Chapter 13: Why don't you be my boyfriend?
"Tsk, are girls nowadays so casual at home?"
Bella was the same, wandering around in shorts all day, giving him an eyeful.
Elijah sighed twice, moved the sofa aside, and entered the room.
The predominantly pink bedroom suited a young girl's taste, but there was nothing else noteworthy.
"Speaking of which, this girl seems familiar..." Elijah carefully observed the zombie woman.
At this moment, her face was peaceful, devoid of the terrifying appearance with bulging veins, and she returned to her original appearance.
Except for her eyes, which remained zombie-like, she looked almost no different from a normal person at first glance.
"It seems like her name was Abigail?"
Abigail still looked quite pretty overall, with a good figure, and she lived upstairs or downstairs.
Although Elijah's memory was fuzzy after experiencing a year of the apocalypse, looking at the person in front of him, he recalled it.
"Something feels off!"
Elijah pondered, unable to figure it out, so he let Abigail walk to the living room while he began to search for useful items.
"This kitchen... cleaner than my face!"
Upon entering the kitchen, Elijah found that the stove hadn't been used.
He looked around two bedrooms, but apart from finding some potato chips in Abigail's bedroom, there was no food or drink anywhere!
"That's not right..."
Elijah's sense of unease grew stronger.
Suddenly, a thought struck him, and he knew what was wrong.
The zombie woman had blood at the corner of her mouth, which couldn't have been self-inflicted.
She was wearing little clothing, and there were no corresponding marks on her body... This indicated that there was probably another person in this room when she turned into a zombie...
The food and water in the room were too clean...
There were opened snack wrappers in the trash can...
Zombie Abigail had blood at the corner of her mouth...
Countless pieces of information were pieced together, and Elijah could only make one assumption.
What if there was another person in the room!
And this person was bitten by zombie Abigail, hence the blood at Abigail's mouth.
This person was lucky, just like him, didn't turn into a zombie or die.
Instead, they were alive and well, having eaten all the snacks in the room and drank all the water.
If this person hadn't gone out due to shortages of supplies...
He wouldn't have seen it!
Then he must have awakened some kind of superpower like him?
Invisibility? Disguise? Phasing through walls?
No wonder I always feel like someone is watching me...
Elijah quickly figured it out, continuing to pretend to search for things without a sound, his body fully focused on sensing every bit of anomaly around him.
This direction...
Although not a clairvoyant, his enhanced physique made him more alert, quickly noticing the unusual direction.
Elijah didn't turn directly, but changed his angle, glancing at it with his peripheral vision.
He didn't miss any trace, quickly noticing a blurry figure in the shadow of the corner.
This figure completely blended into the shadow, only slightly dissonant at the edge contours.
If it was just a casual glance, it wouldn't be noticed at all.
Even if it were a bit darker, Elijah would have overlooked it.
"Interesting ability..."
Elijah gripped his hiking stick tightly and thrust it towards the figure.
"Ah! Don't..."
A female voice exclaimed, and the previously empty corner of the wall immediately revealed a stunning girl.
The girl was probably around 1.7 meters tall, with a round face, chubby cheeks like a child, with a bit of cuteness, but at the same time, her facial contours were quite distinct, blending softness with modern beauty.
She wore a pink camisole similar to the one worn by the female zombie Abigail, revealing a little cleavage, particularly enticing.
Below, she wore a pair of white hot pants, showing off her snow-white long legs, looking no less attractive than Bella.
She had on a simple pair of flat sandals, her chubby little feet seeming to curl up nervously due to tension.
At this moment, the girl frowned, her watery eyes showing a bit of timidity, nervously looking at Elijah.
"Daisy?"
Seeing her appearance, Elijah immediately remembered the name.
After all, as neighbors living on different floors, who wouldn't notice two girls with such sweet faces and figures?
Elijah once thought about pursuing her, but just as they had met not long ago, the zombie outbreak occurred.
"Elijah..."
Daisy looked pitifully at Elijah, but her next words almost made him burst into laughter.
"Do you have any food..."
Elijah put away his hiking stick, and said unkindly, "You recognized me a long time ago, why didn't you say hello, now suddenly you want food..."
"I didn't know it was you at first, but then I saw you dealing with Abigail, I forgot..."
Daisy pouted, then immediately became excited again.
"Elijah, have you awakened abilities too? How did you make Abigail obedient?"
"You'll know if you lick it!"
Elijah extended his finger, the wound not yet healed, and squeezed out a drop of blood.
Without hesitation, Daisy really stretched out her tongue curiously and licked it.
This girl...
Elijah shook his head, she really had guts!
Hmm, big chest!
Elijah couldn't help but touch his nose as he watched her body's vigorous movements.
"It's nothing, really," Daisy wrinkled her nose, not fond of the taste of blood.
"It doesn't have much effect on people, but it can make zombies obedient!"
Elijah observed the invisible spiritual connection forming between them and casually took out a bottle of water and a bag of biscuits from his backpack.
"I didn't bring anything else out, so you'll have to make do with this for now. By the way, care to explain what's going on?"
Taking the water and biscuits, Daisy didn't care about her image as she gobbled them down.
While eating, she explained, "On the night the outbreak happened, Abigail was scared, so I slept with her."
"Then, in the middle of the night, Abigail suddenly had a high fever, and then she bit me. I got scared, so I ran out and locked her in the room."
"Actually, I knew Abigail had turned into a zombie. After she bit me, my head started spinning, my body felt hot."
"I thought I was done for, going to turn into a zombie like Abigail. But then I thought, well, at least I could go eat others, better than being eaten."
Elijah was almost dumbfounded by her peculiar thoughts. Was this what they called "big-chested and brainless"?
Encountering such things and not being afraid at all.
"When I woke up again, I found out I was fine, but my arm was indeed bitten. Look, there's still a mark!"
Daisy extended her pale arm, showing clear bite marks on the smooth skin, though they had scabbed over.
"Then I felt very hungry and started looking for something to eat in the house!"
Daisy puffed her cheeks, somewhat annoyed.
"Normally, we don't cook much at home, so besides some snacks, there wasn't much to eat. And there's not much water either. I haven't eaten for a day, I'm starving!"
The self-reliance of modern girls...
Elijah couldn't help but sigh. Suddenly, he felt that girls like Bella, who were capable in both social situations and the kitchen, were really good!
"What ability did you just use? Why couldn't I see you?" Daisy's excitement returned at the mention of it!
"I also watch anime, dramas, and read novels, so I thought, in the face of danger, maybe I would gain magical powers. So I tried it out myself when I had nothing else to do, and I really sensed a mysterious energy within me."
"It allows me to blend into the shadows, especially at night. It's like being invisible. Even Abigail couldn't find me!"
Daisy proudly demonstrated, walking to the corner where they were just standing, fading away in front of Elijah's eyes, blending into the shadows.
If it weren't daytime now, with weaker shadows, her blurry silhouette would be barely visible, making it difficult to spot her.
Elijah had just ignored it now. What if it were at night?
It would be a killer technique!
If he had this ability, many things would be easier to do, and he wouldn't be stuck here...
But having this ability under his control, nurturing it properly, would be quite sharp!
Suddenly, Elijah felt his own abilities were quite strong again, capable of controlling other strong individuals...
But how to convince Daisy?
Elijah thought of many things in an instant, just as he was about to invite Daisy to join him, she suddenly said something.
"Elijah, why don't you be my boyfriend?"
Huh?
Elijah was instantly dumbfounded!
