Apocalypse Rebirth: Beauties Surround Me

Chapter 232: Red Fruit No. 4

That was a huge fish, placed on a large tray, prepared in a way similar to roasted fish, with plenty of side dishes.

"This must be the Spirit fish, right? It smells really good!" Daisy eagerly picked up her chopsticks.

"Since everyone is here, let's dig in!" Elijah said, and Daisy stood up first.

"Everyone, start with the fish!"

The group smiled and each picked up their chopsticks, quickly devouring the fish. Even Yello got a share!

"This is fantastic!" someone exclaimed.

"Yes, indeed, but the most important thing is that it enhances our strength!"

Elijah said, feeling the warmth radiating from the fish meat as it entered his body.

He nodded in satisfaction.

For a tier-three individual like him, the Spirit fish provided a significant amount of energy.

For the others, its effects were even better.

"Elijah, continue with the story of your journey!" Daisy didn't forget about the tier-three zombie and asked as she ate.

"Alright!"

So Elijah recounted his encounters with Lillian and Nora.

When Daisy heard Lillian's name, she paused, but her expression softened slightly upon learning that Lillian had a young daughter.

Soon, however, she became engrossed in the story about the YLK group.

The other women were similarly affected, their faces turning pale when they heard about the YLK group's gruesome practices, including eating zombie flesh and cutting up prisoners.

Thankfully, everyone had almost finished eating by then. Otherwise, few would have had the appetite to continue!

Only Yello was happily munching on the leftover fish bones.

When they learned that Matthew's abilities were similar to Elijah's and that he used his powers to hypnotize and control others, the women's expressions changed again.

Some were unaware of Elijah's hypnotic abilities. Experience tales at mvl

But instead of resenting the fact that Elijah had hidden this before, they felt relieved.

Especially when they thought about what their fate might have been if they had encountered someone like Matthew instead of Elijah.

Now, they only had to occasionally serve Elijah, which wasn't too difficult given their own occasional needs.

But they could not accept the situation like Wendy's.

At this moment, they felt that Elijah's lecherous nature didn't seem so problematic.

After all, Elijah didn't have other peculiarities.

His character, morals, and looks were decent. Most importantly, he was very good to them! He was strong and helped them grow together.

So what if he was a bit lecherous? With so many women, couldn't he be satisfied?

As long as they performed well...

Hmph!

They thought to themselves, letting him have his fun every night, and not wanting to get out of bed!

The women couldn't help but entertain these thoughts. They only hoped that Elijah wouldn't go down other wrong paths.

Soon, the group sighed in relief when they heard that Elijah had taken down Matthew, cleaned up the YLK group, and restored order.

"So, you're now the decision-maker of the YLK group?" Fiona's eyes sparkled with joy as she looked at Elijah.

"Yes, not just the YLK group. Actually, most of the western suburbs have been cleaned up by the YLK group. Unfortunately, most of the survivors were killed by Matthew," Elijah said.

"It's only their misfortune that they didn't meet you!" Fiona indirectly complimented Elijah, then continued, "It seems we're on the same page. I've recently had Quentin lead people to develop southward and have already contacted several settlements!"

"Really? That's great! That means it won't be too long before we can connect from the outer ring to the western suburbs!" Elijah said excitedly.

"Alright, enough talking. Let's have some fruit!" At this moment, Katherine brought out a basket of freshly washed fruit.

Elijah looked at the red, juicy fruits and Katherine's proudly concealed expression and asked, "What is this…"

"Red Fruit No. 4?" Elijah guessed.

Elijah believed that if it were only Red Fruit No. 3, Katherine wouldn't have made such a fuss.

"Hehe, Elijah, you're so smart!" Katherine proudly handed over several red fruits and said, "This is the second batch of Red Fruit No. 4. It's not easy to mature, and it takes much longer to grow compared to No. 3. My enhancement abilities have less effect on it."

Elijah took a red fruit and immediately put one in his mouth. As he chewed, a burst of sweet and tangy juice exploded in his mouth.

The fruit seemed to dissolve instantly, flowing down his throat and into his stomach, where it filled him with a warm, invigorating energy.

"This is much better than Red Fruit No. 2, almost catching up with the three-leaf zombie grass! Katherine, you've done an excellent job!" Elijah's eyes lit up.

When he left, Katherine had only cultivated Red Fruit No. 2.

He hadn't expected No. 4 to be this effective.

Zombie grass above three leaves can awaken people. Although Red Fruit No. 4 still falls a bit short, its effects can be offset by quantity—if one isn't enough, then two! They could always grow more.

This means they would have ample awakening agents in the future, and it could be used regularly by everyone. Just like those cultivators who take medicine, everyone will eventually advance. As long as they can continuously cultivate, tier-three will be the baseline, tier-four won't be a dream, and even tier-five or higher…

Elijah was so excited that, if not for the presence of the other women, he would have hugged and kissed Katherine!

"Everyone should try it too!" Good things should be shared. Elijah had Katherine distribute the fruits to everyone.

Since Red Fruit No. 4 was not very abundant, each person got just two. Kylie also received hers, but she ate only one and gave the rest to Olivia.

Olivia accepted her mother's gift with pleasure and ate it. Then, to Elijah's astonishment, she suddenly advanced to tier-two.

"I… advanced?!" Olivia found it somewhat unbelievable. She closed her eyes, harnessed her abilities, and could clearly feel the increase in her power.

Her tier-two abilities not only expanded her sensing range but also added a new capability.

In addition to sensing others' good or evil intentions towards her, she could now perceive everyone's current emotional state.

For example, Jasmine, upon hearing about Olivia's advancement, showed a hint of envy.

After all, among the women on the island, Sophia had already been advanced to tier-two for capturing the Spirit fish.

The only remaining tier-one ability users were Jasmine and Olivia. Now that Olivia had advanced to tier-two, Jasmine was the only one left…

Hmm? Why does Aunt Jasmine's emotion seem… a bit heated?

Olivia opened her eyes and noticed Jasmine staring intently at Elijah, her emotion shifting from envy to something indescribable.

"Olivia just ate some Spirit fish along with three Red Fruit No. 4. It's reasonable for her to advance to tier-two…" Elijah nodded, understanding the reason for her advancement.
