Chapter 149: Notes
What really happened at Tula station?
Today, this is no longer a mystery to Homer.
The answer was simpler than he thought, but terrifying.
Interpreting this book is actually the beginning of an even more terrifying story.
The note is a black mark for Homer, a ticket to the end, and Homer got it, already unable to extricate himself, no matter how hard he tried to burn it.
In addition to this, a number of significant, unequivocal charges added to his suspicions of the hunter, although Homer had no evidence of it.
Every word and sentence he read in his notes contradicted Hunt's statement.
Hunter's lies are at his fingertips, and he is consciously lying.
Homer should figure out why the hunters lied and what the point of these lies was.
With this in mind, he can decide whether he must continue to monitor the hunter's every move, and whether his thrilling experience is a heroic epic or a horrific holocaust. Kill, because not a single witness will survive.
The earliest entries on the notebook were written down when the caravan had successfully passed through Nagorno to Tula station, and there were no attacks at that time......
"The tunnels before Tula Station are quiet and empty. We're moving fast, and the Commander plans to return by tomorrow." The deceased correspondent wrote.
"There are no guards at the entrance to Tula Station. We sent a scout, but he didn't come back." He fidgeted for the next few hours.
"The commander has decided to march towards Tula Station in general, and we are ready to charge."
After a while, he wrote again." There were several people at the Tula station who were infected by something...... An unknown disease...... They will die in a few days."
Apparently the members of the caravan were trying to heal those who had been infected.
"The doctors on the team don't have any medication. He said they had rabies...... They endured inhuman pain that they could not help themselves...... Start pounced on the others."
And yes." Disease alone was not enough to deal a heavy blow to us, and there was an even more devastating blow......" The next few pages were glued together, and Homer had to uncover them with water from a military kettle.
"Photophobia, nausea, congestion in the throat, blood in the nasal cavity, coughing up blood. The team doctor said it was a respiratory infection." - This sentence was written down the next day, and the caravan was already trapped.
Why don't you report it to the station?
Homer asked himself.
He immediately recalled that he had seen the answer to the question somewhere.
Turn a few pages......
"There was no communication, the phone was not working, probably sabotage. Did the exiles do it? For revenge? Before we were exposed, some of the patients were herded into the tunnel. Did one of them cut the cable? Or ......"
Reading this place, Homer looks away from the letters and casts his gaze forward.
Even if the cable had been cut, why didn't they return to Sevasdopol at that time?
"It's getting worse. Maybe the onset was a week later. What if it's a little longer? Or will you die in two weeks? We don't know who is sick and who is healthy? Nothing will be done. Without medicine, the mortality rate is 100 percent."
A day later, the correspondent made another note, and the contents were not new to Homer.
"Tula Station is in chaos. There were no exits, and Hansa imposed a blockade. We can't go home."
A page later, he continued. People with weapons began to shoot patients, especially those who were aggressive. Some of them were infected themselves after one night...... Began to round up infected people...... They resisted, they pleaded."
The words that followed were short and terrible." People started eating each other......
The communicator was also scared silly, but the iron-clad discipline of the assault squad did not allow panic to cause riots.
Even among those infected with the spread of deadly diseases
, the team of Sevasdopol is still the team of Sevasdopol......
"The situation is still under control, the station is surrounded, and a commander has been appointed."
Homer reads." Everything is fine with our people, but only a little bit of time has passed."
A search team sent by Sevasdopol made it to the Tula station – and, of course, caught up in it.
"Decide to stay here again before the incubation period has passed, without any risk...... Maybe stay here forever." The communicator was ready to die.
"It's a situation from which there is no way out. Rescue is nowhere to be found...... Only patience...... How long?"
That is, the gatekeeper next to the sealed gate of the Tula station was arranged by the people of Sevasdopol?
It's no accident that their voices make Homer feel familiar!
The people who were on duty there at that time had before that, together with Homer, dealt with vampires from the direction of Chertanovo in Sebasdopol!
Voluntarily staying there, they hope not to bring the pathogen back to the station where they are home......
"Contagion tends to occur in close personal contact between people, in the air. Who has immunity? Almost two weeks ago, many people did not develop the disease...... But more and more people are dying. Lives in the corpse hill."
The correspondent writes down a line." Who will die next?"
Suddenly, a hysterical scream cut through the silence.
Su Mengfan and Sasha were both startled by this sudden voice.
I couldn't help but worry about Hunter's safety.
Homer calmed himself down and continued reading: "Something should be done. Warn. I volunteered to do it. Will not go to Sevasdopol - find the place where the cable was cut and call the station. This call should be made."
"A day and night passed, and perhaps this day and night he had devoted himself to an invisible confrontation with the commander of the caravan, a wordless argument with the other soldiers, and a growing sense of despair.
All the messages that the correspondent wanted to convey to Sevasdopol have been recorded in this notebook.
"They don't know what the people at the Sevasdopol station think of all this.
It's been a week now.
Three people were sent, and they couldn't go back.
Then came a new stormtrooper squad.
A new team was assembled.
All those who are going to leave for Tula station are at great risk.
Someone gets infected and runs home.
It's over. The offensive should be stopped. They don't understand ......."
He also made an attempt to wake up the leader, but to no avail, as in all other attempts before this......
"You won't let me go...... They're crazy. If not me, who would it be? You should run away!"
"Showing calm compromise and agreeing to wait."
A day later, he recorded. Go to the sealed door to be on duty. Shouting to find a cable, ran back. Shoot me in the back. The bullet got into it."
The last letter is soaked in thick blood.
