765 Fish (1/2)
Early in the morning, the mercenary captain was topless, revealing his strong left shoulder, which was wrapped in bandages. He had a cool smile on his face.
After debriding and suturing Silva last night, the wound on the captain's left shoulder was also treated by Ma Yanlin. His shoulder was bruised when he stopped the assault boat, which was lighter than Silva's injury, but since he did not treat it at all, there were signs of swelling and inflammation.
Next to him was the dynamiter with a thigh injury. The dynamiter also had his thighs exposed, and his bulging muscles were wrapped tightly with white bandages. He took off his military trousers and put on a pair of Hawaiian shorts. If anyone just looked at his lower body, he will just look like an unlucky beach guest.
To the left of the mercenary captain was Silva, who was relieved from all his nervousness.
Silva had a bandage around his waist and looked as if he was shot. A nonchalant smile was on his face. He looked at the rising sun and said with a smile, ”Captain, since it's a free day, why don't we open up the roads to Cuba Town?”
”How do we open up the roads?” The captain squinted as he looked at the wide water and the mud around him. He acted so cordially that it was as if he was attending a kindergarten parent meeting.
Silva looked at the river which was several hundred meters wide and had no idea. He just licked his lips and said, ”Well, this is worth hundreds of thousands of dollars. It's a shame to not get it, considering it's money we can get without firing a single shot.”
”After the river is a valley, and now, it's all muddy. It may collapse all of a sudden. There is also the risk of mudflows. Even if we can pass through it, it's still not considered opening the road.” The captain looked at the direction of Cuba Town and calmly said, ”The original highway was destroyed, and there will be a lot of natural blockades. There's only just a few of us. If we want to clear a few miles long mountain road, the risk would be no less than firing a gun.”
”That's too wasteful,” Silva sighed and said a little reluctantly, ”I thought the commission for this trip could be doubled.”
”We have arrived at the scheduled location. If we continue to protect Doctor Ling, the money would be enough for you to enjoy life for several months. Let's protect our lives.” The captain did not by any means want to risk any lives. Although the distance between Cuba Town and Guozheng Charity Hospital was close, after the torrential rain, flood, and mudflows, the smooth journey that only required a few minutes of driving had become a dangerous area that was difficult to pass. Under the circumstances where there was no help from a construction vehicle, he did not think it was possible to open up a road.
Perhaps the team that was going to Cuba Town to borrow some manpower and equipment would have a plan, but the captain had no intention of opening up the road.
It was precisely because the hospital was dangerous and the chances of getting the reward were small that the captain took the initiative to come to the hospital.
As the manager of the team, he planned the entire operation carefully, and fortunately, the results were good. The hospital was also more comfortable than expected.
”It's almost time, I'm going to cook some fish.” The dynamiter looked at his watch, took a deep breath, and a smile inevitably appeared on his face. ”Today's weather is not bad.”
The captain and Silva looked out at the same time. The rain seemed to be a little lighter than yesterday, but that just meant that it had regressed from a storm to heavy rain. Moreover, since it was a sunshower, the air was abnormally hot and humid.
However, the smile on the dynamiter's face was very genuine.
”The last time I saw him laugh like this was when there were three burning tank cars in front of him.” Silva shook his head. ”He won't burn up the kitchen, right?”
The captain laughed. ”Don't worry, the thing that the boy does best is use fire. When he was fourteen, he burned the neighbor's barn and put it out before the fire could get to his own house.”
”How did he do that?”
”He bought something at the border, and when the fire came over, he blew it out with an explosion. It was said that no fire extinguisher was used. As for this, I think he's exaggerating things.”
Silva was surprised. ”He's very quiet when he fishes, I never imagined that he would have such a childhood.”
”It's presumably because waiting for the enemy to step on mines is similar to fishing.”
Silva thought about it and nodded in approval.

Early in the morning, Ling Ran took Ma Yanlin along to do the ward rounds. When they finished, the restaurant was already packed full of food.
Brazil was a country with abundant resources and lived up to its name as a land rich with resources. As a result, their dining tables had always been filled with plenty of food, and even when they were trapped in a hospital, the restaurant still offered buffets.
However, the dishes served today were still mainly fish and beef.
Based on the weight of the Zebu, it was still impossible to finish eating the one slaughtered the day before, and the fish were all freshly caught.
