Apocalypse Rebirth: Beauties Surround Me

Chapter 228: someone finally recognized Elijah

In reality, Kylie has undergone these changes because Elijah has been continuously feeding her second-tier corpse cores recently. She might advance to the third tier soon!

"How did Abigail lose so many times?"

Elijah stepped forward, his eyes scanning the two women. They were each wearing a set of light pajamas, their attractive figures largely exposed, making Elijah's heart race.

"Oh, Kylie looks a bit clueless, but I didn't expect her to be so good at cards. I'm done playing!"

Seeing Elijah approach, Abigail immediately put down her cards, tore off the losing slip from her face, and threw herself into Elijah's arms.

"Let's play something more interesting!"

Abigail's eyes sparkled; her once blood-red eyes, following Kylie's example, were now wearing black contact lenses, making her look like a normal person.

"Kylie is still here!"

Elijah grabbed her fidgeting little hands.

Kylie, standing by, had a calm expression, showing no reaction to Abigail's card-related antics. She seemed indifferent to the little actions of Abigail and Elijah.

"It doesn't matter, it's not an outsider!"

Elijah was teased!

What an outsider; you two really do have a sense of camaraderie!

But speaking of which, with Abigail and Kylie having intelligence, they should really be considered another species altogether. The question remains whether there is reproductive isolation between them and humans.

Hmm, worth studying!

With that thought, Elijah stopped dawdling and immersed himself in this new research!

Two days later!

After confirming that Lillian and Nora wouldn't be returning with him to Azure Isle, Elijah bid them farewell with Nora's reluctant goodbyes.

He set off with Kylie, Abigail, and the remaining eight high-quality zombies, retracing their path towards Azure Isle.

Compared to the journey here, although the number of zombies Elijah carried had decreased significantly, their quality had improved considerably.

Especially with Abigail, the third-tier big zombie, the others dared not approach.

However, Elijah still used his invisibility ability and proceeded stealthily.

They reached the coastal area in just two days, a shorter time than before. During the journey, Kylie finally consumed enough second-tier corpse cores to successfully advance to the third tier.

The third-tier Kylie not only had more terrifying abilities, but also, under Mind Stun, caused the surrounding zombies to avoid her.

Her appearance was more refined, her speech more lively, and she was almost indistinguishable from normal humans.

But how much of her former self remained, Elijah did not know!

As they got closer to Azure Isle, Elijah could clearly feel Kylie's emotions fluctuating significantly.

Unfortunately, due to the distance, Elijah could no longer use his mind-reading ability and didn't know what she was thinking.

By the afternoon of the second day, they finally reached the large shopping mall where Quentin and the others had transported supplies.

Elijah noticed people here who were clearly not from Azure Isle or Quentin's group. These people did not recognize Elijah upon seeing him.

If they were from Quentin's group, even if Elijah didn't recognize them, they should have recognized him.

Since they didn't recognize him, Elijah did not stop and continued straight towards Azure Isle.

The rest of the journey was much easier, with clear and unobstructed roads. Elijah even saw quite a few people traveling along this route.

To avoid causing a commotion, Elijah disguised the eight mutated zombies and walked to the intersection of the coastal highway. Here, someone finally recognized Elijah.

"Big Boss? You... are back?!"

A person who seemed to be leading a patrol team in the area, evidently a squad leader, rubbed his eyes in disbelief upon seeing Elijah, and then looked at him with great surprise.

"Big Boss? What a strange title."

Elijah looked puzzled at first, then he realized.

"You're one of Quentin's subordinates?"

"Yes, Big Boss. I followed Quentin back then. Do you remember me?"

"Yes, I remember. You're a squad leader now? Well done, keep it up!"

Elijah smiled slightly, though he had no actual recollection.

"Alright, Big Boss!"

The squad leader turned to his team and said, "This is the boss of Azure Isle, and also our boss . Greet him!"

The team, who had been looking at Elijah with curiosity, immediately shouted in unison, "Hello, Big Boss!"

"Good! Good! Good! You all continue working, I'm heading back to Azure Isle now!"

Elijah had a black line on his face and quickly turned to leave.

After Elijah left, the group immediately gathered and started discussing excitedly.

"So that's the boss of Azure Isle. I've heard the island is full of beautiful women! They're all Elijah's people!"

"I don't know about the rest, but just looking at these two women next to Elijah, they are really beautiful. I envy them so much..."

"Pfft, if you had the boss's strength, we women would naturally be eager to get close to you!"

A female team member scorned the men who were obviously impressed.

"Yeah, but I didn't expect Elijah to look quite handsome too!"

"Don't be infatuated!"

"Be careful, or the Big Boss might hear and send you away!"

The squad leader warned, and the others immediately fell silent. However, their gazes at Elijah remained unchanged, filled with envy, jealousy, and admiration.

"If you make some effort and find a spirit plant, or gather enough points, you can exchange them for awakening potions at Azure Isle. We insiders get discounts… Alright, continue with your patrol!"

The squad leader gave a few more instructions before organizing the team and continuing with their patrol.

Elijah didn't hear their discussions, or else his face would have been even darker!

As they got closer to Azure Isle, Elijah's own anticipation grew. He wondered how everyone had been during his absence. Did they miss him at all?

While Elijah was lost in thought, he suddenly sensed someone approaching him at high speed.

Through his mental link, he quickly figured out who it was.

Soon, the person was right beside him, but Abigail and Kylie seemed oblivious to the approach.

Suddenly, someone leaped out from the shadows behind Elijah, aiming a punch directly at his head.

Elijah seemed prepared for this, smiling slightly as he sidestepped, grabbed the fierce little fist, and pulled the person into his embrace.

"Using so much force, trying to murder your husband?"

Elijah exclaimed.

At this moment, Abigail and Kylie finally saw the figure and Abigail exclaimed in surprise, "Oh! It's Daisy!"

Daisy, caught by Elijah, did not struggle. She wrapped her long legs around Elijah's waist, her hands around his neck, and coyly said, "I was aiming at you, you unfaithful man. You've been gone so long and didn't send any news back!"

"But I'm back now. How did you find me?"

Elijah held her slender waist, marveling at Daisy's charming appearance, unable to get enough of her.

"We haven't been idle while you were gone. We've recently taken in some new people, and we happen to have someone with the Eye of the Sky ability!"

Daisy pouted, proudly saying.

"Eye of the Sky? I'd say it's more like an eagle eye; the thousand-mile thing sounds exaggerated!"

Elijah quickly cleared his thoughts!
