Simulation Game: Crisis Management

Chapter 46: Hold On for One More Day


Even though Gu Ji was a special police officer, he had to admit that soldiers were more effective than the police system in terms of execution.

The cruise ship was now in chaos, and the three elements of the infectious disease could not be determined. If they rashly docked and landed, and if there was a mistake in prevention and control, the virus would spread to the mainland, and the disaster would be even greater.

But if the military took over control, the effect would be much better!

"Sister, you really are amazing. Not only are your thoughts clear and your knowledge vast, but your command is precise, and you can handle a gun. Facing the Minister of Housheng Province, you didn't even flinch. I feel like you might be a special agent!"

Seeing him finish the conversation with the Minister of Housheng Province, Ito Meiyu came over excitedly, ready to hold his arm.

"I've just been working for a long time, that's all. The gun skills were casually practiced at the shooting range."

Gu Ji casually brushed it off, fully putting on his protective suit, "It's too dangerous outside right now. Stay inside the room honestly, don't wander around, and wait for the cleaning staff to come disinfect."

"I won't!"

Ito Meiyu immediately shook her head, her two pigtails swaying up and down, "I also want to go out and help, sister."

"Aren't you afraid of getting infected?"

"Not afraid!"

"Alright then, get fully protected, and come to the first-floor lobby to find me!"

Seeing Ito Meiyu's firm attitude, Gu Ji was happy to have more hands on deck.

Arriving at the first-floor lobby, under the command of Dr. Matsushima, the medical staff and some cleaning staff had all put on protective gear and were disinfecting the blood, vomit, and corpses on the ground.

Some were using temperature guns to check the body temperatures of the remaining staff on the ship.

"How did the call go?"

Seeing Gu Ji, Dr. Matsushima seemed to see a beacon, eagerly hoping to hear good news.

"They said they're considering redirecting to Jeju Island Port. This is my roommate Meiyu, she wants to help voluntarily, so let's arrange for her to take temperature checks."

With just a few words, Gu Ji arranged for Ito Meiyu and picked up the list of temperature records from the table, asking while checking, "How long can the medical supplies last?"

Dr. Matsushima hesitantly pulled him to a corner where no one was around and softly said:

"At most three days."

"Three days?"

Hearing this figure, Gu Ji's eyebrows instantly raised. He checked the time, and it was already 8 PM. Even if they redirected to Jeju Island now, it would still take at least a day.

If the negotiations between the Ministry of Foreign Affairs and South Korea succeeded, everything would be fine.

But if the communication failed and the cruise ship had to be redirected again, it would not be a matter of just one or two days. If medical supplies ran out midway, a large number of people would lose their lives!

"Unlike land-based public health processing, our medical supplies are stored according to OPP standards, enough to last until the end of the voyage. But now we have to adhere to the Level I emergency response standard, consuming at least six to seven hundred protective suits daily. With over 1,700 guest rooms, and maintaining disinfection in the medical three major zones 24 hours a day, the alcohol consumption is staggering..."

Dr. Matsushima was also in a difficult position.

The so-called OPP is a virus defense strategy for ships, generally divided into three levels: LV1 means no case; LV2 means the number of cases accounts for 0.5% of the total number of passengers and crew, or six patients appear within six hours;

When the number of cases accounts for 1.5% of passengers or 1% of crew, the OPP level for the entire ship rises to LV3. At this time, the cruise ship stops sailing, and all crew members join in daily cleaning, disinfecting 24 hours uninterrupted until the OPP level decreases.

However, the current situation is that the number of infected people on the cruise ship has already exceeded 3%, with countless close contacts.

After inquiring about the quantity of supplies, Gu Ji thought for a while and made changes:

"Reduce the guest rooms, transfer the suites to standard rooms, arrange two people per room, prioritize protective supplies for the medical observation and treatment areas, change protective suits for other positions every two days, and this way we should last for five days."

Matsushima nodded thoughtfully and asked:

"Won't reducing guest rooms trigger resistance from tourists, especially those VIP big clients? Do we need to discuss it with Mr. Morita first?"

"Discuss what? Is enjoyment more important, or is life more important?"

