Chapter 390: Chapter 388: Black Bone Disease (Combined Extra-Large Chapter) _2

Gu Yu felt a shiver run down his spine.

For citizens of a peaceful and stable country, the nas of these infectious diseases were just that to him—nas he had heard of but never deeply understood.

Thanks to Huaxia’s strong preventative asures, unless a new virus erged, it was not likely to spread.

Therefore, these matters seed very distant to him.

His gaze shifted from the text to the accompanying image—a virus with an outer shell made of circular rings and a core shaped like a regular icosahedron.

It didn’t look like any normal organism.

“…5 to 8 days after onset, 25% to 50% of cases may present with bleeding of varying degrees in different locations, possibly accompanied by life-threatening symptoms such as shock,”

Gu Yu continued to read, his frown deepening as he did so.

Especially after seeing the accompanying photographs of real cases, witnessing the agony of people of various skin tones—young and old, adults and children alike—after being infected, Gu Yu felt a chill in his heart.

Although the book stated that eighty percent of the cases were mild, once anyone beca part of the twenty percent, they would face life-threatening dangers.

Probability could only represent the ratio of severe to mild cases among survivors, not the chances of the patients’ survival.

“Sigh, dicine still has a long way to go,”

Gu Yu sighed deeply after understanding Dengue fever.

He felt a sense of dical responsibility, but he also knew that it was not a disease he could eradicate on his own…

“Maybe I could use the system’s power?”

A thought flashed through Gu Yu’s mind.

[Dengue Fever Complete Vaccine Formula, limited ti offer: 888,888 Check-in Points (Original price: 1,600,000 Check-in Points)]

Recently, the system seed to be going crazy—sensing his need, it popped up a recomndation purchase window imdiately.

Gu Yu: “…”

“Eight hundred and eighty-eight thousand… It’s unlikely I’ll gather that much even in a blue moon,”

Gu Yu couldn’t help but make a snide remark.

It was just a thought after all; even if he actually had eight hundred and eighty-eight thousand Check-in Points, it was unlikely he would exchange them.

He was not the Virgin Mary, without that noble ideal of dedicating all he had to save the world’s people.

With eight hundred and eighty-eight thousand Check-in Points, it would be better to keep them and beco stronger,

“What are you looking at so intently~” Just as Gu Yu was engrossed in the book, Lin Xinyue suddenly popped up and snatched the World Infectious Diseases Chronicle from his hands.

She flipped through it carelessly for a bit and, not very interested, handed it back to Gu Yu.

“Aren’t you a surgeon? Why suddenly start reading about infectious diseases?” she asked curiously.

Gu Yu looked up at her face and couldn’t help but be srized.

If the unmade-up Lin Xinyue was a pristine and noble princess, then Lin Xinyue, now with light makeup, seed like a fairy who had descended to the mortal realm, accidentally having touched the worldly rouge and face powder.

Even more beautiful.

“Wife, you’re so beautiful!”

Gu Yu couldn’t help but blurt out.

Lin Xinyue glared at him, “You might not have learned anything else, but your sweet-talking has gotten better.”

“How would you know it’s sweet? Want to give it a try?” Gu Yu raised an eyebrow.

Lin Xinyue rolled her eyes; this guy was becoming more blunt, no longer disguising his inner old rogue.

“You scoundrel~” She reached out and lightly tapped her finger on Gu Yu’s forehead.

Gu Yu imdiately caught her arm and pulled her into his embrace, to which Lin Xinyue struggled, “Stop it, stop it, I just applied my glaze lip gloss!”

“Alright then.” Seeing her fierce look, Gu Yu was compelled to let her go.

Unexpectedly, Lin Xinyue left a light red lip print on his right cheek with a “pop.”

Gu Yu touched his face and just felt amused.

“I am a surgeon, indeed! But as a doctor, I should also read up on other dical books to supplent my knowledge,”

Gu Yu pointed at his own “knowledge bank” with his finger.

“Alright!” Lin Xinyue didn’t pry further, she moved a chair next to Gu Yu and sat beside him to enjoy the sea breeze, “Starting today, I’ll be your assistant, Doctor Gu!”

Upon hearing this, Gu Yu took her into his embrace and let her rest on his shoulder, “Sounds good!”

