Chapter 123: The Plague of Uflaria
"We can no longer delay the departure of the ship, Princess!" Ellijah stubbornly blocks Ava. But the girl did not lose the argument, not for now. "The ship has been rented for a month for travel, and I have the right to determine the departure schedule. So it all depends on me!" Ava snorted, removing Ellijah from her path.
Although Dom and Lorah were at the back, following the princess whose face was flushed red and seemed ready to butcher anyone who stood in her way, Ava knew the direction of her goal, the stadium she used to use as a training ground.
The place where River is.
His anxiety is based on worry and anxiety, but the most intense is the burning wrath.
The story of Dom and Lorah revolves again in his heated head.
"Sak River was hit .. plague."
"A mercenary returns home from his failed mission in Uflaria, but his behavior is strange and every day more aggressive. Not long after, the mercenaries growled indistinctly and began to attack the people around. River wanted to break up, but unfortunately he was also injured, bitten. A few days later, River and the other victims experienced the same symptoms as the mercenaries. So now, they are isolated in a stadium that serves as an emergency quarantine center. Many say that what happened was a sign that the plague from Uflaria had spread to Oranera."
An outbreak in Uflaria? What does that mean similar to the zombie phenomenon?
How can it spread across continents?
... Ava had no idea what the people in Uflaria were doing to deal with the crisis, but it seemed that their treatment was not good to see that there were mercenaries who preferred to hide their wounds rather than receive compensation money.
And now River's infected, too?
Heh.
What does this plague look like? Are zombies the way Ava imagined? Are they really looking for the brain? Or just raw meat in general? Is there a serum that restores itself to the way it was? Or is there just a vaccine? For the infected, their body functions are still normal or everything is decaying exactly like the undead? Can they still use skills? Or just the status points?
Argh, even thought of as free, all are still assumptions.
Unlike the past, now the stadium that Ava is heading to has dozens of soldiers on guard, tightening supervision. Fortunately, the process of entering visitors is not complex, given the way the transmission is by bite, so as long as they are not too close to 'the patient' and there is a guard who accompanies their visit at all times, they are allowed to enter, moreover it turns out that Dom and Lorah are regular visitors, the process is getting easier.
They were considered as beasts or what?!
The ranks of the iron cages were neatly arranged, each inside was someone who either growled, barked, or rattled the coarseness of the iron bars upon seeing them. Ava knew if she screamed, things would only get worse.
Finally, he arrived in front of the cage which had a hanging board bearing the number 17. The only 'patient' sitting listlessly among the zoo-like commotion. Rivers.
"Hey ...," Ava greeted hesitantly, making her tone hang.
River looked. His once friendly face was now deathly pale expressionless with dry and chapped skin, his eyes were empty, no longer emitting the friendly radiance that they once did.
The unfamiliar image makes Ava uncomfortable seeing River.
Automatically, from his impulsive thoughts, Ava immediately decided to make River's recovery a priority.
"I have the cure recipe, it's in my secret lab, so you better get on the ship."
Wait a minute ...
Whose voice was it, directly inside his brain?
...
...
Eve?!
