Chapter 7. Ice is just as good as fire (8)

Thank goodness. Because Cassandra is famous.

Indeed, it is even more strange not to know such a unique woman.

All that’s left for her is to do this and that to pass her test. Even if you get tested just in case, it cannot be anything other than a blood test.

Soon, the employee returned. The cell phone, wrapped in two layers of secrecy, was handed over to the quarantine door.

“We are connected via video call. “Do not take off the packaging.”

Cassandra was seen beyond the LCD screen.

“Cassandra?”

A woman with long black hair in a pale office looks into her camera with her empty eyes.

“Cassandra, right?”

– Were you happy? You sound like a liar.

Something is unusual. I took a closer look at Cassandra. Oh my god. I knew he was gloomy, but now he’s not only depressed, but his eyes can’t even focus.

“Uh, what?”

– Cassandra lived because she couldn’t die, but you looked good. That would be nice, wow. I wish.

The atmosphere in the isolation room was frozen. The employee immediately shoots me.

“Didn’t you say you two are getting to know each other?”

This is not good. We need to make sure we get it right here. I looked at the employee.

“Originally, as we get to know each other, we fight and have differences of opinion, but isn’t this because we all want to make things work out well? “If I really didn’t like it, I wouldn’t even look at it.”

“That makes sense.”

The broker lady greatly sympathized with what I said.

“Isn’t this our story?”

The man driving answered.

“No. It was about drinking and me. “Our cute prince.”

Thinking that her boy’s mother must have been the Queen of England, she looked at Cassandra again. He had a listless expression and was putting something in a test tube.

– I heard the story. She said she was locked in a chicken coop. Cassandra was locked in a cage. Cluck, cluck, cluck.

“You’re in the office there.”

– Cassandra became a slave.

“Slave? You? “I heard you have a lot of money.”

-She was robbed of a more important name than that. The master took Cassandra’s name. If you hadn’t abandoned Cassandra that day, things wouldn’t have ended up like this. But you didn’t listen to Cassandra either.

Now everyone looks at me with blank eyes. If things continue like this, you end up like human trash.

“… Cassandra. I just had a hard time watching you hurt. “You got better in the arms of good people other than me.”

But doesn’t that mean I can’t take care of someone who got hit in the back by a pistol bullet? There were also doctors in the back. So I didn’t say anything wrong.

– You idiot. Cassandra still has her heart broken. Still, she realized something that day after she broke up with you. It’s not you that’s bad. It’s the world.

Fortunately, Camila Mann is sitting back and maintaining her composure. Seeing her clenching her fists so much that her knuckles turn white, it seems like she can’t stand being insulted by me.

Still, in this lonely world, there is at least one person who takes my side, which is quite reassuring.

“Cassandra. Give me a chance to explain. “I need you.”

– Black…

No. This wasn’t what I expected. Suddenly Cassandra bursts into tears. But shouldn’t she cry during a blood test? I do not know.

– Black… Ugh… Why are you talking about that now… What should we do now…

“Hmm.”

I don’t know who cleared their throat. First of all, Camilla does not have a benevolent expression. She is not a grand lady who looks like she has completely sobered up. The driver repeatedly pointed to the disease control agency staff.

“Well, um. Turn off the speakerphone. “We have to monitor all conversations, but this is a private area that we don’t really want to know about.”

“Of course.”

This is a welcome sound to hear. She pretended not to notice and went to the corner. Camilla squirmed for a moment and wanted to come this way, but fortunately she restrained herself.

– I’m sorry. Sorry.

“What’s going on?”

– … I sold you. Sorry. That viper-like woman said that if she wanted to take ‘my name’, she had to tell me everything about what happened with you. So… Precious memories with you, ‘with my mouth’… Hmm…

What kind of memories were you talking about? She thought about Cassandra and her experience. All I could think about was her breasts. She was dreamy, cozy, comfortable, uplifting… Beautiful memories.

No. No. That’s not it. What now? You sold me out?

“Oh, that’s good.”

– Ugh, huh, well, it’s going well?

Cassandra is also a person who values fair values. If she sold me out, I can sell her out too.

“Did you hear about my situation? “If I continue like this, I will end up naked in front of your office neighbors and colleagues.”

Yes, I need to do a physical examination to see if there are any zombie bite marks. It’s not wrong. But Cassandra’s face is shaking as if it will break.

– … What are you talking about.

“I was told that I was given a ‘physical examination’ by someone other than you. If you’ve already taken the test once, you won’t have to take it again, right? I’m going to be standing in front of that woman naked in a little while, and I’m going to be subjected to this and that. And then… “I will leave here.”

– No. You can’t go. Are you there in the Hamptons? Wait. Hang in there.

“But you can’t postpone the inspection. People here also have work to do. Moreover, that person is from the department next to your office. “I can’t cause any inconvenience.”

– Were you bitten? You and the people around you.

“No. “If you don’t believe me, you can come and see for yourself.”

Cassandra’s eyes sparkled. She also seems to have a little blush under her cheeks. She had been crying just now, and when she heard that her child had received a bonus, her mouth fell on her ears like an adult.

– … Really? Cassandra is your…

“I saved it for you.”

