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

Chapter 228: Borrowing Vaccines
This made Lin Zhi speechless at the time, and he thought to himself, could it be that it was formed by some middle school boys?
After cooling down the vaccination rate, Linzhi is ready to go a step further.

That is to prepare the concentrated virus liquid, and then have the bewitched people in the vaccine transport team distribute it in various regions.

As long as people are infected first, the vaccine is useless!

Nowadays, there are too many grassroots personnel bewitched by succubus, and the grassroots of the cabinet have been infiltrated like a sieve.

As long as it is not murder, arson, or serious violation of laws and regulations, those who are mentally weak and severely bewitched will do it.

The spread of the virus was very covert and there was no psychological pressure, so soon in the next few days, the virus broke out again in densely populated areas of major cities.

There is no way, the virus is really difficult to prevent.

Even if there is no human transmission, it is still difficult to prevent, not to mention that there are many people who spread the virus in secret.

Once the three-day incubation period of the virus was over, millions of people were infected in an instant.

Although the situation was immediately brought under control by the Cabinet and surrounding cities began strict home quarantine again, new cases of infection continued to be discovered.

After nearly three months of fighting the virus, the Cabinet is finally showing signs of fatigue.

On the 90th day after the virus was released, more than 10 million people on Honshu Island were infected, and billion infection points had accumulated.

Lin Zhi got up early and prepared to strengthen the virus. He had a hunch that this virus strengthening would be the last straw that broke the camel's back.

Lin Zhi opened the virus panel and chose to enhance the transmission capability.

He had never thought that his ability to spread would continue to increase, but he thought that the virus's ability to adapt and mutate was incredible.

In fact, this is indeed the case. If the virus had not been able to adapt and mutate continuously in the early stages of transmission, it would not have the slight advantage it has today.

However, at present, the most useful ability for Lin Zhi is the ability of bewitchment.

Only by firmly grasping the 91st Church and the big stage of Radiation Island can he have a chance to get off the stage.

As billions of infection points were consumed, the virus information suddenly changed.

Virus:Demon Virus
Evolution level: D
Enhancement level: lv9
Virus Effect: Demonization (After being infected with the virus, there is a chance that you will gain demonic abilities and become a demon.)
Virus Capabilities

Final transmission: The virus acquires the ability to infect all vertebrates, can be transmitted through droplets, and can survive in the external environment for 3 days.

Advanced Bewitching: The mutant demon gains the ability to bewitch others. The bewitcher can use the mutant virus to control the infected person who is one level or five levels lower than himself.

……

Infection Enhancement: lv9 (0/100 billion)
Resistance Enhancement: lv8 (0/10 million)
Communication Enhancement: lv8 (0/10 million)
Adaptive Enhancement: lv8 (0/10 million)
Lin Zhi closed the system panel with satisfaction, and continued to practice with the succubus sisters. Until now, they have reached the upper first level.

The current virus level is D, which theoretically can only make the demon grow to the middle ninth level.

But the succubus sisters broke through the middle ninth level and became the upper first level.

However, when they become upper-level demons, their growth rate has slowed down a lot. When they practiced with the succubus sisters in the past, their growth rate could be described as rapid, increasing day by day and changing with each passing day.

It’s no longer possible now. If you want to upgrade, you can only sigh that there is still a long way to go.

However, Lin Zhi discovered another function of his physique, which is that it can enable people to break through the limitations of the virus's own evolutionary level and reach a level that no one else can currently break through.

The upper first level and the middle ninth level may seem to be one level apart, but in reality they are actually one rank apart.

Due to the suppression of their status, the succubus sisters can easily bewitch a ninth-order demon.

Lin Zhi saw that a bold idea suddenly arose in his mind, that is, to use the succubus's ability to charm and control the entire cabinet, the emperor, the leaders of the Church of the God of Fire and other organizations.

If the entire radiation island is under control in one's own hands, wouldn't it be possible to cultivate the virus however one wants?

Lin Zhi called the succubus sisters and told them his thoughts.

"This is impossible. They have strong wills and cannot be bewitched at all." said the succubus sister Chenxi.

"Yes, brother, the ability to charm is different from the ability to bewitch. It does not forcefully control a person's mind.

Instead, it is done through temptation, inducement, guidance, hallucinations, and even physical factors.

The weaker a person's will is, the easier it is to be charmed. Once the ability to charm is planted in a person's heart, the charm can be continuously strengthened, and finally the other person can be corrupted and turned into a puppet imperceptibly.

On the contrary, if a person is determined, then charm will not be effective.

