I don't know whether it was the sound of those two gunshots or Gu Ji's words that took effect.

The tourists, who were originally running around in panic, finally suppressed their fear and squatted obediently in place.

"Hey! I'm from Xiangzhou too!"

"Great! We're saved! We're all from the Xia Kingdom!"

"Thank goodness!"

...

Unexpectedly, besides Gu Ji, there were quite a few people from Xia in the group of tourists. Upon hearing Gu Ji declare in English that he was an investigator sent by the Xiangzhou authorities, they instantly felt a sense of security.

"Everyone, stay put!"

Gu Ji reminded them.

After hearing his introduction, the Japanese police also loosened their grip slightly, unsure whether they should arrest him.

Taking advantage of the moment, he turned to look at Dr. Matsushima: "Please tell me the truth, have you contacted the Kagoshima Prefectural Hospital Bureau?"

Dr. Matsushima opened his mouth, but after glancing at Morioka's expression, quickly shut it again.

Suppressing his anger, Gu Ji said, "Contact the captain immediately and report this to the Housheng Province Quarantine Office, the National Crisis Management Center, the Cabinet Infectious Disease Crisis Management Bureau, and the Ministry of Land, Infrastructure, Transport and Tourism, quickly!"

The Housheng Province is Japan's highest medical and health institution, equivalent to the Ministry of Health in the Xia Kingdom.

The first three organizations he emphasized are all part of Japan's national emergency management system for public health incidents, dedicated to preventing and controlling serious infectious diseases. The last one manages transportation and has the authority to mobilize aviation and maritime services.

Hearing the names of these departments, Morioka was scared stiff, "Miss Jian Na, there's no need to make such a big deal out of this..."

"Damn it!"

Almost at the same time Morioka said this, Gu Ji twisted away from the policeman's grip like lightning, rushing in front of Morioka, pressing his head and pointing at the corpse of an elderly man with white hair on the ground: "Take a good look! Carefully! At this point, you're still thinking of covering this up? Ask Dr. Matsushima yourself, can you suppress this?"

Morioka tried to resist forcefully but to no avail.

The two policemen stared at each other blankly, seemingly unable to comprehend how Gu Ji had broken free.

"I'll contact the captain immediately!"

As a doctor, Dr. Matsushima recognized this as a hemorrhagic fever virus and understood the gravity of the situation. Without waiting for Morioka's response, she hurriedly took out her walkie-talkie.

A moment later, she handed over the walkie-talkie.

"Hello, I'm Neil Collins, the captain of the Platinum Star Cruise Ship. Dr. Matsushima has already informed me of the severity of the situation. How can I assist your work?"

The cruise ship is registered in the United Kingdom, so it's perfectly normal that the captain isn't Japanese.

"Hello, Captain Neil, I'm Jian Na."

Gu Ji released Morioka and took the walkie-talkie from Dr. Matsushima: "Immediately initiate the cruise ship's level I emergency response, and shut down the central ventilation system. Also, I need the highest radio station access!"

"Alright."

Neil responded resolutely.

After switching to the main radio channel, Gu Ji took a deep breath and spoke in a cool and solemn tone:

"All staff, listen to my orders...The departments of ship services, maintenance, logistics, security, cleaning, entertainment, and dining should immediately conduct self-checks for fever symptoms. Except for essential work posts, all other personnel shall gather in the first-floor hall. Medical staff should first fetch medical supplies and begin self-protection."

"Attention, protection must strictly adhere to the three-level protection process: gloves, caps, masks, attire, goggles, and shoe covers. Gloves, in particular, must be double-layered inside and outside. Upon completion, conduct temperature checks on all staff, ensure healthy personnel, and prioritize protection for cleaning staff. Start decontaminating and sterilizing the ship at once, focusing on cleaning guestrooms and lavatory excreta."

"Other personnel assist cleaning and medical staff by setting up these three major areas: temperature testing zone, medical quarantine observation zone, clinical department treatment zone. Broadcast to inform ship guests for self-inspection and self-tracing: One, infected individuals displaying symptoms shall be directly sent to the clinical department for treatment; two, close contacts who have had proximity with infected individuals shall first be sent to the medical quarantine observation zone for daily scheduled temperature checks."

"Three, the remaining healthy population shall, except during daily temperature check times, stay in their guest rooms as much as possible and avoid lingering in public areas. All personnel's meals will be uniformly distributed by kitchen staff in cooperation with medical and cleaning teams. Lastly, remember this is a serious infectious incident in a semi-enclosed area, preventing virus spread is the top priority. Everyone should actively cooperate with reporting and not conceal any information."

Gu Ji spoke a lot in one breath.

These instructions were heard not only by all the staff on the cruise but also by the tourists squatting on the first floor.

If most people still had some skepticism earlier, then after these words, everyone became convinced!

Even Dr. Matsushima and Captain Neil didn't speak for a long time, seemingly also impressed by his containment actions.

It had only been a few minutes since the virus outbreak.

Even professional doctors found it difficult to come up with an emergency plan in such a short time, and it's not just about having a plan; how to specifically command it is another challenge!

"What are you all standing around for? Act quickly!"

"Yes!"

Dr. Matsushima hurriedly nodded and started directing the medical staff beneath her to move medical supplies.

Morioka struggled to get up from the ground, cast a resentful glance at Gu Ji, and left in anger.

"Miss Jian, you're really amazing!"

Xiaowu Yefu looked at Gu Ji with admiration, his cheeks slightly blushing at the sides of the cheekbones.

Gu Ji felt a bit uncomfortable being watched and quickly found an excuse to leave.

As he walked through the tourists, just with a quick glance around, he saw four or five people with red spots on their skin, not to mention those infected who were feeling unwell and coughing were countless.

It's clear that the virus had spread.

The situation was much more serious than he had anticipated!

"Really shouldn't have trusted that manager yesterday..."

Thinking about it made him furious.

Returning to the cabin, Ito Meiyu was still leaning on the corridor handrail, seemingly smiling as she watched everything happening in the hall downstairs. Seeing Gu Ji approaching, she excitedly waved her phone and said, "Sister, the way you fired just now was so cool! You calmed those people down with just a few words, I…I recorded it all, I'll send it to you later!"

Gu Ji was slightly taken aback.

Wouldn't a normal person be terrified by the sight of a corpse covered in blood and a deadly infectious disease?

Especially a woman.

"Don't mess around, hurry and return to the room with me. Put on those medical supplies we bought yesterday. This virus outbreak is extremely terrifying. Be sure not to let the blood and secretions of infected individuals touch you!"

Gu Ji said as he hurriedly rushed into the room and opened the supply bag.

Ito Meiyu also followed him in, "Sister, do you know what virus it is? Is there a way to treat it?"

"Not sure yet, but judging by the symptoms, it's a hemorrhagic fever type illness..."

Just as Gu Ji was changing into medical protective gear, the walkie-talkie on the table crackled with Neil Collins' voice: "Miss Jian, I've reported the incident, and now the Minister of Housheng Province wants to speak to you, cough, cough...ugh—!"
