Simultaneous Transmigration: From Douluo Continent to the Pinnacle

Chapter 18 School World, Zombie Outbreak

Academy World.

Lin Yao stood on the rooftop, a gentle breeze blowing, toying with a sharp longsword in his hand.

The blade is meticulously crafted from alloy, and under the sunlight, the edge gleams with a chilling light.

Recalling the wooden swords in the kendo club, Lin Yao couldn't help but purse his lips.

Those wooden swords, unless they cut vital areas like the temples or genitals, would at most only cause a slight stinging sensation.

Compared to the alloy longsword in his hand that could cut through iron like mud, it was worlds apart.

This longsword is the real weapon for killing people; having it provides an extra layer of protection in the impending apocalyptic crisis.

While casually fiddling with his weapon, Lin Yao's thoughts drifted back to his experiences over the past few days, filling him with a myriad of emotions.

After regaining his memories of his past life, he quickly accepted the fact that he had been transported to this world.

Upon arriving in this world filled with Japanese aesthetics, he eagerly anticipates starting a carefree life like a harem protagonist.

However, reality soon poured cold water on him.

When he stepped into the school as a transfer student and saw the blonde junior with Cantonese-style twin ponytails, and heard the familiar yet unfamiliar name, Ichimiya Rei, a bad premonition quietly grew in his heart.

His subsequent encounter with the purple-haired, mature woman, Yako Busujima, at the kendo club further confirmed to him that he had actually arrived in a world on the verge of a zombie outbreak.

At first, Lin Yao wasn't too worried.

Based on his understanding of the zombies' combat capabilities in this world, as long as an adult who trains diligently and has decent physical fitness, and as long as they remain vigilant and avoid being surrounded by a large number of zombies, surviving is not difficult.

Thus began his monotonous life of going between the academy, the kendo club, and home, focusing all his efforts on improving himself and hoping to become stronger.

However, as he continued his training, Lin Yao gradually discovered that even though his physique had improved significantly, it seemed to have reached its limit in a short period of time.

However, there is still a considerable gap between him and the president of the Kendo Club, Masako Busujima.

This realization made him understand that simply building physical strength might not be enough to cope with the impending crisis.

After much deliberation, he decided to purchase some firearms and weapons in advance as a backup.

While browsing related information via a VPN, a familiar umbrella-shaped logo caught his eye, and at that moment, his heart suddenly started racing.

This trademark belongs to Umbrella Corporation, a renowned behemoth company across the ocean.

At first, he still held onto a sliver of hope, thinking it might just be a coincidence.

However, after a closer look, Lin Yao discovered that it really was a protection company, leaving him feeling helpless.

Why am I so unlucky to have transmigrated into such a dangerous world!

Even a terrible suspicion arose in his mind.

Could this world be some kind of post-apocalyptic hybrid world?

The thought sent chills down Lin Yao's spine.

With his current abilities, he's already struggling to deal with the zombies in Highschool of the Dead, let alone the terrifying beings from other post-apocalyptic worlds that might be mixed in.

Take the Licker, a minor boss in the Resident Evil universe, for example. Just imagining the scenario of encountering him, he felt that he had no chance of winning and would most likely become one of the random passersby hunted by the Licker.

Just when he was filled with despair and at a loss, a turning point suddenly arrived.

One day at the academy, he unexpectedly entered a mysterious palace through a mysterious star cluster in his mind.

There, he gained the combined power of Douluo Lin Yao and Hong Kong variety show star Lin Yao.

Although his strength at this moment still seemed weak in front of true powerhouses, roughly equivalent to a level 10 Soul Master.

But this opportunity is a source of hope, filling people with anticipation for the future.

His changes, of course, did not escape Saeko Busujima's notice.

The vice president, who used to be filled with bitterness and resentment, relentlessly honing his swordsmanship skills, even going so far as to break school rules by secretly forging an alloy longsword to bring into the school and never leaving his sword at all times, now seems to have undergone a complete transformation.

His face radiated anticipation for the future, and the light in his eyes no longer reflected the helplessness and struggle of being trapped in reality, but rather a longing for the unknown and wonderful world.

What's even more astonishing is that his strength skyrocketed like a rocket.

From being easily suppressed by Busujima Yako at the beginning, to being able to stand on equal footing with her later, and now to suppressing her instead.

This series of changes, occurring in just one or two months, is simply unbelievable.

Busujima Yako was filled with curiosity. What kind of extraordinary encounter had Lin Yao had that caused such a dramatic change?

Lin Yao was naturally unaware of the doubts in Dokushima Yako's mind.

At this moment, he was intently playing with the alloy longsword in his hand, feeling its heavy texture, and a strange sense of security welled up in his heart.

With this weapon, I can cut my way from the east gate to the south gate of Fujimi Academy without worrying about the blade getting dull or damaged.

A moment later, Lin Yao took out the carefully prepared maintenance tools and began to carefully maintain the alloy sword he named "Rainbow Sword".

