Apocalypse Rebirth: Beauties Surround Me

Chapter 156: Today is really a double delight



Elijah took a sharp intake of breath, filled not with surprise, but with shock!

"I wondered yesterday how she became so agile, her speech improved, and her memory partially restored! These are signs of her advancing! But when I switched abilities last evening, I hadn't advanced. So it must have been last night when she advanced? But why didn't I sense it? No...

I did sense something! The sensation of advancement last night could have been either Charlotte's or Abigail's. I acted hastily! No, now is not the time to think about this!"

Elijah paced anxiously at the door.

"Abigail advancing to the Second Stage, on par with me, means she can break free from my control at any time. Yes... but Abigail didn't break free! Instead, she stayed quiet and even cooperated with Daisy to change clothes?"

Elijah calmed down.

"Maybe... things aren't as bad as they seem! But nonetheless, a wise man does not stand under a crumbling wall! The urgent matter is to advance to the Third Stage and regain control!"

"Squeak!" At that moment, the door finally opened!

Daisy pouted at Elijah. "Elijah, did something come up early this morning?"

Originally, nothing... but now there really was something! However, he couldn't tell Daisy directly.

"I came to see how you and Abigail rested yesterday!"

Elijah could only blurt out nonsense.

At that moment, Abigail walked over. Today, Daisy had dressed her again in the Neil mechanical heroine outfit. The black leather suit looked both dazzling and pleasing.

"Master, good morning!"

Abigail smiled faintly at Elijah!

Abigail's smile was still slightly stiff, unnatural, but the transformation from poker face to smile was shocking.

Only now did Elijah feel like he was facing a living person.

"Good, good!"

Elijah replied dumbly, but he felt a little uneasy inside.

This is a ticking time bomb!

"Hehe, Elijah, you're stunned too, right? I was shocked to see Abigail smile today!" Daisy exclaimed happily.

"And she insisted on wearing this outfit, saying it's Master's favorite!"

Daisy pursed her lips.

"How many times have I told her not to call me Master?"

"Hehe..."

Elijah awkwardly chuckled.

"Anyway, everything is progressing in the right direction!"

Elijah tried to change the subject.

"Are you both ready? Let's go downstairs. Your sister Charlotte has advanced to the Second Stage. Let's go congratulate her!"

"Really?"

Daisy looked pleasantly surprised.

"Today is really a double delight. Let's hurry downstairs!"

After saying that, Daisy grabbed Abigail and ran downstairs. Elijah followed behind.

Downstairs, Daisy immediately hugged Charlotte affectionately, chattering away about her advancement.

Meanwhile, Elijah walked outside the villa with Abigail silently trailing behind him.

Finding a secluded corner, Elijah suddenly stopped and turned to look at Abigail.

Elijah addressed Abigail cautiously, "You... advanced?"

"Yes, Master!" Abigail replied.

With that, an eerie silence fell between them once more.

Elijah's silence stemmed from realizing that he had been commanding Abigail all along, and she had obediently followed his instructions without resistance.

As for Abigail's silence... well, she had always been that way!

"Why didn't you break free from my control?" Elijah hesitated for a moment, then decided to be open about it. After all, Abigail's recent behavior was becoming less like a zombie and more human-like.

"Break free?" Abigail tilted her head. "Why should I break free? Why not... I'm used to Master! I like Daisy! And there's food!"

Abigail pulled out a corpse core from her small pocket and stuffed it into her mouth, her face involuntarily breaking into a satisfied smile.

Well... that actually makes sense. I'm speechless!

Elijah began to understand why Abigail had suddenly advanced. It must have been because Daisy had been secretly giving her many corpse cores. Abigail treated them like candy! With free lunch available, who wouldn't prefer that over going out to fight?

Thinking about this, Elijah felt a lot more relieved and his worries lightened somewhat.

But regardless, he needed to advance to the Third Stage as soon as possible!

Elijah led Abigail back to the villa.

Breakfast was already prepared, and everyone congratulated Charlotte once again.

After breakfast, everyone dispersed to do their own tasks.

Sophia asked Elijah if they were still going out to sea today.

Elijah thought for a moment and declined.

So, Hannah and Sophia went fishing at sea!

Fiona, Lily, and Daisy continued their work of transporting supplies to the mall. According to Fiona's estimate, they would finish today.

There was no need to bring everything back!

Elijah trusted Fiona completely in organizing this.

Olivia and the others had planned to practice Body Forging Techniques with Charlotte.

Elijah called Bella and Katherine over.

"Did you call us for something specific?" Katherine asked curiously.

"Yes, your task today is the most important!"

Elijah led them to the Spirit Plants Cultivation Room.

"First, Bella, it's time for you to advance to the Second Stage!"

"Me?" Bella looked pleasantly surprised.

"Yes, this zombie grass we obtained from Quentin is almost matured!"

"So, Elijah wants me to speed up its growth?" Katherine realized.

"That's right, and not just this zombie grass!"

Elijah also brought out the Crystal Grass.

The delicate and lush Crystal Grass resembled a decorative ball, with six obvious pores on it.

"Today, the two of you will work together to see if we can mature this Crystal Grass into seven-pored!"

Abigail's sudden change had prompted Elijah to act urgently, using unconventional methods.

"Alright, I'll do my best!" Katherine was eager to try.

"I believe in you. First, speed up the growth of this zombie grass!" Elijah handed it to her.

Katherine took it and activated her ability, her energy flowing out like water.

Stimulated by this, the zombie grass firmly grasped the corpse core buried in the pot, rapidly absorbing it.

The fluorescence around the zombie grass's leaves became much brighter, and the last leaf quickly grew, fully opening soon after.

"Done!"

Feeling that no further growth was possible, Katherine stopped.

"Alright, Bella, you're up next!"

Elijah then took scissors and cut the zombie grass near the soil.

Bella immediately placed her hands on it, activating her healing ability to the fullest.

The remaining roots of the zombie grass immediately burst with vitality, and a small, struggling leaf emerged, stretching and dancing in the air.

"That's enough!"

Elijah stopped Bella.

Katherine looked surprised at the scene. She suddenly understood why their zombie grass had never run out.

So that's how it was!

"Bella's improvement is crucial for our team. Katherine, don't tell anyone about this!" Elijah instructed.

"Don't worry, Elijah, I won't tell anyone except Fiona!" Katherine assured.

"Well... Fiona knows. Don't tell anyone else!" Elijah added.

"Okay!" Katherine was not surprised at all.

In fact, she would have been surprised if Fiona didn't know!

"Alright, let's prepare some food next..."

The three of them entered the kitchen. There were leftovers from breakfast, so they didn't need to prepare much.
