Chapter 165 Machine Gun Priest

'Kitten' quickly came around and said with a smile, "The hospital's anesthesia is in short supply, and they need to take care of 'Chainsaw' and 'Crowbar' first because they are more seriously injured."The surgeon believed that 'Elephant' did not need anesthesia, but every time they tried to set his bones, he would scream and curse." seaʀᴄh thё Nôvel(F)ire.ηet website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality. Joe Ga shook his head and said to Nis, "How did I never notice Elephant was so dumb before?" As he spoke, Joe Ga heard some noise behind him and saw the lieutenant who had been paralyzed by Sanderson being wheeled in. He pulled 'Kitten' close and whispered in her ear, "Hemostat must be inside, have her collect all the anesthesia, it's just a few broken ribs, Elephant can endure, this guy can surely endure as well." Upon hearing this, 'Kitten's' eyes immediately lit up. She maliciously glanced at the lieutenant feigning death on the bed and then approached the young nurse to whisper a few words in her ear. Somehow, the young nurse happily opened the door to the operation room and took her into a prep room, had her clean up a bit, and then change into a blue antimicrobial suit before leading her into the surgery room. The French lieutenant was conscious, and through the slits of his walnut-sized swollen eyes, he saw 'Kitten's' actions, then suddenly jerked on the bed like a corpse come to life, and started to say something loudly in a muffled voice... Consequently, the local nurse pushing his bed thought he was in great pain and kept patting his hand and softly comforting this lost lamb, even sharing his own cross with him for a moment, the message being, "Don't worry, God will look after you." Watching the lieutenant struggle in agony as if being led to the execution chamber, trying to get out of bed to walk home on his own, an impassive Karman walked over, covertly curled up his index finger and forcefully jabbed near the untouched side of his ribs, which made the man scream an inhuman wail and faint from the pain. Joe Ga laughed heartily at the sight, gave old Karman a thumbs up, then came to his senses and said, "Owl, try the radio and see if 'Hemostat' has it with him. We need to know something about what's going on, standing around here is no good—it gets in the way of their work." After Antar Liso tried, 'Hemostat' came out quickly alongside a Chinese doctor. Like a common relative of a patient, Joe Ga stepped forward to intercept the doctor and asked, "Hello, doctor, how are the people inside doing now?" When the Chinese doctor heard a familiar language, he glanced at Joe Ga and the people behind him and nodded, saying, "There are a lot of people inside. If you're asking about the one who screamed the loudest, he's fine now." With that, the Chinese doctor, speaking in Mandarin with a northwestern accent, asked, "Are you from inland China?" Joe Ga nodded and replied, "That's right, my name is Hu Lang. I came from inland to make a living. How come you're working as a doctor in Central Africa?" The Chinese doctor listened and, understanding Joe Ga didn't want to talk about these things, laughed and said, "My name is Tan Wei. I was unlucky. When the foreign medical support teams were being arranged, I drew the lot for Central Africa. I don't usually work here; we have our own clinic next to the embassy in the capital, Bangui. It just so happened to coincide with a visit to the countryside—quite the timing, right?" As he spoke, Doctor Tan Wei slapped his forehead and said, "Oh, talking to you made me forget, there are still two kids with broken arms. 'Hemostat' told me their arms have been broken for almost 4 hours, we need to set them quickly, or there may be complications later." Upon hearing this, Joe Ga promptly stepped aside, looked around, and discovered two half-grown boys in the corner, silently holding their arms. He had nearly forgotten about them. Tan Wei saw the boys and, frowning, went over to shoo away a grizzled jungle veteran, then had one child sit on a chair. Without any X-ray, Tan Wei squeezed the child's arm a few times, then waved 'Hemostat' over. 'Hemostat' carrying a large box, ran over with admiration in her eyes, handed Tan Wei the rudimentary splint, helped secure it, and helped Tan Wei wrap the boy's arm. He fixed the second boy's arm the same way and, without lingering there, turned and walked toward the operation room. On his way, he instructed 'Hemostat' in English, "The broken bones have been reset. They should move less these next few days. The weather here is too humid and hot for a cast; let them eat well, and in about 40 days they can have the splints removed and start moving a little." Joe Ga watched as 'Hemostat's' face bloomed with a sweet smile, whispering softly to Tan Wei. As she was about to follow into the operation room, he grabbed hold of her, saying irritably, "How are Elephant and the others doing now?" 'Hemostat,' fully alert now, let out a sigh and looked at Joe Ga, saying, "Tan is a very amazing doctor..." With that, 'Hemostat' rubbed her cheeks and said, "They're all fine, all just superficial wounds. Doctor Tan helped 'Elephant' with the rib repositioning, he should be up and around in half a month. A priest doctor treated 'Crowbar's' rib injury, he probably needs to recover for half a month. 