The journey back seemed particrly lengthy, with Elijah sitting upright at the helm, steering the yacht diligently.


    Sophia sat in front of him, earnestly teaching him about driving-rted knowledge.


    The yacht surged through the waves, swiftly advancing, but amidst the undtions of the sea, there were unavoidable jolts.


    Elijah remained steady in his seat, but Sophia was somewhat affected by the waves.


    "Are we almost there?" Elijah asked in a deep voice.


    "Almost... almost there!" Sophia squinted her eyes, her face flushed with intoxicating crimson as she looked ahead.


    Azure Isle was now clearly visible!


    "Good!" Just then, a big wave struck!


    The yacht rocked, and Elijah held onto Sophia with both hands.


    "Hold on tight, we''re almost there!" he reassured.


    "Mm..." Sophia let out a soft murmur, sitting firmly and keeping the yacht on course.


    Until finally, as they neared the dock, both let out a sigh of relief!


    "Alright, it''s your turn to dock the boat!" Elijah patted Sophia''s shoulder.


    At his words, Sophia stood up shyly, letting Elijah move away from the helm.


    With a grin, Elijah adjusted her clothing before vacating the driver''s seat.


    Sophia didn''t sit back down but instead stood, carefully observing the yacht''s surroundings, cautiously guiding it to a stop.


    Meanwhile, Elijah headed back to the yacht''s shower, rinsed off quickly, changed into a pair of shorts (the previous ones were soaked and couldn''t be worn anymore), and put on a T-shirt before returning to the cockpit.


    "Is the boat docked?" he asked.


    "It''s docked," Sophia confirmed, having dropped the anchor and shut down the engine.


    With the yacht securely moored, she was ready to leave the helm.


    But as Sophia took a few steps, she felt a slight difort in her body. Adjusting her swimsuit with her hand, she then walked out, her steps slightly unsteady.


    "Go freshen up, no rush. We still need to deal with the fish we caught!" Elijah offered a supportive hand to Sophia.


    "O... okay!" Sophia''s cheeks flushed as she didn''t refuse.


    As Sophia went into the shower, Elijah returned to the deck.


    Hannah had already changed into dry clothes and was busy freezing the Spirit fish.


    She nced at Elijah and nodded towards arge stic container nearby.


    "I found a container. Let''s put the caught fish in there!"


    Elijah looked at the box, which contained some seawater and ice blocks.


    He pulled the box over to the yacht''s tank and used a to transfer the fish into it, one by one.


    By the time he finished, Sophia had finished freshening up and changed into a clean outfit, stepping out.


    "We can''t eat all these fish at once. Where should we keep them? Should we preserve them by pickling?" Sophia asked casually, pretending as if nothing had happened.


    "I remember there''s a veryrge pool in the hotel, specifically for keeping fish caught during sea fishing. We can temporarily keep them there!" Elijah suggested.


    "That''s originally for guests to store their catches!" Hannah added.


    "Then let''s do that!" Elijahmanded, then instructed Whitey, who had been trailing the yacht, to patrol within a five-kilometer radius of the ind.


    With Abigail and a few remaining female zombies, they returned to the shore.


    After ensuring there were no oversights and everything was properly arranged, Elijah carried the fish catch and headed back to the sightseeing car they had used to arrive.


    Hannah took the driver''s seat and, once everyone, including the zombies, was settled, immediately drove towards the hotel.


    Upon reaching the hotel entrance, Be was already waiting there.


    Today, she was on duty in the control room and was the first to see the three returning.


    "Wow! So many fish!" Be eximed happily.


    With just these fish, they could eat well for several days.


    If they could harvest this much every day, they wouldn''t have to worry about protein sources even without poultry or livestock.


    "Sophia found a good spot where there are a lot of fish!" Elijah praised.


    "Sophia is really amazing!" Be, understanding Sophia''s situation with her legs, gave Elijah a knowing nce and affectionately linked arms with Sophia.


    Sophia, unaware of Be''s understanding of her rtionship with Elijah, just smiled shyly.


    They all returned to the hotel, where in a corner of the lobby on the ground floor, there was a huge pool.


    Originally, there were several sea fish in it, but during Fiona and their group''s initial survival days, they had eaten them all.


    Now it was empty, without a single fish, and the water wasn''t circting.


    After Hannah came in, she turned on the water pump, firstly to oxygenate the water and secondly to get the water circting in the pool.


    "Let''s wait a bit before putting them in!" After Hannah finished, she asked Elijah to put the box of fish to the side.


    "We''ll take the less active fish back to the viter and have them for dinner tonight!"


    Elijah said, then turned to Be.


    "Everything was normal on the ind today?"


    "Nothing on the ind, but Fiona and the others encountered some trouble!" Be replied.


    "What kind of trouble?" Hannah asked anxiously.


    Elijah''s heart skipped a beat. Did trouble start on the first day he let go?


    "Today, another group of people came to the mall to search for supplies. Seeing Fiona and the others were women, they tried to rob them. In the end, Fiona killed a few of them and scared the rest away!" After Be finished, Hannah breathed a sigh of relief.


    "Not all of them were killed?" Elijah''s eyes shed with coldness.


    With the duration of the apocalypse getting longer, more survivors who didn''t see rescue andcked supplies woulde out.


    Among them were ruthless individuals who had experienced life and death struggles.


    Fiona and the others were all beautiful women, and encountering these people inevitably led to feelings of disdain and even possessiveness, which didn''t surprise Elijah.


    So, in the apocalypse, strength was the most important thing!


    "No, a few of them were very cunning and kept their distance. As soon as they sensed something was wrong, they ran away immediately!" Be exined.


    "Okay, I understand. As long as our people are safe!" Elijah decided to talk to Fiona when she returned.


    "By the way, we''ll deal with this Spirit fishter. Remove all the internal organs from the fish heads, but don''t throw them away. See if they''re mashed up or what. We''ll use them as bait, and we might catch more Spirit fish!" Elijah picked up the Spirit fish that Hannah had chilled and said to Sophia and Be.


    "Leave it to me!" Sophia patted her chest. "I know how to handle it!"


    She gave Elijah a reassuring look. She knew what Elijah was worried about, especially after witnessing the Spirit fish eating the female zombies.


    "Yeah, just do whatever with this fish. When it''s ready, give Yello a piece to taste first and see the effect!" Be was puzzled, but Sophia whispered something in her ear.


    After hearing Sophia''s words, Be couldn''t help but pray for Yello, who had be the guinea pig. She hoped it would be okay!


    With everything settled, the three women busied themselves, leaving Elijah with nothing to do.


    He sensed the locations of the women and found Grace, Charlotte, and Olivia were practicing martial arts together.


    Katherine was likely tending to the fruits and vegetables in the greenhouse.


    Deciding to check on their progress, Elijah headed towards the vi. As he passed Fiona''s vi, he suddenly heard some noiseing from inside.


    Curious, Elijah looked closer and saw someone inside.


    "Huh? Who''s in there?" Elijah wondered. As he approached, he realized it was the older sister Daisy brought back from the Daisymunity! Her name was Jasmine, right? Elijah remembered!


    She was the only person on the ind he hadn''t formed a contract with, which was why he hadn''t sensed her location.


    At this moment, Jasmine hadn''t noticed Elijah. She was bent over, cleaning the vi''s interior. From Elijah''s perspective, she looked like a full moon.


    "Hmm, I didn''t notice before, but this big sister has quite the figure!"
