Apocalypse Rebirth: Beauties Surround Me

Chapter 253: Heading to YLK

"Impressive!"

"To think they cleared out all the zombies in such a short time?"

"Look over there—the dismembered zombie's hand is bigger than me! What kind of monster is this? And it was taken down?"

The onlookers, who had never seen Elijah in action, were stunned by the scene of slaughter. Their awe and respect for Elijah and his team grew significantly.

They had only received the news that Azure Isle's team had landed and started clearing the island's zombies just before setting out.

Wanting to prove their worth, especially Quentin, who had led his team in a frenzied push to accelerate the clearing of the road, was dismayed to find that the zombies had already been completely wiped out.

"You're here just in time. You can take care of the corpses," Elijah said, brushing the remnants of food from his hands.

"Boss, you guys are too impressive! In just half a day, you've cleared this place and even took down such a giant!" Quentin's expression was one of amazement.

Looking at the dismembered giant zombie's hand—much larger than his own body—he realized that even his second-tier defense would struggle to withstand a punch from it.

"Once you all reach the third tier, you'll be able to do it too," Elijah replied with a calm smile.

"Third tier?" Quentin looked at Lily, remembering that she had been a second-tier just a while ago. Now she was third-tier?

"Boss, does that mean third-tier potions can now be mass-produced?" Quentin asked excitedly.

"Production is possible, but it's a slow process, and quantities are limited. Therefore, prices will be high and availability scarce. You should complete more missions to accumulate corpse cores. As production increases, internal members like you will get priority," Elijah explained, giving Quentin and the others a glimmer of hope.

The prospect of a third-tier advancement channel was like a dream to them, increasing their sense of belonging to Azure Isle.

Elijah gave a few more instructions and then led Abigail, Fiona, Lily, and the others away, leaving the area in Fiona's capable hands.

Fiona would appoint a second-tier ability user with a Seed of Consciousness to lead a team from the various settlements to guard the port.

Of course, guarding wouldn't be free. Each participating settlement would receive a share of the resources within the Neoville City International Port.

Meanwhile, Fiona, along with Hannah, Zoey, Ivy, and a newly recruited finance team, began inventorying the resources at the port.

Urgently needed supplies would be transported out, while those that could be stored would be recorded and kept on-site.

Quentin and his team were not idle either. They started clearing nearby ships, especially the large cargo vessels.

After dealing with the zombies on board, the resources were managed similarly to those at the port: essential items were removed, and the rest were recorded and stored.

The massive haul of resources from the Neoville City International Port had alleviated food and drink worries for Quentin and the other small settlements.

Given the scale of an international port meant to supply tens or even hundreds of millions, the amount of resources available was staggering, especially compared to the few thousand survivors left in the city.

Quentin and the others, who had been actively recruiting survivors and now numbered just over three hundred, were no longer concerned about their immediate needs.

However, survival in the apocalypse required strength, and Azure Isle had provided them with a channel to enhance their abilities.

Once the Neoville City International Port was thoroughly cleared, Azure Isle issued a new mission to explore westward and open up the outer ring road connecting the southern suburbs and western suburbs, thus completing the link between Azure Isle, the southern suburbs, and the western suburbs.

Elijah had spent some time relaxing at Azure Isle, enjoying his days either meditating or having fun with the women around him.

It was a carefree period, until he noticed that the remaining six of his zombies, after being fed second-tier corpse cores, had all advanced to the third tier.

Additionally, the ten newly cultivated zombies had reached the second tier.

Elijah decided it was time to visit the YLK Group in the western suburbs and capture the third-tier zombie, Elena.

Since capturing Elena would duplicate the ice zombie's abilities, Elijah opted to kill the ice zombie and retrieve its corpse core.

This resulted in Elijah possessing three third-tier corpse cores.

He gave one of these cores to Abigail and one to Kylie, making Abigail extremely happy and well-served that evening. The ice zombie's body was given to Whitey.

Over time, Whitey had grown significantly, its size now comparable to a small yacht.

Its shape had also changed from a massive whale-like form to a more elongated and dragon-like appearance, especially after consuming the giant third-tier zombie and ice zombie corpses from the port.

Despite these changes, Whitey still lacked much intelligence, being less clever than Yello.

Yello, now serving as Katherine's pet, frequently accompanied her to the flower garden and occasionally snatched a Red Fruit when no one was looking.

Since Yello ate Red Fruit #1, Katherine overlooked this minor theft.

The most precious Red Fruit #4, guarded closely by Katherine, had effects equivalent to an immature zombie grass plant, helping people awaken and gradually replacing zombie grass.

Zombie grass was now exclusively used for crafting second-tier advancement potions.

Before leaving, Elijah took several bottles of awakening and second-tier potions.

Having been away from the YLK Group for about ten days, his return was to reward those who had accumulated enough contributions and finalize preparations for linking the southern and western suburbs.

Vincent brought Elijah good news before he left: the radio station that had been under bounty was finally operational.

After modifications and testing, it was able to broadcast normally, and only specially modified radios could receive it, eliminating the risk of leaks.

Although information could only be disseminated one-way through broadcasts, it was still a significant advance.

With everything ready, Elijah set out with Abigail, Kylie, and fifteen zombies.

The seven third-tier zombies and ten second-tier zombies exuded a formidable aura, causing the zombies along the way to flee in fear.

Even the previously impassable, enormous zombie hordes were easily navigated.

This allowed Elijah to save time, and within half a day, they reached the Neoville City University's central campus, where Elena was located.
