This moment; This moment......

At this moment, how many people are sacrificing their lives and blood to gods who don't exist anywhere here?

"Was the transfer successful?"

"Ah, it looks like it worked, but ...... What's next? ”

"Let's find a way to settle everyone down first, and then think about the next thing, right?"

Such an arrangement is undoubtedly the most appropriate.

So, the two of them and the rest of the staff who were transferred together began to build the simple medical center again-

as well as food reserves.

However, some people are already on the verge of collapse, and some of them are even refusing treatment.

This made Stella helpless, but she didn't know how to comfort these seeming ......

People who have given up on themselves.

"What should I do?"

In the end, at a loss, she can only turn to Natalie, who seems to be quite calm.

"Don't worry, don't worry, if even we are in chaos at this time, we will really be hopeless."

"Calm down!"

As soon as the words fell, she suddenly caught a glimpse of a person actually picking up the scalpel next to her and wanting to commit suicide!

"Hey! Give me wait! ”

Seeing this, Natalie swooped down and snatched the knife from his hand at the last moment—

As a result, because of the excessive force, his right wrist was mercilessly cut open!

Blood poured out immediately!

"Miss Olivia!?"

"I'm fine, just a minor injury."

That's right, Natalie was more worried about the person just now than she was about - why did he think of suicide?

Is the status quo really unbearable?

"Stella, will you go out for a while?"

"But ......"

Then, she told Stella with her eyes and smile not to worry-

We just have something to say.

That's right, that's all.

Stella, who had to give up and insist, turned around and walked out of the tent.

"Please, let me die!"

But his words were ignored by Natalie as a matter of course.

"Isn't it just incontinence? It's not a big deal, don't look for dead and tired! ”

That's right, on the surface, it really looks like it's just what she says, and it's not a big deal.

However, this guy's problem ...... It's much more than that.

What's more...... bacterial infections and gradual necrosis of the skin. These are combined with incontinence......

These symptoms are mixed together, and they are no longer within the scope of what you can find a solution with your medical knowledge.

And if you just leave him like that, it's likely to infect other people—

And that, without a doubt, is the worst unfolding!

Now on his back, signs of erosion have begun to appear......

Obviously, this is an inevitable consequence of malnutrition.

So, Natalie and the rest of the medical staff here had to help him turn over every half an hour, as well as wipe his body-

Do your best not to let the status quo worse!

He is also given the highest priority in the supply of food.

- Because, no matter what, I don't want to see anyone usher in that kind of ending again!

So......!

So, won't give up!

However, this kind of vow is like the end of a burlesque comedy in the face of the cruel reality.

The expected ending will never be staged -

"Miss Olivia, that guy is hopeless, give him up, right? And we don't have enough food right now......"

“......”

In the end, at Natalie's insistence, he had to be isolated with a sleeping bag.

And this is equivalent to leaving him to fend for himself!

"I'm sorry, I ...... I'm sorry!! ”

For a moment, Stella didn't know how to comfort her, who was in a similar state of self-loathing.

And to be honest, Natalie at this moment looks like she is almost overwhelmed by guilt-

Nothing was done on their own, and again...... Once again, I had to face an ending that I had witnessed thousands of times.

But why is she so incredible?

“......”

Because—

Even now far from the center of the most tense ......

Yet, even here, you can clearly hear the wail that seems to be in deep despair.

The status quo, the status quo at this moment, is the best proof of this.

Here, in this world, where is there any "hope" at all!

As long as such a battle continues, there can be no hope!

"Savior?"

That kind of thing, it's just a boring fantasy!

No doubt......

The people who have been dragged into this bottomless abyss......

The "hatred" they left behind will one day spread to all corners of the world, right?

Even now, their weeping and wailing are still spreading like malignant pathogens.

This is undoubtedly the embodiment of despair......

Finally, after making sure that the people in this vault were okay, Stella and Olivia immediately went to the next vault......

At this moment, every second counts-

No matter how bad the situation is; No matter how slim the hope is, you can't give up on yourself!

"Let's go?"

"Hmm!"

Although Olivia knows, and at the same time knows better than anyone else-

No matter how much the world has sacrificed, and how hoarse it has resisted for the only place it has been where it has been now.

