Chapter 21: Cosplay

"Our current location is the old town center of Neoville City, about 30 kilometers away from our destination. We'll need to cross through half of the old town and most of the coastal area. Normally, it might not seem far, just half an hour's drive, but it's different now. Not to mention how many zombies are outside, the virus outbreak occurred during rush hour, so the road conditions definitely won't be ideal," Elijah explained in the living room, pulling out a map he got from the backpack on the third floor to show Daisy and Bella.

"So, we need to explore where we can go, where we can't, and where there are more zombies... We need to plan out a suitable route in advance," Elijah paused, looking at Bella.

Bella pursed her lips, already guessing what he was going to say.

"Because of Daisy's ability, this plan can be implemented. My idea is that Daisy and I will set out in the evening, using her ability to conceal ourselves and avoid zombies while exploring the roads. Once we've mapped out the route, we'll come back, find a vehicle, load up supplies, and head straight there."

"Doesn't that mean leaving Bella alone at home?"

"Yes, the journey is too dangerous for her alone. Only after we've mapped out the route can we ensure maximum safety," Elijah replied.

Bella listened, her gaze toward Elijah filled with tenderness and gratitude.

She understood that if it weren't for her holding them back, Elijah and Daisy could have explored all the way without returning.

Now, to make another round trip for her sake added a lot of danger.

"It's okay, go ahead. I'll wait for you to come back!" Bella said.

"Bella..."

"Woof woof!"

"You two don't need to be like this, we're not leaving right away!" Elijah said helplessly as even the dog joined in the melodrama.

"So when do you plan to set off?"

"The day after tomorrow night..." Elijah thought for a moment. "Before setting off for exploration, we still need to make some preparations!"

"First, Daisy needs to learn the Golden Elephant Body Forging Technique to enhance her strength. Second, I also need to look around nearby for some suitable weapons."

"What are we waiting for then? Teach me quickly!"

Daisy couldn't wait.

"You go over the first two sets of movements again. I'll go change the dining table!" Elijah said.

"Alright! Bella, let's practice together!"

...

Elijah threw the broken dining table into an empty room on the fourth floor, then went to Daisy's room to check on the zombie Abigail.

He was curious about what outfit Daisy had dressed her in.

As he entered Daisy's room, he was immediately stunned by Abigail's appearance!

Her originally glossy black hair had been transformed into short white hair, with a black headband in the center.

She wore a set of black gothic-style dress, with hollow patterns at the collarbone, revealing some snow-white skin.

A portion of the fabric was cut out at the lower part of the collarbone, exposing a small part of her chest.

Further down, the skirt was divided into several pieces, and through the gaps, one could vaguely see her fair thighs.

She wore a pair of black knee-high leather boots on her feet, with a small section of black stockings peeking out from under the hem of the dress.

"I'll go help with cooking. You continue practicing!"

Elijah instructed Daisy and also walked into the kitchen.

Daisy wrinkled her nose and hummed softly.

They thought she hadn't seen, but in fact, Daisy was fully aware of Elijah's little actions.

"To dare to fool around in front of your legitimate girlfriend... what a pair of scumbags!"

"Uh~ My girlfriend status seems to be just a casual remark... Whatever, as long as there's food!"

Daisy had never experienced luxury since childhood, but she was never troubled by weight loss either.

She had the kind of physique that wouldn't gain weight no matter how much she ate.

She had never experienced the feeling of hunger.

However, in the days since the virus outbreak, she had been starving, especially after her superpower awakened, the sudden hunger almost made her devour the table.

Luckily, there was still some food at home at the time, which helped her recover.

But it also meant that she had been hungry for the past few days, with only a little bit of snacks left that she dared not finish in one go.

She had to save them, feeling hungry every day, which made her develop an obsession with food.

"I just want to have a meal and see my parents... I don't care about these two dog men and women!"

She said so, but Daisy felt somewhat uncomfortable in her heart and also a little curious.

"Are they really cooking? Are they doing something bad behind my back?"

Her heart felt ticklish, as if scratched by a cat.

Unable to resist, Daisy quietly approached the kitchen.

She didn't dare to get too close, afraid of being discovered by the two.

She vaguely heard voices from inside.

"Why... why are you here?"

"I'm here to help you!"

The first two sentences sounded normal, but then Bella exclaimed.

"Oh! Daisy's outside!"

"It's okay, she's totally immersed in practicing and can't see us!"

What's it got to do with me?

Daisy was puzzled, but there was no more sound afterwards, leaving her confused. They said I couldn't see?

Then I'll just have to look!

Daisy cautiously peeked inside, taking a glance from a distance.
