Chapter 3 - Chapter 3: Countdown To The Apocalypse!?

Inside the Miyamoto residential area

Takumi, who had been filled with fury moments ago, now sat inside his ruined room

He didn't seem to mind the mess he had made to the entire room his gaze drifts in the air

His eyes, which had always had a bright,warm light, seemed to be dipped into a cold abyss

Takumi felt lost

Though he had felt furious at his situation, he had also felt helpless

What could he do?

' Pretend the protagonist didn't exist '

He mentally scoffed at the thought he knew very well that the protagonist likely knew who he was

As for whether he knew the protagonist's identity

Takumi wasn't completely sure, but he had a strong suspicion it was Takashi

Why?

Well besides the fact that Takashi knew a lot of things about him, the most important part involves his regressor memories

[ Me and Takashi are the only people who had managed to create groups that were strong enough to survive the first wave

In my impression the candidate likely to have the title of protagonist is him ]

Rei Miyamoto who had been dazed in the classroom suddenly jolted

Her brother had finally said something in his heart again!

Unlike Takashi, who had been spouting nonsense all day long, Takumi had only said that first disturbing cry before going silent

The people who knew Takumi were anything but calm at the moment!

Because just from the tone of voice used, one can feel just how much pain and torment he had endured

If not for the fact that school was still in, Rei was sure she would be speeding home with a bunch of thieving cats!

Despite knowing all of that, Rei smirked... because

Unlike the disgusting ' protagonist ' who had boobs and ass instead of EQ and IQ

Her brother despite not being the one favoured by the world had displayed the proper mindset of one who controls their own fate

He had already discovered that Takashi, That failed abortion, was the protagonist that the world loved

[ Sigh what should I really do? I just checked the date and tomorrow is actually the day everything goes to shit? Couldn't the world have given me more time to prepare!? ]

Rei heard Takumi's voice and listened carefully

After hearing that it was relevant to both the future and its problems she became even more focused

In fact she wasn't the only who had taken this seriously

Previously Takashi had mentioned a list of people he remembered dying ' pitifully ' and had unintentionally revealed that a disaster was approaching quickly

The girls had waited for him to elaborate but he had suddenly started mentioning the bust sizes of girls in school

This not only made the girls listening frustrated from not getting the info the wanted but angry at his disgusting thoughts

Hearing Takumi, who had only had less then 3 thoughts but already started releasing crucial information left the heroines elated

[ Tch, who would've guessed that people are so twisted. I don't know what that mysterious organisation was thinking but if I ever find them I'll be sure to twist their heads off. Because of them, tomorrow the world will turn into an apocalyptic world filled with blood thirsty cannibals instead of people...who would've thought we'd one day have to deal with freakin zombies ]

And as the heroines hoped, Takumi had given them the information they wanted

However the joy had barely settled before disbelief and donning horror replaced it

Why?

Because the information was to shocking!

Zombies?

Seriously!?

The girls knew that soon they're have to face a major crisis and had mentally prepared themselves

But reality always had a sick sense of humour

Because no matter who it was, what background they had, or which type of underwear they liked to wear

None had expected an answer like this!

A zombie apocalypse

A fucking Zombie apocalypse!

" Wuwuwu, its over ! "

" Yuigahama-san! Is everything alright!? "

In class Yui Yuigahama broke down immediately

Why, because she instantly released that hell was approaching and there was little she could do

She didn't think for a second that this apocalypse would be easy to survive in or to be precise, that she could survive a zombie apocalypse

After all reality and fantasy were completely different

While it's true that in stories, zombies have no intelligence, but this is real life, she knew it wouldn't be that simple

And even if they were simple minded

Zombies weren't terrifying for their strength or speed

No, zombies were terrifying for their rate of infections!

The sheer number of people in the city made Yuigahama despair instantly

Because in a zombie apocalypse, crowded places are basically death zones!

Her mother was overseas and wouldn't be back for a week

Tomorrow was the end of the world

She knew that if Takumi saw this as a crisis then it was, after all, Takumi was excellent in almost everything.

If he found this situation difficult then it was definitely difficult!

Yui Yuigahama couldn't care less about the worry of her classmates when she realised that today might be her and her mother's final day

And she wasn't the only one

In fact this was natural

At least Yui Yuigahama had only broken down after realising the situation, while others....well the didn't take it well

Bang! × 2

" Ahh! "

" What the hell is wrong with you bitch! "

" Miyamoto Rei, Yuki Miku, what is the meaning of this "

In class 2B two girls who had bad blood stood up together looking at each other

Then without a word ran out the classroom!

If one saw their faces they would see nothing but despair as the girls ran towards the schools exit

Teachers who saw and tried to stop them were batted away like flies

And those who tried to persuade them to stop were ignored

Why would they stop

Today might be the last day the saw Takumi!

