Apocalypse Rebirth: Beauties Surround Me

Chapter 29: could he be incapable

Elijah pondered silently, but he couldn't recall ever meeting a woman like her.

Once both of them were inside, Charlotte closed the door and lit a candle.

The pitch-black room immediately illuminated with a dim yellow light.

Elijah then got a clear look at Charlotte's appearance.

She wore loose home clothes that didn't reveal much about her figure, but her long legs hinted at her attractiveness.

Her facial features weren't as gentle as Daisy's nor as refined as Bella's.

They had a slightly rugged outline, with sharp eyebrows and eyes, yet they also exuded a distinctly feminine beauty, preventing any gender confusion.

Her hair was tied back in a ponytail, giving off an aura of elegance and composure. While Elijah observed her, Charlotte was silently assessing the two of them.

Daisy spoke first, her energetic voice crisp and charming. "Charlotte, did you kill the zombies outside?"

"Yeah," Charlotte responded.

"I knew it! Charlotte, you're amazing!"

"You're amazing too! Venturing outside at this hour!"

Charlotte affectionately patted Daisy's head.

"Humph! That's because I awakened superpowers!"

Daisy boasted proudly, like a child showing off to her parents.

Charlotte pretended to be surprised. "Superpowers?"

"Yeah!" Daisy chirped, describing her abilities without revealing Elijah's.

Elijah didn't intervene, seeing Daisy's considerable trust in Charlotte.

"No wonder you can run over here late at night. Your boyfriend... he's awakened superpowers too, right?" Charlotte suddenly turned to Elijah.

"You could say that," Elijah replied with a faint smile. From her unsurprised expression, he had already guessed.

"Charlotte, you've awakened abilities too?" Daisy was astonished.

Charlotte just smiled without answering, then asked, "Why didn't I know when you started dating? What about Abigail?"

"Abigail... she..." Daisy's mood dampened, and Charlotte immediately understood, comforting her, "Everyone has their fate. We're lucky to be alive. There's no need to be too sad. Abigail would surely want you to live happily."

"Yeah..." Daisy nodded, then asked about Charlotte's parents.

"I buried them in the garden," Charlotte replied casually, as if it were a trivial matter. But Elijah could sense the strength in her words.

He also understood what had happened to the zombies outside.

Being willing to risk their lives to bury their parents showed much more filial piety than displaying any outward signs of grief.

"Hmm... Uncle, Aunt..." Daisy, feeling sad, couldn't help but think of her own parents, which made her even sadder.

"Alright, I didn't get too sad, look at you..." Charlotte embraced Daisy, comforting her, while her gaze shifted to Elijah, changing the subject.

"You two came here risking danger late at night, must not be just to see me, right?"

"Um, well... Daisy said you have real cold weapons here... we don't have suitable weapons, so we came to take a look!" Elijah explained.

"I see... that's not impossible!" Charlotte pondered for a moment. "Come with me, see what you want?"

She picked up the candle and headed to the stairs, where there were stairs leading upwards and also to the basement.

Charlotte turned into the basement, followed by Elijah and Daisy.

In the basement, it was quite spacious, with the faint candlelight illuminating only a small area. Elijah looked around; this place seemed to have been renovated.

Originally, it was unclear what it looked like, but now it resembled a dance or martial arts studio.

And at the innermost wall stood several huge wooden racks, on which lay numerous weapons, ones that could only be seen in martial arts movies or anime.

"Knives, swords, spears, axes, hooks, and halberds..." Indeed, there was every kind of weapon!

Elijah spotted seven or eight knives among them.

Apart from the most common large hoop knives, there were also Japanese samurai swords, curved knives, horse-cutting swords, and simple knives, among others.

"Are these all real?" Elijah was somewhat incredulous.

There were nearly a hundred weapons in total, each type having seven or eight pieces.

What kind of person would collect so many real weapons?

"You can pick them up and see for yourself!" Charlotte snorted.

She didn't care about anything else, but when it came to weapons, she didn't allow others to question.

"Charlotte is a martial arts fanatic; she has loved playing with weapons since she was a child. Don't doubt her weapons; it took her many years to collect them!" Daisy whispered to Elijah.

Elijah nodded, walked to the weapon rack, and picked up the heaviest weapon, the axe Daisy had mentioned.

The axe was somewhat exaggerated in shape, resembling a crescent moon, with one large and one small blade, a handle about five feet long, made of metal, and there was no visible welding point at the connection between the axe head and the handle, as if it were cast as a whole.

After Elijah picked it up, he realized it was indeed very heavy.

He could only lift it with one hand, and swinging it would require both hands on the handle.

"This must weigh at least a hundred pounds. It's really made of solid material. With this weight, even without an edge, swinging it, if it hits, would maim if not kill!"

Elijah marveled, liking it very much.

If he were to use it to chop zombies, one after another, not a single zombie could withstand two blows.

But it was too heavy, inconvenient to carry, and not suitable for long-term combat, which would be a huge drain on stamina.

Charlotte, standing beside him, was already stunned by his ability to pick up the axe with one hand.

When she saw him grip the axe with both hands and swing it freely, her eyes seemed to sparkle.

"How about that, isn't Elijah amazing!" Daisy, looking at Charlotte's astonished expression, smiled triumphantly.

"Wow! Where did you find such a boyfriend? You haven't even told us yet!"

Charlotte quickly suppressed her surprised expression, but her eyes remained fixed on Elijah.

"It's just... just my upstairs neighbor, he agreed to cook for me, so I made him my boyfriend!" Daisy replied awkwardly.

"Huh?" Charlotte was shocked by Daisy's bizarre logic!

"You... you!" She didn't know what else to say!

"Did he bully you?"

"Hmph! I'm not stupid. Oh, speaking of which, I haven't given him today's girlfriend benefits yet!"

"What benefits?" Charlotte was a bit lost.

"Just kisses! Being his girlfriend, I have to give him some benefits, like kissing him every day!"

"That's it?"

"Yeah!"

Charlotte immediately thought Elijah was not bad. Facing such a beauty like Daisy, he only needed kisses.

If I were Daisy's boyfriend, I wouldn't just settle for kisses.

This Elijah... could he be... incapable?
