Apocalypse Rebirth: Beauties Surround Me-Chapter 46: Intelligence

Elijah helped the man out, and once they were under the sunlight, they could clearly see his appearance.

It seemed like he hadn't seen sunlight in days, as his complexion was somewhat pale. He didn't look very old, probably just graduated from college not too long ago.

His hair was messy, and he looked tired, wearing a dirty and wrinkled suit. He emitted a foul smell all over him.

Facing Elijah, he sobbed and said, "Officer, you've finally come to rescue me! Those three villains outside, did you catch them? They're illegally detaining me! They've kept me locked up for a whole 5 days!"

"Hold on a second!" Daisy, curious, interrupted, "I don't see a watch on you, and it's pitch black inside, how do you know it's been 5 days?"

"Um... (⊙o⊙)...," the man's emotions were interrupted, and he couldn't recover for a moment. Eventually, he weakly replied, "Officer, maybe it's been 6 days! But that's not the point! The point is, I've been illegally detained!"

"Why do you keep calling us Officers? It's kind of awkward!" Daisy interrupted again. "We're not police officers..."

At this point, the man realized, even though the two people in front of him were wearing bulletproof vests, they didn't have badges, and their demeanor didn't resemble police officers.

Especially the girl, who was young, pretty, and vibrant. She looked more like a college student than an officer.

"We're not," Daisy responded. "You're Gabriel, right?" Elijah couldn't bear to watch the two idiots continue chatting, not knowing when they would get to the point.

"Yeah, how do you know my name?" Gabriel's head became even more confused.

"That's not important! Listen to me now. When we arrived, we saw three people heading towards Azure Isle. As they left, we vaguely heard them say they could clean up the zombies on the bridge today. Once they capture Fiona, they'll have food, drinks, and fun! Who is this Fiona?"

"Really? Did they really say that?" Gabriel became excited, struggling to stand up and wanting to run towards the small island. Daisy grabbed him.

"Don't grab me, I need to stop them!"

Gabriel tried to break free.

Nothing happened! He turned his head and confirmed that it was the seemingly fragile girl holding onto him.

He tried to break free again, but still couldn't move!

"Is she really this strong, or am I too weak?" Gabriel wondered.

"Humph, you can't even break free from my grasp, and you want to stop people?" Daisy sneered. "I... I haven't eaten properly for many days, I have no strength!" Gabriel tried to explain.

"And why are you holding me back?" "It seems you haven't understood the situation yet!" Elijah chuckled. "You're now our prisoner. Just answer our questions obediently, or else..." Elijah placed the spear on Gabriel's shoulder, causing him to stagger.

"Why is this so heavy?" Gabriel was shocked, but then he looked at Elijah and Daisy with joy. "My dear sister, I'm saved!"

"Elijah, is this guy stupid?" Daisy watched Gabriel's face change like a dyeing vat, pursed her lips and said.

"I don't know if he's stupid, but he's definitely sick!" "Two officers... No, sorry!" Gabriel's face twisted for a moment, seemingly unsure how to address them. "Two friends, you're Ability Users, right? Please, save my sister!"

"Who's your sister? Why should we save her? And how do you know about Ability Users?"

Elijah asked three questions in a row. Daisy was also very curious.

This guy doesn't seem like an Ability User, and he's been locked up for several days, so how does he know all this?

"My sister is Fiona, she's on Azure Isle!! She's so beautiful, if you rescue her, you can make her your girlfriend..."

Seeing Daisy's stern gaze, Gabriel quickly changed his tune.

"Um... there's a big mansion on the island, with water, electricity, plenty of food, and beautiful surroundings. My sister is the owner of the island. If you save her, she'll definitely agree to give you a villa. Think about it, in this apocalyptic world, there aren't many places with water and electricity, especially such nice ones. And there aren't many zombies around, it's very safe!"

As Gabriel spoke, he became somewhat smug.

After analyzing it like this, he realized how great his family's island was.

It was like paradise in this apocalypse.

"It does sound good!"

Elijah nodded, and Daisy listened eagerly, completely meeting Gabriel's expectations.

"We agree, but you seem to know a lot for someone who's been locked up for so many days," Elijah said.

"Hehe, Emily secretly told me. She said there are zombies everywhere outside, it's like the end of the world. She asked me to compare it to scenes from Resident Evil and The Walking Dead. Is it really like that outside?"

"Worse than that!" In movies and TV shows, you don't have to worry about the people around you suddenly turning into zombies due to virus mutations.

"Ah, is it all true?" Gabriel deflated like a punctured ball. "So, Emily also told you about Ability Users, and some of them are among them?"

Elijah was surprised. In his previous life, he might not have encountered a single Ability User among dozens of people.

How come now, within a few days, everyone he met seemed to have awakened abilities?

Daisy, Charlotte, and now possibly another person.

"Emily mentioned it, but I wasn't sure. Later, a guy named Isaac, who wanted to recruit me to deal with people on the island, showed me his ability."

"Isaac is the one who locked you up here, right? I guess he also awakened his ability."

Elijah had been curious when eavesdropping. Isaac showed no fear of zombies; turns out, he had abilities and was quite confident!

"What ability?" Elijah asked. It's always good to know more about your enemies before dealing with them.

"His skin is very tough, like cowhide, you can't even cut it with a knife!"

A defensive ability?

No wonder! ƒree𝑤ebnσvel.com

First-tier zombies mainly rely on their claws and teeth for attacks.

If his skin is as tough as cowhide, he naturally wouldn't fear first-tier zombies, it'd be like scratching an itch.

As long as he doesn't encounter a large horde of zombies or mutated zombies, his ability could be considered invincible in the early stages.

However, Elijah looked at the spear in his hand and the pistol at his waist, chuckling. Isn't this a coincidence?

Both of his weapons would easily deal with his cowhide-like skin.

Then he thought, could the Fun Haven Entertainment City from his previous life have been built by this person?

Even if it wasn't, it must be related somehow.

"If your sister is the island owner, why do they still want to recruit you to deal with her?" Daisy was puzzled.

"Um... they don't know! They think I'm really one of my sister's security personnel!"

"I knew it! How could security personnel be so weak?" Daisy looked as if her suspicions were confirmed.
