Elijah, concerned about being discovered, didn't get on the vehicle but instead followed behind on foot.
Fortunately, the vehicle wasn't moving fast, and Elijah's superhuman physique allowed him to easily keep pace.
However, the speed of the stealth zombies was slower, sometimes forcing Elijah to grab one and run a few steps.
After covering approximately seven to eight kilometers, Elijah arrived with the convoy at a hotel near the river.
"It looks like their headquarters!"
Elijah remarked as he watched the truck enter the underground parking of the hotel, deciding not to rush in but to pause and survey the surroundings.
It was a luxurious seven-story hotel, somewhat reminiscent of Azure Isle where Elijah had been.
However, unlike their coastal location, this one was by the river.
"They've chosen their spot well; at least they won't worry about water sources here!"
Elijah mused. He observed nearby buildings—residential areas, shops, offices, malls—all cleared of useful supplies and marked with dark, bloody stains, though few zombies were visible.
At both the main entrance and the underground parking of the luxurious hotel, guards were posted.
Elijah could have infiltrated using his abilities, but with zombies and Nora in tow, it wasn't convenient.
He decided to first settle Lillian and the others nearby, allowing him to use his powers and focus without worries.
With his plan set, Elijah found a secluded spot nearby and, after a brief lunch, returned to where Lillian and the others were hiding.
He then set off officially with a group of zombies and Abigail Lillian.
To avoid encountering YLK group members, Elijah chose a route far from their supply lines, resulting in encountering many zombies along the way.
Thankfully, with his shielding and stealth abilities and a group of second-tier zombies to deter threats, they safely reached Elijah's chosen hidden location by mid-afternoon.
Next, Elijah familiarized Abigail and the stealth zombies with the area, ensuring they understood the terrain.
Once ready, he reassured Lillian and Nora before boldly heading towards the YLK group's gathering place.
Of course, Elijah didn't carry his bright silver spear this time, knowing it would draw attention.
He hadn't even brought a short hammer and had intentionally dressed in dirty clothes. He had grabbed a fire axe, aiming to appear less conspicuous.
Sure enough, on both sides, he spotted two individuals emitting a faint red glow, apparently armed and subtly aiming at him.
"Invisible power users? Tsk tsk, with the two outside, that makes four suspected awakened guarding just the entrance..."
Elijah remained composed outwardly, but inwardly, he grew increasingly curious. What secrets did this YLK Group hide? They guarded their premises so tightly, and had so many ability users!
Just then, a woman spotted Elijah and immediately approached him.
"Hello, I'm Wendy. Welcome to join YLK Group. May I know your name?" Wendy said, extending her hand to Elijah.
"Oh, hi, hello!" Elijah feigned surprise and delight, warmly shaking her hand. "I'm Quentin. Wendy, sister, you're really beautiful!"
Being away from home, he naturally couldn't use his real name, so he borrowed Quentin's alias. Elijah wasn't just flattering; Wendy did look quite attractive, though a bit older, her charm was still evident.
Of course, compared to Jasmine or Lillian, she fell short by far.
But the key point was, Wendy was bold in her attire!
She wore only a white camisole top that barely covered her chest, leaving her midriff exposed.
And indeed, there was nothing inside that white camisole—no bra, no padding! Her contours were clearly visible!
Her lower half was equally provocative, with an extremely short pleated mini-skirt that barely covered her buttocks. Elijah suspected there might be nothing underneath it as well.
As a man, faced with such a sight, Elijah naturally reacted.
His gaze involuntarily scanning Wendy up and down, his face showing an appreciative grin.
Wendy didn't seem to mind Elijah's gaze, gently withdrawing her hand from his grasp.
"Since you called me sister and I'm a few years older, let's go with Little Quentin!" Wendy chuckled lightly, then continued, "Let me introduce you to our place!"
With a flick of her hair, Wendy couldn't help but reveal a hint of allure.
"Sure, sure!" Elijah followed behind Wendy, his gaze lingering admiringly on her.
"You've heard of us already. Our boss is the manager of YLK Group. After the zombie virus outbreak, he led us in constant battles, eventually taking over this place and clearing out nearby zombies, securing a safe zone!"
"Our boss is really amazing! What's his name? I'd love to meet him in person!" Elijah admired.
"Hehe, to meet the boss, you'll have to become an awakened first!" Wendy chuckled lightly.
