That is to say, Joe's physical fitness is good. There was no response when he went ashore yesterday. After a night's rest, adverse symptoms appeared.

Harvey prescribes some medicines for Joe, saying that it will relieve the effects after taking them, but if you want to fully recover, you must either change the environment or stay up for time.

Wait for the body to adjust itself, but the time will be longer or shorter, not sure.

Jessica caught a reason and exchanged with Joe. Yu Nan is not too relieved. Sam and Butch brothers are good at fighting and taking care of others. Fortunately, there is Carmen.

As a cook, Carmen is also a careful girl. Although she has a bit more temperament, she is very sensible and general, so she agrees without a second word.

Last night Hicks made a big deal, so that Yu Nan and others don't have to prepare travel supplies, he will have all of them.

Since Krabatel was nicknamed the butler, he would leave everything to others, let alone let others control his lifeline, so he took Charlie and Harvey to the market for emergency purchases.

Around ten o'clock, Yu Nan and others were waiting at the door of ‘SpiceBean’. After a while, Hicks also came. He also went out early in the morning to arrange goods at the material warehouse.

When Hicks saw Yu Nan, he said affectionately: "Brother Yu Nan, why did you come out so early? I didn't take a rest."

He saw that everyone had a package, and everyone was carrying a wooden barrel. There was an incomprehensible color flashing in his eyes, but he smiled: "I have prepared all the water and food, so why bother to prepare it again?"

Krabatel took the conversation, "Boss Hicks doesn't know anything about us. Not only do we have a lot of appetite, we also consume water, so we don't take a lot of things with us, and our hearts are not at ease."

As he said, he patted the small wooden barrel on his body and clanged, it was full of fresh water.

Hicks greeted a few more words and took everyone to the east gate of Nahana. On the way, Yu Nan asked why he didn't see the goods. Hicks explained that he had packed up and waited outside the city.

Sure enough, beside a small sand dune to the south outside the east gate, a large group of people were waiting long ago, and a loud noise could be heard far away.

Yu Nan roughly counted, about four to five hundred people, all of them were middle-aged men. Except for a few people similar to accounting and finance, the rest was sturdy, and everyone was armed.

There are also dozens of tall horses, as well as groups of camels, at least eight or nine hundred, and the sand under each camel’s feet is full of sacks of different sizes.

It was the first time that the ‘Prophet’ saw such a large-scale camel team. They were very curious and ran over to take a look.

Yu Nan saw that the material of these sacks was very different from what he had seen in normal times, so he looked at it carefully.

Hicks saw this, came over and explained with a smile: "These pockets are all used for loading goods. They are woven with special hemp rope. The bottom is small and the mouth is big. The opening can be tied with a rope. Because they are specially made, The camel does not slip."

Yu Nan opened his hands and gestured at random, "Is it directly on the back of the camel?"

Hicks laughed and said: "There are also special things about pack goods. After the goods are filled with bags, they can be placed on the hump, but two must be placed, and they must be crossed diagonally on the hump."

Yu Nan looked blank, "This, I didn't expect it to be so complicated?"

"Haha, it's more than that. There are also specific methods for this pocket. The small head of the pocket is in front and the big head is in the back. Because the camel hits the hind limbs more forcefully than the forelegs, the camel can bear more weight by placing it in this way."

Yu Nan nodded to indicate that he had gained knowledge, and he secretly wrote down in his heart that in Alabasta, these little knowledge may be useful when.

With Hicks’ order, the guards began to get busy, loading the goods, checking and checking. After a while, they uttered the slogan "Si, Si". The camel seemed to understand it, and its front legs knelt first. , Squat on the hind legs and lie down on the spot.

Several partners returned to Yu Nan and were surprised to see this scene.

Jessica's big eyes stared round and round, "Oh, that's amazing, I want to learn too!" Then she walked to the big camel on the left.

"Si, Si..." A similar slogan sounded, and the camels stood up again obediently.

Just as Jessica leaned forward, the camel had just stood up, the rope used to fix the hump may not be fastened, and the two pockets fell off.

Jessica helped to pick it up. As soon as she touched it, she found something was wrong, and fumbled for a few more times. Her expression changed, and it seemed to be a weapon like a musket. She just wanted to check again when a scar-faced man next to her suddenly treated her. Yelled: "Let go, who made you move!"

Jessica looked back angrily, "Why are you so fierce? Still wanting to eat people?" Because she was going to the desert, Jessica was wearing a long-sleeved dress today, and her face was also covered with a windproof gauze.

Scarface saw that she was a woman, but he didn't mean to bear the slightest bit of tolerance. He still cursed in his mouth. Several other men walked over with ferocious faces.

Yu Nan swept his eyes coldly. They were obviously not ordinary people. Not only were they tall and strong, they had hot and cold weapons, and they also had a murderous look.

Seeing this scene, Hicks hurried over and scolded the few people. The few men were honest.

Hicks was worried about Yu Nan's misunderstanding, and explained to him: "Nowadays, there is a turbulent situation. It is not safe to go out without guards. The place we are going is a sensitive area."

Yu Nan nodded to express understanding, and said to him: "The boss doesn't need to explain, there is a strong force to protect us, and we are more at ease, but such a big battle, it seems that your cargo is very unusual."

"There is nothing in Cattleya now. As long as you can transport things over, you will definitely make a profit."

Hicks made a haha, but didn’t say what the cargo was, and changed the subject: “By the way, Yu Nan, you have to listen to me when you go out this time. In addition to all kinds of dangerous creatures in the desert, there are also “deserts”. There are pirates and desert robbers. If you are not careful, you will be taken into captivity by them, leaving people and money empty."

"Pirate? Robber?" Yu Nan asked strangely: "What do you mean?"

"They are all criminal gangs unique to Alabasta. In fact, they all make a living by robbery. The'sand bandits' have existed since ancient times and resemble horse thieves. The'sand bandits' have emerged in recent years. Their style is similar to that of pirates, but they are different. , Only haunts the desert, specializing in looting caravans and travelers,"

"Understood, it's a robber!"

A picture immediately appeared in Yu Nan's mind. Numerous bandits riding war horses and camels galloped and killed in the desert, just like a melee scene in a movie in another life.
