After riding Little Gums back, Zhou Zhi quickly noticed something strange about Changdu.

Compared with the tension before, now the whole city is on alert.

There are several more inspection steps to enter the Changdu gate than before.

Just returned to Changdu, and before returning to the hotel, the message from Epidemic Prevention Center arrived.

The captains of each group gathered at the headquarters in the central area.

No one spoke, and the atmosphere was extremely dull.

"What happened."

Fang Hui noticed something obviously strange.

Zhou Zhi quickly learned the details from Plague Exterminator around him.

Originally, the [Liu Zhaoguang] dean of Longevity Path was not killed by Qi Chongxiao, but was imprisoned in prison by the CD City Hall to interrogate and learn about [Longevity].

Except for Zhou Zhi, not many people know the source of Longevity Path's power.

The power of [cancer] is currently hidden in high places.

But it really has the possibility of Longevity, and the forces behind it are also complicated, and even involve Central Council of Xuanyuan.

Because of this, Qi Chongxiao and Fu An worked together to imprison him to see if they could get some secrets about Pestilence.

Unexpectedly, it was just the day before.

A Plague Exterminator of Chief Surgeon Grade broke into Changdu prison and directly killed Liu Zhaoguang.

"Director Fu seems very angry."

Someone next to me whispered.

Can you not be angry?

What's more important is that Plague Exterminator disappeared directly after killing Liu Zhaoguang.

Even though Fu An dispatched a large number of Plague Exterminator to search Changdu, no results were found.

One day has passed.

I'm afraid the other party had already used a special method to escape Changdu.

Some special image data were sent to Zhou Zhi.

"Hey, this Plague-Slaying Blade..."

Fang Hui opened his eyes wide and looked at objects that were obviously different from normal Plague-Slaying Blade: "[High-Frequency Electric Scalpel]?"

"This thing is the new Plague-Slaying Blade produced by Ultimate Bliss. It has [blood coagulation] and [high-speed cutting] effects. The prototype of this thing was only seen in Ultimate Bliss's journal [Named Blades] a few years ago. I didn't expect it to be researched so quickly."

Fang Hui was a little surprised.

Although on the Ultimate Bliss side, in slightly feudal countries, for example [Chengyun Dynasty] is evaluated as having broken rites and music, but on the Plague Extermination Art side, Ultimate Bliss is leading the trend in Six Nations anyway.

The most advanced surgical methods, the most radical use of drugs, even human experiments, genetic research involving ethical issues...

While I was thinking about it, Qi Xinling came up from the front. "Zhou Zhi... The task of [eliminating New Liang] you reported has been informed by the New Liang City Hall. The captain is waiting for you in the office."

Qi Xinling looked at Zhou Zhi.

She naturally knows about the task Qi Chongxiao assigned to Zhou Zhi.

For a trainee Plague Exterminator, this is almost an impossible task.

However, New Liang is now receiving news that two of the three major Patient Familys entrenched in the New Liang underground have perished, and the last Lupus Erythematosus Family has completely evacuated New Liang.

New Liang's city hall clarified the entire underground without a single blow.

"Zhou Zhi..."

The aura of spiritual power on this person is not strong even among trainee-level Plague Exterminator.

His father gave him this task, and he actually completed it.

Qi Xinling nodded slightly and showed a faint smile.

This Zhou Zhi will become a strong person in the future.

"Zhou Zhi, do you like girls older than you?"

Fang Hui asked.

Zhou Zhi has no interest in answering such questions.

Following Qi Xinling, he arrived at Qi Chongxiao's office. Qi Xinling then went out and closed the door behind him.

Inside the door.

Fu An is sitting on the sofa with a gloomy look on his face.

On the contrary, Qi Chongxiao on the other side is holding his legs crossed.

"Old man, stop frowning like that, it's not good for your skin."

Qi Chongxiao said with a smile.

"Things have already happened... Although it is sad, it doesn't matter. Liu Zhaoguang himself joined Longevity Path halfway, so he cannot be a core member of Longevity Path."

"As for the Plague Exterminator who took [Electric Knife], if I encounter him in the future, I will help you deal with him."

Fu An raised his head. "That's not necessary."

The woman looked towards Zhou Zhi and pursed her lips.

Qi Chongxiao looked at Zhou Zhi.

"Zhou Zhi, you're here, come on, come on, don't stand there, sit down."

Zhou Zhi nodded and sat on the other side of Fu An.

Qi Chongxiao picked up the file on the desktop and took a look at it twice. "Hmm... very good, what do you say Chen Luo?"

Zhou Zhi was not surprised. "He didn't say anything and seemed not to be planning to return to Changdu."

Qi Chongxiao Place the file back on the desktop.

"Zhou Zhi, you are excellent."

"It's so good that I'm a little surprised."

"So..."

Qi Chongxiao calmed down. "Do you want to join Reform Faction?"

"The choice is yours."

Zhou Zhi is clear, it is not an ordinary join.

What Qi Chongxiao proposed here is added as a [core].

Fu An Stand up straight.

She is very satisfied with Zhou Zhi.

A young man who is talented and good enough and has almost no faults.

The current situation of Reform Faction is not good, and we need such outstanding talents.

Zhou Zhi was silent for a while, seeming to be thinking.

He bent down and took out a pitch black Plague-Slaying Blade from his Black Box.

Qi Chongxiao recognized it at a glance, it was Chen Chaosheng's [Black Kite].

"I met Di Qiuyan at New Liang."

"She gave me this Plague-Slaying Blade."

Zhou Zhi observed Qi Chongxiao's expression.

Sure enough.

Qi Chongxiao should be aware of the transactions between Di Qiuyan and Chen Chaosheng.

"Then, Di Qiuyan also told me not to join Reform Faction."

Qi Chongxiao changed his posture and seemed not surprised by what Di Qiuyan said to Zhou Zhi.

"What's the reason?"

Zhou Zhi looked into Qi Chongxiao's eyes.

"Captain Qi, it's about [Dragon Among Men]."

Zhou Zhi's voice was calm, without any other emotions.

"Reform Faction, there seems to be no strong person who is completely subordinate to him."

Zhou Zhi's voice fell, and Fu An seemed to have something to say, but was stopped by Qi Chongxiao's eyes.

"So..."

Qi Chongxiao said slowly.

"Captain Qi, Manager Fu, thank you for your love."

Zhou Zhi stood up and bowed respectfully.

Qi Chongxiao seemed not surprised by the choice made by Zhou Zhi, and he laughed.

"Hahaha, don't force it, don't force it."

Zhou Zhi looked at the ground.

"There is one more thing about [Great Capital]'s trip."

Qi Chongxiao smiled, "You still want to go?"

Zhou Zhi nodded. "When I first stepped into Plague Extermination World, I felt how beautiful and strange this world is. Meeting people like Chen Chaosheng and Di Qiuyan gave me the idea of pursuing a higher path to eradicate the epidemic."

He picked up [Black Kite]: "Captain Qi, I have this knife..."

"Since Di Qiuyan gave it to you, just take it."

Qi Chongxiao waved his hand. "Chen Chaosheng will come to you to get it sooner or later."

"Ah, I'm a little tired."

"How about we stop here today."

Qi Chongxiao said, "As for [promotion], we'll wait until the day after tomorrow. It's Epidemic Prevention Center. Don't worry, I'll do it myself. I won't break my promise."

Zhou Zhi saluted, then left and closed the door.

Qi Chongxiao's smile slowly faded.
