Apocalypse Rebirth: Beauties Surround Me

Chapter 261: Codename

"You already know about this?" Nicholas was a bit surprised. He then looked at his sister and guessed how they might have gotten the information.

"Actually, the information we have is incomplete. On the day the zombie virus outbreak occurred, a satellite detected a sudden mist appearing in the eastern seas of Country A. Any electronic devices were unable to detect what was happening inside the mist!" Nicholas pondered for a moment and finally decided to tell the truth.

The technology to remove wireless interference was too important for them, and while the truth about the virus outbreak was known only to a few, it wasn't exactly a secret that couldn't be shared.

"Later, both Country A and Country C sent people to investigate. The mist gradually dissipated a bit, and it seemed like there was a large mountain inside. It's said that two people, dressed in ancient attire, emerged from the mountain, and they could fly, possibly immortals. Because of this, they gave that mountain the codename 'Serenity Peak!'"

So that's how Serenity Peak got its name! Elijah realized, then asked with concern, "What about those two immortals?"

"No one knows!" Nicholas shook his head.

"No one knows?" Elijah was stunned.

"Right, those two immortals disappeared not long after they appeared. Electronic devices could no longer detect their whereabouts. Shortly after, the nearby Country C warships were inexplicably attacked, and after that, as you know, the zombie virus outbreak began in Country A, quickly spreading across the globe.

At the same time, global wireless signals were interfered with, and humanity has been in the apocalypse ever since, up until now!" Nicholas said everything in one breath.

"Do you have planes? Did you send anyone else to investigate afterward?" Elijah frowned slightly.

After all that listening, besides learning about two possible immortals, he didn't get any more useful information.

"We could barely protect ourselves; who had the time to investigate these things?" Nicholas smiled bitterly.

The virus was indiscriminate, and barely anyone in the military survived.

The few who did manage to gather together faced another crisis as the virus mutated, causing people to suddenly turn into zombies, leading to several outbreaks of chaos.

Later, they required all non-awakened soldiers to wear tactical gloves and full-face helmets at all times, which helped control the chaos caused by sudden zombification.

This practice continued, including among the team members Nicholas brought along this time.

This way, if they suddenly turned into zombies, they wouldn't scratch or bite their comrades.

Of course, another crucial reason was that the nearest warships from Country C were completely wiped out. What would be the point of sending more people?

The top priority was to ensure their own survival, continue developing, and after solving the zombie crisis, they could consider exploring that area.

Elijah and Fiona asked for more details, but finding no further useful information, Fiona straightforwardly handed two walkie-talkies to Nicholas.

Since they planned to trade with the other party, it made sense to provide one or two samples to build trust.

Although the information they gained wasn't very useful, it did deepen their communication.

As soon as Nicholas got the walkie-talkies, he immediately handed one to a team member.

The two of them skillfully tested the devices and found that they indeed worked perfectly, and they both smiled in delight.

"How many of these walkie-talkies can you provide? What do you want in exchange?" Nicholas asked eagerly.

Fiona and Elijah exchanged a glance, then Fiona said to Nicholas, "We don't have many, and ours are all civilian-grade. I have a suggestion: you could provide us with some military-grade walkie-talkies, radios, etc., and we'll modify them. After we're done, we'll keep a portion as a modification fee. What do you think?"

"Deal!" Nicholas agreed without a second thought.

The advantage was with the other side, so he didn't really have a choice.

His priority was to solve the immediate problem; once they had the equipment, they could negotiate the specifics later.

"That's the spirit of a soldier—straightforward! If this cooperation goes well, we can establish long-term collaborations in a broader range of areas. To be honest, besides here, we've also taken control of Neoville City's international port, where there are many industrial supplies. Compared to everyday goods, I believe you need industrial supplies more urgently..."

Nicholas's eyes lit up even more at these words! He then asked in detail about the industrial supplies available, and Fiona answered each question.

The more Nicholas listened, the more excited he became.

However, the only issue was how to verify if this woman in front of him was telling the truth.

After all, although they claimed to be the leaders of the Neoville City Survivor Alliance, Nicholas had only seen two normal people, Elijah and Fiona.

The other three were zombies! One of them was even his sister!

It seemed Fiona had guessed what Nicholas was thinking.

After chatting for a while, she smiled and said, "This isn't the best place to discuss things. You've come a long way, so you're our guests. Why don't we go inside and sit down? I can also introduce you to some of the survivors from Neoville City."

"Sounds good!" Nicholas was pleased, though he maintained a neutral expression. He gestured to his team members, signaling for two of them to come closer.

"But I see there are still quite a few zombies in this area. How do we get in?" Nicholas asked.

He didn't believe that so many people could be made invisible or fly in together.

No matter how strong an ability user was, there were limits!

"The western side of the area hasn't been fully cleared, but that won't affect our entry. Please, follow me," Elijah replied with a smile, making a gesture for them to proceed.

At the same time, Abigail, Kylie, and Elena unleashed their full aura, the unique pressure of third-tier zombies blanketing the area.

Although Nicholas and his team couldn't sense it, they had no choice but to trust Elijah, a man whose strength was hard to gauge.

The three of them followed Elijah, and soon Nicholas witnessed something astonishing.

Some zombies, having noticed their presence, started running toward them from a distance.

However, as soon as they got within ten meters, the zombies suddenly seemed terrified and quickly fled.

One of the zombies, apparently a mutant, didn't flee like the others.

But when it got within a few meters of them, the beautiful woman next to Elena, Nicholas's sister, gave it a fierce glare, causing it to freeze in place.

It was then swiftly impaled by a sharp, jade-white weapon that appeared out of nowhere, piercing its brain.

Nicholas and his team had to admit that this group, just by relying on their abilities, could clear out zombies as fast as they could with firearms—if not faster in some aspects!

Before long, they arrived at the warehouse where Quentin and the others were stationed.

Nicholas saw a few people standing guard near the entrance, and he felt slightly more at ease. It seemed Elijah's group had not lied.

When he entered the warehouse and saw dozens of fully armed people resting together, Nicholas was genuinely shocked.

Fiona had mentioned earlier that these were just the combat personnel sent to clear out the zombies.

If there were this many fighters, there must be even more guards and non-combat personnel in their stronghold.

With that in mind, it wasn't an exaggeration for them to claim they had a few hundred survivors. This realization finally put Nicholas's mind at ease.

While Nicholas was surprised, Quentin and the others were even more astonished when they saw Nicholas and especially noticed their military gear.

"Soldiers?!"
