Chapter 84.3: Cannon Fodder In The Post-Apocalyptic World (13)
Even though Gu Mingyue’s promise lacked conviction in the ears of the men, Xi Wei couldn’t help but feel a sense of reassurance. Her clear and sincere eyes made him believe in her unconditionally, without any reason or explanation.
The sixth sense of the protagonists was often strong.
An YiZe and Gao Jing’s words and actions angered most of the men in the rest station. They walked with great momentum towards the members of the surviving team, who were quickly surrounded. The leader raised his hand to signal his own men to be quiet and spoke to Liu RuiCheng in a confirming tone, “It seems that the deal is off…”
Liu RuiCheng extinguished his cigarette bud with two fingers, his movements calm and unhurried, and said with a suave smile, “Definitely not possible.”
“Well, then there’s no other way. I’ve already given you a chance,” the leader said, opening his eye wide and smiling terrifyingly. “Your men and belongings will all stay here today.”
The leader’s initial plan was to lure the surviving team into the rest station, where their bus supplies and women would have to be handed over and distributed. He always welcomed young people with strength. However, to dare to act so arrogantly on their turf, the other side clearly had thick skulls. Should they say that young people are too impulsive and arrogant, or should they thank them for choosing to be turned into meat stew served on the dining table?
The survivors passing through this highway, those who were smarter, had willingly handed over their supplies and personal belongings when the leader proposed joining the rest station. As for the rest who refused and clashed with them in the rest station, they were eventually sent to the kitchen, and any valuable things they were distributed as spoils of war.
“Struggle as much as you can, young people,” the leader said. After uttering these words, the entire restaurant suddenly became empty. Except for the members of the surviving team, everyone else disappeared.
“!”
“What’s going on?” The members of the surviving team entered a state of high alertness. Their gazes quickly exchanged, but no one could explain what had happened in the blink of an eye.
A half-meter-wide lightning bolt suddenly struck down from the ceiling of the restaurant. The members of the surviving team quickly dodged, leaving a deep hole in the ground. After the lightning, raging flames engulfed everything. If it weren’t for Jing Yao’s protective barrier, the tongues of fire would have instantly swallowed everyone present.
Gao Jing placed his hand on the ground and a wall of earth immediately rose up, blocking the incoming flames from all sides. Jiang Lei then used his fire-based ability to counter the opponent’s ability with fire, suppressing and extinguishing the flames in the process.
Just as the first wave of attacks passed, they immediately faced a second. All the metal objects in the restaurant were suspended in the air and transformed into hundreds of sharp arrows, shooting towards the members of the surviving team. An YiZe released his water-based ability to create a large ice shield, while Su ShaoYuan used his whirlwind blades to cut down nearly half of the arrows. The remaining arrows that were not destroyed were instantly engulfed in crackling electrical currents. Liu RuiCheng almost simultaneously used thick vines to deflect the arrows off their course. The few remaining arrows, carrying electric currents, pierced through the ice shield, causing it to shatter into steam.
Bai JunFei’s healing ability and Jing Yao’s barrier ability were both non-combat and support abilities. Bai JunFei provided support by using his ability to alleviate and replenish the energy of his teammates, while Jing Yao’s barrier primarily protected the three of them, including Xi Wei. If he could lock onto their opponent, his reverse barrier technique could be used to restrict their movements. However, as they were facing an invisible opponent at the moment, he could only fulfil his duty of protecting his teammates.
Damn it! What’s going on? How could the opponent disappear in an instant and still continue with their relentless attacks? We have four members who are unable to engage in long-range combat, and the situation is becoming quite tricky.
Wait a minute! Four people… Bai JunFei, Xi Wei, himself and Gu MingYue!
Where is Gu MingYue?! Jing Yao quickly began searching for Gu Mingyue’s presence in the restaurant, but without anyone noticing, she had also disappeared without a trace…
In fact, Gu MingYue was still in the restaurant.
At this moment, what Gu MingYue saw was completely different from the others. Jing Yao and the others were like souls drawn into another world as soon as the leader’s words fell. They stood motionless still like statues, and the only indication of the passing time was the rise and fall of their breathing while their expressions and movements froze at the moment the leader finished speaking.
Illusion magic, the leader possessed illusion magic!
Gu MingYue understood the situation immediately in her heart. The metal-based, electricity-based, and fire-based ability users on the opponent’s side were launching continuous attacks on the survivor group. If it weren’t for the barrier that Jing Yao set up before being trapped in the illusion, the members of the survivor team would have been completely defenceless. While they may have used their abilities to resist within the illusory world, but in the real world, they would not be able to materialize their abilities to block the incoming attacks!
It was unknown how many ability users have died under this illusion magic. Without Jing Yao, they would be no different from lambs awaiting slaughter.
However, the illusion magic had no effect on Gu MingYue. Her body was neither zombie-like nor human-like. Based on current scientific speculation, if zombies were a form of human evolution, then she would be the ultimate form of evolution, completely transcending the typical concept of complete evolution. However, her abilities were somewhat lacklustre.
Well, maybe not entirely lacklustre, but rather completely unenviable… Her spatial abilities were obtained through her own reward points… And the attribute that requires her to absorb semen in order to use it was truly a pitfall. Without the energy from men’s semen, she would be entirely motionless while awaiting a slow decay process that could last for hundreds of thousands of years.
