Dragon Gate Swordsman

"Cancel it temporarily. At this stage, we should focus on handling the hijacking case. Also..."

Chongxiao suddenly paused, then turned his head away awkwardly, "Although you are well developed, Xiaolongnu, you should still put on your clothes."

Chen Huijie was petrified.

Just now, she was tying her hair while picking up the baked bread, which caused her to not button up her shirt, which made the curve of her chest stand out in a very obvious way, and also gave someone with bad intentions a feast for the eyes...

I remember that when I first started teaching her swordsmanship, she wasn't so strong... I don't know if it was because she had an innate advantage or because she had eaten too well at the Royal Guard Academy, but anyway, I never expected that Xiao Longnu was a hidden giant.

With a "bang", the security door was slammed shut, and the wind it created made Chongxiao squint his eyes.

Ten minutes later, Chen Huijie, who was walking towards the headquarters building with Chongxiao, looked normal, without any expression that could be easily recognized.

But she didn't know it, and this made someone want to tease her even more.

"You seem to have gotten up a little late today?"

"None of your business!"

"Really? Then I can sleep in and slack off from now on?"

"no!"

"Then tell me what's going on. You don't seem like someone who would be easily influenced."

Chen Huijie's eyes moved slightly, and she hesitated whether to tell her dream.

But she quickly realized that this was her privacy, so why did she have to tell Chongxiao...

"I'm fine, the alarm just broke."

Do you still use an alarm clock?

Chongxiao smiled but said nothing...

The meeting with Inspector Rost was not scheduled until nine o'clock, but it was not yet seven when the two arrived at the Guard Bureau headquarters building.

This is because before the meeting, the special inspection team will have to conduct an internal discussion, but the focus is not whether to agree to REM Billiton's extradition request, but how to respond to the condemnation of the people of Longmen.

With Chen Huijie's current identity and level, she is not qualified to participate, but it is obvious that Chongxiao is "paving the way" for her in advance.

In addition to those who were at the scene at the time, the special inspection team members who participated in the discussion also included Jia Ju, who "triggered" the incident... He now blames himself very much and thinks that if he had taken it more seriously at the time and directly arrested or shot all seven gangsters, there would not have been the subsequent traffic station hostage-taking incident.

"That's true, Jiaju, but it's also possible that we'll have to attend your funeral after you die in the line of duty."

"Sister Ka!?"

"Don't get excited, Jiu, Kanelian is right."

Texas waved his hand to signal Jiu to calm down, and then said to Jiaju: "You are not a prophet, you can't guarantee to avoid any accidents."

"By the way, have the medical reports for the three injured come out? Are they infected?"

"I can't... get out at all."

Ajiu, who was in charge of this matter, smiled bitterly and shook his head. "It usually takes two to three months to determine whether the Originium dust can cause infection." (Note)

"Can't we use a micro-vision device to observe it?"

"Ordinary people can do it, but the three of them have other injuries. Using that to observe their lungs might cause some problems."

Although Longmen has begun to set up medical institutions for oripathy due to the existence of ore processing plants in the infected area, it does not mean that they will be available immediately. At least for now, there is no such institution in Longmen in the true sense. Therefore, not to mention treatment and control of oripathy infection, even early diagnosis is a problem.

As long as the medical examination report is not out, the Health Bureau will have to bear the public pressure for one more day.

unless……

"How about trying to find someone to help?"

Red's words made everyone look at him.

"Who are you looking for?"

"Well... I am an infected person after all, so I know a little about this. Recently, a medical institution has been operating outside, and it seems to be specifically targeting mineral disease."

Are you out and about?

This description left Texas and others a little confused, but Chongxiao and Kanelian, who had seen many land ships, reacted.

In addition, he also felt that the name Rhodes Island sounded familiar...

"You mean this Rhodes Island is on a mobile town or a landship?"

