THE BATTLEFIELD OF LOVE
Episode 29's. New Assignments
Norman, Oklahoma
Day 20 after DEFCON 2
The storm that hit us passed. The mission commander sends inspectors to maintain the sterile perimeter of this military area even in the middle of a storm. It seems that they do not want any break through from the damage of the security fence in the middle of a storm like this.
You can imagine if you were suddenly bitten by an infected hide in a place you thought was safe.
"Jen, you see this military news update ..." Susan gave me the phone she was holding.
The black zone is expanding, the last two days there are two cities on the west coast into the black zone and the world is getting chaotic China also reported 5% of the territory into the black zone is uninhabitable, other cities also fall into the black zone.
These sudden developments kept cities safe, built great walls, special protection city zones like we maintained our military sterile areas.
We see military news being spread through a dedicated app on our phones.
"The situation is getting worse, but fortunately El Paso is still safe. Mother said all the male citizens of the city are now working together to build a protective wall to protect the city from yesterday..."
"Yes I heard it too. Fortunately we still have a place to go Jen..." Well, thankfully we still have a place to go in the meantime.
"Yes, but I haven't heard from Fred in 13 days..." I hope a miracle saves Fred now.
"Pity you, you definitely can't sleep thinking about it..." I can only take a deep breath now. Only a miracle could save him. Maybe he and his friends are trapped and sheltering somewhere safe.
Call to gather in our pager briefing room.
"What else is this? Special situation again? Why are we the only two called now?" The other nurse was not called. And then I met Noah and seven other paramedics who were involved in additional training. Why we are all gathered.
Our commander, deputy commander and several tactical teams gathered together with Andrew and his team.
"Good day everyone. Those of you who are called here will become a special team. We'll establish a new safe operation area on Interstate Road 40 near Eufala Lake, 80 miles from here. There is a lot of cleaning to be done there and there will be a big deployment in this area. We need medical support nearby..."
I've only heard of the lake area, but never set foot there. We will occupy the central area of the operating area in the interstare 40 road, there is a large rest area that has been secured.
A map of the area of operations in Lake Eufaula State Park which covers an area of 2,853-acre (11.55 km2) About 14 miles (23 km) from the city of Checotah . The area was chosen because there was a communication tower so they chose to protect the tower to facilitate communication of all members of the infantry who were guerrilla cleaning the Checotah area and its surroundings.
"Technically we'll be in the middle of the forest..." Susan concluded our condition. But luckily it's a rest area so there's definitely clean water and electricity of course. We were not thrown into the forest of course...
Doctor Xavier immediately did a task-sharing briefing to us.
"Did Andrew's team do our job?"
"It seems like so maybe even we are recommended by them, maybe because they think we are better prepared because we have undergone training and the terrain there is also more dangerous. Moreover, how many infected have you killed?" I grimaced. I don't know how many I killed yesterday.
After the first encounter with the infected that occurred in the treatment room was . I am more unafraid of them.
We prepare our logistics list as well as our personal luggage. For emergency hospitals like this there is already a standard of operation so we only rely on existing operating manuals.
"You're going to a new area?!" James intercepted me while I was busy with my work.
"Yes, ..."
"Why were you chosen?" He was immediately astonished to ask the reason for our election.
"I think because of our training, all the teams that took special training came, Noah also because yesterday could compensate in the mission with De Angelo, ..."
"Who are the doctors coming?" I mentioned the names of the 8 doctors who came along. And after hearing that, he left. What happened to James. But I didn't have time to think about it because I still had a lot of work waiting for me.
The next day we gathered again for a second report briefing before our departure tomorrow morning.
But I saw James among eight doctors. Why is he here.
"Everyone has a change of team. Charlie was replaced by Doctor James..." And the briefing began later. I don't understand why he wanted to come. Even though here is better and safer facelitasnya.
"James..." I ran after him later. He looked at me.
"What's wrong?"
"Why do you want to come? Isn't it better here? It's dangerous there anyway..." She smiled at me a little.
"I've been a karate black belt since I was 20, and obviously my shot score is perfect if you want to know Tootsie." James knocked on my head and walked away later without explaining why he wanted to undergo surgery.
I looked at his back, he called me Tootsie again. If he thinks I'm his friend's little brother who needs to be protected, he shouldn't have to take that responsibility.
I'm just his best friend's sister. He shouldn't have taken this risk.
