Rice blast is a disease caused by pathogenic bacteria infecting rice.

To be honest, Zhou Zhi doesn't know much about this disease. To be precise, he has only heard about it.

In Past Life, this disease does not infect humans and is a specialized Pestilence disaster.

"Can actually infect humans..."

Zhou Zhi raised his head slightly. "What a blessing this world Plague Exterminator is."

"That's not right either."

"Since there is this disease, there will also be one that specifically targets plant Pestilence [plant Plague Exterminator]."

Zhou Zhi thought so, Fang Hui began to squirm inside his body.

"Hey, hey, it's so scary. Do you know about this disease?"

"I have never heard of straw growing on people's bodies."

Fang Hui said somewhat excitedly.

Zhou Zhi said nothing because the screams were already coming and going.

The area where the old man became sick was in the passage between the ninth and tenth carriages, and the screaming sound came from the carriages on both sides. It seemed that the shocking scene of the disease in front of them had caused many people to vomit on the spot.

"What kind of monster is this!"

"Help... Help, where is Plague Exterminator!"

Zhou Zhi stood in front, looking at [Scarecrow].

"He... he is Plague Exterminator!"

Shen Wang huddled in the back and said to the flight attendant.

So young?

Although the flight attendant's face turned pale, he still looked at Zhou Zhi's back.

She has a slim and tall figure, and... well, she does have a pitch black Plague-Slaying Blade on her waist.

"This..."

ahead.

Zhou Zhi has moved.

Heart, pumping blood.

Like a blower, beating like crazy.

Heart rate rises rapidly.

The spiritual power spreads to the right hand and at the same time, spreads to the fingers.

Not only the blood, but also the nerves inside the heart begin to beat violently.

When Zhou Zhi's heart beats, there will even be a faint sound, like some kind of [sound].

"[Black Kite]."

Zhou Zhi draws the sword with his right hand.

[Heart Slash].

Spiritual power envelops the blade.

With the force of vibrating the atrium, it spreads accurately to the front.

Powerful spiritual pressure covers the entire tunnel.

Included [Scarecrow-Old Smoker].

"Huh?"

The scarecrow's face with open pores became extremely weird. Zhou Zhi's strike with the blade was like cutting tofu, cutting Pathogenized Object in front of him from the center of his heart.

Vessels, flesh and blood, a lot of blood, with some strange fragrance.

Divided into two.

The cigarette fell to the ground and quickly turned into withered ears of wheat.

The entire Disease Seed weakened weakly, blocking the passage, and shook violently as [Hope] violently advanced.

[End of surgery].

Sheath the knife.

Done in one go.

Not a drop of blood from Disease Seed was on Zhou Zhi's body.

And around him.

All of them are dull eyes.

"Well, it's okay."

Zhou Zhi first said something to the people in the tenth carriage, then turned around and said to the stewardess, "Pathogenization Incident has been cleared. Now we just need to wait for the epidemic prevention personnel to come and disinfect."

"This is just a very low-level Disease Seed, so as long as there is no direct contact, there is no risk of illness."

After saying that, Zhou Zhi nodded and walked back to his seat.

There was silence for about ten seconds.

Only then did everyone react.

Just killed?

Such a terrifying diseased monster was killed by this young man with one blow?

This young man probably doesn't even look eighteen years old, right?

"This..."

The stewardess looked at Zhou Zhi, and at this moment, the Communicator on her waist rang.

"We are about to arrive at the ninth carriage. Please tell us how the situation is now?"

The stewardess looked at the corpse on the ground with complicated eyes, and the howling wind coming from the outside because the door was damaged.

"The passenger on the ninth carriage is Plague Exterminator, and the Pathogenization Incident is suspected to have been eliminated."

"Huh? Got it."

"[Black Kite-Heart Slash]."

Fang Hui was thinking about why this name sounded so familiar, and he soon thought of it.

"Isn't this your move [Chen Chaosheng]?"

"Your heart rate exceeded 250 just for a moment. Is that the secret of the heart?"

As Pestilence Plague Exterminator, Fang Hui is very interested in Zhou Zhi who currently has mastered [Heart] Plague Extermination Art.

"Well, almost."

If that Disease Seed hadn't been born from a car, I'm afraid there would be no way to break [Hope]'s disease prevention device Plague Armor.

It's not much better than ordinary people, but using Plague Extermination Art like [Heart Slash] by yourself is obviously overkill.

However, this was intentional by Zhou Zhi.

He just wants to try the power he has now.