The cabinet ministers who hold great power in the Cabinet, the emperor in the Imperial Palace, and the leaders of various major forces would not be able to sit in those positions and achieve such success if they did not have a firm will.

So brother, this is not going to work.”

My younger sister Chaolu explained.

"Sure enough, the charm ability is strong, but not outrageous. It is not like bewitching, which can control people unlimitedly as long as the conditions are met."

Lin Zhi nodded to show that he understood, and ordered the succubus sisters to continue infiltrating various forces. Even if they couldn't charm the determined people in power, it would be equally useful to charm the veteran cadres at the grassroots level.

For the next few hours, Lin Zhi and the succubus sisters performed a daily practice.

After the training, Lin Zhi, who was in sage mode, opened his phone and checked the news.

Several headlines caught his attention.

"Brother, what's wrong?"

Seeing Lin Zhi's expression change, the succubus sisters asked.

“The Cabinet has announced five governing guidelines.”

Lin Zhi said, "Currently, only Honshu Island is left in the hands of the Cabinet of the four islands that have been irradiated. As many as tens of millions of people have been infected, and the Cabinet's rule is already shaky."

"So, they enacted new policy reforms?" Chenxi asked.

“Yes, look at these five policies.”

Lin Zhi pointed at the content on his phone and said with a smile, "As expected of the Prime Minister, he has so many talented think tank members under him. Once these five strategies were released, the unrest on Radiation Island was instantly eliminated, and the order on Honshu Island was completely stabilized."

The succubus sisters looked over quickly and saw five guidelines and related content listed in the news.

The general content is:
First, Juro Inaka cultivated a bacterium that could produce a large amount of emotional substances, and then successfully stole the ability of this bacterium by guiding it to cause the madness virus.

What’s even more amazing is that the emotional substances produced by this virus are produced according to changes in the human body’s mood.

Anger produces substances related to anger.

Sadness produces substances related to sadness.

This virus is different from previous ones.

The original rabies virus, after parasitizing the human body, will not produce emotional substances, but it can cause the human body to lose control of emotions, and then the human body produces emotional substances because of the loss of emotional control.

This is to encourage others to produce for your own consumption.

The viruses that have been cultivated now, after parasitizing the human body, not only stimulate the body to produce emotional substances, but can also produce emotional substances themselves.

This is self-produced and self-sold.

The emergence of the new virus has solved the problem that the virus causes people to lose control of their emotions.

As the virus cannot be eradicated and the infection cannot be prevented, the Cabinet announced that it will try to vaccinate everyone.

However, for areas with medium and high risk of virus transmission, measures such as using helicopters to spray the new virus are implemented.

As long as the virus in the body of the infected person is replaced by a new virus, the emotional out-of-control caused by the virus can be avoided.

At this point, although the Cabinet has not eliminated the virus, it can be considered a victory.

All the beneficial effects of the virus have been achieved, and the only risk of losing control of emotions has disappeared. It no longer matters whether you are infected or not.

Of course, the premise is that the rabies virus does not continue to mutate in an extreme direction. For example, if it mutates into a lethal ability, it can kill everyone in a matter of minutes.

For those who have been vaccinated, the new virus cannot be used to stabilize emotions because the virus in their bodies is not active and cannot produce emotional substances.

The cabinet also has a solution, which is to take emotional bacteria tablets and achieve the purpose of stabilizing emotions by ingesting emotional bacteria into the human body.

Once the virus problem is solved, people won't have to worry about losing control of their emotions, and the unrest on Radiation Island will naturally subside.

The second policy is that the Cabinet announced an expansion of the military. Anyone between the ages of 18 and 25 can join the army. The Cabinet plans to expand the size of the army to one million troops.

The third is to streamline power institutions. The current power structure of the Cabinet is too bloated. We are preparing to merge power, concentrate duties, eliminate parasites and corrupt elements, purge the diehards, and reorganize a streamlined new Cabinet.

The fourth is to establish the Extraordinary Affairs Bureau and set up branches and detachments in major cities on Honshu Island.

Only elite demons with clean backgrounds can enter the Extraordinary Practical Bureau, and they are usually selected from police superintendents, police academies, and retired veterans.

They are responsible for maintaining order in the area and dealing with evil criminals who break the law.

The fifth is the Demon Pet Competition.

The fifth item really made Lin Zhi stunned for a moment. After reading it, he finally understood what was going on.

This is a law discovered by a sociologist.

It turns out that the gene for fear of humans is already deeply rooted in animals' bodies.

Especially mice, poultry, livestock, cats and dogs, etc.

