The sun never sets in America

Chapter 324: Immigration Incident

On Sansheng Island, wooden houses are layered on top of each other, just like a "village".

It's just that this so-called village is just a "castle in the air" and cannot withstand even a little bit of wind and rain.

The entire Sansheng Island is like a huge open-air prison, with the smell of "decay" everywhere.

Except for those who were better protected, most people fell ill.

There were a total of 405 people on board. Except for 51 able-bodied people, the rest were all sick.

No, some of them are dead! !

Wang Meng feels that his brain is running out of energy recently, which may be related to his "grey head".

The news that comes every day is either "sick" or "dead".

Living in a huge "ward" every day is a huge torture for anyone, especially if he is a doctor himself, it is even more terrifying! !

The soot rising outside meant that someone had died again. Wang Meng looked at it for a long time and exclaimed: "How long will it take for this to end!!"

"boom!!"

The wooden door was pushed open, and a man wearing smoked black rubber clothes and a simple mask walked in. The smell of medicine was everywhere on the man's face. This was to protect himself from infection.

"Deputy Wang, another person died just now!!"

"This is not the way to go, let's run away quickly, otherwise we will become desperate people!!"

The fourth person in the team, Luo Xiaojia, took off his "airtight" mask. His whole face was covered red, and he looked extremely difficult.

Wang Meng raised his head, took a look, lit a cigarette, took a long puff, and replied in an "ugly" tone:

"Let's go, where are we going? To Penglai?"

"Or go back to Hanzhou??"

Wang Meng's whole person was filled with an aura of "loneliness". Now, they were really feeling helpless from the sky and the earth! !

I dare not go wherever I want to go, because the entire Pacific Ocean is the territory of the Han Empire. If I go there, it will be harmful to people. If found out, not only will their heads be lost, but their family members will not be much better! !

The face of Luo Xiaojia opposite him was "extremely ugly". Finally, he picked up a cigarette on the table, reached out and pulled out the cigarette from Wang Meng's mouth, put the cigarette in his mouth, and the fireworks took off. When he returned the cigarette, his mouth was already full of smoke. A lot of smoke accumulated.

"Hoo ho!!" When the smoke was exhaled, a white mist formed, covering her face loomingly. Luo Xiaojia said in the mist:

"If you don't leave, everyone will die!!"

"If you die, you won't see tomorrow..."

"It's not possible to go to China, and it's not possible to go to Penglai. Let's talk about going to Australia. There are few people there, the place is empty, and it's close to us. If you go there, there will be someone to take care of you!!"

Listening to Luo Xiaojia's plan for Australia, Wang Meng took a puff of cigarette, opened his mouth and asked:

"Australia, the territory of the British, is gone, I'm afraid something big will happen!!"

The smoke on Luo Xiaojia's face completely dissipated, revealing her stewed red face, her eyes "bloody", she took a last puff, "pop", the cigarette butt fell to the ground, and she said loudly:

“I would like to go to Canada, but that place is too close to China!!”

"We have gone, something happened, and sooner or later it will be found on us. It is different in Australia. I have been to that place once, and there are no people. The British go to that ghost place and exile prisoners. There are all kinds of people, thieves, prostitutes, and robbers. !!”

"If these people die, the British won't feel sorry for them, and they might even thank us."

"Besides, that place is sparsely populated and has little contact with the outside world. If we are really sick, we won't be able to spread the news for a while!!"

Luo Xiaojia rambled on about a lot of the benefits of Australia.

The cigarette butt in Wang Meng's mouth became smaller and smaller, and finally turned into a cigarette butt, fell from the corner of his mouth, fell to the ground, and became "garbage".

Wang Meng picked up the cigarette case on the table, took out one, and threw it to Luo Xiaojia across from him. "Pop!" and lit another one. His mouth was once again filled with the taste of "nicotine". He squinted his eyes due to the smoke and finally spoke. :

"If you continue to stay in this place, you will die sooner or later, either from illness or starvation!!"

"Since you will die sooner or later, why not play the big game and try to survive!!"

"Have a meeting tonight and notify the living brothers!!"

