Chapter 732


    Sophia could no longer keep her eyes open. She slowly closed her eyes and fainted at the side of the


    road. The passersby saw the fainted Sophia, and they knew she was infected when they saw her


    ulcerated skin. They all avoided her, as if she was some kind of monster…


    It was 12.30PM. The Cethosian were done gathering, and several buses were already waiting by the


    door. The Cethosians got onto the bus excitedly, waiting to be evacuated.


    In the midst of all the turmoil and chaos of war, the foreign nations’ ambassadors escaped before the


    people did. The traffic system was down, and there were battles everywhere. People couldn’t go far


    without nes or ships; they could only wait for death. Foreigners who didn’t have a strong nation


    helping to evacuate their own people would have the same destiny. There was only one foreign


    battleship still stopping for its people at the harbor nearby, waiting to bring their people back home. But


    no one realized that there was a young life slipping away at the roadside.


    At the same time, a helicopter parked before the Cethosian Foreign Embassy. Around five to six people


    came out from the helicopter, both men and women. They were walking in a hurry, and they took out their


    Cethosian passport so that the embassy could verify and allow them to evacuate with the troop.


    Among them was a posh woman. Her dress was simple, and she was wearing sunsses. She stood


    out in the crowd with her dark, shiny hair and her curvy figure. She got out of the helicopter holding her


    passport, walked past the square, and was about to cross the road to the embassy on the other side,


    relieved to make it there in time.


    She suddenly saw the young life that was dying by the roadside. Her exposed arm was ulcerated; it was


    a symptom of infecting the Virs-18. Everyone knew that the person was dying, and there was no point


    saving her. They were scared to even go near her.


    She’d witnessed too many young lives dying by the side of the road like that on her way here, but she


    still couldn’t bear looking at them. Suddenly, the woman froze. She saw the face of the girl lying by the


    roadside. It was someone extremely familiar—someone she thought she would never see again!


    The woman took off her sunsses, and it was a face that often appeared on screens in cinemas. Her


    eyes were filled with joy and surprise. She quickly walked toward Sophia, turned her body around, and


    was ted to see her face.


    “Sophia! It’s you!” She shook Sophia vigorously, and Sophia opened her eyes forcefully as she heard her


    name. She saw the face of a strange woman. It was difficult for her to even breathe, and her chapped


    lips, which were bleeding, finally moved after some moment. “W-Who are you?”


    The woman didn’t expect her to ask that question. “It’s me! Nicole! Nicole Walker! Don’t you remember?”


    She had been in Africa for a film, but there was an armed rebellion, and the traffic was down. She just


    managed to get to the embassy, but she didn’t expect to see Sophia here. She looked at the wound on


    her arms. It was clearly a symptom of Virs-18!


    “Sophia, what happened? How are you here? Gosh, what exactly happened?” She knew what


    contracting Virs-18 meant, but she couldn’t understand what happened to her. Didn’t she die three years


    ago? The newspapers were all reporting her death three years ago. Both Taylor and her were


    assassinated, and it caused an uproar. Yet, she showed up here after three years!


    Sophia gasped for air with difficulty. She could feel her throat burning as she breathed, and it felt as if her


    throat was ripped open; it was difficult to speak. A person’s organs would start to ulcerate once they were


    infected by Virs-18, and it would start from the throat. Her mouth widened as she gasped for air, but she


    couldn’t breathe. All she felt was pain instead, as if she was breathing inva or like chilli powder


    entering her respiratory system.


    Nicole’s eyes reddened as Sophia remained silent. She immediately helped thetter up.


    “Nicole, what are you doing?” Her assistant was shocked to see her helping an infected person and


    wanted to stop her, but she was scared to go near her. Scientists were still clueless about the method


    Virs-18 spread, and anyone in contact with the virus might be infected. Being infected was equivalent to


    inevitable death!

    “She is my friend; I can’t watch her die. I have to help her!” Nicole was determined. She held Sophia and


    sought help from the embassy, but they were sorry to inform her that the disease couldn’t be controlled at


    the moment, and they couldn’t risk the lives of everyone in the bus. She had to be quarantined there, and


    she couldn’t leave with Sophia.


    Quarantine… Nicole was stunned when she heard them, but she could understand. If she brought


    Sophia with her, the people in the bus might be infected too. But leaving her to quarantine here would be


    leaving her to die!


    The embassy’s bus was leaving. They were thest batch of Cethosians, and the battleship would leave


    once they managed to get on. There wouldn’t be another chance if she missed this; she wouldn’t be able


    to leave this country that was caught in war.


    This nation was having a civil war, and the rebel army was going to attack the city. They almost


    overthrew the current government, and all they needed was the international powers’ support. They


    needed superpowers like Cethos to recognize the legitimacy of their regime, so the rebels and the


    embassy had reached an agreement to attack the city once their people evacuated. These agreements


    were useless once war started. The embassy might be turned into ashes within seconds. How can she


    stay here and quarantine! It would mean death if she didn’t leave!


    Sophia was feeling groggy, but she was aware of what was happening. She didn’t know who Nicole was,


    but she could tell that she seemed to know her and was trying to save her. However, she was infected by


    Virs-18 and was dying. The embassy couldn’t take her with them. If they did, she would infect everyone


    else in the bus.


    “You s-should l-leave…” Her voice was soft.


    Nicole looked at the bus that was leaving before looking at the dying Sophia. “How could I leave? What


    would happen to you if I left?” She was determined.


    “Oh, dear. It’s not the time to be kind. Thisdy clearly won’t make it. You can’t do anything even if you


    managed to bring her back! Let’s go!” Her assistant was still trying to persuade her. She tried to go near


    Nicole, but when she saw the terrifying symptoms on Sophia, she retreated out of fear.


    Nicole was panicking. She looked at Sophia and then at the soon-to-be leaving bus that was gradually


    filled with people. She was so panicked that tears were running down her face.


    “Why don’t you leave her here in the embassy? It’s safe here. I know that the leader of the rebel army is


    negotiating with the pharmaceuticalpany of the Michel Group. The Michel Group has managed to


    develop a special cure for Virs-18,” the staff from the embassy spoke to her kindly.
