Chapter 95: what do men know about women
Elijah picked up two bone spurs controlled by mental zombies.
The two bone spurs were the same size, about the thickness of a pencil, and appeared white on the outside.
As Elijah brought them closer, he found their surface extremely smooth, as if glazed, and glistening like jade. Moreover, they were hollow in the middle.
Although they looked fragile, their actual hardness was high. Even when struck with his short hammer with full force, they showed no signs of damage.
The slanted cuts on both ends looked very sharp.
He tried inserting the bone spurs into the body of the mental zombie, and they easily pierced through the flesh.
It seemed they might have entered a blood vessel, as a stream of black blood flowed out through the hollow seam of the bone spur.
"Not bad, not bad!" Elijah was very satisfied. He withdrew the bone spurs, finding no trace of blood on them, still as white as jade. He packed them away in his backpack.
"Let's go back!"
After securing the spoils, Elijah called Daisy, and the two of them entered stealth mode again, heading downstairs.
This time, there were no more accidents, and they smoothly returned to the entrance of the mall warehouse.
Elijah and Daisy suddenly appeared in front of Lily, startling her, but her face quickly filled with joy.
"You're back! Daisy, your abilities are amazing!"
"It's a pity that it only works best at night!"Daisy pouted.
The scene in the office building made her eager to return to the residential area to find her parents. Even if they had turned into zombies, it was better than being completely consumed.
I'll discuss it with Elijah when we get back!
Daisy made up her mind.
The two got into the car, with Elijah taking the driver's seat this time. It was late at night, and he didn't dare let Daisy drive recklessly!
"Can Lily drive?" Elijah asked as he started the armored vehicle.
"I have a driving license, but I'm not very skilled."
"That's okay, she can practice more! Tomorrow when we transport supplies, we'll use two cars so we can move faster!"
"Okay!"
Because they had cleared the roads during the day, visibility was limited at night, but they still drove smoothly.
Only one or two zombies who came out of nowhere blocked the road, and he drove past them.
In about ten minutes, they arrived back at the riverside service area.
Gabriel saw the lights from afar and was already waiting at the gate.
Seeing the familiar armored vehicle, he immediately opened the gate!
"We brought back some food and clothes today. Tomorrow you can get them from your sister Fiona!" Elijah said to Gabriel through the glass.
"Alright!" Gabriel happily agreed.
Elijah continued driving onto the island.
Just as they crossed the bridge, they noticed a group of people standing under the streetlights in front of the hotel.
It was Fiona Bella and the others who had come to greet them after seeing the lights from afar.
"Wow, everyone's here!" Daisy exclaimed happily as she got out of the car and saw the group of women.
"Oh, let me introduce you all. This is our new companion, Lily!"
"Hello, everyone!"
Lily followed Daisy out of the car, greeting everyone with a slight nervousness.
Several women, especially Bella, Charlotte and Fiona, looked at Lily as she jumped out of the car, as if the earth was shaking, and her slightly childish little face.
They all unconsciously turned their gaze towards Elijah.
Elijah was puzzled. Why were they all looking at him?
"This is Bella, this is Charlotte, this is Fiona..."
Daisy pulled Lily along and introduced each of them one by one.
The more Lily looked, the more astonished she became.
Although these women varied in height, each had a well-proportioned figure and a face that was either delicate, glamorous, or cold... All of them were stunning beauties.
And with Daisy, and perhaps herself...
Lily understood her own characteristics well. Her childish face and large bust often caused her trouble.
These distinctive women were all gathered on this island.
She discreetly glanced at Elijah, and a certain guess in her mind became clearer.
"Can I call you Lily?" After Daisy finished the introductions, Fiona took the lead in addressing Lily.
"S...sure!"
"Welcome to join us. Don't be too nervous. From now on, we're all family here. Just treat this place as your own home!" Fiona's gentle smile was comforting.
Lily felt much more at ease.
Fiona briefly introduced the island to Lily and cleverly asked some questions, quickly getting a grasp of Lily's background.
Elijah watched on, shaking his head. He chatted with Bella and the others, recounting their experiences in the mall.
When Fiona came back after handing Lily over to the others, Elijah picked up his backpack.
"About your father..."
"We'll talk about it later!" Fiona covered Elijah's mouth with her finger. "Let's unload the things first, and then we can find a quiet place to talk..."
"Okay!" Elijah admired Fiona's rationality. He also knew she probably already had a clear idea of the answer.
"We brought back some food today, as well as some clothes and swimsuits for you all..." Elijah opened the car door and briefly explained.
"The food can be taken to the warehouse behind the hotel, and as for the clothes... I think we should find a room to display them separately, and let the ladies pick for themselves!"
"Sounds good!"
"There's a large conference room on the first floor of the hotel, let's use that! We should bring back some clothes hangers from the mall when we finish clearing it up!"
"They should have them in the mall. We can consider bringing some back after we're done cleaning up!"
After a few more exchanges, they finalized the plan and arranged for everyone to start moving.
Hannah and Daisy took charge of the clothes. Being Awakened, each of them carried two bags effortlessly.
Elijah drove the rest of the food to the warehouse behind the hotel. It was a dedicated place for storing supplies, originally prepared for the future tourism on the island, catering to both guests and staff.
Although not very large, it was well-equipped with shelves for items and large refrigerators and freezers.
Fiona was in charge of managing the supplies. Under her command, everyone quickly unloaded the items from the car.
Seeing so much food being stocked, everyone felt more reassured.
After locking the warehouse door, they returned to the hotel.
Daisy and Hannah had already unpacked the clothes in the large conference room on the first floor, neatly arranging them on the table.
While Daisy was sorting, she muttered to herself, "Hmph, what do men know about women, big pervert!"
At this moment, she held up a piece of bikini bottoms, barely covering the important parts, and tossed it aside in disdain before picking up another one.
Hannah smiled at her antics. She was sorting out T-shirts and shirts, which were more normal.
At this time, everyone entered the room. Grace and Katherine were excited to see so many clothes.
"Finally... some new clothes to wear!" They were wearing Charlotte's sportswear, but being slightly shorter than Charlotte, they had to modify the pants.
Despite this, they still looked too big, though it didn't affect their movement, it felt somewhat uncomfortable.
Fiona was also happy. She picked out two pieces of swimwear and brought them to Elijah.
"Do you think I'll look good in this outfit?"
Elijah raised an eyebrow.
The two pieces Fiona picked out were a bikini set, with the top barely covering her palms, and the bottom just as minimal.
