Day 16 of the Apocalypse!
Elijah was startled awake by the shaking of his bed. He opened his eyes and turned to see a beautiful woman with a smooth and gleaming back sitting up in bed.
"Why are you up so early?" Elijah yawned.
"Oh! Did I wake you?" The woman turned around, covering her chest with her hand, a bit shy.
She had a healthy wheat-colored skin tone, long and straight legs, standing there attractively half-covered.
Elijah felt a warmth in his heart as he patted the bed. "It's not really waking up; it's still early. Co back and sleep a bit more."
"No, I have to go help Bella with cooking!" Sophia pouted, looking at Elijah's heated gaze, fully aware of his intentions.
Hmph! He ca to my room late last night and stirred up trouble; isn't that enough?
After saying this, Sophia ignored him and turned to find clothes to wear.
Watching her put on a bra and shorts, Elijah sighed twice, involuntarily recalling the scenes from last night.
He had gone to Charlotte's room first yesterday to discuss improving their thods for zombie killing today. However, their discussion turned into a fierce sparring match, during which their clothes were torn off.
Although Elijah had advanced to Tier 3, Charlotte was not inferior; her control over her body at Tier 2 was even stronger than before, quickly gaining the upper hand.
Naturally, Elijah refused to back down, vigorously and bravely striving ahead, eventually turning the tables and pinning Charlotte down.
Unfortunately, before he could savor his victory for long, Charlotte kicked him out.
She said she was now a Sage, in the middle of ditative cultivation, and told him to find his other lovers.
Elijah could only leave indignantly, thinking about those long legs that hadn't been satisfied yet, unconsciously coming to Sophia's door.
Among the group, only Sophia's two athletic long legs could rival Charlotte's.
Sophia didn't disappoint him in the end, letting him experience a different taste than on the yacht!
Seeing Sophia fully dressed, Elijah didn't linger in bed anymore, quickly putting on his clothes and then leaving the room with Sophia following behind.
Sophia went to help Bella make breakfast, while Elijah, not far from the group's training location outside the villa, began to ditate and practice the Hun Yuan Technique.
Since learning the Hun Yuan Technique, he hadn't practiced it for long each day, spending most of his days surrounded by won.
Yesterday, Charlotte didn't let him have his way, and there was also a part of this reason.
Reflecting on himself, Elijah realized that his strength had grown too quickly recently, and he hadn't felt any crisis, becoming sowhat complacent.
After Charlotte woke him up, he decided to ditate for a while every morning and evening from now on, not always indulging in won.
Especially now that he had advanced to Tier 3, he could only rely on practicing the Hun Yuan Technique to improve in the future.
Elijah concentrated his mind and soon entered a state of ditation.
Not long after Elijah entered ditation, Daisy and Charlotte also walked out of the villa.
Both of them were satisfied to see Elijah earnestly practicing.
Recently, Daisy felt that the effect of practicing the Body Forging Art was becoming less obvious, so she also focused on practicing the Hun Yuan Technique to enhance her abilities.
The current effect was quite good; she felt that after a while, she might also advance to Tier 2 like Charlotte did, relying on her own efforts.
So when she saw Elijah ditating, she didn't join the morning exercise but sat down nearby to practice ditation like Elijah.
One by one, the won gathered, and Charlotte began to organize the morning exercises.
The early morning passed quickly. After the group finished their morning exercises, they returned to the villa together for breakfast.
Sophia and Hannah had heard Elijah organizing combat training to kill zombies practically last night and decided not to go fishing today, opting instead to join them for practical training.
Since Daisy, Fiona, and Lily didn't need to move supplies from the mall either, they also wanted to join, so the group decided to split into two teams.
Charlotte led one team, and Elijah led the other.
Olivia, Katherine, Bella, Grace, and Daisy followed Charlotte because she had more newcors. Their team headed north, establishing a buffer zone as they did yesterday and connecting with Daisy's neighborhood.
Elijah, with Lily, Fiona, Hannah, and Sophia, went along the road towards the mall, exploring the shops on either side.
Previously, because of the mall, they hadn't had ti to check out these street-side shops.
Now that the mall was mostly moved, it was a good opportunity to take a look around.
After discussing, everyone changed into their outing clothes, drove out of Azure Isle.
As usual, Abigail was left on the island with a few zombies to guard it, and Whitey patrolled the periter of the island. Elijah wasn't worried about anyone stealing from his house.
When they reached the shore service area, Gabriel and the others were unpacking the deliveries from the van they had harvested yesterday.
The van full of deliveries satisfied their urge to open packages, revealing all sorts of strange things that they piled to one side.
Elijah set Jasmine down and gave a few instructions before leading the team away.
The two groups parted ways at the Coastal Boulevard, with Elijah heading south and Charlotte's group heading north.
Driving slowly, Elijah checked yesterday's established buffer zones along the way, ensuring they hadn't been breached by zombies or damaged by humans. Despite their cautious pace, they quickly reached the intersection leading to the shopping street.
As they turned into the intersection, the scenery abruptly changed, as if transitioning from the fresh expanse of the coastline into a bustling urban area.
This was only the second ti Sophia had been this far from the sea since the apocalypse began. Previously, she had spent her days on the boat; the last ti she had co ashore was to find dicine for her brother, narrowly escaping a zombie encirclent.
This made her nervous, constantly using her perceptual abilities and minimizing her presence as much as possible.
"There are zombies ahead!" Sophia imdiately warned as soon as she spotted them.
Elijah glanced over; they were still more than 40 ters away, likely sensed by Sophia just monts before she alerted them.
"No need to be so tense!" Elijah reassured her with a pat.
"Have you killed zombies before?"
"Yes, I have," Sophia replied.
She took a few deep breaths to calm herself down.
"These zombies are nothing to you now. You have to trust in your abilities!" Elijah encouraged her.
"I understand," Sophia nodded, tightening her grip on the harpoon in her hand.
Following their routine, Elijah first dealt with several zombies near the vehicles, allowing everyone to practice their courage.
Unlike Bella and Olivia from yesterday, Lily and Hannah had experience killing zombies, so their movents were very skilled.
Fiona had even killed people before, so zombies naturally didn't intimidate her.
Elijah's main focus was training Sophia. As a perceptive ability user, she would inevitably follow the team on explorations, so she needed the courage to face zombies alone in tis of danger.
Under Elijah's guidance, the group practiced their zombie-killing skills while collecting supplies from shops on both sides, though not at a particularly fast pace.
During this ti, Fiona also drove a car back to the shore service area to deliver a load of supplies.
Half the morning quickly passed by. Just as they were thinking about finding a nearby shop to rest, Sophia suddenly pointed towards the direction of the mall.
"Here co a few people from over there!" she exclaid.
Elijah squinted and indeed saw five or six people running towards them. The one at the front seed quite familiar—it was Quentin!
However, he looked quite disheveled at the mont!
