"No! Stay away from my wife!" the man shouted, his voice filled with desperation as he gripped his knife tightly. His eyes were bloodshot, and he brandished the weapon with a fierce scowl, clearly beyond reason.
"What’s happening here?" Kisha asked, stepping closer. The crowd parted quickly as they realized the City Lord had arrived. With a clear path now open, Kisha approached the scene, while a brave soul stepped forward to explain the situation.
"City Lord, the woman there suddenly collapsed, and the man with the knife rushed to help her. Despite his efforts, she hasn’t responded, and her face is flushed red. We initially thought she might have a fever or some illness, so we intended to take her to the nearby doctors, especially given your recent briefing on awakening and its symptoms.
However, since you mentioned that not everyone succeeds in awakening, the man appears to have panicked. He fears that if she fails to awaken and turns into a zombie, the doctors might put her down. That’s why he’s been resisting our attempts to get her medical help." He finished with a deep sigh and a shake of his head.
Kisha remained silent, reflecting on the situation. She had indeed warned them about the possibility of failing to awaken and the subsequent risk of turning into a zombie. She had hoped that this warning would lead people to understand the importance of sending those who fell ill to the designated quarantine area, where doctors and soldiers could monitor their condition and intervene if necessary.
If a person were to turn into a zombie in the middle of the base, it would cause chaos and exacerbate the situation significantly. That’s why the medical team and the soldiers partnered with them took the order very seriously once it was issued.
Kisha anticipated that some people, like this man, might resist following protocol due to their fear of losing family members if they failed to awaken, which was understandable. However, they also needed to prioritize the safety of the larger group. Fortunately, someone had already gone to the medic’s tent to call for the doctor and soldiers to transport the woman.
They were on their way, and the crowd had been instructed to keep their distance while monitoring the woman for any changes.
Kisha, on the other hand, activated her ’Eye of Truth’ gift to gain a clearer understanding of the situation.