They had sharp minds

Takumi wasn't the same as the past

His previous life had taken a tole on him and his mental state

That could be noticed from just the way he thought

And again this isn't a manga or an action movie, this was real life

Just because he survived an apocalyptic world once doesn't mean he'd be able to do so again

Or even worse, be willing

They ran towards the Miyamoto residential area without hesitation

Takumi had just said he lost everything

People with that mentality tend to lean with suicide

This was an act they refused to let him take, even if he hated them for it

Seeing the school gate wasn't locked, they didn't hesitate and ran out

They had to get to Takumi before he does something unwise

Saeko calmly entered the girls locker room

She didn't feel the need to worry about what might happen to Takumi as she had noticed two familiar figures running across the hallway earlier

Even from here she could hear the confusion spreading across the school

She guessed that after learning the nature of the problem many girls who could hear inner voice decided to leave school without hesitation

After all, if you knew the world ended tomorrow, would you go to school or work today

The answer was no

The girls most likely left their classes in a hurry, broke down in fear and uncertainty or were simply in shock

Naturally this would cause a massive reaction towards the other students and teachers!

She pulled out her extra bukkon and sportswear and stuffed them into her school bag

Besides the bag were the books and textbooks of a 3rd year highschooler

Naturally they were hers!

Saeko had directly emptied he bag of school materials and took all her kendo equipment

Why?

Because it was the only things she genuinely cared about that were at school

They world was ending and she didn't feel like wasting time either

[ What the hell is going on?! Why are all the babes in this school acting like lunatics!? ]

Saeko heard a voice she didn't want to hear

She wasn't surprised though

Takashi was still in school so his reaction was expected

Meanwhile Takashi was confused

While he had been staring at kyoko-sensei's swaying ass with the focus of a user bearing the 3 tomoe sharingan!

She was writing a question on the black board when all of a sudden she dropped her chalk and stood there stiffly, her mouth gaping like a fish

Before anyine could ask what was wrong, the school, which was calm and quiet, suddenly became loud and noisy

Screams and cries rang out from multiple classes making him involuntary feel a bit of PTSD

For a moment ahd thought the apocalypse had started

He had realised that wasn't the case when he noticed that the school gate wasn't crawling with any undead only two familiar girls darting out the school gate

He then noticed that most of the screaming were people he recognised and that two figures were people he was very familiar with making him exclaim in his heart

[ Why the hell are these people acting like this? It's like they realised the world was ending ? ]

Takashi who had stood up in the now chaotic class had unknowingly guessed the truth

As he walked out he noticed that students were running out the school building

At first it had only been Rei and Yuki

But after the students noticed them they had followed suit

Reason?

Because they saw others running away

Who in the hell needed a reason to run away

The students, despite not fully understanding didn't hesitate to run away when the saw how students were suddenly screaming, crying or running

This wasn't them knowing the danger coming

But them sensing it through others

Takumi had his feet on his bed watching his phone while holding a cup of coffee

One might think he was enjoying his free time but if the did so they'd be wrong

His phone screen displayed a video that had ended, the cup of coffee had long since became cold and his gaze was distant

Showing clearly that he was apsentminded

He had not been relaxing but had been thinking about what to do

[ This world seems to be a world similar to the past maybe even the same one, but I can't assume I know everything ]

Takumi truly wouldn't be surprised if this was a parallel world and if that was the case then

[ If that is the case the world may not follow the same path it did in my past life ]

Takumi's mind kicking into overdrive

[ In my last world, a company named umbrella were trying to create superhumans, while they did somewhat succeed, the outcome wasn't what the had envisioned ]

Takumi drank his cold coffee in one jug and placed it in the study table his brain thinking about the company that ruined everything

[ Instead of creating a bunch of Captain America's they created some World war z monsters instead ]

Takumi still didn't know how he survived his day in the beginning

Was it really because of his antagonist halo

[ Though many people indeed gained what could be called supernatural abilities in the end, that didn't mean things got easier, in fact the zombies were never left behind, after every evolution, a new mutation was born from the zombies]

Takumi crushed clenched his fists recalling the last zombie he faced

[ I already ordered can food to keep me going from the nearest supermarket and have already prepared all the necessary tools I'll need, but I'm still uneasy, though the timeline claims that the end of the world is tomorrow, my gut feeling says that isn't the case ]

Rei and Yuki were nearly hit by a car as the ran across the streets

The result wasn't pretty

The car driver had turned the steering wheel in a panick and accident hit a young woman who had been waiting with herale acquaintance

" Marin! "

The male immediately screamed in panic as he approached the down woman who had been sent flying her bones petruding in jacked angles

" Help! Call Emergency services or an Ambulance "

The people reacted while the man stood next to the seemingly hopeless woman

He glared at the two girls who had not even batted an eye running towards an unknown place

" You damn brats! If I so much as catch you, you'll regret ever skipping class! "

The man cursed the two until he noticed the girl named Marin, attempt to get up

He panicked

" No stop Marin, you're in a very critical state don't aggrivate you're injuries and further "

However the woman named Marin seemed not to her him, seemingly whimpering while trying to get up

The man, ignoring the bloody mess and making sure to avoid her injuries hugged her, tears falling down as he forced her to stop moving violently

" It's ok, I'm here, Tendo is here with you "

The man named Tendo comforted the woman while holding her as if afraid she'll break apart, his tears fell down without stop

The crowd felt their hearts break

Tendo suddenly felt Marin's breath on his neck

He didn't even have time to think before a sharp pain assaulted him

He turned to Marin seeing her biting into his shoulder

A few blocks away the 2 girls, sweating and tired noticed a large house ahead and smiled

Only for the next second

" AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!! "
