A doomsday escape?

Although it may seem unnecessary, the main quest might be related to the conditions for saving the world, otherwise the zombies would probably keep coming.

Moreover, his encounter with the original characters made him instantly understand the system's purpose.

Correcting the plot probably refers to these things.

However, whether the role is good or bad after you get to know it, you still need to experiment with it yourself.

"First, we need to exchange intelligence."

Gu Chuan spoke first, breaking the silence.

"I'll go first."

Rin Tohsaka stepped forward without hesitation. She picked up a barely perceptible wisp of black energy from the remains of the corpses she had slain with her Gandr, sniffed it lightly, and said solemnly, "These monsters are entwined with a very ominous remnant of magic. This energy... is the same as the one I sensed in your 'Mirror World,' but it is more violent and more corrosive."

She looked at Gu Chuan, her azure eyes filled with solemnity: "In other words, what we are facing now is the 'complete form' of your previous enemy, or rather, its true form."

Upon hearing this, Saeko tightened her grip on her sword and added, "Not only that, their evolution speed is extremely fast. Even before you arrived, I could already sense that the power and speed of some of the undead were several times stronger than when they first erupted, and some special mutants have even begun to appear."

"This is not the way to go."

Gu Chuan concluded, "We need a solid base as a foundation for our next steps, and at the same time, we need to figure out exactly what the 'contamination source sample' that led to the secondary evolution of the virus is."

This is precisely the main task issued by the system.

"I have a proposal."

Saeko began, “One of my companions, Saya Takagi, has parents who have built a large private shelter on the other side of the city. It has high walls, surveillance, and ample supplies and armed forces, making it the ideal place for us at this stage.”

“That sounds good. It can serve as both a refuge and a place to build a doomsday fortress.”

Gu Chuan nodded and looked at Lin, "What's your opinion?"

"I have no opinion."

Rin crossed her arms, then, as if struck by a sudden thought, her azure eyes fixed intently on Gu Chuan, her tone carrying a hint of a magician's inquisitive curiosity, "However, I have a question. Chuan, with the kind of 'authority' you just displayed... why not simply erase the virus from this world, or rather, all the undead, from the 'concept' level? Just like how you treated Saeko's wound. That shouldn't be difficult for you, right?"

This question instantly piqued the interest of all the girls watching the live stream.

Yes, if the observer is so powerful, why bother to build shelters and find samples?

Faced with Rin's questioning, Gu Chuan simply looked at her calmly and asked in return, "Rin, let me ask you, if a person has a tumor in their brain, and the tumor has deeply fused with their brainstem and neural network, almost becoming one with them, how would you treat it?"

“This…” Rin was taken aback by the question and subconsciously replied, “If it cannot be separated, then we can only give up treatment, or… remove it along with some normal brain tissue, but the consequences of doing so would likely be that the patient would die directly from brain death or become a vegetable.”

“That’s right.” Gu Chuan snapped his fingers and gave her an approving look. “You can now imagine this world as that patient. And the [T-Ω virus] is that tumor.”

“My power lies in ‘editing concepts,’ not ‘creating the world out of thin air.’ The virus in this world has, to some extent, become deeply bound to the ‘Gaia consciousness’ or the ‘soul of the world’. If I were to forcibly edit the virus at its source, it would be tantamount to performing a brutal lobotomy on the world itself.”

Although Gu Chuan's tone was calm, the scene he described sent chills down the spines of Lin and all the group members.

"The result is that the world, along with all living beings, will collapse completely and return to nothingness because it cannot withstand this 'correction'."

"So all I can do is, as an outsider, like a surgeon, precisely find and remove those key 'lesions'—that is, the so-called 'contamination source samples'—and then let the world slowly 'heal' on its own."

This explanation left Lin completely silent. She finally understood the limitations of Gu Chuan's abilities and why he had to carry out the mission step by step. It turned out that behind his seemingly omnipotent abilities, there was also a grander and more stringent set of "rules".

As Lin lowered her head in deep thought, she didn't notice that in order to hear more clearly, she had unconsciously moved closer and closer, almost touching Gu Chuan.

In the live stream, Alicia's mischievous voice echoed in everyone's minds through the barrage of comments.

[Alicia (switching to Rin's perspective): Oh my~ From Rin's perspective, the Observer's profile is so clear~ You can even see his long eyelashes~ Also, Rin's heartbeat is so fast, like a deer's, thump thump thump, everyone in the live stream can hear it clearly~]

"Shh!"

