"You little brat, are you looking for death? You don't even know what this is, yet you dare to use it on yourself? Aren't you afraid of losing your life?"
Guo Tingshuo talked on and on for more than ten minutes, making Miao Yifeng blush and cower in the corner, too afraid to move.
Of course, the blushing is just what everyone imagines. After all, these days, everyone seems to have a red face and ears, without exception.
After venting his anger, Guo Tingshuo looked at everyone and said, "Go back, everyone. We've been notified that you're on leave for now. We'll see when to resume work after the research institute releases its results."
"Don't wander around when you get back, especially avoid sunlight, or you might lose your life someday, and the guards won't be responsible."
After saying that, Guo Tingshuo left, leaving everyone looking at each other in bewilderment.
Despite his fierce demeanor, Guo Tingshuo was actually quite panicked inside.
When he first started working, he sent the data that Shen Yanming had given him to the medical team, but then he received news that Meng Wu had started to develop abscesses.
Moreover, once the abscesses reach a certain size, they rupture, and the pus that flows out will cause other healthy skin to develop abscesses as soon as it touches the skin. It's like a plague, spreading rapidly all over the body.
The scariest thing is that if it gets on someone else's skin, it might cause them to develop boils.
The medical team dared not experiment, since they hadn't found a cure yet. They didn't want to risk injuring others as well, which would be a huge loss.
Upon hearing the news, Guo Tingshuo felt heavy-hearted and only instructed the medical team to take good care of Meng Wu. He told him not to worry about whether Meng Wu would be disfigured, as long as he could survive.
They were also secretly relieved that no one else had shown similar symptoms. As long as the infected group was brought under control, they could get through this crisis.
However, he was so distracted that he even ignored the slight itch on his body.
He had a feeling something was about to happen, and he didn't get much work done all afternoon. Looking down at the time, he noticed redness and pustules starting to appear on his arm.
He was startled and quickly took out his phone to open the front camera. He then discovered that his face and arms were covered with seven or eight pustules the size of fingernails.
Guo Tingshuo slumped into his seat, thinking that his appearance shouldn't be used to harm others. Just as he was about to head to the medical team for quarantine, the phone rang.
He answered the phone, and before he could even speak, he heard the instructions relayed from above.
Because of a large-scale outbreak of impetigo in Qinghua Kingdom, before the source of the disease and the route of transmission have been determined, all units are required to take leave and all personnel are required to self-isolate.
Furthermore, it is required that all patients with impetigo should not seek medical attention if they do not have symptoms such as limb or internal organ pain, fever, convulsions, fainting, difficulty breathing, or shock. Instead, they should stay at home and wait for the research results and treatment plan from the institute.
At the same time, everyone is asked to maintain good hygiene and try not to break the boils. If they are accidentally broken, the pus that comes out should be carefully wiped away, and items contaminated with the pus should be disposed of to prevent infection.
Of course, pustules will rupture on their own once they form. Therefore, it's important to keep an eye on them to prevent the pus from unknowingly damaging other healthy skin.
Guo Tingshuo was so startled by Miao Yifeng's action of squeezing the abscess that he forgot to mention these precautions while he was busy scolding him.
He only remembered when he got back to his office, and hurriedly went back to remind everyone. Needless to say, no one had left; they were all gathered around Miao Yifeng, observing the abscess's growth.
Guo Tingshuo squeezed in, glanced inside, and asked, "Does it hurt? How does it feel? I need to write it down so I can report it to the medical team."
Miao Yifeng glanced at Guo Tingshuo, and before he could even speak, he looked aggrieved. His eyes were red, and his lips trembled as he burst into tears.
"Captain Guo, am I going to die? Have I caught a contagious disease? Have they all been infected by me?"
Miao Yifeng didn't mention Meng Wu because he hadn't seen Meng Wu develop abscesses. However, after his abscess ruptured, not only did abscesses start appearing on other parts of his arm, but they also started appearing on everyone else in the office.
Guo Tingshuo glared at him and said irritably, "I don't know if you infected me. But didn't you see that I also have pustules on my face?"
So, according to you, am I also a culprit? Who infected me, and who did I infect?
Miao Yifeng dared not speak, tears welling up in his eyes, threatening to fall.
Guo Tingshuo took a breath before saying, "There's an outbreak of impetigo all over the country right now. The cause is unknown, the source of infection is unknown, and the treatment effect is unknown. In short, nobody can say for sure how this disease came about or what its impact is."
Therefore, the higher-ups asked everyone to go home first and self-isolate, just as I just told you.
However, I forgot to remind you that if the pus from these abscesses flows onto normal skin, it can cause other abscesses to form on that skin, so you should be careful.
Once the abscess ruptures, be sure to clean it promptly with tissues or cotton cloth, and dispose of any items that have come into contact with the pus.
Burning is one method, but we need to be careful about fires. The guard might later set up an incinerator specifically for burning these infectious items.
After Guo Tingshuo finished speaking, everyone nodded to indicate that they understood.
Only Miao Yifeng gave Guo Tingshuo a resentful look and said, "Even if you hadn't come back to tell us, we would have known. Look, I'm here as a living example, demonstrating to them my own experience."
If you had reminded me sooner, I wouldn't have let the abscesses get so many more.
"Who knew you'd be so reckless, daring to poke a boil without knowing anything." Guo Tingshuo reached out his finger to poke his forehead, but found himself at a loss and could only awkwardly withdraw it.
He continued, "Look at them, how many of them don't have abscesses? How can these be the same as the abscesses you get from training? Those are tissue fluid, what is this? We haven't even tested it yet."
At least those honed through training are not contagious.
Miao Yifeng felt a little guilty and argued, "They're all boils, so who would have thought the treatment methods would be different?"
Guo Tingshuo shook his head, not knowing what to say.
But when he looked up, he noticed that Shen Yanming's face and arms were only red, without any pustules. He asked, "Why are you different from everyone else?"
At this moment, everyone's attention shifted from Miao Yifeng to Shen Yanming. Seeing his smooth, exposed skin, they all became green with envy.
"Yanming, you haven't said a word, so everyone's been ignoring you. And wow, your skin is so good!"
"Tell me quickly, how did you manage to do that? Why are you the only one in the whole office who didn't get boils?"
"Yes, let's tell everyone. Maybe we can find a treatment plan."
