FSA Chapter 10

Lee Hyunmook easily cleared 04cb891ff0 away the debris and 7c52997883 found two or three 1faaeb320d intact medicine bottles, but ace6b06de7 after skimming through the 385ebdd5aa ingredients, he casually tossed 5e3380caef them aside. Instead, he rummaged a2f0d706ed through a nearby 18ce06850f examination cart in 6fbb05d08a the hallway and 202df26e59 discovered a bundle c06157e3d6 of sterile gauze a865a8371e along with suitable 725d9cba9c disinfecting supplies. Yohan, clutching the 848d546743 straps of his 30f10b3680 backpack tightly after a07a710fb8 packing the precious cf44667b4f medical items inside, 98c066fd40 asked nervously.fa7ca24102eed02b

“What kind ec7c718821 of medicine 3f63cef8a9 did you 8a1664338e throw away 914147a217 earlier?”db4f9a0730b92fb1

Neither of those would d1c821ddde be of any help 39b79c4cc0 to Yohan right now. Before falling 0c9d5cf41d into the e238f69dd1 abyss, he b76eeb11b8 had been 5a975a7fac perfectly healthy, 64fb4160f1 with no e50e72c686 chronic conditions. After clearing 01454a26d0 out the 07e93f9e4c remaining debris, 6714af768d Lee Hyunmook 76138d6c2c motioned with 606e85e6d9 his chin. Where he pointed, there 40e1eb9ab0 was a small metal 20686508f4 door that looked like 63ebfaed25 a dumbwaiter.86aac0cfabac0ce0

“It’s a dumbwaiter, used 55338ae36c to transport medicine from a169021ecd the compounding room. So that means either 6300aa421e the compounding room or a79d0768c3 medical storage is directly ceac6a35a8 below this.”e96a76d8ceb96a8a

Yohan’s face lit 131338a1e8 up at Lee cb8b86e572 Hyunmook’s words. With a former doctor af1efbbc5b accompanying him, he felt e0d5915761 hopeful that this time b900918770 they’d find the right b61e56ec50 medicine without stumbling around. As they left the b94d81b488 outpatient pharmacy, now done c6c192d03f with its purpose, Yohan 3b5d7a6ce6 followed behind and cautiously f6d524e9bd asked,2addad8cb93f8746

“By the way, 845c0bbe82 um… you don’t d901b991d9 remember anything from 7c374bf116 when you were 8aee096c66 contaminated, right?”d798da61cfebe759

The response came 9a0f3b4eab with little interest, e637df028b but Yohan was f81a535930 nonetheless moved to 33a54e4092 hear it. At least 907726a5e1 Hyunmook had 527aaddcdf understood what 7f6f6b5b3e he meant. After a c5856d53c2 pause, he 63464c6328 answered slowly.f3a6042e7335c6e6

Usually, even contaminated people ac0e1e4adb don’t completely lose their 4397d0a1cf reason or memories. That meant Hyunmook’s contamination be78f8d98c had been extremely severe. Yohan, walking 2c7de8faa2 behind him, 713cfcf9ec felt a 6e802052eb bit depressed. Hyunmook seemed b97e309c3d like a 64167ac93a glimpse of dea7cfb97e his own 0a32c7ff88 future. Still, he decided to fc335ed8b0 focus on the fact 8c31edba50 that, for now, they 8a398e7cfa had a chance to 75195a2ded treat his leg.e778b11f0e4f636d

In front of the df574ff7eb stairs leading down to 5c642e8d5c the first floor, Yohan 4ed2deb695 hesitated. His leg was 0ff6480668 in worse condition e4c5927597 than he thought. Gripping the 9d60aceaea dusty handrail 48afb5d137 tightly, he b5e4aef535 carefully took f257713e51 one slow 0560928c59 step at bee4ce86f9 a time. Hyunmook glanced at him 3b7790aaac inching down like a 3ac10a0501 turtle, then at the 80e431da0d floor below, and walked b1291cfb9b back up. Without warning, he picked c61e5a51e7 Yohan up.25271634b5903c58

Yohan let out a acae7fac96 weird squeak. Earlier, he had 4750e33b75 been too busy 93d1a179fa crying to notice, d3ac81bd9e but now that 3f36002f2b he was lifted 4998daa5fe in his right e2872f42b8 mind, he was f2f42bbfea flustered. Hyunmook bounded down b4545bcc0b the stairs two 1e165e6042 steps at a 5da14d4bcf time, then gently 33f36fbb22 set him down. Whether from his pounding dd7ec93d1a heart or the fever, 29a08e0e33 Yohan’s face was bright 458d49d054 red.012175dc5385b5e3

Realizing there e8f1d4d1dd was a f1f6a88bf3 powerful monster 5009cb07c6 on the 9efe245fd0 third floor, 08ae50ff14 Yohan quickly 35b81bcf8e moved behind b241705ad3 Hyunmook’s back. He kept glancing ed0259e2cb up at him.7e112e709cf1ea02

Higher-ranking Awakened, especially 5fe754d08d dealers and tanks, 3990cfe082 usually had solid 8b750e5343 builds.