Rin's cheeks instantly turned bright red, as if they were about to bleed. She jumped back as if she had been electrocuted, pointing at the air and shouting with a mixture of embarrassment and anger, "Alicia, shut up! Don't, don't peek at my perspective! And who, who's having a racing heartbeat! I was thinking! Yes, thinking!"

Looking at her flustered appearance, Gu Chuan smiled faintly again and teased her in a voice that only the two of them could hear: "After all, I'm just an ordinary high school student. Of course I'll be a little nervous thinking about such a complicated problem."

"You—!" Rin was speechless for a long time after being choked by his words. She could only stomp her foot angrily, turn her head away, and ignore him.

This scene was witnessed by Saeko Busujima, who was quietly wiping her Murata sword with a smile the entire time.

45. The Distorted "Protagonist"

The temporary calm in the teachers' offices of the teaching building did not last long.

Just as Gu Chuan, Rin, Saeko, and Shizuka finished exchanging information and were preparing to plan their next move—

"Help! Don't come any closer!!"

A piercing scream, belonging to a young girl, accompanied by a desperate cry, suddenly came from the direction of the gymnasium not far downstairs, shattering the tranquility of the morning.

"There are survivors!" Shizuka Marikawa immediately stood up nervously.

Saeko Busujima and Rin Tohsaka also stood up at the same time, looking out the window with solemn expressions.

At the entrance of the gymnasium, two girls dressed in Fujimi Academy uniforms were being relentlessly chased by an unusually tall "monster" that exuded an ominous aura.

The two girls were a resolute young woman with twin ponytails, wielding a long spear, and a tall, terrified blonde with twin ponytails. It was none other than Miyamoto Rei and Yue/Yi Lu Yin Qi Yi Er Si Si (8) Takagi Saya.

The "monster" that was chasing them made Gu Chuan, a transmigrator, suddenly shrink his pupils.

The "monster" still vaguely retained the outline of a human, wearing the boys' uniform of Fujimi Academy, but his body had undergone a terrifying mutation.

He was nearly two meters tall, with bulging muscles all over his body and skin that was an abnormal dark red. One of his arms had even been mutated into a ferocious weapon that looked like a bone blade.

His speed was astonishing. Every time he swung his bone blade, he could carve deep trenches in the concrete ground. His destructive power far exceeded that of any other evolved creature he had ever seen before!

Most importantly, Gu Chuan was extremely familiar with that twisted and crazed face—it was the male protagonist of this world, Takashi Komuro!

"The plot... has been altered." Gu Chuan's eyes instantly turned cold.

He immediately understood; after all, this was no ordinary viral mutation, and it was far more ferocious than the first apocalypse.

Komuro Takashi, the "protagonist" who was supposed to lead his harem to survival, turned into a BOSS-level monster at the very beginning of the story, and he was specifically targeting the two core female characters, Miyamoto Rei and Takagi Saya.

This is undoubtedly the work of "distorted narratives" in the shadows, attempting to push the world into an even more chaotic and desperate abyss!

"Damn it! What is that thing?!"

Rin Tohsaka's expression was grim. "Its energy reaction is at least ten times stronger than those surrounding undead! And my gem magic... is consuming too much energy in this world!"

"We have no choice but to do it." Gu Chuan's voice was completely calm. He stood up and grabbed Lin's wrist without giving her a chance to speak.

"Hey! What are you trying to do now?!" Rin's cheeks flushed instantly, and her heart raced uncontrollably.

"No time to explain."

Gu Chuan's actions were simple and brutal. He forcefully pressed a ruby ​​into Lin's palm, covered it with his other hand, and in an almost tyrannical manner, injected his higher-dimensional power into it. "Don't resist, receive!"

Om-!

Rin felt an incomprehensible, massive, and pure flow of information instantly flood her magic circuits, performing a forced and disruptive online upgrade on her centuries-old system. The entire process took less than three seconds!

"This, this..." Before Rin could even experience this new power, Gu Chuan pulled her downstairs. "Hold on tight!"

"Freeze it!"

Gu Chuan led the three of them as they leaped from the second-floor window. A platform made of ice crystals instantly formed beneath their feet, carrying them like shooting stars as they streaked through the air and landed precisely between the two girls being chased and the monster.

This unexpected turn of events left both Miyamoto Rei and Takagi Saya stunned.

"It's up to you, Rin." Gu Chuan's voice was calm. He wanted to see how much difference there was between Rin and this mutant after Rin was enhanced.

