Apocalypse Rebirth: Beauties Surround Me

Chapter 50: Hunt

Elijah couldn't help but glance at Hannah. Her voice didn't match her appearance; it gave off a distant and aloof feeling, contrary to her soft, sugary tone that seemed sweet to the ears, creating a stark contrast.

"Wow, Hannah's voice is so nice! I thought she would be cold and hard to approach!" Daisy exclaimed, seemingly without any ulterior motives.

"Oh, no, Daisy's voice is much nicer!" Hannah politely deflected.

"Hannah, you've met, and this one behind me is Grace!" Fiona redirected the conversation.

Elijah remembered her; she was the one who opened the door just now.

"Um... hi!" Grace greeted nervously.

"And the one beside her is Katherine!" Katherine nodded at the two.

Once everyone was acquainted, Fiona spoke again.

"Alright, now that we all know each other, let's get back to business! First of all, a big thank you to Mr. Elijah for his help. Otherwise, the four of us sisters probably wouldn't have ended up well today. I know Mr. Elijah must not have helped us for free.

Do you have any requests?"

Elijah smiled faintly. "Call me Elijah, I'm just an ordinary guy. It feels a bit strange to be called 'Mr.' feels awkward. As for requests? I think the environment on this island is great. I'd like it to be a place for future living, if possible."

"Of course, that's no problem. Besides this hotel on the island, there are also 10 luxury villas, Elijah... Elijah, you can choose any one of them as our gratitude to you!"

"Uh? Elijah, didn't you say you wanted to take over this island at first?" Daisy innocently looked at Elijah.

"Yeah, so Fiona probably misunderstood! I meant this island is great!" Elijah echoed.

Fiona's expression didn't change much upon hearing this, remaining calm. Elijah felt disappointed yet somewhat admiring. She truly lived up to being the heiress of the Prosperous Strength Group.

"It seems Elijah, you have a purpose for coming here. I wonder what attracted you to this island?" Fiona asked lightly, neither granting nor denying his request.

"Many things! After confirming that the world has entered the apocalypse and order cannot be restored in the short term, my first thought was to find a place suitable for long-term survival and comfortable living. This place needs to be relatively safe, with fewer zombies."

Elijah was quite sincere.

"So, you thought of here right away?"

"Yes! I've seen some of your promotional materials through certain channels. After obtaining the right to use the island in the name of environmental development, you have indeed taken corresponding environmental measures. For example, the entire island uses clean energy, harnessing wind and solar power for electricity! The outside of this building is covered with solar panels, right?

Now that the city has completely stopped supplying electricity, you still have power supply for the whole island. Just this alone, we cannot ignore. Moreover, the environment here is beautiful, and the location is very safe!"

Fiona sighed inwardly, fearing exactly this.

If it were just an ordinary island, there wouldn't be many coveters.

But if the whole world is dark at night, and only this place is lit up, it's like a beacon in the night, attracting countless moths.

With just a few weak women like them, they definitely couldn't deal with more and more coveters in the future.

"Although I admit that your abilities are very strong and suitable for survival in the apocalypse, can just the two of you control this island?"

Fiona remained expressionless.

"Counting you guys in!"

"Us?"

"Yeah, I only said to occupy this island, not to kick you out!"

"And besides, who said there are only two of us?"

After Elijah finished speaking, the image of the two retreating figures of Isaac flashed in his mind.

The hunt began!

"Isaac, are we just going to leave like this?"

Henry followed behind Isaac as they hurried away from the island, not stopping for a moment.

"What else do you suggest? "

"Do you think we can take on that group of people together?"

" Those women have an attitude, as if they have something to rely on.

I suspect some of them have awakened abilities.

So, we tried to appease them at first, without resorting to direct confrontation.

If it was just those women, even with some of them having abilities, they wouldn't be much of a threat.

After all, they're women who probably haven't killed much, struggling even to kill a zombie.

With my ability, we could still stand a chance.

But those two who showed up later, the man and the woman, they're different.

The man's ability to disappear without a trace, coupled with the guns they have...

We wouldn't even have a chance to resist; they'd just take us out," Isaac explained, glancing back nervously, afraid the pair might be stealthily following them. He couldn't afford to let his guard down.

Henry, upon careful consideration, felt a chill run down his spine. He didn't possess any special abilities.

Isaac might be able to withstand a bullet with his power, but if he were hit, he'd be done for.

"Then let's get out of here quickly!"

Henry urged, picking up his pace to overtake Isaac.

"Let's head back to the service hall, load up the remaining supplies, and then go to Fisherman's Wharf. I'll reclaim my pride sooner or later!"

"Fisherman's Wharf? Is Jacob still alive?" Isaac inquired.

"Who knows! Let's go check it out first; there must be survivors..."

They continued their conversation as they reached the edge of the bridge leading to the shore.

Just as they were about to step onto land, a figure suddenly sprang up from the ground, lunging towards them aggressively.

"Arrgh!" The terrifying moan of a zombie followed.

"Damn it!"

After all, it was someone who had awakened abilities; their physical attributes were enhanced in various ways. Isaac reacted first. Seeing no other option, he swiftly pulled Henry, using him as a shield.

"Ah!" A piercing scream rang out as the zombie sunk its teeth into Henry's shoulder.

With a flash of the blade, Isaac swung his knife towards the zombie, disregarding the possibility of hitting Henry. After all, being bitten by a zombie was a death sentence anyway.

But in the next instant, Isaac was stunned.

Although he had aimed his blade at the zombie's neck, ensuring there was no escape, the zombie's head twisted in a bizarre manner, evading the blade.

The sharp knife plunged into Henry's shoulder instead.

"Damn it!"

Henry's eyes widened in agony.

Normally, a zombie bite wouldn't be too serious; the terrifying aspect was the infection, which would quickly turn the victim into a zombie.

But Isaac's blow was different.

It nearly tore his entire arm off, causing intense pain that nearly made him pass out.
