I will resign and go to Australia

chapter 26



26 episodes. During that time, I lost a lot.

There were pale orange dots all over the sector.

I ran through the chickens and approached it.

“egg?”

White and flesh-colored eggs were scattered everywhere.

This is a place where broilers are raised, not laying hens, but chickens can lay eggs without mating.

These eggs were unfertilized.

The orange color was coming from some of the eggs.

‘The mother was infected and the egg was also infected!’

I immediately remembered what my priorities were.

The important place is not here.

I went straight out of the sector and found Joshua.

She was talking to Sam, the department manager.

“Joshua.”

“Jin, how are you?”

“I think the screening of infectious agents can be solved.”

“Really?!”

Joshua asked with his eyes wide open.

Sam next to him had a look of disbelief.

“I’ve got something more important than that.”

“Yes? More important than that?”

“I found an infected egg. It is clear that the virus was transmitted from the mother to the egg. We must hurry to the hatchery.”

Sam groaned at my words.

“What do you mean!? You can even infect eggs! How do you know that?”

“Wow, I don’t have time to explain. But what I’m saying is true.”

“No way, Joshua. How do you check that without a test kit? Even veterinarians can’t tell with the naked eye.”

At his words, Joshua raised his hand to stop him.

“Jin, are you really sure?”

“I’m sure.”

“If you’re wrong, we will suffer painful losses with only added confusion. The amount of damage will be indescribable. I ask again. Are you sure you are really infected?”

I nodded without hesitation.

“I hope I’m wrong too, but unfortunately it’s true. And if Joshua doesn’t believe it, the damage will be much greater than what you said before. What would you do?”

Joshua took a deep breath as he looked around the killing sacks scattered throughout the factory.

Then he rubbed his forehead and said.

“Get in the car. Let’s go to the hatchery together.”

“Joshua! Do you really believe those Asian words!?”

“Stop. For now, we focus on what each of us has to do. If the boss had been here, he would have made the same decision as me.”

“I’ll report to Alex, Joshua. You’re going to take responsibility for the mess.”

Joshua ignored him and got into the car and started the engine.

I spoke on her behalf.

“Hey, Sam. Instead of taking responsibility, take action now.”

“what?”

“After checking the hatchery, I will come back and screen for infection. So, make sure to empty a sector and make sure it is disinfected. We will have to collect the uninfected chickens there.”

“If not, you better be prepared!”

Sam frowned with a bewildered look in his eyes.

“Think about how you’ll apologize to me when I’m right.”

“Jin, get on fast!”

I ran to the passenger seat at Joshua’s urging without hearing an answer.

“Hey, Asian! You said Jin!? I’ll remember that!”

The screams continued from the back of the moving car, but they were not heard due to the rattling noise of the car.

“Jin, I’ll step on it. Fasten your seatbelt!

Yes, no matter how busy you are, you must wear a seat belt.

-Burreung. Bureung. Tal Tal Tal.

But why is it so slow!

“How is it? Are you sure you have an infection?”

Alex asked the chief veterinarian who was the leader among the veterinarians coming out of the chick room.

“That’s right. Highly pathogenic avian influenza is certain.”

“shit!”

“The problem is right now, there are a few dozen, but it’s hard to guess how many chicks are incubating.”

“Even if all the staff rush to check it out!”

At that, he sighed.

“It is more difficult to identify than the adult. It is not easy for us to distinguish either. When will we be able to educate and when will we be able to select?”

“Then what do you mean?”

“All chicks in the cage must be slaughtered. It’s best to refill the cage with chicks from hatching eggs.”

“Everything from a young chick to 20 weeks old?!”

“Yes. Chicks have a weak immune system, so it will spread faster. You need to decide quickly.”

“Oh, my God······”

In the hatchery here, the mother chickens, laying hens, and chicks from 1 to 20 weeks were gathered before moving to the breeding farm.

But all the chicks except those that haven’t hatched must be slaughtered.

Alex wanted to deny reality.

But he couldn’t postpone the decision to anyone else.

It was because the president and the vice president, who were the top decision makers, were on the plane and could not even contact them.

“Alex!”

“Ah, I see. Instructions…”

That was then.

Turrr.

Alex picked up the phone as soon as the ring rang in his back pocket.

– Alex, this is Sam.

“Sam? What’s wrong with the farm DM? Another problem?”

Sam told over the phone what had happened with Joshua and the Asian she had brought.

At that, Alex’s eyes widened.

“What? Did that Asian person say he could screen for an infectious agent?! He said he was also infected with eggs?!

– Yes, Alex. I refused because it was possible without a test kit, but Joshua intervened and I couldn’t do anything.

Joshua was the head of the H&R department at Inham headquarters.

In a word, it could be said that she manages the pool of all employees.

So Sam, the department manager (DM), would not have been able to strongly restrain her.

“Haha, I’m going to die of a headache because of the hatchery, but I don’t know why even Joshua is doing this.”

– A hatchery? Alex, are you at the hatchery now?

“Yeah. Even the chicks are infected, so the problem is serious. Whoa.”

-Joshua and the Asian went there too. He said that the chicks would also have a problem, so he left earlier. The time has come to arrive by now.

“What?”