Of course, I am also a perceptive person, so I whispered to Camilla secretly. But now that I think about it, she is not entirely wrong since she has never seen Camilla and her bare body. One or two of her underwear were always dirty, and even on that rainy day she wore soap bubbles.

But the effect is certain. Cassandra’s eyes changed.

“… And, I feel like I’m feverish.”

For researchers, this is an irresistible temptation.

– I’ll go right away. Come on, meet me in the Hamptons. Bo, jeweler, leave your contact information to the jeweler. It’s a jewelry store under the Bite Cheese sign in District 7. You must remember, you must.

“Then what should I tell your colleagues?”

– Change it.

I returned my cell phone. The employee removed the cover and took the cell phone over there. After a while, the employee came back.

“Please understand that rules are rules. You just need to go through a blood test, and if there are no problems after a quick test, we will let you pass. However, please remember that this is only done to ensure identity.”

It’s not difficult. Rolled up her sleeves The staff took all the blood from all four of us. They said the test would take about 30 minutes.

“Who is that woman?”

Camilla whispered. Meanwhile, the freckled makeup on her face was not removed.

“Ah. The doctor I met in Lambert. I was in the driver’s seat… “

“Where on earth did you two go in that short moment?”

“You saw it too. “I couldn’t even get out of the village entrance.”

“No, that’s not the story… “

Camilla was frustrated at her absurdity, but just in time, her magnificent aunt leaned on Camilla’s shoulder. I touched her hand.

“… Boy. You also need to lose some weight. Because her face is pretty. “There’s no need to be jealous of that crazy guy.”

Camilla maintained her composure. She also clenched her fists until her knuckles turned white. If she knew how pretty Camilla is, she would definitely ignore that woman.

The blood test results were all negative. The employee said, ‘A negative test does not mean that there is no virus in the body. He did not spare any interference, saying, “Always take care of yourself as significant symptoms may occur.”

Thanks to you, we were able to drive again. Moreover, even the vehicle’s cargo was completely intact. Of course, rather than because civil servants and soldiers are innocent, I think it is because they do not want to be infected by a possible zombie virus.

“But how did you get out? I can’t believe you’re friends with the woman from the Korea Disease Control and Prevention Agency. “Isn’t it great?”

The driver praised me. The woman next to me seemed to be in a good mood and was humming her old song. Only Camilla looked out her window without saying a word.

Do I need to tell the whole story?

No. It doesn’t have to be that way. That’s all, the good kid complex. The belief that if I reveal everything to the world without hiding anything, the world will accept me as I am.

Well. That is a characteristic of a child who grew up in a home where he received a lot of love. Children who were loved by everyone even if they just threw themselves at it as is, so they instinctively acquired that pattern into their bodies. It’s not my story.

More than anything, the more you explain this type of thing, the more words there will be. People will pick out and listen to only the parts they want to hear.

So, tell a story that is reasonably pleasant to listen to.

“Because it is a process of getting to know.”

“Big.”

Camilla wriggled her body as if uncomfortable.

* * * * *

As we got closer to Hampton, the smell became extremely strong. Bloody watchtowers, observation equipment, military equipment and soldiers with rifles. The signboard had graffiti that read, ‘The air of the city will set you free.’

“Remove the magazine and remaining ammunition from the gun and lower it under the vehicle. “This rule came into existence after some idiot shot a soldier while being checked.”

I followed the driver’s advice obediently. Fortunately, the inspection itself took place without any problems. This was thanks to the fake employment confirmation provided by brokers.

“What are you here for?”

“To work as a cleaner in the Hamptons.”

“What about that one?”

“Me too.”

The officer contrasted Camilla’s faces with mine several times and nodded. But instead of letting him go, he rested his elbow on the window frame.

“Is there a place you recognize?”

Camilla shrugged her shoulders.

“Well. “I don’t think there will be much space in the city to move corpses out of the building, so I’d like to volunteer to clean the inside of the building.”

“I came here with a good understanding. Zombies are appearing here and there in the district these days. You get bitten by a mouse, a cat, a dog, a bird, etc. There will be a lot of demand for building cleaning. Depart!”

Identity verification has been completed. The car was back on the road. Open-air incinerators were seen installed throughout the wasteland. Men in fireproof suits were operating the machines. It is a conveyor belt that is not driven by electricity, but by pedaling a bicycle.

A dead person was placed on the belt. It was a zombie. The shattered corpses of zombies fell into the burning incinerator made of dried out trees.

“We need to save electricity and oil. So they say everyone does that these days. Still, the number of zombies approaching from outside has decreased considerably compared to before. Instead, the number of zombies in the city increased.”

The magnificent woman looked back at us as if she were worried. Camilla took out her bundle of money from her pocket. As she roams the human reserve, she has piles of currency that she keeps for herself. Although the value of money has fallen to the bottom, currency is still useful in this city.

“Remaining balance.”

“Hey. “Take care of yourself.”

The man and woman left, looking down at us and waving their hands.

“… Ha.”

Camilla then let out her sigh.

“Let’s go. This is a temporary ID that is only valid until this afternoon, so you need to quickly change to a new ID before it expires. Hurry.”

A headache came as if she had rested her head next to the washing machine.

After going through various complicated procedures that I don’t even want to remember, and being pushed around to places I thought I would never go to again, we arrived at the ‘Beehive’.
