Chapter 40: The Contagion Begins

Gu Ji turned his head sharply and saw that among the crowd on the deck enjoying the sunset sea view, there was a young white man covering his mouth, and in his impression, he didn't seem to see that this person had had close contact with the man in the brown hat, but if it was before the noon meal, he wouldn't know.

"Let's hope it's a coincidence......"

In the evening, the sea breeze on the deck is salty and wet, most of the tourists don't wear much, and it is normal to cough when they get cold, while the white-haired old man is old and has weak resistance.

He slowly approached, carefully observed the limbs of the white-haired old man and the young white man, and found no signs of redness under the skin, the muscle activity was normal, and the redness in the whites of the eyes did not increase, not like the attack of virus inflammation, and he was slightly relieved.

You know, it's only five o'clock.

If these two people were really infected by a brown-hat man, it would be terrible, the incubation period of four or five hours is almost enough to catch up with the onset of influenza A, but the common flu will not cause red spots all over the body, and the contagion is not so terrifying.

The incubation period is short, highly contagious, and the symptoms are severe.

Once the virus has these three characteristics, it is equivalent to a super-nuclear bomb.

The first batch of infected people will have a concentrated outbreak of symptoms within five hours, and through crowd gathering activities, the virus will spread exponentially, one ten, ten hundreds, and it will not take two or three days for the cruise ship to completely fall!!

The entire boat was covered with red pimples, ulcerated, bleeding.

This scene, just imagining it, makes you shudder.

……

When it was time for dinner, Gu Ji didn't dare to enter the cafeteria again, just stood outside the door and observed, the flow of customers for dinner was a little less than for lunch, it should have been divided by other entertainment items, fortunately, except for the white-haired old man and the white man, he only found that a Dongying woman had symptoms of cough and fever.

Back in the room, swipe the card and push the door.

Ito Mizakura was hiding in the quilt in a daze, and when she saw Gu Ji coming in, she immediately got up and said hello, "Sister, you're finally back, are you done?" ”

"I'm done."

Gu Ji replied, subconsciously glancing at it, a large piece of white skin shook his eyes, the waves were not very undulating, but it was full of a youthful and beautiful atmosphere, like a budding cherry blossom.

Good guy, take off so fast......

Although he is not as lustful as Gao Bo, after all, he is also a man with a normal heart, so he doesn't make a mistake when he looks at one, two, three, or four eyes, right?

"Mi Sakura, my cold hasn't healed yet, can I turn off the air conditioner for the time being?"

Gu Ji found the central air conditioning controller and asked.

In fact, he did not feel cold, but very hot, the reason why he did this is mainly to turn off the ship's fresh air system, because the cruise ship is a semi-closed environment, if the virus can be transmitted through the air or aerosols, at this time, turning on the central air conditioner is equivalent to increasing the risk of infection.

Ito Sakura nodded, her ponytails swaying up and down.

"Hoo ......"

Turning off the air conditioner, Gu Ji grinned and took off his hat and mask, the inside was steaming, and after bringing this thing for a day, his skin had already been covered red and swollen, and his cheeks and ears were covered with deep red marks, which were unbearable.

"Oh my God, sister, your face!"

Ito Miying was startled, hurriedly jumped out of bed, and opened her suitcase, "Sister, I'll help you apply some medicine......"

"No, no, I'm used to it."

Gu Ji waved his hand and refused, but this girl came over with two tubes of ointment, "This is fusidic acid cream and clindamycin gel, which can treat seborrheic dermatitis and acne and avoid skin infections." ”

After speaking, they each squeezed a drop on his face, and gently applied it along the red and swollen area with a cotton swab, which was cold and quite comfortable.

"The most important thing for girls is their skin, my sister just had a small cold, so there's no need to wear a mask all day."

After applying the medicine, Ito Mizakura finally blew lightly on his face, "Whew!" All right! ”

Gu Ji couldn't help but be moved by this girl's kindness and gentleness, pursed her lips, took out an N95 mask from the medical supplies bag, handed it to her, and said, "It's better to be careful, this cruise ship is a semi-closed environment, and once the flu occurs, it is easy to spread explosively." ”

Ito Mizakura was slightly stunned when she heard this, and took the mask: "I don't understand it either, but thank you, sister, I'll pay attention......"

Following.

Gu Ji was woken up by the sun, he rubbed his eyelids and got up, turned his head to look at Ito Misakura, but he didn't expect that the other party had already gotten up and was sitting on the sofa looking out the window.

"Sister, are you awake? The boat looks like it's about to arrive in Kagoshima, so let's get off the boat and have fun! ”

Misara Ito turned her head and suggested with a smile.

"It's fine."

Tourists will definitely get off the boat and go to Kagoshima as well, and it won't be useful for Gu Ji to stay here.

When he washed, he looked at himself in the mirror and always felt weird, especially the long black and shiny hair, which was extremely difficult to wash.

It's a lot more troublesome to be a girl than a boy.

Finally dried it, Gu Ji didn't want to put on so many troublesome things, but fortunately, Jiang Na brought a sticker with her, easily pasted it, put on a white T-shirt, and enjoyed the feeling of freedom, not to mention how comfortable it was.

When he finished washing, the ship's whistle sounded, and the hull of the ship began to slowly approach the shore, and the cabin radio sounded, reminding the tourists that Kagoshima had arrived.

Gu Ji walked out of the room and just closed the door.

"Ahem......"

A violent cough came from the front, and when I looked up, I saw that it was a tourist with a back head, not only him, but also his wife and children with uncomfortable looks on their faces.

He raised his eyebrows and lowered the brim of his black cap, "Sakura, put on your mask." ”

"Huh? Oh oh, what ......."

Misato Ito took out her mask from her pocket and put it on in a hurry.

The two followed the flow of tourists to the elevator, but along the way, the coughing sound was not only from the man on the back, but also from at least three or four people.

"Don't wait for the elevator, follow me."

Gu Ji had a bad feeling, and hurriedly pulled Ito Mizakura to squeeze through the crowd, came to the stern, and pushed open the door of the fire escape.

"Wow, sister, how did you know there was a secret passage here?"

Ito Mizakura thought she was taking a shortcut.

Come to the public lobby on the first floor.

"Ahem, ahem, ahem......"

"Ahem!"

"Oops, it feels so uncomfortable, my head hurts!"

"I will never turn on the air conditioner to sleep again, I seem to have a fever, and I feel that my whole body is not well!"

……

In the center of the hall, a large number of tourists gathered are waiting for the cabin to open and land, Gu Ji can't understand Japanese, but there are four people who complain about discomfort in English alone, and the number of people with cough and fever is as high as twenty or thirty!!

Suffered!

The virus is already contagious!

Gu Ji hurriedly stopped a security guard who was about to maintain order, and hurriedly said: "Immediately close the hatch and contact the cruise ship infirmary, Kagoshima Prefecture Crisis Management Bureau, police headquarters, and the prefectural hospital bureau for emergency control, there is an outbreak of infectious diseases on the cruise ship!" Fast! ”
