Shao Qingge’s idea was that if so many people went to the free restaurant to eat, if something went wrong with the food, everyone would collectively suffer from vomiting and diarrhea. He specially chose an expensive and elegant Chinese restaurant for breakfast - who would have thought that Black
The peach gatekeeper doesn't play by common sense and will still give you diarrhea even after spending money!
This was the first time that Shao Qingge had "paid for suffering", and he had already scolded the ace of spades wearing sunglasses a hundred times in his heart.
There was a long queue in the public restroom, and everyone had no choice but to go back to the cabin to solve the problem of stomach upset.
Yu Hanjiang and Xiao Lou came to the infirmary together and asked the doctor for some medicine to treat acute diarrhea. Lao Mo went back to the shopping mall on the 7th floor and went to the pharmacy to buy some common medicines for fever and headache, as well as gauze to bandage trauma.
Iodine for disinfection, etc.
When everyone gathered again at 311, the materials were fully prepared.
Xiao Lou asked Mo Xuemin: "Old Mo, you have participated in the spades weekly program before, right? Have you also encountered food problems?"
Mo Xuemin said: "Last month, the Ace of Spades took everyone to a deserted island. We found a lot of wild vegetables and fruits. As a result, many people died of poisoning after eating the wild fruits...
Anyway, the probability of something going wrong with the food in the Secret Room of Spades is very high. But I didn’t expect that this time, Mr. Shao avoided the free restaurant and took us to eat very expensive steamed buns, and we would also get into trouble!"
Shao Qingge had a headache and said, "Don't mention it. I am so smart that I am misunderstood."
Xiao Lou smiled and looked at Shao Qingge: "It doesn't matter, Shao will always spend money and make money. He makes far more than he spends."
Shao Qingge felt better after being comforted by Professor Xiao.
Ye Qi suddenly said: "By the way, I wonder what happened to the people who made an appointment to eat at the captain's restaurant yesterday? It is said that the captain personally made exquisite dishes, and a meal costs hundreds of thousands. If they also have diarrhea, that's it.
Really unfair!"
Hearing this, Xiao Lou suddenly realized something was wrong and said: "No matter which restaurant I eat, I will have diarrhea. This is obviously not a problem with the food, but a problem with the fresh water stored on the ship. I guess the water source on the ship has been destroyed."
It’s contaminated. Judging from everyone’s symptoms, it looks like an acute gastrointestinal bacterial infection caused by excessive amounts of Salmonella, Staphylococcus aureus and other bacteria.”
There is a doctor in the team, so everyone naturally trusts Xiao Lou's judgment.
Xiao Lou's analysis is also very reasonable. Everyone ate steamed buns and rice porridge in the morning, and drank free water after the meal. At the free restaurant, some people ate cakes and milk, while others only ate noodles and rice noodles. The cruise ship was sailing out to sea.
I will definitely check the food beforehand. It is impossible that all vegetables, meat, rice, noodles, and eggs are spoiled and rotten. There is only one possibility for everyone to have diarrhea: there is a problem with the water.
As long as the drinking water is contaminated, the entire ship's passengers will be infected. What's even more frightening is that most people are used to drinking hot water to warm their stomachs when they have diarrhea, so as to relieve symptoms and gastrointestinal discomfort, but they don't know that water is the only talent.
Is the real culprit!
If a challenger who is suffering from diarrhea cannot figure this out and continues to drink hot water or take medicine with drinking water on the ship, the symptoms will not only be relieved, but will become worse!
Yu Hanjiang frowned and said: "Free hot water is provided on the ship. There are water tanks at the corners of the corridors on each floor. I saw many people holding cups to receive hot water. People with acute diarrhea kept drinking water containing bacteria, and their symptoms worsened.
If...Professor Xiao, will it cause death?"
Xiao Lou nodded solemnly: "Continuous diarrhea will cause water and electrolyte disorders in the body, an imbalance in the ratio of sodium ions and potassium ions in the blood, damage to myocardial cells, and eventually lead to shock and even death."
Ye Qi looked at the cup of hot water he had just received, as if he had seen a cup of poison. He immediately poured the water in the cup into the bathroom, patted his chest in fear, and said: "I almost drank it just now! Since childhood,
The idea that our parents instilled in us is to drink hot water when we have a cold or diarrhea..."
At this time, this subconscious concept may very well cost everyone's life.
Lao Mo quickly took out the sealed mineral water from his backpack and said, "The mineral water should be fine, right?"
Xiao Lou took the bottle and inspected it carefully, saying: "The seal is normal. The trademark of this mineral water is the same as the one we bought in the Financial Crisis Chamber before. It is also the same as the one issued in the [supply package]. There should be no problem."
Everyone breathed a sigh of relief. Yu Hanjiang opened a bottle of mineral water and said, "Use mineral water to take medicine and control the condition as soon as possible."
Everyone took the disposable cups bought from the supermarket, poured mineral water in and took the medicine one after another.
Since we had gone to the toilet several times in the morning and everyone had no appetite, Xiao Lou suggested that everyone not eat for the time being. If the gastrointestinal function has not been restored, diarrhea will continue after eating.
