Apocalypse Rebirth: Beauties Surround Me

Chapter 23: we have something to eat

Daisy is different from Bella; she has no survival skills in the apocalypse, but her superpowers are incredibly suitable for this environment.

So, things like managing meals and being a girlfriend may not matter much.

Some people might be willing to give them up at any time if there are better options.

But Abigail is different.

She and Daisy grew up together as childhood friends, not sisters by blood, but closer than sisters.

As long as Abigail is controllable, Daisy would never abandon her casually. Of course, that alone is not enough.

Elijah truly treats Daisy as family. Whatever she asks for, as long as it's feasible, Elijah won't refuse.

Just like when she wanted to go home to see her parents, even if it's out of the way, Elijah would agree.

With her abilities, it's just a matter of spending a little extra time. Treat others sincerely, and they will treat you sincerely!

...

Elijah and Daisy sneaked into the shadows, unnoticed in the dark night.

Soon, as they approached the main road of the neighborhood, they finally spotted several zombies.

"One by one," Elijah instructed Daisy, stopping her and picking up a stone from the roadside, tossing it far away.

The sound of the stone hitting the ground seemed particularly crisp in the silent night.

The two nearest zombies reacted to the sound and rushed towards them. However, upon reaching the source of the sound, they found nothing.

Puzzled, the two zombies stopped in place and began to wander unconsciously.

"One for each," Elijah gestured to Daisy, indicating that he would deal with one while she took care of the other.

Then the two quietly approached. It was Daisy's first time fighting zombies, and she was excited yet nervous, but not afraid.

She remembered Elijah's teachings and approached the zombie, focusing on its eyes.

This zombie seemed to have been bitten by someone, with half of its face missing, looking particularly terrifying.

Daisy completely ignored its appearance, focusing only on its vital points.

With a swift motion, her trekking pole traced a blur in the air.

"Splut!"

The tip of the pole instantly plunged into the zombie's eye socket.

The zombie couldn't even struggle, its brain mashed, emitting a low groan before collapsing to the ground.

Meanwhile, Elijah, who had been watching Daisy, saw her efficiently dispatch the zombie and followed suit with the one in front of him.

"Well done, be mindful of hiding!" Elijah called out to Daisy, hiding in a corner himself.

The only drawback of her ability was that if she wanted to attack something outside of the shadows, she had to come out of hiding, losing the concealment effect.

And to activate her ability again, she needed to pause for a dozen seconds or so.

It was somewhat similar to skills in a game, with cooldown times.

This was already quite good; as Elijah knew, most superpowers had some flaws, whether they were weak, impractical, or drained stamina heavily, making them unusable after a few uses.

Elijah's power was ineffective against humans at the first level, only working on zombies, but it changed at the second level.

Daisy's ability might not have this issue at the second level.

After waiting for a while without spotting any other zombies coming, Elijah instructed Daisy to keep watch while he dealt with the zombies' heads.

Unfortunately, neither of the two zombies had any corpse cores.

They continued on. Clearing a dozen or so zombies in this manner, they finally reached the main road of the neighborhood from the alley between buildings.

They also harvested two corpse cores. Hiding in the corner of a building closest to the neighborhood gate, they took a moment to rest and recover their strength while observing their surroundings.

At the entrance of the residential area, a dozen cars were jammed there, severely blocking the road, and some of the cars were even heavily deformed.

Struggling figures could still be seen in many of the cars, those were the zombies trapped inside.

And in the vicinity of this cluster of cars, there were still many zombies wandering around.

Elijah could imagine that after the virus outbreak, people in the neighborhood rushed to escape for their lives, competing to drive out.

As a result, drivers with similar ideas or encountering zombifications got stuck at the entrance of the residential area.

Perhaps there were many zombies chasing behind them, and some people, in their desperation, even resorted to ramming the cars in front, trying to create an escape route.

The result? Well, it was obvious.

Despite their relentless efforts, they only managed to block the exit of the residential area more securely, and not a single car could get out.

"Elijah, what should we do?"

"First, we need to gradually clear out the zombies, and then figure out a way to maneuver a car in and out."

Elijah didn't have a particularly good solution either.

The sidewalk at the entrance of the residential area was still passable on foot, but not for vehicles.

And this was just the entrance; Elijah knew there were even worse bottlenecks on the road. Unless they gave up driving and walked all the way!

But walking 30 kilometers, who knew what dangers they might encounter.

Cars not only carried supplies but more importantly ensured the safety of the people inside.

Following the same routine, Elijah and Daisy spent over an hour slowly clearing out the zombies that could move independently at the entrance of the residential area.

During this time, they also obtained three corpse cores, and Daisy's movements became more proficient.

Elijah piled all the zombie bodies into the shaded green belt, hoping for some reward in the future.

Then, with Daisy's assistance, they systematically killed all the trapped zombies inside the cars.

This part was much simpler; there was no need to hide their presence.

For those with open windows, Elijah directly stabbed them in the head and dragged the bodies out.

The same procedure applied to those whose doors could be opened.

For those whose doors couldn't be opened, Elijah smashed the glass with a crowbar and followed the same procedure.

Their activities attracted a few more zombies, but they were easily dealt with by the two.

"Ugh, I'm so tired! And hungry!"

After the busy work, Daisy plopped down on the ground.

Elijah also felt a bit hungry.

He had a much stronger physique than Daisy, so he didn't feel tired for the time being.

The main reason was the considerable energy consumption of his "invisibility" ability; otherwise, he wouldn't have felt hungry so quickly.

Fortunately, he was prepared and took out water and some chocolate and energy bars from his backpack.

"Great, we have something to eat!"

Seeing the food, Daisy's eyes lit up, and she immediately took off her gloves and started eating eagerly.

"Mmm, it's so delicious! It's been so long since I had chocolate!"

Daisy savored the burst of sweetness in her mouth.

"Later, we'll go to the convenience store at the entrance of the residential area, and you can eat to your heart's content!"

"Aren't the cars blocking the entrance?"

Daisy's mouth was full, but it didn't stop her from talking.

Elijah genuinely admired her!

"I've been thinking, let's not rush to move them. With the cars blocking, the zombies can't get in. It's getting late today; let's go to the supermarket first."

"Why wait? Let's go!"

Thinking of the variety of food in the supermarket, Daisy immediately became enthusiastic!

The convenience store was right at the entrance of the residential area. With their abilities, the two sneaked into the shadows and quickly arrived.

Seeing the convenience store's door wide open, Elijah cautiously observed for a moment.

The overall area of the convenience store was not large, with only two aisles, four large shelves, and the end was visible at a glance.

There were two employee zombies wandering inside.

Elijah and Daisy exchanged glances.

Daisy understood instantly.

Each one swiftly and decisively killed one.

Then Elijah closed the supermarket door, tied the handles of the two glass doors with rope for safety.

Seeing everything was secure, Daisy immediately took off her jacket and grabbed a box to fan herself.

"It's so hot, so hot!"

In the darkness, Elijah couldn't see very clearly, but he could discern that Daisy was only wearing a sports bra inside her jacket. Large patches of snow-white skin were directly exposed in front of him.

Elijah took out a flashlight, and the indoor immediately lit up, making the surroundings brighter.

Daisy's figure became clearer. With the light of the flashlight, he could see clearly that Daisy was only wearing a sports bra inside her jacket.

Delicate collarbones, flat abdomen, were all exposed. At this moment, due to long-term exercise, beads of sweat covered her snow-white skin.

"Aren't you hot, Elijah? I really want an ice pop and a cold drink!"

Daisy showed no awareness of exposing herself.

"I wasn't hot before, but seeing you... I feel a bit hot now!"
