The rescue in Port Massa has ended, and what is left is the social aftermath. Vertex 23S. The fastest update is about the aftermath of society.
Any event related to human beings has this characteristic that embodies the glorious part of humanity sung by human individuals, usually occupying only a small part of the event. Here, it is the rescue operation that unites everyone.
Once this part is over, all that remains is who will pay for the destroyed artifacts, who will compensate for the digitized casualties, who will repair the damage caused, and finally, who will have the honor to stand up in public Chanting, let’s move forward.
Don't despair, this is a good thing. No matter how much individual human nature can be condensed, it can't take us very far, can it? It is society that brings us to civilization. A look at history shows that if we let human nature control us, we will not progress at all.
Here, I am downgrading the role of human nature in society without any malice in order to defend Zach.
Zach made a mistake. He should have taken over the task of the green injury card. He should have used the power of Toledo when he found out that there were Westerners in Barton asking about the vampire blood trade. He should have tried his best to, well, at least try to stop them... Or bottom line, he should go help Murphy.
This won't correct the mistake, but it will at least give Zach peace of mind that he tried, and didn't find out afterwards that the situation had gotten so bad without some effort.
Understandable, those Westerners who exported information about the existence of a 'universal cure' did nothing wrong. It was human nature that made them seek something that could help everyone when faced with disaster.
As a result, Barton's society will begin to deal with the consequences of this 'rumor' that has been spread.
Zach is in the hospital. The vampires set off from Grande, with Frank following Zach and the others back to Grande.
The reason Frank is here is because the Sabbat vampires from Allen Funeral, headed by Hamilton, are also in the hospital.
As you all know, there is a drama to be performed.
"We need a list of the wounded," Hamilton said to Frank. "There are citizens here from the west who have the right to proper medical care."
Zach stopped Frank before he could speak, "This is Barton. The 'correct treatment' is in the hospital, waiting for the doctor..."
Zach was interrupted by Frank, talking about acting, "Toledo, I remember your human brother working in the hospital, hmm, list, now."
"Mr. Gilberg, no offense, but this is Barton, not the West. The social laws set by the Sabbat..." Zach was trying to resist the order.
Of course, he was interrupted again, "I said it, now."
Zach shut up with a look of discomfort on his face and went to find Derek.
There’s not much to say about Zach’s movements. We stayed here in Frank and Hamilton.
Vampires, except for Zach now, would not be too comfortable in the hospital. They are now in the waiting area of the hospital, covered by the chaotic and noisy crowd, so that no one pays attention to them.
Hamilton watched Zach leave and said to Frank with a somewhat uncomfortable expression, "When the news reported the incident, I called my father. It was my father's order to open blood trading channels for the Westerners in Barton. .”
Frank gave a proud expression, "My son's decision is naturally the right one~"
Hamilton was about to speak, but was preempted by Nenad, "But I don't mean any offense, sir!" The tone was a bit harsh, "We are people who have lived in Barton for nearly half a year, and we know Barton better than your son. Do this. It’s wrong!”
Frank was a little surprised. It turned out that these people did not agree with Lutresembra's order. However, the play still had to be performed, because it was just for Root to see. "No offense? Are you saying that my decision was wrong?" This tone was not a question.
Frank crossed his arms with a gloomy expression, "You are Nenad of Cappadocia, right? I remember you. It was you who defended Toledo in Grande's office last time."
Nenad's face looked very ugly and he took a step back.
Hidrefro did something that surprised both Hamilton and Nenad, "Of course Lesembra's order is not wrong." He looked at Nenad, then at Hamilton, and finally His eyes met Frank's cautious eyes, and then he lowered his head in a respectful manner, "But I think what Nenad wants to express is that this is Barton after all, and Barton's most important resource for our Sabbat now is that unexpected strength..." Sid also added, "The mayor can help us block the Republican Secret Alliance in the future."
Sid paused and glanced at Frank cautiously to observe the other party's attitude. He did not find that Frank meant to interrupt, "If we want to safeguard the rights of humans from the west in Barton, we should respect the mayor's Opinion."