After an hour of rest, everyone's symptoms were relieved a lot.
Yu Hanjiang wanted to go to the seventh floor to see the situation, and everyone followed him to the shopping mall.
Sure enough, many challengers realized that there was a problem with the water source, so they moved mineral water directly into boxes in the supermarket. Most of the mineral water had been removed from the shelves in the shopping supermarket, and many challengers looked nervous.
He walked into the supermarket to grab supplies.
This reminded Xiao Lou of the scene when everyone emptied supermarkets together in the world of financial crisis.
At this moment, a scream was suddenly heard from the crowd: "Ah! Someone is dead!"
Xiao Lou immediately strode forward, squeezed through the crowd, and saw a young girl lying on the ground. Her face was as pale as paper, her lips were blue, and she was no longer breathing. Another girl collapsed and hugged her, calling her repeatedly.
Name: "Xiaoyou, wake up!"
Yu Hanjiang also walked over to see the situation.
The girl shed tears and said: "Xiaoyou has been having diarrhea and gastrointestinal discomfort. She hasn't eaten anything today and only drank a few cups of hot water..." As if she sensed something was wrong, the girl was slightly startled: "Is the water poisonous?"
?!"
Many people around me looked extremely ugly when they heard this.
A woman with a bad temper screamed: "There must be poison in the water! No wonder my husband's diarrhea has been unstoppable and he has been drinking hot water!" "Where's the captain? After checking for so long, haven't the results been found yet?
!" "We want a refund and take the cruise ship back quickly!"
A group of people cursed and rushed to the top deck, demanding to see the captain.
Several more people suddenly collapsed on the road, and their deaths were exactly the same as the girl just now.
In the blink of an eye, several passengers died, and the passengers on the entire cruise ship fell into extreme panic.
Those who were calmer quickly went to the supermarket to grab mineral water, and those who had no idea leaned against the fence and stared at the bodies of those people in a daze. Some radicals continued to flock to the captain's room, furiously denounced the ocean-going company, and demanded an explanation from the captain.
The old captain ran to the deck sweating profusely, holding a big loudspeaker and said: "Please don't get excited! We are investigating..."
The tourists did not listen to his explanation at all and roared: "What a waste of investigation! You have been investigating for so long and still haven't found out the cause?" "There must be something wrong with the water. I only drank a glass of water in the morning and I had diarrhea several times."
!" "Everyone on the ship has food poisoning, and some people have died!" "Don't you have to be responsible for the death of so many people?!"
A man suddenly rushed over and grabbed the old captain by the collar. He was so angry that he choked and roared: "Give me back my wife! My wife is dead, she is dead! Just because she got on this lousy cruise ship of yours, she
Just died in the cabin from food poisoning!”
When people around heard this, they stepped forward one after another and surrounded the captain. Some people suggested: "We should call the police immediately!" "The cruise ship has already gone to sea, there is no signal, and it cannot be contacted--
People on the shore!"
The voices of some girls were already crying: "What should we do? Will we all die on this ship?"
The situation became increasingly chaotic. The old captain was being pushed around and his face was extremely pale. He had been a captain for so many years and had never encountered such a situation. All the tourists on the ship were suffering from food poisoning... He thought that before the cruise ship left the dock,
The fresh water reserves and food reserves are all checked by the logistics director on the ship and confirmed to be OK. How could this happen?
The old captain suddenly trembled: "Go and call Director Qi over!"
A subordinate immediately went to the cabin on the first floor to look for Director Qi. As a result, he searched all over the ship but could not find him. The subordinate ran back dejectedly and said: "Qi, Director Qi is missing!"
The old captain had a bad feeling in his heart and clenched his fists hard: "Broadcast the whole ship, find it for me!"
Just then, a deep voice sounded: "No need to look for it, he just left in the escape boat."
——It's Yu Hanjiang, Xiao Lou and his party.
Just now, they were standing at the stern of the ship and saw a man checking the escape cabin at the stern. They thought he was the crew member responsible for safety, but the man suddenly untied the rope of an escape boat, opened the escape boat and ran away!
The electric escape boat was extremely fast, and in the blink of an eye, the man disappeared into the vast sea.
Yu Hanjiang quickly determined that this person was the culprit of food poisoning among all the passengers on the ship!
Shao Qingge asked curiously: "Could he be a hunter? Wanting to make the entire cruise ship's passengers die on the vast ocean by polluting water sources?"
Lao Mo shook his head: "No, hunters receive bonuses based on the number of challengers they kill. One million per head. If you kill powerful challengers, such as some guild presidents, there will be a bonus of 100 million."
. He ran away directly, not knowing how many people would die on the boat, which is not like the style of a hunter."
Xiao Lou agreed: "If he wanted to kill people directly, he would not put bacteria in the water, but directly put poison that would kill people immediately after drinking it. That would be faster."
Ye Qi's eyes suddenly lit up: "I know, he is the logistics director who had been complaining about the low salary and being unable to support his family when I was eavesdropping last night. He also mentioned that he did not want to continue working on the cruise ship...