It is possible that all of them will not help, but!

Even so, you have to do your best to survive. Even if it's just to catch your breath!

"Isolate patients from people who are still healthy! Move fast—"

"Yes!"

Soon, however, Stella quickly gave orders before Natalie. As expected, the originally chaotic scene was stabilized!

"Food and water will be distributed three times a day, morning, noon and evening, and everyone will line up to receive it!"

- Thanks to her quick decision, the situation of snatching food was avoided.

"Thanks, great help!"

"No, no, you're welcome!"

Now I can finally see the few smiling faces-

I have to say, this is a good thing.

"You two, it's really helpful!"

However, at this moment, Natalie suddenly fainted without warning-

"Miss Olivia——?!"

After a series of examinations, a conclusion was reached that Stella least wanted to hear -

"High fever...... Is it? ”

“......”

At this point, the original position had to be reversed.

"I'm sorry ......"

Of course, Stella couldn't have cared about such a thing......

"After all, the two of us have been busy for several days and nights without closing our eyes, so it's only natural that this situation will occur—"

"It's not your fault."

She probably wanted to say this, right?

"Thank you."

"Could it be that it was affected by a stray bullet at the moment of transfer just now?"

Her senses have to be said to be quite acute.

So Natalie didn't plan to hide it anymore. It's hard enough that my body can last so long.

"Probably, right? I'm sorry for hiding it from you. ”

"Don't worry, you're in a much better situation than we've been in before. There's enough food to sustain you—"

So it's okay for me to be alone!

She obviously meant that, right?

However, the fact of "being in such an environment" itself made Natalie a little inexplicably depressed at this moment.

However, the first thing to deal with is not your own problem -

So it's not surprising that even if it's the third watch, it's not surprising that he was woken up in the middle of the night.

"What's wrong?"

"Miss Olivia, just ...... A pregnant woman suddenly told me that her stomach hurts, probably because she is due to give birth......"

"But I have no experience in this area! How, how, how!? ”

This guy looks very nervous......

The tongue is knotted.

"Calm down, anyway I understand-"

"But before that, what I have is only theoretical knowledge at best?"

However, Stella seems to be very sure that there is a person who can translate the theoretical knowledge he has into practical action without fail......

Then this person can't have anyone else but Olivia-

"Even if that's the case, can you come and help?"

“......”

Because, you are much more reliable than me!

In short, that's what she said in her eyes at this moment.

"Well, well."

Immediately after, the two rushed to the scene......

"What about anesthetics? If this continues, both the child and the mother will be in danger! ”

After all, the feeling of labor pains is not something that the average person can bear......

"To be honest, the reserves are not enough......"

After listening to this, Natalie immediately asked someone to bring a wet towel for her to hold in her mouth to avoid her biting her tongue!

"I know you're having a hard time right now, but even so, please bear with me!"

As soon as the words fell, the pregnant woman grabbed Natalie's hand!

The strength is so great that she can't even resist!

Although, I didn't intend to resist in the first place—

"Come on, it's almost there!"

Immediately after that, he wiped her sweat; While constantly cheering up!

“......！”

In the end, that's all I can do now.

However, this is not a vain effort......

This cry, which seems to be just one step away, is undoubtedly the best proof.

"Thank you! If it's just me, I don't know what to do......"

Really, how many times have I been thanked for this day?

However, it's not all such "good things".

"Please, leave me alone, there are still a lot of people who are worth risking your lives to protect, right?!"

You see, there are occasional people like this......

"Really?"

"Then I'll come back later, you can take this opportunity to calm down."

However, even after being treated like this, Natalie gradually learned to endure -

After all, if you're in the same position, you're probably going to do the same thing.

So, there's nothing to worry about.

However, the original self, but the guy who didn't even have this bit of patience-

If anything, it's thanks to Stella, right?

In front of her, who is always impulsive and often can't make up her mind most of the time......

I had to behave steadily-

Only in this way can we complement each other.

And......

There is plenty of food and water, and there are fortifications forged in reference to the strength of a nuclear attack.

So, it's too early to give up.

However, the only problem now is that the entrances and exits are blocked, and there is no way to get out!