By then, the sun had already set, leaving only a halo of red glow intermittently visible on the shimring sea.

The evening breeze was cool, the sunset was beautiful, but the beauty resting on his shoulder was even more beautiful.

Just as Gu Yu was quietly enjoying the mont, the pager on the wall next to him suddenly went off.

“Mr. Gu, Miss Lin, good evening. You are hereby notified that at 7:30 PM, we will hold a welco gathering for you in the roundtable eting room on the fifth floor. There are also so important matters we need to discuss with you. Please be punctual, thank you.”

The broadcaster spoke in an unhurried tone.

Gu Yu walked over and replied to the intercom, “Okay, I’ve got it and will be there on ti.”

“Thank you both for your cooperation.”

The pager clicked off.

Gu Yu turned his head to Lin Xinyue, who had followed him, and smiled, “Wu Shaohan was telling the truth; there really is a eting tonight.”

“For a welco gathering, everyone should be present, right?”

Lin Xinyue pondered.

“Definitely, just don’t know what they want to discuss after the welco gathering.”

Gu Yu nodded, his head drooping in thought.

If it was as Wu Shaohan said, then the matter they would discuss might be the dengue fever outbreak in Bangladesh.

But what did dengue fever have to do with a surgeon like him?

He thought for a while but couldn’t figure it out. Gu Yu couldn’t be bothered to think anymore; he would know once he got there, it wasn’t urgent at the mont.

He took out his phone, which had completely lost network service, and glanced at the ti; it was already half past six.

Touching his stomach, a wave of hunger struck him—he had vomited his lunch because of seasickness.

“Hehe, you must be hungry. Let’s go to dinner first! The dining room is on the sixth floor, and the eting room is on the fifth. We can head straight there after eating,” Lin Xinyue suggested, and Gu Yu nodded in agreent, “Okay.”

The two of them turned off the lights in their room and pulled out the door card from the wall before leaving together.

“Our ho is a vast sea, our bed is a sturdy ship~”

The corridor was bustling, with groups of sailors marching by, singing military songs, and heading downstairs to eat.

Following the crowd, the movent attracted frequent side glances from sailors around their age, and so even paused, nearly getting bumped into by those behind them.

“What are you looking at, haven’t you seen a beautiful lady before?”

The leader, a middle-aged Petty Officer likely holding the position of a squad leader, couldn’t help but scold.

Suddenly, each person continued on their way, eyes fixed ahead, but they all shouted in unison, “Reporting to the squad leader, we haven’t!”

Then they began whispering and chuckled among themselves.

The squad leader, seeing this bunch of mischievous fellows, put on a stern face again, “Even if you haven’t, you’re not allowed to stare! Coveting soone’s beauty is rude!”

“Understood!”

The group answered in chorus, yet they couldn’t help but sneak peeks from the corners of their eyes.

The squad leader, unable to control these little scamps, sidestepped from the front of the line and approached Gu Yu and Lin Xinyue, apologizing to Lin Xinyue, “I’m sorry, miss, they an no harm.”

The squad leader spoke, but his eyes kept blinking while fixated on Lin Xinyue’s face.

“Damn, how can soone be so attractive…! No wonder these rascals can’t control their eyes,” he thought inwardly, though he showed no reaction on his face.

“It’s okay, I don’t find it rude at all!”

Lin Xinyue smiled and shook her head, as she was already accustod to being in the spotlight.

“Thank you!” The squad leader imdiately saluted.

But after saluting, he didn’t know what else to say, and the atmosphere beca sowhat awkward.

“You’re going to the dining hall for dinner, right? Can we join you?”

Gu Yu spoke up at the right mont to break the awkward silence.

The Petty Officer’s eyes brightened, looking at Gu Yu, “Of course, you can! Welco! Now that we’re all on the Ark, we’re family!”

“Haha, alright, bro.”

Gu Yu didn’t stand on ceremony, imdiately addressing him with familiarity.

“Listen to my command, march~ in~ step! Keep formation, no stragglers, if anyone falls behind, they’re not eating!”

The squad leader shouted two commands, and the previously sowhat disordered group instantly beca solemn.

No one looked around anymore; they all wanted to impress, particularly in front of this beautiful lady they had never seen before.

Gu Yu and Lin Xinyue exchanged a smile and followed them.

These people, they were quite endearing.
