Forty-eight hours before Li Jie and others confronted Magneto.
Chile, South America.
After a shaky seven-hour flight, Strange felt like his whole body was about to fall apart. Compared to the various aircraft he had taken before, whether it was the first-class cabin of civil aircraft such as the Airbus A380 or the Boeing 747, the comfort of this modified Il-76 transport plane from the former Soviet Union was extremely poor.
Because the load capacity of the plane was limited, and the necessary load was used to carry food and medicine, so it was naturally not very good in terms of sitting.
After all, a sofa in the first-class cabin of civil aviation weighed nearly a hundred kilograms. For cargo, this kind of sofa was too much of a waste of weight just for sitting.
Doctors Without Borders was a completely non-profit organization, and most of the organization's expenses came from donations.
So it was impossible for them to add large and comfortable chairs in this kind of aircraft that transported people and goods. Anyway, the iron chairs left over from the former Soviet Union, leaning against the sides of the cabin wall, and wrapped in leather, could still be used. So there was no need to update with a better set of chairs at all.
That was how Strange followed this Il-76 from other countries in South America to Chile. There was a stop in Brazil in the middle, so the whole journey was long for seven hours. Strange felt that his butt was about to be shaken apart by the steel chair.
He was a doctor, not a professionally trained soldier, and this kind of hard work was really not what he was good at.
But the long journey finally came to an end, and they finally arrived at Valparaiso, Chile. Sam, who was sent by Doctors Without Borders to be Strange's assistant, patted him on the shoulder.
"Doctor, we're here." Sam looked at Strange with his eyes closed and thought that Strange was asleep.
Strange waved his hand and pushed Sam away. "I'm awake, don't disturb me. The soundproofing quality of this broken plane is so bad, I'm a little nervous now. "
Sam shook his head helplessly. "Then I'll arrange for someone to unload first."
Sam's so-called unloading referred to a considerable number of vaccines from the United States and Europe. These included vaccines for malaria and dengue, a common disease in South America. Chile was considered a relatively good country in South America, so except for a small number of vaccines that were given to medical institutions in poor areas of Chile, most of the vaccines were transported through Chile to other more remote and poor countries.
Sam directed the porters to move the important medicines. It was important to know that the price of any vaccine was not cheap. In this world, medical resources were getting more and more expensive.
As a veteran who had served Doctors Without Borders for five years, Sam was very grateful to the donor of this batch of drugs. That's right, Lancher Medical and Chemical Group.
He wanted to thank them for donating more than 30 million USD worth of drugs, including antibiotics and various vaccines, to Doctors Without Borders at one time. It was said that they would continue to donate tens of millions of USD worth of drugs in the future.
Sam still remembered the words of the Lanchelle Chemical Group representative: "Give these drugs to those who need them!"
Every time Sam thought of the fact that there were such generous rich people in the world who were willing to donate to the medical cause of mankind, he felt even more motivated to work.
When the medicine was being transported, Strange finally recovered from his nervous breakdown.
Strange shook his head. "Sam, I was supposed to go to Eastern Europe. Compared with Eastern Europe, which is a mess because of the war, Chile is already considered an advanced country. I think Medecins Sans Frontiers made a mistake. "
Sam looked at Strange, who was covering his head, and said, "Doctor, sometimes we need to make some compromises. The rich man in South America donated nearly 20 million USD worth of various supplies to our organization. His only request was that the organization could consider sending some excellent doctors to guide and improve the medical level here.
"To be honest, it's hard to refuse such a request. And there are many poor places in South America. Capitalists buy mines at a cheap price and then hire local people to mine at a cheap price. Moreover, the labor intensity and labor indicators in many mines and plantations are very unreasonable. In fact, there are a lot of places that need us here. Because many miners or plantation workers don't have the money to go to the hospital, "Sam explained.
"Alright." Strange nodded in understanding. "If that's the case, then so be it. When will Sam start work? "
"It's scheduled to start tomorrow. We'll give priority to a plantation dozens of kilometers away. First, we'll vaccinate the workers against dengue and malaria. Check if anyone here has AIDS, and other detailed work will be carried out gradually later. "Sam gave a general outline of the itinerary.
"As for you, Doctor, except for a free clinic with us tomorrow, you'll be in the local hospital for the rest of the day. After all, your skills must be matched by professional equipment. "
Strange waved his hand. "I see. In that case, I'll go buy a cup of coffee first. I hope there's a place at this airport that sells Starbucks coffee, and preferably not with the terrible amount of sugar in South America. "
Strange's work in South America had just begun. This was his volunteer doctor's journey. Here, he was no longer an authoritative figure in Lancet or Western Medicine. He was just a doctor without any other identities.
Face the patient, find out the cause, cure it, or give up. He was no longer an omnipotent doctor. Although he had to face failure, for the first time, Strange felt that he was not so stressed.
… …
Time: When Magneto attacked the Hydra gold mine. Location: Bermuda.
Red Skull Schmidt got another piece of bad news. The Hydra gold mine located on the border of Chile in South America was attacked by the Mutants Brotherhood. And it's likely to be lost.
The loss of the gold mine only cost a part of the money, but the loss of the associated rare earth mines is a big loss for Hydra.
Now it is becoming more and more difficult to buy rare earth minerals worldwide. If they lose their own mines, it will be difficult to buy rare earth minerals without being noticed. Hydra is still an underground organization.
Red Skull pressed the button to communicate with Dr. Rice. "Dr. Rice, you reported to me a month ago. Sentinel 1 has begun mass production. This plan has cost us a lot of money, and I hope to see results. "
Dr. Rice on the other end of the communication said, "Nature's Leader, we now have more than 70 sentinel robots that can be used."
