Apocalypse Rebirth: Beauties Surround Me

Chapter 204: the heartless villain, must be there

"Alright, don't worry. Within a five-kilometer radius, I can mimic your abilities. No one can harm me right now," Elijah said calmly.

Hearing this, Lillian felt much more at ease.

Elijah didn't linger any longer. He activated his invisibility ability and headed straight towards the residential area where the three men had come from.

Not long after Elijah left, Lillian hesitated for a moment before finally approaching Abigail.

"You're... called Abigail, right?" Lillian asked.

"Yes!" Abigail replied, playing with the corpse core in her hand and looking at Lillian.

Lillian felt a bit uneasy under Abigail's blood-red gaze, but remembering that she was controlled by Elijah gave her some comfort. She scrutinized Abigail closely.

Although Abigail's appearance had changed somewhat after becoming a zombie, she looked increasingly familiar to Lillian, especially with the same name.

So, she couldn't help but ask, "Abigail, don't you recognize me? I'm your Aunt Lillian!"

"Aunt Lillian?" Abigail tilted her head and scrutinized Lillian, then shook her head. "Sorry, I don't remember. Do you know me?"

"I think so," Lillian said hesitantly. "You used to come to my salon for beauty treatments... don't you remember?"

...

The nearest survivor settlement had no guards at the entrance, and Elijah, using his invisibility, entered the area without any issues.

After walking a short distance, he saw a group of people in a heated argument.

The group consisted of about a dozen people, split into two factions.

One faction was led by a man in a suit and glasses who was making an impassioned speech.

"YLK Group is a renowned big company with integrity and strength. We've heard that they welcome survivors to join them. Now that they've extended their territory to this area, this is a great opportunity! Why are you all hesitating? I've heard that the entire west is their territory, and it's very safe there. You've seen their strength—they took over that huge mall with ease!"

"But we were the ones who discovered that mall first and started clearing out the surrounding zombies!" a young man, who looked like a college student, retorted indignantly.

"Finn, you need to face reality. In this zombie-infested apocalypse, strength is what matters. They have a group of awakened ones, while we only have you. We're outmatched, so we couldn't hold onto that mall. I know you're upset, but think about it this way: if we join them, that mall still becomes ours. Plus, there's safety in numbers!" the man with glasses reasoned persuasively.

Hearing their conversation, Elijah's eyes lit up.

YLK Group—that's Olivia's mother, Kylie's company! That's precisely where I'm headed!

It was best to strike decisively.

Moreover, he was alone.

Prolonged combat was not advisable.

He also had Lillian and Abigail to consider.

While Lillian and Nora couldn't contribute much in a fight, their abilities were still crucial.

Most importantly, Abigail and her 16 second-tier zombies were a trump card.

Elijah could use these zombies to bulldoze any settlement.

"But the situation is unclear right now. It's better to proceed cautiously," Elijah thought with a smile.

Since YLK Group was actively recruiting survivors, infiltrating their ranks shouldn't be difficult. Knowing your enemy was crucial for victory.

Once inside, he could assess the situation and then take them down thoroughly.

Elijah also wanted to see how they managed to have so many awakened ones.

He had the knowledge of cultivating spirit plants from his previous life and Bella's healing ability, which allowed for the continuous cultivation of these plants.

He doubted that Matthew's group could have discovered the secrets of spirit plant cultivation so quickly.

Even if they had, without an ability like Bella's, it wouldn't be possible to produce a large number of awakened ones.

Besides this, there was only one other possibility...

Elijah had his suspicions but needed to confirm them himself.

Having made his decision, Elijah headed back. His plan was set; the next step was to arrange for Lillian and the others.

But as he was halfway back, he suddenly felt a violent fluctuation in his consciousness link.

"Is this...Abigail?" Elijah's expression turned serious.

The consciousness link was shaking violently, as if it might break at any moment. This could only mean that Abigail was advancing to the third tier!

Elijah immediately quickened his pace to return!
