Chapter 46: Intelligence

Elijah helped the man out, and once they were under the sunlight, they could clearly see his appearance.

It seemed like he hadn't seen sunlight in days, as his complexion was somewhat pale. He didn't look very old, probably just graduated from college not too long ago.

His hair was messy, and he looked tired, wearing a dirty and wrinkled suit. He emitted a foul smell all over him.

Facing Elijah, he sobbed and said, "Officer, you've finally come to rescue me! Those three villains outside, did you catch them? They're illegally detaining me! They've kept me locked up for a whole 5 days!"

"Hold on a second!" Daisy, curious, interrupted, "I don't see a watch on you, and it's pitch black inside, how do you know it's been 5 days?"

"Um... (⊙o⊙)...," the man's emotions were interrupted, and he couldn't recover for a moment. Eventually, he weakly replied, "Officer, maybe it's been 6 days! But that's not the point! The point is, I've been illegally detained!"

"Why do you keep calling us Officers? It's kind of awkward!" Daisy interrupted again. "We're not police officers..."

At this point, the man realized, even though the two people in front of him were wearing bulletproof vests, they didn't have badges, and their demeanor didn't resemble police officers.

Especially the girl, who was young, pretty, and vibrant. She looked more like a college student than an officer.

"We're not," Daisy responded. "You're Gabriel, right?" Elijah couldn't bear to watch the two idiots continue chatting, not knowing when they would get to the point.

"Yeah, how do you know my name?" Gabriel's head became even more confused.

"That's not important! Listen to me now. When we arrived, we saw three people heading towards Azure Isle. As they left, we vaguely heard them say they could clean up the zombies on the bridge today. Once they capture Fiona, they'll have food, drinks, and fun! Who is this Fiona?"

"Really? Did they really say that?" Gabriel became excited, struggling to stand up and wanting to run towards the small island. Daisy grabbed him.

"Don't grab me, I need to stop them!"

Gabriel tried to break free.

Nothing happened! He turned his head and confirmed that it was the seemingly fragile girl holding onto him.

He tried to break free again, but still couldn't move!

"Is she really this strong, or am I too weak?" Gabriel wondered.

"Humph, you can't even break free from my grasp, and you want to stop people?" Daisy sneered. "I... I haven't eaten properly for many days, I have no strength!" Gabriel tried to explain.

How come now, within a few days, everyone he met seemed to have awakened abilities?

Daisy, Charlotte, and now possibly another person.

"Emily mentioned it, but I wasn't sure. Later, a guy named Isaac, who wanted to recruit me to deal with people on the island, showed me his ability."

"Isaac is the one who locked you up here, right? I guess he also awakened his ability."

Elijah had been curious when eavesdropping. Isaac showed no fear of zombies; turns out, he had abilities and was quite confident!

"What ability?" Elijah asked. It's always good to know more about your enemies before dealing with them.

"His skin is very tough, like cowhide, you can't even cut it with a knife!"

A defensive ability?

No wonder!

First-tier zombies mainly rely on their claws and teeth for attacks.

If his skin is as tough as cowhide, he naturally wouldn't fear first-tier zombies, it'd be like scratching an itch.

As long as he doesn't encounter a large horde of zombies or mutated zombies, his ability could be considered invincible in the early stages.

However, Elijah looked at the spear in his hand and the pistol at his waist, chuckling. Isn't this a coincidence?

Both of his weapons would easily deal with his cowhide-like skin.

Then he thought, could the Fun Haven Entertainment City from his previous life have been built by this person?

Even if it wasn't, it must be related somehow.

"If your sister is the island owner, why do they still want to recruit you to deal with her?" Daisy was puzzled.

"Um... they don't know! They think I'm really one of my sister's security personnel!"

"I knew it! How could security personnel be so weak?" Daisy looked as if her suspicions were confirmed.
