Simulation Game: Crisis Management-Chapter 41 - 37: Virus

Chapter 41: Chapter 37: Virus
"This is..."
Gu Ji tried to touch it, felt the spongy texture, and was slightly startled. He quickly reached between his legs, only to find nothing there.
What the hell? It’s gone!
Wide-eyed, he hurriedly pulled out his phone from his pocket and activated the selfie camera. The screen revealed a standard oval face, with delicate features, fair skin, and long, lustrous black hair cascading over the shoulders.
No doubt about it.
Long hair!
This time, the role Gu Ji was playing turned out to be a woman!!
"No wonder there are certain restrictions..."
Indeed, this female character’s body looked quite weak, probably weighing about a hundred pounds, with little muscle and fragile bones, making it difficult for Gu Ji to harness some of his attributes. Unlike the previous role of "Jiang Songyuan," whose physique, while not exceptionally strong, was at least at the average level for an adult male.
He checked his attribute panel and discovered that the most affected were not the skeletal muscle movements but rather the cardiovascular system and digestive system, functioning at roughly seventy percent. Skeletal muscles were at 81.3%, and the weakening of sensory organs and immunity was negligible.
Fortunately, this level’s theme was public health, not involving direct conflicts. Moreover, Gu Ji’s heavily fortified central nervous system remained unaffected, which was acceptable.
"Jian Na, 26 years old, from Xia Kingdom..."
Having previous experience, Gu Ji prepared to verify the character’s identity this time.
Besides the usual ID card and passport, he took a glance at the photos on the phone and discovered two useful pieces of information:
1. Jian Na is a Xia Kingdom national living and working in Japan, and her occupation is a nurse;
2. She was on a luxury ocean cruise for a trip, starting from Yokohama in Japan, passing through Kagoshima, Xiangzhou in Xia Country, Halong Bay in Vietnam, Okinawa, and returning to Yokohama, lasting a total of 14 days and 13 nights.
Cruise travel is a form of travel passed down from Europe and the United States, centered around the "cruise ship," mainly for experiencing the onboard entertainment facilities, dining, and services. It has become very popular in Asia in recent years, with many people from Xia Kingdom traveling to Japan, South Korea, and Southeast Asia on luxurious routes.
Originally a very nice mode of tourism, it becomes extremely dangerous in a crisis!
First, a cruise ship is a narrow, enclosed space, with people unable to escape from the ship;
Secondly, a cruise ship sails in the ocean, far separated from the mainland, making it difficult for the government to provide effective support promptly.
"No wonder this level is called Zombie Cruise."
Gu Ji mumbled twice. If a public health crisis truly spread on board and control was lacking, it would soon become a "Horror Cruise"!
While he was pondering, the ship began to depart from the port.
The orange smart wristband on his wrist showed the time: "9:01 AM."
He vaguely remembered being awakened by the sound of the ship’s horn. According to the sailing rules, a long horn blast indicates the ship is about to leave the dock or berth.
It seems this fourteen-day ocean voyage.
Had just begun.
Gu Ji glanced at the blood-red countdown in the top right corner, "This should explain why the level’s countdown is extended, as the duration of the cruise is long and virus outbreaks often take time."
He calculated slightly; if the entire countdown was used, at least three days would need to be spent sleeping in a hotel in reality.
The risk was too great, and it needed to be addressed quickly.
Gu Ji began to observe the room environment.
It should be a double room on the cruise, styled similarly to a hotel, with two single beds, a double sofa near the window, a long desk opposite the beds, and a bathroom near the door, measuring about 20 square meters.
Click!
A sudden strange noise at the door startled Gu Ji, causing him to spring to his feet like a frightened tiger.
In the next moment, a young girl with a suitcase walked in, wearing a JK skirt. She wasn’t very tall, with fox-like eyes, a petite strawberry-shaped face, rosy pink cheeks, and looking quite sweet. The twin ponytails added a touch of playfulness and charm.
The twin ponytail girl held a black room card and, upon seeing Gu Ji, immediately flashed a big smile:
"Konnichiwa, Arigato..."
"I’m sorry, my Japanese isn’t very good."
Hearing this, the twin ponytail girl quickly bowed and apologized in English:
"Oh, sorry, I thought you were Japanese. I’m bed number 2 in room 3029. My name is Ito Meiyu, nice to meet you!"
"Hello, my name is Jian Na."
Gu Ji nodded slightly, not expecting to have an extra female roommate, fortunately as strangers.
Because the ticket prices for luxury cruise travels are usually quite high, the price of a private large bed room is twice that of a double room, so some travelers choose to share a room with strangers.
"Wow, this room is much bigger than I imagined..."
Ito Meiyu seemed very excited, letting go of her suitcase and diving onto her bed, excitedly swinging her legs.
[Crisis Event Start!]
[Please choose your initial reward.]
[Medical Protective Pack (×1)] or [Proficient Japanese]
The first level task was finally about to begin.
White [Medical Protective Pack (×1)]: Contains N95 masks ×3, disposable gloves ×2, protective goggles ×1, disposable protective clothing ×1;
White [Proficient Japanese]: Allows mastery of Japanese.
Gu Ji examined the second option, almost causing internal injury as he had just claimed "not knowing Japanese," so he chose the first one.
With a thought, the option transformed into a beam of white light, landing in his green suitcase.
[New Objective: Avoid infection by the virus within three days.]
It’s really a virus!
It seems the virus has already emerged on this cruise ship.
Gu Ji frowned slightly and quickly opened his suitcase. Besides a change of clothes and cosmetics, there was indeed a protective pack with yellow plastic outer packaging.
He tore it open, extracted a white N95 mask and gloves, and put them on, then took out a semi-transparent white sun-protection shirt, a pair of pink-gray yoga pants, and a black baseball cap from his clothes, wrapping himself thoroughly, trying not to expose too much skin.
Ito Meiyu, hearing the commotion, turned her head and, wide-eyed, seemed a bit startled: "Oh my God, sister, what are you..."
This was the reason Gu Ji used clothes instead of the protective suit; the latter was too eye-catching, not conducive to gathering information.
No doubt.
Because the game’s mechanism of death cycles affects the final clearance score.
So his tactical strategy could only be to minimize the number of deaths, prioritizing information gathering in the first round and secondary clearance to lay the groundwork for subsequent actions. Information was too crucial; only by accumulating sufficient information could a comprehensive emergency action plan be conceived quickly and effectively.
He didn’t answer Ito Meiyu but pulled his black baseball cap down and swiftly exited the room.
