Apocalypse Rebirth: Beauties Surround Me

Chapter 16: Aren't I already being taken care of...

Under normal circumstances, zombies wouldn't be interested in the corpses of their own kind. However, there are exceptions.

According to later studies, zombies are essentially living bodies devoid of reason.

A virus controls the human body, keeping it at a minimum energy expenditure to maintain activity.

They also need external energy supplements.

So, zombies have a deep-seated craving for blood and flesh, showing aggression towards living beings.

In cramped and enclosed environments where there are no other creatures, some zombies might resort to devouring their own kind.

These zombies that cannibalize each other become anomalies within the zombie population, with most of them turning into mutated zombies.

Not only are they more aggressive, but they might even awaken certain superpowers similar to humans.

And where there are superpowers, there's bound to be a corpse core!

The zombie dog in front of us certainly hasn't reached that stage yet, but the likelihood of having a corpse core has greatly increased.

"Although zombie dogs are useful, we can find another one later! Plus, we just rescued a puppy downstairs, which can serve as a backup... Besides, as useful as they are, they're not as good as humans..."

This was also the experience summarized from past lives.

After all, zombies lack consciousness, relying solely on their own control, with limited flexibility and inevitable oversights.

Humans, on the other hand, especially those with abilities...

Thinking of this, Elijah looked at Daisy, who was sweating as she moved things, her strength even greater than his before he started exercising.

Sweat soaked her clothes, her graceful figure appearing now and then.

"What's wrong, Elijah?"

Daisy put down what she was carrying and wiped the sweat from her forehead.

"Nothing! You take the stuff to the fifth floor, then let's eat first, and we'll move the remaining stuff in the afternoon!"

"Okay!"

Upon hearing that they could eat, Daisy immediately became enthusiastic again, carrying the things downstairs.

"Compared to Bella, she's really a capable one!"

Bella was good at housework and cooking.

Daisy, on the other hand, had great strength and wasn't afraid of zombies.

She could be cultivated slowly, and in the future, she could go out with her.

With her abilities, Elijah could already think of many things to do in advance, without having to stay cooped up here.

"I need to improve my strength too!"

Elijah made up his mind and took the zombie dog into the vacant house on the sixth floor.

"Let's see if this zombie dog has a corpse core. If not, then we'll consider going out to hunt zombies!"

With no resistance from the zombie dog, Elijah directly smashed its head.

"Lucky!"

Elijah dug out a corpse core from the zombie dog's head!

Today's mission was successfully completed!

After Elijah collected the corpse core, he and Daisy moved the supplies from the sixth floor downstairs before opening the door to their own apartment.

Bella was already waiting at the door.

In fact, she had heard the commotion outside long ago and knew Elijah was safe, even catching a glimpse of Daisy through the peephole.

The reason she hadn't opened the door was that she remembered Elijah's instructions: he had his own key, and she shouldn't open the door for anyone or go out on her own initiative.

"You must be Daisy from downstairs? Let me help you carry things!" Bella stepped aside to let Elijah in, immediately noticing Daisy behind him.

Finally seeing another survivor, Bella was delighted and hurried forward to help.

"Bella, you're okay too, that's great!" Daisy greeted happily, having heard Elijah mention another person in the house.

Soon, with the coordination of the three of them, all the supplies at the door were brought inside.

"I'm starving, let's eat!"

Elijah saw three sets of tableware already set on the dining table, even the amount of food was enough for three people, silently nodding in approval.

Bella immediately stepped forward to help Elijah take off his tactical vest, which pleased Elijah greatly.

While collecting supplies from another apartment on the fifth floor earlier, he could have asked Bella to help.

But he refrained, wanting to see how well Bella followed his orders.

She clearly understood his instructions and even realized to make food for one more person.

Now, as soon as he asked, she immediately helped him take off his clothes.

So obedient, thoughtful, and capable, what more could he ask for?

Hmm... if only she could be this capable in bed too!

On the other hand, Daisy looked around the room curiously, like an eager child.

Then she watched Bella serve Elijah like a little wife, her face suddenly showing a hint of strangeness.

Didn't Bella have a husband?

But never mind, as long as there's food!

Daisy quickly dismissed the thought and sat eagerly at the table, waiting for the meal. She hadn't had a hot meal in days, not to mention porridge...

Once everyone was seated, Daisy immediately started devouring the food.

"So delicious!"

Daisy praised Bella as she ate.

"Elijah is lucky to have you cooking for him every day..."

"It's not that exaggerated, just ordinary food!"

Bella was very happy to have more people in the house, feeling a surge of vitality that momentarily made her forget about the apocalypse.

Elijah also quickly joined in eating, afraid that Daisy, with her voracious appetite, would devour everything.

Although Bella had prepared food for three people, she obviously hadn't expected Daisy to also be an awakened individual with such a big appetite.

"Hey! Hey! Elijah, I'm your girlfriend after all, can't you let me have a bit more?"

The two of them were scrambling for food, and seeing that there wasn't much left, Daisy complained.

"Girlfriend?"

Bella wasn't very hungry.

After eating a little, she looked at the two of them vigorously fighting over the food, feeling an unprecedented peace in her heart.

Suddenly hearing Daisy's words, her expression froze for a moment.

"Oh, this girl has no food, so she wants to be my girlfriend and let me take care of her!" Elijah explained lightly.

"I see..."

Bella bit her lip, carefully examining Daisy.

This girl, in terms of clothing, appearance, and figure, was in no way inferior to her, and even surpassed some.

Moreover, she possessed youth, beauty, and liveliness, having never stepped into society as a college student, her thoughts might be more pure, maybe even a virgin...

She and Elijah are together...

Where should she go from here?

If she opposes living with Elijah...

Bella suddenly felt a sense of crisis.

What should she do?

Should she go with the flow or...

And Elijah just mentioned being his girlfriend, and he could take care of her...

Aren't I already being taken care of...

No, this is a partnership!

And I shouldn't underestimate myself!

I'm not inferior...

"Hmph! You agreed to it earlier, so let me eat the rest first!"

Daisy and Elijah didn't realize that a single sentence had made Bella ponder a lot.

They were still arguing over the food, and in the end, Elijah was amused by Daisy's protective behavior and simply gave in to her.

"We ate a lot at lunch, so let's work harder in the afternoon!"

Elijah left his seat to check on the zombie grass.

"Just do what you need to do, hmph!"

With victory in hand, Daisy continued eating happily.
