Chapter 45 - The Zombie Virus Outbreak

(Eevee will be referred as it)

— — — — — — — 

"Uh..."

Uchiha Renzo and the others were speechless after hearing that.

Did he just get mentally shut down by Eevee's request?

Well, he did have a point.

"Guess we should hope for a top-tier scientist in mechanics and electronics to join us in the future," Eevee sighed deeply.

Learning all that by itself? Way too much effort!

Come on, you are talking about just a baby Pokemon that hasn't even been born for a full year yet! Eevee wasn't lazy! Yep!

"Oh, right!"

At that moment, Apocalypse Renzo added, "Since you guys have all decided on your specialties, I should talk about mine too. I've thought it through—I'll be focusing on biology and genetics for now. If you need anything in that field, you can come to me. As for everything else... ask someone else."

In the future, he planned to follow the path of genetic evolution through science.

Of course, he wouldn't say no to freeloading off the abilities and powers of the other Renzos.

He also believed his research would greatly benefit them in return.

"Sounds good!"

No one had any objections. After all, biology and genetics held immense potential.

Bloodline Limits (Kekkei Genkai) from the Naruto world, Pokémon genes from the Pokémon world, Lineage Factors from the One Piece world, and demons from the Demon Slayer world—all of these were deeply connected to biology and genetics.

To truly unlock the potential of these bloodlines, research in these fields was absolutely essential.

"Maybe you can help me study Bloodline Limits in the future. Of course, I'll be doing my own research as well!" Uchiha Renzo said to Apocalypse Renzo.

Based on the biology and genetics knowledge he had just shared, Uchiha Renzo felt like he could already become a top-tier researcher himself—maybe even work alongside Orochimaru!

Orochimaru had a ton of interesting things in his lab.

Might be worth a shot.

"Oh?" Apocalypse Renzo's eyes lit up. "That sounds great! To be honest, I'm really interested in Bloodline Limits too! If we can crack the code, I might even be able to develop genetic serums that grant similar abilities in my world!"

Compared to Pokémon genes, the Bloodline Limits from the Naruto world were much more suitable for researching supernatural genetic enhancements.

"Speaking of which—"

Suddenly, Apocalypse Renzo remembered something important. He turned to Demon Slayer Renzo and said, "Make sure you collect as much blood as possible from regular demons and the Twelve Kizuki. Also, record and analyze their genetic data in detail. I'll have use for it later."

"Oh, and if you get the chance, make sure to obtain the medicine formula Kibutsuji Muzan used to become a demon. He probably has the complete version. If possible, get all the notes from the doctor who originally created it."

"If that formula were to include the Blue Spider Lily, it might just create the perfect supernatural lifeform!"

A being that eliminates all the weaknesses of demons—

Supernatural regeneration, near-immortality,

Enhanced physical abilities, bloodline-based abilities, extended lifespan...

That's an absolute goldmine!

"Uh…"

Demon Slayer Renzo was stunned for a moment before realization dawned on him. "Oh, you're right! My world actually has something this valuable! Thinking about it, this might actually be the most precious thing I can get my hands on!"

"Don't worry, I'll find a way to get it!"

He was tempted himself!

"That really is a treasure! Demon Slayer, go for it! Drag Muzan out into the sun as soon as possible!"

The others cheered him on.

"Alright then, everyone, let's wrap it up for today. I'm heading out!" Uchiha Renzo said as he stood up.

He was still in the middle of fighting Iwagakure ninja. Getting pulled into this meeting out of nowhere—he worried that by the time he got back, he might forget what he was doing!

"Sounds good."

The others nodded in agreement. "Now that the consciousness space has been upgraded, we can enter anytime, anywhere. If we need to reach someone, we can just leave them a message here."

There might not be paper and pens around, but with chakra and other abilities, leaving a message was easy.

"True. Well then, everyone, see you later!"

"See ya!"

"I'm out!"

Highschool of the Dead World

"Hey! Hey!"

The moment Renzo's consciousness exited the mental space, he heard someone calling him softly and shaking his arm.

He instinctively looked up to see his seatmate.

"Dude, you're seriously sleeping through the teacher's lecture? You trying to get yourself killed?" his classmate whispered, exasperated.

"Huh?... Oh, right!"

Renzo snapped back to reality while feeling the surge of new power flowing within him. At the same time, he expanded his spiritual senses, scanning his surroundings.

To avoid a repeat of Demon Slayer Renzo's previous issue—when his power overflowed and got out of control—he made sure to suppress and contain his energy completely.

"Hmm?"

Suddenly, after covering the entire school with his spiritual awareness, Renzo's expression darkened as he turned towards the school gate.

He murmured to himself, "It's already happening? Looks like I made it back just in time."

"Time to go!"

Thinking this, he casually patted his classmate on the shoulder, leaving a sealed strand of sword intent within him—something that might just save his life later.

A small token of gratitude for the warning and for sitting next to him for the past two weeks.

"What are you doing?" his classmate asked, confused.

"Find a place to hide later."

Without explaining further, Renzo got up and walked out of the classroom.

"Weirdo…"

The classmate scratched his head, completely baffled.

"Renzo, where are you going?"

The teacher on the podium frowned upon seeing Renzo walking toward the door.

"Bathroom break! Sorry, Sensei!"

Renzo flashed a polite smile and walked out without waiting for a response.

Given that he was the top student in the entire school, the teacher didn't press him further.

Academic elites had privileges, after all!

Having someone like Renzo in his class made his monthly performance evaluations look way better.

As he walked toward the infirmary, Renzo sent a telepathic message to Saeko Busujima, who was in another classroom.

"Saeko! The zombie outbreak I told you about is happening! The school is about to fall. Head to the infirmary now and meet up with me and Shizuka! We're heading back home!"

They weren't in the same class—not because he didn't want to be, but because he was a second-year while Saeko was a third-year. 

If they wanted to be in the same class, he'd have to skip a grade.

Inside a classroom on the upper floor, Saeko suddenly froze upon hearing Renzo's familiar voice in her mind.

She instinctively looked around but didn't see him anywhere nearby, making her even more confused.

A hallucination?

"Nope, not a hallucination!" Renzo's voice came again. "I can't explain right now. Just trust me and get moving! I'm using telepathy to talk to you. The school gate and first floor have already started falling!"

"Understood."

Saeko trusted Renzo completely. Without hesitation, she stood up, excused herself under the pretense of a bathroom break, and walked out of the classroom with her wooden sword in hand.

"Wait... since when did people bring weapons to the bathroom?"

The teacher watched her leave, utterly confused.
