At the start, I tricked the school beauty, and ended up with twins? Chapter 389: 388: Black Bone Disease (Two-in-One Chapter)

Chapter 389: Chapter 388: Black Bone Disease (Two-in-One Chapter)

“These clothes fit quite well, and they’re comfortable too,”

Gu Yu stood in front of the mirror, adjusting his collar as he looked at his reflection.

In the mirror, he was dressed in the standard attire of a sailor, looking brave and upright. Except for the lack of epaulettes on his shoulders, he really resembled a navy soldier.

“I think it’s a bit tight…” Lin Xinyue, on the other hand, was constantly tugging at her own tight collar, even after loosening two buttons, it still felt constrictive under her arms.

Because the sailor outfit she was wearing was designed for n, and it wasn’t large.

“It highlights my wife’s figure all the more!”

But Gu Yu found it rather appealing…

“Psh, sweet talker! Out, out, I need to put on my makeup.”

Lin Xinyue rolled her eyes at him, her cheeks heating up as she thought about their recent experience.

“Understood! Commander!”

Gu Yu gave a crisp military salute and then walked out of the bathroom with a proper march, though the slippers on his feet looked sowhat comical.

Lin Xinyue watched him leave and let out a slight sigh of relief.

Picking up so basic makeup products prepared by the staff, she sniffed them and finding the scent very natural, she didn’t hesitate to apply it to her face.

The products for the female soldiers couldn’t be too bad, could they?

Indeed, there was no stinging sensation when applied to the skin, suggesting healthy ingredients.

Although her current appearance really didn’t necessitate makeup, since she might have to attend a eting that evening, makeup was a form of social etiquette.

In the workplace, even won who don’t wear makeup usually apply a light makeup when attending important occasions as a sign of respect for the others present.

Seeing that Xinyue hadn’t appeared for a while, Gu Yu didn’t continue to wait at the door.

Instead, he looked for books to read on the bookshelves of the outer room.

As luck would have it, on the third shelf, he found a book titled “A Chronicle of World Infectious Diseases.”

Rembering Wu Shaohan’s past ntion of Dengue Fever, he took the book down from the shelf.

He then moved a chair to the door of the balcony to read the record book while enjoying the light sea breeze.

Holding the book in his hands, he first carefully examined its cover.

The book was clearly not new, as the plastic wrapping on the cover was damaged, and there were scuff marks on the edges as if it had been accidentally dropped by its previous reader.

The corners of the book were slightly curled, indicating that more than one person had read it.

This gave him a sense of the accumulation of knowledge.

Others had gained insight from this book, and today, as he held it, he would acquire the sa knowledge,

The feeling was quite wonderful.

It was like exchanging thoughts with another reader.

With a thirst for knowledge, he opened the book, and the foreword validated his thoughts.

On the page was written a line: “Humans think they rule the world, but the true masters are unseen and omnipresent.”

The handwriting was neat, and the strokes were forceful.

The ssage within the lines was unclear whether it was mocking human arrogance or expressing helplessness against the invisible sovereigns.

At any rate, this single sentence left by a previous reader filled Gu Yu with respect for the book.

Because this book was obviously a treasury of knowledge recording or researching those unseen yet omnipresent sovereigns.

And of course, Gu Yu knew that these so-called true masters were microbes like bacteria and viruses.

From tens of thousands of ters high to the depths of the Mariana Trench, their presence was everywhere.

No matter how the world changed, whether tens of thousands of years ago or now, they had always been part of this planet.

Gu Yu then flipped through the book, glancing briefly at the table of contents.

Many familiar nas as keywords of the chapters were circled in black pen by soone.

The Black Death, smallpox, cholera…

Each had once brought apocalyptic fear to humanity.

And those black circles seed as though the previous reader wanted to confine them within the pages of this book.

“Yellow fever… Dengue Fever… there it is.”

Gu Yu’s fingers passed over the circles, ignoring the small annotations next to the contents, looking for the information he wanted.

Sure enough, on the second page of the table of contents, he found his target.

Dengue Fever…

In a few days, he might have a close encounter with this infectious disease.

Although he was nominally a surgeon, for so reason, Gu Yu felt he might very well have a close encounter with this disease.

So, before that happened, he needed to understand it in advance.

“Dengue Fever (also known as ‘breakbone fever’) is a mosquito-borne illness found in tropical and subtropical regions. Mild Dengue Fever can cause high fever, rash, and muscle and joint pain. Severe Dengue Fever, known as Dengue Hemorrhagic Fever, can lead to severe bleeding, a sudden drop in blood pressure (shock) and death.”

“Moreover, with current dical knowledge, there is no specific treatnt for Dengue Fever…”

Gu Yu read from the introduction, but as he got to the second paragraph, his gaze paused.

Although the statent was formulaic, Gu Yu grasped its implied aning.

That even with today’s highly advanced dicine, there is no good treatnt for this disease.

In short, treatnt is possible, but it all cos down to luck.

Good luck, and the treatnt plan might be effective, giving a chance for survival; otherwise, there is only waiting for death…
