Chapter 57 Yezo
As soon as the helicopter landed.
Four chemical defense soldiers jumped out of the cabin instantly, and the muzzles of their rifles quickly swept through several key shooting points.
"Safety!"
"Safety!"
After confirming that the site was safe, seven or eight staff members also wearing protective clothing came out one after another, carrying various medical supplies and items in their hands.
The leader, a short middle-aged man with black-rimmed glasses, spoke first and asked the person in charge of the cruise ship.
Everyone subconsciously focused their attention on Gu Ji.
"Hello, I'm Jiang Na."
A trace of surprise flashed in the middle-aged man's eyes. He seemed not to have expected that the person in charge would be such a young woman. However, out of professional ethics, he politely said:
"Hello, Chief Physician of the Department of Infectious Diseases at the Navy Jeju Island Hospital: Kim Ki-il is responsible for assisting the Platinum Star cruise ship in the infection incident. There will be several rounds of material drops tonight, which represents some of the thoughts of the Republic of Korea!"
After the sound, a "click" suddenly appeared next to it, startling everyone.
It turned out that there was a staff member holding a camera and taking videos and photos.
Right.
There are so many "doing good deeds without leaving a name" these days.
After spending so many people and funds, we must publicize it, so that both the international community and our own people can have an explanation, otherwise it will be in vain!
"Thank you very much, we have prepared the test samples."
Gu Ji's mood remained calm.
Doctor Songdao on the side immediately handed over an incubator, which contained blood, vomit, feces, and raw meat samples from mild and severe patients at low temperature, which was enough for the laboratory to conduct laboratory tests.
Kim Ji-ri did not take over, but waited for the chemical defense soldiers to come up, pulled out a pipe gun from the backpack on his back, pointed it at the incubator and pulled the trigger, sneeze—!
In the blink of an eye, a large amount of white powder was poured out from the spray gun, and it all adhered to Dr. Matsushima's arms and the box.
Military disinfectant powder!
Gu Ji narrowed his eyes slightly. The caution and seriousness of the South Korean military would actually help him obtain the virus type faster and complete the side mission.
After taking away the test samples, the four chemical defense soldiers left with the helicopter, leaving only a few medical staff behind.
Their purpose is simple humanitarian assistance. Naturally, it is impossible for the South Korean military to intervene in this terrorist attack with the ship. Not only will it cause trouble, Japan may also seize diplomatic leverage.
"Tell me about the current situation in the cabin..."
"It's very serious. There are 3,700 people on the ship, and the number of infected people has now increased to more than 500!"
"14%?"
Kim Ki-il was also shocked by this figure. The infection rate of one in seven, in the field of infectious diseases, can no longer be described as serious, it is terrifying!
Next, Kim Ki-il asked in detail about the three elements of infectious diseases, patient symptoms, and prevention and control measures.
On the basis of the original prevention and control measures, he added several new prevention and control opinions, and Gu Ji agreed with them all.
Although he has acquired public health skills, he has only just reached professional standards. He is better than Song Dao, the ship's doctor, but he is certainly not as professional as Kim Ki-il, who has the rank of chief professor of infectious diseases.
Along the way, many Korean tourists and staff groaned and shouted when they saw Kim Ki-il, hoping that he would take them back to his country.
But Kim Ki-il could only shake his head helplessly. Obviously, he could not make the decision in this matter.
Looking at the disappointed expressions of the Korean tourists, Gu Ji couldn't help but feel that if this happened on Xia's cruise ship, the country would definitely save everyone at any cost.
But now...
Dragging his tired sleepiness, Gu Ji returned to the guest room after cleaning his whole body. It was already eleven o'clock at night, and there was still no sign of Mio Ito in the room. It seemed that this girl was determined to fight until the end.
Thinking of all the previous kind actions, they were in line with her character.
After washing, he went to bed alone and fell into sleep while thinking about the identity of the messenger.
When Gu Ji opened his eyes again, the sunlight stung his pupils so much that they hurt, and he reached out to rub his eyelids: "Ahem..."
"!!"
He was suddenly awakened by his own instinctive coughing.
The next moment, before he could recover from the shock, a touch of warmth slid along the nasolabial folds, onto his cheeks, and then flowed to his pillow.
Gu Ji turned his head and looked at it. On the white pillow, there was a bright red color at first sight, like wintersweet blooming in the cold winter, scattered and dyed!
His back stiffened.
Coughing and bleeding.
It's a viral infection! !
Gu Ji stared at his stinging eyes and couldn't figure out how he could be infected.
He had no contact with raw food, bodily fluids or excreta from infected persons.
Could it be that when I went to the intensive care unit yesterday...
He hurriedly wiped his nose with his hands, but the blood kept flowing out like a faucet that was turned on. At the same time, his face became flushed, as if he was drunk.
The disease breaks out very quickly.
The symptoms are the same as Morita's. This happens only after being infected with a huge amount of viruses in a short period of time!
Is it Ishiguro Kazase, the main messenger, or someone else?
