Apocalypse Rebirth: Beauties Surround Me

Chapter 20: Azure Isle

The scene Abigail sent back was of an open wardrobe, filled with an array of colorful clothes, most of which were character costumes from various cartoons.

Some of the outfits were quite bold and revealing, with very little fabric!

"So, whose clothes are these? Daisy's or Abigail's? Is Daisy treating Abigail like a Barbie doll to dress up?"

Elijah clicked his tongue twice, thinking he should definitely get Daisy to try some of them on when he had the chance.

Then his attention shifted back to his own abilities.

Elijah realized that besides the enhanced abilities mentioned earlier, his influence over people had also strengthened.

Now he could implant deep suggestions in people's minds instantly, even reaching levels of trust and loyalty directly.

This confirmed his speculation that with time, his abilities could further enhance to the extent of deciding others' life and death with just a thought.

Moreover, the limit of consciousness seeds he could plant had doubled from 10 to 20. In the post-apocalyptic world, a group of more than 10 people could already be considered a small gathering.

After all, the more people, the greater the consumption, the more difficult the management, and the exponentially increasing danger.

The ever-mutating zombie virus weighed on everyone's mind, making them constantly wary of those around them.

Therefore, most groups in the post-apocalyptic world were composed of three to five individuals, forming clusters that shared resources without a specific leader.

Initially, Elijah planned to assemble a survival team, but now he could strive for the goal of forming a gathering place.

However, due to the additional second-order abilities, Elijah decided to pursue a route focused on elite forces.

In the future, priority in recruitment would be given to those with abilities, followed by... beauties.

After all, women were both pleasing to the eye and easier to control!

Men had too many desires and ambitions.

Even if Elijah could limit them with his abilities, he wasn't planning to recruit many.

Unless the person or ability was exceptionally unique!

But all this was contingent on having a suitable base to ensure safety and accommodate personnel.

It was time to start preparing for the next step!

"Alright, we'll discuss the zombie grass later. I have something else to say," Elijah said, his expression serious, prompting Bella and Daisy to adopt attentive postures immediately.

"It's been five days since the outbreak of the zombie virus, and this world is becoming less and less like the one we knew. Awakening abilities, zombies everywhere, miraculous plants... who knows what else the future holds! And right now, communication, electricity, gas... everything is cut off. I don't know about you, but I don't think there will be any rescuers in the future. We can only save ourselves! You both know our situation here. We have enough food for now, but sooner or later, it'll run out. We have limited gas, and we don't know how long it'll last. We can only rely on going out to collect water. Without rescue, this place isn't suitable for long-term living. So I'm planning to leave here in a few days, find a new place, a place suitable for long-term survival. What about you? Do you plan to stay here and wait for rescue, or join me?"

Elijah finished speaking in one breath.

"Of course, I'll be with you. I'm already yours now, so don't even think about leaving me behind!" To Elijah's surprise, Bella's response was decisive, giving him a reproachful glance at the same time.

"I feel like I heard something quite remarkable," Daisy stared at the two of them with a strange look.

"I've found my first boyfriend, and he turned out to be a scumbag. What should I do? Waiting online, it's quite urgent!"

Bella's face turned slightly red as she looked to the side, while Elijah felt a twinge of headache.

Women were not easy to handle.

Bella's words just now might have been heartfelt, but they might also imply she intended to have a heart-to-heart with Daisy.

After all, nominally, Daisy was his girlfriend.

Although they had only officially become a couple yesterday.

In practice, Bella was the one he had relations with.

Although that was just last night...

Elijah took a deep breath, about to break the awkward silence when Daisy suddenly interjected, "Then can you still guarantee I'll have food to eat?"

"Of course..." Elijah replied uncertainly.

"In that case, no problem!" Daisy huffed twice, smoothly shifting the conversation.

"Have you decided where to go, Elijah? If not, I have a suggestion, although it's a bit far," Daisy asked, catching Elijah off guard.

"Oh? Where?" Elijah's expression changed slightly. Could it be that coincidental?

"Have you heard of Seabreeze Terrace?" Daisy continued.

"The row of villas near the coast? With the solar water heaters and power systems?"

Elijah pondered briefly, immediately recalling the place. It was a well-known gathering spot even before his rebirth.

"That's right. It not only has water but also a river running through the community, with a lower population density and relatively fewer zombies nearby. So many people in the vicinity have fled there to live. But that's not my final destination. However, compared to my final destination, the two are not far apart. It's only a few kilometers along the coastal road," Elijah explained.

"Daisy seems quite familiar with the place!" Bella, unfamiliar, listened to the description, which sounded promising.

"In fact... my parents live there!" Daisy, rarely showing a worried expression, admitted.

"I want to go back... Can we, Elijah?" Daisy looked at him with pleading eyes.

Seeing Daisy's pitiful gaze, Elijah's voice was firm. "Of course we can!"

"That's great!" Daisy exclaimed excitedly. "When do we leave?"

"No need to rush. We still need to make some preparations. And..." Elijah took out his phone, opened the offline map, and found the Seabreeze Terrace Daisy mentioned... a place not far from there.

"This is where we're going!" Elijah said as Daisy leaned over to carefully examine the map, then exclaimed in surprise.

"I know this place... Isn't it still under development?"

Bella, too, scrutinized the map and realized Elijah was pointing to an island not far from the coastline.

"What's that?" She had never heard of it, given her short time in Neoville City.

"Azure Isle, also known as Azure Island Resort!"

Elijah recollected, continuing, "It should have just been completed and hasn't started operating yet. It's said to be a private island resort specifically for wealthy individuals."

"The island not only has an independent power system and seawater purification system but also features ten standalone sea-view villas and a luxury resort hotel..."

"Most importantly, apart from water routes, there's only one road leading to the outside world on the island. Once sealed off, there's no need to worry about zombie attacks, ensuring absolute safety."

Elijah briefly described the island's facilities and environment, immediately igniting the interest of the two.

"With water, electricity, and a beach... I'm decided. Let's go there!"

Daisy was enthusiastic, especially since it wasn't far from her parents' home, giving her a chance to visit them.

Bella felt a twinge of envy. Her hometown was too far north, and she might never be able to return in this lifetime...

Thinking about it made her slightly melancholic. She usually tried not to dwell on such thoughts because she understood that even if they were to reunite, it might not be the outcome she hoped for.

"Alright, now that the destination is set, the next step is to make specific arrangements..."
