48 Hours a Day

Chapter 205 “Rat Disease”

Clay King accepted the letter of recommendation, "It may take some time to get everyone to vote. Others say, mainly captains like you, some of whom are not on the island right now, but they should all be back in a month, when you're officially in the council. ”

“Mr. Klein, please.” Zhang Hengdao.

The owner of Buddhist House laughed, “When you officially join the council for a dinner celebration here, the girls here have heard a lot of your stories during this time. I'm curious about you, and I hope you'll appreciate it. ”

Before he finished, he saw a girl with a beautiful mole on her mouth, about seventeen or eighteen years old, scouting out, curious, "Are they really saying that you can summon dolphins to chase enemies on dolphins in battle? ”

“No, the version I heard was that the rope on their deck was magical enough to fly up and cover the enemy, a crew member on his boat told me.” Another full-bodied woman.

“When will you tell us the story of your battle with the skeletons? I heard you met a skeleton ship on your voyage with over 300 skeletons on it, and you and your crew bravely repelled them...”

The girls kept their mouths shut until the mother-in-law threw them away.

“I didn't even know I had so many stories.” Zhang Hengdao.

“Never mind, every rising captain comes with a series of legends they've never even heard of themselves.” Clyde King put the pipe in his mouth and smoked two, "when Captain Sam took the Veda, there was a strong belief that he was the descendant of King Arthur. ”

Before sailing, Zhang Heng went to the second-hand goods exchange to find Karina again, but the businesswoman was not there.

Jim greeted him immediately, and Karina raised his salary after he was cleared of the suspicion, but also made him head of the trading office, and Mr. Bookkeeper was blessed by the accident.

Zhang Heng inquired before realizing how powerful Karina was. The grocery store she mentioned earlier. Nassau had already chosen an address. Just beside the market, the businesswoman was ready to open tomorrow. Zhang Heng thought about not bothering her eventually.

One day the harbours will be boiling.

This is the largest joint hunt in Nassau in recent years. The participating pirate ships are known to Hehe, not to mention the Veda. Since the disappearance of Blackbeard Titch, Black Prince Sam and his men have become the strongest pirate regiment in the area, and all he has come to collaborate with are Hehe's famous big pirates.

The only people with relatively low qualifications are Zhang Heng and his Cold Raven. However, they are now the most popular pirate group in Nassau and the most wanted by men on the island today. They can bring back huge trophies for three consecutive triples. The total number of people in World War I is three times the size of their own pirate group. The Cold Raven rose for a short time, but every step is full of legends.

Even in a group of famous old brand pirates, no one would ignore their presence. Instead, Zhang Heng came to the pier and many of the captains greeted him on their own initiative.

Besides that, Zhang Heng also saw Malcolm, which was the first time he met each other after that dinner. The latter's divine colour did not seem very different from the past. Malcolm stayed at the pier for a short while and spoke briefly with Black Prince Sam, wishing them well in this operation before leaving.

Before leaving, however, he saw Zhang Heng not far away stop again, and Zhang Heng nodded.

Zhang Heng was polite and polite, and those who did not know could not see the hostile relationship between the two.

Black Prince Sam, looking at the six pirate ships docked in the harbour in a variety of shapes, was already somewhat overwhelmed, and he was generous enough to have told the captains of the other five ships about the route of the Spanish treasure ship as early as last night.

Nor was there any need for secrecy in this operation, as there was no possibility of someone secretly repenting and acting on their own, with fire across the street, because that was no different from direct death.

“Let's get started, and if we succeed this time, the Queen of London will know our names, and merchant ships passing from now on will wind down when they see our flag. ”

“Found rats on the boat?” In the captain's chamber, Zhang Heng dropped his Dutch study notes and looked at the military officer and chef in front of him.

“Let Mr. Ramsey speak.” Devereaux.

“Technically, I didn't see those little things, but the kitchen did lose food and it's getting worse.” The fat chef wiped the sweat off his neck.

Rats are definitely one of the most annoying things on the boat, they accelerate the consumption of food and water, and they chew on cables and boat boards.

But none of this is the most troublesome thing, and what is really dangerous is that they can also cause the plague.

This is a highly contagious disease, often initially just headache fever, but soon you will feel nausea, bruises on the skin, and then the lymph nodes start to swell, quickly septic breakdown, eventually leading to death within 3 to 5 days due to severe toxicity, pneumonia or sepsis.

Especially during this era, the spread of the plague was controlled as far as possible only through isolation, with little effective treatment.

Zhang Heng knows more than anyone about the dangers of the plague. Europe lost 25 million people to black mortality in the 14th century, roughly one-third of the continent's total population at the time, while the most recent plague, which occurred more than four decades ago in London, also caused considerable panic.

“Hasn't anyone checked before sailing? ”

“My failure.” I checked it the day before I left the sea, "Divrena said," but I didn't check it again when the supplies arrived, and if the boat was mixed with mice, it could have been transported with food or wood. ”

“I don't blame you, this time is tight, I heard you were still looking for people to gather around, so it's early to find out, hurry up and solve this problem.” Zhang Hengdao.

“The last time I went ashore, I bought a cat, just to deal with the situation, let me take it and search the cabin again. ”

Diffrena finished talking to the chef and left the captain's room, but this time with a cat, he still couldn't find the rat who stole the food, so Zhang Heng had to mobilize the whole ship's people to carpet every corner.

When we searched the timber vault, we finally found something.

However, Zhang Heng couldn't help but laugh, especially Annie, whose face changed when she saw the scene inside.