Gu Ji directly retorted, "For any malicious resistance behavior, hand it over to the police to handle."

As a result.

As soon as he finished saying this, the tourists squatting in the lobby could no longer "sit still," seeing the staff wearing white protective suits one after another while they were exposed to the virus-filled air. Under this contrasting panic, many simply got up to return to their rooms.

Xiaowu Yefu hurriedly stepped forward to stop them: "I'm sorry, sir, but we cannot confirm whether you've been infected, so you can't go back to your rooms for now."

"Fuck! I just want to go back to my room to rest!"

"You're all wearing protective suits, only thinking about saving your own lives, completely ignoring us!"

"Yeah, these Japanese only care about their own people. They won't care about us. I want to contact the United States Embassy!"

"Everyone, run! Staying here is a dead end!"

...

Unexpectedly, Xiaowu Yefu's reminder not only didn't work but also incited public indignation under the instigation of a few people.

"Police personnel, attention, maintain order immediately!"

Gu Ji quickly picked up the walkie-talkie to issue orders and rushed towards the conflict point, "What are you all trying to do? Don't you think the spread speed is fast enough?"

"You've been lying to us from the beginning! Fuck! Get out of my way!"

The white foreigner who first argued with Xiaowu Yefu cursed loudly and slapped Gu Ji.

But Gu Ji just tilted his head and easily avoided it while grabbing with both hands to bind him.

He inhaled into his chest, twisted his body under his elbow, lifted the foreigner's arm, and his hip lightningly knocked off his center of gravity. Hand, waist, hip, three points in a line, all completed in one go!

Over-shoulder throw!

With a loud snap, the white foreigner was heavily thrown to the ground, and Gu Ji immediately crossed his right leg over the foreigner's arm. With just a twist of his waist and hip, the opponent's arm would be snapped!

"Ugh..."

Looking at the foreigner gritting his teeth in pain, the previously restless crowd instantly quieted down.

Gu Ji let go and pulled him up, "We're all in the same boat now, even if I lied to you, where could I run to? Jump into the sea?"

The foreigner's face went red then white and didn't say anything.

It was unclear whether he had no reason to refute or was too afraid to refute after being hit.

At this time, a man from Xia Kingdom, who had earlier spoken up as Gu Ji's compatriot, stood up and asked, "Miss Jian, can we really survive?"

"Yes, I've already contacted the Minister of the Housheng Province. They've decided to redirect the cruise ship to Jeju Island Port. In just a day, you will receive military medical treatment, and everyone has hope of surviving."

Gu Ji turned to him and said calmly, "But the premise is that you must trust me, follow the arrangements, and prevent the virus from spreading further!"

Empty words have no use.

But with substantial information, it's different.

Once the crowd heard that they could land in just a day, they immediately felt relieved, and no one clamored to resist any longer.

"Where's Mr. Morioka?"

After resolving the conflict, Gu Ji remembered that the manager was missing.

Matsushima shook her head.

"Forget it, quickly classify these tourists. The longer we delay, the greater the risk of infection spreading!"

With a casual order from Gu Ji, everyone immediately took action, much more efficiently than before. It seemed they were impressed by his crisis-handling abilities just demonstrated.

That night.

The cruise ship began to turn, and he and Ito Meiyu worked with the medical staff until the second half of the night, separating out 128 mild and severe patients, and 468 close contacts. They returned to their cabins, almost out of energy to even change clothes.

The next morning.

Gu Ji was still woken up by the prompt tone of the game system.

[Goal: Remain uninfected by the virus within three days—completed!]

[Please choose your reward.]

[Immunity Boost (Small)] or [Corticosteroid ×1]

Corticosteroids are a type of steroid hormone that can relieve pain, eliminate fatigue, excite people, lower body temperature, and alleviate poisoning symptoms.

But he resolutely chose the first one.

[Immunity Boost (Small)]: Increases immune system capacity by 10%, enhances antiviral capability by 5%, and boosts specific T cell count by 9%.

As the imprint settled in the lower left corner, a new task appeared.

[New Goal: Find the source of infection!]
