“Someone’s dead!”

“Someone died! Covered in blisters!”

The pirate’s expression changed. “Get out of the way!”

They walked over to look at the body, their expressions grave. “Get the ship’s doctor!”

These pirates weren’t brainless. They understood the danger of the plague and immediately took action.

They were simple and crude: they forced everyone to take off their clothes and be inspected. Anyone with symptoms was taken away and thrown into the sea.

Tatiana and her group had taken precautions beforehand. None of them were infected, and they were temporarily relieved.

Someone watched their relative get dragged away and, in their despair, pointed at them and shouted, “It must have been them! The sickness started as soon as they got on board! They’re the ones who brought this curse!”

In an instant, everyone looked at Tatiana and Alita, who were being protected by their companions.

Alita wanted to bite their heads off.

But the accuser grew more animated, shouting, “Grab them and throw them into the sea! They’re the ones who brought this disease!”

The pirates looked over. Two of them came and seized Tatiana and Alita.

Their companions wanted to fight back, but Tatiana stopped them with a look.

“Two women? Throw them overboard.”

They were just salvaged cargo; the pirates wouldn’t feel the loss.

Alita’s face turned pale. “It wasn’t us!!”

The pirates wouldn’t listen, dragging them up to be thrown off.

Tatiana suddenly spoke, “At the rate this is spreading, in less than three days, everyone down here will be dead. You’ve also had contact with the infected. The virus will spread among you, too.”

The pirates paid her no mind, continuing to drag them up.

“I have a way to save you.”

“Wait. Let her go.”

A man with one eye missing walked out. The surrounding pirates‘ expressions became respectful.

“Captain.”

“Captain, this woman must be lying to save her skin. Don’t believe her.”

“That’s right, besides, we have a doctor!”

The captain sneered. “A doctor? You mean this waste of space?”

Pinto

As he spoke, two pirates dragged out a body from behind him like a dead dog. It was the doctor who had been panicking just moments ago. He was now covered in blood, long dead.

“A treacherous dog.”

Everyone looked at each other, stunned.

This was the only doctor on the ship, one they had captured from someone else.

Tatiana glanced at the body, then turned back. “So, you need a doctor now. As it happens, I am one.”

“How can I believe you?”

“If I’m not, you can throw me into the sea at any time. It’s no loss to you.”

The captain laughed. “You’re brave, miss. Fine, I’ll trust you this once. If you lie to me… believe me, death will be the easy part. The hard part is a fate worse than death.”

She certainly believed these pirates had their methods of torture.

“I know.”

“Let her go.”

C

She was freed and made a request. “I want my companions to be safe as well. After all, you don’t want your cargo to suffer too high a loss, do you?”

The captain nodded again. “Fine. I’ll have my men cooperate with you. But remember, if the death toll increases too much by tomorrow, you won’t get a second chance.”

Alita was also released, but she wasn’t happy at all. She stuck close to Tatiana and whispered, “Can you really cure it?”

“I can’t.”

Alita’s eyes flew wide. “Then you…”

Tatiana blinked. “Buying us one more day at a time, isn’t that good?”

Alita couldn’t refute that, but she felt even more dejected.

She patted her. “Don’t be nervous. That man knows perfectly well I can’t cure it.”
