National Gardener: I can choose the evolution path of spiritual plants.

Chapter 219 Delivery
Then the world will be instantly infected and evolved into an advanced zombie virus, and there will be no way to save it.

The zombie virus that seems to earn infection points the fastest is actually not the best choice.

Compared with the zombie virus, the vampire virus is very hidden and relatively less harmful. The only side effects of this virus are fear of sunlight and the need to suck blood to survive. Apart from that, it will retain consciousness and possess extraordinary abilities.

However, this is Radiation Island. Wouldn’t it be aiding the enemy if we spread the vampire virus?
Let a group of devils gain extraordinary powers and become immortals?
How could such a good thing happen!

After repeated consideration and comparison, Lin Zhi felt that the only ideal option was the Demon Virus, which the system least recommended.

This virus requires a lot of effort to cultivate, which means it spreads slowly and has a weak ability to infect.

The slow spread and weak infection ability mean that it is extremely hidden.

Only by surviving in the early stages can the virus spread widely and successfully, and obtain enough infection points for the virus to evolve.

In addition, I am a novice and have never spread a virus and have no relevant experience.

Radiation Island can be used as a large experimental field to familiarize oneself with the various capabilities of the system, thereby accumulating experience for future virus transmission.

Of course, the most important thing is that the demon virus needs evil thoughts to accelerate its growth, and there is no more perfect breeding ground in the world than Radiation Island.

The people here speak nicely, and are polite and bow when they do something wrong. The Devil Virus loves this place!
……

Lin Zhi chose the demon virus without hesitation.

Suddenly, two of the three patterns on the panel in front of him disappeared, and the pattern belonging to the demon virus expanded rapidly, soon filling the entire screen.

Then, a new main page opens.

A gray sphere covered with thorns appeared in front of Lin Zhi, with a pair of horn-like nucleocapsids in the middle of the sphere.

Virus:Demon Virus
Evolution level: F
Enhancement level: lv1
Virus Effect: Emotional High (makes the infected person emotionally high and unable to control emotions easily.)
Virus Capabilities

Primary droplet transmission: The virus host will release the virus into the outside world when talking or sneezing. The virus exposed to the outside world can survive for 25 minutes in a non-toxic environment below 5°C and can float in the air to infect new hosts.

Primary camouflage: After the virus infects the host, it can disguise itself as normal bacteria, intercept nutrients in the human body, and has a 90% chance of being detected by the immune system.

Primary immune deception: After the virus infects the host, each virus monomer has a one in ten trillion chance of inducing the immune system to kill normal cells and disguise them as replacements.

Primary adaptation: When the virus infects different hosts, is harmed by common drugs, is affected by the environment, or is attacked by the immune system, it will undergo extremely weak adaptive growth to compensate for its shortcomings.

Infection Enhancement: lv1 (0/100)

Resistance Enhancement: lv1 (0/100)

Spread Enhancement: lv1 (0/100)

Adaptation Enhancement: lv1 (0/100)

……

Soon, the taxi took Lin Zhi to the vicinity of Guishe.

The Ghost Shrine was under heavy guard at this time, and it was the time for the Prime Minister of Radiation Island to pay homage to the Ghost Shrine.

【Do you want to launch it immediately? 】

"Yes!"

【Please select the delivery location】

A map appeared in front of Lin Zhi, and he opened it in an instant.

The available locations on the map are any location within a 1 km radius of yourself.

Lin Zhi stared at the Ghost Society on the map, and suddenly a glass bottle with a skull painted on it appeared above the map.

[After the virus stock solution is released, it will infect humans within a 1-square-meter area at most, and will dissipate after 6 hours or become inactive due to high temperatures, disinfectants, etc. The virus will parasitize and reproduce in the body of the infected person, and spread through the blood and droplets of the infected person. ]

Lin Zhi no longer hesitated. After confirming the location of Prime Minister "Kosha Hosushiro", he immediately selected the glass bottle containing the virus concentrate and moved it to the location of the ghost society on the map.

……

At the same time, in a hidden corner of the ghost society, a glass bottle suddenly appeared from thin air and fell to the ground with a snap.

The glass bottle exploded, and the virus liquid evaporated instantly when it came into contact with the air, turning into a transparent gas and spreading rapidly.

No one noticed all this and were enveloped by the thick transparent virus gas, instantly inhaling a large amount of the virus gas.

Immediately afterwards, the virus gas spread, and all humans within the surrounding 100 square meters were infected with the virus.