While he was taking care of his appearance, he looked down from the edge of the rooftop and saw a group of girls in green skirts and white shirts walking by, chatting and laughing.

It has to be said that girls in this world seem to know a lot about dressing up.

While most people may not be as stunning as Gosho Busujima and Rei Miyamoto in terms of appearance, they still possess a unique charm through careful makeup and clothing, making them pleasing to the eye.

Looking at these youthful figures, Lin Yao couldn't help but recall the "monk's hut" he lived in at the same age in his previous life.

The monotonous environment filled with fencing experts stood in stark contrast to the scene before him.

Thinking of this, he couldn't help but secretly shed tears. What kind of life did he lead in his previous life?!

"Ugh!"

Lin Yao couldn't help but sigh softly, and the way he wiped his longsword slowed down a little.

Just then, the bell rang abruptly, signaling the start of class.

The once noisy campus instantly became lively, with students below stopping in their tracks, tidying their bags, and hurrying towards their classrooms.

However, Lin Yao remained unmoved, his hands continuing to move methodically.

These days, he no longer cares about school attendance.

The world is about to change drastically, and I recently activated my own cheat code. In this ever-changing situation, what's the point of going to class?

The reason he is still staying at Fujimi Academy is twofold: firstly, to spar with Busujima Kiko and thus consolidate his rapidly increasing strength.

Secondly, he knew that his current strength was far from sufficient to act recklessly in this perilous academy world.

It's best to proceed step by step through the initial weak development period and steadily improve your strength.

In this situation, the firearms that Shizuka Marikawa's best friend, Rika Minami, had stockpiled in the villa became especially important.

Lin Yao had previously tried to circumvent the Great Firewall to buy firearms, but he was ultimately too naive.

While placing the order was easy, the safe transport of these firearms was a thorny problem.

What's even more difficult is that Lin Yao had no money, and in the end, he had no choice but to give up.

While maintaining the Changhong Sword, Lin Yao carefully planned out his future path in his mind.

Inadvertently, out of the corner of his eye, he caught sight of a strange figure at the school gate.

At the empty doorway, a figure was slowly and unsteadily walking towards them.

The man had a blank expression and was covered in bloodstains, making him look particularly gruesome in the sunlight.

The man arrived at the entrance of Fujimi Academy and, without the slightest hesitation, pressed his entire body heavily against the iron gate.

Those bizarre actions seemed abnormal to anyone who saw them.

Just then, a group of four teachers—three men and one woman—stood by nearby, a classic combination.

With the support of this group, one of the male teachers became completely oblivious to the abnormality of the other person, his desire to perform exploded instantly, and without thinking, he strode towards the door.

Just as he reached the iron gate and came into contact with the thin figure, the thin figure suddenly moved and bit the male teacher's arm hard through the gap in the iron gate bars.

In an instant, blood splattered, and the male teacher let out a painful scream.

The figure, who had been expressionless, suddenly turned bloodthirsty the moment he tasted blood.

As if awakened by some instinct, it began to frantically ram its body against the iron gate, the frequency of which was several times faster than its previous mechanical movements.

That crazy energy was chilling.

All of this happened so suddenly that before anyone could even react, something even more terrifying followed.

The male teacher whose arm was bitten groaned in pain for a moment before his body went limp and he fainted on the spot.

But just over ten seconds later, he slowly stood up again.

However, at this moment, his eyes had become dull and empty, just like the crazed zombie from before.

Then, he slowly turned his head and fixed his gaze on the female teacher in front of him.

Then, the blankness in his eyes was instantly replaced by bloodlust, and he pounced forward—

"wrong----"

As Lin Yao watched this scene, his heart sank, and a strong sense of unease welled up inside him.

"Why does this scene seem so familiar? Could it be that the beginning of the zombie crisis at Fujimi Academy, which might be mixed with the Umbrella Corporation involved in the Resident Evil, is exactly the same as I remember, without any changes?"

At that moment, Lin Yao had just finished maintaining the Changhong Sword and carefully inserted it into the scabbard placed beside him.

Then, he clenched his fists, feeling the surging power within him, and breathed a sigh of relief. Power was indeed the greatest source of confidence.

But he quickly regained his senses.

The terrifying scene of a tyrant wielding a rocket launcher and firing at me involuntarily flashed through my mind, and the surging ambition in my heart was instantly replaced by helplessness.

"Live, you must live."

The thought that arose in Lin Yao's mind was that he had to be extremely cautious from now on.

As he thought about it, he reached for the Rainbow Sword beside him and turned to walk down.

His steps may seem slow, but each step is full of power and moves at an extremely fast speed.

In this academy world on the verge of apocalypse, the only people he cares about are Busujima Kiko and Marikawa Shizuka.

Dokushima Yako was a rare sparring partner for him at the academy.

Through repeated sword sparring, both of them improved their skills and developed a deep trust and understanding with each other.

As for Shizuka Marikawa, the seemingly naive and silly but actually adorable school doctor who has a perfect grasp of the boundaries with the opposite sex, she was his caring older sister during his physical training before he activated his cheat ability.

