Apocalypse Rebirth: Beauties Surround Me

The mall's upper floors mostly sold phones, electronics, jewelry, cosmetics, bags, clothes, shoes, toys, children's play areas, and had a cinema, along with some dining spots.

Regardless of their current value, Elijah planned to take all the supplies from these places.

"Anyway, I'll have to clear it sooner or later!"

Elijah thought, telling Hannah and Lily:

"You two keep sorting; I'll go clear the zombies in the upper floors of the mall."

"Got it!"

Elijah walked through the passage from the supermarket to the mall and soon reached an escalator.

He had been here earlier when clearing zombies and had placed a few shopping carts at the elevator entrance to prevent zombies from coming down.

Sure enough, several zombies had come due to the noise in the supermarket but were blocked by the carts.

Elijah killed each one with precise spear thrusts and then moved the carts aside, creating a gap. He opened the zombies' skulls, gaining 1 corpse core from a few of them.

"Every little bit counts!"

Elijah didn't mind the small gain, collected the core, and restored the carts to block the entrance again, then continued upstairs to the first floor of the mall.

The zombie salespeople wandering around became excited upon seeing Elijah and swarmed toward him.

Unfazed, Elijah's spear worked like a venomous snake, each strike taking down a zombie.

However, the number of zombies didn't decrease; instead, it increased as the commotion attracted more zombies from the mall's eight interconnected floors.

Some zombies, impatient or unable to find the escalator, jumped down directly.

"Thud! Thud!"

Like watermelons hitting the ground, spreading black and red everywhere!

Some zombies couldn't get up again, and those that did were mostly crippled, hobbling toward Elijah.

Elijah found this amusing, but his spear unceremoniously put them out of their misery.

After continuously stabbing for a while, the zombies gradually stopped coming. Elijah opened the skulls of the dead zombies, collecting 8 more corpse cores.

"That was quite a haul!"

Elijah didn't want to search for zombies one by one anymore. He noticed the jewelry section's counters nearby and his eyes lit up.

"Then let's keep the music playing and the party going?"

Elijah took out a short-handled hammer and smashed it against the glass display case.

The sound of shattering glass echoed throughout the enclosed mall.

Zombies that hadn't responded to the earlier sounds of battle immediately reacted.

They screeched and roared, leaping like moths to a flame, landing with a series of splats on the ground.

Elijah easily dispatched a few zombies that were missing limbs or otherwise incapacitated.

However, every time he fought the zombies, he had to stop smashing the glass, and without noise, the zombies stopped coming on their own.

This greatly reduced his efficiency, but it didn't deter him.

He ran to the neighboring mobile phone store, grabbed two Bluetooth speakers, connected them to his phone, and found some local music to play.

The mall instantly filled with upbeat songs.

"Let's get the party started!"

Elijah couldn't help but dance a few steps, then quickly dispatched a few zombies that had appeared out of nowhere.

Fighting zombies became lighthearted and enjoyable, and after collecting two more corpse cores, the mall quieted down.

Satisfied, Elijah turned off the music. There were definitely still zombies in the mall, hiding in some corner.

But since they hadn't come out with all the noise, they were probably trapped. Elijah began tapping his spear on the ground, creating a "thud" "thud" noise as he wandered around.

From the first to the eighth floor, he found quite a few zombies. Besides those that were crippled from jumping down, struggling near the escalators, he also found several in locked fast food restaurants and cinemas.

To be thorough, Elijah carried the Bluetooth speakers from the eighth floor to the first, playing music as he walked.

After confirming that all the zombies in the mall were eliminated, he prepared to return to the underground supermarket. Passing through the jewelry section, he noticed the broken glass and scattered jewels. Elijah suddenly stopped.

Other than a few billion sperm, he hadn't given Bella and Daisy any gifts. Although these jewels weren't valuable now, a woman's nature is to love beauty. They would likely appreciate them. Why not pick a few to take back as gifts?

But what to choose?

Elijah looked around. There were still many counters, and he spent a moment at each, finding them all quite beautiful.

"I'm such a fool. Why not just take more? There's no one to stop me now, and aren't there two girls downstairs?"

Elijah slapped his forehead!

Since he was giving gifts, he couldn't favor one over the other. He decided to give each one and see if the girls downstairs liked his selections.

Elijah ran to the bag section, found two large backpacks, and began stuffing them with rings, necklaces, bracelets, bangles—everything, gold, colorful, diamond, or jade.

After filling the bags, Elijah started thinking about what to give Hannah and Lily. Rings weren't suitable, bracelets weren't convenient for combat... so necklaces it was!

Elijah carefully selected two, feeling they suited the girls, and put them in boxes. Humming a tune, he returned to the underground supermarket.

Hannah and Lily were still busy. Elijah shouted from a distance.

"Ladies, I brought you some gifts!"

"What?"

Hannah and Lily stopped what they were doing. They saw Elijah proudly holding two items.

"This one is for you!"

Elijah handed a box to Hannah. Hannah looked closely and saw a six-pointed snowflake encrusted with diamonds, sparkling brilliantly under the light. It was clearly a necklace, with a silver chain stringing it together.

"For... for me?"

Hannah was both surprised and a bit pleased.

"Yes, do you like it?"

A rare smile appeared on Hannah's usually cold face. She nodded.

"I like it!"

"Let me put it on for you!"

Elijah took the necklace out of the box and moved behind her. Hannah hesitated, wanting to stop him, but in the end, she remained still, allowing Elijah to fasten the necklace around her neck.

Elijah was half a head taller than Hannah, and from his vantage point behind her, he had a clear view of the area below her heart-shaped neckline.

"Damn, so white," Elijah thought to himself.

Bella and Daisy also had fair skin, but compared to Hannah, theirs seemed just a tad less perfect. Hannah's complexion was like milk, pure and natural.

Especially at such close range, her skin looked like soft jade, glowing with a flawless radiance.

"Is... is it done?" Hannah asked.