I have two systems now, one is the previous [Power of Pestilence]. After being promoted to the official level, the effect of Wolf Mark is actually not much enhanced compared to before. It is basically an enhancement of numerical values and the detonation scale based on the spiritual power capacity.

And the other set is now, [Heart].

Seriously, Plague Exterminator road.

[Zhou Zhi].

[Pathogenization Index: Nine point two percent].

[Source of disease: Black Death, erythema Lupus Pneumonia].

[Combat Level: Official-level Plague Exterminator].

[Epidemic elimination ability:].

[1.Mind's Eye (the only talent): It can sharpen Plague Exterminator's five senses. It can sense the breath and emotional changes of surrounding creatures to a certain extent. It can also be used to predict and avoid danger. It can actively use spiritual power to turn on Mind's Eye and predict all the trajectories of living creatures in the next two seconds].

[2. Heart rate increase: Heart Plague Exterminator core ability, Plague Exterminator can increase the heart rate extremely quickly in a short period of time, and obtain all attribute ability bonuses. As the battle lasts longer, the upper limit of the heart rate increase will be greater, but it will gradually become uncontrollable].

[3. Blood pumping organ: The heart attribute can form a good compatibility with various attributes Plague Extermination Art such as (blood) and nerves. When learning multi-attribute Plague Extermination Art, (self-restraint phenomenon) will not occur.]

[4. Heart support: Plague Exterminator's body has received support from core organs, its disease resistance and physiological defense have been greatly improved, and it has great adaptability to (surgical attack)].

[5. Spiritual power enhancement: Official-level Plague Exterminator condenses spiritual power and has a compelling momentum. It can use (spiritual pressure) to intimidate. The range and intensity of the effect depend on the spiritual power of Plague Exterminator].

[6.Bird-Beak Doctor Attire Adaptation: Bird Beak Doctor goes in the opposite direction. In the process of using Power of Pestilence, you can still use Plague-Slaying Blade].

[7. Hematopoietic organ: Blood Plague Exterminator can control the blood in the body to fight, and continuously form blood during the fight to achieve sustained combat capabilities, and has good compatibility with the (heart) system].

[In a very excellent state, you currently have two major attributes (heart) and (blood), and your physical fitness has been greatly improved. Those Pestilence are like paper in front of you. Now you, even if you face Di Qiuyan, you are still capable of fighting... Of course I am lying to you, you won't really believe it].

[(Mind's Eye) is your only secret skill, it is what Chen Chaosheng dreams of, develop it as much as possible].

Zhou Zhi always feels that this message has its own ideas, and some of the last comments are a bit like Fang Hui.

However, when I used Heart Slash just now, I felt good.

The infusion of spiritual power directly hits the heart, and the damage bonus to the heart is extremely high.

Zhou Zhi raised his hand slightly.

Another thing is that after being promoted to Official-level Plague Exterminator, his message, or something similar to the system, no longer shows the Plague Extermination Art he has mastered, but shows the power similar to [Characteristics].

[Heart rate increase] and [Blood pumping organ] are standard features of Heart Plague Exterminator. Through [Heart Meridian Unraveling], I have effectively entered the field of heart in a few days.

Another characteristic is [hematopoietic organ], which is the basic characteristic of blood Plague Exterminator. It circulates itself by strengthening its own bone marrow and other organs. It is said that among all types of Plague Exterminator, blood Plague Exterminator is the most difficult to die.

The reason why Zhou Zhi was able to obtain this characteristic is because he got Plague Extermination Art[Bloodletting Therapy] by looking directly at the leech-like monster in [Night City]. This Plague Extermination Art is not low-level, and even directly led Zhou Zhi into the path of blood.

The current template of Zhou Zhi is the former Chen Chaosheng, and the blood is an additional thing.

"Little... brother... you are really so strong."

After waiting for a while, Shen Wang dared to speak.

This is quite courageous. The middle-aged bald man and his wife no longer dare to speak, and their eyes are full of awe.

To them, Plague Exterminator is mysterious. It can easily kill the monster just now, which is completely considered powerful.

"Not bad."

Zhou Zhi put Black Kite into his own Black Box: "Actually, that thing is just a monster transformed from an ordinary person's disease. Ignore its appearance. In fact, you can also solve it."

After taking a look at the two halves of the corpse on the ground, Shen Wang's face shook like a rattle.

Who would want to fight a monster like this?

The door was pushed open.

Two Plague Exterminator wearing Plague Armor stepped forward.

"Well, it's pretty fast. From the time Pathogenization Incident happened to here, it took less than two minutes."

Fang Hui commented. "Fortunately, you acted quickly, otherwise you wouldn't even have a chance to take action."