Whenever he suffers from body aches or hidden injuries due to overtraining, Shizuka Marikawa helps relieve the pain and heal the wounds.

Lin Yao had to go and meet up with them.

Although he only had a general understanding of the original plot, he never expected that the zombie crisis would suddenly break out today.

Even though, according to the original story, the two of them would have escaped the academy unharmed, he was still worried.

After all, in this unpredictable world, no one can guarantee that nothing unexpected will happen.

"School-wide announcement: A serious violent incident is currently taking place on campus. Students are requested to seek refuge under the guidance of their teachers — Ah, creak creak."

Just then, the campus loudspeaker suddenly blared. However, before the broadcast ended, a chilling scream and the sound of chewing filled the air.

Hearing the terrifying sound, Lin Yao couldn't help but shake his head.

This broadcast is worse than no broadcast at all; it only increases panic.

He looked at the increasingly chaotic campus as the broadcasts began and sighed helplessly.

Looking up, he saw a group of two men and a woman not far away.

There were two boys, one with black hair and the other with gray hair, while the girl had blonde hair with tiny Cantonese-style pigtails and delicate features.

This is an acquaintance—Miyamoto Rei.

During this special time, the two people who could accompany her were undoubtedly Komuro Takashi and Inagagi Go, her childhood friends with a complicated relationship in the original work.

Lin Yao was shocked and speechless when he first learned about the complicated relationship between the three of them. The relationship was really a mess.

At that moment, the three people, who were panicked and whose eyes were flashing with fear, saw Lin Yao walking towards them and immediately stopped in their tracks like startled birds. They subconsciously assumed a fighting stance, their eyes filled with vigilance and unease.

However, after taking a closer look, they found that Lin Yao's eyes were clear and bright, without the terrifying whites and scarlet abnormality of a zombie.

The three of them breathed a sigh of relief, and one of them recognized Lin Yao.

"You are—the vice president of the kendo club with a somewhat eccentric personality."

The one who spoke was Takashi Komuro, who had black hair.

"You actually said I have a weird personality? I haven't even told you how incredibly twisted you are inside."

He clearly liked her, but he refused to say it, and ended up giving away the girl who liked him to someone else.

Although they managed to get the person back later, that person turned out to be their best friend, making the whole situation a complete mess.

Lin Yao looked at Komuro Takashi and couldn't help but secretly complain to himself.

But he held back and didn't blurt those words out on the spot.

After all, in this time of crisis, there is no need to cause unnecessary conflict for the sake of momentary verbal gratification.

"Your junior doesn't really know how to respect his seniors. He's lucky to have met someone like me who doesn't care. Otherwise, he would definitely have gotten a lecture."

Lin Yao smiled slightly and said slowly.

"Well----"

Takashi Komuro was speechless for a moment, his face turning red and white in turns, looking extremely embarrassed.

"Hello, senior." "Hello, senior!"

Seeing this, Jing Yonghao and Miyamoto Rei, who were standing nearby, quickly smiled awkwardly and then respectfully bowed to Lin Yao as juniors.

"Um!"

Lin Yao nodded slightly in response, then glanced at Jing Yonghao, whose arm was injured, and shook his head inwardly.

This child is really unlucky; he had to get injured at this time.

"Why are you heading towards the rooftop? The academy is in chaos right now. The best option is to take this opportunity to leave the academy."

Going up to the rooftop might offer temporary safety, but if you get trapped there or surrounded by zombies, escape will be impossible.

Lin Yao looked at the three of them and said softly with concern.

"Especially the wound on your hand, you should go to the school clinic as soon as possible to find medicine to stop the bleeding, otherwise, before the zombies surround you, you may have already lost too much blood and gone into a coma or even shock."

Although Lin Yao knew that Jing Youhao would be assimilated by the zombie virus in the original story, he did not intend to point it out at this moment.

Maybe this guy will get lucky and make it through.

Thinking this, Lin Yao slowly drew the Rainbow Sword from his hand.

The sword was drawn from its sheath with a clear, soft hum, and the blade gleamed with a chilling light in the sunlight.

Holding the sword, the slight fear in Lin Yao's heart—the fear of being bitten or scratched by zombies, contracting the virus, losing consciousness, and losing his sense of self—vanished instantly.

Just do it.

When a person dies, their eggs face the sky; if they don't die, they'll live for ten thousand years!

Upon hearing this, given that it concerned his own illness, Igou Yong naturally agreed: "Senior, you make a lot of sense. The later it gets, the more dangerous the academy will become. We should leave the school first and see what the situation is like outside—"

Rei Miyamoto naturally wouldn't object to Go Iyenaga's suggestion.

Seeing the blood dripping from Jing Yonghao's hands filled her with worry, and she knew that she could not delay any longer.

Only Takashi Komuro had a complex look in his eyes, and hesitated to speak.

But when he saw that the other three agreed with Lin Yao's suggestion, he ultimately chose to remain silent.

So the four of them temporarily formed a makeshift team and headed down from the rooftop together.