After being infected and becoming demons, they may not be afraid of ordinary humans, but when facing humans who are also infected with the demon virus, they will still be naturally afraid.

If you feed them from a young age, you can tame them and make them your pet companions.

The relationship between demonic humans and demonic animals is actually the same as the relationship between ordinary people and their pet cats and dogs.

In order to prevent the islanders from having nowhere to relieve their boredom after gaining power, the Cabinet announced the establishment of a demon pet competition.

There are daily competitions, weekly competitions, monthly competitions, and annual competitions, as well as beginner, intermediate, and advanced competitions.

Through the Demon Pet Contest, you can win bonuses, fame, real estate, vehicles, etc.

The five policies, starting from the harm of the virus itself, the military, politics, social management, and public psychology, instantly prevented the impending collapse of order.

Lin Zhi knew that the cabinet had actually been able to take out the emotional bacteria long ago.

It’s just that the previous rulers of the Cabinet envisioned universal immunity, and then made money from emotional substances and manipulated the residents.

That's even more profitable than cocaine.

In a country dominated by capitalism, while ensuring order and stability, it does not focus on the people but on interests.

The reason why we release emotional bacteria now is that we are forced to do so.

If drastic measures are not taken, within a few days, the entire island of Honshu will be infected by the virus, and then unrest will break out and order will be destroyed.

At that time, we can only use fighter jets and missiles to wipe out the enemy.

After reading these policies, Lin Zhi understood that everyone on the radiation island who was infected was doomed.

The next step is to maintain temporary peace, allowing these infected people to continue to grow and provide continuous infection points for themselves.

Once most people grow into mid-level demons, they can stir up unrest and harvest infected points.

Killing a mid-level ninth-level demon can provide 1 infection points.

Killing a first-level upper demon can provide 2 infection points.

Killing a ninth-level upper demon can provide 10 infection points.

As long as 10 million people grow into upper demons, trillion infection points will be obtained.

As for why to provoke unrest?

Because only turmoil, the stimulation of life and death, and the strong evil thoughts brought about by the seven emotions and six desires can accelerate the growth of the devil.

The biggest reason why the succubus sisters were able to grow to the upper first level in a very short period of time was that the succubus virus mutated from their bodies with a 100% compatibility, coupled with the day and night hard practice of Lin Zhi, who had a special physique.

With a good physique and hard work, it is not surprising that he can grow into a high-level demon.

Ordinary demons are no match for them. Currently, most of the demons are below the fifth level.

A small number of demons are able to strengthen themselves to the lower fifth level or above.

Only a very small number of people with great ambitions, firm beliefs, strong emotions, and strong physiques can reach the level of mid-level demons.

As for the middle ninth level?

Lin Zhi estimated that perhaps only the leaders of organizations such as the Church of Vulcan, the Trolls, and the Church of the Abyss could barely achieve it.

If we follow this step-by-step approach, the demon will grow too slowly.

There are only 9 months left until the deadline for the main mission. It is hard to say whether 1 million people can be strengthened into mid-level demons by then.

Therefore, it is necessary to create chaos, stir up trouble, and accelerate the growth of the devil.

If the Radiation Island could be returned to the Warring States Period, it would become a breeding ground for the accelerated growth of demons.

But at the same time, we cannot stir up trouble too early.

It would be bad if we started trouble too early and a large number of low-level infected people died.

The best time for them to die is after they grow into mid-level demons.

At the same time, people should at least have reverence for life.

If the virus does not complete its evolution, the system will wipe out all of humanity, so in order to save all of humanity, Lin Zhi can only choose to limit the spread of the virus to the Radiation Island.

In this way, the risk is transferred to the Radiation Island, and the harm of the virus will be relatively smaller.

Although the ancestors of Radiation Island committed many evil deeds, not all current residents are descendants of evildoers, and not all of them are bad guys.

There are still innocent people.

Lin Zhi thought it would be great if he could save more innocent islanders while completing the mission.

Therefore, we need to strike a balance.

First let the infected people become familiar with their own abilities and increase their means of self-protection.

Ambitious people will definitely stand out and throw themselves into the tide of the times, while innocent people who abide by the law will still live peacefully at the bottom of society.

The demon's growth rate and upper limit are linked to the demon in your heart.

After a period of time, the two types of people will be clearly distinguished. At that time, we will eliminate those with high status and will not kill innocent people indiscriminately.

……

On the 95th day after the virus was released, the situation on Radiation Island was completely stabilized.

Lin Zhi sorted out the situation as usual.

Nearly 5 million people have been vaccinated to build up their immune systems.

1.2 million people were infected.
