Chapter 242: Chapter 55 A Kind Vivian
Mang Plague?
Soran’s face was not pleasant, and he was not so clear about the diseases in this world. Because professions have strong resistance, especially for non-supernatural diseases, many professions were even completely immune to damage from diseases. In the past and present, Soran’s extraordinary constitution already had 20 points. That is to say, he had a very low probability of contracting diseases and had not paid much attention to the diseases in the world. He was able to ignore most of the diseases. As for the ordinary people and low-level professions, that would be very hard.
The young man’s infection was very serious. Currently, he was getting unconscious with the fever ongoing.
Judging from the state of his illness and pustules on his back, Soran felt that the disease was a bit like smallpox from the legends. He had never seen smallpox himself, nor suffered from similar diseases, but he had learned about smallpox in the past. It was a very serious disease, belonging to a kind of pox virus. After being infected, it would manifest with symptoms like severe blood poisoning (shivering, high fever, fatigue, headache, aching limbs and back, and if the body temperature rose sharply, even convulsion and coma would occur), and the skin would successively have rashes, pimples, blisters, pustules in batches, and finally form scabs and shed them, leaving pox scars.
Smallpox was a type of severe infectious disease, for which if people who were not immune caught the disease, chances of death were over 30%!
Because the virus was prevalent in a large part of history, his memory of smallpox symptoms was still relatively clear. The disease plaguing the young slave in front of him seemed a little like smallpox, but it was concentrated on his back and limbs and did not grow into his face. At the same time, when the disease had blisters, it directly became pustules. Judging from the current situation, his disease was more severe than smallpox, because smallpox had an incubation period, which would only gradually get serious after.
But!
This group of slaves had just been on board for two days. Before they were on board, all the slaves went through a simple inspection, that was because they were afraid that some of them might have been sick and would infect the others.
But it had only two days, the symptoms of his body had begun to have rotting pustules.
The situation seemed pessimistic!
All the people turned their sights onto the Soran that was in front of them. The slave who stopped other people from approaching the infected realized that Soran was the one who decided the fate of his brother. He knelt on the ground and kept kowtowing and pleading: “Your Excellency!… Master!… Please!… Please help my brother!… He would not infect others with his disease!… Please don’t throw him into the sea! ”
Time ticked away.
Soran contemplated for a moment. About half a minute later, he then raised his head impassively and said: “Throw that sick one into the sea! Tell the rest of the people to disinfect the whole place, and the one who took care of him, lock him up alone so that if he was infected, he would not be infecting the others!… Let the slaves clean the inside and prepare some boiled water for them!….. Everyone at the back must be aware that once someone has the same symptoms, let me know immediately!… ”
This disease looked very troublesome.
If it was similar to smallpox, it would be a nightmare!
Soran could not risk the lives of the entire fleet because of a slave. So he thought for a moment and chose to deal with them most rationally.
With his order, the sailors on both sides quickly approached, ready to throw the young man into the sea.
Bang!
It seemed that the older brother of the slave wanted to push away the sailor, but one of them directly punched his fist down. He seemed to have some fighting experience and was relatively strong. After the impact, he was still standing in front of the unconscious young man. The slaves nearby were watching coldly, and their eyes were even filled with fear and disgust. Although they were just slaves of the lowest status, they did not think about giving up their lives, and it was still better to live than to die.
“Older brother?”
Just then, a clear childish voice sounded in the cabin.
Vivian was wearing a snow-white princess dress and had a ponytail tied with a pink ribbon. Her chest even had a delicate pin. Then she skipped to the bottom of the cabin which smelled bad. Having just came in, the little girl could not help but raised her hand to cover her nose, then after some adjustments, she naturally put down her little hand. She then smiled towards Soran’s position, then trotted and leaped over. She used to live in the slums and had long been adapted to the foul stench and filthy environment.
“Ay?”
Like a little angel descending, Vivian lit the dark and smelly cabin with a little more light. The other people could not help staring at her, then saw her arriving at Soran’s side. She raised her little hand and held Soran’s finger, then frowned slightly, and said in a clear childish voice: “Brother? What happened to them? Is that man sick? He looks so pitiful! ”
Soran took Vivian’s little hand and protectively had her take a step back.
Although this little girl was a Child of Fear and there was no possibility of her catching the disease, Soran was still worried. He did not want her too close to the infected slave.
“Oh?”
The little girl tilted her head and took a look, then said: “Seems like the illness is very serious? What are they about to do? I heard that they were going to throw him into the sea.”
