Chapter 200: Infectious Disease on Board
"For me?" Qiu Xuan repeated this meaninglessly, and suddenly, she touched her chin and smiled, and said coldly: "Are you a person?" ”
Avet: "......? ”
Yavet: "That's not what people say. ”
The girl named Ye Qing wiped the blood from the corners of her mouth without changing her face and faced Qiu Xuan. "I don't know what your definition of 'human' is, but for now, I'm of the same species as you."
"Then why speak for me?"
"You're a lot like my sister."
Qiu Xuan: "? ”
"Don't get me wrong," Ye Qing finally turned around and glanced around the people in the room, "I know you look down on me because I'm a newcomer. As for me helping you, it's just because you're like her, that's all. ”
"So you ......"
"So if you want to thank me, take me with you for the rest of the while. It's really inconvenient to at least pull me in a crisis - I don't want to die. ”
Avet glanced at her, signaling that she didn't see anything wrong with the person. Qiu Xuan thinks she is really temperamental, but in fact, she likes to deal with this kind of person. From the very beginning, everyone spread out their ambitions and goals, and then relied on their abilities to compete for what they wanted, even if they lost the plan, they would scold and then launch a more frank and crazy revenge. is rival, but it is also vicious and cunning.
didn't say good or bad, and said lightly: "You guys can collect all the rags that you have beaten down." He turned and walked out of the lounge.
She declined everyone's offer and went to the ship's restaurant alone.
"Eat fish, do you?"
The fish-eyed sailor stood behind the windowsill as he always did, as if he had nothing else to do but cook and go to the kitchen. Qiu Xuan originally wanted to take a glass of juice and leave, but after thinking about it, she stopped and turned back to meet her gaze.
"Let me ask you, who do you think is not like a person among the people who have recently docked on the boat?"
The sailor in the ridiculous pink apron took a towel to wipe the plate and said, "I see, you're not like a man." ”
"That'...... What the hell do you think a captain is? ”
There was a soft sound when the plate collided with the table, and the sailor looked up at her with a pair of dead fish eyes, and said, "Talking about the captain, you want to be exiled." ”
"I'll give you money to help me find out?"
"It's useless to give money, I see that you just want me to be exiled, heh, you are dreaming."
Qiu Xuan shrugged, drank all the juice in a gulp in the familiar voice behind him, and handed the empty cup back to the sailor, "Okay, goodbye." ”
"The last time we met."
Qiu Xuan frowned violently and turned her head, "What did you say?" ”
The dead fish-eyed sailor was still immersed in his own world, and wiped the cup expressionlessly, seeing her expression, he said unceremoniously: "Are you, deaf?" It's as if that sentence is Qiu Xuan's own illusion born out of thin air.
"Hey, what about me calling you, what's wrong Xuanxuan?"
The headache-inducing "hee-hee-hee" laughter behind him sounded, and Qiu Xuan was half-dragged and half-dragged away by Bai Hexi, while still thinking about something in his heart.
"During this time, Qingqing will trouble you to take care of it, you did a good job, and when you return to Linyuan, I will ask Cangwu to give you a promotion. Do you want to be a group leader? The leader of the charging squad is the first to die, isn't it, the kind of leader who leads the whole people to victory first, if ......"
"What's the matter with me?"
Qiu Xuan sat on the chair with her arms crossed, interrupting Bai Hexi's chattering and unreliable remarks on the other side. Qiu Xuan hadn't seen him since the last time the Fool's ship docked and grouped, and if the rumors were true, he was indeed looking for the traces left by the "former vice president" Bai Yueguang.
Although she was curious, she would not deliberately uncover the unfinished blood scabs of others at such a time, so she just asked according to the note left by Bai Hexi's sudden appearance.
"Hee-hee-hee-hsien-hyun, guess what I found? One of our group was sick and vomiting blood! ”
Qiu Xuan: "? You're going to tell me this? ”
"It's not an ordinary disease, Hyun Hyun and I can take a look." Speaking of this, Bai Hexi's expression was a little solemn. "I always feel that it is not a good sign to suddenly get sick at this time."
