Chapter 39: He couldn't even wait for a night
"I heard it from Abigail!" Daisy's voice unconsciously lowered a bit.
"Some girls in our school, they are vain, have no earning ability but love high consumption, what should we do? Some people resort to loans. In the end, unable to repay, they are forced to take photos or even engage in prostitution! Abigail said the mastermind behind the scenes is this person."
"..."
Elijah was somewhat speechless; he had seen such things online before, but he hadn't realized they were so common.
There were even such cases in their school. And Abigail... She really could find out anything!
"So, you don't oppose me dealing with them, right? This will only take up a little of our time!"
"Elijah, go ahead! Hmm... but how do we deal with them? Elijah, do you have a plan?"
"Naturally, there is a way!"
Actually, even if left alone, this gang would eventually collapse.
Later, Keymaster encountered a gambling addict among them. He said these people didn't treat them like humans.
A small police station was divided into three classes.
The biggest of them naturally was the underworld boss Daniel and his four brothers, who monopolized everything, including the only girl who sold her body.
Next were a few petty thieves who flattered Daniel and acted as their lackeys.
At the bottom were a few johns and gamblers.
They usually don't have much to eat and drink, so giving them something to eat is just like sending beggars to ensure that they don't starve to death.
However, when there was any danger, they were pushed to the forefront. With guns in others' hands, they could only swallow their pride.
Until one of the johns awakened superpowers and killed Daniel while catching him off guard.
He then took out two more of Daniel's brothers in succession, before being discovered due to the commotion.
This gang immediately fell into internal strife, and in the end, all the underworld elements were wiped out, with the surviving few dividing the assets and going their separate ways.
Elijah naturally didn't have time to wait for their internal strife; he couldn't even wait for a night.
So the best solution was to utilize Daisy's ability to infiltrate and kill the leaders. Elijah expressed his thoughts, and Daisy had no objections.
It was strange, before, hearing about murder or seeing blood, she would feel a bit scared and resistant.
But since the virus outbreak, Daisy couldn't say she was numb to these things; rather, she didn't feel much at all, as if it were just an ordinary thing.
So when she stabbed zombies, she felt no fear at all.
Sometimes she wondered if something was wrong with her.
But then she thought, surviving now was not easy, so she didn't care.
What she cared about now was... she was hungry!
"Elijah, what time is it now? I'm hungry!"
"It's almost 11 o'clock. The food is in the backpack outside; go get it yourself!"
"Aren't you eating?"
Daisy looked at Elijah, who wasn't moving, feeling a bit strange.
"I'll observe a bit more. You go ahead and eat!"
Elijah took out the binoculars and continued to look towards the police station.
"Alright~"
In the police station, a few more people followed Daniel out, commanded by him to move supplies together.
Soon, all the supplies on the pickup truck were moved into the house.
But soon, everyone returned to the yard.
Among them, four big men with guns each distributed a weapon to the others, then supervised them as they started to deal with the zombies at the entrance.
"This is for collecting supplies in the future!"
Elijah muttered to himself.
"Is this all of them here? Even the boss Daniel is out, so there shouldn't be anyone slacking off... No, there's one woman, but she's not important!"
"Indeed, no Keymaster. This guy slipped away pretty fast! He even thought of recruiting him if he met him! Now... let's leave it to fate!"
Although saying so, Elijah estimated it would be difficult to encounter him again in the future.
In his past life, he headed north, near the outskirts of the old district, close to Stellar City.
If the future trajectory hadn't changed, Keymaster would also slowly roam there. And now, Elijah and his group planned to go south.
Completely opposite direction!
But who could say what would happen in the future?
Maybe one day they would meet again! Although Keymaster was a bit of a petty thief, he wasn't a bad person.
On the contrary, in the apocalypse, he had more principles than most people.
Elijah had seen this old guy secretly help several children who had lost their parents.
But some people, seemingly righteous, in the apocalypse, cast off their shackles, and the evil in their hearts was more chilling than anyone else's.
Elijah thought of a certain despicable character, itching to get revenge.
Compared to Daniel and that character, everyone seemed much kinder.
"Revenge can wait, let's develop ourselves first. It's a matter of time..."
Elijah calmed down a bit, watching the people in the police station clean up the zombies at the entrance, and the bodies were thrown into the corner of the yard, feeling more assured.
Now, it's just a matter of waiting for the night!
Elijah put away his binoculars, feeling a bit hungry and ready to grab something to eat.
But as soon as he stepped into the small living room, Daisy's presence immediately captivated him.
Her hair was still damp, as if she had just taken a shower, and she emitted a mist of water vapor, wrapped in only a towel.
The towel was quite long, concealing Daisy's lovely figure, revealing only delicate collarbones, rounded arms, and slender legs.
However, her skin appeared even more hydrated than usual, and she seemed much more refreshed.
Though she had no makeup on, she exuded the vibrant aura of a young girl.
"Elijah, aren't you monitoring anymore?"
Daisy noticed him but didn't pay much attention, busying herself with choosing clothes.
She didn't know when she had gone downstairs and brought up a pile of clothes.
Elijah noticed the little panties in her hand and couldn't help but wonder... Did she not wear anything under the towel?
"If I had known you were changing, I should have stopped spying on them!"
Elijah took a couple of steps closer, catching a whiff of the fragrance emanating from Daisy's body, probably from some kind of shower gel.
"Hmph!" Just knowing that you were monitoring them with all your attention, I didn't even eat, so I quickly took a shower.
Daisy thought to herself. This was her first time taking a proper shower since the virus outbreak.
Before that, she only wiped herself, which couldn't really be considered a proper shower.
If it weren't for the fact that they couldn't take the drinking water from this place, she wouldn't have dared to be so extravagant.
"Where did you find the shower gel and towel?"
Elijah was a bit puzzled. He knew about the water situation; the buckets were empty.
He had also been to the bathroom, which only had a toilet and a sink.
There were no such items there.
"Didn't you notice when you came in? This shop has gift items for stored value. Among the gifts, there are summer quilts, laundry detergent, shower gel, towels, tissues, and so on."
"I never go into ladies' lingerie stores..."
Elijah wanted to say, but then he thought better of it.
He hadn't paid attention to these things even when he went into other clothing stores.
"I think these two are better!"
Elijah picked up a set of semi-transparent, lacy, minimally clothed underwear as he watched her carefully selecting.