Who is it?
who is it?
The more Gu Ji thought about it, the slower his brain thought, until a sudden stab of pain hit him, "Hiss... Mio! Mio!"
"Well……"
There were several charming moans from the side, followed by exclamations and screams: "Oh my God! Sister, why are you..."
"Don't come here! Did anyone approach the guest room yesterday?"
Hearing the footsteps, Gu Ji endured his needle-like headache and quickly stood up to scold him.
"I...I don't know. I've been taking my temperature down there. It was already late at night when I came back. Sister, you've lost a lot of blood!"
Mio Ito covered her mouth, looking horrified.
"Stay away from me, no... don't touch anything."
Gu Ji reminded him, and finally took out the intercom. After taking a few breaths, he said: "Dr. Jin, Matsushima, I...I am infected. Immediately send medical staff to take me to the intensive care unit, and then take Ito Mei Sakura is sent to the medical isolation area."
After notifying the medical staff, he patted his head, closed his eyes hard, and then opened them again, trying to wake himself up, and continuously changed the channel:
"Police Department, confirm the location of Ishiguro Ichinose."
"Control room, immediately check who was near room 3029 yesterday and ask the police to investigate..."
After giving several instructions in succession, Gu Ji finally couldn't hold on any longer and fell down on the bed.
When he woke up again, he was already on the bed in the intensive care unit. Next to him appeared a young and sweet face with twin ponytails, fair skin, and a pair of charming eyes.
It's Mio Ito!
"Why are you here..."
"She took the initiative to come and take care of you. There are too many critically ill patients in the ward, and the nurse can't even take care of you."
Doctor Matsushima said from the side.
"The virus test results have come out and it can be confirmed that it is a member of the Nairoviridae family. It is very similar to Crimean Congo hemorrhagic fever. The specific name is unknown. It is suspected to be a new mutant virus. There is currently no antigen vaccine."
At the end of the sentence, Dr. Matsushima sounded obviously a little lonely.
From the moment the virus broke out, Gu Ji became the spiritual pillar of the cruise ship. It was his original words: "As long as you believe in him, you can survive" that kept more than 3,700 people on the ship persevering.
But now, even he has fallen.
"CCHF..."
Gu Ji opened his mouth and waited for a moment, but did not receive a prompt from the system to complete the branch objective. It seemed that the name of the virus must be thoroughly confirmed.
He turned his head and asked with difficulty, "Mio, aren't you afraid of being infected..."
Mio Ito shook her head and looked at him tenderly: "I'm not afraid. As long as my sister is here, I'm not afraid!"
"Cough...cough..."
Gu Ji coughed twice and asked Songdao: "Matsudao, since there is Meiying here, you should take care of other patients first..."
Matsushima's eyes were a little red and he nodded.
After she left, Gu Ji called "walkie-talkie". Ito Mio hurriedly got it from the bedside table and helped him press the police station channel: "I am Jiang Na, how is the investigation going?"
"Ms. Jiang, apart from you and Mio Ito, there is only one cleaner in guest room 3029 who does daily disinfection. We interrogated the cleaner and found no suspicious signs."
Not getting the answer he wanted, Gu Ji could only shake his head.
Just when Ito Mio put down the walkie-talkie, her phone vibrated again. She patiently helped to take out the phone again, and the answer was Tamura Katsunobu:
"The investigation of Ishiguro Ichinose is still ongoing, but the source of infection and the suspect behind it have been identified. Through the virus test results shared by the South Korean government, we found the same kind of virus at the Microbiology Laboratory of Hokkaido University, which is a Kerry A special variant of the Mia Congo hemorrhagic fever virus, named Yezo, first began infecting humans in 2014, and has continued to infect humans until this year, with 7 people already infected and dead."
[Side goal: Determine the type of virus completed! 】
[Open the hidden goal: Find the truth about the corpse-killing cruise ship! 】
finished?
Due to the erosion of the virus, the system's beeps made Gu Ji's brain even more painful. He forced himself to sort out his thoughts:
"So you have investigated this institute and someone leaked the virus?"
"Yes, the Yezo virus research team is not large. In addition to the professor in charge, there are only 2 PhD students and 8 masters. One of them has a suspicious master's degree. He just took a leave of absence and booked a cruise on the Platinum Star. The ticket is called... Mio Ito!"
"Dududu..."
The call was suddenly hung up.
The air seemed stagnant.
A chill rushed down his spine and onto Gu Ji's head, and his heartbeat began to speed up, just at the moment he was about to shout.
Suddenly, Ito Mio's face suddenly appeared in front of him, and she grabbed her neck tightly. The originally charming and sweet facial features were all distorted into viciousness and madness:
"My good sister, I'm sorry, Mio deceived you too!!"
With a sickly smile, she kept exerting force with her fingers. The skin destroyed by the virus was like a tomato scalded with hot water. It was easily pinched and oozed blood.
Under the strong sense of suffocation, Gu Ji couldn't make any sound, and his eyesight became darker and darker.
Until consciousness is completely broken...
