Wu Qifan had come to Suhui and gathered everyone together—there were only so many possible reasons for that.
With a little inquiry, Zhou Zhi learned what this young master of the Wu family was doing.

Meanwhile, the two Official-level Plague Exterminators under his command could focus on suppressing Pathogen-level Strange Incidents.