Luo Xiaojia was lighting a fire with a lighter, but the fire hadn't been lit yet. When he heard this, he clicked and closed the lighter. His whole body became "energized". "Pop", the flame appeared again. He took a hard breath and smoked. The mouth filled with smoke said:

"If you do it, people will die and birds will fly to the sky, and they will not die for tens of millions of years!!"

Inside the wooden house, there was smoke, and outside the wooden house, soot was flying! !

…………

"Do you understand what I just said?"

"How about it? It belongs to a man, so show your attitude!!"

Wang Meng stood in a small wooden house, looking at the remaining forty-eight people, and shouted loudly, because another one fell ill yesterday, and together with him and Luo Xiaojia, the number fell from fifty-one to fifty.

There were "friction" and "whispering" sounds from below, whispering to each other, and constantly discussing "whether to go or not to go."

"Ugh!!"

"It's a man farting loudly, don't do it like a girl!!"

"Go or not go!!"

Luo Xiaojia's face changed when she saw the "scheming" below, and she immediately stood up and "reprimanded" him.

"Go, go, I'm leaving with you!!"

A young boy, about 14 or 15 years old, stood up. He was an immigrant on the ship. Due to good luck, he was not infected by the disease and seemed to be "live and active" now.

"Me too, I'm leaving too!!"

"I'm following too!!"

"Me too……"

With one person taking the lead, most of them agreed except for a few "scheming weirdos".

Finally, under Luo Xiaojia's "stern" gaze, those "smart people" became even "smarter" and stood up to express their willingness to "share weal and woe".

When everything is completed, the next thing is Wang Meng and Luo Xiaojia.

In the early morning, Luo Xiaojia's house was surrounded by smoke, like a "wonderland".

"If you ask me, those people are just a burden. If we can't be infected now, they will be infected sooner or later!!"

"It's better to just do it like this and dump it!!"

Listening to the word "dump" in Luo Xiaojia's mouth, Wang Meng's face "changed slightly", and finally said calmly: "If we don't take them with us, they will die, either from illness or starvation after we leave!!"

“I’m sorry for my conscience if I do this!!”

"Huh, conscience, if you want to talk about conscience, if you have a peaceful surrounding, can you really have a conscience? If you really have a conscience, will you let us resist??"

Luo Xiaojia's face showed "murderous intent". If the people around him were standing in front of him now, he would be the first one to draw the sword.

"Then what do you think we should do??"

"I did as you said, get rid of them. Have you ever thought that they will all die? More than three hundred lives will fall into our hands!!"

Wang Meng's hand holding the cigarette trembled slightly.

"But if you take them with you, will they survive??"

"Could they be able to recover and not infect us??"

“Or is it possible that a miracle doctor can save lives in that godforsaken place in Australia??”

Luo Xiaojia asked three questions in a row, completely knocking Wang Meng down.

Wang Meng held a cigarette and didn't speak for a long time. Luo Xiaojia also kept smoking. The smoke enveloped the two of them. Finally, Wang Meng spoke:

"What do you want to do??"

"Are you really going to dump me??"

After saying this, Wang Meng stared at Luo Xiaojia with "uneasiness" in his eyes.

After all, it’s only been one week since Zhou Ping’s two-week plan, and there’s still one week to go. If it doesn’t go well, I’m afraid everything will be over! !

Luo Xiaojia took a big sip of "rum", and finally threw the cigarette into the half-filled bottle of rum. "Hula", the water in the bottle started to rise, and finally she formed a sentence:

"They die, we live!!"

“What should I do if something goes wrong??”

"If something happens, I will pay the debt and you will live!!"

Looking at Luo Xiaojia's "stubborn" eyes, Wang Meng played the switch game with "pop", and sparks flew up, lighting up his face that was tired from these days.

"Something happened, you can't pay the debt alone, I'll help you!!"

"If nothing happens, I will leave this life to you!!"

Wang Meng stretched out his hand, and Luo Xiaojia held it tightly without any hesitation. Under the dim light, the two men seemed to have completed their "lifetime."

.............................................

On the sea, an old steamship "Gulu" is sailing.