...Perhaps he has long had a problem with the ocean-going company and the captain, and has deep grudges, so he uses this method to retaliate?"
Yu Hanjiang nodded and thought Ye Qi's statement was more reasonable.
Listening to the noise on the deck, Yu Hanjiang immediately made a decision: "We have to stop the passengers from making trouble. If this continues, if the captain is forced to abandon the ship and escape, the entire cruise ship will be isolated and helpless on the sea. We want to clear the customs
It’s going to get harder!”
Everyone unanimously agreed to Captain Yu's proposal and immediately went to the top deck.
On the deck, hearing Yu Hanjiang's voice, the old captain was startled: "What did you say? Director Qi ran away?"
Yu Hanjiang said: "Yes, we just saw him running away in the escape boat."
When the people around realized that the culprit had escaped, they suddenly became excited and wanted to vent their anger on the remaining crew members. Some people even clamored to beat up the captain...
Yu Hanjiang's sharp gaze swept across the audience and shouted sternly: "Quiet! Can making trouble solve the problem?!"
His voice seemed to have a magical power that penetrated people's hearts. The surroundings suddenly became quiet. Yu Hanjiang said coldly: "If you beat the captain and make him disabled, who of you will be responsible for driving the ship?"
When everyone heard this, they immediately took a step back in embarrassment.
The captain seemed to have grasped a life-saving straw and immediately echoed: "That's right! Don't do anything, don't get excited, we will safely send everyone to Sun City! If the fresh water stored on the ship is contaminated, there is actually another way - we
There is a very advanced seawater desalination system, and the equipment on board can process several tons of seawater a day, so you don’t have to worry about running out of water!”
The faces of the passengers were full of doubts. One man asked: "Is this device you are talking about reliable?"
The captain nodded: "Don't worry! Drinking water for many residents in coastal cities is also provided through seawater desalination systems. This equipment uses reverse osmosis technology. The pore size of the reverse osmosis membrane is very small, so it can effectively remove dissolved salts in the water.
Colloids, microorganisms, organic matter, etc., the quality of the water produced after filtration is similar to mineral water!"
Xiao Lou has heard of this kind of reverse osmosis technology. It is not surprising that long-distance cruise ships are equipped with seawater desalination systems. After all, in case of an accident at sea, seawater cannot be drank directly. It is most convenient to use reverse osmosis technology to desalinate seawater into drinking water.
Quick method.
Yu Hanjiang said: "Everyone is drinking mineral water for the time being, and we will wait until the captain takes care of the water source."
Everyone's expressions softened a lot.
Some people whose relatives and friends had just died still had ugly expressions: "Did my wife die in vain?" "Yes, my brother also fell down due to food poisoning just now. Wow... Captain, you have to give us an explanation!"
The old captain looked sad and said loudly: "I'm sorry everyone, I didn't expect this to happen! The logistics director on our ship did not fulfill his responsibility and there was a problem with the drinking water. Please don't worry. If a relative dies, we will definitely give him some advice."
Corresponding compensation! I have contacted the dock and the police will send a rescue boat to pick up their bodies and take everyone back to the Moon City..."
The crowd's emotions were temporarily appeased and everyone returned to their cabins to rest.
This was just an episode during the cruise. Soon, the police rescue boat called by the captain came over and took away the bodies and their relatives on the ship. A Challenger team also boarded the ship, with a total of 10 people.
The reason why Xiao Lou made this judgment was that there were middle-aged people and students in the team, 6 men and 4 women, who did not look like relatives. The deceased was the girl named "Xiao You" at the beginning, and 9 people carried her body.
When we got to the rescue boat, except for the girl who was close to her who kept crying, everyone else had ugly expressions on their faces - but no one shed tears.
If they were relatives, they wouldn't be so indifferent.
Ye Qi watched the rescue boat go away and couldn't help but curiously said: "The challenger on that boat was taken directly to the Moon City by the police. The rescue boat is traveling very fast. It can probably reach the Moon City before dark.
?Then do they pass the customs directly?"
Xiao Lou shook his head: "It doesn't matter, they have been eliminated."
Ye Qi was startled: "What do you mean?"
Xiao Lou sighed softly and said: "When I entered Zhou Chang's secret room, I was reminded that the survival goal this time is to survive at sea for seven days. They left early and could not complete the task of surviving at sea for seven days. They were following the rescue
The moment the ship leaves the cruise ship, they essentially abandon their weekly mission."
Lao Mo sighed with emotion: "To actually make such a low-level mistake...Be sure to understand the mission objectives before entering the secret room. You have passed the previous four levels, and you don't have a long memory. You are careless at this time. It is really a pity for this team."
"
Xiao Lou said: "It's probably because a teammate died suddenly, and everyone is upset."
A team must have someone who can stabilize the morale of the army under any circumstances. If it were Xiao Lou and his team, even if someone died suddenly, Yu Hanjiang would not make the stupid decision to "leave with the police force".
That 10-person team has already been eliminated.
But what the challengers who remain on the ship will encounter next is still unknown.
When will the thunderstorm come? Xiao Lou looked at the endless clear sky and felt unsure at all.
