Capítulo 3: So why not start with Bella?
In Elijah's previous life, after being bitten by Alexander, it was witnessing scenes like this, coupled with the great terror between life and death, that made him, in his rage, rape Bella!
As a result, he survived the zombie transformation, while Bella unfortunately turned into a zombie.
But it was also this incident that made him discover his awakened superpower.
As for how he managed to implant the "Seed of Consciousness" into Bella's body... This brings us to the medium of the "Seed of Consciousness".
Currently, Elijah could only confirm two mediums: semen... and blood!
The "Seed of Consciousness" could reside in them for a period of time.
If it couldn't find a host in time, it would disappear along with the coagulation of the blood. Elijah sighed and shook his head.
Naturally, he wouldn't force it anymore. That was too low-level, unnecessary!
In the apocalypse, strength was paramount.
With strength, one could have food, and some people, for the sake of a meal, could accompany you for a day and come up with various ways to entertain you.
However, Elijah soon made a new discovery.
Was there water where Bella had fallen? Uh, was she scared? Was what he did just now that scary? He thought back... It seemed quite scary!
After all, the apocalypse had just begun, and ordinary people might not be accustomed to his somewhat unconventional way of dealing with corpses.
Thinking of corpses, Elijah scratched his head.
He definitely couldn't just leave them like this; they needed to be dealt with, or they would spoil sooner or later.
It was summer now, without the virus driving them, corpses would decay quickly, and he was planning to stay here for a while.
Elijah sighed and forcefully lifted Alexander's corpse, leaving a bright red bloodstain on the ground as he dragged it.
Bella finally regained her senses and, watching this horrifying scene, couldn't help but shiver, her voice trembling as she asked, "What... what are you going to do?"
"Of course, throw it away. Do you want to keep it for him to bury?" Bella hesitated, unable to speak.
"It's no use thinking about it. It's too hot now, and currently, everyone is struggling to survive. Look outside, there are so many corpses..."
Elijah hadn't finished speaking when a sudden scream came from the building opposite.
"Help! Zombies are eating people..."
Bella happened to be facing the window and saw a woman pressed against the glass, with a zombie firmly biting her neck from behind.
Blood spurted out, staining the glass red.
The woman kept pounding the glass with her hands, leaving bloody handprints.
Soon, the woman's screams gradually subsided, no longer audible, and her body stopped struggling, slowly sliding down below the glass.
Only the blood-red glass remained, telling the story of the tragedy just now.
Bella's face turned pale, thinking that if it weren't for Elijah just now, she might have ended up like that too.
So, seeing Elijah drag Alexander's body to the window and then push it out with effort, she didn't say anything more.
With a "bang," the body landed heavily outside the building, the loud noise alerting the nearby zombies, who immediately swarmed towards the body.
When they got closer and found that it was a corpse of the same kind, the zombies gradually dispersed! Damn!
Elijah was a bit annoyed. His body was too weak; he was exhausted just moving a corpse.
Now, if he went out, he might not be able to handle even a few ordinary zombies. It looked like he needed to step up his training!
Elijah immediately felt the urgency of time. Awakened individuals had greatly enhanced physical abilities, far surpassing ordinary people.
However, this wasn't an immediate change; it required slow accumulation over time.
In addition, the only way to enhance it is through targeted training.
Increasing abilities only raises the body's limit; whether one can reach it depends on oneself.
Although Elijah's superpower had awakened, his physical fitness was still that of an ordinary person.
He needed some time to train and strengthen his body. This was also the main reason why he wanted to hide here for a while.
"Elijah..." Bella trembled as she stood up, about to ask something, but her body suddenly froze.
"What?" Elijah turned to look at her, noticing a blush on her pale face.
"N-nothing, I'll go back first!" Bella lowered her head, unable to look at him, and awkwardly returned to her bedroom.
Elijah first glanced at her skirt, then at the spot where she had fallen earlier... She was really scared!
Shaking his head, Elijah started cleaning up the floor, clearing away the bloodstains while considering how to deal with Bella.
Killing her definitely wasn't appropriate; it would be a waste.
Not to mention her appearance!
In the apocalypse, every living person was... well, let's talk about her appearance!
Especially those legs! Long, straight, white, and slender!