'Chainsaw's' issue is a bit more complicated. A doctor from the International Red Cross took a piece of skin from his buttocks and applied it to his face. His injury is not severe, just a bit unsightly." Joe Ga nodded in relief, saying, "Then we'll just wait. Go back in and take another look. When they come out, I'll talk to the doctor about what medications are needed moving forward—I'll figure something out." 'Hemostat,' now fully conscious, nodded seriously and said, "We do need a lot of medication. I'll go write up a list now. It's best to prepare a surplus of everything, as we may need them in the future." "Hemostat" hesitated for a moment and then said to Joe Ga, "There was a Father today who gave us a huge hand, boss. He ran into a bit of trouble, and I was wondering if you could..." Joe Ga was taken aback and asked, "What kind of help do you need from me?" "The Father," continued Hemostat, "brought a batch of medicines from his hometown in Mexico to Central Africa, but they were stolen. Those medicines were supposed to go to a church on the border to provide medical services to the villagers there, but now the medicines are lost and he had to come work in the hospital, hoping to exchange for some drugs." After listening, Joe Ga thought for a moment, then looked at Hemostat and asked, "How good is this Father's medical skills? And where is his church?" Hemostat nodded and responded, "Father Gamorre is a great doctor. He is in the operating room right now, helping with surgery. His church is located in the jungle near 'Senggar Town,' only 20 kilometers away from our base." Joe Ga nodded after hearing this. Fathers and churches, the characters often seen in movies, but why would an excellent doctor run away to the jungle? Why build a church there? His own territory also had many 'lost lambs.' Today's incident made Joe Ga realize that he still lacked many things, and 'doctors' were among the more critical parts. Seeing Hemostat's hesitant look, Joe Ga gestured and said, "Go and ask that Father Gamorre if he would like to set up a church near our base. I can sponsor the equipment and medicines he needs." Enjoy exclusive chapters from empire When Hemostat heard this, he shook his head and said, "It might not be possible. Father Gamorre is a bit different; he probably wouldn't want to abandon the villagers in the jungle." Joe Ga asked curiously, "What's that mean? What can a Father do out in the jungle?" Hemostat replied with an odd expression, "He is a bit different. Well, I've seen a few Fathers like him. They are... how should I put it... quite unique." Now Joe Ga's curiosity was piqued, and he pressed, "So what makes them different?" Hemostat pondered for a moment with a strange expression and said, "The locals call them 'Machine Gun Priests,' but they call themselves 'Communist Priests.' They generally have a bad temper. Father Gamorre said he wasn't like this at the beginning, but after getting to know the jungle inhabitants, he felt it was his duty to help them change their lives. So he went back to his country and bought both medicines and weaponry. Unfortunately, both of these were stolen!" Joe Ga was stunned after hearing this; the world was full of bizarre and fascinating places. Even the worst places have their unique individuals. Although this Father wanted to lead those villagers, who could not survive, to form a guerrilla group, Joe Ga couldn't quite say that he was doing anything wrong. In this hopeless place, becoming outlaws and banding together in the woods was the norm. How else could they make a name for themselves and wait for amnesty? At this point, Joe Ga became more interested in this Father—a qualified surgeon, a Father respected by the jungle natives. Setting aside his ambition to form a guerrilla group, this guy was someone Joe Ga really needed. Having a good relationship with the natives meant he would be well-informed about the jungle. This would be an absolute advantage for Joe Ga, who was about to wage war against drug traffickers. How could he let such a person go? Even if he refused to move the church near the base, building a good relationship was essential. It was just a bit of medicine; how much could one person bring over? Seeing Hemostat's hesitant look, Joe Ga smiled and said, "I'll just wait here at the hospital until Elephant and the others come out, then I'll go see this Father. Supporting him isn't out of the question, but as you can see, our camp needs a professional doctor too. Serious injuries will still require hospital treatment, but we need the capacity to deal with common injuries on our own." After listening, Hemostat pondered and then said, "Then I think you could consider the Doctors Without Borders surgeon who operated on 'Chainsaw.' He's from a group with the International Red Cross, and he's not alone. If you're willing to build a hospital for them in the small border town 'Senggar' and guarantee their safety, they should be willing to work with you." With an insinuating tone, Hemostat added, "Sir, 'Senggar Town' is only 20 kilometers away from us. If you fulfill their desire to do good, they can serve us in a way. And through their channels, we could obtain a large supply of cheap medicines!"
