above the disease

Chapter 98 Cynical Parasite ([-])
World calendar, April [-]th.

Weekly execution takes place at night.

After going through the previous situation, Zhou Zhi determined that Yan Qiu really didn't know how to eliminate the epidemic.

If he could maintain restraint in the situation just now, then there is a possibility that Yan Qiu is much stronger than himself.

No matter what the truth is, at least for now, Zhou Zhi does not want Yan Qiu to follow him.

The [roundworms] in the village are not very powerful, and all they need to deal with them is a plague-killing knife.

However, the truth behind it is different.

It must be possible to involve a pathogenic event at the [pathogen] level.

Zhou Zhi's measures against the epidemic were not always used openly.

Zhu Changyu also seemed to have high hopes for himself.

"The Chen family really wants Chen Chaosheng to return and attend Jin Pingyang's dinner."

"The same is true for Zhu Changyu... This means that Jin Pingyang's dinner is not just an ordinary promotion celebration dinner, but more likely an opportunity of some kind."

The sound of cicadas chirping came from the suburbs.

Zhou Zhi's slender body stood on the ground.

Calmly looking at the stairs of the underground waterway in the distance.

"No...there are many people involved in Jin Pingyang's dinner this time, but only those who have received invitations can enter the infield."

"If you think about it this way, the dinner party is not an opportunity, but an [infield]."

As one of the top ten trainee epidemic exterminators in Qamdo, the gap between Zhou Zhi and the infield is an invitation letter.

Zhou Zhi judged quickly.

About 1 minutes passed.

Zhou Zhi put on a mask.

I sorted out my epidemic attire.

Putting on the dark gloves, he took out the plague-killing knife [White Jade] from the knife case and put it on his waist.

……

Changdu has a population of 3000 million.

This means that a large amount of drainage facilities are needed.

Especially in order to prevent diseases such as cholera, the underground water conservancy facilities throughout Xuanyuan appear to be extremely organized.

There are thousands of underground reservoirs throughout Changdu, making it look like an underground world.

The current is fast.

A strange black color.

A strange smell poured into Zhou Zhi's nose.

Zhou Zhi could still smell it clearly through the mask.

There were rodent noises, at the end of the waterway.

But the sound of running water quickly obscured the sound.

In the corner of the waterway is something that looks like feces.

Messages flow.

[vomiting mucus].

[Human feces].

[Someone vomits here, someone gets infected here].

Zhou Zhi frowned.

On the surface, the luxurious and modern Qamdo is like this underground... Although there are traces of cleaning, it seems that no one cleaned it after Zhang Lang's death...

In just a few days, it has turned into this appearance, indicating that many people must have entered here.

Only people from the Water Affairs Department have the key to the entrance to the underground sewer, especially the one close to the exit. Of course, if the manhole cover is forced open, it will be another matter.

The sound of water drops falling is accompanied by the flow of water.

Crash.

[Infected environment].

[Long-term exposure to this environment may lead to disease progression].

In the dark waterway, Zhou Zhi didn't turn on the light and just walked like this.

About half an hour passed.

Beyond the animal carcasses there are all kinds of feces and food scraps.

Zhou Zhi stopped.

On the right side of the waterway, in front of the road Zhou Zhi took, there was a small house.

The small room was dimly lit with dim lights, and on the outside were four big characters [Qamdo Water Affairs].

There is no need to guess at the nature of this place.

Zhou Zhi walked forward slowly.

No sound was made.

There was a shadow of a man in the house.

It seems to be eating something.

There was a chewing sound.

It's like wild beasts eating a pile of rotten meat.

The stench surged, accompanied by the sound of some kind of insect crawling.

Then, an exaggeratedly thick insect shadow emerged from the man's body.

Shadows reflected on the windows.

Finally, the man's slow and small moans came from inside.Zhou Zhi said nothing.

He didn't even need to read the message, he already knew that the 'people' in the house had been infected by parasites.

Before taking over the parasite incident, Zhou Zhi learned a little about parasitic diseases from the epidemic prevention center.

Very different from the previous life.

A parasite that can break out of the body is already in the adult stage. The host has been completely deprived of nutrients. If the parasite is still in the body, it is a walking corpse. If it leaves, it is just a pile of rotten flesh.

jingle.

The insect body is crawling on the ground.

Like furry worms, they are scratching human skin and kissing human flesh with their weird mouthparts.

Zhou Zhi raised his head and looked at Chong Ying.

Sure enough, the underground waterways in Wansha District have indeed been taken over by parasites.

And it's so huge... Roundworms are the largest parasites in the human intestines. I'll be honest with you Zhou Zhi.

【Big roundworm】.

[Disease level: advanced disease].

【…】

Messages flow.

The roundworm that parasitized Zhang Lang's family in the village is called [Fragmented Roundworm], and now it seems that the advanced body has been found.

Gollum.

Gollum.

Zhou Zhi did not take action, but hid in the dark.
"[Ascaris God] bless you."

"[Ascaris God] bless you."

Coming along the waterway, there were actually people in twos and threes.

They were sitting on a small wooden boat. Zhou Zhi was surprised that such a current could actually sail a boat.

"The roundworm god comes to absorb the pain of illness and seek happiness and well-being."

Here, the disease index rises.

And, in Zhou Zhi's field of vision.

The disease index of everyone in front of me fluctuates around forty.

Especially their eyes, there seemed to be insect shadows twisting and flickering in their eyes.

"Can roundworms also form a cult?"

Zhou Zhi held a strange roundworm token in his hand.

Countless white insect bodies are twisted together, and in the middle is a [smiley face] connected by two roundworm bodies.

Forget about worshiping [The Way of Immortality].

How come there are still people who worship roundworms?

Don’t people in this world have basic common sense about epidemic prevention?

Zhou Zhi's heart moved.

above.

A tiny roundworm poked its head out.

The moment he saw Zhou Zhi in the shadow.

Everyone, including Big Worm, headed towards Zhou Zhi's area.

"Tsk."

Zhou Zhi sighed.

exactly.

At his waist, a message came from the communicator that had been muted in advance.

Zhou Zhi opened it calmly.

"I'm going to school tomorrow..."

"Well, then, I should be able to watch another episode of the TV series tonight."

Yan Qiu's voice came from the communicator.

"Have you not caught up on the latest episode of [Ambition to End the Epidemic]?"

Zhou Zhi said.

Yan Qiu's voice was very nice, and Zhou Zhi could almost imagine what Yan Qiu looked like now: "It's a preview, a bonus... Most of them are clips that have been in the past, but there are also new clips that have never been broadcast."

"Ah."

Zhou Zhi nodded.

Silence for a while.

"It's alright."

Yan Qiu asked seriously.

"Fortunately."

Zhou Zhi replied.

The plague-killing knife was not used.

The power of disease surges to make people anxious.

There was a vague feeling of stagnation in the lungs.

Weird [Wolf Patterns] appeared in Zhou Zhi's hands.

"Deworming."
