Chapter 9

It had been a long day, and Yuuto was aching for sleep. They had ridden tge bus around the city, picking up people that each checkpoint had detained for suspicious behavior. He felt awful for the bus driver that he knew they had scared half to death today. However, he was grateful the man didn't ask questions because he wouldn't be able to give him answers.

Yuuto was hoping for an easy day, but instead, he had to be forceful with several people. It didn't necessarily feel right forcing those people onto the bus, but he knew that they had their reasons for being sent to the hospitals. They were saving the people of the city, even if it meant they were sending some off to quarantine. Today they had sent thirty people to the hospital.

The hospital was no longer an ordinary hospital. Now it was a militarized camp, no one allowed in or out with getting through soldiers. The doctors whisked patients off that the soldiers brought in, leading them inside. A few nurses helped civilians who required minor care in small tents outside the hospital itself. They needed all the free space they could find in preparation for the sick the military brought in.

Yuuto had escorted the thirty people into the hospital, while Arata stayed with the bus. He remembered as he walked into the threshold of the hospital, how quickly it seemed odd. The waiting room was empty, and the two doctors at the front led them deeper into the building. A soldier was with the doctors, they were talking about something, but Yuuto couldn't hear.

Passing many rooms that had the doors closed, inside he could see desperate faces looking out, he felt as though he was walking through a prison; all the inmates locked up. His grip on his rifle tightened as he thought this. It scared him to believe that he was like a guard to these people he passed.

They eventually arrived at an empty ward, and they separated the civilians by how sick they looked. Four people per room and they then locked the door behind them.

“How many people have arrived so far?” Yuuto asked curiously.

One of the doctors looked up from some charts he had, “So far...seventy-two.”

“Are they all...well...” asked Yuuto, but stopped, unsure whether he could speak about the virus in front of the doctors.

The other soldier picked up on this, “It is okay. You can speak freely; the doctors are informed of the entire situation.”

Nodding, Yuuto replied, “So, how many of them are actually infected with the virus?”

“The only way we have to be certain is the obvious signs, bite marks. We have only two confirmed cases here. Most of these people have common ailments, such as a cold. We should have them released tomorrow, but we fear that we may have even greater numbers of infected soon,” answered the doctor, “Now, excuse me I must begin examining these new patients.”

Yuuto headed back towards the front of the hospital, unnerved by the empty halls, but filled rooms with prying eyes.
