Apocalypse Rebirth: Beauties Surround Me-Chapter 89: Astonishing Power

"It looked pretty to me, so I kept it. Later, they asked me to move the bodies, so I split open all the heads of the corpses and searched, but I only found six!"

"Lily, you're amazing!"

"Where... where am I amazing! I only dare to deal with zombies! I don't even dare to lay a hand on people!"

Lily felt a little embarrassed. At the same time, she felt a bit frustrated.

If only she could be as decisive as them.

Then she wouldn't have to compromise so much these days.

In the end, feeling forced and resigned, she kicked Patrick.

"You're already great! Many men don't even dare to face zombies! Like Oliver, he just hides behind, afraid of tough situations!" Elijah praised generously.

"It's not as great as you guys say! When the virus broke out, a colleague of mine was bitten by a zombie right in front of me. In fear, I grabbed something nearby and killed the zombie! After that, I wasn't afraid of zombies anymore!"

"Everyone goes through such transformations gradually! If anyone bullies you in the future, don't hesitate to fight back!"

"Yeah yeah," Lily nodded.

The three soon cracked open all the zombies' skulls and harvested 4 corpse cores. Elijah collected them all.

So far, he had collected 40 corpse cores, some of which were used up to cultivate zombie grass and Crystal Grass.

Feeding Abigail and the mutated female zombies also consumed some.

Currently, he had a total of 23 corpse cores, with 5 in Daisy's hands as Abigail's food, 4 in Bella's hands for taking care of the "spirit plants," and the remaining 14 in his hands.

If he added Lily's 6, he would have 20 corpse cores.

"Next, clearing the mall, it seems we can capture some zombies to cultivate them? If they all mutate, I wonder what interesting abilities they might awaken?"

Elijah pondered to himself.

But thinking about awakened abilities, wasn't there someone right in front of him?

Elijah looked at Lily and found her sneakily glancing at him too!

When their eyes met, Lily immediately felt embarrassed and looked away.

"What's wrong?" Sensing Elijah's confusion, Lily gathered courage to face him.

"...Elijah, is your hand okay?"

Elijah suddenly realized.

So, that's what she had been worrying about all along!

He extended the hand that was injured, with a wound caused by a nail in the center of the palm.

Not large, but quite deep.

Pierced through! Thanks to Elijah's strong physique, the wound had already stopped bleeding and scabbed over.

But because of fighting the zombie just now, it had cracked open again.

"Doesn't it hurt?" Lily cautiously held his hand, carefully examining the wound.

"I'll go find some medicine to bandage it up for you!"

"No need!" This minor wound was actually no big deal.

If Bella were here, it would heal in the blink of an eye.

Even relying on his own physique, it would be almost fully recovered by tomorrow.

However, seeing Lily's worried expression, Elijah felt like teasing her a bit.

"I heard that saliva can disinfect and sterilize. If you lick it, you'll be fine!"

"Huh? I think I've heard that before too? Is it true?"

Lily looked up at him, her clear eyes revealing a hint of foolishness.

Elijah couldn't help but chuckle.

"It's true!"

"Then... should I try it?"

"He's teasing you! Lily, you actually believe him?" Daisy couldn't bear it anymore.

"Huh?"

"Saliva sterilization does have some scientific basis!"

Elijah emphasized, then turned to reassure Lily.

"This minor wound really isn't a big deal, you don't need to worry! By the way, Lily, have you awakened any abilities?"

"Awakened abilities?"

Lily tilted her slightly childish face in confusion.

"It means after the virus outbreak, is there anything about you that's different from before?"

At Elijah's words, Lily lowered her head and glanced at her chest. She realized she couldn't see her feet, and she was afraid of stepping on things while walking.

Now, she had grown significantly larger, and her bras didn't fit anymore.

Did that count? Maybe... not really?

However, although she had grown a lot, she didn't feel as burdened as before, and her strength had increased a lot.

"My... strength has become very strong?"

She hesitated slightly.

"How strong?"

"I haven't compared, but I just feel like I have endless strength, and I can move anything!"

Elijah raised an eyebrow, becoming interested.

"Can you move anything? How about a car?"

"I haven't tried, but I can give it a shot!"

"Alright, I was planning to continue clearing out the zombies at the entrance. It'll be easier for us to come and go later. Just wait a moment!"

After saying this, Elijah returned to the warehouse entrance and opened the door.

There were still a few scattered zombies outside, but they were relatively far away, blocked by cars, and hadn't noticed the commotion at the entrance just now.

Elijah strode out, and the zombies immediately roared and rushed towards him. freeweɓnovel.cøm

With a flick of his spear, the spear stabbed like a dragon, piercing through several zombies' heads, and they fell to the ground.

Seeing that there were no more zombies outside, Daisy and Lily also walked out, and Elijah pointed to the armored truck.

"Can you lift it?"

"I think I can!"

Confidently, Lily stepped forward, but suddenly exclaimed.

"There's still a zombie inside!"

"Don't be afraid, that's a zombie I control. This is my awakened ability. I'll explain it to you later. Try to see if you can move it."

With a look of surprise, Lily obediently walked to the rear of the truck, grabbed the lower edge of the carriage with both hands, and exerted force.

The car gently rocked but wasn't lifted.

"Let me try again!"

After saying this, Lily closed her eyes, took a deep breath, and a warm stream flowed through her limbs, making her feel warm all over, as if she had endless strength. Then she exerted force again.

"Creak!"

With the metal groaning, the carriage of the armored truck began to rise.

"It... it really lifted?!"

Daisy looked astonished!

"Do you remember the mutated zombie we encountered at the entrance of your school?"

Elijah wasn't very surprised; he had already had some guesses.

After all, if Lily were just a first-level awakened, without practicing body forging techniques, and considering the short time since the virus outbreak, her strength couldn't be as exaggerated as she usually showed.

Splitting a human skull in half with one axe...

"That insanely strong zombie? So, Lily is a strength awakened?"

"Exactly!"

Elijah nodded. The armored truck weighed nearly 8000 pounds, and although lifting the back didn't require that much strength, one could imagine the monstrous strength Lily displayed when she exerted herself fully.

Elijah himself could only lift a small car, and the weight of the armored truck was three times that of an average car!

Seeing Lily still exerting force, her face flushing red, and the rear wheels of the truck almost leaving the ground, Elijah immediately spoke up.

"Lily, that's enough!"

Only then did Lily slowly put the truck down.

But just as the vehicle descended.

"Snap!"

Something broke.

Elijah and Daisy on the side of the vehicle saw Lily's chest seemingly breaking free from restraint, bouncing suddenly, and increasing in size.

Even... larger!
