Chapter 58 - From Cluj to Athene - Part 38

On the room where the Captain of this ship and a few soldiers are about to make the final preparations for their leave from this Port, Alina and the little girl are knocking on the door of this ship, and one of the soldiers are opening the door. When they opened the door a soldier is aiming his rifle and asks Alina in English language.

"Who are you? Identify yourself."

"My name is Alina, and this little girl needs help." responds Alina to those soldiers. "She couldn't find her parents on this ship, and one soldier told me to come here and talk with someone named Cadet Truman."

That soldier is lowering his weapon on the ground, he looks around into this ship, and he calls Cadet Truman to come here. The soldier who's named Truman came, and he looks at Alina, then at the small girl. He looks at Alina not so interested and asks her.

"What is the reason you have came here?"

"I wanted to find out where are the parents of this girl?" asks Alina, and she looks at the little girl who is shy and starts to hide on the back of Alina as soon as Cadet Truman laid his eyes on her.

"What is the name of this girl?" asks Cadet Truman to Alina.

Alina is looking at the little girl she is holding her hand, the girl is looking at Alina, then at the Cadet. The little girl is telling the Cadet her name:

"Catalina... Dobrocea Catalina."

"Nice to meet you, Catalina." says Cadet Truman to the little girl. "I'll be looking on it."

Cadet Truman is going to a computer, he stays there for a bit, types a few letters on there, and checks the tabs. After a few minutes, Cadet Truman is turning around to Catalina and is telling her the news.

"I'm sorry, but your parents have left this ship."

"What?" asks Alina in English because Truman it is speaking English to them.

"They were breaking three important rules established by us: stealing, violence and bad language. We had them thrown away from our ship."

Alina is looking at the little girl, and she realizes that the girl wasn't able to understand the whole thing Cadet Truman has said. So, Alina decides to tell her the truth in Romanian language and this has made her feel bad, but relieved for some reasons. She looks at Alina, hugs her and Alina asks her a question:

"You wanted to go and eat something?"

"...Yeah." says Catalina feeling a little better.

Alina is thanking the soldiers, especially Cadet Truman, and all two of them are going to the Cafeteria area to eat. While they were walking Alina is holding Catalina's hand as this gesture might seem to become something big and special in the future.

Meanwhile, on a room where Klaus and Ho Lee were sent to stay, these two are taking bunk-beds. Klaus is sleeping on the top, and Ho Lee Fuc is sleeping on the bottom one.

"Lee." asks Klaus staying on his bed while Lee is on a desk and looks at the newspaper he found in that van.

"Yeah?" asks Lee putting the newspaper which shows as the main title in English "Is The End?!".

"Are you going to find a way to go back to your country?"

"Yes."

"Can I come along with you?"

"What for?"

"I don't know. I j-just don't like staying around too much, you know?"

"I can somehow get it. But, why aren't you trying to go back to your country?"

"It is because... The things that happen lately in Germany, might be the reason which caused all of this infection."

"What do you mean?" asks Lee looking at Klaus who decides to raise from his bed and looks at Lee.

"Three months ago, before I came to Romania, my city, which was build close to a nuclear generator, had an accident, an accident which resulted into an explosion, doing a lot of casualties."

"I heard about this one. Is it because of those nuclear people are turning into monsters?"

"Probably. Because people from that area have started to get a lot of new disease. Mostly of these people died, and others lived without any complications... If that it is true then those who have lived might've been immortal to this disease."

"Yeah... Probably is good said. As now, we do not know much to think about this disease yet."

Those two are looking at the door, which is suddenly getting opened, and there he enters a soldier who are looking Asiatic, almost like Ho Lee. The man is looking at Ho Lee, and he asks him in Chinese language.

"Are you coming from China?"

"Yes." replies Ho Lee in Chinese.

"Bad news." says the soldier to Ho Lee. "The whole country is already blocked and most of the parts there are infested with zombies. I don't think the only solution to resolve that problem is to bomb the whole country."

"What?" asks Ho Lee feeling panicked and trying to take all of this information. "T-They are going to what?"

"Bomb the whole country." responds the soldier to Ho Lee not showing any emotion. "It is sad, but this is the only reason to achieve freedom for the people there."

"What if they aren't able to survive?!" yells Ho Lee getting up from the desk and looking furiously at the soldier.

"D-Do you have someone there?" asks the soldier while he was shaken by Ho Lee, but then it stops when Klaus intervene to get a grip of Lee aggressive behavior.

"M...My whole family is there."

"Which region?" asks the soldier.

"Wuhan." says Ho Lee to the soldier, which it made him sad.

"Sad truth is, that zone was the first nuclear explosion on the zombies. Your family is most likely not even alive there."

Ho Lee falls on his knees, he is looking down on the floor, tears are dripping out from his eyes. Klaus is trying to ask the soldier what is about because these two were speaking entirely in Chinese, but the man only replies with a sad face before he leaves this room.

"I'm sorry."

When the soldier left the room where Lee and Klaus are staying, the tears and sobbing will not be stopped after a few minutes. Klaus was trying to make Ho Lee escaping from this despair feeling, but this worked after Klaus promised him that one day, they will go there and try to find Lee parents, where they will be making a proper burial for them. Lee agreed on this idea of Klaus, and these are shaking their hands and then Lee tells something a bit emotional in English language.

"You are a good friend."

"Without you, I wouldn't even be alive here." replies Klaus to Lee.

After that, these two decide to leave their room and take a walk to the deck of this ship to see how are the things there.
