Though he felt pleased inside, he didn't dare to move a muscle under the watchful eyes of others.
"Can you two behave a bit more normally..." he reproached.
But inside, he sighed.
It would have been much better to act cute in private!
"Grace, Katherine, tone it down a bit!" Fiona couldn't bear it anymore.
"I promise you, I will help you awaken your abilities!" Elijah assured them.
"Thank you, Elijah!"
The two girls, assured, immediately released her and ran to Fiona, pestering her to demonstrate her ability.
"Ugh, you call him handsome Elijah when there's something, and just Elijah when there isn't. Women!"
"Aren't you enjoying this?" Charlotte said lightly.
"Um... haha, well, Fiona, I happen to have a gift for you!" Elijah chuckled, avoiding Charlotte's comment. From his backpack, he pulled out two bone spurs.
"See if you can manipulate these!" Fiona's eyes lit up at the sight of the bone spurs.
Her telekinesis reached out and effortlessly picked them up, holding them as if they were extensions of her own hands.
"These bone spurs are hard and sharp, perfect for your telekinetic weaponry!"
"Let me try!" Fiona directed the two bone spurs, no longer flying aimlessly, but piercing into the nearby wooden table.
"Thud! Thud!" Two sounds as the bone spurs firmly embedded themselves into the table.
"Not bad, not bad! How heavy of objects can your telekinesis control?"
Although Elijah could mimic abilities, it was better to ask on the spot, giving others a rough idea as well.
"About 10 pounds!" Fiona's telekinesis interacted with various objects in the room, trying to move them, giving a rough estimate.
The weight was approximately 10 pounds, and the distance was within 5 meters. The farther away you are, the more her Telekinesis weakens, and it can no longer be of any use.
"That telekinetic zombie was able to levitate himself, weighing at least 40 pounds. But he was second-tier, you're first-tier. Even halved, that's still 20 pounds. It seems your ability has a lot of room for growth!"
"Yeah, I'll practice hard!" Fiona smiled faintly, then whispered something to him.
"And, I'll repay you properly!"
"How will you repay me?" Elijah's eyes sparkled.
"Can you guess?" Fiona gave him a meaningful smile.
"Ahem, isn't it getting late?" Charlotte looked seriously at everyone. "Since we've rested enough, let's all go about our business! Fiona, from today, you'll intensify your physical training!"
"Okay... okay!" Fiona winked mischievously at Elijah, then straightened her face and walked away.
"I'm going to train now!"
"We'll go too!" Grace and Katherine followed closely.
"Then let's get ready to go out to the mall later." Elijah told Hannah and Lily.
"Okay!" Hannah and Lily agreed.
Hannah went back to her villa to prepare for the outing, while Lily was pulled by Charlotte to the underground warehouse to choose weapons.
In the room, only Elijah and Bella remained.
"How are you feeling now?"
"I'm almost recovered!" Bella's complexion improved significantly.
"Good, there's plenty of food, so eat up. Make sure to take care of yourself, and when Daisy wakes up, remember to prepare something for her too."
"Don't worry, I'm not a child!" The two cuddled together for a moment.
Soon, they heard the sound of footsteps coming up from the basement stairs. Then I saw Lily walking out with a huge axe.
"You chose this weapon!" Elijah was surprised, but then felt it was quite fitting. Now on this island, she seems to be the only one who can use this ax effortlessly.
"I used a fire axe to chop zombies before, but that axe was too light and not handy. This one is just right!" Lily grinned.
Elijah looked at her petite face, impressive bust, and the huge axe that was two-thirds her height. It was oddly mismatched, but then he thought, a violent busty loli also seemed quite impactful!
At this time, Hannah also packed up and came back. She looked at Lily's weapon, also surprised.
"Are you ready?" Elijah asked, noticing that she only had a simple machete, which was odd.
She hadn't changed her clothes, still wearing a T-shirt and pleated skirt shorts, exposing her fair arms and thighs.
"Ready!"
"Um... though your outfit looks pretty and cool, it's not suitable for fighting zombies! You should learn from Daisy and Lily."
Daisy usually went out wearing tight jeans and a tactical jacket, looking heroic! The key was it could prevent being scratched by zombies!
"Yeah, it wouldn't be good if zombies scratched you!" Lily nodded in agreement.
"It's okay, I'm not afraid. Try touching me!" Hannah extended her fair arm.
"Um... you asked me to touch!" Elijah grabbed her arm without hesitation.
It wasn't as soft as he imagined. It felt like holding onto ice, sending chills down his arm to his core.
"Huh? Did you cover the surface with ice?" Elijah was surprised, not expecting such a technique.
"Let me touch!" Lily excitedly came over and examined Hannah.
"It's so cool! I want to sit next to Hannah later."
"Sure!"
"How effective is this layer of ice defense?" Elijah observed closely, noticing the ice layer was thin, barely touching her skin.
It looked like transparent glass, so he hadn't noticed anything unusual at first.
"It can withstand ordinary scratches and bites, and in critical moments, I can reinforce the thickness of certain areas."
"Good! Since everyone's ready, let's go!"
"I envy you being able to dress so cool!" Lily sighed as they walked out.
Among the three of them and Abigail, only she was bundled up tightly. Elijah was also in short sleeves and shorts.
Since Abigail gained her ability, Elijah gave his old set of stab-proof vests and bulletproof vests to Charlotte.
They were about the same height, so it fit her perfectly. He only carried a tactical backpack and belt with some tools he might need.
"Then stick close to your Hannah sister; she's like a human air conditioner now!"
"Yeah, yeah!" The three and Abigail got on the escort vehicle, bid farewell to Bella and Charlotte, and headed off the island.
At the seaside service area, Elijah introduced Lily to Gabriel and Emily, telling them that they would return with other trucks today, so they should be careful when opening the doors.
Then they continued towards the mall.
The five or six kilometers journey passed quickly.
A few zombies appeared on the way, but there weren't many.
Elijah couldn't be bothered to deal with them; he just hit those he could with the car.
Those he couldn't hit were left behind after a while, disappearing from sight.