"That's about right. Mainly based on the information I got, they don't seem to be too far from Longmen. They should be able to send all the injured over for examination."

It doesn't sound very reliable, because according to what Red heard, this Rhodes Island seems to have just started business, and no one knows whether what they advertised is true or not.

So to be on the safe side, it is best to arrange for someone to escort the injured person.

"Leave this to me. Um... Red, you go too. If they are really good at curing mineral sickness, then you can take a look at it as well."

Hearing this, a hint of gratitude flashed in Reid's eyes.

In this way, the problem of the wounded was solved. However, no matter what the result was, the Guards Bureau still had to find a way to deal with the pressure from the people of Longmen.

"Actually... this question isn't that difficult."

"Have you thought of a solution?"

"Ah."

Texas nodded solemnly, and then said something that shocked everyone present: "People only want a result. It doesn't matter whether it is right or not. So... as long as I, the head of the special inspection team, resign, the problem can be solved."

……

A few days later, in the wilderness 360 kilometers northwest of Longmen’s anchorage.

In the past few months, the giant ship named Rhodes Island by Kal'tsit has not moved very far.

The reasons include necessary modifications, too few crew members on board, and dealing with the legacy issues of organizational structure changes, but the most important point... is that some people are still unwilling to leave this land.

This land... was once called Kazdel.

Of course, the carefree Huang is definitely not among these people.

At this moment, she was sitting at the front of the wide deck of Rhodes Island, leisurely basking in the sun and breeze, thinking about something that she had been hesitating about for half a month: How should she write a reply to Brother Chongxiao?

In fact, Huang had been thinking about whether to reply as early as when Dr. Kal'tsit told her that Ascalon brought back news and greetings from Chongxiao from Longmen... But at that time, Rhodes Island had just been established and there were too many tasks and things to deal with. In addition, if she showed her longing for Brother Chongxiao too obviously, it would inevitably disappoint Dr. Kal'tsit.

Huang is a man who keeps his promises. Since he has decided to join Rhodes Island, he will definitely not go to Longmen to find Chongxiao.

Therefore, the matter of replying to the letter has been delayed until now...

As I was thinking, a voice suddenly came from behind me.

"Dr. Kal'tsit seems to have said that it would be best for Rhodes Island operators to carry communication devices with them at all times."

The corner of Huang's eye twitched, because the person who came over was the type she was very uncomfortable dealing with.

I don’t know if it’s a continuation of the tradition of the Tower of Babel, but all members joining Rhodes Island need an action code name, and they are usually called by this code name.

The person who came to see Huang at this time was code-named Doberman. He was the operations instructor appointed by Dr. Kal'tsit, responsible for teaching and training grassroots operators.

Huang didn't know her real name, and she had never revealed it. All he knew was that she had served in Bolivar and was a colonel... Perhaps this was why she often had a stern face and was serious.

“…My thing was broken, so I didn’t bring it with me.”

"Really? Has the replacement or repair report been submitted to the Logistics Department?"

“还… … There is… … ”

Cold sweat broke out on Huang's forehead. At this moment, she deeply understood what it meant that one lie often required multiple lies to cover it up.

Fortunately, Doberman didn't come to see her for anything important, he just asked her to go to Kal'tsit.

Walking across the wide deck, returning to the interior of the ship, and heading towards the bridge area where Dr. Kal'tsit was... Huang suddenly realized that there seemed to be some new faces appearing here.

Not surprisingly, after applying to register as an international medical institution, Rhodes Island sent out a large number of operator recruitment notices, which were delivered to various countries and regions by messengers.

According to Huang's understanding, what Rhodes Island urgently needs now are mechanical and engineering personnel who are responsible for the most basic ship maintenance and upkeep. In addition, there are experienced medical personnel and "guards" with certain combat capabilities.

After all, they would be traveling in the wilderness most of the time, so it would be okay if they encountered Originium bugs and wild beasts, but if there were bandits or mercenaries with bad intentions, they would be defeated by just three or five people... In fact, Huang himself joined Rhodes Island with this identity.

