Chapter 244: Take a photo
Elijah then had Abigail notify Daisy and Charlotte to come in. Meanwhile, Elijah took out a portable charger and started charging Elena’s phone.
"Oh, by the way, where did you get this handgun?"
While charging, Elijah accepted the handgun from Abigail. It was a Glock, an item clearly out of place in a school.
"That... Mason picked it up from some soldiers who came to the school looking for Elena!"
"Soldiers? How did they get here? What were they looking for Elena for?" Daisy, who had just entered, asked curiously.
"I heard... Elena’s father is a high-ranking officer in the military. He was the one who informed her to stockpile supplies and find a safe place with few people to hide! Not long after the zombie virus outbreak, a helicopter came to the school looking for Elena... that’s where the gun came from," Zoe stammered.
"And what happened to the people who came looking for Elena?"
"They’re all dead!"
Elijah’s intuition told him there were more secrets here. For instance, did the people who came by helicopter find Elena? How did they die? How did Elena come into conflict with these people? And why did these people kill Elena, leaving her with such intense resentment?
Zoe was avoiding the crucial details, even though she was telling the truth. The others also seemed uneasy and their eyes flickered while Zoe spoke...
But none of this mattered to Elijah. He was only interested in the truth about the virus outbreak and decided not to delve further.
Soon, Elena’s phone had enough power to turn on.
Elijah tried to unlock the phone, but he was immediately stumped!
"Do any of you know Elena’s phone password?"
"No!"
"No idea!"
"Then how did you check Elena’s phone before?" Elijah questioned Zoe.
"W-we... um, the phone can be unlocked with a fingerprint and face recognition!" Zoe still didn’t answer directly, but her words revealed everything!
"So you still need me to deal with the female zombie outside, huh?" Elijah said with annoyance.
With her little scheme exposed, Zoe dared not say another word.
"But now that I think about it, we do have a bait right here. Let’s give it a try!" Elijah said, looking at the unconscious Mason on the ground.
Zoe stepped back in fear.
Thankfully... thankfully, I threw Mason out at the start. Otherwise, I might have been the bait! Zoe thought with relief.
"Daisy, Charlotte, keep an eye on these people. I’m going outside to try something!"
"Be careful!" Charlotte nodded. Daisy wanted to follow but was held back by Charlotte, looking unhappy.
Elijah, carrying Mason, walked outside with Abigail and Kylie, along with seven zombies, heading toward the lake. He left the stealth zombie behind, knowing it wouldn’t be useful in the fight and losing it would be a great loss.
They soon reached a spot not far from the lakeshore. Elijah threw Mason to the ground, and the intense pain woke him up, making him scream, which immediately attracted the white-dressed female zombie in the lake.
She drifted across the ice, quickly reaching the lakeshore. She stared at Mason on the ground, her eyes filled with endless killing intent.
But then she glanced at Elijah and his group... or rather, Elijah’s zombies, and didn’t come ashore. Instead, she warily retreated to the center of the lake.
"Huh? This method isn’t working!" Elijah kicked Mason, accidentally knocking him out again.
"Damn it, you’re an awakened one, can’t you be a bit tougher?" Elijah complained, but soon he realized something.
Hmm~ Maybe it’s because we have too many third-tier zombies here? She might be scared to come over?
Elijah thought for a moment and then said to Abigail, "Abigail, go back to Charlotte and the others!"
"Huh? You’re not letting me fight the female zombie with you?" Abigail said, unhappy.
"You and Kylie are too strong. If you two stay here, she won’t dare come over!" Elijah flattered.
"Oh, so she’s a coward. Alright, it’s up to you two then!" Abigail pouted and turned to leave. Enjoy exclusive chapters from NovelBin.Côm
Elijah moved Mason closer to the lake, but the white-dressed female zombie in the center of the lake just stared at them without moving.
Seeing that they were almost at the lakeshore, the white-dressed female zombie finally spoke.
"Leave... here... none of your... business!"
Her voice was hoarse and broken, as if she hadn’t spoken in a long time.
"Uh... actually, I just want to take a photo with you. Do you believe me?" Elijah raised the phone and waved it at the white-dressed female zombie.
"Take a photo, do you know what that means?" Elijah repeated.
The white-dressed female zombie stared at Elijah with her blood-red eyes, as if looking at an idiot.
"Really, just a selfie, and I’ll leave!" Elijah insisted. Reasoning with a sentient zombie through conversation would be best, but if not, then he’d resort to force.
"Leave... here... step into... death!" The white-dressed female zombie ignored Elijah’s words, her eyes filled with murderous intent.
"Cut! As expected, wild zombies, even if they have intelligence, are not easy to deal with. In that case, sorry!"
After Elijah spoke, he sent a command to Kylie through their mental link. Kylie, without any hesitation, immediately unleashed her Mind Suppression!
The distance Kylie was at was just right to affect the white-clad female zombie with her Mind Suppression. If she had been any farther, the effect would have been minimal. This was also why Elijah had left Mason here.
A terrifying pressure was released, and while the third-tier female zombie was barely affected, Mason on the ground rolled his eyes, foamed at the mouth, and completely fainted. This kid was actually pretending to be unconscious!
However, Elijah didn’t have time to deal with him now. The white-clad female zombie was momentarily stunned by the Mind Suppression, and Elijah and the seven zombies lunged at her.
The few meters distance was crossed in an instant. Elijah reached out and grabbed the female zombie’s arm, then twisted it forcefully.
"Crack!"
The white-clad female zombie’s arm snapped with the sound!
At the same time, the fastest speed-ability zombie also arrived in front of the white-clad female zombie and delivered a lightning-fast kick to her leg.
With the explosive power of the speed zombie’s legs, if the kick landed, the white-clad female zombie’s leg would definitely be broken.
Elijah was also preparing to break her other arm to completely neutralize her combat ability.
But at that moment, seemingly affected by the broken arm, the white-clad female zombie suddenly regained her senses from Kylie’s Mind Suppression.
"Ah!"