"Hmph, watch this!" Rin was eager to test her new power. She raised her hand, and the ruby ​​in her palm shone with an unprecedented brilliance.

This time, she no longer needed to chant; with a thought, immense magic surged forth!

"—Enhanced Hruntng!"

Dozens of crimson magical light arrows materialized out of thin air, whistling sharply, like a pack of bloodthirsty hounds, automatically tracking the monster!

boom! boom! boom!

A series of explosions rang out on the monster, flames shooting into the sky! This attack, powerful enough to wipe out dozens of ordinary evolved creatures in an instant, was terrifying in its power.

However, when the smoke cleared, Rin Tohsaka's smile froze on her face.

Although the monster was blown to pieces, it only let out an even more ferocious roar, and its wounds began to heal at a visible speed! Its eyes were fixed on Rin, like a ferocious beast that had been provoked!

"How is this possible?! My attack actually..." Rin was shocked like never before.

“I’ve said it before, it’s a ‘mutant’.”

Gu Chuan pressed down on her shoulders and pulled her behind him. "Your mission is complete. Leave the rest to me."

He raised his head, calmly gazing at the monster that had fully recovered and was preparing to pounce again, and slowly raised his right hand.

There were no dazzling light effects, no complicated chanting.

He simply flicked his finger lightly and casually at the mutant.

"Snapped."

A crisp snap of fingers.

The next second, a pure white beam of light, as thin as a hair and composed of pure, high-density energy, shot out at a speed that exceeded the limits of visual perception!

The beam of light made no sound and caused no unnecessary damage. It simply passed silently and precisely through the mutated creature's brow.

Time seemed to freeze at this moment.

The arrogant mutant, which even Rin found troublesome, froze instantly with its ferocious expression.

Immediately afterwards, centered on the barely perceptible hole between its eyebrows, countless spiderweb-like cracks instantly covered its entire body.

"Wow--"

Like porcelain shattered by a heavy hammer, that powerful mutant silently and completely crumbled and disintegrated before everyone's horrified eyes, ultimately turning into a wisp of black dust drifting in the wind.

Not even a trace was left.

Instant kill.

Moreover, it's a effortless and utterly effortless instant kill.

Rin Tohsaka was completely petrified. She stared blankly at Gu Chuan's hand, which was still in the snapping gesture, then at the empty ground, her mind a complete blank.

This is... his power? An enemy that he couldn't seriously injure even with his full strength couldn't even withstand a snap of his fingers?

The difference is beyond description; it's not even as vast as the difference between heaven and earth.

【Ding! 】

[System side quest triggered: Many hands make light work.]

[Mission Description: Rescue and lead more key story characters to safety. The final mission reward will be significantly increased based on the number and importance of the survivors.]

Gu Chuan glanced at the system notification and understood.

He walked up to Miyamoto Rei and Takagi Saya, who were completely terrified, and calmly said, "Hello, my name is Gu Chuan. As you can see, it's no longer safe here. Come with us."

46. ​​Koichi Wisteria

The campus, which had just been teeming with zombies, was now deathly silent except for the sound of the wind and the heavy breathing of the survivors.

"The car...the car is over there!"

The first to recover from the shock was the school doctor, Shizuka Marikawa.

She truly lived up to her natural "adorable" nature; her awe of power was quickly replaced by her instinct for survival.

She pointed to a military Hummer in the parking lot not far away, and a flame of hope rekindled in her eyes, "That's Rika's car! I... I have a spare key!"

With renewed vigor, everyone, under Saeko's watchful eye, quickly ran towards the steel behemoth that represented their "way out."

The face of the genius girl, Saya Takagi, still bore the lingering shock. As she ran, she kept glancing out of the corner of her eye at the indifferent black-haired boy walking at the front.

Meanwhile, Miyamoto Rei gripped her spear tightly, her mind in turmoil. The scene of divine intervention had completely overturned her understanding of the real world.

Rin Tohsaka walked beside Gu Chuan. Even though she had witnessed Gu Chuan's amazing power many times, she still couldn't help but sigh.

She could understand the flow of "Great Source" magic and calculate the power of "Gem Magic," but she couldn't understand that power just now—it wasn't a "utilization" of existing physical laws, but a "declaration" of the laws themselves.

This is the authority of God.

"found it!"

After a flurry of activity, Shizuka finally managed to unlock the Hummer's door with her key.

Just as the joy of surviving the ordeal was rising in everyone's hearts, a gentle yet authoritative male voice rang out from not far behind them.