They left a deep impression on Elijah!
Mainly because she liked to wear shorts and wander around the house.
Elijah couldn't help but look.
If it weren't for the fact that she had a husband...
Thinking of this, Elijah glanced at the window with the remaining bloodstains.
Oh, they were gone now!
Damn!
It had to be said, everyone hates perverts!
But everyone wants to be one too! Elijah didn't mind this at all.
If he did, he wouldn't find many women in the apocalypse!
They've all been passed around a few times! For the sake of survival, they didn't care!
But in this life, he had strength and power.
Naturally, he wouldn't let his women suffer.
And having multiple women... was quite normal.
So why not start with Bella?
Elijah made up his mind.
But in these matters, using force is not fun.
It has to be that the woman is willing. Only then can there be mutual understanding! Elijah wasn't in a hurry.
Being alone together in a room, waiting for her to realize the reality, things would naturally fall into place.
But for now, the priority was to implant the "Seed of Consciousness" in her!
Otherwise, if she suddenly turned into a zombie and attacked, even if Elijah could handle it, he couldn't guarantee that he wouldn't get hurt.
As the saying goes, a gentleman does not stand under a dangerous wall... Elijah was deep in thought.
Bella finally emerged from her room.
She seemed to have just taken a shower, with a misty aura enveloping her body, making her skin look even more moist.
She was still wearing a short-sleeved shirt on her upper body, but she had changed into hot pants on the lower half, her long legs standing together.
Her face, now devoid of makeup, lost a bit of delicacy but gained a hint of laziness, and her semi-dry hair was casually scattered, giving her a charming and refreshing appearance.
Elijah glanced at her fair long legs and continued to wipe the floor with a mop.
Bella saw that the puddle on the floor had already been washed away and felt relieved.
She had struggled in her room just now.
She didn't know how to face Elijah. She felt grateful to Elijah for saving her, but she also feared his ruthless methods and worried that he would notice her embarrassment from being scared.
But she had too many questions in her mind, and she was also anxious and confused about the future, so she could only come to find Elijah.
"Elijah!"
Bella glanced at the reddened puddle on the floor and cautiously approached.
"What's going on outside? Do you know?"
She carefully chose her words, not directly asking him about his outfit.
Wearing jeans and a windbreaker on such a hot day was very unusual.
"I have a guess. It's probably the outbreak of the zombie virus, like a movie come to life!"
Capítulo 4: This beam of light was Elijah's spiritual line
The secret of Elijah's rebirth was something he naturally wouldn't share with anyone, but he also knew that his actions were somewhat unusual.
"You're wondering how I knew your husband would turn into a zombie, right? And why I was prepared in advance!"
"Yes... yes!"
"To be honest, I was just being cautious. When I saw your husband, I thought of the woman being chased downstairs."
Bella was led by Elijah's words, thinking of the woman's tragic situation, and her face turned a few shades paler.
"According to the time your husband entered, he should have been before the woman. This made me suspect, did he also get chased by zombies? Maybe even got scratched or bitten?"
"So when I closed the door, I immediately changed my clothes..."
Following Elijah's train of thought, Bella quickly understood, amazed at his meticulous thinking.
"Yes, so when I saw your husband about to attack you, I acted without hesitation. You won't blame me for killing your husband, will you?"
"No... no, he had already turned into a monster, and I haven't thanked you for saving me!"
Bella forced a smile.
"But why did you use a hammer to hit Alexander afterward..."
She struggled to continue. Remembering that scene, she couldn't help but shiver.
"I was afraid he wasn't dead enough, so I just made sure!"
Elijah gave a reason, not wanting to reveal anything about the corpse core.
But you're too skilled! Bella couldn't help but curse inwardly.
"So what should we do next?"
Bella was a bit nervous.
"I don't know if you've noticed, but the power is out now!"
Elijah didn't answer directly but brought up another matter.
"Just found out when I was showering, the bathroom light wasn't on, and the hairdryer didn't work!"
"With the current danger outside, I seriously doubt the power will come back on. If it's short-term, it's fine, but if it's long-term, water and gas will also stop. So, we should clean out the refrigerator, check our food supplies, stock up on water, ensure survival. As for the future... we'll have to take it one step at a time!"
