Apocalypse Rebirth: Beauties Surround Me

As she was lost in thought, Elijah suddenly spoke up.

"Which room is yours?" he asked.

Olivia snapped back to reality, realizing they had somehow made their way back to her mansion.

"Um... it's on the first floor, this way!" Olivia stuttered, her intuition growing stronger.

What if Elijah really intends to do something to me? What should I do? Should I refuse or...

And I'm all sweaty now; at the very least, I should take a shower first...

Elijah led Olivia into her room, which had a layout similar to Lily's. However, what surprised Elijah were the cute lady's panties laid out in a row on the balcony.

Uh... does Olivia change her panties this frequently? She must change several times a day with this many, right?

But then he thought that Olivia had been going out to exercise and kill zombies every day for the past few days, so it made sense for her to change frequently. And maybe she doesn't wash them every day but accumulates them over time?

Shaking his head, Elijah stopped dwelling on these thoughts and turned to look at Olivia.

At this moment, Olivia's face was slightly flushed, her eyes evasive, and she nervously twisted her clothes.

Scratching his head, Elijah felt Olivia's gaze on him was a bit strange. But he didn't think much about it and instead asked according to the rehearsed lines:

"Olivia, is your mother named Kylie? The Kylie from YLK Cosmetics!"

"Yes... yes! Does Elijah know my mom?" Olivia was surprised to hear her mother's name from Elijah.

"No, I don't know her. I just happen to know someone from your mom's company," Elijah shook his head and continued, "Do you know a person named Matthew?"

"Fat Matthew? I know him! Does Elijah know him?" Olivia gradually realized that Elijah had no ulterior motives she had been imagining, and her nerves began to settle.

"Well, I know of him. He probably doesn't know me! What do you know about this Matthew?" Elijah asked.

"I don't know much about him, because I don't really like him. Every time I see him, he's always leering at my mom with his squinty eyes! I just know Matthew is one of the area managers at my mom's company. My mom said Matthew is really good at expanding markets! But he's just too greedy. Mom is planning to fire him soon!" Olivia wrinkled her brow in thought.

"I see..." Elijah's opinion of Kylie's current situation worsened.

He hesitated whether to tell Olivia about her mother's situation.

Olivia wasn't stupid and gradually pieced it together.

"Elijah, are you asking about these things because you know something about my mom? How is she now?" Olivia asked.

"Well, I did get some information. Your mom might be involved with Matthew, but after hearing your opinion of him and what I know about his character, I feel your mom might be in a tough spot," Elijah replied.

Olivia's face turned pale at his words, but she quickly regained her composure.

"As long as my mom is alive, that's what matters!"

Then, after a moment's hesitation, she continued, "Elijah, could you help me check on my mom? And if possible, bring her back... I know this request is a bit unreasonable, but if you help me, I'll do anything you ask!"

Olivia looked at Elijah nervously, but she didn't expect Elijah to hesitate at all. He reached out and gently touched her head.

"What are you saying? I already consider you and your mom as my family. Even if you didn't ask, I would do everything in my power to bring your mom back!" Elijah reassured her.

"Thank you, Elijah!" Olivia exclaimed with a mix of joy and excitement. Suddenly, she threw herself into Elijah's arms, hugging him tightly.

Elijah patted her back gently and continued, "But you know, your mom's company is in West City District, quite far from here, and the journey is extremely dangerous. So I can't leave immediately; I need to prepare. Especially since your strength isn't enough yet, I hope that by the time I leave, you'll be able to protect yourselves."

"Yeah, I understand, Elijah," Olivia said bashfully as she pulled away from Elijah's embrace.

She had been so caught up in her own thoughts that she had forgotten it was the apocalypse.

To reach West City District from here, they would have to cross through the densely populated downtown area where zombies were likely to be more numerous and the danger much higher.

"Although there's news that your mom might be with Matthew, anything could happen in these times, so you should prepare yourself mentally. In case your mom..." Elijah started cautiously.

"I know, Elijah. Fate is fate," Olivia interrupted firmly.

"Yeah! Spend these days improving your strength. I'll be able to go out with peace of mind once you're strong enough," Elijah affirmed.

"Okay, Elijah."

"That's settled then. I'll head back now. Freshen up, and come over for dinner later!" Elijah said, giving her head another gentle pat before turning to leave.

"Elijah!" Just as he reached the door, Olivia called out suddenly.

"What is it?" Elijah turned back, asking.

"It's... nothing. Thank you," Olivia replied. In that brief moment, she had a sudden impulse, but she swallowed her words.

Elijah chuckled and shook his head, then walked out.

Olivia stood in the room, feeling a bit dazed. Her mind wandered between thoughts of her mother, Elijah, and the sisters on the island. Her emotions were in turmoil.

After a while, she regained her composure and slowly walked into the bathroom.

Meanwhile, as Elijah exited Olivia's room, he saw Jasmine pushing open the mansion door and walking in.

"It seems you really had something important to talk to Olivia about!" Jasmine wore a charming smile on her face, swaying her delicate figure as she approached Elijah.

"Of course, why else would I..." Elijah realized her intention and snorted.

"I'm not that kind of beast!"

"Is that so? But last night, you were like an animal with me..." Jasmine teased with a hint of resentment.

"That's because you were swaying around holding onto trees!" Elijah retorted unapologetically, pulling Jasmine into his embrace without hesitation, feeling her voluptuous body against him.

"And besides, you seemed to enjoy it, didn't you?" he added.

"Well... tonight..." Jasmine whispered near Elijah's ear, "how about I wear a special outfit?"

"What kind of special outfit?" Elijah asked.

"I found a Japanese-style schoolgirl pleated skirt set!"

"You little fox!" Elijah teased, giving her a playful squeeze.

"Wait for my signal tonight!" Jasmine pouted cutely.

"Fine~" Jasmine's eyes seemed to be filled with watery charm as she glanced at him.

"Well... see you tonight!" With a sway of her curvaceous hips, Jasmine returned to her room, leaving Elijah to savor the feeling in his hands before leaving the mansion.

On the way, Elijah started seriously considering his plans to go out.

His promise to Olivia wasn't just talk.

He had already planned to seek revenge on Matthew and rescue Kylie, with helping Olivia as an added task.

Since he had decided to proceed with vengeance, he needed to prepare adequately. He thought carefully.

First, he needed someone of at least Third Stage strength to stay on the island, and ideally, everyone should awaken.

After Emily's awakening tomorrow, only Xavier, Jasmine, Vincent, and Zoey remained unawakened.

He could temporarily set aside the last two and focus on upgrading the others to Second Stage using more spirit plants.

Vincent and Zoey could awaken after he left, under Fiona's arrangements.

Regarding his subordinates like Quentin, he must ensure control over them and Ivy through contracts before leaving, along with Zachary and potentially one or two others who might awaken later.

This way, he would have a strong grip on Quentin's team.
