At the start, I tricked the school beauty, and ended up with twins?-Chapter 390 - 388: Black Bone Disease (Combined Extra-Large Chapter) _2

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 names of these infectious diseases were just that to him—names he had heard of but never deeply understood.

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

Therefore, these matters seemed 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 became 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, medicine still has a long way to go,”

Gu Yu sighed deeply after understanding Dengue fever.

He felt a sense of medical 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 time offer: 888,888 Check-in Points (Original price: 1,600,000 Check-in Points)]

Recently, the system seemed to be going crazy—sensing his need, it popped up a recommendation purchase window immediately.

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 become 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 mesmerized.

If the unmade-up Lin Xinyue was a pristine and noble princess, then Lin Xinyue, now with light makeup, seemed 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 immediately 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 medical books to supplement 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 shimmering 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 moment, 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 welcome gathering for you in the roundtable meeting room on the fifth floor. There are also some 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 time.”

“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 meeting tonight.”

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

Lin Xinyue pondered.

“Definitely, just don’t know what they want to discuss after the welcome 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 moment.

He took out his phone, which had completely lost network service, and glanced at the time; 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 meeting room is on the fifth. We can head straight there after eating,” Lin Xinyue suggested, and Gu Yu nodded in agreement, “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 home 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 movement attracted frequent side glances from sailors around their age, and some 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 someone’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 mean no harm.”

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

“Damn, how can someone 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 accustomed to being in the spotlight.

“Thank you!” The squad leader immediately saluted.

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

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

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

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

“Haha, alright, bro.”

Gu Yu didn’t stand on ceremony, immediately 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 somewhat disordered group instantly became 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.