Frank looked at Sid with a thoughtful expression, "Is Revro's Sid right? Humph." There was no follow-up.
No follow-up was already the best response. Sid continued, "We came here to wait for Toledo. We guessed that he would come over to help his human brothers. In fact, our purpose is just to inform, no matter Toledo Regardless of the mayor's attitude towards the vampire blood trade, we will all carry out the orders, it's just a matter of overt and covert differences."
Nenad seemed to want to say something again and was about to speak again, but Hamilton stopped him and said with a very suggestive look, "You should know that Toledo and Mayor Anthony are friends."
Frank raised his eyebrows and looked at Hamilton, "You are implying that all you need is for Toledo to leave here temporarily and give you time to act."
Hamilton nodded and said something that should surprise everyone, "We have got the list of injured, from my future daughter, Aesera."
"She~" Frank raised his eyebrows and slightly curved his mouth. Because of two reasons, one is that the play requires it. After all, Aisela is a descendant of Lesembra, and she has been working quietly for the Lesembra clan when she was still a human. It is naturally worthy of recognition. The second reason is that this woman is really good, and she is very good at making trouble for herself. Do you think there is still a little doubt about the Sabbat's loyalty to Aisela now? It's no wonder that Frank is unhappy with such a restless woman in the Lesembra clan. Ethera can be incorporated into Frank's great cause of taking over the Sabbat.
Hamilton continued, "And she is now participating in the arrangements for the aftermath of Mayor Anthony. We believe that with her here, even if Toledo is very resistant to the vampire blood transaction, Mayor Anthony has a high chance of making the right decision." Decide."
Frank smiled, "It doesn't matter if you make the wrong decision, you're done with it, right~"
Hamilton nodded and continued to hold down Nenad, who was trying to commit suicide. Sid also helped.
Frank looked satisfied and stopped talking, waiting for Zach to come back.
Zach came back, holding a later document that he didn't want to hand over, "This is the list of the injured this time..."
Frank took it directly and handed it to Hamilton, with a downward tone, "My son is not an unreasonable person. He also ordered you to inform your mayor..." What a perfect acting skill, "Anthony , right." He also glanced at Hamilton.
Hamilton didn't dare to look at Zach and nodded.
Zach was inevitably in pain, "Now?" His eyes were fixed on the list of injured in Hamilton's hand. It wasn't an explosion of acting skills, but the overlap between drama and reality. Zach knew that once he left, Hamilton would start action.
Quite fittingly, a cry broke out from the other side of the waiting area, "No!! My husband!! No!! My husband!!!"
Then, a group of nurses stopped the woman who was trying to attack the doctor.
Frank looked at Zach and said, "What if." His acting expression softened a little, "Are you going to wait until more people die?"
Zach turned and walked away.
We still don’t look at Zach. Why, Murphy has revealed the fact that in this situation, some 'rumors' that are actually facts cannot be blocked. Therefore, no matter what Zach does, it will not affect anything.
On the contrary, to create the current development trend, Zach hopes that Anthony will support the rights of western citizens to obtain blood trading. At least, they will not continue to ask everywhere.
Frank and Hamilton, who were still in the hospital, began to divide their work. The injured personnel documents that Zach brought were simply thrown away and useless. Mercy Hospital in the North District was not the only hospital in Barton, and Aisela's list was even more comprehensive.
Hamilton said, "According to the original plan, Revro, you will be in charge of the hospitals in the West District, Nenad, and the South District."
The extra people left again, and only the grandfather and grandson were left here. Everyone has their own plans, it just depends on who can seize the opportunity better.
Hamilton was the first to speak, "I haven't introduced myself properly yet. We met before when I was still a human."
Frank looked at Hamilton's face and asked, "Are you a soldier during the colonial war?"
"I am." Hamilton nodded respectfully.
Frank looked thoughtful, but he was more observing their route of action. Hamilton seemed to know exactly where he was going. The sign he passed indicated that he was going to the emergency center, "Soldier." It was not a compliment, either. No derogatory meaning.
