Chapter 20

Leo's POV
Zara looked panicked by the story that I had just heard. I also never thought that the effects of our nation's actions would be like this. The impact was quite sensational and very bad. But what can we do, there are only two choices. Namely, we survive or become extinct. Aliens and humans compete with each other in natural selection. So we must really maintain our ecosystem to be stable. There is only one way, namely by devouring the ovum from humans themselves. If not, we will become extinct in this universe.
Zara continued her story that she had just found in the field from patient complaints and news that she got from outside.
"Emm, not only that, but some also died suddenly. This is really concerning and very critical. What should we do now, Doctor Leo? If this continues, humans could become extinct." With an expression that showed that the situation was very serious and urgent.
I also began to enter her mind by showing a reflection of her expression. So that I could not be suspected. If I looked calm, it could trigger something new. So I will show myself as if I am from a human race that is also thinking about the fate of human survival by finding a solution to overcome this major phenomenon.
But even so, I will still give Zara peace of mind so that she doesn't panic too much. I will show her my masculine side.
"Um, I'm also confused right now, doc. But we shouldn't panic too much. Believe that we will be able to overcome this problem as soon as possible. Although it may not be possible to find a solution right now. Let's wait for the future. I'm sure there will be a solution that suddenly appears in our heads, and we can realize it. If we panic too much, it will also hinder the research process later. Because excessive panic tends to affect the performance of our nerves. This is very vulnerable to our health later. If we are not healthy, this research will be thwarted. So it's better if we take a deep breath now and start calming ourselves down!"
Zara also began to take a deep breath following what I had just said. However, after that, she became quieter and even looked straight ahead like a frustrated person. I would be the same if I were human. But unfortunately, I am an alien who actually triggered this chaos.
"Eh, sorry!" While covering her mouth.
"Sorry, I opened the door too hard because this is serious!" Ismaya said giving us bad news.
Suddenly Zara's panic rose again and immediately turned to Ismaya with a curious look and at the same time could not bear to hear the news that Ismaya was going to convey.
I was also curious about the news that Ismaya brought. What would she tell us? We were really waiting for her to speak again.
Without us asking again, Ismaya immediately explained the chronology of what happened on her practice table.
"Seriously! The patient I was treating just now suddenly died on the spot and is now being taken to the forensics room."
"Huh?" Zara was stunned to hear it. Immediately turned to me that what she said just now happened directly in this hospital.
"Eee... One?" There was a pause, but I returned to complete my question, "Was there only one person who died on the spot?”
"No! No! There were three people at the same time. One person was being examined and two others died while queuing."
Suddenly Zara looked weak and fell unconscious. Maybe she was really shocked and couldn't control herself. She must also be very tired and had too many thoughts. Her body was clearly battered day and night just to handle this job. I started to feel sorry for her. I don't know why a feeling of not having a heart suddenly appeared like this. Maybe I had indeed been contaminated by feelings of liking her. Or even more than feelings of liking.
"Doctor Zaraaaa." I immediately shouted her name.
"Zaraaaa." Ismaya was also shocked at the same time as me to see Zara suddenly faint on the spot.
After being silent for a moment because of shock, we immediately took Zara to a proper place for her to rest, and she was previously examined by the doctor on duty in the general section. I started to look at her face which looked innocent when she was unconscious. This was the second time I found her fainting after the incident in the escalator room the first time.
After she entered the room, she was examined by a general practitioner. Then we were advised to leave the room first. To ensure that the examination would run smoothly.
We waited in front of the room.
"How is this, doc?" Ismaya said, looking really anxious. While pacing back and forth like an iron since earlier.
While I just sat there pensive with my hand as a support for my forehead. I was really confused now. This feeling of pity and not having a heart is now increasingly penetrating me. Transforming into a weakness that is difficult for me to control. I'm worried that something bad will happen to Zara. But on the other hand, I deny that there is no important connection between me and her. Zara is no one and is not part of my group.
In fact, Zara is our victim whose ovum must be taken immediately. I started to feel weak and could only stay silent with the dilemma that began to emerge within me. Between thoughts and feelings are clearly opposite this time. I had to strengthen myself and make a defense by remembering that Zara was not important for my survival and the alien nation, especially after we successfully took her ovum.
A moment later, the doctor who treated Zara came out and explained the results of her examination. I immediately stood up and Ismaya stopped pacing. We immediately approached the doctor.
"Doctor Zara is just in shock and exhausted. She just needs rest and blood-boosting medicine to make her body fit again."
"Okay, doc, thank you."
"Yes, you're welcome, I'll take my leave. Please, doctor Zara can be visited now!"
The general practitioner acted from in front of us and now Ismaya and I rushed into the room. To make sure of Zara's current condition. When I entered, I found that she was still unconscious. I felt sorry again and I saw that she was so weak. But I tried to push that feeling away. We immediately approached her and got closer to her position which was now lying down. I saw her face even though it was closed but she looked so graceful and beautiful. Suddenly my daydream was shattered by Doctor Zara's condition, who was starting to regain consciousness.