Many people greeted Huang. The past few months of getting along with her colleagues have made her familiar with them.

Soon, Huang arrived at the treatment room in the bridge area... Normally, Dr. Kal'tsit would be here, and she rarely went to the cafeteria even for meals.

Sure enough, she was checking on the child again.

"Hello! Louisa, is Dr. Kelsey's class over?"

"Ms. Huang... didn't I tell you to use operator code names?"

"Oh sorry, Yaye."

Huang's apology was very insincere, but the brown-haired girl called Yaye didn't care much.

She is Kal'tsit's student. She is not a real operator yet, but she already has a code name... Because she often comes here to check the degree of infection of oripathy, Huang is quite familiar with her and can chat with her.

It is worth mentioning that Huang feels that Yaye is very similar to himself in one aspect: that is, he is very disgusted with his hometown.

Huang has been trying to forget the tragic massacre of his family, and Yaye would show a cold or even disgusted expression when hearing the word Ursus.

Soon, Kal'tsit's routine examination was completed, and then the little girl was taken out of the clinic and handed over to Yaye.

When the little girl saw Huang, she waved and greeted him.

"Good morning, Sister Huang!"

"Yeah, you too, Amiya."

Huang smiled as he watched Yaye taking the girl's hand and taking her away. He had the urge to rush over, hug her in his arms and Rough her hard.

After all, little Amiya is really cute!

Kal'tsit pointed to the chair next to her and motioned Huang to sit down. She took off her white coat and placed it in the disinfection cabinet against the wall.

But the first words she said were not a greeting, but a question...

"Warfarin told me that you didn't go to your scheduled appointment yesterday."

"Uh... I'm fine, and that guy's cold look makes me nervous."

"This is not an excuse, Huang. I promised Chongxiao that I would take good care of you."

When this was mentioned, Big Cat suddenly felt a little embarrassed.

After leaving the Divine Capital that year, Hedley and the others got off the car after returning to the Kazdel area, while Huang followed Kal'tsit directly to Victoria and lived in a medical institution there for a year.

If she had cooperated with the treatment, Huang's mineral sickness would have been controlled to a fairly safe level. But unfortunately, due to the tragedy in the capital, she became obsessed with becoming stronger and began to practice her Originium skills without restriction. As a result...

In short, Huang's decision to join Rhodes Island was a very necessary one.

"There is bad news and good news. Which one do you want to hear first?"

"That must be bad news!"

"Since you skipped the scheduled inspection yesterday, you will be responsible for the cleaning of the dormitory area for the next three days."

Huang's face turned bitter, and he was about to explain himself, but he found that Kal'tsit had a blank expression and cold eyes, and it was obvious that he had no chance.

"So...what's the good news? Can I get a reduced sentence if I do well?"

"No."

Kal'tsit's mouth corners lifted up involuntarily, and her next words made Huang completely stunned, "Chongxiao will arrive at Rhodes Island the day after tomorrow."

……

(Note: According to the original setting, the infection of Ore disease caused by Originium dust should be gradual. Whether it can be diagnosed in the early stage mainly depends on blood tests. However, after Originium dust is inhaled, it should not spread rapidly throughout the blood, otherwise there would be no such thing as "long-term contact". This book refers to the real-life pneumoconiosis and sets it to be difficult to identify the infection caused by Originium dust in the early stage)

Chapter 147 Chongxiao's First Meeting with Rhodes Island

"Sir, you don't seem... surprised at all?"

"What do you mean?"

"This type of low-Earth transport aircraft is very rare. Our Guards Bureau has only two in the entire Longmen, and the other one is unable to take off right now."

"so what?"

Chongxiao looked at the driver in surprise, still not quite understanding what he wanted to say.

"... Never mind, it's okay... Sir, please close the hatch, we are about to take off."