In the cabin, only fifty people were left reluctantly steering the ship, which was once full of 405 people. As for the remaining people, they had been "dumped", just like boyfriend and girlfriend.

No one knows whether they are alive or dead now. Because they are afraid of infection, they don't even dare to touch those people's belongings, so they all stayed behind.

At the same time, some medicines, livestock, and even some grains and seeds were left behind. These things accounted for two-thirds of the entire supplies on the ship. When they were first given, some people questioned why such important things were given. It's something for a group of "sick people".

But as Wang Meng said:

"They may die, but some may live. We must prepare for those who are alive, and we must have a conscience!!"

Yes, Wang Meng started talking about his "conscience" at this time, or in other words, he was such a person to begin with, but he had to be a bad person when forced by reality.

On the ship, Wang Meng stood "relaxedly" in the captain's room, which was where Captain Xia and the "old captain" first stayed. He usually knocked on the door when he came in, but now there is no need for it because they are all dead.

Looking at the waves outside, before Wang Meng could react, the naked Luo Xiaojia stood next to him and said under his puzzled gaze: "The book says that by strengthening the muscles and bones, all diseases will be eliminated!!" "

The corners of Wang Meng's mouth twitched a few times, and then he said with a smile: "Yes, but there is a saying in my hometown that those who drown are those who know how to use water. What do you think?"

Luo Xiaojia clicked and closed the captain's room. When he came in again, he was already fully clothed.

Luo Xiaojia, well-dressed, stood beside Wang Meng and stretched out her hand to him.

Wang Meng was puzzled, and Luo Xiaojia said impatiently:

"Cigarettes, give me a cigarette to smoke. If you don't smoke, your mouth will be light!!"

Wang Meng shook his head and sighed:

“Wherever there is cigarettes, I don’t have to smoke myself!!”

"I finished smoking yesterday afternoon. I'm afraid I may have to shut up in the next few days."

"Humph", Luo Xiaojia snorted coldly, and then searched around the captain's room. Wang Meng looked at it strangely, frowning and asking:

"What are you looking for??"

"cigarette!!"

"Smoke, wherever there is cigarette, all the cigarettes have been smoked."

"Captain Xia originally bought cigarettes and smoked them secretly. He was reluctant to give them to us. He kept them in the dormitory because he was afraid that we would miss them. He hid them in the captain's room under the pretext of work. I remember it was right here..."

Luo Xiaojia opened a cabinet and opened several boxes, but still couldn't find it.

"found it!!"

"Damn it, if you have good cigarettes, you will know how to eat alone. Now it's better. People died without finishing the cigarettes."

Luo Xiaojia happily pulled out three "flowing water" from a mezzanine.

"Wow", the cigarette rod was torn open, revealing neatly arranged cigarettes. He took out a pack and threw it to Wang Meng who was standing by "watching". He opened a pack himself, couldn't wait to take one, and then He looked everywhere for a lighter, but finally Wang Meng borrowed one from him.

Smoking along the way, I stumbled to the Port of Brisbane in Australia.

In Brisbane Port, scattered merchant ships are like "building blocks" piled up together to form the word "poor".

When this old steamship sailed in, it even attracted the attention of many people in the city. Because Australia has few people, is remote, and has not discovered any gold mines, it is not favored by the British, so its commercial value is extremely low. Even though it was right next to the Dutch East Indies, the business was very poor. Most of the local colonists lived on kangaroo skins and scattered gold sand in the rivers, and their lives were very miserable.

In the words of Australian Governor Ballmer: "This is a scum concentration camp. They have made no contribution to the British Empire when they are alive. When they die, their names will not even appear. They have no family or friends. They are just a series of numbers." !!”

Yes, a string of "numbers".

The figures lived numbly every day. Finally, after "struggle", they resumed their old business and engaged in robbing families and homes.

It’s just that there is a question mark about robbing homes. The local aborigines in Australia are different from the aborigines in other places. The local aborigines are savage in character, especially some barbaric tribes. They will also grab guns and fight the colonists. In places like New Zealand, there are even Maori. Such a "wow" sound.

