Apocalypse Rebirth: Beauties Surround Me

Chapter 254: Abigail’s Instruction

Upon reentering Neoville City University’s campus, Elijah moved with confidence and purpose, heading straight for the lake in front of the cafeteria.

This time, he was not cautious or uncertain of direction. His focus was on his objective.

As they approached the lake, Elijah spotted the familiar white figure again.

This time, Elena was not dancing gracefully but was instead standing alone in the center of the lake, looking like a lonely ice spirit.

Elijah’s group’s arrival startled Elena. Her initial reaction was one of fierce anger as she recognized Elijah and immediately charged at him, full of murderous intent.

Elijah remained still, allowing his seven third-tier zombies to display their full presence.

The sheer sense of threat from their overwhelming power made Elena shiver with apprehension.

She skidded to a halt just a few meters from Elijah, her gaze shifting between him, Kylie, Abigail, and the other zombies—who were now comparable to her in strength, unlike before when she had frozen them.

For a moment, Elena felt a pang of grievance. If it weren’t for Elijah’s intervention, she might have become even stronger and wouldn’t be intimidated by these former subordinates.

Seeing Elena’s murderous intent dissipate, Elijah began to use the Seed of Consciousness to instill a sense of trust and relaxation in her.

He spoke gently, "You’ve avenged yourself, and there’s nowhere else for you to go. How about you come with me and have a look around?"

Elena hesitated before slowly replying, "...Mine!"

Abigail couldn’t hold back and burst into laughter, slapping her thigh in amusement. Even Kylie, usually stern, couldn’t help but smile slightly at the situation. Elijah, however, could only roll his eyes in frustration.

This girl was really persistent, still clinging to that matter! Elijah mused that if someone had taken something so important from him, he would probably never forget it, whether or not he could exact revenge.

"I ate that thing, so I can’t return it to you," Elijah said with resignation.

"...Mine!" Elena repeated, her tone mechanical. Her blood-red eyes were fixed on Elijah, filled with obsession and grievance but devoid of any further murderous intent.

Elijah sighed. He could force Elena to follow him, but considering her current obsession, she would likely keep harping on about "mine" in his ear constantly. It would be a real nuisance.

After some thought, Elijah decided to bite the bullet and pulled out the last remaining third-tier corpse core.

The appearance of the third-tier corpse core immediately caught Elena’s attention.

She recognized it as something that had helped her advance to the second tier and later to the third tier when she consumed it at the lake’s center.

Her instinct told her that consuming this core would help her continue growing.

"How about this as compensation since I can’t return the Ling Fruit?" Elijah proposed.

Elena eagerly nodded in agreement.

"So, will you follow me now? There will be more opportunities in the future," Elijah tempted.

"Follow you!" Elena answered without hesitation, nodding in agreement.

"Then it’s settled. Here, take this," Elijah said, handing the third-tier corpse core to Elena.

Elena accepted the core and, to Abigail’s dismay, promptly consumed it like a piece of candy, savoring it with a satisfied smile on her face.

With the female zombie now appeased, Elijah felt relieved and content.

Although giving her a third-tier corpse core wasn’t his original intention, he still needed to be cautious moving forward—either not giving her any or giving her less—to avoid a situation like with Abigail back then, where someone suddenly advanced to the fourth tier out of the blue, causing trouble!

"Alright, let’s get going!"

With a wave of his hand, Elijah’s group of zombies set off once again.

The third-tier corpse core given to Elena made Abigail somewhat unhappy.

On the road, Abigail saw Elena with a look of satisfaction as if she had received a beloved toy.

Abigail couldn’t help but grumble inwardly, and then, with a flash of inspiration, she came up with an idea.

"You’re Elena, right?"

Abigail casually draped her arm around Elena’s shoulders. Elena instinctively triggered her ice abilities, freezing Abigail’s hand. Abigail didn’t mind at all and simply patted her hand, causing the ice to shatter without harming her pale skin in the slightest!

Elena squinted; Abigail’s abilities reminded her of Elijah’s back in the day—her own ice abilities were similarly ineffective against them!

"There are only three of us intelligent zombies here: I’m the boss, Kylie is number two, and you’re number three now! From now on, call me big sister, and also, call this man ’master!’"

Abigail pointed to Elijah.

"Big sister? Master?"

Elena glanced at Elijah.

Such strange titles!

But she noticed that Kylie, whose abilities had left a strong impression on her back then, did not object, only nodding in agreement.

"Alright, big sister!"

"Good! Very good!"

Abigail nodded in satisfaction and started chatting with Elena about other things.

In the afternoon, Elijah’s group traveled a bit more. They were not far from the YLK group, but seeing that it was getting dark, he decided not to push on any further.

There was no rush!

That evening, Abigail gave Elijah a big surprise by somehow getting Elena into his bed.

Elijah didn’t know what to say!

In the end, he could only reward Abigail and encourage her to keep up the good work!

The next day, Elijah and his group arrived at the hotel where the YLK group was based. Wendy, who had received news through the Seed of Consciousness the previous night, had already arranged for people to wait for them.

When Elijah led Abigail and Kylie into the hotel, they saw the various team leaders waiting there with their teams.

"Boss, hello!"

The collective greeting momentarily stunned Elijah. Seeing the eager looks from everyone, he smiled and said, "Why so serious? Well, since everyone is here, now that I’m back, I’ve brought a few gifts…"

As Elijah spoke, he took a box from Kylie’s hands.

"This first gift is walkie-talkies! After research by another of my teams, they found the cause of radio interference and made some modifications to these walkie-talkies. They are now fully functional and can be equipped to various teams and within the hotel to enhance communication and collaboration…"

The management of the YLK group became excited upon hearing this; these devices were incredibly important to them!

The ordinary members were also pleased, but not overly excited.

Elijah smiled slightly and then took out the second item.

"I’ve been away for a while, so many of you must have accumulated enough contributions to exchange for awakening potions or even advancement potions…"

Before Elijah could finish speaking, both the awakened and unawakened members perked up, their eyes fixed intently on the potions in Elijah’s hands!
