"Alright!"
Apocalypse Renzo could only smile bitterly and raise his hands in surrender. "I admit, I've been slacking off a bit!"
"But..."
He quickly changed the topic. "You can't blame me entirely! Right now, Japan is facing a severe outbreak of the undead virus. Other countries aren't doing great either, but at least they're in a better state than Japan!"
"Because of this, flights from Japan to other countries have basically been banned! I can't just fly out of here, can I?"
With his current level of mental power, flying was possible but long-distance flights like that were simply impossible to endure.
Not to mention, satellites were everywhere in the sky—especially Umbrella Corporation's satellites.
If he really dared to fly out of Japan, there was no doubt that he'd be immediately detected by other countries or Umbrella itself.
Just imagine what kind of 'fun' situation that would lead to...
"By the time I land in the U.S., I'd probably be immediately surrounded by the military or Umbrella's forces, who've been waiting for me all along!"
"So really, my hands are tied here!"
"Of course—"
His expression brightened as he turned to look at the newcomer Renzo. "My patience has finally paid off! Look, Gundam Renzo is here!"
"And he brought with him the talents and technology of electronic mechanics, giving me hope that I can craft a small flying vehicle with my own hands! And not just any aircraft—one that won't be detected!"
"With this, I can go anywhere I want!"
What a lifesaver! The technology in the Gundam world was far more advanced than the world he came from.
And the abilities of Newtypes? Insanely powerful!
(A/N: to know A Newtype is a person who has reached a new stage of human evolution in the Gundam universe.)
Several times stronger than ordinary humans, and in all aspects too—superior reflexes, advanced spatial awareness...
Oh, right! And something like a mechanical intuition, similar to the SEED mode from the anime.
When characters like Kira Yamato, Athrun Zala, or Lacus Clyne entered SEED mode, their spatial awareness and neural response speed would get a temporary but significant boost.
On top of that, Newtypes had exceptional learning abilities and hands-on skills.
Of course, not every Newtype had the same talents.
But in every regard, Gundam Renzo was among the top-tier Newtypes.
Otherwise, he wouldn't have become one of the greatest scientists in his world.
Simply put, he was a genius far beyond Apocalypse Renzo's level.
"Haha! No doubt about it!"
Pirate Renzo also grinned. "With the talents and knowledge from the Gundam Renzo, my yacht project is finally looking promising! I might even turn it into a flying yacht!"
"A yacht? That's all you aspire to?" Eevee scoffed with disdain.
"Yachts? It's not like Cynthia's family didn't already have those."
"You're comparing apples to oranges!"
Pirate Renzo rolled his eyes. "Don't lump ordinary yachts together with my envisioned flying yacht!"
Besides, Eevee was speaking from a modern-world perspective. Of course, it wouldn't be impressed. But for someone living in an era of wooden sailing ships, the difference in living standards was on a whole other level!
"Tch!"
Eevee turned its nose up but then had a sudden realization. "Actually, you just gave me an idea! I could develop some advanced technological products that don't exist in our world yet, like small high-speed aircraft or smartphones!"
"Then, I could have the Professor set up a company for me to make money!"
After all, if it ever wanted to build a large-scale research base and conduct experiments, it would need a ton of funds.
It couldn't just mooch off Cynthia's family forever.
It was a proud and dignified Eevee, after all.
"Starting a company, huh?"
Apocalypse Renzo nodded but then shook his head. "That's a great idea, but unfortunately, my world has already entered the apocalypse. Now isn't the time to be setting up businesses. I'd better focus on building a small flying craft first."
Luckily, the knowledge he had just shared from the New Renzo's mind contained detailed technological information.
And with the newly acquired talents, Apocalypse Renzo's mind was already racing to develop feasible plans based on his world's current conditions and available resources.
"Your knowledge in biochemistry and genetics is quite impressive too."
At this moment, Gundam Renzo had finally finished processing the flood of information in his mind.
He smiled at Apocalypse Renzo. "I'm really interested in the zombie virus too. I hope you can get your hands on Umbrella's research data soon! And if you run into any trouble designing your flying craft, feel free to ask me anytime!"
"Maybe, by studying the zombie virus and combining it with the genetic engineering techniques from my world, I can develop new types of enhancement and evolution serums!"
Newtype genetic technology was quite different from direct genetic enhancement serums.
The Newtype process had to start from embryonic stages, modifying genes while the fetus was still developing.
In simple terms, it was a form of genetic engineering—altering the DNA before birth.
Of course, the technology was already mature. Two Newtypes could naturally reproduce and give birth to another Newtype.
At least so far, Gundam Renzo hadn't found any major flaws in the process.
What he envisioned was a gene-enhancement serum that could be injected into already-born individuals, even adults, allowing them to undergo genetic evolution.
If successful, this could help bridge the gap between Oldtypes and Newtypes.
Of course, that would only work if he could eliminate groups like the Ribbons Almark faction and extremist Newtypes who supported total war.
Otherwise, the divide between Oldtypes and Newtypes would be impossible to mend.
At the core, it was all about power and profit.
"Well then, I'll be counting on you!" Apocalypse Renzo grinned and nodded.
"As for the zombie virus and Umbrella's research data, you don't even have to ask. I'm already working on acquiring them."
He was quite interested in them himself.
"Oh, right!"
Apocalypse Renzo suddenly turned to Gundam Renzo. "So, what's your main area of focus going forward? Everyone else has chosen theirs—what about you?"
"Hmm… well…"
Gundam Renzo paused for a moment, rubbing his chin in thought. "For now, I'll stick with technology as my main focus."
"I'll dabble in mechanics, electronics, and genetics! And of course, I won't neglect Gundams either!"
Having talent means having the freedom to do whatever he wants!
His potential in technology far surpassed Apocalypse Renzo's in both depth and breadth.
"Too bad we can't transfer physical objects between worlds. Otherwise, I'd have built each of you your own Gundam by now! Haha!"
Gundam Renzo spread his hands with a laugh.
Back in the day, his original self was a huge Gundam fan!
Naturally, the Renzo crew shared the same enthusiasm.
"Yeah, what a shame!"
The others all nodded in agreement.
"Well, I guess we'll just have to build our own someday." Demon Slayer Renzo shrugged.
"Speaking of which…"
He turned to Uchiha Renzo. "When do you think you'll awaken your Mangekyō Sharingan? If you manage to build a Gundam, wouldn't it be cool to try a Susanoo-armored Gundam?!"
"Hahaha!"
Pirate Renzo burst into laughter. "Now that would be one hell of a sight!"
