Chapter 7 - 7. Spread of the Virus

Third person POV

"Are you almost here? Two of the kids are vomiting blood" the nurse asked, panicked and worried. She had been frantic for a while now, with two kids in the clinic simultaneously vomiting blood. Meanwhile, one of them had a rising fever.

"Ma'am, our arrival might be delayed. There's a commotion happening in the middle of the road, and we can't get through," the reply of the rescuer on the other side of the phone, riding in the ambulance.

"Sir, do something! They're convulsing here, their fever's skyrocketing, I don't have any more meds to give them!"

" I'll try, Ma'am, please calm down," the rescuer replied. The ambulance driver was searching for an alternate route to get to the school as soon as possible.

"N-Nurse, I'm cold," a female student suddenly sat up, hugging herself. Her body was visibly shaking.

"W-wait, I'll turn off the aircon," the nurse frantically turned off the aircon, but the girl's condition didn't change. She grabbed her blanket and covered herself.

"N-Nurse, I'm still shaking. I-Its so cold" the student raised her hand, and it was shaking visibly.

"I'll get a thicker blanket," the nurse grabbed two blankets from the other clinical bed and took the folded ones too. She covered the student with them.

"Maybe it's because your fever was too high that's why you're feeling cold—huh? Why are you this cold? You were burning up just now," the panicked nurse touched the student's face, checking her whole face, neck, and palms.

She looked at the two male students on the other clinical bed and checked their temperatures, but there was no change - they were still hot. "Why did your temperature suddenly drop?" she said frantically.

"Oh God, what do I do with you? Wait, I'll call for help," she said, holding her temples.

The nurse was about to stand up and leave the clinic when the door suddenly opened. "Ma'am, where's the patient?" Two rescuers arrived with a stretcher.

"Ahh, finally you're here, I didn't know what to do anymore," the nurse stood up and approached the rescuers. "And why just one? Sir, there are three of them, what about the other two? Are you just gonna leave them here?" the nurse asked, confused.

"Ma'am, we can only carry one person on our stretcher, and two more ambulances are on the way," explained the rescuer.

"Nurse, I'm c-cold, I can't... take it anymore," the female student said, tearfully, hugging herself tightly.

The two rescuers immediately noticed and approached her. "Why is your body this cold?" one of them asked worriedly, checking the girl's body.

He looked at the nurse standing behind them. "Ma'am, has she been cold like this the whole time?" he asked.

"J-Just know. I don't know why she's like this. They were all hot just now," the nurse replied.

The other rescuer checked the two students lying on the other clinical bed. He touched their foreheads and cheeks. "They're hot," he said, looking at his partner. "Sir, these two are hot."

The rescuer looked at the other clinical bed, hearing his partner's words. He checked the foreheads and arms of the two male students. He held his temples, looking at his partner. "Sir, what do we do? We can only take one on the stretcher," he asked, concerned.

"Can't you take them all? This one's getting worse. It's probably the same cause, so the other two might suddenly drop in temperature too," the nurse said, with visible worry in her eyes.

The two rescuers exchanged looks, then glanced at the three students on the clinical beds and the nurse. They were torn, as the ambulance was spacious but they only had one stretcher, and it could only fit one person lying down. If they took all three, they'd have to sit, which was a gamble they weren't sure they could take.

Just then, one of the students stood up and vomited blood. The nurse rushed over, approaching the student who vomited, and touched his back. When she checked his forehead, his temperature was dropping. "I-Its so c-cold," the male student said, eyes closed, shaking as he hugged himself. He continued vomiting blood, causing panic among the three people inside.

"Sir, can you take at least two of them? They might run out of blood," the nurse said, looking at the student wrapped in blankets. "This one's been vomiting blood for a while now."

"Huh?" The two rescuers looked at the female student wrapped in blankets. "Were doomed..." One rescuer held his temples. "... whatever, let's take two of them," he said, looking at his partner. "Call Wil, get him here ASAP."

"Yes, sir."

After a minute, another rescuer arrived, and they immediately put the male student who was vomiting blood on a stretcher. The female student was carried on a rescuer's back. "What about the other one? Aren't we taking him?" asked the newly arrived rescuer, carrying the female student on his back.

"These two are our priority, their condition's too critical," one of the rescuers said, looking at the nurse. "Hes condition hasn't changed, right?" he asked.

The nurse shook her head. "It's still the same. She can wait," she replied.

"Good, you take care of her until the other ambulance arrives," the rescuer said. The nurse nodded, and the three rescuers quickly left with the students.

The nurse held her temples, stressed. She glanced at the remaining student on the clinical bed, still asleep. She checked his temperature – still high fever.

She sighed, sat down, and grabbed her tumbler to drink water. "Because of Prof Lei's craziness, the kids are suffering," she muttered, stressed.

Busy with her laptop, she didn't notice the student was shivering with the cold. The student was hugging himself, wrapping the blanket around his body.

"I-It's so cold" he whispered, but the nurse didn't hear him.

The nurse was busy checking on her previous patients until the male stopped shivering. The student's eyes were slowly changing color, veins were bulging on the edges of his lips and eyes, and the whites of his eyes were turning weird. The nurse didn't notice, until he went to the bathroom.

"Arghhhh rrrrrghhhh" The male student slowly got up from his bed, tilting his head as if sensing his surroundings.

The nurse came out of the bathroom. "Ahh!" she exclaimed, shocked to see the student standing. "Why are you standing right there? You scared me, you should be resting," the nurse said, trying to approach him.

But the student slowly turned around. The nurse was horrified by his appearance: his face was veiny, lips were twisted, pupils were grey, and blood was trickling from his mouth and nose.

"Aaarghhhhhh Raaaaaarghhhhhh" The student screamed, making the nurse cover her ears. "W-What are you doing? Stop shou—AAHHH" Before the nurse could finish, the student lunged at her, knocking her to the ground.

The nurse struggled, "AAHH LEAVE LEAVE ME ALONE AHH HELP AHH!!" The student bit the nurse's arm, refusing to let go, tearing flesh from her arm

"AHHH AHHHHH" The nurse screamed in pain, looking at her arm with the bone exposed. She took a deep breath and kicked the student hard to get away. She tried to crawl to the bathroom, but he grabbed her leg and bit down hard, making her scream again.

"Ahh please let me go stop stop..." The nurse cried, begging for mercy, but the student crawled up her body and viciously bit her neck, making her vomit blood. She tried to push him away, but she was losing strength, her vision blurring until she finally passed out.

"AAAAAAARGHHHHHHHH"

Outside the clinic, two male students heard the commotion inside. Thinking the nurse and student were doing something sexually, they peeked inside but couldn't see clearly due to the curtains blocking the clinical beds. They entered, looking around until they saw the student standing in front of the bathroom, with the nurse's lifeless body below him.

One student slipped on the blood, falling hard on his butt. "Ah-AHHHHHH" he screamed, pointing at the nurse's body. The bloody student turned, screaming loudly too.

The other student ran out of the clinic, chased by the bloody student.

The shocked male student was left inside, frozen in fear. He watched in horror as the nurse, thought to be dead, started moving. He covered his mouth, but couldn't help screaming as she attacked him, until he lost his life
