Chapter 1185 Pirates
I haven’t heard any news about the Prince cruise ship.
After 14 days, Ellen and others were released from quarantine, and they boarded a flight to England.
They cannot stay in Libya for long, they do not have visas.
It was only after Ellen returned to England that she had some fragmentary news about the Prince cruise ship.
The Prince cruise ship is still drifting on the sea, and no ships are allowed to approach within 10 nautical miles of it - except for a fast ship that delivers some food, fresh water, and medical supplies every few days.
The epidemic on the cruise ship is basically under control, and there are no new cases.
However, the medical mission is still quite serious, and people die from time to time.
There is a legendary figure on the ship, Liu Maqiao.
His acupuncture has a miraculous effect, and basically all the patients treated by him are cured.
There is very unfortunate news that Captain Xiu died. He did not die from an infectious disease, but from trauma. During the emergency repair of the boiler, a hydraulic press exploded and Xiu died on the spot.
……
There are also some fragmentary news that can be seen in newspapers.
Ellen will collect news about the Prince cruise ship every day.
On this day, Ellen's father came back from school with a leather bag and told him the news he had received from school about the Prince cruise ship and that pirates had entered the ship.
This is not ordinary bad news, because this group of pirates will spread infectious diseases to land.
More importantly, this group of pirates will not tell you their whereabouts at all. They hide and move around everywhere, and will spread the virus to many places.
Ellen's father said that according to intelligence, the pirates robbed a lot of money on the ship, mostly cash, jewelry, and gold. They quickly dispersed after landing ashore, and two of them may have entered England.
This is really bad news.
These dead pirates!
Also, Ellen's father said that the pirates killed many people on the ship, including a medical officer named Fuoqi.
Ellen cried.
Fuoqi is a good man. He cooperates very well with Liu Miqiao and takes care of the salt water and sugar water. Ellen actually enjoys 2000 ml of it, which is more than the captain.
How pitiful.
He didn’t die from an infectious disease, but he died from a pirate’s knife.
"Where is Liu Miqiao! Liu Miqiao is okay, right? He must be okay, right?" Suddenly, Ellen realized that Liu Miqiao might also have been killed by pirates.
"I don't know." Father said, "I haven't heard of it."
Ellen cried for a while, and then she began to ask for news.
She knew whether this information would appear in the media for a while, because the media simply couldn't find out what happened on the ship.
There is only one channel for news on the ship, and that is the command center of the London Department of Health. They have to talk to the ship on the phone every day.
Ellen came outside the Department of Health early in the morning. She tried to go in, but was kicked out every time.
Although the infectious disease has not yet spread to land, the atmosphere is already tense.
Near the Department of Health, people were disinfecting areas where people were coming and going. People who came over also wore masks, and everyone looked very serious.
"Excuse me..."
When Ellen sees someone coming out, she will step forward and ask.
However, she didn't get any news at all for a whole day.
She is not discouraged.
She also bought various newspapers and read them carefully.
Two more people came out of the Department of Health.
They paid no attention to Ellen.
"Damn it, the body in the building at No. 77 on 5th Street, the police department highly suspects it is a missing pirate." A tall man said.
"It's terrible! How many people and vehicles did he come into contact with? If he gets sick, the whole of London will turn into a dead city!" The other was a short, fat middle-aged man.
"The key is, there are two more. The police department has not yet found their whereabouts."
……
They walked away while talking.
Ellen can't stay here anymore. She plans to go back and leave some plasma at the plasma station.
She is studying biology, so she naturally understands that her plasma will be extremely valuable. Her blood contains a large number of antibodies. The antibodies are specific and can neutralize the virus.
She must save some for her family.
She has no brothers, only her parents, a family of three, and she must ensure that they live in this world.
These are the two closest people to her, and they are also her protectors.
……
While Ellen was collecting plasma, in a house outside London, two tired middle-aged men were plotting.
They must hide.
They counted the property they got and were satisfied with the stolen goods. The cash was divided equally, and everyone got 1.33 million pounds. There was also the same amount of gold, 9 gold bars per person. However, gold necklaces, diamonds, and gemstones were somewhat difficult to value.
Depending on luck, everyone made a hasty allocation.
Generally satisfied, they prepared to split up, one going east and the other west, to avoid being chased by the police.
"Ahem, the second brother is dead. You have to take more care of them in the future." One of the men wearing a fake beard said.
"Don't worry, I will take care of Er Er's mother and son. However, you can't just sit idly by after passing this test." Another man with a fake scar on his face said.
"The question is, can we get over this hurdle? My throat is a little itchy."
"What are you afraid of? I told you that the Chinese medicine on the ship must be useful. You see, I don't believe it, but I won't eat it, so I'm not dead. As for me, I've eaten a few packets, and you see, I'm fine. I advise you to take it.
A few packs."
"Okay, you give me 4 packs."
"No, I only have 6 packs in total."
"Split equally, 3 packets per person."
"Okay, 3 packs per person."
Two people divided the traditional Chinese medicine liquid robbed on the ship, 3 packets each, and drank 1 packet on the spot.
After a few minutes, the two set off with their luggage.
One is facing east and the other is facing west.
After half a day, the police detective came here.
They found two traditional Chinese medicine packaging bags.
"That's right! It's them!"
"Don't move! This place must be disinfected quickly!"
Soon, the disinfection team came in. They carried disinfectant on their backs and swiped at the detective. Finally, everyone's eyes fell on the traditional Chinese medicine packaging belt.
"Yes, these are definitely items on the ship. They took Chinese medicine here."
"Yes, yes, one of them must be sick. Otherwise, they would not take Chinese medicine casually. Not many people in England believe in Chinese medicine."
"That would be bad. They might break up nearby, and the spread might be wider."
……
On the eastbound train, a bearded man coughed softly, opened another bag of Chinese medicine, drank it, and threw the bag of Chinese medicine on the floor.
"Who is this? It's unhygienic!" A little girl reached out and grabbed the plastic bag.
"Don't!" A middle-aged man stopped the girl, "Child, just don't throw things away. It's not your fault if others throw things away. You have no responsibility to help others pick up trash."
"This bearded uncle is not civilized." The little girl pouted and criticized.