And no matter which side it is, it looks like an enemy will rush in at any moment!

However, when exactly did they appear? Why didn't you notice it before?

What's the point of figuring out these questions at this moment?

"Stella, can you still do it?!"

And there is no need to answer at all-

"Leave it to me!"

Immediately after, she did not hesitate to take the lives of almost everyone by herself!

But can you really win?

In fact, they are both fast; It's agile and always moves in groups.

This allows the enemy to always have an absolute numerical superiority.

And you can launch a surprise attack at any time, just like this right now!

And, most importantly, there is no fear of death.

- If a companion dies, they will not hesitate to swallow the corpse that is still not decomposed.

Then make the most of all the value in it!

This is more terrifying than cannibalism......

But at this juncture, not far from the battle between Stella and the beast, a lonely child was found!

"When did that guy get there?!"

If they continue to sit idly by, they will be eaten! If you don't do something about it—

But what can I do now?

However, she still ran away! The boat is naturally straight to the bridge......

There's a saying, that's exactly what it says, right?

Needless to say, what she was looking for was a weapon that would teach those guys a hard lesson.

At the same time, it is also a weapon that can really help those children......

However, this is just a food storehouse after all, and rotten grain can be found everywhere......

Even all over the ground.

But weapons that can come in handy don't exist anywhere in this place.

That's why she was forced to make such a decision.

"Now, Stella...... Please, let's figure it out! Find a way to save them!! ”

At the same time, I prayed as well.

"There are children around here——?"

After Stella shredded the enemies attacking from behind, her face changed in shock!

"Tsk!"

At this moment, Natalie finally showed her weak side in front of her without hesitation, and that appearance even startled the other party-

"Got it, I'll find a way to save them!"

"Don't worry!"

However, Stella can't get her hands free at all right now - so ......!

"You can hold off the enemy as much as you can, and I'll save them!"

"Huh? Ming, got it! ”

However, the vast majority of so-called human beings are emotional creatures!

Just like now......

I know I can't do it, but I still have to be reckless? Isn't this a fool and what is it?

But at this moment, there's nothing else to do, right?

“......”

If the already terrible situation is allowed to continue, it is impossible to imagine what the consequences will eventually become.

So even if it's bare-handed; I don't have weapons, but there's something I can do right now, right?

Then, the moment Olivia noticed, Stella's figure had already disappeared from front of her eyes without a trace!

If you think about it, this is a natural thing, right?

Since she was still fighting, how could she give up?

Wouldn't that be embarrassing?

Already, I don't want to see such a tragedy again!

"Help me! Anyone?! ”

A pair of brother and sister are being crushed under the stone slab and can't move!

But now at this time, there is no doubt that calling for help will reveal the location!

“......！”

But fortunately, with Stella's containment, the enemy is also lacking!

"My sister will definitely protect you!"

"Sister, are we going to die?"

How could it be!

However, now she is gradually unable to say such a denial-

"I don't know, maybe...... Would it? ”

Because as an older sister, there is no doubt that you have the obligation and responsibility to protect your younger siblings.

So, she's still holding on-

However......

But what if the fulfillment of this obligation and responsibility comes at the cost of life?

- "That's right, just throw it away...... If you abandon him, you will undoubtedly survive. ”

"You want to survive, don't you?"

"But!"

She nodded silently.

Indeed, if you do this, you will increase your chances of survival.

But, even so, she still can't do this kind of thing-

Because I've never tried to do that.

Moreover, it is impossible to really get the hang of it!

It's a dirty and despicable idea.

"Sister, what are you doing!?"

When she realized what she had done, she was confronted with her brother's incredulous, frightened and angry gaze—

"Stop, sister!?"

Suicide? What's the point of being saved!

It's impossible for my sister not to understand such a simple truth, right?

You can't be ignorant, right?

"Why do you want to do this?!"

"Because that's the only way you're going to survive, aren't you?"

No! I never expected to survive in such a way!

“......”

Then, finally, Natalie heard the voices of both of them in an instant—and then, with great effort, lifted the stone slab that pressed on them!

"Yo! Are you okay? ”

Unexpectedly, just a greeting brought tears to the eyes of the brother and sister......
