Daisy''s enthusiasm immediately soared. The two of them sprinted all the way, taking nearly an hour to reach the entrance of Daisy''s school.


    "I sensed it!" Elijah suddenly stopped.


    "Sensed what?"


    "Abigail has indeed awakened. I can sense her ability!"


    They were now less than two kilometers away from their home, the limit of Elijah''s ability simtion.


    When he had entered within five kilometers earlier, he had already noticed a change in Abigail''s body condition.


    But zombie mutations were different from humans; some might not awaken abilities but merely enhance physical strength, bing more deformed.


    At that time, Elijah couldn''t sense any ability, so he couldn''t confirm whether Abigail had awakened one. Now, there was no doubt.


    "Let me try to see what ability she has!"


    The two of them hid in a corner. Elijah released Daisy''s invisibility and attempted to simte Abigail''s ability.


    The flow of energy within Abigail''s body was different from the others.


    Daisy''s was mainly in her limbs, the female zombie''s around her eyes and ears, Charlotte''s was the most mysterious, within her dangerous brain nerves, and Hannah''s was around her kidneys.


    The location, path, and manner of energy usage seemed to determine the manifestation of their superpowers.


    Elijah had wondered if recording the flow of their energy and then reproducing it could grant him their abilities. He had tried, but unfortunately failed!


    It wasn''t that it couldn''t be reproduced, but it was tooplex. He relied solely on the automatic simtion of the seeds of consciousness.


    When he tried to consciously remember, he found that the pathways involved in each ability were incrediblyplex.


    He alsocked relevant knowledge about human meridian acupoints. In the end, he could only reluctantly give up.


    Foolproof simtion was the most convenient. With just a thought, the energy within his body immediately followed Abigail''s, filling his skin.


    "This ability... feels somewhat familiar!" Elijah opened his eyes, somewhat surprised.


    "Daisy, cut me with a knife!"


    "Huh? Elijah, are you okay?" Daisy touched his head.


    "Could Abigail''s ability be making people dumb?"


    "What? I''m testing the ability! Use the knife to cut me!"


    "Oh, I see."


    Daisy took out the short knife she had taken from Charlotte before.


    "Then I''ll do it!"


    After confirming again and seeing Elijah nod, Daisy used the knife to make a shallow cut on his outstretched arm. Daisy felt as if she had sliced through tough leather; the sharp de only left a shallow scratch on his skin.


    "Huh? Nothing happened! What kind of ability is this? It seems like I''ve heard of it somewhere!"


    "It''s simr to that Isaac who escaped, he had a simr ability!"


    Elijah reminded her.


    Daisy suddenly realized. "The defensive-type superpower you mentioned, right?"


    "Yes, it seems Abigail has awakened a simr ability. Her skin has be extremely tough, making it difficult for ordinary knives and zombie bites to prate."


    "That''s great! But I wonder if Abigail has regained her sanity?"


    "She probably hasn''t..."


    Elijah paused.


    "After reconnecting with Abigail, I didn''t sense the same resistance as with this female zombie here."


    He pointed to the mutated female zombie beside him.


    "Okay..."


    Daisy felt a bit disappointed.


    "Anyway, awakening to an advanced level is still a good thing. Maybe if we give Abigail more corpse cores and she advances again, there will be changes!"


    Elijah reassured her.


    "Yeah, Elijah, let''s hurry up, I can''t wait to get back!"


    "No need to rush. Now that we''ve confirmed that both Abigail and Be are safe, let''s make sure we''re prepared!"


    Elijah switched back to Daisy''s ability.


    "Let''s first go find Charlotte and have her get ready! Then we''ll clear out the entrance of the residential area and find a car!"


    "Okay, in that case, let''s split up. I''ll go find Charlotte, and you head back to the residential area!"


    "Sounds good!"


    This way, they could be more efficient. It wasn''t toote yet, they could still get some sleep tonight and set off early tomorrow!


    After discussing, they separated. Daisy sneaked into the school, while Elijah, with the mutated female zombie, continued walking back, keeping an eye out for nearby vehicles.


    To transport the weapons from Charlotte''s house, they needed a truck, and for safety, it had to be an enclosed one to prevent zombies from injuring anyone inside.


    There were plenty of trucks on the road, but none were satisfactory. Either the vehicles were damaged, or they were filled with too much cargo. Elijah even saw a truck filled with snacks that tempted him to drive away.


    This reminded him that when they settled down in Azure Isle, trucks on the road would be a good option for gathering supplies.


    As he passed by the nearest intersection, a car parked outside the bank caught his eye.


    "An armored truck..."


    Elijah walked up to it and found the door wide open, with the driver nowhere to be seen. The rearpartment door was also open.


    "This must have been a cash transport vehicle that got caught in the virus outbreak!"


    There was only an ATM machine here, no counter, so Elijah quickly understood what was going on.


    He looked inside the car and found the keys still in the ignition, immediately overjoyed. He carefully examined the vehicle.


    It was over five meters long, almost two meters wide, and about as tall.


    Apart from the driver''s seat in the front row, the passenger seat could amodate two more people.


    Behind the driver''s seat was another row of seats, with enough space for three people, and even squeezing in four wouldn''t be a problem.


    There were also shooting holes on the ss of the second row of doors.


    Further back was the steel-built cargopartment.


    The entirepartment was seamless, except for the rear door, and there was a small door on the far right of the second row of seats that led inside.


    The more Elijah looked, the more he liked it.


    "Just you wait! Bulletproof ss, reinforced body... Not to mention zombies, bullets won''t even pierce through!"


    He then went into the rearpartment and tried cing the spear inside. It was too long to fit straight, but it fit diagonally.


    "Not bad, just right!"


    Elijah nodded in satisfaction. This way, he wouldn''t worry about not fitting Charlotte''s weapons.


    After all, there weren''t many weapons over two meters long. If they couldn''t fit, he could open the small door leading to the second row of seats inside the cargopartment.


    With one end inside thepartment and the other end reaching the second row, it would work.


    He left the spear there and closed all the doors. Elijah sat in the driver''s seat, and the mutated female zombie sat in the passenger seat as he tried to start the car.


    The engine hummed to life.


    "Roar... Grr..."


    Seeing the light and hearing the sound, nearby zombies immediately became agitated, rushing towards the car.


    Elijah ignored them and turned the direction.


    "Bang! Bang! Bang!"


    Running over a few obstructing zombies, Elijah drove the car onto the main road, then immediately switched to Abigail''s ability, carrying two short hammers obtained from Charlotte''s ce as he got out of the car.


    Seeing living creatures, the zombies immediately charged forward.


    Elijah stood firm, unafraid. Not to mention the stab-proof suit and bulletproof vest he was wearing, just Abigail''s defensive superpower alone meant he didn''t have to worry about getting scratched.


    Swinging the short hammers, Elijah smashed the nearest zombie''s head.