At this time, Lin Zhi received a new prompt.

【The virus stock solution has been released】

【Number of people infected: 723】

[Get infection point 723]

……

[Main mission starts]

[Main quest (novice quest): Evolve the demon virus to B within one year. (Mission failure: All humans will be wiped out)]

【Reward: The specific quality is determined based on the points.】

[Side Mission 1000: Before the virus is cured, the number of people infected on Radiation Island reaches million.]

[Reward: 1 point/time]

[Side Quest 2: Strengthen the virus by one level.]

[Reward: 2 point/time]

[Side Mission 3: Make the virus mutate completely]

[Reward: 0.1 point/time]

[Side Mission 4: Make the mutated virus mutate again]

[Reward: 5 point/time]

[Side Mission 5: Make the virus that has undergone secondary mutation mutate three times]

[Reward: 50 point/time]

"Main quest?"

Lin Zhi quickly clicked on the gray thorn ball on the panel in front of him that symbolized the "devil virus."

The information about the gray thorn ball suddenly appeared before his eyes.

Virus:Demon Virus
Evolution level: F
Enhancement level: lv1
Virus Effect: Emotional High (makes the infected person emotionally high and unable to control emotions easily.)
……

Infection Enhancement: lv1 (0/100)

Resistance Enhancement: lv1 (0/100)

After reading the virus information, Lin Zhi looked at the data displayed on the right interface.

Host: Lin Zhi
Person: Ordinary Life

Virus: Devil Virus (F)

Infection point:723
Points:0
"The 723 infection point is just right for strengthening the virus."

Lin Zhi quickly moved his gaze back to the attribute panel on the left, and then clicked on the four enhancement options at the bottom one by one.

When all four enhancement options were upgraded to the next level, the panel refreshed instantly, and the information about the demon virus was updated.

Virus:Demon Virus
Evolution level: F
Enhancement level: lv2
Virus Effect: Emotional High (makes the infected person emotionally high and unable to control emotions easily.)

"After being strengthened by one level, the ability of the virus has not changed dramatically. It seems that there is still a long way to go to cultivate the virus." Lin Zhi pondered in his mind, left the dog club, and walked towards a real estate agency that he had searched online in advance.

He will be living on Radiation Island for a long time in the future, so he needs to settle down first.

Lin Zhi's plan included releasing the virus, finding a place to stay, and stockpiling daily necessities.

With the initial 1 million yuan of funds provided by the system, the following two plans can be easily achieved.

In fact, Lin Zhi already had his choice when he was browsing properties online.

He followed the instructions on the map and came to the real estate agency, where he was immediately greeted by a short, fat-faced man in a suit with a big smile on his face.

"ようこそいらっしゃいませ."

Lin Zhi was confused by the fluent ghost language, but he remained calm and said lightly, "I want to buy a property."

"ちょっと出って."

The short man in a suit restrained his smile a little and left quickly.

Soon, a middle-aged man walked out of the office inside the house.

"Hello sir, how can I help you?" asked the middle-aged man.

"I want to buy a property. Can you take me to see this villa?"

Lin Zhi took out his cell phone and clicked on the pictures of the properties listed for sale online by the real estate agency.

"Sir, are you sure?"

The middle-aged man was surprised. There were Chinese people who came to Radiation Island to buy real estate, but he had never seen anyone who wanted to buy a villa worth 50 million Chinese Yuan all at once.

"I need to see it in person. If it is the same as what you introduced online, I will definitely place an order. The deposit has been transferred to your company."

Lin Zhidao.

The middle-aged man said a few words to the short man, and after confirming that he had received the 10,000 Tianchao currency deposit, the short man nodded.

"Sir, please come with me."

……

Radiation Island, outside of Tokyo.

A three-story villa is located in a garden covering an area of ​​nearly 800 square meters.

Lin Zhi drove his newly purchased vehicle towards the basement, followed by dozens of heavy trucks.

"Okay, put your stuff in the basement and you can leave."

Lin Zhi ordered.

Three days ago, he spent 5 million to buy this suburban villa with a yard, and then through the introduction of a friend he met in China through money, he obtained a channel for wholesale daily necessities.

These dozen or so trucks are filled with rice, flour, oil, wine, various seasonings, paper towels, mineral water, dehydrated vegetables, dried fruits, bacon, canned meat, dried fruits and other easy-to-preserve materials that are sold through wholesale channels.

……

After solving the problems of food and accommodation, Lin Zhi activated the virus transmission system.

