Chapter 28: A Master Appears
"Collectible weapons? Daisy, what we need are real weapons, not weapon models!"
"But they are real! That axe is particularly heavy, I couldn't even lift it before! And there are big swords, spears, and swords..."
Daisy danced with excitement.
"Charlotte teacher has collected many weapons!"
Elijah was skeptical.
"Charlotte teacher?"
"Yes, Charlotte is our dance teacher, we can go to her and check it out!"
"Where does your Charlotte teacher live?"
Elijah was also somewhat excited.
If this Charlotte teacher really has many weapons, and they're all real, that would really solve the urgent need.
"She lives in the staff dormitory of our school!"
Elijah's brow furrowed!
"School... that's not a good place. No matter what school, there are countless students inside, which means there are enough zombies to form a horde. Even the most powerful ability holder is helpless against a zombie horde."
Elijah's body faintly ached; he had died in a zombie horde before.
Seemingly guessing what Elijah was thinking, Daisy patted her chest.
"Elijah, you don't need to worry about encountering too many zombies! The staff dormitory is on the south side of the Sunlight Sports Stadium, while the student dormitory is on the north side, quite far away. And we can sneak in all the way in the shadows!"
Elijah listened and felt it made sense. It was his heavy psychological burden that had momentarily frightened him.
He had forgotten about the convenient superpowers they possessed now. Moreover, Daisy's school was conveniently located to the east, not far away and on the way.
"Then let's go!"
Elijah activated his ability and, together with Daisy, merged into the shadows, with the female zombie leading and the two of them following behind.
The female zombie walked crookedly, as if she might fall over at any moment, but miraculously maintained balance at critical times.
And its speed was not slow, moving without making a sound.
"Not only does it have sensory abilities similar to vision, allowing it to detect prey in advance, but also this eerie way of moving... If it weren't in a car but outside, it could easily cause an accident if not careful!"
Elijah's attention shifted to the female zombie's body, feeling somewhat fortunate.
"Maybe after going back, I can try to advance Abigail as well. Perhaps she can awaken some magical abilities too! I just don't know how many corpse cores it will take..."
Excluding Bella's, they currently had six corpse cores in their hands. Considering the standard for cultivating zombie grass, probably four cores would be enough.
But Elijah had never done it before and wasn't sure if it would be successful.
He mentioned his thoughts to Daisy, which excited her greatly.
"I've already fed Daisy one, I'll try feeding her four more tonight when we go back!"
As they spoke, they soon passed through an equally chaotic intersection.
A few hundred meters ahead, they arrived at the entrance of Daisy's school.
"Don't use the main entrance!"
Daisy grabbed Elijah and then pointed to a nearby side road.
"Let's take this way. We can climb over the fence and go straight to the staff dormitory!"
Elijah understood immediately. It was a one-way road, with the school's fence beside it.
delivery person often used this route to deliver food to the teachers and students across the fence.
At this moment, not far ahead of them, several delivery zombies were wandering aimlessly.
Elijah hid behind the female zombie to conceal his presence.
Switching to Elemental Vision ability, he observed inside the fence, finding no danger.
"Let the female zombie stay outside on guard, you go over first!"
After switching back to Daisy's ability and activating it again, Elijah let Daisy go first.
He remained vigilant, watching his surroundings to guard against any sudden situations.
Daisy grabbed the fence and leaped up, flipping over it gracefully and landing lightly on the ground.
Elijah was somewhat surprised; he hadn't expected Daisy to be so agile, like a cat.
He couldn't even guarantee that he wouldn't make a sound when landing.
"Elijah, it's your turn!"
As soon as Daisy landed, she immediately stayed alert to her surroundings and whispered to Elijah.
Elijah also grabbed the fence and flipped over it, making a "thud" sound upon landing.
The several delivery zombies were immediately alarmed and sprinted over.
"Hiss~"
At this moment, the female zombie suddenly opened its mouth and roared, causing the delivery zombies to stop, hesitate for a moment, and eventually leave.
"Huh? Are they afraid of mutated zombies?"
Daisy found it very curious.
"Not exactly fear, more like animals, they have their own territorial awareness. Mutated zombies are stronger than ordinary ones. Although they can't command ordinary zombies, they can still intimidate them a little."
Elijah explained.
"Let's go, now I need you to lead the way!"
"Okay!"
Once inside the school, Daisy was familiar with the route!
The two of them wandered around and soon arrived at a cluster of buildings.
"Is this the staff dormitory?"
Elijah asked, looking at the imposing dormitory building in front of them.
"Yes, but Charlotte teacher isn't here!"
Daisy continued to lead Elijah inside. In a quieter area further in, there were several two or three-story row villas.
"This is where the senior staff like the professors and the dean live. Charlotte teacher's father is also a teacher at the school, and she lives with her parents!"
As Daisy finished speaking, Elijah suddenly pulled her back.
Daisy was puzzled and followed Elijah's gesture, only to find several zombie bodies lying there.
These zombies were all in the same condition, with their necks almost all chopped off.
Even those whose necks weren't severed had clearly been attacked with a knife on their heads.
"This is the work of a master!"
Elijah muttered. From the chopping marks and the technique of cutting, it was evident that this person was skilled with a knife.
"It must be Charlotte teacher! She's okay!"
Daisy exclaimed excitedly.
"If it weren't for the lack of cranial incisions, I would have thought someone else was reborn like me..." Elijah thought to himself.
It was only the sixth day of the apocalypse, and most people with a bit of food were still hiding.
Anyone who could come out to kill zombies in the early stages of the virus outbreak was either crazy or tough.
Elijah was eager to meet this person!
Daisy approached the front gate.
"Knock, knock, knock!"
The crisp knocking sound echoed.
Meanwhile, Elijah remained cautious of his surroundings. Soon, sounds of movement could be heard from inside.
"Who is it?"
A crisp female voice inquired. Just by hearing the voice, Elijah could sense the other person's calm and composure.
"Charlotte, it's me, Daisy!" Daisy replied cheerfully.
"Daisy? Are you alright? Why did you come over so late at night?"
The gate "creaked" open, revealing a tall figure standing at the doorway. Surprisingly, the figure was taller than Daisy, almost reaching Elijah's height.
"Who's he?"
In the moonlight, Charlotte, the teacher, glanced at Daisy first, then immediately noticed Elijah standing alert nearby.
"He's... my boyfriend!" Daisy hesitated for a moment before revealing an unexpected answer to Elijah.
"Hello, I'm Elijah," he introduced himself first.
"Charlotte," Charlotte replied, then turned to Daisy and said, "This isn't a place to chat. Come in!"
Charlotte...
Why did that name sound so familiar?
