Apocalypse Rebirth: Beauties Surround Me

Two bone spurs danced like nimble sprites, weaving in and out of the eye sockets of the zombies.

The zombies fell like harvested wheat, collapsing in unison.

Lily and Sophia gasped in astonishment.

"Amazing!"

Lily murmured.

With her own formidable strength, she could also kill these zombies, but her efficiency was nowhere near Fiona's.

And the process would inevitably be messy with blood splattering everywhere, unlike Fiona's graceful and cool display.

"What use is my strength!"

She couldn't help but complain.

"No, it's still very useful in many aspects!"

Elijah couldn't help but respond.

Lily shot him a reproachful look.

Unconsciously, she recalled what Elijah said last night.

He told her to relax a bit!

Otherwise, he'd be immobilized!

In Lily's state of extreme tension.

Even an iron rod would be ground into a needle!

But it was indeed very comfortable!

Elijah couldn't help but click his tongue in admiration.

"Sister Fiona's graceful and cool moves are so similar to that... that guy in Guardians of the Galaxy!"

Sophia, unaware of the cryptic exchange between Lily and Elijah, simply admired Fiona's swift zombie-slaying like wheat harvesting.

"His are arrows, mine are different!"

Fiona replied, as the two bone spurs flew back to her side, hovering quietly. Before her, there was not a single zombie left standing.

"Graceful indeed, but the consumption of mental energy is enormous!"

Fiona sighed.

"If another dozen or so come, I would have to retreat while fighting!"

"That's already impressive!"

Elijah consoled.

"Yeah, yeah, if I had Sister Fiona's ability, I'd be laughing in my dreams!"

Sophia nodded in agreement.

"Your sensing ability is also great, indispensable to the team!"

"Alright, stop flattering each other, quickly extract the corpse cores and continue clearing the road!"

Elijah stopped their conversation.

"I need to rest for a bit!"

Fiona held her forehead.

"Okay!"

Elijah pouted, knowing Fiona didn't want to do the dirty work.

When they first met, he didn't notice it, but as they got to know each other, she gradually revealed her true nature, and her princess-like airs would occasionally slip out.

Elijah even suspected she intentionally went on a killing spree to find an excuse to avoid extracting the corpse cores.

Look at Hannah, she's so diligent!

Just as Elijah thought this, he noticed Hannah asking Lily to split the zombies' heads open, then using her freezing ability to cover her hand with ice before stirring inside the zombie's brain to find the corpse core.

Alright, she's also a clean freak, but at least she uses a method!

Elijah didn't stay idle either, he swiftly and neatly smashed open the zombies' skulls.

After extracting the cores, they threw the zombies' bodies into the roadside greenery, piling them up together.

Hoping one day, beautiful plants might grow from them.

After finishing, Elijah and his group continued southward, clearing the road and killing zombies along the way.

After adapting yesterday, Sophia was no longer scared of the zombies. Today, she was becoming more skilled in killing them.

By noon, they could already see the gas station from a distance.

Elijah didn't rush. He led the group to a nearby safe shop, locked the door, and began to rest, eating some food to replenish their energy.

After resting for a while, while Lily was using the restroom, Fiona sidled up to Elijah and whispered softly, "Did you conquer Lily last night?"

"How did you know?" Elijah was surprised.

"Pfft, Lily's been giving you some strange looks today!" Fiona rolled her eyes at him.

"Uh... I didn't notice anything unusual," Elijah replied innocently.

"Men are really clueless sometimes. Tell me, how did Lily's face wash feel?"

"Smothering!" Experience more at m_vl-em,pyr

"..."

"So I washed somewhere else!"

"..."

Fiona scrutinized Elijah up and down.

"You seem to be having quite the fun!"

"Jealous? If you had enough volume, we could try it too! But you definitely can't beat Lily; her packaging is perfect, especially visually..." Elijah reminisced.

"I'm so sorry!" Fiona huffed.

"Oh, by the way, just to let you know, I'm on my period for the next week, so don't bother me, and the same goes for Hannah!"

"..."

This time Elijah was speechless!

But soon he thought it was probably for the best. Otherwise, he'd really be overwhelmed.

Just then, Lily returned, and the two stopped discussing the topic.

However, Lily couldn't shake the feeling that Fiona was giving her strange looks.

After a short rest, they resumed their cleanup efforts.

They arrived at the gas station smoothly along the way.

The gas station's employees had also turned into zombies; there wasn't a single living person, easily taken care of by Elijah and his team.

"The gas station is a great place. Not only do they have gasoline and diesel, but also a convenience store with quite a lot of food and drinks!" Sophia wandered into the convenience supermarket of the gas station, marveling.

"Yeah, we should bring back the stuff from the supermarket. As for gasoline and diesel... we don't have enough containers to store them. It's better to leave them here, but we'll need someone to guard them!" Elijah contemplated, thinking of who would be suitable.

The person should ideally be an Awakener, capable of handling emergencies alone.

Gabriel was actually the best candidate; he had awakened two days ago and his abilities suited... to escape and report!

Next choices could be Daisy, Charlotte, or Grace?

Well... maybe not Grace; her abilities could accidentally set the gas station on fire.

"Who should we get to guard? I actually have the perfect candidate!" Fiona suddenly spoke up.

"Who?"

"Aren't you recruiting a bunch of newbies? What are they for?" Fiona smirked.

"Right!" Elijah suddenly realized.

When they returned, he would give Quentin's team a bottle of awakening potion. He would definitely implant the Seed of Consciousness into it.

This way, he could gradually control the mid-to-high level members of Quentin's team and truly control Quentin's team.

He could totally let the newly awakened person guard the gas station. Just give them a certain amount of gasoline and diesel allocation, and with someone implanted with the Seed of Consciousness watching, he wouldn't have to worry about Quentin's people cheating and taking extra gasoline or diesel.

"Let's do that! Next, let's pack up the supplies from this convenience store!" Elijah nodded in satisfaction.

Just then, Sophia approached Elijah nervously and whispered, "Elijah, I think I sensed someone southwest of here just now, but now I can't sense them anymore!"

Elijah immediately switched to Sophia's ability, scanning southward, but didn't find any suspicious figures.

However, he didn't doubt Sophia's words; after all, she could only sense active biological movements, and if someone stayed still, they would disappear from her sensory field.

"It's okay. You guys pack up the supplies first; I'll monitor the surroundings."