It was time for Alex to ask a question in bewilderment.

The entrance door opened and Joshua and an Asian man followed behind her.

“Sam, I just arrived. I’ll stop.”

Alex hung up and walked over to Joshua.

“Joshua, I got a report from Sam. What’s going on with this now?”

“If you get a report, we’ll talk sooner. Alex, give Jin a chance.”

“I can’t allow it! How can I check an infected egg without a test kit? Common sense doesn’t make sense!”

Despite Alex’s shouts, Joshua did not back down.

Although she is the head of human resources, she has been an employee at Inham longer than general manager Alex.

“Alex, how about doing this?”

The chief veterinarian, who was watching from the side, separated the two and said.

“What do you mean?”

“I’m trying to see if that friend can find a chick infection.”

“……!”

Alex thought it was a graveyard.

If the chicks were not properly selected, there would be no eggs to see.

“Good idea.”

“Then I’ll go and get some.”

Alex said as he entered the nursery.

“What’s your name?”

“It’s Jin.”

“Yeah, Jin. I’ll give you one chance. Time is five minutes. If you find an infected chick within that time, I’ll do whatever you want. But if you fail, leave immediately. I can’t clutter the scene any more.”

I said raising my index finger.

“Five minute? No. just one second!”

***

Beep, beep.

The box in front of him contained ten chicks.

Among them, only one was confirmed by the veterinarian.

Suss.

I activated clairvoyance near the box.

And immediately picked up one.

“This is it, Infectant.”

It had a pale orange color, so there was no way I couldn’t pick it out.

The veterinarian took the chick and looked closely at the anus, eyes, mouth, and even the skin under the fur.

He looked into it for a moment and nodded.

“you’re right.”

When the word “correct” fell, shouts erupted from those around him.

As I said, it was the reaction that came out when the selection was done in just one second.

“Now?”

“Uh, how did you pick it up without even looking at it properly?”

“What can I do? It’s a secret because it’s the family’s vision.”

I looked at Alex and grinned.

It’s a family vision, so I can’t say much.

“Even if it’s a chick, is it really possible to screen for infected eggs? Without a test kit?”

But this time, the veterinarian came and asked.

Tired, really.

“Did you just live by being deceived? I’ll sort the chicks first as soon as possible, so keep an eye on them. Then you’ll find out.”

I put on a protective suit, a mask, and safety glasses and headed towards the breeding room.

Behind me, Alex’s instructions followed.

“Wow…”

The only chicks I’ve ever seen in my life were chicks in paper boxes sold in front of school when I was a kid.

The chicks I saw for the first time in my young eyes could not be so cute.

Only 500 won.

It was the price of a chick in exchange for the favorite tteokbokki.

But even if I gave him food and loved him with all his heart, he was dead the next day, and I cried sadly because I thought he died because of me.

so three times.

After three deaths, he didn’t even look at the chick anymore.

But here, the chicks were crowded all over the place, as if asking to see me.

“It’s a breeding room that only collects chicks from the first chicks to the first week.”

To my surprise, a staff member explained it to me.

Huh, great. So, that means there are 20 more of these.

“Incredible.”

“Let’s start screening. As time goes by, the number of infections will increase.”

“all right.”

I took a stick from him and patted the palm of the other hand to look at the chicks.

All I had to do was pick an orange-colored chick and point it with a stick.

The staff then transferred the chicks to the prepared mobile cage.

so twenty times.

It took less than an hour to go through all the breeding rooms in the hatchery.

The chief veterinarian watched the chicks being sorted next to him, shook his head, and entered the second check with fellow veterinarians at the place where the cages for mobile were gathered.

It made me think that it is indeed a large company that does not believe only what I say and reconfirms it according to their own system.

He came to me on the way to work and spoke in an excited tone.

“Currently, up to 30% of the reconfirmation work has been completed, but it has been confirmed to be 100% infected. It seems likely that the rest are also infected!”

what did i say I’m sure it was

“I’m glad. How about the breeding room?”

“It’s been two hours and we’ve been told that no more chicks showing symptoms are coming out. We’ll have to wait a little longer, but at this point the sorting process is working. That’s great, really!”

The chief vet patted my arm and smiled coolly.

Ugh, what kind of power a veterinarian is so good.

“Then I think I’ve proven my skills. Shall we talk about business soon?”

I turned to Alex and raised one corner of my mouth.

“business?”

“What?”

Alex and Joshua asked, suddenly startled, as if they were talking.

“Hahaha, why are you surprised?”

“Aren’t you an Inham employee? So you can’t help but be surprised by the business talk.”

Oh, you’re an employee, so you’re going to wipe your mouth?

I can’t.

“Zep. That’s right. Then I’ll have to go back to the Hanging Dock. Good luck with the finishing touches.”

“What? Back?”

“Why? Are you going to have me move from the hanging part to this department now? Because I’m a casual job (part-timer)?”

“……”

“This is disappointing. Inham thinks that the value of labor is only that….”

I took off my protective suit and brushed my clothes by hand.

It’s like breaking up a relationship with them.

“In the meantime, I’ve been indebted to a lot.”

At that, Alex wiped the sweat from his forehead and shouted urgently.

“Come on, wait a minute!”