Seeing Elijah calm and methodical, Bella's heart settled a bit.
"So... should I go clean out the fridge now?"
"Sure, you can start with mine. It's just the two of us here, and we don't need to separate things between us. We'll get through this together!"
"Okay!"
With that, the two of them began to act separately.
Elijah quickly cleaned the floor and filled all the containers in the house with water.
Bella collected the food from both refrigerators and sorted it out, distinguishing between items with longer shelf lives and those that needed to be eaten soon.
"Here, have a drink. It's still cold, perfect for this hot weather!"
After a busy moment, both of them were sweating, and Elijah handed Bella a bottle of Coke from the fridge. Although it had melted, it was still very cold.
"Thank you!"
Bella took it, took a small sip, feeling the refreshing coldness, and then continued drinking.
"You have a lot of vegetables at home, unlike me, all I have is instant noodles!"
Elijah looked at the neatly categorized food and praised Bella!
Most of the longer-lasting items were Elijah's food, including instant noodles, canned goods, sausages, pickled vegetables, and other ready-to-eat or pre-made products. He rarely cooked at home and usually ate out or ordered takeout. Occasionally, he would stock up on these foods at home.
Bella's house was more normal, with rice, flour, oil, potatoes, tomatoes, celery, eggs, meat, and other staples.
"But now it's become a problem. Without electricity, it's difficult to store food. If even the gas is cut off, these foods..."
Bella frowned slightly.
"When there's a will, there's a way. It's already noon; you should cook first and eat what's not easily preserved!"
Elijah had a smile on his face, in his vision, a beam of light connected him and Bella, a connection only he could see.
This represented that the seed of consciousness had successfully been planted within Bella's body.
This beam of light was Elijah's spiritual line.
If the other party was a zombie, he could control the zombie with it.
If the other party was a human, he could also use it to send suggestive commands, gradually achieving the effect of subconscious hypnosis over time.
Currently, Elijah's suggestion was to make Bella feel that he was a trustworthy person!
Subconscious hypnosis needed to be gradual; suggestions like falling in love with me directly wouldn't work and would make the other party suspicious.
In his past life, Elijah also underwent long tests to find the right balance and started building a team of explorers loyal to him, but unfortunately...
Elijah's expression darkened slightly, but he quickly regained his composure.
Putting the blood containing the seed of consciousness into cola really worked like a charm!
With no more worries, it was time to start exercising!
Meanwhile, Bella, with her fair long legs, walked into the kitchen to start cooking.
While Bella was cooking, Elijah stood in the empty space of the living room and began practicing martial arts.
The set of punches he practiced was called the Golden Elephant Body Forging Technique.
Although the name sounded low, like a martial art from a second-rate martial arts novel, the effect was indeed remarkable.
He spent a considerable amount of money learning it in his past life.
It's said that it was created by an awakened esper who possessed perception-based superpowers, collecting classic martial arts from several masters, combining them with modern scientific training methods, sensing the dynamics of his own muscles and bones, experimenting and summarizing, refining it to perfection.
It was an extremely powerful body forging technique that could push the body of an awakened individual to its limit in the shortest amount of time.
Half of Elijah's physique in his past life was accumulated through time, and the other half was improved by this set of martial arts.
In the living room, Elijah adjusted his breath first, then slowly assumed his stance, practicing each move methodically.
He didn't execute each move quickly; each action was accompanied by corresponding breathing.
If observed closely, it would be noticed that between motion and stillness, the muscles, tendons, and bones in different parts of his body would tighten, contract, and relax with each movement and breath.
At the same time, a warm stream flowed through Elijah's body with his movements, giving him a tingling sensation, temporarily forgetting his fatigue!
After completing the set of punches, Elijah's body was slightly sweaty, feeling a bit tired, and his hunger noticeably increased.
Just then, Bella finished cooking and called him to eat.
Elijah looked at the table, where there were two dishes: celery stir-fried with meat, stir-fried seasonal vegetables, and steamed rice as the main dish.
They sat down, Elijah tasted the food, surprisingly delicious, and he couldn't help but praise her.
Even just cooking, she proved to be worth keeping around!
Bella smiled slightly and curiously asked, "Were you exercising just now?"
