*Vroom vroom vroom.*

The international machine factory made really loud noises as they were making roads in the mountains.

And there were a bunch of dumbfounded cows working diligently behind them.

Naldo had half of his body covered in bandages, but even then, he still boldly snapped pictures with a camera. What he wanted to shoot was actually the picture of a corpse, but after missing three toes, he could only snap pictures according to where the lady pushing his wheelchair pushed him to, and Naldo could not make any decisions about it.

“Mariana, Mariana!” Naldo snapped a few photos, and he began to feel bored. He could not help but shout.

“Please be seated for a little longer.” Mariana was in her forties and had a small farm at home, so she was strong. Not to mention, she had wide hips.

All the residents of the town were called into action.

Those who could drive heavy-duty vehicles were the main force. In addition, cowboys would try to drive the cattle and do some transportation work.

A woman like Mariana was called as a ‘strong woman’ by Tian Guozheng, and she was also included in the team. The hard labor she had to do was no less than a man’s.

Of course, in this town of more than a thousand people, there was not much labor to do. Some of the work included transporting the injured insurance agent, and pushing his wheelchair around was considered one of her tasks.

However, while the mayor and the others cared about him, Mariana did not. After pushing his wheelchair around for the day, she lost her patience for the fat man who only knew how to shout while holding his mobile phone. At this moment, Mariana was more willing to chat with the owner of the adult s*x toy store rather than pushing the fat man around.

Naldo also felt bored after he yelled for some time. So, he held up his camera and took more pictures of the cattle.

Once upon a time, Brazil also used animal labor for construction. But that was a really long time ago. Even with Naldo’s age, he had never seen a group of cattle working hard in the field of construction.

Especially the expensive Zebu.

The only reason ranchers paid so much money for good cattle breeds and put in so much effort to produce their feed was so that they would get some delicious beef. It had been a long time since the people were willing to let their cows work hard.

The people looked for a high proportion of fat and the so-called marbling in today’s beef. To achieve such an effect, one must let the cattle be raised in a very ideal lifestyle. Not only did they have to eat comfortably, but they also had to exercise in an appropriate amount. In fact, they could not even undergo any sort of mental pressure.

A good quality Zebu should live like a middle-aged man in a small town. It should eat more and eat seriously. It did not need to care too meticulously about its life, but could not be too crude either. I practically did not need to exercise, but could not completely remain still. It would be best for it to take a walk after its daily activities, pretending to keep its body fit as it slowly accumulated fat. In terms of its mental condition, it should also give priority to relaxation, and occasionally be a little tense, perhaps at the level of people being tense in a karaoke session.

For Zebu, who lived in modern ranches, the idea of working and sweating was like an ancient story which only existed in their memories because the story was passed down through oral form, just like how a middle-aged man in a small town was remembered.

Naldo held on the shutter and took a bunch of photos. He turned and took another bunch of photos. He then turned again…

Naldo saw Tian Qi.

Tian Qi was tall and beautiful, and she was dressed in tight-fitting working clothes.

She stood there proudly on a hillock with a yellow safety helmet. There were a few interim engineers behind her. They also had two satellite phones with them.

Naldo knew that Tian Qi communicated with designers and engineers from many countries in China and Europe through the satellite phones every day to maintain swift progress and also to modify the plan in time.

Even if it was to open up a channel for the town, there were still some people who would be lazy, try to slack off, or use plausible excuses for them to slack off. Whenever this happened, they would need to face with world-class engineers and senior technical workers and be held accountable.

Workers who failed in the debate often had to talk for a long period of time with the review team composed of Tian Guozheng’s mayor and its residents. When they returned to their posts, they would usually be able to bring out unimaginable power.

Naldo adjusted the focus and took dozens of Tian Qi’s photos in one go.

Naldo could not help but sigh as he lowered his camera.

“It’s through!”

Somewhere at the front, an excited exclamation suddenly sounded, and it gradually became louder.

Naldo’s reporter instinct was activated in a flash, and he hurriedly shouted, “What’s through? Is the road cleared?”

“Of course the road is clear.” The strong Mariana came up, stepped on Naldo’s wheelchair brake, and said, “Let’s go to the front.”

Then, she transported Naldo to her MPV.

