Apocalypse Rebirth: Beauties Surround Me

Chapter 27: Elemental Vision

"With the flexibility and perception it's showing now. If we encounter it in an open environment, we might not be able to catch it!"

Mutant zombies are also known as first-order zombies, corresponding to first-order awakeners among humans.

Some of them have become extremely powerful and bizarre, while others, like human awakeners, possess incredible abilities.

In his previous life, Elijah had tried to control them several times, but the seeds of consciousness encountered fierce resistance when manipulated, similar to animals.

The cost of being unable to control them was being hunted down by the zombies following their instincts. He was almost killed once.

At that time, Elijah believed it was because his psychic abilities weren't sufficient.

So when he guessed that the corpse core might be able to cultivate mutant zombies, he didn't dare to try, fearing not only wasting his efforts but also endangering his life.

Now that he's second-tier, he has some confidence.

"We can't just smash the glass, otherwise, it would be dangerous if it seizes the opportunity to escape!"

Elijah observed the body of the car and quickly came up with a solution.

Near the rearview mirror of the car, there was a small triangular piece of glass, about the size of two palms, no matter how the zombie tried to drill, it couldn't get out.

He took out the sheep horn hammer and smashed it twice.

The zombie inside was initially startled and then, seeing the gap, rushed out suddenly.

"Bang!"

It collided with the car!

The flesh and blood on the zombie's face were smashed into a blur, looking particularly ferocious.

Elijah bit his finger and injected the blood containing the seeds of consciousness into the zombie's open mouth.

A spiritual beam connected him and the zombie.

"Sure enough..."

Elijah's seeds of consciousness felt a faint resistance inside the zombie's body.

It was a world of difference compared to his attempts to control mutant zombies in his previous life.

It was much easier to control now. Soon, Elijah received feedback from the zombie.

One of the uses of energy immediately caught his attention.

"I guessed right, this zombie indeed has superpowers!"

Unlike Daisy's energy circulating throughout her body, the energy inside this zombie mainly operates in its head, especially in the eyes and ears.

Elijah simulated the opponent's ability and immediately felt a rush of heat flowing towards his eyes and ears.

The scene in front of him immediately shattered and reformed, as if veiled in a thin mist, making it difficult to see anything clearly, except... humans and zombies!

No, it should be said, large-bodied creatures with vital signs! They were shining like fireflies, so bright in the darkness!

Whether they were directly visible or obstructed by obstacles, as long as they were within his field of vision, they all appeared vividly before him.

"It's a bit like radar! No, it's more like Elemental Vision!"

Elijah remembered a game he had played.

"Is this how it's subdued? It feels incredible every time I see it!"

Daisy looked at the zombie obediently, staring at it curiously.

"It's a female! Too bad her face is ruined..."

After Elijah had adjusted to the zombie's ability a bit, he found that there was no danger around, so he smashed the glass window, opened the door, and let the zombie out.

After spending a long time inside the car, the zombie appeared somewhat disoriented when it emerged, its body twisted in an odd posture.

Eventually, the instincts of the creature prevailed. Its bones rapidly wriggled, gradually restoring a human-like stance.

At this point, Elijah could clearly see the zombie's figure; indeed, it was a female zombie!

Earlier, amidst the blood splattered around the car and the zombie contorting its body, covered in blood, it was hard to tell.

As it stood fully upright, its gender became apparent. The upper half of its clothing, either torn or hanging loose, resembled ragged pieces of cloth.

Unfortunately, her face was utterly disfigured from repeatedly colliding with the vehicle, coupled with the bloodstains and foul odor emanating from her body, Elijah wasn't inclined to look further.

"Alright, the danger is averted. Let's refuel with diesel," Elijah walked to the front of the truck, found the fuel tank cap, unscrewed it, and inserted the hose he had prepared earlier from his backpack into the tank.

He sucked hard, and diesel immediately began to flow continuously into the bucket they had brought over.

They filled two and a half buckets in succession, nearly 50 liters of diesel, without any spillage.

"There's quite a lot of fuel in this car!"

Daisy happily sealed the bucket with duct tape, and the two of them carried it back to the electric tricycle.

Throughout the process, Elijah kept using the zombie's superpowers to observe their surroundings to ensure their safety.

"With this zombie's superpowers, we can avoid many dangers in the future, right?"

Finally free from the constant strain of maintaining his powers, Daisy was in a good mood. After all, relying on superpowers all the time was too exhausting.

"Still, we shouldn't be too careless. Have you forgotten how this zombie discovered us? Who knows what other abilities could evade this one?" Elijah cautioned.

"Alright," Daisy pouted, knowing that Elijah was thinking about their safety.

"Shall we continue looking for diesel?" After they had stored the diesel, Daisy noticed there was still an empty bucket on the electric tricycle.

"These should be enough until we move. For now, let's find a hardware store." Elijah had no objections. They didn't use the tricycle again but walked eastward.

The female zombie led the way.

They observed the road conditions while searching for a hardware store.

"I remember there was one nearby."

Elijah's memory was somewhat fuzzy; after all, it had been quite a while since the apocalypse, even counting the year before the rebirth.

"Elijah, are you looking for weapons in the hardware store?" Daisy remembered Elijah mentioning something like that before.

"Right! The weapons we have are too inadequate!"

Elijah shook the umbrella in his hand.

After these past few days of continuous fighting, the tip of the umbrella was slightly crooked, and while the umbrella body was supported by umbrella bones, it was still functional.

Daisy also looked at the trekking pole in her hand.

As her strength grew, it was indeed becoming less convenient to use, light and weightless, lacking in substance.

Sometimes, when she exerted too much force, the pole would bend, fearing it might snap.

"A hammer would be more useful. If it could be bigger and longer, that would be great!"

Daisy tightened her grip on the hammer in her other hand.

A long and short weapon, these were their standard equipment to deal with fights at different distances.

"With your strength, you could use a long-handled fire axe or a mountain axe, ensuring a one-axe, one-brain scenario. The only problem is, it's not easy to find such things!"

The city was different from the village or the mountains; who usually needed a mountain axe?

"A mountain axe?"

Daisy visualized a large double-bladed axe with a long handle in her mind. Had she seen it somewhere before?

"Ah! I know where to find one!"

Suddenly, Daisy jumped up excitedly. "I know someone whose house has a lot of weapons..."
