used for mass, disaster relief, and maintaining order in the cathedral were taken out, and they all spoke out to the outside world at the loudest volume in a loop mode: they were filled with righteous indignation and accused the Bantu heretics of being shameless and taking advantage of the cathedral's compassion to infiltrate spies among the refugees and release weapons of mass destruction!

The cathedral was filled with casualties and blood, and the poison was endless. Now the area around the Minsk Cathedral has become a deadly place. Two archbishops have been seriously injured in the attempt to clean up the poison. A large number of believers have sacrificed themselves for the holy light. I hope that all citizens will cherish their lives and never be deceived or they will bear the consequences.

After this, the top leaders of the Minsk Cathedral breathed a sigh of relief and sat down to drink coffee. The traps set up outside played a protective role invisibly. Although it prevented the people inside from getting out in the short term, it would be much more difficult for the people outside to force their way in. The cathedral also got a rare chance to catch its breath.

…

As the saying goes, when some are happy, some are sad. The Minsk Cathedral relaxed and got a chance to catch its breath, but the Bantu people outside were really dumbfounded.

In fact, they were indeed trying to drive out the refugees, but their efficiency and progress were much slower than Du Yuqi had imagined. It was expected that it would take at least 24 hours to successfully drive the first batch of refugees into the church.

The reason why it is so slow is because there are different voices within the Bantu tribe.

After all, the Bantu people have taken root in Shatli for so many years. It is normal for some people to be dissatisfied with the authorities, but the government is the government, and the citizens of Shatli are also neighbors to the many Bantu people who have lived here for a long time.

There is a saying that a distant relative is not as good as a close neighbor. Some Bantu people think that the imperial people are very hateful, but some Bantu people still have many friends here. It is okay to stand up and resist the empire, but you are attacking old neighbors like this, turning them into refugees with broken families and families and attacking the Minsk Cathedral. Damn, what the hell is this? If you really do it, you will be poked in the spine and scolded for giving birth to sons without assholes for the rest of your life.

The Bantu people were originally very loose internally, so it was a big problem for them to quell the internal opposition voices. This was unlike the Minsk Cathedral, where everyone was united and shared the same hatred of the enemy. Everyone was mobilized as soon as the archbishop gave the order.

As a result, the Minsk Cathedral took the initiative, which was like a bolt from the blue to the group of people who were plotting. They were all in a state of panic, and the originally intensive plan became completely useless. The clan also held an emergency meeting and directly excluded the "external factors", specifically, Xiong Rishou and others.

At this clan meeting, Buwant, who usually sat at the top like a decoration, opened his eyes, which was unusual for him. He took the initiative in the meeting and said that no matter how you talk, his clan will withdraw from this ice and snow blockade within two days and will no longer waste energy on such "meaningless" things.

After all, after this falling out with the Empire, the Bantu people will definitely retreat to the Stone Snow Region, and there is no way they will come back in the short term. That means that within a year or even several years, materials will be in short supply, so they have to hurry up and move back some of the necessities of life that can be moved away - not to mention anything else, the price of salt alone can be so high at a critical moment that it can make people stare.

However, just as the Bantu clan meeting was nearing its end, an uninvited guest suddenly broke into the venue!

This person was wearing oversized pants, his face was thickly smeared with oil paint, his lips were exaggeratedly raised with bright lipstick, his eyes were shining with a strange and lively light, and he was wearing a brand new round hat on his head.

If Du Yuqi was present at this time, he would probably jump up and do it without saying a word.

This person is none other than the clown Moriarty!

The reason why he was able to break into the sacred clan meeting of the Bantu tribe was certainly not because of his personal strength, but because he was holding something in his raised palm, something that was regarded as a sacred object by the Bantu people:

A tattered hat.

What's more, the hat was actually in the shape of rabbit ears, and there were a few dark stains on it, which were actually marks of dried blood.

This sacred object is called "Mintai's Hat".

As mentioned before, the Bantu people are divided into several clans based on different totem worships. One of the large clans believes in the snow rabbit. Mintai was the hero of this tribe hundreds of years ago and led the entire tribe through extremely difficult times. Therefore, the things she left behind were recognized and worshiped by the entire Bantu people.

The clown Moriarty walked in proudly, then placed his right hand on his heart and bowed deeply:

"I am here at the will of my master to return this sacred object to the Bantu people. I have a few words to say to you all. Regardless of whether you can listen to me or not, this sacred object will be returned to them, and I will also give them 5,000 sets of crystal heaters as a gift."

The Bantu people have lived in the snowy areas for a long time and have very strong resistance to cold, which can be said to be several times that of ordinary people.

However, this definitely does not mean that they do not need a series of cold-resistant substances. On the contrary, these things have long been in high demand among the Bantu people, such as spirits and furs.

This time, many of the senior executives present have tried out the 5,000 sets of crystal heaters proposed by the Clown Moriarty. To sum it up simply in eight words, they are convenient, lightweight, clean and durable.

This thing is like a raincoat. When fully unfolded, it can be used as an electric blanket for making the bed. When folded, it can be stuffed into boots to warm up sweat. When you sit down, you can fold it up. It is warmer than a wolfskin mattress. When not in use, you can pick it up with one finger. At the same time, it only costs one small colorless crystal every month, so it can be said to be quite practical.

Therefore, after hearing what the clown Moriarty said, many of the senior executives present had their eyes lit up, and then nodded slightly. Buvant frowned, but he was a man of deep thoughts, so he did not come out to stop him, and he also wanted to hear what the man in front of him wanted to say.

The clown then said:

"My master said that although our cooperation has suffered some setbacks this time, he hopes that the brave warriors of the Bantu tribe can hold out for another two days. There is no need to take the initiative to attack, just maintain the status quo and surround them. We will provide twice as much material assistance as before. At the same time, if there is an unexpected event such as the main force of the imperial army coming, they will be allowed to withdraw first."

When the Bantu people heard the words "twice as much material assistance as before", their eyes lit up. You know, the materials provided by this mysterious organization before were already a very considerable number. If they could hold on for two more days, they could get twice as much. This really seemed like pie in the sky!
