Master of Thermodynamics
Chapter 683: The army is good
Along the long rope ladder, Oberma and Trunk had just climbed onto the deck, and at first glance they saw a few pale, faceless humanoid creatures.
The two were shocked at once.
What is even more disturbing is that they held a white pipe and surrounded the first dozen refugees who boarded the deck.
The humanoid creature suddenly spoke:
"All raise their hands..."
"Stay where you are..."
The two realized that the other party was actually human, just wearing strange clothes covering their heads and faces.
"Chichi...chichi..."
Suddenly a light green mist sprayed out of several tubes, with a strong irritation, making people choked with tears and nose, and they didn't dare to open their eyes.
Several courageous refugees seemed to think it was poisonous gas, so they were so scared that they squatted on the ground holding their heads, and pleaded bitterly:
"Masters, please let me go..."
"Master, please don't kill me..."
The others, including Oberma and Trunk, also panicked at this time.
One of the white weird people screamed dumbfoundingly:
"No one wants to kill you, hurry up and stand up for me... We are going to spray you with'strong disinfection water'. This is the standard procedure for epidemic prevention in the disaster area."
"You have been in the epidemic area for several days, and your body carries a large number of germs and must be disinfected... This can not only reduce the probability of getting sick, but also effectively prevent the spread of the disease..."
These words mixed with a lot of professional vocabulary made these illiterate victims unclear, but they could barely understand it, and the weird in front of them was not malicious.
A group of people stood up honestly, silently enduring the poison of "poisonous gas".
When everyone was sprayed wet, the white monster stopped.
Afterwards, the refugees were rushed to a makeshift compartment with shower facilities, and the white weird taught the refugees how to use the facilities, ordering them to wash their bodies and hair carefully.
This time, the spray nozzle is no longer cold water, but warm water, and there is white soap on the side for everyone to take.
The temperature in the first snowy month is already quite low. Taking a hot bath at this time is really an extremely comfortable thing. Many people can't stop washing at all.
Until an impatient roar came from outside the compartment:
"Don't be so slow, the next group of people are still waiting for a bath... Come out and pick up new clothes, and then go to the dining area on the right deck to have lunch..."
Hearing the words "lunch", the refugees ran out swarming naked.
Five minutes later, Oberma, who changed into a thick suit, drank his first bite of hot bean and rice porridge.
He felt the delicate taste of soybean rice and the salty fragrance of salted fish on the tip of his tongue, and he couldn't help but burst into tears.
After spending two hellish days in Hilton Town, experiencing terrible floods, countless floating corpses, and seeing thrilling murders with his own eyes, he realized that this ordinary bowl of bean, rice and salted fish porridge in his hand is so. Is precious.
Thank you, the great speaker, for saving me in distress and for giving me food and clothes...
Oberma swallowed the food in her mouth and meditated devoutly in her heart.
...
After entering Hilton Town, Lieutenant Andras and Igos, who volunteered to participate in the rescue, realized how tragic the flood disaster was.
The town was full of floating corpses of different shapes and sizes, including old people, children, and adults. After being soaked in water for 2 days, the corpses were all swollen and enlarged, and they looked very disgusting.
In some places, the corpses are so densely packed that they can block the streets. Just one glance at this terrible scene is enough to make people have a nightmare for a month.
Had it not been for Igos to be a mercenary for decades, he would have been scared to death by just witnessing those shocking scenes.
"Gosh." Igos sighed, "Too many people die here..."
Lieutenant Andras glanced at his pale companion and whispered what he knew:
"There are several reasons why the casualties are so heavy."
"When the storm landed, it happened to hit a super high tide, which caused the movement to be extremely fast... and it was early in the morning. The residents in the town were all sleeping. When they noticed the flood, the flood would not be too far away from the city wall. There is no time for people to climb up to avoid the flood."
"You make sense." Igos nodded his head gravely, and asked again, "Then, Mr. Lieutenant, how many survivors do you think there will be in the town?"
"It shouldn't be too much." Lieutenant Andras replied. "The civilians are not prepared for floods. I estimate that more than half of the drowning people are very likely."
"Among those who survived by fluke, some of them could not survive the cold weather, and some died of other reasons... I personally guess that less than 20% of the people who can survive now are probably less than 20%."
After hesitating for a moment, the lieutenant added another sentence in a low voice:
"Even less..."
Igos was silent for a while, and suddenly said with emotion:
"It's better for us to lead the sea..."
"Of course." Lieutenant Andras said with a face of approval, "Every time a storm strikes, the Government Affairs Department will issue an early warning on the radio, and broadcast the precautions over and over again."
"Civil servants will repeatedly patrol villages and towns, go from house to house to inform everyone that they have enough food and water, and investigate various potential hazards by the way... The Department of State Affairs will also organize a large number of people to clear drains.
"The army will also be mobilized... I remember that there was a major storm last year when the army, navy, and air force were all dispatched to urgently build a breakwater according to the lord's request."
"I saw Lord Moose, Chief of the Army, Lord Gollum, Chief of the Air Force, Lord Elon, Chief of the Navy, all went to work in person... Hey, I only slept for less than 4 hours in those few days. It was really exhausting. It's..."
"Your army is good." Iggos was full of admiration, and then he seemed to think of something, with a smile on his face, "My youngest son Benjamin told me that he likes storms because the school Will be on holiday..."
Lieutenant Andras couldn't help but smile.
At this moment, a sailor holding a telescope suddenly yelled:
"Ensign Fabian, there are four survivors on the roof over there..."
Lieutenant Fabian, who led the rescue team, turned his head and glanced for a few moments, and immediately raised the loudspeaker and shouted:
"We are sailors of the Southern Fleet, and we are ordered to come to rescue..."
Several survivors staggered to their feet, waved their hands vigorously, and shouted "Help" hoarsely.
The magic boat drove over quickly, received the refugees smoothly, and then proceeded to the next location.
...
When the rescue team came to a street not far from the castle, they were in charge of observing the surrounding sailors and reported a message:
"Second Lieutenant Fabian, there seems to be someone spying on us at the top of the castle... I just observed the reflection of the telescope lens..."
Lieutenant Fabian stared at the towering castle and replied disdainfully:
"A group of dregs who are greedy for life and fear of death, and do not care about the life and death of the people... We are the people of the sea tide. If they dare to provoke us casually, the lord will definitely exile them to Odin Island and do hard labor until death."
"Hmph, don't care about them, we will continue to search and rescue refugees..."
The second lieutenant's tone was full of pride, and he didn't put the nobility in his eyes.
Three years ago, this gentleman never dreamed that one day in the future, he would actually look down on a nobleman with this kind of overlooking attitude.
