Chapter 56: Goodbye
A woman without a driver's license who is passionate about driving is hard to come by.
"Well, we're off. If everything goes smoothly, we'll be back tomorrow afternoon!"
"Safe travels!"
"Take care!"
The four women chimed in.
Their words were sincere. Through brief contact, especially with Daisy, they had confirmed that the two of them were trustworthy individuals, unlike Isaac, whose mind was clouded by lust!
"Fiona, Hannah, Grace, Katherine, goodbye!" Daisy waved to them.
Elijah slowly started the vehicle and drove towards the outskirts of the island.
The sky gradually darkened, making it difficult to see the road clearly.
But it didn't affect Elijah's driving.
As they got closer to the shore, Elijah's connection with the mutant female zombies became tighter.
After confirming Isaac's escape in the morning, Elijah ordered the female zombies to lie in wait.
Otherwise, Gabriel and Emily would have long become prey to the zombies.
Thinking of the two, Elijah also began to receive some information from them through the consciousness seed.
"Hmm? Why are their heartbeats so fast? Is there danger?"
Worrying about them, Elijah immediately accelerated and soon arrived at the service area by the shore.
It was even darker by the shore, but a room in the service area was already lit with dim candlelight.
"Let's go, let's say hi to Gabriel and the others!"
Elijah signaled Daisy to follow him. The two didn't activate their invisibility but were accustomed to moving quietly, making no sound.
As they got closer, they could hear voices inside clearly, and Elijah's face immediately turned strange.
"No wonder their heartbeats are so fast..."
At this moment, Daisy also heard a faint moaning of a woman.
"Puppy love!"
Daisy muttered to herself, recalling the scene she saw in the morning. She didn't expect to encounter it again in the evening.
She immediately pulled Elijah away from there.
"Hmph, let's not bother them, let's go!"
Before leaving, Elijah took another glance from afar and vaguely saw two figures intertwined.
He sighed inwardly. Emily was really daring.
People like her in the apocalypse might not thrive, but at least they wouldn't worry about food and clothing.
Elijah didn't have any strong feelings towards her. People like her would only become more common in the future.
Emily just happened to stand out more at this stage.
But he had subconsciously excluded Emily from Azure Isle.
Since yesterday morning when he noticed the electric tricycle downstairs was missing, he had been observing.
After two days and one night, he was very sure that the man opposite and Daisy had disappeared.
As for why they disappeared?
He didn't care!
Right now, all he could think of was that there were plenty of supplies and a woman in the opposite building.
If he could get over there, he could seize those supplies and the woman.
Unfortunately, although there were no zombies downstairs anymore, he still didn't have the courage to go out.
In the building where he was, there were still quite a few zombies wandering around upstairs and downstairs.
But he couldn't hold out much longer.
The food and drinking water at home were running out.
Just when he was scratching his head in worry, he suddenly heard the sound of fighting in the corridor outside.
Benjamin immediately crawled to the door and looked out through the peephole.
He saw a middle-aged man wielding a baseball bat, fighting against the zombies in the corridor.
The middle-aged man was very strong, wearing a similar tactical vest to Elijah's, with thick cardboard taped to his sleeves.
He swung the baseball bat, each hit landing heavily on the zombies' heads, blood splattering everywhere.
The zombies couldn't withstand more than a couple of hits before being knocked down by him.
Seeing the zombies outside being eliminated by the middle-aged man, Benjamin's heart stirred. He immediately opened the door and said to the middle-aged man, "Big brother, take me with you. I know where there's food!"
Seeing the mop handle in Benjamin's hand, the middle-aged man didn't even bother with him.
Who didn't know where there was food? Was there a need for him to say it?
There were plenty of supermarkets outside!
Benjamin was being deliberate. He just wanted to follow behind the middle-aged man and let him clear the way.
Just then, the zombies downstairs surged up like sharks smelling blood.
The middle-aged man faced them head-on, effortlessly dispatching the zombies.
Benjamin only needed to shout "Come on" and remain vigilant against the ones above.
But he wasn't overly concerned about the ones above.
The building he was in had 18 floors. Since this big brother had killed his way down from above, presumably the zombies on the upper six floors had been cleared, otherwise wouldn't he be blocking his own way back?
Most of his attention was still on the bottom, watching the middle-aged man deal with the zombies.
It had to be said, this big brother was really fierce.
Perhaps he had been a soldier when he was young, or had practiced martial arts, or some other form of combat.
A single zombie was nothing to fear, easily dealt with in two or three strikes.
When there were more zombies, he kicked the extras down.
Sometimes when it was too dangerous, he would use his arm to block, relying on the thick cardboard and tape on top of it as a shield.
In any case, he relied solely on a baseball bat, fiercely striking his way down from the twelfth floor to the third floor, his clothes stained with dark blood.
