Infinite Job Transfers Starting from Mechanic Chapter 1260 - 712: Resolving Mutation

Having survived a previous logical collapse, Su Yu understood the paramount importance of logic within this narrative. A story devoid of logic would crumble, triggering a catastrophic event.

Now, the entire city had descended into a mutated apocalypse, an abrupt transformation, yet Su Yu recognized a hidden cause. His immediate objective: uncover and rectify this underlying reason.

This implied that the unseen manipulator would be compelled to orchestrate further calamities to eliminate Su Yu.

However, the continuous introduction of new disasters necessitated fresh justifications and logical frameworks. This presented a complex challenge for the antagonist and an opportunity for Su Yu to reclaim his strength.

During the recent pursuit, Su Yu had managed to recover some of his power. While still frail, not significantly stronger than an ordinary human, his restored capabilities were sufficient within the digital realm.

Previously limited to influencing a shared bicycle, Su Yu's data manipulation power now extended to the city's entire network, providing the means to unearth the truth behind the unfolding disaster.

As Su Yu unleashed his abilities, a deluge of data flooded in from the network. His compromised processing power made swift analysis arduous.

Fortunately, Su Yu's computational strength had partially returned, surpassing that of a typical individual. With a measure of time, he could decipher the incoming information.

Swiftly, Su Yu located the crucial details.

"A laboratory virus leak, as expected..."

Upon reading an online news report, Su Yu confirmed his suspicions.

The city's mutation epidemic originated from a viral outbreak, a direct consequence of a lab leak.

As the sole individual unaffected by the mutation, Su Yu naturally became the primary target for the transformed monstrosities.

This was the narrative crafted for Su Yu by the enigmatic entity pulling the strings.

It was likely impossible for the narrative to directly infect Su Yu and bring about his demise.

The 'audience reader' characteristic assigned to Su Yu was probably still active, significantly impeding the story's ability to directly affect him.

The unseen force likely exploited the narrative elements previously established by Su Yu himself to ensnare him in this situation.

Yet, to engineer Su Yu's death through viral infection directly was, for the moment, unfeasible. It required the narrative's inherent power.

As events progressed, if the virus were to continually mutate and intensify, there might come a point where even Su Yu could succumb to infection, placing him in grave peril.

"Considering this, the next logical step would likely be the deployment of a nuclear bomb to eradicate the city..."

A realization dawned upon Su Yu as he anticipated the orchestrator's grand design.

With the entire city compromised by the virus and its inhabitants mutated, neutralizing the threat with an apocalyptic weapon to level the city would be a strategically sound decision to prevent further contagion.

Given its rationality, the entity behind the scenes would undoubtedly script such an event. In his current weakened state, Su Yu stood no chance against a nuclear detonation.

"Relentless aggression, no matter who you are, once I regain my full strength, I will mercilessly write your demise into existence..."

Su Yu silently vowed retribution, then set his course towards the virus laboratory.

Before the arrival of the nuclear strike, he absolutely had to decipher the virus and synthesize an antidote. This, according to the narrative's logic, should preclude the nuclear option.

However, complete certainty remained elusive. The narrative logic might still dictate that if authorities lacked confidence, they could resort to devastating weapons to cleanse the city.

Fortunately, the laboratory boasted formidable defenses, including nuclear-resistant structures, ensuring Su Yu's survival even in the event of a nuclear strike.

Before long, cycling diligently, Su Yu reached the imposing structure.

Inside this building lurked a multitude of monstrous entities, appearing far more formidable than those encountered previously on the streets.

These creatures had shed all semblance of their human forms, now sporting grotesque tentacles, jagged bone protrusions, razor-sharp teeth, and menacing claws, presenting a truly terrifying visage.

To access the laboratory and retrieve a sample of the virus, he would need to overcome these formidable guardians.

"After all, this is the epicenter of the viral outbreak; quite logical indeed..."

Su Yu mused internally before pedaling his bicycle and charging directly into the fray.

Simultaneously, he brandished a sizable blade, carving a path through the monstrous horde, an unstoppable force.

Su Yu had by now regained a degree of combat proficiency. With crackling electrical energy emanating from his weapon, he sliced through the mutated creatures as if they were mere vegetables, severing tentacles and limbs with swift, decisive swings.

Despite the inherent danger and the knowledge that a single misstep or touch from these monsters would mean his end, he fought without fear, handling the situation with remarkable ease.

Su Yu hadn't engaged in such rudimentary combat for a considerable duration. His extensive combat experience ensured that, despite the perilous appearance, the encounters were devoid of genuine risk, rendering mistakes virtually impossible.

He sped all the way to the deepest part of the laboratory, abandoned the bicycle, and securely locked the door. Subsequently, he retrieved the virus sample and commenced its examination under a microscope.

In barely ten minutes.

"Finished!"

Su Yu managed to develop the virus vaccine in a mere ten minutes. Armed with his extensive knowledge, this virus posed no challenge. If not for his diminished computational power, it would have taken less than a second; he would have finalized it the instant he observed the molecular structure.

"The next step is to disseminate the vaccine throughout the city..."

The vaccine created by Su Yu was not administered via injection but was designed for convenient aerial dispersal.

Initially, he utilized the laboratory's apparatus to prepare a quantity of the vaccine. Afterward, he proceeded outside to spray the remaining monstrous entities.

Su Yu had not annihilated these monsters directly. Instead, he had severed their mutated appendages and preserved them for future use, which proved beneficial at this moment.

Upon being treated with the vaccine, those monstrous beings rapidly regained consciousness, and their physical mutations even began to reverse at an accelerated pace.

Witnessing this, Su Yu conveyed his approval with a nod. The virus had incorporated certain Spiritual Technology principles, and similarly, the vaccine did too. Consequently, its efficacy was remarkably swift.

Once a significant portion of the afflicted individuals had recuperated and were expressing their gratitude towards Su Yu, he passed on the vaccine manufacturing techniques to them, enabling them to produce and distribute it city-wide.

Without any unforeseen complications, the entire city would soon achieve normalcy. This calamitous event had been successfully overcome.

Meanwhile, Su Yu remained within the laboratory, evading any potential retaliatory strike from Destruction while simultaneously focusing on the restoration of his strength.

The virus studied within the laboratory had employed elements of Spiritual Technology, and the initial virus samples contained traces of faint Spiritual Energy.

Su Yu now intended to absorb the Spiritual Energy present in those virus samples to expedite his recovery.

After all, relying solely on respiration to convert for his Super Quality was an excessively gradual method for recuperation.

He selected a vial containing a light blue virus sample, unsealed it, and consumed the entire contents in one go.

Immediately, he sensed an impending transformation within his body.

His gastrointestinal system appeared to be awakening its own sentience, endeavoring to break down and assimilate his physical being.

Su Yu maintained his composure and ingested a dose of the vaccine, effectively halting the internal metamorphosis.

Concurrently, the Spiritual Energy within the sample was assimilated by him, further augmenting his restored strength.

His gaze fell upon the remaining several dozen vials of the original samples. With a slight nod, he recognized that consuming them all would enable him to regain an even greater measure of his power...
