Apocalypse Rebirth: Beauties Surround Me

Chapter 161: These women, not a single one of them is simple

Elijah was caught off guard and felt embarrassed by Charlotte's remark. Charlotte didn't make it too awkward for him and continued, "So how do you plan to organize them?"

"I think the two of us should lead a team to clear the surrounding roads. First, it'll enhance the safety zone around our shore service area. Second, it'll widen the paths for future travel. Third, there are fewer zombies on the coastal road, making it suitable for training newcomers."

"Sounds good! When do we start?"

"How about this afternoon?"

"Alright, let's wait for them to finish cleaning up and then prepare to leave!"

After their discussion, when the women had finished cleaning up, Elijah explained the plan he had discussed with Charlotte to everyone. He also announced the first group of people selected for the expedition.

First was Olivia, who had perception abilities. In an exploration team during the apocalypse, perception abilities were crucial as they could predict dangers in advance, significantly improving the team's survival rate.

Next was Grace, who had lightning abilities. Her potential was considerable, and Elijah planned to train her to become a formidable expert who could lead a team alone, much like Daisy in the future.

Lastly, there was Katherine, who had plant-based abilities. While her abilities might not be particularly effective against zombies, her enhanced physical abilities made Elijah want to train her to ensure she could protect herself.

Together with Elijah and Charlotte, they formed a team of five.

Meanwhile, Bella and Jasmine would stay on the island. Abigail would lead four female zombies to protect them.

The reactions from the women varied.

Olivia was nervous because she had never fought zombies before and had always avoided them, feeling somewhat fearful inside.

Katherine and Grace, on the other hand, were eager to try.

They had already cleared zombies under Fiona's command with Hannah before Elijah arrived on the island.

Although they had relied on Hannah's abilities, they had also overcome their fear of zombies.

Jasmine naturally breathed a sigh of relief. As an ordinary person without abilities and having never faced zombies, she had guessed Elijah's plan. If she awakened abilities, she would probably also go out for training, so she mentally prepared herself.

Bella felt warm inside, understanding that Elijah had intentionally left her on the island. But after these days, she had seen through things and knew she couldn't always rely on others' protection.

"Elijah, I want to go too!" Bella said firmly.

Elijah looked surprised at Bella and, after seeing her determined gaze, pondered for a moment. "If you insist, then alright!"

Yesterday, Elijah would have firmly disagreed. But today, having advanced to the third tier, Elijah had solidified Bella's healing abilities. Bella was still incredibly important to him, but compared to before, he believed she could handle some risks.

Upon hearing Elijah's response, Bella smiled broadly.

At that moment, with everyone going out for training, Jasmine was left alone on the island and felt somewhat conflicted.

"Since everyone is going out for training, Aunt Jasmine, you don't need to stay on the island. Go to the shore service area with Gabriel and help unload cargo!" Elijah suggested.

"Okay!" Jasmine nodded repeatedly.

After finalizing their preparations, the women changed into jeans and Martin boots, looking smart and sharp. Charlotte especially stood out in the stab-proof suit Elijah had brought from the police station, looking both cool and fierce.

They each armed themselves with their respective weapons.

To Elijah's surprise, Olivia's weapon was a compound bow, which looked somewhat familiar—it seemed to have been confiscated from the telepathic abilities wielder in their community.

Along with the bow and arrows, Olivia had equipped herself appropriately, making it clear she was prepared for real combat.

Olivia's ability allowed her to perceive living beings within a 20-meter range, regardless of obstacles. With good accuracy, a bow and arrow were indeed a suitable choice within this range.

Elijah nodded to himself. Seeing that everyone was ready, he instructed Abigail to stay with four female zombies to guard the area. Then he addressed the women, "Are you all ready? Let's go!"

This time, Elijah drove the escort vehicle. After everyone took their seats, he started the vehicle and headed towards the shore service area.

Arriving at the shore service area, Elijah drove straight to the warehouse where Gabriel and the others were unloading.

Gabriel saw Elijah and hurriedly set down what he was doing to run over.

"Brother-in-law, are you guys heading out?"

"Yes, I'm planning to take a team to clear out all the zombies within a few kilometers nearby. It will serve as both a training exercise for handling zombies and establishing a quarantine zone to safeguard the safety area by the shore!"

"Brother-in-law, do you need me to come along too?"

Upon hearing this, Gabriel was eager to try. Last night he awakened his abilities and tested them on Emily, gaining enhanced abdominal strength that made Emily cry and beg for mercy. It greatly satisfied his vanity, and now he wanted to see if facing zombies would be equally impressive.

"Never mind, first assist Fiona and the others in unloading the goods from the mall. You can join the next batch."

"Alright, brother-in-law!"

Gabriel had no objections.

"By the way, Aunt Jasmine hasn't awakened yet, so she won't be coming with us. I'll leave her alone on the island, but I'm still concerned. I'll have her help out here in the afternoon."

Elijah pointed to Jasmine standing beside him.

"Got it, brother-in-law. Don't worry, I'll take care of Aunt Jasmine!"

"Stay safe!"

Jasmine looked affectionately at Elijah, then swiftly kissed him in front of everyone.

"..."

These women, not a single one of them is simple!

Elijah sighed inwardly.

"We'll be careful. Let's go!"

Elijah turned back to the car. With the women watching expressionlessly, he started the vehicle and headed out.

When they reached the Coastal Avenue, Elijah stopped. The women got out one by one.

"Olivia, keep watch. Report immediately if there are any zombies able to move freely. Everyone else, arm yourselves and get ready for combat!"

After giving the orders, Elijah took the lead.

There were many vehicles parked on the eight-lane Coastal Avenue.

Elijah and Daisy had cleaned up once before, but that only dealt with zombies that could move freely; they hadn't bothered with those that were still inside vehicles that passed by.

"Our task now is to clear out all the zombies within a two-kilometer radius from here to the street leading to the mall. We'll also use vehicles and the median barriers to establish a secure area!"

"Currently, there aren't many zombies in this area; most are still inside vehicles. This is a good opportunity for you all to practice your courage!"
