Chapter 436: Viral Infection (1)
As Zhou Qi announced the start of the competition, as expected, Xiao Wan repeated her old tricks and only lasted less than two minutes in the ring before choosing to admit defeat, and Lin Dong won the victory with almost no effort.
Ling Chen originally wanted to see Lin Dong's ability, but who knew that it would be over so soon, and he couldn't help but be disappointed.
Back in the room, under the supervision of Xia Yue, the good time of the morning was spent in bed.
When it was time to eat, Qiu Yong and the others gathered in Ling Chen's room, waiting for the waiter to deliver the food.
"Sixth brother, try to be careful in the afternoon competition, so as not to recur the injury. Qiu Yong told him, while covering his mouth with his hands, he kept coughing, and his old face suddenly turned red.
"Big brother, are you okay?"
Qiu Yong waved his hand and said, "What can I do, don't worry about it, let's take care of yourself." ”
While he was talking, the waiter had already delivered a sumptuous lunch to the guest room with a cart.
After lunch, Qiu Yong and the others went directly back to the room for a lunch break. After lying down all morning, Ling Chen was idle, so he simply turned on the TV and chose a random movie to watch.
At around 1:40 in the afternoon, Ling Chen saw that the time was almost up and it was time to go to the venue to prepare, so he got up and went to Qiu Yong's room, stretched out his hand and knocked on the door.
"Big brother, it's me!"
Before the door opened, a violent cough had already reached Ling Chen's ears through the door panel. When the door opened, I saw Qiu Yong covering his mouth, coughing constantly, his face looked a little ugly, and he looked sluggish.
Ling Chen asked with concern, "Big brother, are you sick?" I'll help you take a look." ”
"A little illness, no need to make a fuss. Perhaps because the cough was too severe, Qiu Yong's throat was hoarse.
"Then what can I do, what if a minor illness is not cured, and it becomes a major illness?" After speaking, regardless of Qiu Yong's objection, Ling Chen took him into the room. When the two of them sat down, Ling Chen put his hand on Qiu Yong's pulse and carefully checked it.
The pulse is normal, there is no major problem, it should be accidentally infected with wind chill and has a severe cold.
"Big brother, since you are not feeling well, don't go to the afternoon competition, rest well in the room, and I'll ask someone from the infirmary to bring some cold medicine later." ”
Qiu Yong nodded and said, "Then you go and call your second brother and let them accompany you." ”
"Yes. ”
Leaving the room, Ling Chen went straight to the guest room where Xu Ming lived. The door opened, looking at Xu Ming who appeared in front of him, Ling Chen was stunned for a moment, and looked at Xu Ming with a shocked face.
Feeling his surprised gaze, Xu Ming opened his mouth and asked, "Sixth brother, what's wrong?"
"Second brother, your eyes ...... Why is it red?"
Hearing this, Xu Ming immediately turned around and walked into the bathroom, standing in front of the mirror, looking into his eyes. Sure enough, the eyes were bloodshot and looked like they were bloodshot, which was a little scary.
"Second brother, do you feel unwell?"
Xu Ming shook his head and said, "No, it's normal." ”
As he was talking, a cough suddenly came from the door of the room, Ling Chen turned his head to look, and saw Xia Yue walking in from outside, her cheeks flushed, and her breathing was accompanied by a continuous cough, which was very similar to Qiu Yong's symptoms.
"Fifth sister. ”
Ling Chen walked over quickly and asked with a concerned face, "Are you sick too?"
"Maybe it's a cold. After the words fell, Xia Yue noticed Xu Ming's red eyes and said in surprise: "Second brother, what's the matter with your eyes?"
"I don't know, if it weren't for the sixth brother's reminder, I wouldn't have noticed. ”
Ling Chen thought for a while and said, "Second brother, fifth sister, you sit in the room first, and I'll go to the infirmary to help you get some medicine." ”
Xia Yue and Xu Ming's symptoms were not as serious as Qiu Yong's, and it is estimated that the source of the disease was Qiu Yong, because everyone stayed together for a long time, so it was transmitted to others.
However, when Ling Chen came to the infirmary, he found that the situation was not as simple as he imagined. The entire infirmary was overcrowded and overcrowded, and most of the people were blocked outside the infirmary, unable to enter.
Not only that, these people's symptoms are similar to Qiu Yong's, in addition to coughing and red eyes, some people's skin is even covered with large red rashes, which look particularly oozing.
Odd!
Ling Chen frowned secretly, how could so many people be sick? And at the same time, could it be a coincidence? Thinking of this, Ling Chen shook his head to himself, this situation could never be a coincidence. There was no such thing at the time of this morning's contest, and it was only three or four hours during the period, and it actually caused such a large-scale illness, and there must be something wrong with it.
Thinking about it, a rush of footsteps came from far to near, rushing towards this side. Ling Chen raised his eyes and saw Zhou Qi and Zhong Yang leading more than thirty Heavenly Machine Pavilion disciples to walk quickly, their expressions solemn, obviously realizing the seriousness of this emergency.
"Old Zhou, it's Old Zhou who is here. ”
Seeing Zhou Qi appear, the people crowded outside the infirmary immediately rushed up, and all of them surrounded him, gossiping.
"Please be quiet. ”
Zhou Qi pressed his hand and said, "We have learned about the situation, please rest assured, Tianji Pavilion will definitely do its best to solve it." However, before that, we ask for your cooperation with us. ”
"Old Zhou, you have also seen that there are so many sick people and the staff of the infirmary is limited, in my opinion, it is better to quickly dock the boat and don't delay everyone's treatment. ”
"Calm down, everyone, we have already started to return home. However, it takes at least two days to reach the nearest port. Until then, I hope you don't mess with yourself and we'll keep everyone safe. After speaking, Zhou Qi glanced at Zhong Yang beside him, who immediately understood and immediately organized everyone to go to the deck.
Seeing this, Ling Chen hurriedly returned to Xu Ming's room and summoned all the members of the eight weirdos to Qiu Yong's room. As expected, except for Ling Chen, everyone had symptoms of varying degrees.
"It's been fine in the morning, how could this suddenly happen?" said Yuan Yun with a frown.
"It's not clear about the situation for the time being, and the people from Tianji Pavilion are already investigating. ”
While speaking, Ling Chen took the pulse of everyone separately, wanting to find out the cause of the illness. However, what puzzled him was that everyone's body was normal, and the pulse was stable, not like they were sick.
Knock knock!
At that moment, there was a knock on the door.
Ling Chen got up and opened the door, only to see several men in protective clothing standing at the door carrying medical kits.
"You ...... this"
"I'm sorry, but we got orders to know how each guest is doing. ”
Hearing this, Ling Chen immediately let go of his body and welcomed several medical personnel into the room.
After the blood was drawn, a medical staff spoke: "Until the test results come out, please stay in your room for the time being, do not go out casually, and contact our staff if you need anything." ”
Seeing that those people were about to leave, Ling Chen quickly chased after them and asked, "How much do you know about this sudden illness?"
"I'm sorry, Tianji Pavilion has an order, no comment. ”