"I remember that for a while, you often appeared in the camp of human soldiers. Some of us (soldiers) were lucky enough to be alone with you and be treated by you. I am one of the lucky ones."
It sounds like Hamilton is trying to win the favor of this clan ancestor by reminiscing about the past.
"Really?" Frank didn't look at Hamilton again. The reason was that Frank didn't remember seeing Hamilton, even though the colonial war was not that long ago in Frank's memory. Haha, but I believe someone has already thought of it:
Frank was not there to save the colonial soldiers. He was in the camp of human soldiers for one thing only: looking for the reward that the Holy Lord buried in the surnames of those soldiers!
After seeing so many soldiers, Frank couldn't remember a single Hamilton.
Emergency center, "xx!" Hamilton suddenly shouted his name loudly.
On a hospital bed, a burn patient who was being treated responded.
Hamilton passed over and glanced at the doctor who was treating the wound, "You can go."
The doctor looked up at Hamilton and Frank and said calmly, "Family members, please stay in the waiting area..."
Hamilton pressed the doctor's shoulder. The doctor was stunned for a moment, looked at the bed in confusion, and walked away.
Frank raised his eyebrows and looked at Hamilton again, "For a third-generation Lesembula, huh, bold."
Explain what happened so that everyone can understand Frank's comment. Hamilton injected a piece of blood into the doctor's body that contained the message that the patient did not exist.
Bold means that the information injected by Hamilton directly conflicts with the doctor's senses. The effect of this information will not last long.
"I don't need permanent effects." Hamilton pursed his lips, "As long as the facts match the information, I need to hurry up." Hamilton faced the burned person, "Do you know what I am?"
"Lesembra?"
"Correct." Hamilton confirmed, "You know the process, just quote." There was no delay at all.
"I, I can't afford the price of Lesembra..."
Tsk.
Frank looked on, eyebrows raised, not ready to penetrate.
"You may also need to understand that this is Barton, a city in the eastern part of the Federation, so you have to pay additional fees." Hamilton glanced at the other beds. Some nurses had already noticed that there were no doctors caring for the beds here. , shouting, 'Who is responsible for the sex bed? ? 'So Hamilton really needs to hurry up. 'You have five seconds to make a decision.' He gave the patient an ultimatum.
"me… "
"Four, three, two, one."
Hamilton turned and walked away, "xx!" When the second name was called out, the doctor who had walked away in a daze ran back again, looked at Hamilton strangely, and then continued to treat the wound of the patient...
Frank looked a little strange. Regardless of the necessary extravagance, Frank knows that Hamilton's heart is actually towards Zach, but now, Frank has a hard time judging whether Hamilton is helping Zach or...
Frank frowned and asked, "That's it?"
Hamilton had already walked towards the second injured person who responded, and did not ignore Frank's question, "Yeah."
Frank remained a silent spectator for the time being, the same conversation
"... Quote... Because here Patton... you have five seconds..."
"xx!" Hamilton called out the third name when the second transaction failed.
Frank frowned and spoke again, "If you don't save a single Westerner, what's the point of upsetting Mayor Toledo and Mayor Barton?" This question has a literal meaning, and it also has a meaning that allows Frank to judge that Hamilton is in disguise. Help Zach, or... There is really a problem in western society!
The third person did not respond for the time being. Hamilton had time to answer the question from the clan ancestor: "Do you know why we are here?" In the way of asking questions, he handed Frank a list by the way, "There are injuries on it. Westerners who are in more serious condition are those who were rescued from Port Massa and sent directly to the operating room.”
Frank glanced at it but said nothing.
"Because people during the operation are unconscious." Hamilton answered, "This means that the other party will not know how much money they will pay to save their own human lives." Hamilton glanced at Frank, "The purpose has never been It’s not about saving people. There are a lot of people, and the number of people consumed in one disaster has no impact at all on our food reserves.”
Frank understands, the purpose is just to show humans the fact that vampires are above you.
Do Westerners have access to the vampire blood trade
We have analyzed rights very thoroughly before, haven’t we? Rights are things that humans create society and society gives to humans. For the West, society is vampire.
