Global Collapse

Chapter 321 The Mad Gu Mian...Patient
This game has indeed done a lot of unethical things to trick people.

The recent extreme cold weather was probably caused by it.

Gu Mian and her group had speculated that the game had two organizers, one beneficial to humanity and the other harmful. It seemed that the organizer who was harmful to humanity had almost taken control of the real world.

"Speaking of which..." Chu Changge looked up in the slightly blinding flashlight beam and stared directly at Gu Mian, "Aren't you going to check the contents of your own panel?"

Gu Mian's control panel was always exposed, and Chu Changge could see the contents of it clearly.

The first line reads: "[Dungeon Reviewer #10065 is at your service...]"

Without a doubt, this is the evaluation after the dungeon ends.

Previous reviews were almost all conducted in dungeons, but this review only appeared after I was teleported out.

Gu Mian suspected that the instance was in such a hurry to teleport them out that this situation occurred.

"Ignore it, continue." Gu Mian had already glanced at it, and like the previous times, it was mostly nonsense except for the reward.

Chu Changge then continued, "This infectious disease is spreading rapidly. Right now, I've only identified the initial symptoms, including cough, fever, nausea, vomiting, and most importantly..."

He paused here, then added, "It seems to be accompanied by mild allergy symptoms."

allergy?

Gu Mian touched her chin. Although the temperature had warmed up a bit, it wasn't that high. Most people outside were wearing long sleeves and trousers, so not much skin was showing.

Chu Changge was able to deduce allergy symptoms simply from his exposed face and hands.

Chu Changge pushed up his glasses: "I've noticed that people are scratching themselves much more frequently lately, which is why I made this guess."

That's true. If someone on the street scratches and claws like a monkey, it's hard not to notice them.

What's remarkable is that Chu Changge managed to visit so many areas and observe the behavior of so many people in such a short period of time.

Gu Mian looked at the map in her hand again.

The map is roughly divided into three color zones: red, yellow, and green.

Chu Changge explained, "Red areas are heavily infected zones. Entering these areas is extremely dangerous, with a very high chance of contracting the virus. Of course, this disease is just beginning to spread, so there isn't a situation of heavily infected individuals yet. But based on my observations, if this virus develops further in the future, red areas will definitely become severely affected areas..."

“These areas are densely populated, and there should be many corpses hidden in them. Several residential communities are located here, mostly adjacent to each other from north to south. Some communities are separated by only a very narrow road. There is a prevailing northerly wind now. If the virus is resilient and can be transmitted through the air, then as long as there is wind, these areas will quickly fall.”

"Yellow areas are considered high-risk zones. The population is not dense, and there are not many sources of infection. However, because they are located on main roads, people often pass through these areas while traveling, so there is still a risk of infection..."

In that case, Gu Mian would know that the green area was a safe zone without being told.

“Green areas are relatively safe, but not absolutely safe,” Chu Changge said. “Green areas are sparsely populated, but there’s a concern that some animals may carry viruses and spread them, such as rats, flies, and cockroaches.”

"People don't seem to realize how serious the situation is yet; they seem to treat this virus as just a common flu."

Gu Mian nodded slightly. After all, the weather had been freezing before, so it wouldn't be surprising if she had caught the flu.

Some people are even refusing to take their medicine. Now that hospitals and pharmacies are all closed, medicines in supermarkets are ridiculously expensive.

Many people want to save their stored medications for critical moments, but whether they will actually be effective during these times is another matter.

I'm afraid that if we wait a few more days, people who don't take this seriously will start to panic.

He noticed that Chu Changge had marked their hearse in green, a color that stood out starkly against the surrounding yellow hue.

Chu Changge explained, "As soon as I discovered there might be a spread of infectious disease, I went to the medical supplies section of the supermarket and bought this. Masks can indeed block some viruses, but I'm afraid Fatty might suddenly die if he wears a mask to sleep..." Gu Mian: "..."

The fat man's snoring seemed to be getting louder and louder.

As Chu Changge spoke, he reached out and picked up something from in front of the windshield.

It was something similar to a solid air freshener, and as Chu Changge moved, Gu Mian caught a faint scent.

It smelled the same as when he first came back.

【Daily Use - Virus C Freshener】

This odor can repel some types of airborne viruses; the smaller the space where it is used, the more obvious the repelling effect.

This means that if you throw this air freshener outside, its effective range is the entire Earth, so it will have virtually no effect.

But if placed in this small car, it will play a very important role.

As for when it will expire, it's the same as solid air fresheners; it expires when it has completely evaporated.

Gu Mian still remembers that the supermarket medicines were divided into four categories: A, B, C, and D, with prices decreasing in that order.

Class C medical supplies cost around several hundred game coins, which is a bit expensive.

But it's worth it so that the fat guy won't suddenly die while sleeping.

"I didn't find any high-end ticket booths nearby," Chu Changge remembered that he needed to find a high-end ticket hall to enter the high-end dungeon. "What are your plans?"

At this moment, Gu Mian had already closed her settlement panel.

Unsurprisingly, he received an S-level rating, though he had some reservations about the part about "kidnapping and threatening key personnel from a variety show."

The reward is 999 game coins, 9 attribute points, and a special item. It seems that the dungeon is trying to give people a way out, so the special items that everyone has recently obtained should all be related to medicine.

Toy Goose brand flu medicine

[Description: This medicine is from the Toy Goose Pharmaceutical Factory and is one of the first batches of drugs produced by the company. Due to the lack of proficiency in the technology, it may produce some strange side effects after consumption.]

[Function: Treatment]

This function is simple and easy to understand.

But this toy goose company...

Gu Mian frowned. Was this company releasing products at a slightly too high frequency? The previous "phone that broke through the dimensional barrier" was a product of this company.

The company was also mentioned later in the article "A Failed Test Reagent".

Gu Mian vaguely remembered that she had complained about Toy Goose when she read the introduction to "A Failed Experimental Reagent".

Seeing that Gu Mian didn't speak, Chu Changge repeated, "What are your plans?"

Gu Mian then came to her senses: "Let's stay in a slightly safer place for the time being."

Only an idiot would wander around in a heavily infected area.

Chu Changge was silent for a while before speaking: "Have you noticed that you are the only doctor in the world, and the world ravaged by the virus is very advantageous to you... You can imagine hundreds of meters of patients lining up in front of the door waiting for you to treat them. Even if your identity is exposed, the crazy patients will not allow anyone to kill their only doctor. They will overthrow everything in order to survive."