Qiu Xuan thought about it, organized the language, and told Bai Hexi the commission that the captain gave her that day.
"Oh, so you think it's likely that 'that thing' came on board that caused a series of disasters?" Bai Hexi was amazed, thought of something and said, "Judging from the captain's words, he not only handed over this personal task to you, who do you think will be the other people who have been assigned the task?" ”
The two stood up and said as they walked that she was the only one she knew about "something mixed up on the boat" so far, and of course it was possible that someone around her would know, but they all kept it a secret.
"That's right," Bai Hexi said, "I see that you didn't have a group with Lao Liang and them this time, I bumped into them once before, and my strength is quite good." You left that team on purpose, why did you leave all of a sudden? ”
"Then why did you know that you would be scolded by Cangwu, but you still deliberately left Liu Qing alone again and again to look for something on the boat?" Qiu Xuan glanced at him, "I'm not here to ask you, so don't ask me either." ”
"Hee-hee-hee-hee, okay then."
She followed Bai Hexi to their group's lounge, and as soon as she entered the door, a strange smell mixed with bloody gas and the decay of human life came to her face. Qiu Xuan frowned and recognized the smell for a moment, and felt a little familiar for a while, but no matter how much she thought about it, she couldn't recall anything.
"What, another one?" Bai Hexi opened his mouth in surprise, and stepped forward to check on the two figures piled up in the living room. The two men wrapped in white blankets, a man and a woman, were lying on the ground with pale faces at this time, the corners of their mouths were still slightly dripping blood, and if it weren't for the pulses that were still beating slightly, they looked like two corpses.
Qiu Xuan noticed that there were obvious petechiae and subcutaneous hemorrhages on their only exposed skin, and their whole bodies were paralyzed there as if they had no bones, and they also needed the help of external forces to turn over.
"Are they ...... Scurvy? "Although I don't know much about the pathology, the symptoms of the two are quite obvious, and because of the long-term voyage on the ship, the remaining possibilities are nothing more than that.
A middle-aged man about forty years old in Bai Hexi's team glanced at her when he heard the voice, and with Bai Hexi's acquiescence, he also acquiesced to the fact that outsiders came to their lounge. He coughed lightly and said in a deep voice: "Scurvy is a disease caused by the lack of vitamin C intake in the human body for a long time, resulting in symptoms such as peeling and subcutaneous bleeding of the mucous membranes. We have been sailing on ships for a long time, and it is not uncommon for scurvy to occur, just ask the aboriginal sailors for some medicine and fruit. But in the current situation, even if you really have the most common scurvy, it can never be just scurvy itself. ”
This man seems to know a little medical knowledge, and he should have been engaged in a related profession before coming to a desperate situation. Seeing him say that, Qiu Xuan's attitude was also very good, and said, "Then what do you think is the reason?" ”
"I don't know for the time being. But the physical fitness and self-healing factors of each executioner who have gone through a desperate situation are very different from ordinary people, and it is impossible to get a small scurvy, although for the people on the ship, this disease is a flood beast. ”
"I think...... It looks like an upgraded version of scurvy, or rather, their immune and self-healing systems have been destroyed. ”
"External forces?"
Qiu Xuan does know a curse, similar to the debuff weakening kind. But to put it mildly, those two people lying on the ground who were suspected of suffering from scurvy, even she could see that they were the kind of newcomers who had just experienced a world or had just been pulled into the testing ground, who would have to spend time to find trouble with those newcomers when they were fine?
She squatted down beside Bai Hexi and carefully examined the two of them for a moment, and then one of the women suddenly turned her head and began to cough violently. Bai Hexi hurriedly pulled her back two steps, and saw the woman coughing softly with soft hands and feet, a bloodshot oozing from her lips, and then coughing up a tooth.
If it weren't for the fact that the focused testing ground had passed, Qiu Xuan would have thought that the tooth fairy had come over again to take revenge for her exploitation of labor. Suddenly remembering something, she touched a pair of gloves from the side and put them on, said "offended", and gently opened the woman's mouth.
