Her Vengeful Rebirth ( Calista ) Novel

Chapter 90 Influenza 

It can’t be helped then. We’ll have to use the most primitive method to disinfect the place. There’s very. little medicine around here, but plenty of alcohol.” 

Kallum quickly gave a series of instructions, and then Quintus and the rest forced him to take a rest. But then a message came in and Kallum sat up violently when he read it. 

“Calista borrowed a plane from Jarrett?!” 

Kallum knew which countries had a travel ban by heart even without checking. If Calista had to borrow a plane, was she coming to look for him?! 

This thought made him mad with joy, then mad with rage! Was Calista seriously coming to look for him?! 

Kallum tried using the communication device to call out, but couldn’t reach anyone. D*mn it! This message had come in a few days ago already, so if Calista was on the way, she would have reached here by 

now. 

“Gunner!” he called out urgently and a man in black came in. He was very tall with an extremely unfriendly face. 

Gunner and Ryder’s roles were much like the emperor’s personal guards in ancient times. They were in charge of protecting Kallum, and were the most outstanding of all the Parker bodyguards. 

“Mr. Kallum.” 

very weak, 

Gunner quietly answered and saw that even though Kallum was severely injured and should be very the veins at the side of his forehead were about to burst! 

“Get people to patrol the primary forest area at the Mirewood River! If anyone sees Ms. Calista, make sure she goes home in one good piece!” 

Gunner froze, “You’ve already sent Ryder out, and for your safety, I cannot leave your side.” 

The reply Gunner got was a loud crash as the communication device smashed into a few pieces next to his foot. Kallum was clearly going mad from worry. 

“I told you to go!” 

Gunner had no choice but to obey, and started feeling contempt for this woman who didn’t know how to quietly stay home at such a time, instead coming out here and making things worse. 

Next to the Mirewood River, Calista surfaced from underwater. She was now within Lostaria, and besides. some abandoned steel plates, there wasn’t a single soul in sight. 

Everyone outside of the country knew that there was an outbreak of influenza in Lostaria because the rebels had infected the river with the virus, and any water taken from it had to be boiled several times before it became drinkable. If one was not careful enough, he would definitely be infected, so there were very few guards around the river. Calista used some tools to cut through the electric fence. Anybody guarding the area would probably miss her because she was alone, and even if they found her they probably wouldn’t think she was dangerous. 

After walking some distance, she saw a poor village ahead. The rich of Lostaria were very rich, and the

The village ahead was quite obviously one of these poor villages, and because they were near to the Mirewood River, everyone in the village was infected, and there was almost no sign of life in the village. 

Influenza T was a manmade virus, and its biggest flaw was that it didn’t survive long, disappearing completely after three or four days in the water. So somebody had to constantly infect the water so as to use it as a biological weapon in this war. 

But once it had infected a person, the effects were as frightening as its original strain, the K Virus. It would head right into the bloodstream and cause massive changes to the body, and that was what made it difficult to treat. If Calista’s memory served her right, in her previous life, way more people died from this virus than from the effects of the war, and who knew how to create the antiviral capsule that eventually appeared after a year of research now? This belongs to NôvelDrama.Org.

When they saw someone coming, nobody in the village reacted. All of them were down to skin and bones, with some lying at home and some sitting by the road. Because of the infection, they were constantly feverish and had no strength to do anything. If they were hungry they would eat a little grass or some leaves, and drink water if they were thirsty. Once they couldn’t move at all, they would just wait to die. Within half a month, half this village had died! 

Calista put a leaf in her mouth and she could hear moans of pain coming out from the houses on both. sides. She continued walking as if she didn’t hear anything and headed straight for a young girl lying at the bottom of a tree. 

The young girl looked like she had been just infected and didn’t have symptoms like high fever. She was probably infected because of the wound on her leg and not because of the water she drank. Her left leg was severely injured by a bomb of sorts, and in such a village, any untreated wounds would definitely be infected with this virus. 

Calista squatted down and looked straight into the child’s eyes. She saw that the little girl did not have the emptiness, numbness or pain that the others had. Instead her gaze was unwavering, as if she was hoping for something. 

When she saw Calista, she opened her mouth and hoarse noises came out. 

“Can I see your wound?” asked Calista. Luckily many of the countries in this region spoke Uronian, and thanks to her good memory, this was no problem to Calista who was fluent in four different languages. 

The little girl took great effort to stretch her left leg out. Her face was thin and sunken, and so was her body. Calista rolled up the little girl’s pants leg and looked expressionlessly at a terrifying wound that was black in some parts and bloodied in others. It gave off the smell of rotting flesh, and some parts were 

moving slightly. Upon closer inspection, Calista realized those moving bits were actually maggots feasting 

on the rotting flesh. 

If Calista had not be reborn, this would definitely have sent her screaming in terror. 

But in her previous/ 

the same thing happened to her as well, and there was a time when she had to be the one to cut off the rotting flesh and maggots on herself. So when she saw this now, she only felt numb. 

That sort of pain and itch was so severe, and it could even be felt in the bones, and both the sight of it and the feeling could drive one mad. The little girl also seemed terrified of her own wound, but she didn’t have any strength left in her to struggle nor scream, so she could only look up at Calista, and Calista felt her heart go out to her. 

“171 help to dress your wounds, close your eyes if you’re scared.”

Chapter 

Calista took a deep breath. Her expression was distant as usual, but her eyes shone bright and there was a flash of determination. 

“No.” The little girl finally managed to speak, her voice extremely hoarse, and there was sadness on her little thin face. “I was infected with the horrible illness a few days ago…I’m dying…don’t waste expensive medicine…on me…. 

Calista pressed down on her leg so that she couldn’t move. “It’s not expensive at all. I picked all of these! from the forest next to the Mirewood River. They’re all herbs, see?” 

She pulled out a bunch of herbs from her backpack for the little girl to see. 

Calista knew that what this place really needed wasn’t a doctor to treat their symptoms, but medicine that could fight this virus! So she continuously picked herbs along the way here because she knew they would come in handy. 

Thankfully her memory was excellent and she could roughly remember the components of the Influenza Tantiviral capsule from her previous life. She had just scanned through so she couldn’t really remember the exact proportion and all that, but if she had access to a lab, she was confident that she could get rid of this manmade disaster! 

She took a while to think, but then quickly took action. She only had three syringes of anesthetic, so after giving the little girl one injection, she didn’t bother about disinfecting anything else. After running her surgical knife through a flame, she started cutting off the rotting flesh. 

The little girl looked very uncomfortable – before this, her pants covered the wound and she was already numb to the pain but when she saw how the maggots were coming out along with the black and red rotten flesh, the feeling almost drove her insane!
