Wasteland: Am I a Virus Containment Unit?

On the wasteland, viruses are the source of all disasters and the only ladder to power. Lin Du opened his eyes and found himself a 'street sweeper' in Dawn City—sent as expendable material into the infection corridor with a ninety percent mortality rate. Everyone expected him to die. Until the first corrupted beast lunged at the crowd, he heard it—the whispers of viruses, hungry, restless, like creatures waiting to feed, growing clearer in his ears. He wasn't infected; instead, he absorbed it. Starting with the first virus, he stepped onto a path neither Dawn City nor the Plague God Cult dared to tread: not to eradicate, not to yield, but to coexist with the viruses. Urban ruins, wilderness settlements, the Gray Rift... the closer he got to the truth of that catastrophe, the more he found all the whispers repeating the same thing—they were waiting for him. This is a story of 'a man marked as expendable by the world, ultimately listened to by the entire world.' — Description from novelcodex.org