The Plague Exterminator who arrived were two middle-aged men. They carried Plague-Slaying Blade around their waists, and their auras were lingering around them.

"Two official levels, judging from the aura, they are very experienced."

Fang Hui continue to evaluate.

"It has indeed been resolved. Just let the epidemic prevention personnel come and disinfect it."

The leading man glanced at the corpse on the ground. "What we just passed is a small disease site [Scarecrow Manor]. People like this will appear at the beginning of the journey who take the initiative to get out of the carriage, but there will be no more after that."

This Plague Exterminator said calmly.

In fact, choosing this path is also very critical.

The journey is boring, and few people can truly stay in the carriage for the entire journey.

If you feel comfortable too much, it will soon turn into boredom.

It is precisely because of this that the first stop the train chooses is [Scarecrow Manor] passing by here. Pestilence here is not a big threat, but its appearance is terrifying and weird, which can play an excellent deterrent effect.

As for death?

On such a long road, the probability of not encountering Strange Incident is small. Xuanyuan Steam Train Headquarters has a clear death quota.

Under normal circumstances, Disease Seed should be able to spread slightly.

In fact, the level of this Disease Seed is roughly equivalent to that of seven or eight adult men, and it will not cause any damage.

Didn't expect that.

It was solved in just a minute.

Without even needing to be reminded by the stewardess, the leading man just looked around and locked onto Zhou Zhi.

In the audience, only this young man who was too young was looking out the window calmly, as if he didn't care about everything in front of him.

"Sir, thank you for your hard work for the safety of the train."

The man walked straight up and stretched out his hand. "I am [Hope], the train group security team leader, Dong Qinghe."

Zhou Zhi looked at the man in front of him.

Wearing a uniform, he looked quite meticulous, very much like some of the leaders Past Life himself had seen.

"Zhou Zhi."

Zhou Zhi reaches out. In terms of courtesy, Zhou Zhi always does it very well.

Dong Qinghe's expression moved slightly.

I seem to have heard the name Zhou Zhi, but I am not impressed by it and it has nothing to do with me.

Just...

The young man in front of me, who was only about sixteen or seventeen years old, actually...

It's a Official-level Plague Exterminator.

Before, Dong Qinghe thought that the one who took action was a trainee-level Plague Exterminator. After all, it was possible for a few stronger ordinary people to kill the scarecrow alone if they risked their lives.

But now...

Such a young official level?

A little too much?

Dong Qinghe is a little confused.

When did you become Official-level Plague Exterminator?

He must be at least over twenty-two years old.

As he spoke, the spiritual power on Zhou Zhi dissipated, leaving only a faint flow of spiritual power.

Zhou Zhi doesn't want to waste too much time in the car pretending to be a pig and eating a tiger.

Directly display spiritual power to let the members of the train crew know that if it is something they can handle, they are not needed, and if a special Strange Incident appears, they can also help.

Dong Qinghe and Zhou Zhi shook hands and then let go.

"Epidemic prevention personnel will come to disinfect later, and the train crew will also perform comfort work on each carriage. Thank you for your help this time."

Zhou Zhi nodded. "It should be."

Dong Qinghe exchanged a few pleasantries and left with another Plague Exterminator.

Soon, the Apprentice Plague Exterminators from Epidemic Prevention Center came to wash the floor.

The business process of washing the floor can be said to be quite skillful. First, the body of Disease Seed was carried away in a special bag, and then cleaned and disinfected with disinfectant. The whole process did not take more than five minutes.

"As expected, they are all thieves."

Fang Hui looked at everything in front of him and said to Zhou Zhi.

Zhou Zhi certainly knows what Fang Hui means.

Being so proficient means that this kind of thing has happened many times.

The fact that ordinary people can open the passage between two carriages can explain one thing.

Rather than forcibly confining tourists, it is better to let them see with their own eyes how terrifying it is to become ill and feel it for real.

As long as there is a threat, no one will get out even if the carriage door is fully opened.

"Every regulation and every strategy has an outrageous past behind it."

Zhou Zhi said to Fang Hui, "Thirty days is too long. If I were the conductor of a steam train, I would also like my passengers to be calm. The best way to calm down is to see the horror with my own eyes. This is much more useful than me holding Plague-Slaying Blade and saying, 'If you don't listen to me, I will throw you out of the carriage.'"

Fang Hui glanced at Zhou Zhi: "So, you are also a thief."

"I don't think so, but you must evaluate me like this, and I won't deny it."

Zhou Zhi shook the book in his hand.

Today is World Mental Health Day

Patient Association, No. 6, No. 89, No. 11, I wish everyone a happy holiday here
