Apocalypse Rebirth: Beauties Surround Me-Chapter 47: Standoff

Gabriel had no words to offer.

Being able to work as security personnel beside his cousin was indeed not solely based on his own capabilities.

It was based on connections!

Otherwise, with his second-rate education from a mediocre school, he wouldn't even get into the company.

It took him quite a while to persuade his cousin to agree, to follow her and learn, to gain experience.

So how could he betray his own sister?

It was only Emily who somehow found out about his relationship with his cousin.

They were always very polite when they met.

Gabriel naturally understood Emily's intentions and didn't feel much resentment.

From childhood to adulthood, after knowing about this relationship, he had seen many people like her.

It's human nature to climb the social ladder, and he had done the same.

But what he couldn't foresee was that after doomsday, the previous power and wealth had turned to ashes.

Yet Emily still treated him the same way, even though she was imprisoned, she still secretly sent him food, drink, and information.

Otherwise, the little food and drink Isaac gave him every day could only keep him from starving, but he had no strength to move.

Unfortunately, Emily was just an ordinary woman, and after witnessing Isaac's abilities, she couldn't resist either.

Thinking of this, Gabriel continued, "Can your abilities deal with Isaac?"

"You don't need to worry about that!"

Elijah put away the spear he had aimed at him.

"Let's go, lead the way ahead!"

Gabriel relaxed all over, amazed at the weight of the spear.

"Don't know what to call you yet?"

"Elijah!"

"Daisy!"

"Elijah, bro, Daisy, sis!"

"Hmm?"

Daisy gave him a sideways glance.

"Oh, sorry, Daisy, sis! Let's go this way!"

With Gabriel leading the way, the three of them quickly left the service hall through the east gate.

Here, one could see the endless sea at a glance.

Not far away, there was a bridge spanning the sea, connecting to a small island in the distance.

"It must have cost a lot to build such a bridge, right?"

The three quickly reached the bridgehead.

The bridge wasn't very wide, just two lanes wide, and bigger vehicles would definitely have trouble passing each other.

Elijah saw some sightseeing trams in the parking lot, probably for tourists to transfer here.

"It's not that much, mainly because the water is deeper near the island, so it cost quite a bit. Near the land, it's exposed at low tide."

As they walked, the three chatted.

They managed to squeeze out quite a bit of useful information.

For example, why this guy was so sure they would help.

It turned out that as soon as he saw Daisy, he thought such a beautiful girl couldn't be a bad person.

Hadn't his mother taught him that the prettier a woman is, the more likely she is to deceive people?

Also, besides his sister Fiona, there were three other survivors on the island, one of whom Henry mentioned, a woman named Hannah.

Originally, there should have been more survivors, like Fiona's true personal bodyguard, a former female special forces soldier.

Unfortunately, she was bitten by someone who suddenly turned into a zombie the next day.

Otherwise, Gabriel wouldn't have come out seeking rescue.

There were originally quite a few staff on the island, including cleaners and gardeners responsible for keeping the island clean and tidy; electricians and logistics staff responsible for maintaining electricity and other equipment; chefs, assistants, and trainee waiters responsible for cooking and serving, and so on.

There were probably about twenty to thirty people.

After the virus outbreak, most of the population turned into zombies.

A small fraction of survivors also unfortunately got bitten during the chaos. After escaping the initial turmoil, the remaining few gathered in a hotel.

Finally, they sent out the only man left, Gabriel, to seek help.

Gabriel forcefully drove out in an SUV, attracting most of the zombies to the bridge with the loud noise.

Getting out was easy, but going back would be difficult; they needed to deal with the numerous zombies on the bridge.

The bridge was about 3 kilometers long, and as Elijah and his companions walked, they occasionally saw zombie bodies lying on both sides.

Many of them were once attractive women dressed in flight attendant uniforms, but they had all turned into grotesque zombies, their necks severed or their heads smashed, carelessly discarded on both sides.

Needless to say, Isaac and Henry were responsible for this.

From the distribution of the zombie bodies, it seemed like the two of them adopted tactics similar to Elijah and his group, slowly luring the zombies away and then dealing with them.

This was not accomplished in a single day.

In positions closer to the shore, many bodies had already begun to decay, while closer to Azure Isle, the bodies were fresher.

Elijah and his group temporarily ignored the corpse cores inside the zombie bodies.

The three of them walked quickly and soon reached the end of the bridge, arriving at Azure Isle.

Gabriel exerted all his strength to keep up; by the time they reached the island, he was panting heavily and drenched in sweat.

"Haven't seen anyone. Have they already gone into the hotel?" Gabriel looked worried.

"We can't delay. Let's go ahead; you rest here for a bit!"

Gabriel weakly took a few steps but couldn't go any further, nodding helplessly.

Seeing the dense trees and shady paths on the island, Elijah and Daisy exchanged a glance and disappeared into the shadows, leaving Gabriel wide-eyed.

"Huh? Where did they go?"

He rubbed his eyes in disbelief but still couldn't see them.

"Invisibility?"

Elijah didn't pay attention to Gabriel's astonishment at his ability.

He and Daisy quickly arrived at the hotel entrance and indeed found Isaac and the other three women inside, facing off.

Both sides held weapons; Isaac had a machete, while Henry had a crowbar.

Emily shivered beside them, also holding a crowbar.

She seemed completely powerless and could only bolster their numbers.

On the other side, the four women inside the hotel, also armed, held various kitchen knives, all stained red with blood. That was the color of blood.

"Fiona, now that it's the apocalypse outside, everyone has turned into zombies, and there are very few survivors. There are no more laws or morals. Whoever is stronger is the boss. So you better take my advice and don't force me to use force!"

Elijah and his group arrived late and didn't know what Isaac's suggestion was.

But before he could finish speaking, a cold voice interrupted him, clearly rejecting his proposal.

"Thank you, Mr. Isaac, for clearing the zombies outside, but I can't agree to your terms! As a token of gratitude, you can take some supplies from the island, and I hope Mr. Isaac will release Gabriel."

So, this was Fiona?

Elijah carefully observed the people inside.

Because of the sunlight reflection, he couldn't see their faces clearly, only their silhouettes.

Hmm... she had a good figure!