The lives of these colonists were not so pleasant. Although they took advantage of their weapons, they robbed many pastures in the coastal areas and lived a "good life" herding horses in Nanshan every day.

However, the local natives and those elusive thylacines often ask them to give up 10% to 50%, and even have to keep 20% to pay annual taxes.

After all, in the British Empire, beggars were also obliged to pay taxes.

In addition, the local area is far away from major civilized areas, and most colonists have difficulty in ensuring even basic supplies. Although with the rise of Lanfang, a large number of light industries have been supplied to the surrounding areas, poor Australia and a sparse population are doomed. , it is the "abandoned child" of civilization.

So when the old steamship flying the Han national flag "attacked", the locals even gave the ship a resounding name "Lucky".

Yes, really "lucky"! !

Standing on the streets of Brisbane, feeling the "peeping eyes" around him, Luo Xiaojia was in a particularly good mood, because he had returned to civilization again.

When he walked into the "Beer Hall", he could still hear rude shouts, but when he sat down and threw down five Chinese dollars, he was directly surrounded by the exotic atmosphere of "White Flowers".

Just as Luo Xiaojia was having an affair with the "foreign woman", Pingzheng fell into "emergency" far away in Penglai.

Just two days ago, he sent someone to Sansheng Island to check it out one day in advance, but he got the terrible news that the ship was gone.

The person who was sent back said in a panic tone: "The ship is gone, the house is full of dead people, all dead people!!"

When Zhou Ping asked about the number of people, he only got a number of "about two or three hundred".

At that time, this group of people only landed in the first settlement. Seeing the dead people, they ran back in fright. As for whether anyone was alive, they didn't know at all.

For this answer, Zhou Ping was naturally dissatisfied, but he was even more frightened. The boat was missing and the number of people was wrong, so there was only one answer: "Someone ran away!!"

Who is Wang Meng and the others? ?

"Terrible" endings kept flashing in Zhou Ping's mind.

"what!!"

At night, everyone around him got up from the bed in fright, and the wife next to him immediately came forward and asked:

"What's wrong??"

People around him were breathing heavily, and finally said: "Something bad is going to happen!!"

"touch" and fell onto the bed.

The next day, Ping was as anxious as a "dog" running around. No matter what his wife asked him, he didn't answer.

Finally, I sat on the bamboo bench, feeling "lifeless". I looked at my concerned wife who stepped forward and replied:

"If God opens his eyes, he will not let them live!!"

Boom! ! !

The weather in Brisbane turned gloomy, and bursts of "drums" sounded in the sky, as if to kick off the upcoming drama.

"Wow!" Luo Xiaojia lay on the rocking chair, swaying, and felt extremely comfortable, because in the past few days, nothing happened to any of them. This means nothing, it means that they are not sick! !

Being free from illness is the "greatest blessing".

At this time, Luo Xiaojia was like those "eminent monks" who see through life and death, looking at the rolling dark clouds in the sky, and sang loudly:

"Everyone in the world knows that gods are good, but they cannot forget their fame..."

bump! !

The door opened and Wang Meng ran in despite the rain. He looked at Luo Xiaojia in the rocking chair and said: "Something happened, people died in the city!!"

"Where are the ancient and modern generals now? Huang..."

Just as Luo Xiaojia sang the second verse of her song, she was interrupted. She stared blankly at Wang Meng like a drowned rat. It took a long time before she asked:

"Who died??"

"A woman in the pub!!"

Boom! ! !

A thunder exploded in the sky, white light flashed in, and "panic" appeared on both of their faces.

In the end, it was Wang Meng who spoke first:

"It should be fine. Only one person died. None of our people are fine."

“It shouldn’t be a big problem!!”

Luo Xiaojia looked at Wang Meng who was "comforting" him with a complicated expression, and finally stood up, the rocking chair behind him "clattering", looking at the falling rain outside, and said:

"Since our people are not dead, then don't care!!"

Wang Meng stood aside and took out two Lanfang cigarettes and handed them to Luo Xiaojia.

In the Western-style courtyard, two men stood in the room, looking at the rain and smoke covering everything.
