Chapter 14

When Luis talked about sharing, you could notice that Maria and Talita were unhappy, good girls, while Lais was already putting her backpack on the floor with Carla following what Lais was doing.

It seemed like there was a medicine boutique on the facade that couldn't be identified, but as there are several medicines on display, you could assume that.

Behind the counter there is a door where a woman who appears to be over thirty years old came out, she is a little nervous, it seems that because of what is behind that door and not because of us, Luis must have already told this woman about us.

"Did you bring the food?, to give my husband the medicine without his stomach being empty"

Her husband was probably infected and a cliché.

"Can you give me some food, I'll pay"

The woman speaks looking at her.

I don't know what went through Lais's head for her to pick up her backpack and go with Ana, according to the analysis, towards the door behind the counter.

As expected, Carla went along.

Me: "Is her husband infected? "

I asked Luis before he went to the room with the sick man.

"It's not stomach pain, Ana said he drank water and started to feel bad, maybe the water wasn't well filtered"

After he answered me, I entered the room behind the counter, Talita held my arm.

"It would be good if you took a look at it to see if you can find anything, it looks a lot like what you said about the water"

"You said a lot, but I was thinking that"

She started to move away from me, I took a step towards her and placed my hand on her head.

"You don't need to be afraid to talk, I already told you"

Maria is also surprised by Talita's attitude.

"Close your mouth, flies will come in, I'm just kidding, there's no need for violence"

She made like she was going to punch me, I raised my arms playfully too.

We also went towards the back door, when I saw the man lying on the sofa inside I used analysis.

Infected: time until total infection is 1 hour and 13 minutes.

' programmed response 98: infection time varies according to the host's degree of resistance, ranging from 1 minute to 5 hours. '

I asked the system if there is a standard time until infection.

Maria and Talita looked at me, I nodded to them to confirm.

Now I don't know if this woman is worth wasting time here taking care of a dead man, let me use analysis on her.

Name: Ana Neves

Status: fear

Talent: medium

Deaths: (0 / 4)

Yes, it's not worth wasting time here, I'll just drop the bomb at once.

"he is infected"

Luis looked at me angrily, and Ana, who was next to her husband, looked at me strangely, while Lais gave me a complicated look and Carla was expressionless.

The girls next to me simply see the reactions of others in the room just like me.

I'm going to leave Luis here, he's irritating me, Lais and Carla, I don't know what to do with them.

Luis: "you can't say what you're not sure about"

"but I'm sure of it"

"Just because your ability says so doesn't mean it's true"

He responds by standing in front of me in a fighting stance.

"if I were you I would choose your next words"

" or what are you going to kill me? "

I didn't respond, I just took a look that even I would be scared, but since he's acting like a hero, he didn't notice.

Lais: "let's calm down, walace can I talk to you for a bit? "

She got between us, facing me as if I were going to explode, and it was all a question of posture, in a fight normally when a person breaks up a fight, she turns her back on the more stable person, in this case she turned her back on the luis, so for her I'm a threat.

" he can talk "

I said simply looking into her eyes.

"You don't think you're taking everything you see about your ability as an absolute truth, you could be wrong"

Ok, I've made up my mind, I'm going to leave her here too, I don't need people who don't trust me, not only because of that, but she's more inclined to trust Luis for some reason, maybe age, I don't know.

"no problem, Maria and Talita, let's go"

Lais: "Walace, could you leave some food? Please "

Maria: "hey, don't you think you're asking for something you're not entitled to"

I looked at Lais and thought a little, I decided to leave a box of cookies.

After that I simply turned away, Maria and Talita followed me, it's no longer worth going through the trouble of arguing over a box of biscuits, I still have four more.

I have the impression that we will meet again, but only God knows under what conditions.

When I left I picked up some packs of gauze and some pain pills that we needed.

Maria: "I didn't need to leave that box"

"Even though she still acted like that and I didn't want to say goodbye to her without expressing some gratitude"

"I'm sorry I hadn't thought about that, I was too focused on now"

She was a little dejected, so she patted her head.

"How are you, Talita? "

"yes, I'm just scared for her"

I didn't respond, I just gave an affirmative nod.

After that we went towards the fourth floor to get water.
