Chapter 75: I'm Shallow
"That's right, I was just about to ask on behalf of Hannah. As awakened individuals, how come your and Daisy's powers are so strong? Hannah is only slightly stronger than us, perhaps not even as strong as a laborer," Fiona said.
When they were moving weapons, Fiona and the others saw a huge axe.
They were curious if it was real, and if it was, how heavy it was.
So they tried to lift it, but it didn't budge.
Daisy saw it and picked it up effortlessly, stunning them.
That's when they learned that Daisy not only had a unique awakened ability but also had such incredible physical strength.
However, what surprised them even more was when Daisy mentioned Elijah could lift it with one hand, just to play around.
At that moment, Fiona suspected if Elijah's group had some method to enhance their strength. She looked at Elijah with anticipation.
"When someone awakens their ability, their physical qualities are greatly enhanced, far surpassing those of ordinary people. However, this change doesn't happen overnight; it requires time and gradual accumulation. Besides that, it can only be achieved through targeted training..."
Elijah briefly explained the changes after awakening.
These were common knowledge in his past life, but no one knew them now.
"So, do you have targeted training methods?" Fiona instantly understood.
"Yes, let me introduce you again!"
Elijah pointed at Charlotte.
"Charlotte is not only an awakened individual but also a martial arts teacher. She has a set of body forging techniques that can quickly enhance the strength of awakened individuals. My idea is to let her train all of you. Whether awakened or not, everyone should quickly master these techniques. At the same time, I want Charlotte to be in charge of the island's security."
Elijah paused, took out a handgun from his body, placed it on the coffee table, and slid it in front of Charlotte.
"I believe with this handgun, it will be difficult for ordinary people to hurt you!"
Elijah didn't ask her if she knew how to use it.
He understood Charlotte's abilities. Her mental introspection allowed her to be more familiar with her body than anyone else.
In terms of controlling and using her muscles and bones, no one was better than her.
And as for the handgun, it was just about being fast, accurate, and stable.
It was a piece of cake for her.
Charlotte picked up the gun and skillfully played with it.
As a martial arts enthusiast, she didn't reject modern weapons.
On the contrary, she knew more about them than Elijah did; it's just that she didn't dare to collect them.
Otherwise, her arsenal would have more than just those cold weapons.
"Do you two have any objections?"
Fiona curiously looked at Charlotte, who naturally had no objections and even eagerly anticipated it.
"Sounds good! I've already observed that there are cameras at various intersections on the island, and there are speakers for playing music. If it's just for vigilance, these are enough! We only need one person to watch over them. If we find any strangers coming in, we'll immediately notify everyone to hide, and I'll handle it!"
Charlotte's voice was cold, calm, and confident, leaving Fiona with no doubt. She was a woman who could do what she said!
"The surveillance is on the first floor of the hotel, with a dedicated control room, and the speakers are there too! Usually, there are people monitoring them."
Fiona confirmed the feasibility of Charlotte's plan.
"Alright, that settles the island security issue. As for the coastal service area, let Gabriel and Emily pay attention to it. If the situation is critical, they can withdraw directly to the island." MVLeMpYr-reader
With one arrangement confirmed, Elijah breathed a sigh of relief.
"Regarding the second point I mentioned earlier, Daisy and I will go out tomorrow to gather supplies, and you all should quickly enhance your strength on the island."
"Where are you going to collect supplies? Have you chosen?" Fiona asked.
"I'm not very familiar with the area around here. Do you have any suggestions?"
"I actually know of a good place." Fiona chuckled lightly. "From our coastal service area, about three or four kilometers westward, there's a large comprehensive mall. The underground is a large supermarket, the first floor has mobile phones, electronics, jewelry, cosmetics, and the second floor has a children's playground, children's clothing..."
Fiona knew everything about everything and quickly explained the product layout inside.
"Do you live there? You seem quite familiar!" Elijah thought this kind of socialite wouldn't go to such a common supermarket.
"My family doesn't live there, but our company owns that mall property!"
"..."
I'm so shallow!
"Usually, malls open after 9 a.m., so when the zombie virus broke out, there shouldn't have been any customers inside, only staff..."
Elijah pondered for a moment.
"With such a large supermarket, even if there are about a hundred staff, it's not too many. It's a good solution. It's also close by!"
With another task arranged, Elijah looked even more relaxed.
"How many corpse cores did you collect from yesterday?"
"We collected five!"
Fiona took out a bag from her purse containing five sparkling crystals.
Elijah didn't hesitate to take them.
He didn't have many now.
Zombie grass and Crystal Grass were big consumers; they had to feed them every few days.
"It looks like we need to specifically gather some corpse cores," Elijah calculated in his mind. "After three days when it grows four leaves, it can be used. You guys can decide who to use it on by then."
Fiona stared at the zombie grass with bright eyes, noticing that it wasn't the same one she saw yesterday.
It had just grown its second leaf, and the first leaf hadn't fully grown yet.
She wondered where they got this one from.
Though she thought about it, she replied seriously, "Okay!"
"This is compensation for your contribution of Crystal Grass. The five corpse cores can also be exchanged for a zombie grass, but we'll talk about it later when we have more."
What a pleasant surprise! Fiona thought he was going to take them for free!
Most of those corpse cores were obtained from the zombies Isaac and his group killed.
They were originally unexpected gains. But with Elijah's words, she immediately understood the value of corpse cores.
It's definitely not just for feeding zombies, right?
And judging from his confident demeanor, she could be sure they would get more zombie grass in the future.
Did he perhaps master the planting method?
Elijah couldn't have imagined that his brief remark would be guessed by Fiona almost perfectly.
"We'll keep this zombie grass for now and give it to you after three days," Elijah said as he put the zombie grass back in its place.
Afterward, the three of them discussed some personnel arrangements, with Daisy just idly listening.
Finally, when lunch was ready, everyone gathered in the dining room.
The villa was designed considering the possibility of having many people, with two dining tables: a small square one for four people, which could also be used for office work, relaxation, or tea, and a large rectangular one that comfortably seated ten people.
As the dishes were brought out, the meal was more sumptuous than ever before.
