Chapter 149 Cooperation

Just as I was about to speak to him, I saw him raise his hands, and a beam of light suddenly burst forth from his palms.

"Brother Zhou! I'm so sorry!"

Qin Feng grinned maliciously, his beam of light focused on Mu Yanzhou's head. "Actually, my ability is 'stealing'! Besides the fire-based ability you've seen, I'm also a water-based and wind-based ability user. Today, your light-based ability is mine too! With it, I will rule this apocalypse!"

The beam of light gradually turned into a vortex, instantly suppressing Mu Yanzhou and rendering him unable to move.

Mu Yanzhou's pupils suddenly contracted!

He never imagined that his trusted confidant, who had risked his life for him, would be such a venomous snake in disguise.

Intense anger and the instinct for survival instantly squeezed out the last bit of potential from his body!

"You, don't even think about it!"

Mu Yanzhou let out a low growl like a wild beast, and the originally faint light suddenly became blazing brightly as if in a final burst of energy.

He seemed to transform into a human-shaped sun, bursting forth with dazzling light.

boom!

Like a small flashbang exploding in a narrow alley.

The vortex that was devouring the light was violently shaken by the violent light energy and almost collapsed!

Qin Feng and his only remaining teammate were caught off guard and were struck hard in the eyes by the blinding burst of light. They screamed and flew backward, crashing heavily into the rubble, temporarily losing their sight and mobility.

The bright light lasted for less than a second before quickly going out.

As the light faded, Qin Feng struggled to his feet, his eyes stinging and watering, his vision blurred.

But he still tried hard to find the moving figure in his field of vision.

Upon seeing it, he tried to follow it, but after turning a corner, the moving figure vanished without a trace.

After staring at the blurry figure for two minutes, the vision finally gradually returned.

But Mu Yanzhou was nowhere to be seen.

"Where are they? Where are they?!"

Qin Feng's eyes were bloodshot. If he lost this opportunity, once Mu Yanzhou grew up, not only would he not get the light-based ability, but Mu Yanzhou would also become a sword hanging over his head.

"He's already at his limit, and his powers are exhausted and he's seriously injured! He can't have gone far, search him!" he roared at his equally disheveled accomplice.

From her fifth-floor balcony, which had been turned into a clothes rack, Josie witnessed the thrilling betrayal and counterattack below!

Steal superpowers!

That man actually possessed such heaven-defying and evil abilities.

Josie's heart sank to the bottom.

In the apocalypse, might makes right.

If such a shameless and ambitious person were to obtain the legendary Light Element ability, which is practically "immortal"... the consequences would be unimaginable!

He would absolutely become a huge threat to all survivor bases.

Given his style of doing things, the possibility of him becoming your enemy is almost 100%!

We can't let him succeed!

The thought flashed through Josie's mind like lightning.

Mu Yanzhou must not die, and even less can he fall into Qin Feng's hands.

This is not only out of regret for the strong, but also out of advance planning for one's own future living environment.

The opportunity was fleeting, and Qin Feng and his accomplices began frantically searching the alley like headless flies, but they had not yet found the building.

Josie no longer hesitated.

The clothes rack vanished instantly, falling to the ground floor.

Without pausing, the slender figure rushed rapidly in the direction where Mu Yanzhou had last disappeared when the intense light burst forth.

Mu Yanzhou is already at his limit and can't run far.

Soon, she found Mu Yanzhou curled up in a very hidden corner piled with clutter at the bottom of the stairs on the first floor.

He leaned against the cold wall, his breathing shallow and rapid. He was covered in blood, his face was frighteningly pale, and he barely had the strength to lift his eyelids.

Upon hearing footsteps, he almost instinctively gathered the last glimmer of light at his fingertips, his eyes wary and fierce, like a lone wolf on the verge of death.

"Don't be nervous, I'm here to help you," Josie said quickly as she crouched down, while listening alertly to the sounds outside.

Qin Feng's frantic roar grew closer and closer!

"help me?"

Mu Yanzhou recognized her at a glance as the woman from the mall that night, but he remained wary.

“Because I feel that the person who steals your abilities will pose a huge threat to me in the future,” Josie said quickly, getting straight to the point, “so I don’t want him to get your abilities. Is that reason enough for you to believe me?”

A glimmer of light flashed in Mu Yanzhou's gloomy eyes.

"Since you know his special ability is to steal, aren't you afraid?"

Mu Yanzhou looked at her and felt that she probably couldn't escape.

“I also have special abilities. Since I offered to help you, I naturally have my ways. Now you just need to take off your clothes and give them to me.”

Ultimately, the will to survive prevailed over everything.

They didn't have much time to talk, and he raised his hand to start taking off his blood-stained down jacket.

Josie immediately stepped forward to help and quickly peeled the jacket off him.

The strong smell of blood and the aura of Mu Yanzhou emanated from the coat.

Josie quickly put on the oversized windbreaker.

The clothes were too big for her, so she immediately grabbed a few tattered, thick clothes from the pile of discarded clothes next to her and stuffed them inside to pad her shoulders and fill her body, trying to make herself look more robust.

She even grabbed a handful of dirt from the ground and smeared it haphazardly on her face and exposed hair to conceal her feminine features.

"You stay in this building and try to conceal your presence. I'll go and lure them away."

After quickly giving his instructions, Josie pulled down the hood of his windbreaker, covering most of his face, leaving only a blurry outline of his jawline.

She took a deep breath and rushed out the back door.

"Over there! Chase them!"

Qin Feng's blurry vision caught a glimpse of a figure in a familiar windbreaker rushing out from behind the building and disappearing around the corner in the blink of an eye. He immediately roared and led his men to chase after it.

Josie pushed her speed to the limit. Instead of running in a straight line, she used the complex terrain of the ruins to her advantage. Each time she appeared around a corner, her pursuers only caught a blurry glimpse of her back in Mu Yanzhou's coat.

She deliberately imitated Mu Yanzhou's staggering gait after his serious injury, but at the crucial turning point, she burst forth with a speed that did not belong to someone who was seriously injured!

"He can't run fast! Chase him!"

"Don't let him get away!"

"Block the intersection ahead!"

Qin Feng and his accomplices were driven to distraction by the elusive figure, their minds clouded by anger and greed, and they had no doubt about the figure's "authenticity."

Like hounds being led by the nose, they were cleverly led by Josie to wander in circles through the ruins, getting further and further away from the building where Mu Yanzhou was hiding.

After leading them several kilometers away and confirming that the other party could not return in a short time, Josie used a pile of collapsed billboards as cover at a complicated intersection and instantly transformed.

This time, she became an inconspicuous block of cement embedded in the ruins.

She held her breath and waited quietly for the two men to catch up.
