Apocalypse Rebirth: Beauties Surround Me-Chapter 71: Arrival
"Was that guy just now the mutated zombie you guys talked about?" Charlotte asked, her eyes bright as if she had discovered an interesting toy.
"That's right! Just like humans, mutated zombies have all sorts of abilities. Some are particularly difficult to deal with. The one just now is one of them. You can only kill it from a distance.Close range... even those with the same power system may not be able to deal with it!"
Elijah glanced back at Charlotte.
"Oh, by the way, you mentioned giving me a surprise earlier! What's the surprise?"
"Once we reach our destination, if it's really as good as you said, come to my room tonight, and I'll show you!" Charlotte said, a hint of suggestive smile playing on her face.
"What surprise? Can I come along to see it?" Daisy asked curiously without much thought.
Bella, on the other hand, glanced oddly at Elijah and Charlotte, then turned indifferent. "Sure, you can, but I'm afraid you won't see it," Charlotte replied with a slight smile.
"Oh, come on, don't make it so mysterious!" Daisy grumbled.
"Oops! Seems like it might not be appropriate for a man and a woman alone together. Since you're so curious, Daisy, why not come along and watch from the sidelines?"
"Hmph! I'm not curious..."
...
Having shaken off the mutated zombies, the road ahead was calm.
Occasionally, a few zombies caught up, but Elijah paid them no mind, instead driving steadily.
Soon, they reached the coastal highway.
Here, the safety was even higher.
After nearly two hours, they finally arrived at the service area on the shore of Azure Isle.
Driving into the parking lot, Gabriel and Emily, seeing the unfamiliar vehicle approach, were very cautious.
It wasn't until they saw Elijah that they came over with smiling faces to open the door.
The bridge to Azure Isle was behind the service area, surrounded by houses and walls.
To enter the island, one could only pass through a large gate specifically for vehicles or through the parking lot in front of the service hall, complete the procedures, and then transfer to a sightseeing tram to enter the island.
Naturally, Elijah and his group didn't need to transfer; they drove the escort vehicle straight in.
As the gate closed, Gabriel came over with a grin. "Elijah, when did you leave last night? I didn't see you guys!"
Elijah's expression was strange as he glanced at Emily beside him. Damn, he's flirting, as if he would see us!
"Hmph! Do we need to tell you when we left?" Daisy wasn't polite to him at all; it was good enough that she didn't scold them to their faces!
"No need! No need!" Gabriel immediately shrank back when he heard Daisy speak up.
"Ahem, don't say that, we're all family now!" Elijah hurriedly placated. "Gabriel, Emily, come over to the island in the afternoon, and we'll have a meeting together!"
"Alright, big brother!"
"That's settled then, we'll head into the island!"
"Take care, big brother, Daisy sister!"
Elijah continued driving forward and soon reached the bridge.
The corpses haphazardly strewn on the bridge were now gone, leaving only mottled black-red bloodstains. Elijah nodded to himself.
Fiona and the other women are quite efficient; they've cleaned up the bodies so quickly!
"Wow! It's so beautiful!" Bella exclaimed, looking out at the vast sea, her mood immediately lightening.
"It's not bad!" Charlotte nodded. "Hehe, when we get to the island, you'll find it even better!"
The group chatted and laughed, quickly arriving on the island. The vehicle stopped in front of the luxury hotel, where Fiona and her group had been waiting.
Elijah got out of the car, opened the door, let Bella and the others out, and introduced everyone to each other.
Fiona watched as the women and the dog got out of the car one by one, her worry finally easing.
But her expression became even stranger.
The dog immediately got out of the car and started running around happily.
Bella and Charlotte looked at the four women, who were also observing the newcomers: two women, two zombies, and a dog.
At last, they all unconsciously looked at Elijah, except for Daisy, who greeted him happily and asked, "Elijah, where are we staying next? Is it this hotel or should we check out some other villas?"
"Are there still zombies on this island?" Elijah asked Fiona.
"No, we only have those people here. We've already checked the bodies and confirmed there are no stragglers," Fiona replied without looking at the two zombies, then turned away.
"Alright then, why don't you show us around the island first?" Elijah suggested.
"Sure, this way. Let's take the sightseeing tram," Fiona replied.
"Okay!"
They walked over to a row of commuter sightseeing trams parked nearby and chose the largest one.
Fiona sat in the driver's seat, Elijah sat in the passenger seat, and the others took their seats casually. Abigail also climbed aboard.
The mutated female zombie, however, was ordered by Elijah to guard the bridge.
Fiona noticed this and understood that although Abigail was a zombie, her status was not ordinary, especially since Daisy kept subconsciously paying attention to her and occasionally chatting with her.
Fiona started the tram, heading north first.
"Our current position is to the west of Azure Isle. Here, we've built this seven-story luxury hotel to accommodate regular guests," Fiona began explaining the island's situation as she drove.
"Hmm, by 'regular guests', you don't mean regular as we understand it, do you?" Elijah interjected.
"Those who can't afford to rent an entire luxury villa are considered regular guests in our eyes," Fiona replied calmly. fɾeeweɓnѳveɭ.com
"Fair enough," Elijah didn't interrupt further, allowing Fiona to continue. discover-MVLeMpYr-novels
"To the west, there's the only bridge leading out of the island; I don't need to elaborate on that!"
As the tram traveled along the tree-lined road, Fiona suddenly pointed ahead.
"The north side of the island is quite steep and not suitable for recreation, so we've built a seawater purification system here to supply fresh water to the entire island, as well as produce some byproducts such as salt."
As she finished speaking, a unique-looking building appeared ahead. It didn't look like any industrial facility from the outside; both its architectural style and exterior color blended well with the surrounding environment.
"By the way, the engineer responsible for maintaining this island's facilities has unfortunately turned into a zombie!" Fiona continued.
"If this seawater purification system breaks down, won't the whole island be without water?" Elijah frowned, feeling troubled. He didn't understand this stuff, and neither did Bella, Daisy, or Charlotte.
"Don't worry, we have someone who knows a bit about it, Grace!" Fiona said, turning to Grace, who was sitting in the back.
"Grace is the daughter of the engineer I mentioned earlier. Her father planned to work for a few more years and then have Grace take over after he retired. So Grace knows a bit about all the equipment and facilities on this island!"
"Hello, everyone," Grace greeted the others nervously.
Elijah gradually began to understand. Was Fiona subtly showcasing the value of their group?
