THE BATTLEFIELD OF LOVE
Part 50's. The Springdale Refugee Camp Crisis
After they arrived from the town of Springdale, Andrew and his team received orders to assist with the safety of Camp Springdale 2, located in West Siloam Spring about a 45-minute drive from Plant Tyson Springdale. The refugee tent tent stands along 2 miles of 59 lanes, most of which are still open fields.
There were a lot of people who got sick this morning, all with the same symptoms. Fever, red eyes accompanied by headache. The doctors in the large shelter of nearly 10,000 people were already terrified by the explosion of the person who came with the same complaint. Wrong or too late to take action 10,000 others threatened.
“How is Commander Arnold ..” A medical team chief's doctor asked the shelter commander for advice. Each shelter is under military authorization to keep order now.
“How many times have you reported sick until now?”
“Have touched 100 people, there is contamination, we can not know where, we use the TDS building completely to isolate patients, almost full and this is very risky.” On the line there is a building that functions as a temporary hospital. And the civil and medical doctors at the hospitals around Springdale were seconded there.
“God, how could there be such contamination.”
“We don't know either, but this is definitely oral contamination. It can't be wrong anymore. Plus we don't know if anyone's hiding their pain out there. Symptoms are commonly known. If anyone hides it can be dangerous.” Everyone is silent.
“I think we can build limited insulation around the building, can you anesthetize them, we will tie them up to positive their body temperature 34. The law will not blame us if we take drastic action.”
“We don't have so many dope supplies Commander..”.
They were not finished talking, the door was open.
“Commander, no infected attacking camp zone D.”
“Have been shot!?” Commander Arnold rushed out looking at the situation. Each section of the camp is limited by barbed wire, which makes organizing the group easier.
“There is 1 infected person, biting 3 others. We had to shoot them. The one standing guard there was the special forces team that came this morning. The police officer had already pacified the others in that section.”
“Affected doctor from any section?”
“A to D.”
The camp commander got to that chaotic section. Local police are already in control. People gather and talk to each other, but everything does not cause chaos.
“Commander.” Andrew greeted the camp commander who had just arrived there.
“Thank you for helping captain.”
“This is dangerous commander, we need scanning immediately. Among them there may be infected but do not report.” Andrew proposed the actions they needed to take.
“We have 100 infected people in DPS building, the doctors are worried they will threaten health workers.”.
“Commander, anything must be done to protect tens of thousands of others. We're talking about execution. You don't want this population of 10,000 people to fall into infected.”
“You mean we have to shoot those who haven't changed.”
“Your bet is 100 people to 10,000 Commanders. I think if we talk about humanity, those who are infected are no longer human, until now we have not found a cure for the infection, the law is clear we are allowed to take an execution action against infected and we do protect 10,000 others.”
“Doctor are you sure all those in the DPS building are infected.”
“Commander, can you do it fast there. We'll do the screening. We better clean up quietly without causing a fuss. And the body needs to be immediately secured so as not to cause further infection.”
“You are allowed to set it up with the doctors. This is Doctor Oliver, he'll give you whatever you need. Doctor Oliver..”
That afternoon they arranged for the silent execution behind the protected DPS building, so as not to cause panic. Several people were screened and entered the DPS building. Those who enter will never come out again. The waiting family was told they were in a coma because they were infected. And a few days later they were told they had died in treatment. Finally after the screening in three days then no new symptoms entered they could continue the journey.
And within three days Andrew realized that he really missed chatting with Jen again. The girl already had a boyfriend, but I don't know for two months that she never went back to El Paso again. Most likely her boyfriend is trapped in the Dallas black zone and is an infected victim. The dalas have not been cleaned up until now. Like Springdale the city was a dangerous zone.
They helped clear the camp in the next three days and had received permission from Shelter Commander Henrryetta. Because of this, some additional personnel were sent from Henryetta's main military camp to assist them. And this time around the Henryetta camp that has gone into the green zone mostly took the burden of new refugees to work in agricultural areas.
If his girlfriend survived and entered one of the shelters he should be able to contact his home in El Paso, but it has been almost 3 months there is no news.
“Why daydream heh?” De Angelo nudged him.
“Merinduce home..” Andrew answered briefly.
“Which house do you mean?”
“What do you mean which house?!”
“Henryetta or El Paso?” De Angelo's question made Andrew turn his head.
“Henryetta the camp, which part is it called home?”
“Our house in Henryetta later .” Andrew laughing.
“You think of Susan.There is no denying it.”
“Didn't you pay attention to Jen too.”
“Who said?!”
“Ohh come on, you know I'm right... I've often caught you looking at that beautiful nurse. Don't deny it..” Andrew didn't talk this time.
“She has a boyfriend.”
“It's been infected I guess. Her boyfriend disappeared early in the Dallas pandemic. Most likely already dead name. Don't stupid... Your chance, bro, this is set. The thing he still thinks about it, it's normal, he'll see the reality for months ahead.” De Angelo patted Andrew on the shoulder.
“Maybe..”.
“Check excited a little. Approach her, be nice to her, she won't go anywhere.” Andrew smiled. She knows Jennifer is a girl with high independence, getting her is not an easy thing. She's not Susan who likes to be spoiled, and sweet. He'll do it all himself, no need for anyone to back it up. He stays friendly, but being friendly doesn't mean he trusts you completely.
That Fred he mentioned, he must have loved Jen so much.
