Chapter 43 Outbreak
As soon as the broadcast went off, tourists immediately became commotion, but fortunately it was just a "cold" and did not cause any panic. However, some tourists had begun to pay attention to their distance, and those patients who felt unwell also took the initiative to contact medical staff and report.
"Don't worry, we will contact the Kagoshima Prefectural Hospital Bureau immediately for testing and identify the disease as soon as possible."
Morita patted his chest and promised, then left with the medical staff.
Xiao Wuyefu was left standing there, looking at Gu Ji, and lowered his head with a blush, "Miss Jiang Na, then... then I will go and maintain order first. If you need anything, call me again!"
"OK."
Gu Ji answered casually, his eyes always staring at the remaining excited tourists, his brows furrowed.
For ordinary influenza, this prevention and control measure is indeed effective, but if it is a more serious virus, this prevention and control can easily cause omissions due to a lack of attention to the symptoms.
The safest way is to implement a blockade.
I don’t know if the system will issue tasks to prevent the spread of infection in the future.
Once someone conceals the truth, the virus will be brought to Kagoshima.
This is not just a local incident, but will turn into a regional or even national incident! !
"Don't be nervous, sister, maybe it's just a common cold?"
Mio Ito shook Gu Ji's arm, trying to comfort him.
"We'd better stay away from the crowd."
Gu Ji took her and hid in a corner. He had not forgotten his first mission: not to be infected by the virus. Only one day had passed before the time limit required by the mission.
Thanks to the sufficient staff on the cruise ship, the patient screening took less than fifteen minutes.
After confirming that no one continued to report, the control room finally opened the hatch on the first deck with a click.
The tourists made a "wow" sound and crowded forward excitedly.
After people started to disembark, Gu Jicai took Mio Ito to the cabin door and reminded her not to touch the handrails.
Step on the deck and look around. Apart from the low and beautiful white buildings in the town, the most eye-catching thing is the blue mountains hidden in the clouds in the distance and the yellow rapeseed fields below the mountains.
Kagoshima is one of the few large cities in the world that is close to an active volcano. It is called Satsuma Fuji, and most people come here for this volcano.
Gu Ji is different. He is observing tourists and is always waiting for information about cruise ships and hospitals.
Theoretically speaking.
If it is a common influenza virus, the laboratory only needs four to six hours to detect the results, but if it is an unknown virus, it will take much longer. It needs to be screened, compared, reported, and retested.
In the evening, before returning to the cruise ship, he went to the largest local pharmacy in Kagoshima to purchase a sufficient amount of medical protective equipment at one time.
When they returned to the cabin, many tourists were still discussing topics related to Kagoshima.
Gu Ji directly went to the security guard named Xiaowu Yefu and asked about the condition of the disease.
"Ms. Jiang Na, please rest assured. Manager Morita has contacted the prefectural hospital bureau and confirmed that this is a common flu. It may be related to the recent drop in temperature in Yokohama. The medical office has already prescribed medicine to the patients."
Xiao Wuyefu scratched his head and explained.
Is it really the common flu?
Gu Ji frowned slightly. Did he make a mistake in his judgment?
Mio Ito blinked and smiled: "Look, sister, I just said it's okay!"
With doubts, Gu Ji prepared to go back to the "source of the virus", which was the man in the brown hat.
He found this guy easily at the casino.
Except for the cough, the erythema on the other party's body did not continue to spread, and there was no ulceration or bleeding. However, the corners of the eyes were somewhat congested. I don't know whether it was caused by further onset of the disease or by staying up late and drinking.
Let’s wait another day and see…
Return to the guest room and spend the night.
The cruise ship has gradually moved away from the Japanese waters and begun to travel to Xiangzhou, Xia Kingdom, and is expected to arrive in three days.
In order to make these three days of drifting at sea less boring, the cruise ship took the opportunity to hold many activities, such as water parks, electronic music festivals, opera performances, etc.
Gu Ji spent the whole day looking for those infected, but he went to all public areas and didn't meet many people.
Including the white-haired old man and the young white man he found on the deck at the beginning, he had not seen any trace of them since he returned to his room the night before and until he landed in Kagoshima yesterday.
"Have they not left their rooms all day?"
Gu Ji thought to himself.
In the end, I was forced to have no choice but to try my luck at the lottery held in the lobby on the first floor in the evening.
The maximum prize advertised by the cruise ship is 5 million yen. Although it can only be consumed on the ship, it is enough to attract a large number of tourists.
vomit--!
Before the lottery started, someone drank too much and suddenly began to vomit violently.
"Ugh...that's disgusting!"
"Go quickly!"
…
The tourists around him ran away with disgust on their faces. Gu Ji followed the sound and saw a young Japanese man with a middle part of his body, leaning on his knees with his hands, lowering his head and retching. The ground in front of him was covered with sticky things. It is yellow-green material, mixed with some red threads, and exudes a strong fishy and sour odor.
Manager Morita hurriedly directed the cleaning staff to clean.
At this time, the young man raised his head, his eyes were full of red bloodshot eyes, his cheekbones were red, and he had a painful expression, as if he was possessed by the devil.
"Wait! Don't get close to him! Everyone get out of the way!"
Gu Ji hurriedly scolded him, and the cleaner was so frightened that he stopped on the spot.
Cough, muscle pain, fever;
Subcutaneous redness, eyeball congestion, retching, and blood-streaked vomitus.
This is a symptom of viral hemorrhagic fever! !
There are many types of viral hemorrhagic fevers, but the complications and damage are very serious, such as epidemic hemorrhagic fever, dengue fever, Marburg hemorrhagic fever, etc. Among them, the most deadly virulent virus is the Ethiopian virus with a fatality rate as high as 90%. Bola!
Thinking of the name of this virus, even Gu Ji subconsciously took a step back.
"Da...Da died and opened the post..."
At this moment, in the guest room corridor on the fourth floor upstairs, someone was shouting for help. I saw a figure walking tremblingly to the stairs, "Da Shi Kai... ugh——!"
Before he could finish speaking, he vomited violently again.
But unlike the person just now, this time a large amount of red and black viscous matter fell from the air, crackling and hitting the lobby on the first floor. A lot of the liquid even splashed into the faces of nearby tourists!
"Looking for death!"
A black man yelled.
But in the next second, the figure suddenly stiffened his neck, twitched violently all over, and spit out blood. He fell down from the railing and fell heavily to the ground, like a rotten tomato. Sputtering in a fan shape, staining the cracked tiles red.
There was silence for half a second.
then.
Shocking screams broke out in unison:
"ah--!!"
