Main God Creation Rules

When Saeko Busujima retreated back into the bus due to the sudden appearance of infected individuals, Kurumi Ehisuzawa almost entirely absorbed all the attacks from the outside. If it weren't for the fact that the area she was guarding had retreated to the bus door, and the thick metal barriers in other areas, it would probably have been breached long ago. Even so, she had already reached her limit.

After forcefully kicking away a zombie that tried to rush forward, knocking several others to the ground along with it, Ebisu Kurumi pulled away the body of the female teacher who was slumped over the steering wheel. Upon seeing this, Takagi Saya screamed.

"Wait, what are you going to do?!"

"What else can we do—"

Surrounded by zombies on all sides, there was no need to determine direction. He simply shouted at Hui Feixu Ze Hu Tao, who was flooring the accelerator, "Hold on tight!!!"

With a large amount of gray-black exhaust fumes spewing from the rear of the car, the modified bus lurched violently before struggling to move through the crowded "sea of ​​corpses."

It was this "shaking" motion due to inertia that completely changed the predetermined outcome.

"As expected, intelligence is a fatal flaw."

In Yuri Wakasa's view, the infected person, who had already cornered Saeko Busujima with her fighting instincts and was about to deliver the final blow, missed her chance due to the bus's swaying. In fact, due to the excessive movement, she directly exposed her vital point—her head—to the blade. Naturally, Saeko Busujima, who had already been warned, did not miss the opportunity in a melodramatic way but instead pierced the long, narrow blade through Saeko's head and out through her back.

Exhaling, Lin Yi, having shifted his perspective from the candidates, stood up from the ruins and gazed at the bus that was gradually accelerating away from the sea of ​​corpses in the distance.

Prototype: Chapter 19, Second Position

“It’s amazing”

Lin Yi gently stabbed the metal crossbow bolt at the "corpse" lying limply on the ground a few times. The expected scene of it sinking into the muscle did not occur. It only pierced the surface skin and seemed to get stuck inside. Moreover, this dead body, which had been stabbed "through" from the head, seemed to retain a nervous response. Faced with this scene, Lin Yi pulled the trigger without hesitation.

"rub--"

Metal instruments are always harder than flesh and blood—this is an objective truth proven by facts.

The infected creature, whose skull had been pierced twice, was completely dead, but still not satisfied, it loaded a few more arrows into the crossbow in its hand.

"rub--"

"rub--"

"rub--"

……

"Can the T-virus be extracted from this corpse?"

[99% success rate in extraction]

"...What is the success rate of using the T-virus extracted from this corpse to infect others?"

[Benign infection rate: 1.17%]

His eyes twitched: "The infection rate of 98.83% is practically the same as suicide."

Lin Yi let out a breath: "How can we increase the success rate?"

[Currently available option 1: Wait for the current global viral evolution]

[Currently available option 2: Create more experimental materials]

"Evolution?"

Benign infections can lead to the production of T-virus antibodies, which can significantly increase the rate of benign infections.

Lin Yi suddenly realized: "You mean that Saeko Busujima and that Kurumi thing?"

【correct】

ponder for a moment.

"...Approximately how long will it take?"

[Phase 1 infection success rate: 10%, current goal: 2]

The second phase of infection is estimated at 22%, with a projected timeframe of 653 hours.

The infection rate is 45% in the third stage, and the estimated time required is 5765 hours.

The highest infection rate is 87%, and the estimated time required is 133126 hours.

Faced with the data provided by the main god, Lin Yi was speechless for a moment: "Putting aside the absurdly long timeframe, even the antibodies provided by the highest-stage benign infected individuals have a 13% failure rate. Do you think that's acceptable?"

The only response was silence.

"Alright, let's put option one on hold, and move on to option two..."

He paused, then asked, "Do we need a second experimental world?"

[Can improve information gathering efficiency by 174%]

Looking at the rising black smoke in the distance, his hesitation lasted less than half a second: "Begin searching for a second suitable world, provided that its technological level is below the age of firearms. Hmm... those random things like magic and cultivation are also excluded. Although the Middle Ages is a good choice, the experimental environment is too harsh and not conducive to data collection..."

Qunliu (8) Jiuwuba Lingsi Lengwu & [Discover a world that meets the conditions]

"I understand this is hard to find, so I'll roughly narrow it down... huh?"

