On the way back, Xavier couldn't resist his curiosity and asked Gabriel, "Gabriel, what does it feel like to awaken your abilities?" Seeing Emily also looking at him curiously, Gabriel pondered for a moment.
"Well... It's like suddenly having an extra pair of eyes, it feels abrupt but instinctively usable..."
"Ah, I see... When will I awaken too?" Xavier asked, envious.
"Why the rush? But I reckon it'll be soon. Once Emily awakens, you'll probably be next!" Gabriel replied. Emily's face lit up with excitement.
"Thanks for looking out for me, Gabriel!"
"Don't mention it, we're family, and everything's been arranged by brother-in-law long ago!" Gabriel said with a proud expression.
"Emily, now that I've awakened too, tonight you'll see just how powerful I've become!" Emily's eyes gleamed with a hint of seduction.
"Alright, Gabriel!"
As they talked, the tour bus returned to the riverside service area.
By now, the service area was no longer dark, illuminated by several bright lights.
Fiona had Grace bring electricity from part of the island, originally supplied by municipal power via a line over the bridge to address potential power shortages on the island.
After deciding to store some supplies at the riverside service area, Fiona had Grace modify the circuit to reverse the flow of electricity from the island.
This was a temporary measure; later, Fiona planned to install solar panels at the service area to ensure normal nighttime illumination.
As the apocalypse continued, with more active survivors, Fiona planned to develop the service area into a trading hub for the island.
Then there would be a need to re-plan the power supply and security facilities here!
When unloading, Fiona outlined the future plans to Gabriel, who was excited about them.
Fiona also mentioned the possibility of Gabriel managing the trading hub in the future. He had yet to awaken, so it was not certain.
This was a major reason why Gabriel disregarded risks to awaken.
Now that he had successfully awakened, he believed he was well-positioned, thanks to his connections and abilities.
It was no wonder he occasionally wore a smug expression.
The trio returned to the dormitory, and Gabriel, ignoring Xavier, hurried into his room with Emily. He couldn't wait to demonstrate his newfound strength after awakening!
Seeing this, Xavier abandoned any further attempts at conversation and returned to his own room.
Before long, he could faintly hear Emily's voice from outside.
Typically, regular zombies require five corpse cores over two to three days to awaken, so it was reasonable that fish might take longer than zombies.
Realizing this, Elijah decided not to continue observing and would check again tomorrow. He left the hotel, preparing to return to the villa.
He hadn't forgotten Fiona's teasing earlier. Tonight, he was determined to show her who's boss!
Elijah entered Fiona's room with familiarity. Fiona, draped in a silk camisole nightgown, lounged lazily against the headboard, engrossed in her phone. Upon seeing Elijah, she chuckled softly, "Oh, if you had come a bit earlier, you could have intercepted Hannah. What a shame!"
Elijah felt a rush in his heart, recalling the wonderful night with Grace and Katherine. If only he could have Fiona and Hannah together...
"Ah..." He muttered, this mischievous girl! Just a few words stirred his desire.
Without a word, Elijah pounced on her.
"You're quite naughty today. I must discipline you properly!" Elijah declared, reaching out his hand.
"Hmm?" Fiona, to his surprise, wore nothing under her camisole nightgown!
She was ready to welcome him long before he arrived.
At that moment, Fiona wrapped her arms around his neck, her breath sweet and inviting.
"Enjoyed yourself with Katherine and Grace yesterday, didn't you? How about today with me and Hannah?" she teased.
Unable to resist any longer, Elijah replied, "I'll conquer you first, you little enchantress!"
...
The 16th day after doomsday!
In the early morning, Elijah awoke from deep slumber! Today, similar to yesterday morning, he found himself flanked by two ravishing beauties. Only today, it was Fiona and Hannah.
Last night, Elijah had swiftly subdued Fiona, the novice, who soon apologized and surrendered.
Yet, being both inexperienced and playful, once she regained her spirits, she goaded Elijah into playing with Hannah as well.
She whispered to him that she had spoken to Hannah, arranging for him to visit her in the evening and not to lock the door.
Ultimately persuaded, Elijah carried Fiona and, bouncing along the way, arrived at Hannah's room. Hannah was already asleep, but the two woke her up with their antics!
To Elijah's surprise, Fiona was even more enthusiastic than he was, enjoying teasing Hannah. She even mentioned she had wanted to play this game for a while!
With the two of them teaming up, Hannah was caught off guard and retreated step by step, utterly defeated... to Fiona's astonishment! She never expected Hannah to be like this!
