Apocalypse Rebirth: Beauties Surround Me-Chapter 74: we need to plan ahead
"Alright, let's pick a place to stay next!"
The group filed out and returned to the sightseeing car, heading back to the six villas they had just passed.
They looked at several in a row, each villa exuding its own unique charm, making it difficult to choose.
In the end, Elijah made the decision. He chose the one in the middle.
The reason he liked this mansion was simple; besides being close to the beach, it had an indoor swimming pool.
Positioned on the third floor, there was an infinity pool with three transparent glass walls, offering a clear view from inside out, as if floating in the air.
However, from the outside, nothing could be seen.
In the future, he could frolic in it with Bella and Daisy to his heart's content!
"Elijah, which room are you taking?"
With the villa decided, the group began selecting rooms. Daisy asked Elijah first, and all the female gazes turned towards him. Elijah rubbed his nose and chuckled.
"I don't need to choose first, you all can pick!"
"Then Bella, you go first!"
Daisy took Bella's hand, and they started exploring the several rooms.
The villa had two bedrooms on the ground floor, four on the second floor, and one on the third floor, all with private bathrooms, some even with walk-in closets.
The choices overwhelmed them. In the end, Bella chose a room on the east side of the second floor, while Charlotte chose one on the west side.
The two middle rooms on the second floor were left for Daisy and Elijah.
However, Elijah's thought was that he didn't need a room; sleeping with Bella or Daisy would be just fine.
While they were choosing rooms, Fiona stood beside Elijah, smirking.
"Hmm, are you going to struggle tonight, deciding which room to sleep in?"
"There are still four empty rooms here. If you four move in too, I won't have to struggle, one room per day! Won't repeat for a week!"
Elijah shrugged, and Fiona, defeated by his thick skin, stopped bothering him. Instead, she turned to the three women behind her.
"Now that they've chosen the villa, let's pick the one next door for ourselves, so we can watch out for each other!"
"Okay, Fiona!"
"We'll pack our bags and come over later!" check-out-MvLeMpYr
The three women agreed. With rooms chosen, Fiona led everyone back to the hotel entrance, while Elijah drove the escort car back to the villa.
Fiona, along with Hannah, Grace, and Katherine, packed their belongings to move next to Elijah's group.
Actually, they didn't have much to pack.
When the virus broke out, Fiona had brought Hannah to check out the future work environment and inspect the work.
They hadn't brought any luggage, which was why they had been wearing the hotel's reception clothes all along.
Their own clothes were dirty, and since there were plenty of spare reception clothes at the hotel, they had no choice but to wear them.
Grace and Katherine did have some spare clothes, but not many.
The four women quickly packed up and drove back to the villa area.
After putting away their luggage, they went to help Elijah's group.
By this time, Elijah's group had finished moving their luggage and were now transporting supplies and weapons.
"Why so many weapons? Are these all real?"
Fiona was very surprised.
"Yes, they are. After we finish moving, you can choose one you like as a weapon!"
"Then let us help you!"
The four women couldn't carry anything too heavy, so they helped move supplies like rice, noodles, oil, and water.
All the supplies were placed in the kitchen and an adjacent vacant room.
The weapons were temporarily placed in the basement, lined up neatly.
With so many hands, the work went quickly, and soon everything was unloaded.
"Ah, finally, we can rest!"
Daisy happily lay down on the soft sofa. freēnovelkiss.com
"I'll go make lunch, it's already noon!"
Bella said and walked briskly into the kitchen.
"I'll help you!"
Hannah, who had been silent all along, spoke up.
"Alright, thank you very much!"
"I'll help too, I'll help too!"
Katherine and Grace also hurried over.
"Ah, I really want to help, but I don't know how!"
Daisy looked somewhat frustrated as she glanced at the kitchen.
"Everyone has things they're good at; I'm not good at it either."
Fiona comforted her.
"That's true!"
Daisy immediately lay down flat.
"Since we have the time now, let's have a little meeting in advance. When Gabriel and Emily come in the afternoon, we'll have a formal one."
Elijah glanced at Fiona and Charlotte.
"Alright, what's the order?" Fiona said indifferently.
"Now that we have settled on where to stay, it's time to make long-term plans! Firstly, the issue of island security."
"The only road leading to the outside is that bridge, and there are hardly any zombies nearby. What security issue could there be?" Charlotte asked, puzzled.
"I'm not worried about zombies; my concern is mainly about people." Elijah recounted Isaac's situation. "As the saying goes, 'A gentleman's revenge is ten years in the making, while a villain's revenge is from morning till night.' So we have to be cautious of Isaac."
"That makes sense, but the key is how to guard against it?" Fiona joined the discussion.
"If we utilize my abilities, it's actually quite simple. I can still contract with nine zombies. If we spread these zombies around easily accessible areas like the bridgehead, the dock, and the beach, we can effectively guard and intimidate intruders to a certain extent. However, doing so would mean I'm essentially tethered to the island!
I've tested it before; if zombies are more than five kilometers away from me, I can't effectively control them, and they might attack people on the island."
"Isn't it nice to stay on the island? You have so many beautiful ladies accompanying you!" Fiona joked.
"Please don't test my weaknesses!" Elijah gave her a glare and smirked.
"Which brings us to the second point, gathering supplies! How long will the island's supplies last us?"
"If it's just the four of us, we have plenty of vegetables, and the staple foods are not heavily consumed. We should be able to last for about a month, but with you all..."
Fiona paused without finishing, the implication was clear.
"So, we need to plan ahead! There aren't many people daring to venture outside now, so we need to seize this opportunity to gather as many supplies as possible. Whether it's for personal use or for exchange with others. More supplies are better than none. Among us, only Daisy and I can go out for action while ensuring our own safety. The rest of you, not to belittle you, are too weak!"
Charlotte's eyes narrowed upon hearing this, but she didn't immediately speak. With outsiders present, she had to keep her composure and give this man some face.
"What are your thoughts then?" Fiona understood that since this man spoke like this, he must have a way to deal with it.
"The best way is to quickly enhance your strength! Rather than just guarding against thieves, it's better if each of you can take down the thieves, then there's nothing much to worry about."
"How do we quickly enhance our strength then?" Fiona's mind raced, recalling the discovery she made while moving the weapons earlier, feeling a bit hopeful.
"I'm sure you've noticed that Daisy's and my powers are extraordinary!" There's definitely some inside information here! Fiona nodded to herself.
