Chapter 699 Sentry Attack
Forty-eight hours before Li Jie and others confronted Magneto.
South America, Chile.
After a staggering seven-hour flight, Strange felt that his whole body was about to fall apart. Compared with the various planes he has taken before, whether it is the first-class cabin of civil aviation aircraft such as Airbus A380 or Boeing 747, this plane modified from the former Soviet Il-76 transport plane is more comfortable in terms of comfort. Very poor experience.
Because the aircraft has a limited load capacity, the necessary load is used to load food and medicine, so it is naturally not very good in terms of rides.
After all, a sofa in the first-class cabin of civil aviation weighs nearly 100 kilograms. For freight, a sofa of this weight is too wasteful to sit on.
Doctors Without Borders is a completely non-profit organization, and most of all organizational expenses come from donations.
Therefore, it is impossible for them to add large and comfortable chairs to this kind of aircraft that can carry both people and goods. Anyway, the iron chairs wrapped in leather that are left over from the former Soviet Union and lean on both sides of the cabin wall can still be used. Then there is no need to upgrade to a better set of chairs at all.
This is how Strange flew to Chile from other countries in South America with this Il-76. There was also a stop in Brazil for a period of time in the middle, so the whole journey was as long as seven hours. Strange felt as if his ass was about to be blown apart by the steel chair.
He is a doctor, not a professionally trained soldier. This kind of hard work is really not what he is good at.
But the long journey has finally come to an end, and Valparaíso, Chile has finally arrived. Sam, sent by Doctors Without Borders to be Strange's assistant, patted Strange on the shoulder.
"Doctor, ours is here." Sam saw Strange's eyes closed, thinking that Strange was asleep.
Strange waved his hand and pushed Sam away: "I'm awake, don't disturb me. The sound insulation quality of this broken plane is too poor, and I'm a bit nervous now."
Sam shook his head helplessly: "Then I'll arrange for manual unloading first."
Sam's so-called unloading means that a considerable amount of vaccines have been obtained from the United States and Europe. Including vaccines for malaria and dengue fever, common diseases in South America. Chile is considered a relatively good country in South America, so except for a small number of vaccines here for medical institutions in poor areas of Chile, most of them are transported to other more remote and poor countries through Chile.
And when Sam directed the porters to carry these important medicines, you must know that the price of any vaccine is not cheap. In this world, medical resources are becoming more and more expensive.
As an old man who has served MSF for five years, Sam is still very grateful to the donors of this batch of medicines. By the way, Lansheer Medical Chemical Group.
I would like to thank them for donating more than 30 million US dollars of medicines, including antibiotics and various vaccines, to Doctors Without Borders at one time. I heard that they will continue to donate tens of millions of dollars of medicines in the future.
Sam remembers the words of the Landseer Chemicals representative: "Get these medicines into the hands of those who need them!"
Whenever he thinks that there are such generous rich people in the world who are willing to donate freely to the medical cause of mankind, Sam feels more motivated to work.
Strange finally recovered from the feeling of neurasthenia when the medicine delivery was not good enough.
Strange shook his head: "Sam, I should have been going to Eastern Europe before. Compared with the messy Eastern Europe that was devastated by war, Chile is already considered an advanced country. I think Doctors Without Borders Is the arrangement wrong?"
Sam looked at Strange, who was covering his head, and said, "Doctor, sometimes we also need some compromises. The rich man in South America donated nearly 20 million US dollars in various materials to our organization. His only requirement is that the organization can Consider sending some excellent doctors to guide and improve the medical level here."
"To be honest, this kind of request is hard to refuse. And there are no longer a few poor places in South America. Capitalists buy mines at cheap prices, and then hire locals to mine at cheap prices. And the labor intensity of many mines and plantations The labor indicators are very unreasonable. In fact, there are many places where we are needed. Because many miners or plantation hired workers have no money to go to the hospital." Sam explained.
"Okay." Strange nodded and understood: "Since this is the case, then let it be. When will Sam start working?"
"It is scheduled to start tomorrow. We will give priority to going to a plantation dozens of kilometers away. First, we will voluntarily vaccinate the workers against dengue fever and malaria. Check whether anyone here has AIDS, etc., and other detailed work will be carried out gradually." Sam Briefly describe the itinerary.
"As for you, doctor, apart from going on a free clinic tour with us tomorrow, you will be in the local hospital for the rest of the day. After all, your skills must be supported by professional equipment."
Strange waved his hand: "Understood, since this is the case, then I'll go buy a cup of coffee first. I hope there is a place that sells Starbucks coffee in this airport and it's better not to have the terrible amount of sugar added by South Americans."
Strange's work in South America has just started, and this is his volunteer doctor's trip. Here, he is no longer an authority on The Lancet or Medicine. He is just a simple doctor regardless of his identities.
Facing the patient, find out the cause, or cure, or give up. He was no longer an omnipotent doctor. Although he had to face failure, Strange felt that his pressure was not so heavy for the first time.
………………………
Time point: When Magneto attacked the Hydra gold mine. Location: Bermuda.
Red Skull Schmidt got another bad news. The Hydra gold mine located in South America on the Chilean border was attacked by the Brotherhood of Mutants. And it is likely to fail.
The loss of the gold mine is only a loss of part of the funds, but the loss of the associated rare earth mines is a great loss for Hydra.
Now it is becoming more and more difficult to purchase rare earths around the world. If you lose your own veins, it will be difficult to buy rare earths without being noticed by those who want to. You must know that Hydra is still an underground organization.
Red Skull pressed the button to communicate with Dr. Rice with an uneasy expression: "Dr. Rice, you reported to me a month ago. Sentinel 1 has already started mass production. This plan has consumed a lot of our funds , I hope to see results."
Dr. Rice on the other end of the communication: "Nature's leader, we now have more than seventy sentinel robots that can be used."
"Very well, then I need my sentinel fighters to move and go to South America to teach mutants a profound lesson!" Red Skull had already ordered, and the sentinel robots' mutant hunting orders began to be issued.
