Apocalypse Rebirth: Beauties Surround Me

Chapter 135: I like that title

He realized that he had been protecting the women too well all this time.

With their abilities awakening and the practice of body-strengthening techniques, their strength had made a qualitative leap.

Ordinary zombies and survivors could no longer pose a threat to them.

Even if they encountered mutated zombies, they should have no problem escaping.

Elijah felt a bit melancholic, as if his children were finally going out to explore the world on their own.

However, this should be the norm in the apocalypse.

"Alright!" Elijah nodded in agreement.

Thinking about children going out to explore, Elijah thought of Daisy, who hadn't returned for two days and nights.

If he couldn't sense Daisy's approximate location and her constant movement, he would have been really worried that something had happened to her.

Maybe he should go check on her later! Elijah thought.

"Since it's decided, then for the rest of the afternoon, let Hannah accompany you to get familiar with things. I'll take the two cows back first and bring the zombies away as well!" Elijah announced his decision.

"Huh? Elijah is leaving?" At this moment, Lily returned. She had herded the two cows into the car.

"Yes!" Elijah repeated Fiona's suggestion.

"Oh, I see! Elijah, don't worry about us, we'll be fine!"

Lily patted her chest, causing a slight tremor. Elijah's eyes couldn't help but linger, reminiscing about the scene of Lily pressing her head against him that morning.

Hmm, he needed to find an opportunity to take Lily down and enjoy her ample bosom.

Surely, Lily wouldn't refuse... Several thoughts ran through Elijah's mind before he finally reluctantly looked away under Fiona's intense gaze.

Since he had decided to leave, he had to deal with the controlled zombies.

Elijah decided to give up a few.

As they returned to the warehouse entrance, the zombies he controlled came back one after another.

Eight zombies lined up in a row, including the first wild mutated female zombie he controlled, whose ability was visual perception.

There were three zombies whose abilities awakened yesterday and four that mutated today.

Unfortunately, except for Abigail, none of the eight zombies showed signs of regaining intelligence. However, recently, although Abigail still didn't talk much, Elijah felt that her eyes were becoming more lively, not as dull as before.

"How are you going to transport so many zombies? Especially that huge one?" Fiona looked at the neatly arranged eight female zombies.

"Don't need it! My contract quota is full now. I need to give up a few zombies to contract Sophia and use her ability!"

Elijah walked around the female zombies, deciding to give up the giant zombie and the defense zombie.

As for the plant zombie... forget it, turning entirely green was out of the question!

Elijah controlled the claw zombie and killed three zombies, reclaiming their corpse cores.

Then he had the remaining five zombies get into the car, squeezing in with the calves.

The two calves, seeing the five zombies, became restless but didn't dare to move rashly as they were surrounded, so they huddled quietly in the corner.

Elijah nodded in satisfaction, closed the car door, and sat with Abigail in the driver's and passenger's seats.

"I'll head back first. You three, stay safe!"

Elijah waved to the three women, started the car, and quickly returned to the riverside service area.

Gabriel, Emily, and Xavier were unloading the supplies brought back earlier.

Without the physique of awakened ones, they moved the goods relatively slowly.

Gabriel and Emily had slightly improved their physiques through days of body-strengthening exercises.

Xavier relied entirely on his original physical fitness and was already panting from exhaustion, but he gritted his teeth and kept going without complaining.

This earned Gabriel's admiration.

"Take a break!" Elijah got out of the car and handed them a few bottles of chilled drinks.

"Thank you, brother-in-law!" Gabriel took the drink and handed it to Emily and Xavier.

Emily also sweetly said, "Thank you, brother-in-law!" That was a perfect example of marital harmony!

Gabriel saw Xavier dumbly accepting the drink without saying anything and smacked his head. "Say something!"

"Huh? Oh! Thank you, brother-in-law!" Xavier stammered.

"Mm?" Elijah looked at him in confusion. Xavier realized he had called him wrong and immediately blushed. Unexpectedly, Elijah smiled brightly, "I like that title. Say it again!"

Xavier, ultimately too shy, couldn't call out again.

Elijah didn't mind and instead said to Gabriel, "Xavier is still young, so he doesn't need to do manual labor all the time. Teach him more about the body-strengthening techniques."

With Charlotte's explanation, Elijah had understood that the body-strengthening technique was specifically designed for ordinary people.

Those like him, who had awakened powers, could learn the Hun Yuan Technique through Charlotte's guidance, but what about those who hadn't awakened?

The body-strengthening technique could help ordinary people absorb Chi into their bodies, and with continued practice, it could integrate into their system.

With consistent effort over a few years, even an ordinary person with good aptitude could gradually develop a sense of Chi.

At this point, if they had a master to guide them, they could also successfully practice the Hun Yuan Technique.

"I've tried to convince him, but this little guy is pretty stubborn! He insists on working alongside us!" Gabriel laughed, his eyes showing a hint of admiration.

"Stubborn, huh? Well, I've brought back two stubborn things. Let him take care of them!" Elijah opened the car door, and Gabriel and the others were stunned.

"Cows?"

"Where did you get these?"

"It's unbelievable! In a city where you can hardly find living people, there are cows!"

"I traded for them," Elijah said as he let the zombies out of the car.

Xavier watched in amazement.

He had previously been curious about Elijah's ability and had asked Gabriel, so he wasn't too surprised to see zombies in the car.

He just thought to himself that only those contracted by Elijah were truly part of this team.

When would he be contracted? Did he really have to call him brother-in-law again?

Since finding out that Elijah could awaken ordinary people, Xavier had no intention of leaving.

Even if he were to leave, it would be after he had awakened.

"These two cows are your responsibility to feed. There are plenty of grassy areas around, so just take them out and let them graze."

"Okay, brother-in-law!" Gabriel nodded and then, seeing Xavier still in a daze, smacked him on the head again.

"This job is yours. Say something!"

"Okay, brother-in-law!" Xavier blurted out instinctively.

"Mm!" Elijah nodded in satisfaction. Although Xavier still felt a bit awkward calling him brother-in-law, it was less so than before.

He couldn't help but speak up again, "Brother-in-law, when will you contract me?"

Indeed, this kind of thing was like cross-dressing; after the first and second times, the third time came naturally.

"Oh, right!" Elijah slapped his forehead. "I almost forgot about that!"

Elijah made a small cut, squeezed some blood into a bottle of drink, and handed it to Xavier. "Here, drink this." He then switched to Bella's ability, and the wound healed instantly.

"Okay, brother-in-law!" Xavier took the drink and gulped down most of it. Elijah immediately sensed a link forming between him and Xavier.

"Alright, you guys carry on. I'm going back to the island!" Elijah said, letting the zombies back into the car and driving towards the island.

Once back on the island, Elijah drove straight to the villa. He then carried the zombie grass into the spirit plants cultivation room.
