Apocalypse Rebirth: Beauties Surround Me

Chapter 31   It all fits perfectly!

"Yes! Not only do we have methods to quickly enhance the strength of the capable, but we also have ways to advance secondary abilities!" Elijah finally let out what he had been holding in, feeling much relieved!

Charlotte immediately looked at Elijah with new respect. She had already held him in high regard, but it seemed she had underestimated him!

At this moment, she finally found some interest in this team, not just for the sake of becoming stronger.

"Besides you and Daisy, do we have anyone else in our team?"

"Yes, one more person."

"Does that mean I'm also a co-founder? Is the person male or female?"

"Female."

Charlotte looked at Elijah with a hint of strangeness in her eyes.

A team with four members, three of them female, seemed odd to her.

But... she liked it. She didn't want to live with a stranger man.

As for Elijah... he wasn't a stranger anymore.

Due to the mental fusion they had experienced, there was an inexplicable sense of familiarity.

"Has she awakened her ability too?"

"Not yet."

"Not yet?"

"Yeah, we also know how to safely awaken abilities, but it requires something that's not easy to find."

Elijah didn't hide anything. Although they had just met, he found that Charlotte didn't resist his mental suggestions after the spiritual fusion they experienced.

Perhaps there was a shape of him in her mind?

Charlotte was somewhat numb from the shock. It was only the sixth day of the zombie outbreak, right?

The majority of rational people were holed up at home waiting for rescue.

Even though she could easily deal with zombies, she had never thought of going outside.

But Elijah... not only had he started running around outside, but he also knew how to awaken abilities, how to enhance the strength of the capable, and even how to advance abilities. It was simply unbelievable!

Could he be related to this virus outbreak, or does he know some insider information?

Charlotte could only make such guesses reluctantly.

"Alright, it's getting late! Daisy, you demonstrate the body forging technique to Charlotte, and then we'll pick up a couple of weapons and head back!"

"Sure thing, Elijah!"

Daisy happily walked over to Charlotte. In the past, she had always taught herself, but today she finally had the opportunity to teach someone else!

"Hmm, the Golden Elephant Body Forging Technique?"

Charlotte's expression was slightly strange.

"Yes! Elijah taught us this. The effect is amazing. My strength has improved significantly from practicing this!"

After Daisy finished speaking, she walked to the open space and began to demonstrate.

As Daisy's movements unfolded, the expression on Charlotte's face became even stranger.

Even Elijah felt a bit uncomfortable watching.

"Is there a problem?"

"No... well, yes, there's one. Where did you learn this body forging technique?"

Charlotte stared at Elijah.

"Uh... that's classified."

Charlotte remained noncommittal.

After Daisy finished her set of movements, she skipped over to Charlotte.

"How was it, did Charlotte learn it?"

"Of course!"

Charlotte walked to where Daisy had been standing just now, closed her eyes, and recalled for a moment. After a while, she moved!

Unlike Elijah and Daisy, Charlotte's movements were graceful and elegant, flowing like a dragon.

She completed the entire set smoothly, without any pause, as if it were effortless.

"Hey? Hey? Hey~"

Daisy exclaimed, feeling incredulous and hard to comprehend!

It's not just about learning anymore, it's simply astonishing! It's like the student surpassing the master!

Moreover, some of the details in the movements are different from what Elijah taught, but they blend seamlessly, giving the feeling that it should be this way in the first place.

Elijah is dumbfounded at this moment! Nôv(el)B\\jnn

"Why does this name sound so familiar?"

"Charlotte!"

And introspection... it could also be considered a form of extrasensory perception!

It all fits perfectly!

The founder of the Golden Elephant Body Forging Technique—Charlotte, is Charlotte...

Elijah always thought it was a man, so he didn't think along these lines.

At the same time, he curses the person who sold him the forging technique; they didn't even teach it correctly... It's like selling pirated goods back to the manufacturer!

How embarrassing!

"How did I do in learning this?" Charlotte asked with a smirk.

"Charlotte, did you learn this before?" Daisy finally caught on. She couldn't believe someone could reach this level just by watching once.

Even though Charlotte is a dance teacher who has specifically practiced martial arts and is a martial arts enthusiast, she loves researching these things the most!

"That's right. I learned it from an ancient book, but it wasn't called the Golden Elephant Body Forging Technique; it was just called body forging. It's said that when mastered, it gives the strength of an elephant or a tiger."

"Not self-created?" Elijah was surprised.

It seems like the whole story, including the name, was just a bluff!

"Did the ancient book mention anything else?" Elijah's mind was intrigued.

"Hmph! No comment!" Charlotte retorted.

Elijah rubbed his nose.

Women, they hold grudges too much!

"Since you also learned body forging, didn't you see what comes after? Or did you learn from somewhere else..." Charlotte squinted, staring at Elijah intently.

"I only saw this body forging technique!" Elijah calmly replied.

"Alright! I've practiced this body forging technique before, it's just for physical fitness. But I didn't expect it to have such effects now... The content behind it is somewhat mysterious; I need to experiment with it and let you know if I find any results!" Charlotte said.

Elijah chose to believe her and didn't inquire further.

"It's getting late today. Let's pick a couple of weapons and head back. We'll come again tomorrow, and by then, I'll bring some supplies for you!"

"Alright!" Charlotte agreed, as she was also planning to practice body forging alone.

The three of them walked to the weapon rack, and Elijah already had his eye on something; he picked up a long spear made entirely of metal.

"Do you know spear techniques?" Charlotte asked.

"Do you need any fancy techniques for poking zombies? It's not like I'm fighting people! Besides, you're here; you can teach me later!" Elijah chuckled. He just wanted something handy.

In his previous life, he used a crowbar to poke zombies, so it should be similar... right? And using a spear is much cooler!

If only he had a horse...

"Alright, the spear you're holding is actually decorative. It's made entirely of special steel, solid and heavy. It's too heavy to wield, but it suits you well now!" Charlotte explained.

Elijah felt the weight; it was probably dozens of pounds, indeed very heavy, but with his current strength, it was manageable.

Looking at the spearhead, it was rhomboid in shape, with a high spine, thin blade, and a sharp tip, integrated with the spear shaft.

Poking zombies with this must be very efficient.

The more he looked, the more he liked it!

"I'll take this one!"

Then he glanced at the weapon rack again, hesitated for a moment, and said, "Can I pick another close-range weapon?"

Although the sheep's head hammer was useful, there are better options here!

"Sure, these weapons are meant for people to use. It's just that there wasn't an opportunity before. Now that they can shine in your hands, I'm also delighted!" Charlotte said.

In that case, Elijah wasn't polite either. He turned around and picked up two short-hafted hammers from another weapon rack!

"This is the lying melon short-hafted hammer, also cast entirely of metal. In ancient times, it was specifically used to break heavy armor!" Charlotte explained.

Elijah had seen it in movies, it seemed to be called the golden gourd warrior wearing it.

Now holding it in his hands, it was quite heavy; the two hammers combined were not inferior to that long spear!

"I've made my choice! Daisy, what weapon do you want to use?"

Daisy hesitated for a moment. She originally wanted to use an axe, but it was too heavy!

Soon, her eyes lit up!

"Just use this!"
