Chapter 91 War Everywhere

The little girl weakly opened her mouth and whimpered. Calista stared at her for a while, then undid her jacket and put it over the little girl’s face.

“I’ll be fine as long as you don’t look.”

The little girl wanted to pull the jacket off her face when everything suddenly went dark, but she suddenly stopped moving when she heard Calista’s voice.

This pretty young lady seemed cold and distant, but her gentleness had touched the little girl’s heart. So the little girl slowly relaxed, as the smell of the jacket made her feel at ease and she felt like sleeping.

Calista bent her head down and continued, quickly cutting off all the rotten flesh. Then she used a rock to pound the herbs into a paste and applied it on the wound.

In the process, she also tried to distract the little girl.

“What were you doing under the tree?”

The little girl hadn’t eaten in days and was very weak, so she hoarsely replied, “My brother was taken away by soldiers…I’m waiting for him to come back…”

The little girl’s words made Calista feel uncomfortable. If the soldiers she mentioned had taken her brother away by force, then they must have been rebel forces. Once they took anyone away, they were likely to never come back.

After she had bandaged the wound, Calista took the jacket off the little girl’s head, but the little girl held onto the sleeve of the jacket.

“You want it?” Calista looked at her jacket.

The little girl nodded, an intense desire in her light amber colored eyes.

“It smells very nice…” It was a smell that could make her feel at ease, and she held onto the jacket as if it would save her, as if she could get some sense of security from it.

Calista let go of the jacket. “If you want it, you can have it.”

She pulled out more herbs from her backpack and asked the little girl, “I need a stove and a pot. Do you have one?”

The little girl pointed out the house that she lived in with her brother. But now her brother was gone, and it was only left with her.

Calista patted her dirty and messy head. “You stay here, I’ll go over myself.”

Calista had decided to boil a pot full of herbs before moving on. This concoction could only help with the symptoms and not the actual vifus, but if she left without doing this, everyone would be dead in a few days.

She opened the door and saw a few rats boldly run towards the door. One of them nearly pounced on Calista but she kicked it away violently, and after a few squeaks and struggles, it ran off.

villagers had died, but what the influenza took away from the people first was not their lives but their soul, and there was an unpleasant feeling of despair in the air.

Calista chopped up the tables and chairs to use as firewood, then boiled a whole pot of herbs with water from the Mirewood River

She poured the concoction into a bottle and took it outside. She found a couple of men who weren’t too ill and passed the bottle to one of them.

“Here’s some medicine, you will feel better for a while after drinking it, but the symptoms will come back after some time. So once you feel better, go to the forest and pick some herbs and boil more for yourselves.” Calista put the three types of herbs she used on the ground, but she realized that neither man moved and their vision was cloudy, as if they didn’t understand what she said at all.

She frowned and there was a sudden burst of coldness from her.

“Didn’t you hear what I said?”

One of them was frightened by her sudden icy voice, and cried as he held his face in his hands, “We won’t get better. God is punishing us with this illness, and we need the evil leader of our country to die before we can be cured!”

Calista couldn’t stand hearing such nonsense, so she forcibly poured some of the medicine down his throat and then pushed the bottle into his hands.

“I’m god now! Whoever doesn’t eat the medicine I’ve mercifully provided can go to hell!”

With that, she turned to leave, but she remembered to pour a bowl of the medicine for the little girl under

the tree.

“Drink this. Your illness is not that severe, so you’ll get better.”

The little girl hadn’t drunk anything in a long time, so even though the medicine was very bitter, she drank it down very quickly. This made Calista feel less agitated and she patted the girl’s head.

“Are you leaving now?

Calista nodded. There were many people waiting to be treated, and if a foreigner like her stuck around for too long, the rebel soldiers might replace her.

The most ideal situation was for her to develop treatment drugs back home and then send it over, but there was no way they could carry the Influenza T virus into her country. And she could only see what she was dealing with by witnessing the effects of the virus on an actual person.

“Tell the other villagers that they must boil the water several times before drinking it, and to wash their hands diligently, ok? This disaster will be over soon, I promise you!” Calista’s voice was very confident and

clear.

There was a bright spark in the little girl’s eyes.

“Does that mean my brother is coming back soon?” Her voice suddenly increased in volume and she looked with hope at a particular part of the village.

“He said he has gone to uphold justice and he would become a great person. So once this is over, he will surely come back!”

He was going to die.

Calista felt a chill in her heart, but she didn’t say it out loud.

Calista stood up and the little girl realized that Calista was really leaving. The little girl wanted to cry, but her eyes were too dry.

After such a long period of struggling, this was the only person who had taken care of her and fed her medicine. To her, Calista was pretty much a god.

She slowly climbed up and bowed to Calista, putting her hands together and bowed with her face to the floor.

“Miss, I pray for you…if I die, my soul will bless you.”

Calista nodded and quickly walked off. She hated seeing death, and she was very afraid of seeing how hope turned into despair among a large group of people dying.

They all lived on the same planet, but how was it that some people were happily going to school, while others were fighting wars?

This was the first time Calista considered this question.

Meanwhile, Kallum was still waiting for news. But after waiting several days, Gunner said that they still hadn’t found Calista.

Kallum breathed a sigh of relief, thinking that he might have just been paranoid…how could this be possible anyway? Calista didn’t like him anymore anyway…so why would she come looking for him?

He felt bitter in his heart, but his logical brain was relieved.

The war never stopped outside, and it was in such a time that Kallum found himself missing Calista even. more. He thought about her calmness, her aggressiveness, how she used to be shy and timid each scene flashed in his mind.

One’s personality might change after they had gone through death. But what had Calista gone through without his knowledge?

The change in her had made Kallum want to dote on her without regard for anything else. If this time..he was able to go home in one piece, he wanted to marry her!

Over on the other side, the rebel troops‘ missile system had finally been disarmed, and all sides were preparing for battle!

There were some risking their lives to send help, and there were some risking their lives to escape. There were also some who didn’t fear death and ran in to fight for wealth and power.

Kallum was still taking care of the arsenal, sending weapons to the front line continuously. But he couldn’t. stay behind the scenes for too long as there was a severe manpower shortage. If possible, he had to advance forward. He was already here, so if he had to work hard to survive. Waiting to be protected was the most foolish thing to do now.

The medical team had finally arrived and built a medical lab for Level Four viruses on the foundations meant to be an army hospital in the shortest time possible, ready to take on the virus that had swept through half of Lostaria.

Most of the communication lines were down, so Kallum could only communicate with his uncle and couldn’t even call home, much less receive any news about Calista.
