Apocalypse Rebirth: Beauties Surround Me

Chapter 4: This beam of light was Elijah's spiritual line

The secret of Elijah's rebirth was something he naturally wouldn't share with anyone, but he also knew that his actions were somewhat unusual.

"You're wondering how I knew your husband would turn into a zombie, right? And why I was prepared in advance!"

"Yes... yes!"

"To be honest, I was just being cautious. When I saw your husband, I thought of the woman being chased downstairs."

Bella was led by Elijah's words, thinking of the woman's tragic situation, and her face turned a few shades paler.

"According to the time your husband entered, he should have been before the woman. This made me suspect, did he also get chased by zombies? Maybe even got scratched or bitten?"

"So when I closed the door, I immediately changed my clothes..."

Following Elijah's train of thought, Bella quickly understood, amazed at his meticulous thinking.

"Yes, so when I saw your husband about to attack you, I acted without hesitation. You won't blame me for killing your husband, will you?"

"No... no, he had already turned into a monster, and I haven't thanked you for saving me!"

Bella forced a smile.

"But why did you use a hammer to hit Alexander afterward..."

She struggled to continue. Remembering that scene, she couldn't help but shiver.

"I was afraid he wasn't dead enough, so I just made sure!"

Elijah gave a reason, not wanting to reveal anything about the corpse core.

But you're too skilled! Bella couldn't help but curse inwardly.

"So what should we do next?"

Bella was a bit nervous.

"I don't know if you've noticed, but the power is out now!"

Elijah didn't answer directly but brought up another matter.

"Just found out when I was showering, the bathroom light wasn't on, and the hairdryer didn't work!"

"With the current danger outside, I seriously doubt the power will come back on. If it's short-term, it's fine, but if it's long-term, water and gas will also stop. So, we should clean out the refrigerator, check our food supplies, stock up on water, ensure survival. As for the future... we'll have to take it one step at a time!"

Seeing Elijah calm and methodical, Bella's heart settled a bit.

"So... should I go clean out the fridge now?"

"Sure, you can start with mine. It's just the two of us here, and we don't need to separate things between us. We'll get through this together!"

"Okay!"

With that, the two of them began to act separately.

Elijah quickly cleaned the floor and filled all the containers in the house with water.

Bella collected the food from both refrigerators and sorted it out, distinguishing between items with longer shelf lives and those that needed to be eaten soon.

"Here, have a drink. It's still cold, perfect for this hot weather!"

After a busy moment, both of them were sweating, and Elijah handed Bella a bottle of Coke from the fridge. Although it had melted, it was still very cold.

"Thank you!"

Bella took it, took a small sip, feeling the refreshing coldness, and then continued drinking.

"You have a lot of vegetables at home, unlike me, all I have is instant noodles!"

Elijah looked at the neatly categorized food and praised Bella!

Most of the longer-lasting items were Elijah's food, including instant noodles, canned goods, sausages, pickled vegetables, and other ready-to-eat or pre-made products. He rarely cooked at home and usually ate out or ordered takeout. Occasionally, he would stock up on these foods at home.

Bella's house was more normal, with rice, flour, oil, potatoes, tomatoes, celery, eggs, meat, and other staples.

"But now it's become a problem. Without electricity, it's difficult to store food. If even the gas is cut off, these foods..."

Bella frowned slightly.

"When there's a will, there's a way. It's already noon; you should cook first and eat what's not easily preserved!"

Elijah had a smile on his face, in his vision, a beam of light connected him and Bella, a connection only he could see.

This represented that the seed of consciousness had successfully been planted within Bella's body.

This beam of light was Elijah's spiritual line.

If the other party was a zombie, he could control the zombie with it.

If the other party was a human, he could also use it to send suggestive commands, gradually achieving the effect of subconscious hypnosis over time.

Currently, Elijah's suggestion was to make Bella feel that he was a trustworthy person!

Subconscious hypnosis needed to be gradual; suggestions like falling in love with me directly wouldn't work and would make the other party suspicious.

In his past life, Elijah also underwent long tests to find the right balance and started building a team of explorers loyal to him, but unfortunately...

Elijah's expression darkened slightly, but he quickly regained his composure.

Putting the blood containing the seed of consciousness into cola really worked like a charm!

With no more worries, it was time to start exercising!

Meanwhile, Bella, with her fair long legs, walked into the kitchen to start cooking.

While Bella was cooking, Elijah stood in the empty space of the living room and began practicing martial arts.

The set of punches he practiced was called the Golden Elephant Body Forging Technique.

Although the name sounded low, like a martial art from a second-rate martial arts novel, the effect was indeed remarkable.

He spent a considerable amount of money learning it in his past life.

It's said that it was created by an awakened esper who possessed perception-based superpowers, collecting classic martial arts from several masters, combining them with modern scientific training methods, sensing the dynamics of his own muscles and bones, experimenting and summarizing, refining it to perfection.

It was an extremely powerful body forging technique that could push the body of an awakened individual to its limit in the shortest amount of time.

Half of Elijah's physique in his past life was accumulated through time, and the other half was improved by this set of martial arts.

In the living room, Elijah adjusted his breath first, then slowly assumed his stance, practicing each move methodically.

He didn't execute each move quickly; each action was accompanied by corresponding breathing.

If observed closely, it would be noticed that between motion and stillness, the muscles, tendons, and bones in different parts of his body would tighten, contract, and relax with each movement and breath.

At the same time, a warm stream flowed through Elijah's body with his movements, giving him a tingling sensation, temporarily forgetting his fatigue!

After completing the set of punches, Elijah's body was slightly sweaty, feeling a bit tired, and his hunger noticeably increased.

Just then, Bella finished cooking and called him to eat.

Elijah looked at the table, where there were two dishes: celery stir-fried with meat, stir-fried seasonal vegetables, and steamed rice as the main dish.

They sat down, Elijah tasted the food, surprisingly delicious, and he couldn't help but praise her.

Even just cooking, she proved to be worth keeping around!

Bella smiled slightly and curiously asked, "Were you exercising just now?"
