Apocalypse Rebirth: Beauties Surround Me

Chapter 35  It's all about intelligence

Elijah rubbed his chin, recalling a certain plan he had used in his previous life.

"Let's go, let's go back and find a car with zombies in it!"

Daisy followed Elijah back for a short distance.

Along the way, there were scattered cars, most of which were trapped with zombies inside.

Elijah found the nearest car, an SUV with its window half open.

The driver inside had already turned into a zombie, sitting dumbly inside.

Elijah deactivated his stealth mode, and the zombie in the car immediately noticed him, struggling violently, mouth wide open, emitting a hideous roar.

Elijah bit his finger, flicked a drop of blood into the zombie's mouth, and controlled it.

The zombie driver quieted down.

Elijah opened the car door and looked inside. It was an automatic transmission, which felt lucky.

They didn't need to change cars again!

Then, he took out some duct tape and firmly tied the zombie's right foot to the accelerator.

Its hands were also tied to the steering wheel, with one hand specifically stuck to the middle of the horn.

"Elijah, what are you doing?" Daisy looked puzzled.

"You'll see soon enough."

Elijah smiled mysteriously, gesturing for Daisy to stand back a bit.

He turned the key to try to start the vehicle.

Fortunately, the engine started humming.

The headlights lit up the road ahead, illuminating a small area.

There happened to be a zombie there, seeming a little dazed by the sudden light, standing still without moving.

Elijah closed the car door, activated his stealth ability, and hid with Daisy to the side.

Then, he concentrated on controlling the zombie inside the car. n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om

He gently pressed down with the right foot and adjusted the steering wheel.

The vehicle began to accelerate.

At this moment, the zombie in front finally reacted, rushing towards the car with teeth bared and claws outstretched.

"Bang!" The car knocked down the zombie, directly running over it.

The noise gradually attracted the nearby zombies, and they began to run over to this side.

Elijah couldn't control the zombies very precisely; he could only give simple commands like which foot to use and whether to move the hands up or down.

Therefore, the car drove in a wobbly manner, sometimes fast and sometimes slow. But fortunately, it slowly entered the opposite lane.

As the school location got closer, Elijah commanded the zombie to use its right hand to press the horn forcefully while stepping on the accelerator with its right foot.

The quiet night was immediately filled with the piercing sound of the horn and the roar of the engine.

The SUV accelerated, and the crowd of zombies at the school gate began to stir.

The car sped up, and the sporadic zombies in its path were knocked down without slowing it down.

With the screech of the horn, it passed through the school gate. The crowd of zombies was in an uproar, crazily running towards the vehicle.

Elijah and Daisy followed slowly behind the horde.

As they saw the vehicle getting farther and farther away, Elijah could no longer discern the road conditions ahead.

He simply didn't care anymore, letting the vehicle accelerate forward.

Soon, there was a loud "bang" in the distance!

The SUV seemed to have crashed into a car, stopping abruptly.

But the horn survived, still blaring tirelessly.

"Elijah, you're amazing! How did you come up with this method? Especially using zombies as cannon fodder!" Daisy looked at the empty school gate in admiration.

"It's all about intelligence!" Elijah pointed to his head.

He had actually encountered some lunatics doing this in his past life.

Except it was done by living people.

And there were two cars.

The front one was specially honking to attract the zombies away, while the one behind took the opportunity to stop at some supermarkets and liquor stores, crazily scavenging for supplies.

The risks for the front car were extremely high, and it might not return once it went out.

Elijah, after seeing this, learned from it and tried using zombies as drivers.

The effect wasn't as good as with real people, but it still benefited him a lot.

"Haha, I knew you were clever!" Daisy smirked, leading the way ahead.

They tried to avoid the teaching building as much as possible, taking some secluded routes.

Turning left and right, they soon arrived at Charlotte's house!

Outside, several dead zombies had their heads smashed open, done by Elijah yesterday when he left, but unfortunately, there was no harvest.

This time, without waiting for Daisy to knock, Charlotte opened the door first.

"I faintly heard the sound of car horns coming from the direction of the school gate, so I guessed you were coming soon!"

Charlotte said while letting the two in and closing the door.

"It was Elijah's idea to use controlled zombies as drivers to lead the zombies away from the school gate!"

Daisy quickly recounted the situation as if pouring beans from a bamboo tube.

Charlotte's eyes had a touch of admiration when she looked at Elijah.

He indeed had some quick wit!

"By the way, we brought you some food!"

Immediately, Daisy emptied her backpack, scattering a large amount of chocolate, Snickers, marinated eggs, and chicken legs on the sofa.

Because they knew Charlotte wasn't short on water, they only brought food.

"Thank you, you're thoughtful!"

"We're all family, no need to thank!"

Elijah also emptied some of his backpack, leaving only half for them to eat on the way.

"Family?" Charlotte chuckled.

"Then I won't be polite!"

"Right, Charlotte sis, no need for politeness!"

Daisy unzipped her jacket without hesitation, picked up Charlotte's fan, and started fanning herself. It's so hot!

Charlotte looked at Daisy's upper body clad only in underwear, then at Elijah, who was staring without looking away... So, this was their version of impoliteness?

Charlotte shook her head, creating some distance between them.

Only when Elijah's gaze fell on her did she calmly ask, "Are you here to scout tonight?"

"Yes, we've confirmed the route from here to the school gate. When we come back, we'll come to get you!"

"How long will it take?"

"If everything goes smoothly, we can make it tonight. If not, maybe tomorrow night, plus the return journey, the day after tomorrow or the day after."

"Do you need this long considering your abilities and the distance?"

Charlotte hadn't asked about their destination yesterday, but now, hearing Elijah's explanation, she became curious.

"Normally not far, but with zombies outside, we can only move at night! So it takes some time!"

"I'll wait for you to come pick me up, and I'll give you a surprise then!"

"A surprise? Can't you tell me now?"

Elijah was somewhat surprised.

"Nope!"

 Charlotte shook her head.

"Alright, I look forward to whatever surprise you have for me!" Elijah stood up, packing his bag. "Daisy, let's go!"

"Hmm, so soon to set off again?" Daisy reluctantly adjusted her clothes.

"Goodbye, Charlotte sis, we'll come get you!"

"Be careful on the road!"

After leaving Charlotte's house, Elijah and Daisy's figures quickly merged into the night, disappearing before her.

"What amazing abilities! But... mine aren't bad either!"

Charlotte closed the door and headed towards the basement.

Faint whispers could be heard. "This world is getting more interesting..."
