Chapter 846 Plague

On the other hand, Drake chose a group of black slaves to teach navigation. The clever black slaves have initially mastered some simple navigation knowledge. These indigenous people from the Atlantic islands have a natural** for the ocean! Even if there is no warp and weft, we will not get lost in the vast ocean. As long as they look at the night sky, they can distinguish the direction through the stars. These indigenous people even have a record of crossing the Atlantic in their simple canoe! They just don't have the ability to build big ships. But it is not difficult to drive this kind of galley as long as they have time.

Drake and Hawkins feel that these black slaves are getting more and more cute. I was thinking about how to quit a group of lazy and wine crew after returning to Plymouth Harbor. But not long after the good days, the Hawkins fleet encountered something very annoying again...

"What are you talking about? Plague?!" Hawkins roared, "These damn dirty black slaves don't know how many terrible viruses they have! Tell me, how many black slaves are infected now?

"Reported that about a hundred black slaves already have obvious symptoms! One of the black slaves with poor resistance has died, and his internal organs are rotten! That belly is as disgusting as a toilet full of stinking shit! The doctor accompanying the ship was helpless about this acute infectious disease. He had never seen such a violent virus! It's more horrible than the Black Death in the Dark Ages! Some of our crew members have also been infected. If there is no effective isolation, I'm afraid the safety of the whole fleet will be endangered!" The captain said with a sad face.

"Go and invite the baron who is proficient in medicine. These mysterious orientals may have a way to cure such a fierce infectious disease!" Drake suggested, "Those black sailors are also temporarily isolated. I don't know if they will also carry this deadly virus!"

Hawkins seemed to grab a life-saving straw and shouted, "Yes! Yes! Hurry up and invite Baron Shifan, he must have a way! How could this happen..."

............

After checking the condition of a crew member, Zhang Fan's face changed greatly. In his eyes, this strange disease actually formed a layer of horrible black disease on the patient's body covered with rash and abscess, and the black gas twisted into an ugly skeleton zombie form! Although he had known for a long time that this was a masterpiece of indigenous wizards, he was still shocked to see this plague!

"We must land immediately and move those concentrated black slaves to the shore. In such hot weather, in the narrow and crowded cabin, the disease is more likely to spread! In ten hours, captain, I'm afraid you will have no return!" Zhang Fan frowned and shouted, "Give me all the rum, whisky, and all kinds of spirits and alcohol that can be found!" Our ships, clothes, personnel, and all supplies need to be thoroughly disinfected!"

"Ships without disease are far away, but all items must also be disinfected with spirits! Everyone must go through my examination, and anyone with signs of disease must be quarantined! This is a terrible infectious disease! It's more terrible than the Black Death in medieval Europe!" Zhang Fan's hand lit up the colorful Buddha light and dispelled the black gas on the patient's body. The guy was obviously much better. However, Zhang Fan did not completely cure him. He still looked very weak under the torture of black illness.

"Quick! Pass down the order of the Baron!" Hawkins' eyes almost cracked as soon as he heard that his blood was almost cracked. He grabbed the whisky from the crew's hand and said, "Get out! Listen to you bastards. From now on, you are not allowed to drink a drop of wine. Keep it for disinfection! If anyone dares to drink a drop of my wine, I will throw him into those infected black slaves!" This fleet has six large ships that need to be disinfected!

Zhang Fan's request was quickly met, and the fleet immediately anchored in an uninhabited bay, and all the slaves were moved from the dark and narrow cabin to land. Hawkins did not deliberately take care of them. In his opinion, these black slaves attacked by the terrible plague did not have the strength to escape!

All the black slave sailors selected by Drake were also caught on the shore, and the ship carrying the black slaves was abandoned on the shore. Hawkins and Drake and their cronies all dodged far away in several other big ships. While asking the sailors to disinfect the items with spirits, he prayed that Zhang Fan could save them.

Old Gail was scrubbing the cabin with a rag dipped in whiskey. The strong smell of alcohol on the ship made him salivate, and the burgundrum in his stomach had already squeaked with hunger! Many sailors, like him, see so much good wine being wasted on wood, and their hearts are more painful than meat. They are all those who would rather have no food than drink.

"Grandma, why don't you take out the golden rum in the captain's cabinet to scrub the deck?" Old Gail scolded, looked left and right at no one, so he got into the corner, held up the bottle, poured a mouthful of whisky into his mouth, quickly wiped his mouth with his dirty sleeves, and looked around sneakily to make sure that no one saw him, so he continued to wipe the cabin. Such behavior is taking place in every corner of each ship.

