Chapter 111: Messy Girl
On the way, he ran into Hannah and greeted her.
Hannah responded and then glanced at Fiona behind her.
Fiona smiled and took the goods from Hannah\'s hands.
"Let me help you carry those!"
Hannah didn\'t refuse, and the two went upstairs together.
Along the way, Fiona muttered a few words in her ear.
Hannah\'s face instantly turned red, feeling embarrassed, she said, "I...I don\'t need..." while discreetly glancing at Elijah.
Elijah, busy with the supplies, remained oblivious.
With the concerted effort of the four, soon three trucks were filled to the brim.
Lily, Hannah, and Fiona each drove a truck back to Azure Isle.
Elijah, with nothing else to do, sensed Daisy\'s location; she was still at Seabreeze Terrace, and he wondered how things were there.
While he couldn\'t help worrying, he trusted Daisy\'s abilities to handle things.
"It\'s better to focus on improving one\'s own strength than worrying about others!"
Elijah sighed, then recalled all the controlled zombies.
Except for Abigail, yesterday he scattered the other zombies around the mall for surveillance.
Today marked the third day of nurturing zombies, and it was highly likely some would awaken. Elijah wanted to observe them closely.
After the zombies returned to the warehouse entrance, Elijah noticed that the three shop assistant zombies he had started nurturing showed no obvious changes, so he fed each of them another corpse core.
The other four zombies each received two cores.
Following Abigail\'s awakening schedule, after five corpse cores, they should awaken.
Once he finished this, he began practicing body forging in the open space in front of the warehouse, waiting for Hannah and the others to return and continue moving supplies.
At the same time, in Seabreeze Terrace, about seven or eight kilometers north of the mall, Daisy, carrying a backpack of food she had found, returned to her villa.
Just as she opened the door, she was greeted by a girl of about sixteen or seventeen, who looked at her with joy.
"Daisy sis, you\'re back! Let me help you with that!"
The girl ran to Daisy and eagerly took her backpack.
"Haven\'t had breakfast yet? There\'s food and drinks inside, help yourself!"
Daisy said, patting her head.
"Okay!"
the girl crisply replied, then carefully opened the backpack and began eating the food inside, bite by bite.
She ate cleanly, without any waste, which made Daisy feel affectionate.
This girl was Olivia, also a resident of this neighborhood, sixteen years old and in her first year of high school.
Daisy had found her in the neighborhood last night. Well, not exactly found—Olivia had appeared voluntarily, wanting to follow her.
But last night, she didn\'t look like she does now, dressed in a pretty blouse and pleated miniskirt, with fair skin and a lovely appearance.
Last night, when Daisy saw her, she was dirty, emitting a foul smell, utterly messy, almost like a little beggar, with only her big bright eyes standing out.
She suddenly appeared in front of Daisy, pitifully asking Daisy to take her with her.
At that time, Daisy was startled. She was in stealth mode, and she didn\'t expect to be discovered by a little girl.
But she quickly realized that this girl must have awakened a perception superpower similar to mutated female zombies.
Seeing how pitiful she was and wanting to understand her abilities, Daisy temporarily took her in and brought her to her villa.
However, the girl was too messy, with a strong smell.
Daisy\'s water heater still had plenty of water, so she made her take a bath first.
At first, the girl was reluctant. Under Daisy\'s firm demand, she reluctantly went to the bathroom and quickly washed up.
Later, Daisy found out that she was afraid of wasting water.
During these days, the girl had suffered a lot for food and drink. Even with water available, she was unwilling to wash up and preferred to save it for drinking.
Then Daisy found her some of her own clothes to wear until she came out. Daisy was immediately amazed!
After a simple wash and dress-up, the original little beggar transformed into a well-groomed, innocent-looking pretty girl.
Daisy happily pulled her to sit on the sofa, chatting and eating together.
She gradually learned how Olivia had spent these past ten days.
Two days before the virus outbreak, Olivia, due to her menstrual period and a cold, took a sick leave to rest at home, with a nanny taking care of her daily life.
After the outbreak, she luckily survived the virus but unfortunately, her nanny turned into a zombie.
At that time, she was having dinner in the restaurant and happened to witness the process of her nanny turning into a zombie.
If it weren\'t for that, she might have been bitten or scratched by the transformed nanny without knowing. Olivia was terrified and panicked, running back to her bedroom.
She managed to spend two days there, relying on snacks and drinks in the bedroom.
During these two days, she heard screams of humans and the roars of zombies every day.
Through the window, she even saw living people being torn apart by zombies on the street.
After two days, as food and water were running out, she began to calm down and look for solutions.
Through observation during these two days, she discovered some habits of zombies.
Then, she cleverly used the window to create noise outside the villa, attracting the attention of the nanny zombie.
Seizing this opportunity, she left the bedroom and sneaked into the kitchen.
The kitchen was without electricity or gas, and there wasn\'t much edible food, but at least there was some drinking water and food.
She persisted like this for a few more days.
Unfortunately, there was no toilet in the kitchen.
Every time she needed to relieve herself, she could only do so in the trash can and then seal it with a garbage bag.
Combined with the smell of food decay, the kitchen quickly became unbearable.
Due to the lack of grooming for a long time, she became dirty and smelly all over.
Until one day, she suddenly developed a high fever again.
The high temperature made her dizzy and almost faint.
At that moment, Olivia thought she was going to die. But luckily, she survived again and gained a miraculous ability.
She could ignore obstacles and sense the zombies around her.
With this ability, she took advantage of the moment when the nanny zombie left and secretly slipped out of the kitchen, setting traps and luring the nanny zombie into a bedroom, and finally locking the door.
The house was safe, but there wasn\'t much food and water left; otherwise, she wouldn\'t have taken such a big risk to lock up the nanny zombie.
Fortunately, her ability was powerful enough that no zombie within a radius of 20 meters could escape her perception.
Relying on this miraculous ability, she began to hide and seek for food within the neighborhood.
Until last night, when she encountered Daisy.
In Olivia\'s mental perception, all zombies appeared as a mass of humanoid red light.
She could deeply feel the malice contained in that red, the desire for slaughter, the ultimate threat to her.
Apart from that, she had only seen one man emitting a yellow light.
When she passed by a villa, someone suddenly waved to her and lured her in with food.
The man looked kind and trustworthy at first glance, but Olivia sensed a subtle malice from the yellow light surrounding him.
So she ignored him and ran away.
Until she met Daisy. In Olivia\'s mental perception, Daisy appeared as a lush green color.
It was the first time she had seen such a color—pure, natural, and friendly, without any hint of malice.
But when Daisy started to kill zombies, her movements were so agile and decisive. With each strike, a zombie fell.
Olivia was immediately attracted and made up her mind to seek help.
