Apocalypse Rebirth: Beauties Surround Me

Chapter 248: Serenity Peak

Elijah kept his promise, as he would need to continue gaining the trust of the white-clad female zombie, Elena, to obtain more information about the virus outbreak.

At this moment, Daisy and Charlotte arrived. Elijah handed the phone to Charlotte, asking her to check its contents.

He then squatted next to Elena and said, "You need to remove the ice from this leg. While I treat it, I might need to reset the bones, so please try not to move!"

Elena did not respond verbally. However, due to Elijah's earlier action of taking a photo, she was inclined to trust him a little.

After a moment of hesitation, she finally removed the ice from her leg. Find your next read on M V L

The ice had been applied swiftly after Elijah injured her, to alleviate pain and prevent blood loss.

As the ice melted, it revealed the pale, frozen wound and the disturbing broken bones within.

Elijah felt no embarrassment at the sight. In a fight, showing mercy could mean being the one injured.

He examined the wound and began resetting the bones. Throughout the process, Elena remained still, only slightly frowning.

Soon, she relaxed her expression, and her hostility toward Elijah diminished somewhat.

Elijah placed his hands over Elena's wound, and a faint white light began to heal it, followed by repairing the bones internally and externally.

He continued until he felt the bones were fully healed.

"All done. Your leg should be fine now. Try moving it a bit to see how it feels!" Elijah said.

Elena tentatively bent and stretched her leg, finding it to be as flexible and functional as before, with no stiffness or difficulty.

She looked at Elijah, wondering if he was truly trustworthy.

If she had agreed to the photo request from the start, would things have turned out differently?

Elena's doubts were, in fact, subtly suggested by Elijah.

"Elijah, come over here!" Charlotte called out, having made a discovery.

Elijah walked over to Charlotte and Daisy, and the three of them peered at Elena's phone screen.

The phone displayed a top-down view of what appeared to be a street in A country, as evidenced by the surrounding buildings bearing A country's text.

The street was overrun with zombies, attacking and devouring normal humans.

The scene resembled what Elijah had seen when he first woke up in his neighborhood, but the number of zombies here was much larger—like sardines, densely packed.

"This looks like a satellite photo. It's likely that the zombie virus had just begun to spread, so the concentration of Chi in the air wasn't high yet, and communications weren't fully disrupted… that's why the military could still receive these photos!" Elijah speculated.

"There's more!" Charlotte said, swiping to the next photo. It was a similar scene but from a different angle.

Charlotte continued swiping. After two more similar photos, the content changed to an image of an endless ocean.

Several fully-armed warships were firing shells in the same direction, but there was nothing visible in that direction… or rather, there was something.

It was a fog. Due to the angle and distance, the photo didn't reveal what was within the fog.

"What are the A country's warships attacking?" Elijah wondered aloud.

The next photo answered Elijah's question.

This photo appears to capture the mist specifically. It's much clearer than the last one, and you can vaguely see the outline of a mountain!

"They're attacking a mountain? Or something on the mountain? Could that mountain be Skull Island? Is there a giant ape inside?" Daisy muttered.

"I don't think it's that simple!" Charlotte shook her head and then said to Elijah, "This is the last photo. Although we're not sure where it is or what they're doing, it's clearly related to the zombie virus outbreak and Chi's mysterious revival!"

"Hmm! Since they specifically photographed the zombie transformation scene in Country A, and Zoe also said that the zombie virus outbreak started in Country A, if this is related to this island, then the island should be not far from Country A!" Elijah speculated.

"Why don't you ask Elena again? See if she remembers anything!" Daisy encouraged.

"That's the only option we have!" Elijah shrugged.

Besides these photos, the phone also had a final call from someone suspected to be Elena's father, and Charlotte found nothing more.

Everything is speculation now; they can only rely on Elena and hope she remembers something!

Elijah approached Elena with the phone.

"I found something when I was looking at our selfies on the phone. Can you see if you remember or know anything about it? Whatever you remember, as long as it's useful, I'll heal your arm! I keep my promises!" Elijah said, giving her another hint that he would keep his word.

This time, Elena didn't speak but immediately focused her eyes on the phone.

Elijah held it closer and showed her one photo at a time. After she looked at each photo for a while, he swiped to the next one.

After reviewing all the photos, Elena was silent for a moment. Then, under the expectant gazes of Elijah and the others, she spoke: "Serenity Peak!"

"Serenity Peak?" Elijah, Daisy, and Charlotte exchanged puzzled looks.

Soon, Charlotte seemed to remember something and said excitedly, "Is it the legendary Mystic Serenity Peak?"

However, Elena completely ignored Charlotte and continued to look at Elijah, then glanced at her own arm.

"Uh…" Elijah sighed and crouched down. "You need to remove the ice from your arm first. While I'm treating it, tell me more about this Serenity Peak. It's crucial for your arm's treatment!"

Elena obediently removed the ice from her arm. Once she saw Elijah starting the treatment, she spoke up, "I don't know… what Mystic Serenity Peak is! After seeing the photo, these two words just popped into my head! Serenity Peak… shrouded in mist… suddenly appeared in the eastern sea… and someone… is living there…"

After saying this, Elena stopped and didn't continue.

"That's it?" Elijah asked.

"Mm! I don't remember anything else!"

Hearing this, Elijah stopped the treatment, and Elena began moving her arm on her own.

"Could it really be the legendary Mystic Serenity Peak, which was sealed in ancient times for unknown reasons, and has now been unsealed, suddenly appearing?" Elijah speculated.

"It's possible. This would also explain why Chi revived—perhaps it spilled out from Mystic Serenity Peak!" Charlotte nodded.

"Like some gases, spreading from high-density areas to lower-density areas? Then the Chi concentration from Mystic Serenity Peak must be extremely high, spreading all the way here and even farther. Did the zombie virus also come from there?"

"It's possible, but I lean towards the idea that it might not be the only place that suddenly appeared," Charlotte analyzed.