On the shore, a bonfire burned fiercely, and a thin body turned into ashes in the fire, which was the medium for indigenous wizards to spread this terrible plague. The strong indigenous wizard was worried, and he could hardly believe that those Orientals had a way to cure so many people infected by the hands of demons! I only have the ability to spread the plague. Once the plague spreads, I can't control it. The last time I cast a spell to curse the opponent's tribe, almost destroying the whole island!

Zhang Fan found that his ability could dispel these black diseases, but he was not in a hurry to cure these patients, but tried to control the spread of the disease. He must scare the Hawkins fleet away! With Zhang Fan's passive sluggishness, more crew members fell down, and Hawkins finally couldn't hold back...

"Your Excellency, you know that with the trust of Her Majesty, I must make a profit for her... Er, so it's up to you. Our fleet must go to the farther coast to trade... Of course, I'm sorry to leave you here, but I promise that Drake will help you choose the most expensive one. Diamonds and gems are for you. Please help me cure these black slaves..." Hawkins said to Zhang Fan with a shy face, "Well, you see, we are useless here, but increase your burden..."

"Is that how you repay our Baron?" Aken jumped up and asked loudly, "Your Majesty served your goods, but you slapped your buttocks!" Leave a lot of danger to him! Are these your gentlemanly manners?!"

"Uh..." Hawkins blushed by Aken's words, but he couldn't refute it, so he had to look at Zhang Fan eagerly.

Zhang Fan waved his hand and said, "Let's go. You really can't help here. In the past two days, I have thought of some treatment plans, which may be effective. Aken, you leave with the fleet first. It's really dangerous to stay here. You know that I can't let go of these indigenous people. After all, they are also human..."

At this time, Hawkins suddenly found that the baron's kindness was also lovely. If he regarded these black slaves as beasts as himself, I'm afraid he would have left long ago, and his black gold pounds would have died.

"Benevolence Lord - please protect this kind baron as you. The natives here need him..." Hawkins prayed loudly, and he was also worried that Zhang Fan would suddenly quit.

Zhang Fan smiled and said nothing. Naturally, he knew that Hawkins took advantage of his soft heart and couldn't see these indigenous diseases and death. He squeezed himself with words to stay to help him treat these black slaves. This kind of thing is right in your arms, and you can also make Hawkins a favor. Why not do it! However, when these indigenous people are cured by themselves, they will no longer be Hawkins' property.

When the two doctors accompanying the ship also fell ill, Hawkins fled with his fleet with his tail between his legs and a bereaved dog! He left all the sick numbers and two fast merchant ships, one large and one small, so that Zhang Fan could catch up with these black slaves after healing them. Of course, he is not sure of these indigenous people. In case the baron cures them and releases them all, he will still have no blood. So he left a team of musketeers on standby here.

Of course, this measure is also within the consideration of the Arkans. Although it is more troublesome, there is still a way to deal with it. And the team of musketeers are all composed of the unlikable sailors of the captain of Hawkins, and these sailors are even more disgusted with such a job. If it hadn't been for Hawkins' heavy money, no one would have been willing to stay. Even if he stayed, he camped far away in another bay and rarely came to have a look for fear of being infected by this terrible virus.

In order to avoid suspicion, Aken and Xuanyuanxing continued to drive open-wheeled sailboats to follow Hawkins' fleet to trade along the African coast. Green Wing and Dark Sakura stayed for Zhang Fan to treat patients. The book demon also stayed. His human appearance is very similar to Zhang Fan. Hawkins and Drake regard him as Zhang Fan's brother, and there is no doubt about him. The book demon seems to be very interested in this terrible witchcraft, and his essence is not afraid of various diseases.

Soon the book demon found the strong indigenous wizard. Under the introduction of Sarika, the indigenous wizard also remembered the knowledgeable Oriental and discussed the witchcraft of this primitive religion with him every day, and he also benefited from it. Because the book demon is not blindly asking for it, he also looks for something that the wizard can understand from his massive knowledge and teaches him a lot, and the two get along well with each other.

Under the control of the indigenous wizards, the musketeers left by Hawkins fell without any suspense, no matter how far they were stationed. After going to this big heart disease, Zhang Fan's treatment speed accelerated. However, those white people are better slower. Zhang Fan explained that the constitution of black slaves is different from that of white people and have natural resistance to this virus from the African wilderness.
