Apocalypse Rebirth: Beauties Surround Me-Chapter 65: Bella Awakens
The 10th day of doomsday!
Bella and Elijah got up early to exercise.
Then Bella put on her favorite shorts, stepped into the kitchen with her clean and slender legs, and prepared breakfast.
Today she needed to prepare multiple servings in anticipation of her possible awakening.
Elijah watched her graceful figure.
He couldn't help but sigh.
She excels in both the hall and the kitchen!
What more could a husband ask for!
If only Daisy could be as obedient and cooperative!
Although Daisy has a solid foundation, she hasn't used dance moves much.
There will be an opportunity to try it out for sure!
Some people just can't stop nagging.
Just as Elijah was thinking about Daisy, he saw her running upstairs.
Elijah opened the door in advance, and Daisy came in, ignoring him and heading straight to the kitchen.
Instead, the little dog barked at him twice.
"Bella! I missed you so much!"
In the kitchen, Daisy hugged Bella tightly.
Bella put down what she was doing and hugged her back.
"Missed me, or missed the food I make?"
"Both!"
Bella smiled.
"Alright, don't disturb me while I'm cooking, it'll be ready soon!"
"Okay! I'll wait for you outside!"
Daisy happily walked out of the kitchen, and when she saw Elijah, she immediately pouted and hummed.
"What's wrong?"
Elijah was puzzled.
Could it be that Bella was too open yesterday, and she heard something?
"You must have done something to Abigail!"
Daisy huffed.
She slept with Abigail last night, corrected her for a long time, but she still didn't correct her.
"... "
Elijah wiped the sweat from his forehead, thinking it was something serious!
"Oh, by the way, do you know what happened to that scumbag across the street?"
Elijah shifted the focus.
Daisy looked curious.
Then he repeated what Bella said yesterday to her.
"He actually wants to bully Bella? Hmph, he deserves to die!"
"I didn't expect him to have the guts to come downstairs. Their building's elevator doesn't work, there must be many zombies in the hallway! And they even found the key to the unit door access control!"
"Maybe they got it from a corpse of a resident who left our building!"
Daisy's logic was clear.
"That's the only possibility!"
The two chatted for a while, and Bella finished cooking.
Daisy helped set the table.
The three of them didn't start eating immediately, but all stared at Bella.
Bella then took out scissors, imitating Elijah's actions from before, and cut the zombie grass in the police kettle.
"I'll eat..."
"Eat, eat!"
Daisy stared at her expectantly.
Elijah nodded too.
Seeing this, Bella stuffed the whole zombie grass into her mouth and slowly chewed.
Bitterness spread, furrowing Bella's brows.
Soon her mouth became icy cold again, making her feel a bit better.
But then, the bitterness intensified.
Bella felt like she was drinking a glass of bitter melon juice mixed with mint.
She forced herself to chew and swallow.
The chill went down her throat to her stomach, immediately turning into a ball of fire.
The flame was burning hot but didn't feel uncomfortable, quickly melding into her body, forming a warm current.
It began to roam through her body incessantly.
A hunger from the depths of her soul surged.
Bella immediately paid no heed and began to eat with gusto.
"How is it? How is it? Any changes?"
As soon as Bella paused for a moment, Daisy eagerly asked.
"What a strange sensation!"
Bella closed her eyes, feeling it deeply.
"There's an energy within me, something I feel I can harness. It's like an instinctual knowledge, born within me without any need for learning."
As Bella spoke, she picked up the fruit knife from the table and swiftly cut her finger, causing blood to spill out instantly.
"Oops! Bella, what are you doing?"
Daisy was taken aback, unable to react in time to Bella's swift action.
Elijah, however, understood and didn't intervene, as he was simulating Bella's abilities.
"Don't worry, watch!"
Elijah calmed Daisy down and pointed at Bella's wound, gently wiping it with a tissue.
As the blood was wiped away, the skin underneath appeared unharmed, as if there had never been a wound.
"Wow! Is this self-healing? Super regeneration?" Daisy exclaimed.
"You've watched too much anime!" Elijah jokingly tapped Daisy's head. "It's healing!"
Bella finally spoke up, suppressing her almost jubilant outburst.
She explained to Daisy, "I feel like I can heal injuries that aren't too severe. For more serious ones, I can only provide relief."
"Yay! That's amazing! With Bella around, we don't have to fear getting hurt anymore!"
Daisy was even happier than Bella, feeling this sense of being needed without being a burden. It felt really good to Bella.
Bella murmured to herself as she looked at the remnants of the zombie grass, feeling a strong intuition that it was on the brink of death.
Could she possibly save it?
Without further ado, she grabbed the watering can containing the zombie grass, placed her hands on it, and activated her ability.
Energy flowed from her body like water, nourishing the remaining stems of the zombie grass.
The severed sections of the zombie grass hardened with white sap, while beneath the soil, the roots continued to grow, entwining around the now significantly smaller corpse core.
The visible part of the corpse core shrank until it disappeared entirely.
At the junction of roots and stems, a new green sprout struggled to break through the soil.
Elijah and Daisy watched Bella's actions, sharing a glance filled with surprise and excitement.
They nervously watched Bella, seeing her face gradually pale.
Daisy was concerned and wanted to intervene but was afraid of disturbing her, potentially ruining everything.
Finally, Bella lowered her hands, utterly exhausted, and slumped into the chair. "Bella, are you okay?" Daisy asked, concerned.
"I'm fine," Bella smiled wearily, looking at the zombie grass. A vibrant green sprout waved in the wind. "It worked!"
But the one truly overjoyed was Elijah.
Confirming that the zombie grass was sprouting again, resurrected from the dead, he hugged Bella tightly. "Bella, you're amazing! I love you!" Elijah showered her face with kisses like raindrops.
"Oh, stop it, Daisy's still here," Bella protested, shy yet immensely satisfied. This profound sense of fulfillment filled a void in her heart, calming her restless soul.
In a slightly tipsy state, she caught a glimpse of Daisy. The little girl pouted, her expression a mix of happiness and annoyance, conflicting yet fascinating.
