Apocalypse Rebirth: Beauties Surround Me

Chapter 67: Old Acquaintances

Daisy was highly alert, especially when she saw the stranger in front of her, particularly noticing the baseball bat in his hand. It was stained with thick layers of red, white, and black.

Having experience dealing with zombies, she quickly recognized what those colors represented. She immediately grabbed the knife at her side.

"No need to be nervous, I'm from the building across the street. I just came over to ask if you guys have any food left here? We've run out at my place!" Christopher noticed the woman's wariness and found it strange.

"How did that psycho manage to eat cookies on the fourth floor yesterday without any trouble?" he thought. He looked at the knife in the woman's hand, well-crafted and not fake, so he tried to reassure her.

"From across the street? Do you know that scumbag Benjamin?" he asked.

"Benjamin? Scumbag? I don't know him! Wait... are you talking about that weird painter?" Christopher seemed to have a realization, then looked angry. "Damn it, we went downstairs together yesterday.

I was leading the way, and that psycho was hiding behind, not doing anything. Whenever there was danger, he pushed me towards the zombies to shield himself. If I hadn't been lucky, I would've been eaten by zombies yesterday! Have you seen him? Did he come to this building yesterday? Where is he now?

I'm going to kill him!" Christopher heard Daisy's tone, seeming to despise the psycho, so he adapted on the spot.

"He's dead!" Daisy said flatly, not entirely believing the statement, but it did explain how Benjamin had arrived.

"Dead? That's great! Did you do it? It's so satisfying. I must thank you properly."

Christopher excitedly took a couple of steps forward.

When he was just two or three meters away from Daisy, he suddenly accelerated.

As a former soldier, Christopher had never stopped training himself.

Within this distance, he was confident he could subdue any untrained ordinary person, especially a woman.

Sure enough, the woman couldn't react in time.

He used a single-handed grappling technique, easily seizing the woman's wrist.

Next, with a pull and a twist, he could easily subdue her, letting him do as he pleased.

"Hmm?" Christopher's movement suddenly stopped! He hadn't pulled her!

Refusing to believe it, he tried to pull harder! But the woman remained unmoved!

"Is she really that strong?" Christopher was bewildered! But he quickly reacted. Since he couldn't pull her, he'd resort to more force.

He swung the baseball bat in his right hand towards the woman. Even a zombie's hard skull couldn't withstand two hits.

"Bang!" The woman used the sheath of her knife to block with one hand.

"How is this possible?" Christopher was completely shocked this time!

"I knew you weren't a good person!" Daisy snorted lightly.

Although Christopher's actions seemed fast, from Daisy's perspective, they were quite ordinary and easily blocked by her. As for the hand that was caught...

Daisy flipped her wrist, immediately turning the tables and grabbing Christopher's hand, while simultaneously applying pressure with her five fingers.

"Ow! Ow! Ow!" Christopher felt as if his arm was caught in a vise, experiencing intense pain.

"Please spare me, miss! I give up! I, Christopher, have made a grave mistake, I underestimated you!" Christopher pleaded, while his other hand released the baseball bat to show surrender.

"Clang!" The bat hit the ground.

As his free hand pretended to attempt to break free from Daisy's grip, he got closer to her.

But as he neared Daisy, the hand suddenly flashed with the glint of a blade, stabbing fiercely towards Daisy's arm.

Instinctively, Daisy let go and stepped back.

Christopher immediately picked up the baseball bat from the ground and took two steps back.

Only then did Daisy see that he had a utility knife in his hand, which she hadn't noticed before.

"How sneaky!" Daisy, lacking experience in combat, hadn't expected such a move.

It was fortunate she reacted quickly and avoided being cut.

"Damn bitch, you're stronger than I thought!"

Christopher looked at the bruised and purple marks on his arm, his mouth twitching slightly.

Damn, it hurt like hell!

"Damn it, from now on, I won't hold back!"

He tightly gripped the baseball bat with both hands, took two steps forward, and swung fiercely towards Daisy's head.

This was his full-strength blow.

He didn't believe this woman could withstand it.

Sure enough, the woman agilely dodged to the side.

"I was waiting for you to dodge!"

Christopher changed his vertical swing into a horizontal sweep, his movements fluid, his techniques grand and powerful.

It seemed like he was wielding not a baseball bat, but a large tiger-headed sword.

"Bang!" Daisy once again timely used the sheath to block.

But the tremendous force made her retreat two steps.

Christopher was about to pursue his advantage, and Daisy seemed ready to counterattack with her knife.

Suddenly, a voice rang out.

"Why is there so much commotion downstairs? Isn't that Christopher?" Daisy immediately sheathed her half-drawn knife.

"Elijah!"

"Who are you? How do you know me?" Christopher was startled. He hadn't noticed when a stranger appeared at the door, let alone recognized him.

"Come here, Daisy. You have no real combat experience, just strength and speed. You can handle zombies, but you're no match for him!"

Elijah's words made Daisy obediently move to his side, although she felt somewhat aggrieved. She hadn't even drawn her knife yet.

If she did, she could chop him into pieces in no time.

"Do you know him, Elijah?" Daisy asked.

"Well, let's just say we've met before." Elijah squinted, sizing up Christopher. This man had once been his "friend" in a previous life, and one of the main reasons for his demise.

In their previous life, Elijah had met Christopher at a gathering place in the suburbs.

At that time, Christopher was already the leader of a small team, with several brothers working for him, controlling many resources and information.

Elijah bought a lot of supplies and information through him.

For example, he learned about Charlotte's body forging technique through Christopher's introduction.

Later, when he found out that the two came from the same neighborhood, Christopher became much warmer towards him, often treating him as a brother, and frequently shared some questionable rumors with him.

Christopher even tried to recruit Elijah into his team, but Elijah refused.

He was determined to use his abilities to recruit a group of loyal followers and be the leader himself.

Why should he subordinate himself to others?

Moreover, Elijah also disapproved of their methods. However, they still maintained a relatively friendly cooperation.

They say familiarity breeds contempt. It wasn't until just before Elijah's death in the previous life that he truly saw Christopher's true colors.

At that time, he was seeking a spiritual plant that could advance to the second-tier superpower level, which was common in the gathering place.

Everyone who understood the effects of spiritual plants was desperately searching for one.

One day, while purchasing supplies, Christopher mysteriously revealed to him the location of a Crystal Grass.

Crystal Grass! It was a spiritual plant even more potent than Zombie Grass.

It was said that mature Crystal Grass could even help people advance to the third tier.

And third-tier superpower holders!

At that time, there were very few in the entire Neoville City.

Each one of them was famous and powerful, controlling vast territories, possessing massive resources, and countless beautiful women throwing themselves at them.

Power, wealth, fame, beautiful women!

They had almost reached the pinnacle, becoming the emperors of the apocalypse, deciding life and death with a single word!

Elijah was instantly tempted!
