"Isn't that a legitimate reason?" Kanna waved her small hand, retracting her weapon, which transformed into a hammer and was slung over her shoulder.
"Legitimate my ass! If you don't want to say, don't make up such an outrageous reason..." It was the first time the young woman had heard of someone disliking another person just because of their name.
"So you dislike Thor the person?"
"No, I just feel he's unworthy, but his name was given by his parents, so it's not his fault. And I'm not the kind of official who would force someone to change their name just because it's taboo."
Kanna didn't want to reveal that this guy was the culprit who killed Anto in her memory. After all, with her presence, let alone a core of a gramophone, Kanna was confident in protecting Anto's life even when facing Londinium's city defense cannons.
At this moment, Thorwald opened the kitchen door, and a foul stench immediately wafted out, almost making him faint.
Only after he entered did he understand why the girl at the door called him an unlucky fellow. This guy, somehow, had gotten his pants all messy. The crucial part was that he was tied to a stool and couldn't move. After being suffocated by the smell all night, he was almost fully marinated.
Fortunately, this was the kitchen. Although the city's power was cut due to the natural disaster, the water was still running. Thorwald pulled a hose from the side, then, pinching his nose, he unleashed a fierce spray of water on the man.
It was summer, and the weather was hot, so he wasn't worried that the other party would catch a cold from it.
Hit by the stream of water from behind, the man woke from his semi-conscious state, thinking it was a new form of torture devised by those girls. Unable to see the person behind him, he screamed and confessed all the crimes he had committed over the years, from stealing an old lady's bread to snatching lollipops from elementary school students.
Thorwald, listening from behind, had a dark expression. He hadn't expected this guy's private life to be so sordid.
Not wanting to listen to this guy's babbling any longer, Thorwald walked behind him and with a single chop to the neck, the man, who was teetering on the edge of a breakdown, finally fell unconscious again.
He looked at the man with disdain, and thinking of the excrement and urine all over him, Thorwald had no desire to touch this unlucky fellow. After surveying his surroundings, he grabbed two steel rods, nearly a meter long, from nearby. He propped the man up from behind, didn't bother greeting anyone at the front door, and simply exited the hotel through the back door.
After he left, the young woman pointed to the back door and said,
"I think this young man is quite good; he knows it's not ideal to go through the front in this situation. If it were me, I'd at least have to pass through the front here. After all, I've already been disgusted, so it shouldn't be just me who's disgusted..."
Hearing the young woman's words, Kanna gave her a disdainful glance, but then, on second thought, she probably would have done something similar herself... A short while later, Folinic and Tatyana returned. From Folinic's visibly more energetic expression, one could guess that the area Captain Sefirin had allocated must be very good, making Folinic, who had been frowning ever since the natural disaster struck, considerably happier.
"Swing Plaza is less than a kilometer from here, and the area Captain Sefirin planned is also very large. I've made a preliminary estimate, and it can probably provide on-site treatment for nearly three hundred people..." Folinic said excitedly.
"Wait! Three hundred people? Are you crazy? Don't forget, the only doctors here right now are you and Anto. Forget three hundred, even thirty people would exhaust both of you to death," Kanna immediately interrupted after hearing Folinic's words.
Although she didn't understand medicine, having been on Rhodes Island for so long, even if she didn't know how to treat, she understood how troublesome it was to treat and care for a patient. However, their small team only had Folinic and Anto as professional doctors, plus Blue Poison, who was out and hadn't returned, counting as half, and not a single nurse.
With such medical capability, setting up three hundred beds at once was not only making a joke of the patients but also of the doctors.
"I know that. I already told Miss Tatyana that Wolumonde will provide us with support, arranging all doctors and nurses who can treat oripathy to come here, turning this into a dedicated Infected zone. This will also prevent Infected people from having to search everywhere for doctors for treatment in this situation.
I've estimated that with Wolumonde's overall strength, it wouldn't be difficult to gather enough medical personnel to manage three hundred patients."
Hearing Kanna's words, Folinic realized she hadn't been clear and had caused a misunderstanding, so she quickly explained again.
Kanna finally breathed a sigh of relief after Folinic finished explaining. If Folinic and Anto really had to manage and treat so many patients, Kanna would probably choose to knock them both out, leave the medicine there, and then drive away in an empty car.
After all, saving people is one thing, but if she got herself caught up in it, Kaltsit would scold her to death back at Rhodes Island.
Tatyana chatted with Folinic and Anto for a while, mainly with Folinic and Anto talking and Tatyana taking notes. After all, setting up such a large treatment facility specifically for the Infected requires resources and manpower that one or two people cannot resolve. It is only because, under the current circumstances, Wolumonde has only Sephyrin as its highest official, so he can completely run a dictatorship to the extent that the citizens can accept it. Otherwise, if there were more officials, and some interests were involved, quickly starting a large-scale medical project after the disaster would likely encounter many problems.
After trusting Rhodes Island's professionalism in treating the Infected, Tatyana meticulously recorded all of Folinic and Anto's requirements, which she would then report to Sephyrin.
Such a massive undertaking, even if temporarily set up without regard for the environment, requires considerable manpower and resources, not to mention gathering the city's doctors and nurses.
After the discussion, Folinic felt that her group should go to Swing Plaza first, because time waits for no one. Even without asking, it was clear that many more Infected had appeared in the city after this natural disaster, and many people's conditions were not stable, requiring urgent Block treatment. Otherwise, if the active oripathy within their bodies grew rapidly, it was highly possible that an ordinary person could become a human bomb ready to explode in a very short time.
Kanna did not refuse this suggestion. After all, talk is cheap, and no matter how much was said to Sephyrin, it was better for their side to achieve results. If Sephyrin wanted the city's stability, then after witnessing the excellence of the Rhodes Island group, he would naturally allocate resources towards them.
Soon, under the watchful eyes of Wolumonde's residents along the way, the convoy drove out from the inn, carefully avoiding the cracks in the road, and arrived at Swing Plaza.
Even though the team was cooperating for the first time, under the command of two experienced medical Operators, an initial treatment facility was quickly set up.
