Apocalypse Rebirth: Beauties Surround Me

Daisy found Olivia's abilities quite interesting.

Besides her heightened sense of perception, she could also discern others' intentions through colors, which could greatly benefit the team.

For instance, she could identify if new members had ulterior motives.

Taking matters into her own hands, Daisy decided to include Olivia in the team, believing Elijah wouldn't object.

After all, Olivia was a sweet and charming girl!

After a brief conversation, Daisy told Olivia to rest well.

She then went out again to search for her parents while also clearing nearby zombies and collecting corpse cores.

She only returned to the villa at dawn, feeling exhausted.

"Olivia, I'm tired and going to take a nap. If you're hungry, go ahead and eat. Don't worry, there's plenty of food. Also, keep an eye out for any danger, and wake me if anything happens," Daisy instructed, yawning as she noticed Olivia had almost finished eating.

"Alright, Daisy, you get some rest!"

Olivia nodded earnestly.

She lacked combat skills and was too afraid to fight zombies, relying solely on her abilities to evade them.

Having found such a dependable ally, she was determined not to let go.

"Don't be so nervous. Just use your abilities to keep an eye out. Trust yourself; your abilities are really strong!" Daisy reassured her.

Unconsciously, she had grown to a point where she could comfort others.

"Really? I'm glad I can help you!" Olivia beamed with happiness.

"Absolutely! Now, I'm off to rest." Daisy went to her bedroom and locked the door.

On the road, no matter who she met, she had learned to always stay on guard.

This was something she had learned from Elijah.

She drew her knife from its sheath and placed it within easy reach before lying down fully clothed and gradually falling asleep.

Around noon, under the blazing sun, three figures approached the shore two to three kilometers from the Azure Isle service area by boat.

They docked their boat and carefully advanced along the sparsely populated coastal park, soon reaching the outer area of the Azure Isle service zone.

Just then, two trucks roared down the coastal highway towards Azure Isle. The three men hid in the bushes, catching a glimpse of two pretty female drivers.

"They've already started collecting supplies?" The man on the left muttered in disbelief, his eyes filled with resentment.

"Those are the pretty girls you mentioned? They look quite good!" The man in the middle, evidently the leader, remarked.

"Not just good, they're stunning, Jacob. Your standards are really high!"

Another man chimed in. If Fiona and Hannah, who had just passed by, saw these three, they would recognize one of them.

The man who first spoke and glared at them with resentment was none other than Isaac, who had once fled in disgrace.

"Jacob, I wasn't lying! And besides these two, there are four more women on the island, all top-notch!" Isaac insisted.

"No matter how great they are, it's useless if we can't get them!" Jacob replied, his expression darkening as he glanced at Isaac.

"Let me confirm once more: there are only three ability users on the island?"

"Jacob, I swear on my life, there are only three ability users. Two have invisibility powers, and the other one's abilities are unclear, but it should be one of the two women who just passed," Isaac assured, thumping his chest.

"That won't be easy to handle, especially with two people who can turn invisible…" Jacob mused.

"The fact that they can go out and gather supplies means their internal situation is stable. The longer we wait, the stronger they'll become, and who knows if other ability users will join them," Isaac cautioned earnestly.

He harbored a deep hatred for Elijah and Fiona, vowing to return for revenge.

Even if he couldn't reclaim the island, he wouldn't let them have it easy.

Thus, he had allied himself with Jacob, the crime boss of Fisherman's Wharf market, hoping to use Jacob to take over the island.

After much persuasion and temptation, Jacob was finally convinced and agreed to come over and observe.

"This place is indeed good, easy to defend and hard to attack. You said there's electricity on the island?" another man asked Isaac.

"Yes, Theodore. They use wind and solar power! There are also several yachts at the island's dock!" Theodore's eyes lit up at the mention of yachts.

"Jacob, so what if there are two people with invisibility abilities? They can only ambush, but they wouldn't stand a chance in a direct fight. I heard that the girl Sophia at the dock has a perception ability. We could use her to counter the invisible ones," Theodore suggested, his expression scheming.

"Isn't she the pretty one? I heard she's quite tough and might not be willing," Jacob replied, his interest piqued.

"That's easy. She has a younger brother, right? I heard he was bitten by something while fishing…" Theodore whispered a few words to Jacob, whose face soon broke into a smile.

"You sly devil, always coming up with bad ideas! This task is yours," Jacob said.

"Got it, Jacob!" Theodore responded eagerly.

As they spoke, Fiona and Hannah drove back, passing them again.

Jacob squinted, this time getting a clear look at the two women, who were indeed stunning.

More importantly, their frequent trips suggested they had found a secure source of supplies, possibly a convenience store or supermarket, which explained their urgency in bringing back loads of supplies.

"Jacob…" Isaac started to say something but was interrupted by Jacob.

"Alright, let's head back and gather our men," Jacob ordered.

"Yes, Jacob!" Isaac and Theodore replied, their faces brimming with excitement.

As they left, Isaac glanced back at Azure Isle, vowing silently to have his revenge on Fiona once they took over the island.

In the underground supermarket storeroom, Elijah, unaware that someone was planning to take over his island, was busy moving supplies.

Suddenly, he sensed a strange disturbance, as if a controlled person or zombie was struggling.

His intuition alerting him, he rushed out.

Seeing him, Hannah put down her supplies and followed quickly, asking, "What's wrong?"

"Zombies… are starting to awaken!"

Elijah replied as he quickly reached the storeroom door, where Fiona was already armed with two bone spikes, ready for battle.

She had been loading supplies onto the truck when a zombie, which had been docile until then, suddenly roared, startling her.

Knowing these zombies were intentionally kept by Elijah to observe their awakening, she did not attack but instead prepared for defense.

The first zombie to act up, a female store clerk, contorted and twisted her body unnaturally, especially her arms, which seemed boneless.

Fiona watched as the zombie's hands spread wide and sharp nails grew from her fingers, extending to about ten centimeters before stopping.

Once the nails stopped growing, the zombie gradually calmed down.

By the time Elijah arrived, the sense of struggle had vanished.

"Is the mutation over?" Elijah wondered aloud. He carefully sensed the information from the female zombie but felt no energy flow.

Fiona recounted what had happened. Elijah instructed the zombie to raise its hands, and the clinking sound of its nails was sharp and metallic.

"They seem very sharp," Elijah noted. He then commanded the zombie to slash at the side of a nearby cargo truck.

The screeching sound of metal echoed as the iron surface of the truck was scratched, leaving visible marks.

Though not deep, these marks were significant since they were on iron.

If those claws struck a human, the damage would be lethal.

"Although I can't replicate this, it's still quite powerful. It can serve as an effective combat addition," Elijah concluded, nodding.

This was a physical mutation rather than an ability awakening, so it was understandable he couldn't mimic it.

It was similar to the telekinesis zombie and the five-eyed zombie they had encountered before—one had an awakened ability, and the other a physical mutation.

The five-eyed zombie's mutated eyes, which could see through Daisy's stealth, were particularly intriguing.

Just then, the other two female store clerk zombies also began to show signs of mutation!
