Apocalypse Rebirth: Beauties Surround Me

Elijah and Quentin were chatting on the side, and Elijah asked about the mutant zombie they encountered, which had flame abilities and a strong body, similar to one of the zombies Elijah controlled.

Fortunately, the flame ability of that zombie wasn't very powerful, so they managed to slaughter it.

After chatting for a while, Elijah remembered that once the transaction for the perishable goods from the supermarket was completed, there wouldn't be much left.

So he said, "Quentin, the supplies in the supermarket are almost depleted. In two days, we might move to explore other places."

Quentin was startled, as he was still thinking about the awakening potion. "Then... will Elijah still collect corpse cores in the future? How should I contact you..."

"We will still collect corpse cores, as well as the livestock and plants you brought today! If you have any other poultry, we'll take those too!" Elijah replied readily. "As for how to contact..."

Elijah thought for a moment and decided to be straightforward.

Their location wasn't particularly secretive; as long as someone passed by the Coastal Highway at night, they could see the brightly lit Azure Isle.

However, there were currently very few people daring to move around at night, but as time passed, more and more people would start venturing outside.

It was only a matter of time before their location was discovered.

Now Quentin deeply understood the gap between them, so telling him wasn't a big deal.

"Do you know Azure Isle, about four kilometers east from here, near the coast?"

"Of course, but isn't it under development?" Quentin asked in surprise. "So Elijah has taken over there? That's a good place!"

"Exactly! If you need to trade anything in the future, you can find me at the service area on the shore there! The road from here to our island has already been cleared!" Elijah smiled.

"No problem!" Quentin patted his chest, then asked hesitantly, "I don't know when Elijah mentioned the awakening potion... when will it be available?"

Elijah looked at the withered zombie grass and the 20 corpse cores in his hand.

He could make one now.

But this zombie grass couldn't be given to him!

Their own people hadn't fully awakened yet!

However, it wasn't appropriate to keep him hanging either.

After careful consideration, Elijah said, "If Quentin can gather 100 corpse cores or equivalent supplies, I can prepare an awakening potion for you in six days."

"Really?" Quentin's face lit up with surprise.

"Of course!"

"Alright, it's a deal!"

Quentin was delighted. Elijah chuckled and planned to exchange the zombie grass and a few corpse cores Quentin gave him back for 100 corpse cores or a few truckloads of supplies.

Elijah's group hadn't really exerted much effort or spent much time; they basically gained 100 corpse cores or supplies for free!

That's how profitable it was!

And this model was sustainable.

As long as they maintained it, Elijah's group wouldn't have to worry about food and drink in the future.

They could even offer rewards for anything they lacked, and there would be people willing to work for them in exchange for awakening potions.

Of course, doing nothing wasn't an option.

Only with sufficient strength could they maintain all of this!

Currently, except for Grace, Gabriel, and Emily, all of them were awakened.

When the zombie grass was brought back to the island and cultivated, Elijah would arrange for the three of them to awaken.

Then, the next step would be to sell awakening potions in small quantities while advancing their own people to the second stage.

By then, Elijah should also be at the third stage!

This way, they could continue to maintain dominance over external forces.

At this moment, Elijah completely forgot about Xavier... That little brat could wait for now!

"Since Elijah doesn't have much supplies left here, we won't come tomorrow. We'll come find you once we've gathered enough supplies or corpse cores!" Quentin, who had been calculating for a while, spoke up again.

Elijah sensed a hint of satisfaction in his words and couldn't help but probe, "It seems like Quentin has found a good place?"

"Hey, it's nothing compared to Elijah's big supermarket; it's just a small convenience store!" Quentin's smile became even more apparent.

"I see," Elijah nodded. "We currently don't lack food. If Quentin wants to exchange food for awakening potions, we don't want perishables; we only accept items with a shelf life of over a year."

Quentin's smile froze for a moment. "Naturally, naturally."

He also wanted items with a long shelf life! But Elijah was the client; if he wanted awakening potions, Quentin could only comply with his terms, even if it meant changing the exchange rate of corpse cores for food or accepting items with a longer shelf life.

After chatting for a while, the supplies were quickly counted and transported. Seeing that everything was packed up, Quentin waved to Elijah, "Elijah, we'll head back now. See you in a few days!"

"Alright, see you then!"

Quentin's convoy slowly departed, and Elijah pointed to the two cows tied nearby, saying to Lily, "Lily, get these two onto the truck!"

"Sure thing!" Lily rolled up her sleeves and went to tug the two calves. Unexpectedly, they were quite stubborn and refused to move with Lily.

"Hmph! You're defying me!" Lily snorted and slapped one of the calves on the buttocks.

Startled, the calf stumbled forward a few steps, almost falling to the ground.

"Moo~" The other calf, frightened, also tried to run, but Lily held onto the rope firmly, keeping it in place.

Watching this scene, Elijah shook his head and chuckled. Then, he took out a few corpse cores and buried them in the pot of zombie grass. The wilted zombie grass immediately straightened its leaves and revived.

"Exactly as expected," Fiona nodded slightly beside him. This time, Elijah didn't keep anything from her, confirming some of her previous speculations.

"I didn't tell you before, but now you're my person inside and out, so I won't hide anything from you anymore..." Elijah chuckled.

"Is that so? But it seems like there's still someone who isn't yours?" Fiona glanced at him, then at Hannah next to her.

"Well... they're all on the same team!" Elijah quickly changed the subject, explaining Bella's abilities, the cultivation of spirit plants using corpse cores, and speculations about Spirit fish and spirit beasts.

As Fiona listened, her eyes brightened, and she became more confident about the future. On the other hand, Hannah, who was hearing about this for the first time, had a surprised expression on her cold face.

Meanwhile, Lily had finished her struggle with the calves and was leading them away, so she didn't hear the conversation just now.

"You've made a good arrangement!" Fiona nodded in approval after hearing Elijah's plans for the future.

"It's been 14 days since the apocalypse started, and we're not lacking in supplies. In the coming days, there will be many survivors starting to move around, so the most important thing right now is to improve our strength. You mentioned a way to catch Spirit fish; why not take Hannah and Sophia to try it out tomorrow?

Hannah's ability can preserve the fish, and Sophia's ability can help you sense the creatures in the ocean!" Fiona suggested.

"But what about the supermarket here..." Elijah hesitated.

"There's no longer anything important in the supermarket, and we've traveled this road so many times already. Lily and I can handle it completely!" Elijah considered Fiona's proposal seriously.
