The fever lasted longer this time than before, but fortunately, it fluctuated around 39.0 degrees and never exceeded 40 degrees, with the lowest being about 38.5 degrees. Its fever pattern was wave-like, which is consistent with the K virus's struggle with the immune system inside the body, because the current K virus is completely different from the previous one. The previous K virus had its replication gene knocked out; it was a castrated virus that would continuously decrease in number under the attack of the immune system, so once the high fever passed its peak, it could only decline thereafter.
The current K virus has the ability to replicate. When the human immune system kills part of the virus, it can recover its numbers through replication, presenting a tug-of-war with the human immune system. This tug-of-war is reflected in the wave-like pattern of the fever.
