Chapter 41 The infection begins
Gu Ji turned his head suddenly and saw a young white man covering his mouth among the people on the deck enjoying the sunset and sea view. In his impression, he did not seem to have seen this person have close contact with the man in the brown hat, but if he was on the I didn’t know before lunch.
"I hope it's a coincidence..."
In the evening, the sea breeze on the deck was salty and humid. Most of the tourists did not wear much. It was normal to catch a cold and cough. However, the white-haired old man was old and had weak immunity.
He slowly approached and carefully observed the limbs of the white-haired old man and the young white man. There was no sign of redness under the skin, the muscle activity was normal, and the red blood streaks in the whites of the eyes did not increase. It did not look like a viral inflammation, and he felt slightly relieved. After a breath.
You know, it's only five o'clock now.
If these two people were really infected by the man in the brown hat, it would be terrible. The incubation period of four to five hours has almost caught up with the onset of influenza A. However, ordinary influenza does not cause red spots all over the body and is contagious. Not so scary.
The incubation period is short, the infection is strong, and the symptoms are severe.
Once a virus possesses these three characteristics, it is equivalent to a super nuclear bomb.
The first batch of infected people will experience a concentrated outbreak of symptoms within five hours, and through crowd gathering activities, the virus will spread exponentially, spreading from one to ten, and from ten to a hundred. In less than two or three days, the cruise ship will be completely destroyed! !
The entire body of the tourists on the boat was covered with red pimples that were festering and bleeding.
Just imagining this scene will make you shudder.
…
When it was dinner time, Gu Ji did not dare to enter the cafeteria again. He just stood outside the door and observed. The number of customers for dinner was less than that for lunch. They must have been diverted by other entertainment projects. Fortunately, except for the white-haired old man and the white man, he only had A Japanese woman was found to have symptoms of cough and fever.
Return to the guest room, swipe the card and open the door.
Mio Ito was hiding in bed in a daze. When she saw Gu Ji come in, she immediately stood up and said hello, "Sister, you are finally back. Are you done with your work?"
"Busy working."
Gu Ji replied and glanced subconsciously. The large area of fair skin dazzled his eyes. The waves were not big, but it was filled with a youthful and beautiful atmosphere, like a budding cherry blossom.
Good guy, take it off so fast...
Although he is not as lustful as Gao Bo, he is still a man with a normal heart after all. There is nothing wrong with looking at him more than once, two, three, or four times, right?
"Mio, my cold is not over yet, can you turn off the air conditioner temporarily?"
Gu Ji found the central air conditioning controller and asked.
In fact, he does not feel cold, but very hot. The main reason for doing this is to turn off the fresh air system of the ship, because the cruise ship is a semi-closed environment. If the virus can be transmitted through the air or aerosol, the central air conditioner will be turned on at this time. This is tantamount to increasing the risk of infection.
Mio Ito nodded, her twin ponytails swaying up and down.
"call……"
Turning off the air conditioner, Gu Ji took off his hat and mask with a grin. The steam was steaming inside. After wearing this thing for a day, his skin had already been red and swollen, and there were deep red marks on his cheeks and behind his ears. , the itching is unbearable.
"Oh my god sister, your face!"
Mio Ito was startled, jumped out of bed and opened her suitcase, "Sister, let me apply some medicine for you..."
"No, no, no, I'm used to it."
Gu Ji waved his hand to refuse, but this girl came over with two tubes of ointment, "These are fusidic acid cream and clindamycin gel, which can treat seborrheic dermatitis and acne and avoid skin infections."
After saying that, they each squeezed a drop on his face, used a cotton swab to apply it gently along the red and swollen areas, and it felt cool and comfortable.
"The most important thing for a girl is her skin. My sister just has a small cold. There is no need to wear a mask all day."
After applying the medicine, Ito Mio gently blew on his face one last time, "Phew! Okay!"
Gu Ji couldn't help but be moved by this girl's kindness and gentleness. He pursed his lips, took out an N95 mask from the medical supplies bag, handed it to her, and said, "It's better to be careful. This cruise ship is a semi-enclosed environment. Once influenza occurs, it can easily spread explosively."
Ito Mio was slightly startled when she heard this, and took the mask: "I don't understand very well, but thank you sister, I will pay attention..."
The next day.
Gu Ji was awakened by the sunlight. He rubbed his eyelids and stood up. He turned to look at Mio Ito. Unexpectedly, she had gotten up early and was sitting on the sofa looking out the window.
"Sister, are you awake? The ship seems to be arriving at Kagoshima soon. Let's get off the ship and play together!"
Mio Ito turned her head and suggested with a smile.
"That's fine."
The tourists will definitely disembark and go to Kagoshima, so it is useless for Gu Ji to continue to stay here.
When he was washing, he looked at himself in the mirror and always felt strange, especially his long black and shiny hair, which was particularly laborious to wash.
Being a girl is indeed much more troublesome than being a boy.
After finally blowing it dry, Gu Ji didn't want to put on so many troublesome things. Fortunately, Jiang Na brought a patch with her. She easily put it on, put on a white T-shirt, and enjoyed the feeling of freedom, not to mention how comfortable it was.
When he finished washing, the ship's whistle was sounded, the ship began to slowly approach the shore, and the cabin broadcast sounded to remind tourists that Kagoshima had arrived.
Gu Ji walked out of the room and just closed the door.
"Ahem..."
A violent coughing sound came from the front. When I looked up, I saw a tourist from Japan. Not only him, but his wife and children also had uncomfortable looks on their faces.
He raised his eyebrows and lowered the brim of his black peaked cap, "Mio, put on your mask."
"Huh? Oh, okay..."
Mio Ito took out a mask from her pocket and put it on hurriedly.
The two of them followed the crowd of tourists towards the elevator, but along the way, they heard coughs not only from the man's family, but also from at least three or four people.
"Stop waiting for the elevator, come with me."
Gu Jisheng had a bad feeling, and hurriedly pulled Mio Ito to squeeze through the crowd, came to the stern of the ship, and pushed open the door of the fire escape.
"Wow, sister, how did you know there is a secret passage here?"
Mio Ito thought she was taking a shortcut.
Come to the public area lobby on the first floor.
"Cough cough cough..."
"cough!"
"Oh, I feel so uncomfortable, my head hurts!"
"I will never sleep with the air conditioner on again. I seem to have a fever and feel sick all over my body!"
…
In the center of the hall, a large number of tourists gathered, waiting for the cabin to open and disembark. Gu Ji couldn't understand Japanese, but four complained in English, and there were even twenty or thirty people with coughs and fevers! !
Damn it!
The virus has spread!
Gu Ji quickly stopped a security guard who was preparing to maintain order and said hastily: "Immediately close the cabin door and contact the cruise ship infirmary, Kagoshima Prefectural Crisis Management Bureau, police headquarters, and prefectural hospital bureau for emergency control. There is an infection on the cruise ship." Disease outbreak! Hurry!"
