The captain displayed a frenzied hysteria, and his whole face was distorted. The wound on his leg was hastily tied with strips of cloth. At this time, due to his excitement, fresh blood seeped out along the gap.

He grabbed Paine's trouser leg and shouted loudly: "I can still save him! I was just shot in the thigh, a penetrating wound! The bullet is not stuck in the flesh! This does not require a clever doctor, just help me clean it Just bandage the wound and I can live! Why did you leave me here to die?"

Before Paine could kick the madman's hand away, a small group of military police heard the sound and discovered what was going on here. They ran towards Paine shouting and raised their rifles.

Paine raised his hands to show that he had no weapons, but this cooperative attitude did not lead to a corresponding friendly response. The small team of military police still did not lower their guns, but approached him with their guns raised.

"What are you doing here?" The leader of the military police looked very alert, "A civilian? This is not the place you should be."

"I mean no harm," Paine said, "I just—"

"You have to help me!" When the crazy captain saw the military police coming, he gave up grabbing Paine's trouser legs and crawled toward the military police who opened his mouth.

"Help me, I have important information! The southern army has colluded with a group of strange people. They know witchcraft! There are also some strange guns and weapons. When I was lying on the battlefield pretending to be dead, I heard them calling them The leader is the Fool! This is important information, and I want to report it to General Sherman personally!"

It seemed that other players had gathered around the Fool. Pann thought to himself, don't these players who were forcibly pulled into this mission have any grievances? He actually regarded the Fool as the leader.

The crazy captain's unexpected move caused a stir among the wounded around him - they didn't want to stay here and die, as their wounds were easily infected in this dirty environment.

"Shut up, soldier."

The military policeman gave the crazy captain a hard blow with the butt of his rifle, hitting him on the back of the head and knocking him unconscious.

"I don't want to hear any bullshit self-introduction. I believe the general knows much more detailed information than you do. Just stay here and wait for the ambulance to take you away! This is a military order!"

His fierce attitude calmed the wounded soldiers around him who were ready to move.

"You haven't answered yet, what are you doing here?"

The military policeman said to Paine fiercely.

Thanks to the human skin mask that Scarlett Hao took out from the cabinet, Paine no longer wore his true face at this time. He now had an ordinary white face. The yellow skin was too conspicuous in Atlanta. If Paine had used his original face Now that his face appears here, I'm afraid the military police will not ask questions in a friendly manner, but will directly shoot Paine.

"Everyone, I don't mean any harm." Paine said calmly.

"I'm a doctor. I just heard that there are many wounded soldiers in the city. The federal army may need me, so I came here."

"I didn't know there were doctors in Atlanta who would be enthusiastic about us. What's your name?" the military policeman grinned and sneered, obviously not believing Paine at all.

"Jason, Jason Statham." Paine said.

This name is certainly not false. No matter what era, doctors are a very technical profession. After the northern federal army captured the city of Atlanta, they registered all the doctors in Atlanta one by one. Many doctors with superb medical skills were semi-forced into the ranks of military doctors. For example, Dr. Meade, who stayed at Miss Pitty Pat's house, was one of the doctors who was forcibly recruited. It's just that the federal army couldn't force these doctors too much, so they didn't let them live in the military camp.

There were not many doctors in Atlanta, and many of them were taken away by the defeated army in the South. Therefore, there are only a handful of doctors in Atlanta at the moment, and they are all on the list of the federal army. Making up a name at random will definitely not be able to hide it from the military police.

But the name Jason Statham was given to him by Petey, who originally belonged to a crappy doctor in Atlanta. During the Atlanta offensive and defensive battle, he came out to watch the excitement and was unfortunately hit by a stray bullet and lost his life. For unknown reasons, Miss Pitty Pat used some means to conceal the matter and reported Jason Statham to Sherman as a living person.

If you ask, why is this matter not revealed? That's because Jason Statham's resume is too strange. Almost none of the seriously ill patients he took over survived. He treated no less than dozens of people to death in three years of medical practice. Even a common cold can turn into pneumonia at his hands, so Jason Statham is also known as the "Hands of Death" in Atlanta.

If Jason Statham's whole family hadn't been devout believers, I'm afraid he would have been tied to a cross and barbecued by superstitious and conservative people as an evil wizard! Seeing such a resume, who in their right mind would include him as a military doctor?

"Jason Statham?" The leading military policeman looked back, and a slightly younger looking military policeman nodded to him, and whispered something into the leading military policeman's ear.

The younger military policeman had fair skin, and his posture was ambiguous when talking to the leading military policeman, which made Paine suddenly think of the word "we are gay".

"Well, there is indeed a doctor named Jason Statham in Atlanta." The leader of the military police laughed after hearing the whisper, and gave Paine a slightly strange look. He obviously relaxed his vigilance and signaled the military police behind him to lower their guns aimed at Paine.

"But we didn't recruit you, how could you come here casually?"

"I just want to contribute to the federal army." Paine forced out a flattering expression.

There was a look of disdain in the eyes of the leading military policeman, and he obviously disapproved of Paine's softness, but he didn't say much.

"If that's the case, then you can come with us. You don't need to take care of the wounded soldiers here. There are more soldiers worthy of treatment in the temporary hospital."

Paine was full of suspicion but still followed the military police. Perhaps because of the "hand of death" reputation of the crappy doctor he played, the military police did not let him treat those with minor injuries, but why did they take him to a temporary hospital? These military police can't be spies from the South, trying to reduce the number of Northern federal troops without combat! There must be a conspiracy here!

Paine's expression remained unchanged, but in his heart he became more vigilant.

Following the military police around the open space full of wounded soldiers, and along the small land between the buildings, Paine finally came to a very ordinary-looking three-story building.

"You can't stop me! Do you know the freedom of the press? This does not involve military secrets, so what qualifications do you have to stop me!"

Before entering the building, an arrogant and domineering voice came from inside.

"Do you know who I am? How dare you stop me?!"