He looked up in surprise, and naturally, there was no one in front of him. However, Lin Yi was not focused on anyone who could appear in front of him, but on the data and text appearing on his retina.

"The era was similar to the Steam Age on Earth, powered by coal-fired steam engines, and the manufacturing level was—"

Looking at the descriptions and introductions behind him, Lin Yi was at a loss for words for a moment.

"I'm saying, why is it that the people of this world are able to build railways and large machinery of this caliber, but they can't even make a firearm? And what kind of weapon are they using... a steam gun?"

[A simple kinetic energy structure weapon with steam as the jet vector]

Although there are a lot of things to complain about, the most important thing right now is not to complain about such meaningless things. I am not paying attention to this strange world anymore. After all, there are already worlds with magic and immortals, so it is not strange for a steampunk world to appear.

"Now that this world is settled, what's next..."

Looking down at the infected corpse pinned to the ground by crossbow bolts, Lin Yi sighed helplessly.

----------segmentation----------

"Finally escaped..."

When the road ahead transformed from a sea of ​​corpses into a desolate, deserted path, there were first a few murmured calls, followed by a huge cheer that erupted inside the bus.

At this moment, even the most indifferent person would feel fortunate to have escaped death so close to impossible. Not to mention that everyone here is just a student who has encountered inappropriate things at an inappropriate age, so it is only natural that they would react with even stronger emotions.

However, such joyful times are destined to be short-lived...

"What are you going to do?!"

With a gasp coming from the back of the bus, everyone's eyes turned to the back, only to be met with a scene that sent chills down their spines.

"Damn it, you want to turn on us right after we just saved you?!"

"Get out of here if you don't want to die."

Calming her erratic breathing from the strenuous exercise, Ebisu Kurumi completely ignored the hostile stares around her and raised her military shovel at Komuro Takashi, who was leaning against the back of the bus: "Can't you see? He's already infected!"

"—!"

Shocked and bewildered by these words, everyone focused their attention on the huddled figure. In this situation, even though Komuro Takashi tried his best to hide the five bloody claw marks on his back, he could not do so. Slowly, a silent stillness descended upon the group of people who had just escaped death.

Komuro Takashi, sensing what was about to happen, turned pale instantly. He looked pleadingly at the girls who should have been on his side, but all he got were evasive or sorrowful glances. No one dared to take a step towards him. As his heart sank, the cold voice that suddenly rang out was like heavenly music.

"enough"

Standing before Kurumi Ebisuzawa, Saeko Busujima, gripping a knife in one hand, said coldly, "This is our own business."

"you--"

"walnut!"

Yuri Wakasa forcefully pulled back the about-to-go-rage Ebisu Kurumi, but simply shook her head at her. The latter snorted heavily and then retreated to Takeya Yuki's side.

This scene clearly stirred up Komuro Takashi's last remaining will to live. As if grasping at the last straw, the pale-faced boy cast a pleading look at Busujima Saeko.

"Senior Busujima, I...I..."

"...Chat VI cage} Er Er sanIV 8 shrimp thoughts +..."

"I have been infected."

At that moment, he suddenly realized how brave the people who had decided to end their lives prematurely because of the infection were. Only after truly facing death can one understand how terrifying it is.

"But I might not get infected—just like you, senior, I can too!"

Komuro Takashi, who was constantly explaining to Saeko Busujima, failed to notice that his own pupils were beginning to turn cloudy.

Looking at that familiar face, the girl holding the long sword closed her eyes: "To uphold the last dignity of men is also a woman's responsibility."

"laugh"

Prototype: Chapter 20 The Ending of a Peaceful and Prosperous Era

After obtaining the first corpse of a T-virus infected person, the mission in this world that was gradually falling into the ravages of the virus came to an end. Although we could continue to track down the two benign T-virus evolvers to collect more data and samples, the efficiency was destined to be low due to the lack of direct intervention methods. More importantly,

"Too dangerous."

A monocular telescope was pointed into the distance, and an infected creature that rushed out from a corner almost effortlessly overturned several survivors hiding in a small car, along with the car itself. Just by looking at the exaggerated dents and cracks on the car's surface, one could roughly calculate the survival rate of the people inside, not to mention the ordinary undead swarming around it.