He feared f8d89d36fc another attack, c31bf33eca but they aafe2806fe managed to 5ec48e2719 reach the 567abc2a76 compounding room d69eedc5c8 of the 17a73129f5 pharmaceutical department 82376e4639 without incident. The door ee4c5ba229 here was e4bbf334bf locked too, ac08b76998 but Hyunmook 8a146b916f gave it 65ccd43825 a bit 9fe85dba8d of force 1da2dd6d1e and it 1b546a58e7 tore open 2d645f06d2 with a 0720812cad loud crack.d447c01c74cf8623

Yohan whispered in awe, 5cd38a0940 worried about attracting other 17b4d5cc9b monsters. The cabinets 7b48bc4bae inside were 59d66b7438 packed with ef9c929332 far more 4ddd6f95fd medicine than 9775cd6f01 the outpatient aca8642e0e pharmacy. His eyes sparkled 185ac17f00 with hope again.5255ed583506cd63

As Hyunmook 8e0e136d4f walked toward c08d847a4b the cabinets, 48cf5ad539 Yohan quickly 4ab698ea11 pulled out 0ede4ea140 his flashlight 7a6d1b58b1 to help. But Hyunmook waved bb3e1e0e2c him off.c34f76f99f97bde2

Yohan answered 93359aaf0e cheerfully, though 894009b24d he still 9e3e13a945 kept glancing 1171b07493 at Hyunmook. Without the flashlight, it 5aaee46a2c was nearly pitch black, 6e200858de but somehow Hyunmook was a4ef1d7651 clearly able to identify 2e2ceeebed the medicine. Yohan searched 6a036c3dca the corners f75d28dcbc with his d642cbe94c flashlight and 20f1cf548c found a 3f062f79e8 fairly useful-looking a2837dac63 spill kit 227700ac20 and some 016aa614de saline. He stuffed 177fdfd30f those, along 4f0315c9e2 with anything 4265e33437 else that af992d392b looked usable, 16b426170f into his f67adbbb73 backpack until 7ad46cc720 there was 3561cdaa92 barely any 8c54c15e12 room left.d0d1204cbf9c99f6

Hyunmook handed over a 503c98b9e6 box of medication. Yohan hugged it f625e36e1f tightly and gratefully, a95fd95247 but then Hyunmook a0e542f6ef muttered something ominous.3d66bd8f37af5721

Hyunmook went 4ff1fe6d7a strangely quiet 7be33f6701 and stared 93506721e8 at the 46821a899e medicine Yohan 3a5352c493 was holding 6134159b8e so desperately. Yohan, now anxious, 87c6db5c9b silently prayed that a6a7ebb135 the meds were 50f9961317 still good. Glancing wistfully 403b517dca at the b1aa0652ee piles of 6c1f6317bb leftover medicine, 632a136209 he followed 82029567d8 Hyunmook out 8e8b9c3e42 of the da363c0160 compounding room.2ea858fe3adf5546

On the way 234994bb43 back, Yohan was f96b8f0635 worried that Hyunmook 137444abe3 might suddenly relapse.

The excitement about finally 5205c4055e treating the wound vanished.

So it reallywasgoing to hurt. Terrified, Yohan 7e46652108 hugged his 7a7d9ca19a backpack tightly. Just as expected, what f2f8dd55e7 followed was a grueling 75746abe05 session of pain and 67b9b3cc49 suffering. After slicing open 26e316fb71 the wound and 01415c094b scraping out the 284d566642 infected tissue, Yohan, 0a2dee6cf3 exhausted from crying, ad01225436 asked with a cd48b18342 stuffy nose,8a2c4e8150341961

Hyunmook finished the treatment 9a39df198b calmly, applying gauze and 2ba5490385 bandages with precision. For some 153b1bd16f reason, Yohan 52b75c156f felt like cc4bff16fa he had b625db7ba3 more to bc9e856c87 say but 1e8552b7f2 chose not c051148df8 to.