Mariana’s MPV was also the reason why she was given the task of transporting the reporter. Only a few town residents bought this kind of business car because they preferred pickup trucks. However, Mariana had four children. Now, with Tian Qi working together with her, Mariana’s children were sent to the town’s nursery so that Mariana had more time to participate in the construction.

“Is the road repaired?” Naldo asked again.

Mariana nodded. “China’s road repairing skills are very impressive.”

“The road was built by the people in your town, why do you say that the Chinese are great?” Naldo was unhappy.

Marina grinned. “Aren’t you a Brazilian? Haven’t you seen a Brazilian project before?”

Naldo kept quiet.

“Bring the insurance agent over.” A man in a black bodysuit and had a walkie-talkie in his hands ran toward them briskly.

Naldo held onto his camera and suddenly felt a little nervous. “What do you want?”

“To suture your toes.” The man in the black bodysuit stuck his head into the car, glanced at Naldo, and said, “There is a doctor in Guozheng Charity Hospital who can suture your toes.”

Naldo’s expression tensed up. He could not help but remember his own toes being cut off yesterday.

He also remembered that general practitioner who was obviously a little bonkers.

“I want to go to Rio de Janeiro for surgery.” Naldo quickly stated his stance on the matter.

“It’s up to you.” The man who came to inform them was not bothered. He turned his head around and put his rain hat over his head. Then he said, “I heard that it’s hard to suture toes after a day it was severed. The passageway between Cuba and the outside world hasn’t been opened yet.”

“Wait…” Naldo called out to the other person. “I want to go to the hospital to consult a doctor.”

He comforted himself. ‘There must be a corpse in the hospital for me to take a picture.’

…..

An hour later, Naldo’s car arrived at Guozheng Charity Hospital.

Just like Cuba Town, Guozheng Charity Hospital was surrounded by water, sludge, and garbage.

The difference was that there were a few plumes of smoke rising from the hospital, and there were faint laughter and music coming from it.

After that, he could smell the strong scent of roasted beef.

“It’s like a party.” Mariana, who was driving, smelled the scent and smiled. “A ranch owner’s party. I hope there are still rib eyes left.”

“They might also be burning bodies and covering them up with the taste of beef.” Naldo looked out of the window, but he was not calm at all. He risked his life to come here. This was his last hope.

Mariana did not even look at Naldo’s expression. She smiled and shook her head. “They can’t be burning corpses. When you burn corpses, it doesn’t smell like this, and when you burn it together with beef, it won’t produce such a smell.”

Naldo trembled and stared at the rancher lady.

“Alright, I sent you to the hospital. Go get your toes reconnected.” Mariana found a place to park and sashayed toward the direction where the music came from.

Naldo was a few seconds late. He did not even have time to call her.

After a long time, two care workers came over slowly.

“Severed toes?” the care worker asked.

Naldo nodded vigorously.

“Did you bring the toes?”

“Yes, yes.” Mariana already prepared it for Naldo, who quickly took out his toes out of the incubator.

“Alright, go for your surgery.” The care workers pushed Naldo away.

Naldo quickly craned his neck like a duck in a cage while he looked left and right.

Compared to the chaos outside the hospital, the inside of the hospital could be said to be very clean and tidy.

There were patients waiting to get their medicine in the hall, patients who were receiving rehabilitation, and patients taking a stroll.

Patients’ families either moved about between the hall and corridors, took care of patients, or chatted while they helped out.

The peaceful atmosphere in the hospital made Naldo frown in a troubled manner.

Then, he met the Ling My-Middle-Name-Is-Tall-Handsome-And-Stylish Ran.

Naldo could not help but lifted his camera and took eight shots of Ling Ran in one go.

“Put the camera away,” Ling Ran whispered, “Take all the bandages off and clean the wound.”

“We’re being so wasteful?” Ma Yanlin looked at Naldo and whispered, “He’ll be wasting bandages.”

“Cuba Town has a pharmacy. We have bandages and disinfectants now,” Ling Ran said. He then said with a hint of relief, “Clean and disinfect the operating theater, ward, recovery room, corridors, and all other places.”

Ma Yanlin was in shock. He then said, “We only have a few people…”

“You can ask for Cuba Town’s aid,” Ling Ran exhaled again, looked at Naldo, who was next to him and said, “Five hours. After five hours, bring the patient to me.”

Naldo looked up and was well-behaved.