"System, erase all traces I left in the past three days."

[Consume three days to clear space-time traces × 1 (free)]

[Your traces of time and space have been cleared. All traces you left during these three days will not be remembered by people or recorded by images. The traces of inconvenience you caused will be removed by the world itself.]

……

At night, Lin Zhi lay on the bed on the second floor of the villa, staring at the system panel in front of him.

Host: Lin Zhi
Person: Ordinary Life

Virus: Devil Virus (F)

Infection point:6791
Points:0
Virus:Demon Virus
Evolution level: F
Enhancement level: lv3
Virus Effect: Emotional High (makes the infected person emotionally high and unable to control emotions easily.)
Virus Capabilities

Advanced droplet transmission: The virus host can release the virus into the outside world when talking or sneezing. The virus exposed to the outside world can survive for 35 minutes in a non-toxic environment below 20°C and can float in the air to infect new hosts.

Advanced camouflage: After infecting the host, the virus can disguise itself as normal bacteria to further intercept nutrients in the human body, with a 70% chance of being detected by the immune system.

Advanced immune deception: After the virus infects the host, each virus monomer has a one in a hundred billion chance of inducing the immune system to kill normal cells and disguise them as replacements.

Advanced adaptation: When the virus infects different hosts, is harmed by common drugs, is affected by the environment, or is attacked by the immune system, it will undergo tiny adaptive growth to compensate for its shortcomings.

Infection Enhancement: lv3 (0/10000)

Resistance Enhancement: lv3 (0/10000)

Spread Enhancement: lv3 (0/10000)

Adaptation Enhancement: lv3 (0/10000)

Seeing the information on the panel, Lin Zhi couldn't help but sigh. After three days of spreading, the virus had infected more than 1 people.

The main reason why it is so slow is that the virus is too weak. Not only does it reproduce slowly in the human body, it is also easily eliminated by the immune system.

In addition, the speed at which the demon virus reproduces is related to the evil thoughts in the host's mind.

The stronger the evil thoughts, the faster they multiply.

In addition, due to its single transmission route, it is not easy for the virus to survive in the outside world. Even though the enhancement level has reached level 3, it only infected more than people in three days.

If we want to continue to strengthen the virus's capabilities at this point, the number of infection points required would already be in the tens of thousands.

Lin Zhi closed the system panel, took out his mobile phone, and logged into the major news websites on Radiation Island.

There are special web translation software on mobile phones, so you don’t have to worry about not being able to understand the foreign language.

As an ordinary person, Lin Zhi wants to understand the outside world situation more quickly, so daily news browsing is essential.

Soon, he found some news that was different from the others.

"The Prime Minister has a bad temper and even smashed a teacup in public, probably because of family problems"

"Shocked, law enforcement officers beat up a 60-year-old woman..."

"Recently, there have been frequent fevers, and there may be a new type of influenza..."

……

Lin Zhi browsed through the news one by one and found that although the demon virus had not yet been discovered, it was not far from being discovered.

After the demon virus infects the human body, it will intercept nutrients from the human body. As time goes by, the demon virus increases in the body and more nutrients are intercepted.

This will cause the body to gradually become weak, and in order to make up for the nutrition, the appetite will increase greatly.

Then the viruses intercept more nutrients and reproduce more viruses.

When there are a lot of viruses, many of them will be recognized by the human immune system, thereby activating the immune system and starting to kill the viruses.

One of the human body's major weapons for killing viruses is to increase body temperature.

As the body temperature rises, some heat-sensitive viruses will be killed.

But at this time, the heat resistance of the level 3 virus in the outside world has increased to 35 degrees, and it can even withstand a temperature of 50 degrees in the body.

Therefore, body temperature cannot kill the virus but can only continue to rise.

When a person has a fever, he or she is sent to the hospital.

Initially it was treated as a common cold.

Because the virus is so weak, medicines used to treat the common cold can also cause damage to the demon virus.

But cold medicine is not a panacea for the evil virus after all.

Most of the viruses are killed, but a few survive.

As the virus survives, it develops drug resistance and becomes more powerful.

At this point, common cold medicines are no longer effective in killing the virus.

So, the demon virus was treated like the flu virus.

Lin Zhi understood that people would soon realize that this was not an ordinary flu virus. As long as they took a sample and looked at it under a microscope, they would be able to immediately discover the true form of the demon virus.

At that time, we will be able to develop specific medicines and vaccines based on the virus.
