THE BATTLEFIELD OF LOVE
Episode 25's. Infected Breaches 2
Level lock-down lasts all night through the morning. Fortunately, we do not accept emergency patients.
All night security around the complex ensured that we did not enter infected again. In the west there is a fence that damaged its electrical system and was breached by infected.
Although it has been repaired but successfully resulted in all of us only falling asleep for a few hours because of fear.
I took a job in an isolation room that didn't require moving too much for my injured leg. I work with one other nurse.
I saw our only patient. There seems to be no record of her infection on her chart. Her body temperature was stable even though she complained of a slight headache yesterday.
"Hallo Bobby, remember me..." I greeted him early in the morning to check his condition.
"Ohh you're a nurse in the ER, ..." Apparently he still recognizes me.
"Truely, it turns out you still remember me. You feeling good?"
"I'm fine..." I saw his eyes, red. Why are his eyes red? "Only I quickly feel thirsty lately, for some reason... I've always thought about strawberry red juice or anything that's red delicious."
Why am I goosebumps now? But he's not hot at all, wait a minute suddenly there's an explosion in Pleasant Groove, maybe some of them don't have any sign of heat or vomiting.
"I'll take your medicine first..." Shit I left my knife at the nurse's desk. I should have brought it!
"What medicine? May I have some strawberry juice, Miss Nurse...."
"of course... I'll get. Wait there..." I walked into the nurse's room, but she came down as well.
"Where are you going?" I still tried to calm down and face towards him. He took a step forward I took a step back as well. "You can't come out of the room, I'll get it for you... " I'm holding my pen. It could be an emergency weapon.
"I think I'll follow you to take it..." He's staying ahead.
"YOU CAN'T GO FORWARD ANYMORE!" I clashed hard for a moment to stop him. And made my partner Luisa look at me.
"Why..." Her saliva is dripping now. Damnit damnit! He was infected! I'm prepped.
"Luisa, code red!" My screams echoed in the room.
Luisa's movement of pressing the panic button immediately happened behind me. And he was at high speed and his jaw was instantly gaping towards me. I fell because he jumped at me so fast.
Luisa screamed in horror and I started fighting for a living.
I reflexively tried to clutch his neck holding his jaw that began to stretch not reach me and in addition I tried hard so that his saliva did not hit my face.
While his fingers were trying to open the lock on my arm. I was lucky to wear a long sleeve shirt otherwise I would have suffered a pretty severe scratch wound it seems. Damnit damnit!
I tilted my arm and stretched my leg to push it to the side with the technique taught in training. He was pushed to the side.
Someone's voice came to save me then.
"His patient is Infected!" Luisa is screaming hysterically and I have to hold on for a little while longer.
"Jen!" Luisa.
"Luisa's disinfectant!" Luisa quickly took out the disinfectant spray and sprayed it onto my face. And I poured it all at once for me to clean my face from the infected liquid splash earlier with the help of tissue.
My face was instantly hot exposed to that powerful disinfectant liquid.
Another soldier and a doctor came later. And I can stand back and sit down
"What's going on! Jennifer you're okay!?" Major Joseph was immediately stunned to see the patient who had been shot and sprawled.
"The antibody detector didn't succeed, there are other variants that we can't detect. He did not even show any symptoms of an increase in body temperature. Only her eyes were red and her headaches! His antibody test was even negative "I explained what happened.
We used to detect the presence of the parasite by detecting the special antibodies that the body produced when the parasite entered. And somehow the evolution of this parasite can perfectly fool the human body.
A negative test is not necessarily negative. We need to find a way to identify who is positive as soon as possible.
"Say the CDC to come here soon! And explain what we found.." He ordered one of his assistants.
"You guys okay?" She saw me and Luisa.
"Yes Sir!" we answer together.
"Tell me the full story...." Luisa and I changed our minds about what we were going through now while Major Joseph and the others were silent to hear us.
"You and Luisa rest. Thank goodness you guys are okay. Pradjurit immediately sterilized this room. I'll take care of the rest with the CDC. Maybe your testimony will be needed later."
Luisa and I went back to our break room. I took off all my clothes and washed myself. Trying to shake off the shadow of the struggle earlier, then and sit in the break room with Lily who also seems the same schoknya with me.
James and Andrew arrived later.
"You're facing infected?!" They're asking us questions that we really don't intend to talk about.
"Yes, the patient we amputated, he's dead." I gave a definite description.
"No sign of them being hit, even the chart just shows a headache..."
"It's true that even he could talk to me and ask for strawberry juice, which is funny. Before his drool dripped on me..."
And I'm laughing now. Because it feels funny he can ask about strawberry juice.
Now I laugh at the wrong time.
Looks like I need to make sure my test results are negative.
May I also get the virus?
