Apocalypse Rebirth: Beauties Surround Me-Chapter 68: Who said we’re family
Not only Elijah, but anyone in the apocalypse who saw Crystal Grass would fight tooth and nail to obtain it.
Elijah understood that this matter was definitely not that simple, otherwise Christopher wouldn't have casually told him about it.
Indeed, in their subsequent conversation, Elijah understood the reason behind Christopher's generosity.
According to him, the Crystal Grass was located within a group of zombies in the city area.
Several mutated zombies and even second-tier zombies were waiting nearby for the Crystal Grass to mature.
Many teams had tried various methods to obtain it but had all failed.
Several ability holders had even died there.
Typically, when an ability holder died from a zombie bite, they would become a mutated zombie.
This caused the zombie group there to grow stronger, with more mutants, making it increasingly difficult to obtain the Crystal Grass.
However, what was difficult for others to cross was just a piece of cake for Elijah because he didn't need to go in himself.
He could control the zombies.
By using the controlled zombies properly, he could safely infiltrate the zombie group and find an opportunity to obtain the spiritual plant.
The prerequisite was to have enough visibility.
Luckily, the Crystal Grass was located in a small square behind a building where Elijah could clearly see it and the surrounding layout from the building.
Otherwise, it wouldn't have been easily discovered by anyone.
Although Elijah was tempted, he felt that everything was too coincidental and didn't act rashly.
After all, there were still several people who knew about his abilities, such as Christopher.
Was Christopher deliberately revealing this information, waiting to take advantage of him after he succeeded?
No one could say for sure.
After the apocalypse, he never hesitated to use the worst thoughts to guess people's hearts.
Elijah endured for a few days without making a move, and everything remained calm.
In the end, unable to resist his greed, he sent members of his own team to investigate on-site.
Everything was just as Christopher had said.
Elijah couldn't resist any longer and personally scouted the area, using a telescope to see the soon-to-be-mature Crystal Grass.
Excited, he began to plan his actions. freewёbn૦νeɭ.com
Everything went smoothly.
He hid in the building, used the telescope to observe, and directed the zombies to infiltrate the zombie group.
Then, amidst the screams of a group of mutated zombies, he successfully picked the Crystal Grass.
By controlling the zombies, he managed to evade pursuit several times.
As a precaution, Elijah didn't immediately let the controlled zombies hand over the Crystal Grass to him.
Instead, he controlled them to go to a certain place, and he went to retrieve it himself.
During the transfer, a group of people who had long been lying in ambush suddenly attacked him.
Among them was Christopher, whom he recognized, and the leader was none other than Nathan, the actual controller of the western suburbs of Neoville City, and one of the few third-tier superpower holders in Neoville City.
He was also Matthew's top henchman, nicknamed "Lost Morals" Nathan.
Nathan, on behalf of Matthew, had recruited Elijah several times, but Elijah had always refused.
The reason was simple: judging from Matthew's nickname, Elijah knew the style of this group of people.
But why was Nathan so eager to recruit Elijah?
Elijah could guess the reason roughly.
After all, the most famous thing "Lost Morals" did was the zombie flesh business, not the literal flesh, but the kind where bodily fluids were exchanged.
Who dared to touch a zombie?
Who wasn't afraid of becoming a zombie through bodily fluid exchange?
But they dared to!
They specifically captured attractive female zombies and took various safety measures to entertain their guests!
This kind of thing was fresh! And after the apocalypse, without the restraints of law and morality, there were many perverts.
There were even people who came to try it themselves and later gained fame.
At first, Elijah didn't believe it until he heard it from an eyewitness, his "master," Keymaster.
Before meeting Elijah, Keymaster had wandered in the west city for a while.
He happened to hear about it and went to try it out, then often boasted about it as a strange tale to tell them.
"The taste of zombies is really good!"
So, when Elijah received the first solicitation, he suspected that the other party knew about his abilities.
He wants to recruit me to help with this kind of work because my superpower is just perfect for their business!
Killing zombies is for survival.
Elijah doesn't have a moral burden. He doesn't even consider killing for his own safety a big deal.
But playing with corpses in such a perverted way, he just can't do it!
So, he didn't hesitate to refuse!
But why would Nathan be mixed up with Christopher?
Elijah couldn't figure it out.
Because they didn't find the Crystal Grass on him, Christopher pressured him to hand it over.

Elijah learned about the cause and effect under these conditions.
Matthew had been looking for superpower holders like Elijah.
Christopher immediately sold him out when he first learned about Elijah's superpower.
That's why Nathan came all the way to recruit him.
But he didn't expect Elijah to refuse outright. So, when their recruitment failed, they turned hostile.
Christopher, seeing this, thought it was better to make use of Elijah.
He convinced Nathan to set a trap for Elijah after getting him to help obtain the Crystal Grass, and then kill him.
Most of what Christopher told Elijah was true. However, the Crystal Grass was actually discovered by Christopher's men.
The casualties were also his men.
When Christopher saw the surroundings, he immediately thought of Elijah's ability, knowing he could safely obtain it. Sure enough.
But he didn't expect Elijah to be so cautious. After obtaining it, Elijah wasn't in a hurry and didn't even have it on him.
Elijah knew he was as good as dead, so he didn't go for the Crystal Grass and led them in different directions.
The ultimate goal was a group of mutated zombies that several zombies he controlled were leading.
If he was going to die, they would die together!...
"Now that we all know each other! We're practically family!" Christopher put on a fake smile.
"Who said we're family?" Daisy snorted.
"Tsk, I know exactly what kind of person you are. No need for this fake niceness," Elijah shook his head.
As one of his biggest enemies in his past life, Elijah hadn't sought revenge on him these days for two reasons: first, his own strength wasn't enough, and second, he didn't know where Christopher lived.
Although the other party claimed to be from the same neighborhood in his past life, who knew if it was a lie?
Or a deliberate attempt to get closer to him!
So, Elijah didn't waste time looking for him.
After all, his trajectory was confirmed.
There were only a few places in the suburbs of Neoville City where he could survive.
When things settled down, it wouldn't be too late to seek revenge.
He just didn't expect Christopher wasn't lying about the neighborhood.
Since they've met now, he couldn't let him off.
The past causes, the present effects.
Some things were already predetermined.