There is not much difference in the probability of T-virus evolved beings and T-virus infections. Since evolved beings have appeared even among the less than 0.1% of survivors, the number of infected beings that will appear among the undead is definitely more exaggerated, given the huge population base.

If it were just dealing with ordinary undead, one could rely on the "God's" reminder to avoid them and the expensive crossbow in hand to protect oneself. However, this crude weapon was clearly insufficient against those infected who had already begun to enter the "inhuman" realm... If attacked, there would probably not even be a chance to launch an attack.

For this reason, Lin Yi had to suspend data collection on this world ahead of schedule.

"Is it possible to narrow down the remaining three candidates?"

【Southwest direction, 11.24km】

“Very good... Add those people around us to the candidate list as well, and then let them grow on their own.”

Wearing triple protective gloves, his hands, under strict protection, carefully reached into the chest of the infected person who had already been disemboweled, and under the guidance of the "God," directly grasped the enormous heart that was almost twice the size of an ordinary person's: "Phew, I didn't expect that someone who doesn't look like much on the outside would have such a 'big heart'."

Unable to comprehend this low-brow joke, "God" offered an explanation in the same mechanical, cold voice.

The enlargement of the heart and blood vessels effectively provides the body with energy output.

"...I just hope that the price of using the T-virus to evolve won't be crushing other internal organs."

Without giving the main god a chance to continue explaining, Lin Yi stood up after tightly wrapping up this "big heart".

If possible, bringing the entire corpse would be more beneficial for data collection. The problem is that the total amount of energy remaining in the main god is destined not to be consumed indefinitely on carrying objects for world transfer. In addition, the selection process for the first batch of candidates is expected to consume a lot of energy. Therefore, we can only settle for bringing only a heart.

According to the explanation from the main god, most of the core genes of the T virus are recorded in the heart area, and as long as there is a sample, it can be roughly replicated and manufactured.

"All right."

After tossing the "packed" heart into his backpack, Lin Yi issued a command to the entity in his mind: "Begin the transfer."

[Target: No. 03]

[Relocation countdown: 10, 9, 8...]

Feeling the familiar dizziness gradually descending, my gaze involuntarily turned to the distant, gradually tilting sunset.

The crimson light reflected on the ruins, now a living hell, revealing an indescribable "beauty." But this beauty was only for the person beneath. For those still struggling below, this bloody beauty represented not only the collapse of everything, but also the approaching night, the more ferocious and dangerous predators, and an increasingly hopeless future...

【6,5,4...】

"To live is to fight."

Close your eyes and completely suppress the feelings of confusion and bewilderment that are growing in your heart: "You are just walking the path that others have already walked."

[3,2,1. Transfer begins]

----------segmentation----------

Unlike World Zero, where they had lived for twenty-three years, and World Two, which had just become a T-virus testing base, World Three, designated as World Three, remained in the era of transition from the early modern period to the modern era. However, unlike conventional history, this world seemed to have encountered some unexpected event that led to the emergence of a completely different "technology tree".

"To achieve this level of capability solely through steam power, perhaps I should marvel at humanity's remarkable adaptability?"

Gazing at the steel city nestled between two mountain ranges, perfectly severing the road leading to the other side of the plain, Lin Yi uttered these words with a feeling that was hard to describe as either admiration or mockery. The Supreme God, following the most rational judgment, still gave an untimely reply.

[Due to the unique characteristics of the current world order, the ultimate pressure that steam can generate is 1.67 times that of the conventional world.]

"1.67 times?"

【蒸汽动力效率提升幅度为60%~90%，生产力水平提升幅度为40%~110%，蒸汽武器开发可能性为50~80%，武器威力提升——】

"There is no difference."

It directly interrupted the main god's long explanation that had just begun. The previous experience was enough to show that this existence in its mind could not be measured by common sense. What was just a simple joke to ordinary people could be a definite proposition to be deduced and calculated. If it was not stopped, it could even waste precious energy to provide a long explanation that exceeded the length of the world's longest literary novel.

In Lin Yi's view, it must have lost its crucial priority judgment mechanism when it lost most of its functions a long time ago. After all, an existence that can establish a huge resource plundering system across many worlds would not be so foolish as to waste its computing power on these meaningless details.
