Tomorrow, Wendy promised to arrange a eting between him and Matthew.
It was a good opportunity! As for Matthew's suspected mind-reading ability, Nora's blocking ability should be able to interfere.
If it didn't work, he'd act according to the situation and, if necessary, fight them head-on!
Capture the leader first, take Matthew down!
Elijah chatted with the man a bit more, but seeing he couldn't get any more useful information and that it was getting late, he prepared to leave.
Before leaving, Elijah asked the man, "After talking for so long, I still don't know your na?"
The man was silent for a while before slowly saying, "My na is Hayden."
"Alright then, bear with it for a bit longer, I'll rescue you soon!" Elijah said, gradually disappearing from Hayden's sight.
"Let's hope so," Hayden murmured to himself.
Elijah returned smoothly to his room.
In the morning, he heard noises outside indicating it was ti for breakfast.
He left his room and joined the others, led by Wendy, to the dining hall.
On his way out of the hallway, Elijah noticed another team led by soone nad Dominic.
After they left, another group rushed into the hallway, opening each door. Soon, Elijah faintly heard zombie growls!
"Soone turned into a zombie again last night!" Gavin, the chubby man, whispered to Elijah.
"So those people were dealing with the zombies?"
Elijah scanned the newcors who had eaten with them yesterday.
Out of over twenty people, three or four were missing, leaving only about a dozen.
"Exactly!" Gavin shrugged, "I noticed a group outside yesterday morning and wondered why. After asking so of the earlier arrivals on the second floor, I found out that every morning, there's a team that checks the rooms to ensure the group's safety!"
Elijah remained silent. For a normal survivor base, this kind of inspection was good, but after learning about YLK Group's deeds last night, all he felt was a chill!
Out of these twenty-plus survivors, how many would ultimately survive?
Elijah pondered quietly while Gavin ate with gusto, even kindly serving Elijah his breakfast.
Today's breakfast was hot porridge with pickles and so leftover at from the previous night.
"Quentin, hurry up and eat!" Gavin urged enthusiastically.
"You eat, I have no appetite," Elijah replied calmly.
"Man cannot live on bread alone; missing a al makes you hungry!" Gavin was montarily stunned but then smiled and urged him again.
Seeing Elijah had no appetite, he shalessly moved the food in front of himself and started eating.
Wendy watched everything from a distance but didn't co over to take care of Elijah this ti.
After breakfast, the others were sent back to their rooms, but Wendy called Elijah aside.
"Quentin, I ntioned you to the boss last night. He has ti now, so I'll take you to et him."
"Really?" Elijah feigned a look of surprise.
"Let's go then!"
Wendy led Elijah into the hallway, starting to ascend the stairs. As they walked, Elijah chatted with Wendy, probing for information.
"Sister Wendy, besides the boss and you, who else in the group should I be cautious around? I'd hate to offend soone by accident!"
"Hmm... Actually, you've t two of them already. Theodore, who handled the zombies in the dining hall yesterday, and Dominic, who dealt with the guest room zombies this morning. As for the others... they're not in the base at the mont, so you don't need to worry about them," Wendy mused for a mont, then answered, pointing out two people Elijah had already encountered.
Theodore... that must be the gloomy man!
And Dominic was the one leading the team handling the zombie outbreak this morning.
Elijah had seen both of them in the previous mall and again yesterday and today.
Including Wendy, that made three high-level mbers of the YLK Group that he knew of.
No, if he rembered correctly, Nathan was also a high-level mber of the YLK Group and related to Matthew!
Nathan was likely one of those not currently at the base.
They probably still didn't know Nathan had been dealt with by him!
"I see... Thanks for the tips!" Elijah expressed gratitude on the surface, his eyes admiring Wendy's graceful figure, while internally, he was deep in thought.
He wondered if there were more people outside.
Excluding the newly recruited newcors, there were about 40 people in the YLK Group, as he had observed with his sensory abilities the previous day.
With 40 people, having 6-8 leaders seed reasonable; any more would be excessive.
This count included Matthew. By this logic, there could be two to four leaders he hadn't t yet, all of whom were outside.
"I wonder when everyone will gather. Oh well, I'll play it by ear," Elijah muttered to himself, sending so instructions to Abigail through their ntal link, asking her to be ready.
Soon, Wendy led Elijah to the sixth floor!
Elijah noticed a few security guards at the stairwells on the second to fourth floors, but from the fifth floor onward, the stairwells were empty.
"It seems Matthew is quite confident," Elijah thought, looking around.
Wendy stopped at a door and knocked. "Chairman, I've brought the new recruit who has awakened an ability!"
"Co in!" A cold female voice replied.
Elijah was stunned. "A woman? Not Matthew?"
"Okay!" Wendy pushed open the door and turned, noticing Elijah standing there in a daze. "Quentin, why are you just standing there? Co in!"
"Oh! Oh!" Elijah, still dazed, followed Wendy inside.
The room was an extrely luxurious suite.
The large reception area featured plush, comfortable sofas, a coffee table, an office desk, and a chair.
Elijah's attention was imdiately drawn to the woman sitting on the sofa.
She was wearing a black and white professional outfit, her hair neatly styled in an updo.
Her severe expression and the powerful aura she exuded made it clear she was a commanding presence.
Elijah instinctively judged her to be a very formidable woman.
But the next mont, he found her oddly familiar.
Shaking off the effect of her presence, Elijah closely examined her.
She had a refined, attractive face, a great figure with a notably full chest, and her black stockings-clad legs under the skirt were particularly alluring.
While Elijah couldn't pinpoint her exact age, she exuded a mature charm similar to Lillian's.
"Chairman, this is Quentin. He joined us yesterday and has already awakened an ability!" Wendy introduced.
