Chapter 44 Blood Corpse
"Dead man!"
"Get out of the way! Get out of the way!"
…
The passengers who were originally excitedly preparing to win the lottery now felt as if they had encountered a devil. Their facial features were distorted with fear, their hands and feet were weak, and they were running away from the dead bodies like birds and beasts.
Passengers resting in guest rooms on the second, third and fourth floors were also attracted to come out and lie down on the corridor railings.
Gu Ji stared intently at the battered corpse.
Blood seeped out from wounds and holes on the corpse's skin.
But he could vaguely identify the white-haired old man on the deck three days ago from the clothes on the deceased's body and the silver hair on his head!
Who would have thought that it only took three days.
The virus turns a living human being into rotten flesh.
This is the horror of hemorrhagic fever virus!
Once infected, the onset of illness is sudden, with fever and various muscle pains in the early stages. At this time, the characteristic symptoms are not obvious and may be misdiagnosed as influenza;
In the mid-term, the virus multiplies rapidly in the body, human tissues are destroyed, and internal bleeding, subcutaneous erythema, vomiting blood, etc. may occur;
In the severe stage, many organs are turned into liquid by the virus, and blood will flow out of the skin, eyes and nostrils. In severe cases, a large amount of blood will be continuously vomited, and a part of one's own intestines may even be vomited out, until death from blood loss.
The whole process takes as slow as half a month;
Faster, only a few days!
Morita's expression changed suddenly. He wiped the cold sweat from his forehead and hurriedly contacted the cruise ship police office and the infirmary through the intercom. He also directed the cleaning and security personnel to surround the dead body and shouted a warning:
"Please also ask everyone not to take videos or damage the scene until the cruise ship police and doctors come to investigate and solve the problem!"
"I said! Don't get close to the corpse! You will get infected!"
Gu Ji yelled again, the main way of spreading the hemorrhagic fever virus is through blood and secretions. Now the body is surrounded by blood and vomit. If you accidentally get it, you are likely to be infected!
Hearing the word "infection", the staff who were about to get close to him suddenly turned pale.
At this moment, the crowd noticed Gu Ji's dress.
On such a hot day, not only was he covered tightly, but the most important thing was that he was also wearing a mask and medical gloves! !
"Wow!"
Everyone immediately pushed back. Several tourists who had been hit by blood rushed to wipe the blood on their faces with their sleeves, and some simply took off their clothes and threw them on the ground.
"Miss Jiang Na, please don't cause panic or interfere with the tour..."
Morita quickly stepped forward to warn, but before he could finish his words, Gu Ji rushed forward like a tiger, grabbed Morita by the collar, and held him down: "Interference!? You fucking said I interfered?" ?!”
"Didn't you say that the test result is just a common flu? Is this a fucking common flu? Have you sent a virus blood sample for testing?"
The entire lobby of the cruise ship echoed with his hysterical shouting.
Gu Ji's eyes were red.
Regular hospital laboratories will never confuse hemorrhagic fever viruses with ordinary influenza viruses, so Morita did not send the patient's blood sample for testing at all. In other words, from the beginning, he did not intend to report it, but wanted to report it. Put the matter down!
Just for the profit from a trip.
Risking the lives of more than 3,000 people on the entire ship?
What's the difference between this and the bald tattooed thug in the airport massacre! !
Morita froze in place, speechless.
But after all, he was the ship manager in charge of a top-notch luxury cruise ship. He quickly reacted and reached out to grab Gu Ji, trying to break away and resist, "You... what are you talking about..."
"Yeah!"
At this time, the cruise ship police and doctors finally arrived and were ready to stop the dispute between the two.
But before they had time to separate the two, a breathtaking sound came from the crowd, scaring others to hurriedly avoid them.
"Haha...heh..."
Gu Ji turned around and saw that it was the middle-parted man who had excreted vomit just now.
For some reason, he froze in place, his face expressionless, as if he was wearing a mask, his eyeballs were numb and dull, staring intently, his two eyeballs seemed to have been frozen in their sockets, and turned into bright colors. It was red, with rashes all over his face, and ruptured blood blisters.
"Yeah..."
Suddenly, he took a deep breath again, his back arched suddenly, his claws twisted, his whole body twitched, and he vomited blood, as if he was just like a zombie in a biochemical apocalypse movie!
Plop! Not far to the right of the man in the middle, another female tourist suddenly fell to the ground, her limbs were struggling and scratching wildly, and her body was twitching and shaking left and right.
"Wife! Wife, why are you..."
The woman's husband hurriedly helped his wife who was convulsing and foaming, but without saying a word, "Ugh——!"
The man vomited violently, and the yellow-white viscous substance mixed with a large amount of bloodshot was sprayed on the woman's face. At the same time, two European and American tourists beside him, who were holding their noses and looking disgusted, also retched on their knees.
Plop, plop...
One, two.
In the corridor upstairs, two infected people who were suffering from high fever couldn't hold on and fell to the ground one after another.
"Here you go (run quickly)——!"
"ah!!"
"Run! The corpse has transformed!!"
…
In an instant, the crowd was in chaos, as if it was the end of the world. Everyone was running wildly in the lobby. Some ran to the elevator, some rushed directly to the cabin door to escape to the deck, and some hid in the stores in the mall.
While running, several tourists with high fever fainted and fell to the ground.
Countless panicked footsteps echoed in the cabin, like huge waves.
Morita, Matsushima, Kotakenoo...
Whether it was the manager, the security guard, the police, or the ship's doctor, everyone was shocked by what they saw, as if they had received an electric shock, and were in a state of semi-dementia.
At the critical moment, Gu Ji pushed Morita away and glanced at the policeman's waist. A black Sig Sauer P230 pistol fell into his hands. He pulled the slide, turned off the safety, and pointed it at the ceiling of the hall: Bang! boom!
Two gunshots were fired.
The turmoil came to an abrupt end!
Everyone squatted on the ground on the spot.
"You...what are you going to do!"
The policeman who had his pistol taken away reacted suddenly and backed away quickly, while his colleague hurriedly pulled out his pistol and pointed the muzzle at Gu Ji.
"Everyone, stop where you are! Listen to me!"
Gu Ji yelled, raised his pistol, and slowly placed it on the ground to show that he was not a threat. Two police officers immediately stepped forward and kicked the gun away, grabbed his wrist, and held him to the ground.
But Gu Ji didn't stop and continued to shout:
"My name is Jiang Na. I am an observer in the Epidemiology Department of the Xiangzhou Health Protection Center. Under the instructions of the Supreme Medical and Health Bureau of Xiangzhou, I am responsible for investigating the mysterious virus incident on the cruise ship. Please believe me and do not run around. Otherwise, you will be trampled and injured. , This will only allow infected people to mix with healthy people, making the virus spread faster!"