Sure enough, the blood she vomited when she coughed just now was not from her stomach, but from her bleeding gums. The finger lightly touched the root of the flushed and swollen tooth, and a tooth fell lightly.
"It's really scurvy when you look at the symptoms." She held up the missing tooth to the middle-aged man, who had already seen the whole process of the woman's illness. He took the tooth in deep thought, his eyes pondering something.
"Guys, do anyone know the background of the new group of people who came on board?" At this moment, Bai Hexi suddenly opened his mouth unsatisfied, and Qiu Xuan knew that he was implying in a subtle way that the executioner who had also received the captain's personal task. But I don't know if it was because they didn't want to open their mouths or for some other reason, everyone looked at each other and no one spoke.
Qiu Xuan sighed and patted him on the shoulder.
"That's it, I'll go back first, there may be something to discuss in the group, you can get some fruit or something for them to try first, and see if you can get away with it."
Saying goodbye to this group, Qiu Xuan walked back. She was still wondering what the things that had come on board had something to do with the sudden illness, when one of the men who had gone before her suddenly collapsed without saying a word.
She blinked, but stepped forward and poked the man from a distance. "Brother? You okay? ”
The young man, who did not look very old, fell to the ground, his face pale.
"What are you doing? He's just a newcomer, what's wrong with you?! ”
Looking at the sharp question, Qiu Xuan straightened up and raised her eyebrows, but it was another acquaintance.
The woman who rushed to this side in a rage had a neat high ponytail, and her delicate features suddenly distorted for a moment after seeing her face clearly. "It's you." Sister Yan stepped forward to pick up the fallen young man and handed it to the team members on the side, and then glared at her and said sharply: "What, seeing that my team member is alone and wants to do it again?" How do you have the face to bully a newcomer? ”
"He fell on his own, and it has nothing to do with me."
"You're blind when we're all blind? Oh, since this is the case, then we naturally have to seek justice for our own team members. Don't you like to take advantage of people's danger to bully the weak, so it's not too much for us to beat you up now while there are more people, right? Don't you want to fall down by accident." ”
"Sister, if I were you, you would hurry up and see if your team member was sick, instead of being angry with me here."
"Do it to me!"
As soon as Sister Yan's words fell, the group members who were ready to go surrounded her in the middle, and all kinds of magical physical skills beckoned to her for a while. Of course, Qiu Xuan couldn't do it for this matter to speed up the dyeing speed of the little flower in her abdomen, she thought about it and decisively took out a few puppets from the space and smashed them to the ground, and for a while, seven or eight Li Lei figures with big axes surrounded her and temporarily isolated her from the encirclement.
"Isn't that the leader of the group next door?" "Didn't he get a scoop on the deck?"
"Was this woman who killed him? It doesn't look like it. ”
The crowd was shocked and whispered. Since the power of the tooth fairy can only replicate fifty percent of his own strength, Qiu Xuan knew that these puppets would not last too long, so he decisively swooped out while everyone was stunned.
"Where are you going?" A wall of fire that almost stood close to her nose scorched a few hairs on her forehead, Qiu Xuan suddenly rolled sideways to the ground, and Sister Yan's hands were sealed on the side and exploded a fireball on her. "Do you dare to do it? I really want to kill you, and you should be thankful that the current number of people is not allowed to kill, otherwise you would have been feeding the fish in the sea by now. ”
"Where did I offend you?" She didn't stop talking, and in a not-so-good-looking position, she rampaged through the cabin and ran out of the range of several people. "I said that your team member is very likely to have scurvy, I think he can still be saved, if you didn't chase me like this, he might have recovered by now...... Tsk, are you listening to me? ”
Helplessly, even if Li Lei's puppet dragged a few people in the group, that Sister Yan kept chasing after her, and while exploding the fireball, she said excitedly: "Come on, aren't you very good at fighting, let's have a good fight, what's just dodging!" ”
If I could, I would have punched you a long time ago.
Qiu Xuan rolled her eyes in her heart, performed a standard forward roll under the explosion of the fireball on the spot, and then rolled into the door of her lounge in the perfect posture of gymnastics landing, facing everyone's surprised or worried eyes.
