Chapter 148 Light-Based Ability User
"Ah!" The screams rang out almost simultaneously.
One team member tried to defend himself with an earthen wall, but the ice arrow easily pierced through the wall and pierced his shoulder, instantly freezing half of his body stiff.
Another team member was extremely fast, but his dodge route was still predicted. His thigh was pierced by an ice arrow, and the blood was frozen before it could flow out.
Another person was grazed on the arm by an ice arrow, and their entire arm was instantly covered with a thick layer of frost, causing them to lose sensation.
In just one exchange, the three Tier 3 ability users instantly lost most of their fighting power!
"Find cover! Quickly!" Mu Yanzhou roared, pushing forward with both hands. A soft yet resilient light shield instantly opened up, blocking the ice arrows aimed at the other people.
The light shield vibrated violently, and Mu Yanzhou's face turned pale, clearly under immense pressure.
"Injured players, harass from a distance! Uninjured players, coordinate with me, don't get close!" He quickly adjusted his tactics.
The red-dressed zombie seemed a little impatient with not being able to kill all its prey instantly, letting out a low growl from its throat, like ice shattering.
It no longer lingered at the alley entrance, but began to step into the alley step by step.
It seemed to be surrounded by an invisible chill, and wherever it passed, the ground quickly condensed into white frost.
Any fireballs, wind blades, or earth spikes that fly towards it will be easily blocked and shattered by its thin yet indestructible arc-shaped ice shield when it gets within about half a meter of its body!
Josie was horrified by what she saw, and at the same time felt extremely uneasy about her own situation.
Shapeshifting abilities are not a panacea.
She had been exposed by a high-level zombie with keen senses before. Even if it was just a mental zombie, what if a high-level zombie could also detect it?
The zombie, having undergone four evolutions, was getting closer and closer to her.
We can't stay here any longer; we must take advantage of the chaos and escape this death trap!
"That won't work, its ice shield defense is too strong!" Mu Yanzhou gasped, a resolute glint in his eyes. "I'll circle around to its back and attack, drawing it to turn around! All of you, the instant I strike, unleash your strongest attacks. This is our only chance!"
Before he finished speaking, his body had already transformed into a blurry blur of light and shadow, using the collapsed walls and abandoned vehicles as cover, and in an extremely risky manner, he maneuvered to the side and rear of the zombies!
Now!
With a thought, Josie caused the shattered bricks to vanish instantly.
Almost simultaneously, a slender figure darted out silently like a raccoon dog, rushing into the entrance of the dilapidated residential building next door without the slightest hesitation.
The whole process was incredibly fast, and since everyone's attention was focused on the zombies and Mu Yanzhou, no one noticed.
She rushed up to the fifth floor in one breath, her heart pounding.
A quick scan revealed that the security bars on one household's balcony were still intact, with several pieces of clothing, long since weathered into strips of cloth, hanging on them.
She transformed again without hesitation.
This time, she became an ordinary, rusty metal clothes rack, mixed in with those few tattered strips of cloth.
From this height and angle, one can have a perfect view of the devastating battlefield below.
In just a short while, the situation on the battlefield has taken a dramatic turn for the worse!
Mu Yanzhou successfully circled around to the rear, and the giant ball of light that had been charging up for a long time slammed into the back of the red-dressed zombie.
The violent light blasted the zombie, causing it to stumble. The back of its dress was torn, revealing the bluish-gray, charred skin beneath, and even the broken vertebrae could be seen!
However, this attack, which was enough to instantly kill a level 3 zombie, only caused some damage to this monster that had evolved four times.
It was completely enraged, letting out a shrill and ear-piercing shriek from its throat. It turned around abruptly, completely ignoring the various supernatural attacks coming from the front, and its gray-white pupils were locked on Mu Yanzhou!
Sizzle!
More dense, thicker, and radiating absolute zero cold air than before, ice arrows rained down on Mu Yanzhou like a storm.
Mu Yanzhou moved with lightning speed, frequently unleashing light shields, but the power of the ice arrows was too terrifying. The light shields shattered continuously, and deep, bone-revealing frost wounds began to appear on his body.
The blood froze as soon as it gushed out.
He gritted his teeth, dodging and blocking while frantically healing himself with his light-based abilities.
With each healing, his radiance dimmed a little, and his face paled a little more.
As for his teammates, under the zombies' frenzied counterattack, two more were pierced by ice arrows or frozen into ice sculptures, completely losing their lives!
Josie's palms were sweating as she watched.
A light-elemental ability user, the legendary controller of life!
Only by seeing it with my own eyes could I truly appreciate the power and preciousness of this superpower.
While the idea of bringing someone back from the dead might be an exaggeration, this terrifying ability to continuously heal itself is practically the ultimate guarantee for survival in the apocalypse.
It would be such a pity if such a strategic figure were to perish here!
But with her mere second-tier shapeshifting ability, charging down would be suicide.
Just as she hesitated whether she should sneak away while the zombies were completely distracted by Mu Yanzhou, the battle below finally entered its final, brutal phase.
After narrowly dodging several ice arrows once again, Mu Yanzhou seemed to have exhausted his last bit of strength, and the light sphere he released became only the size of a fist, with a faint glow.
The red-dressed zombie's arm was twisted into a pretzel shape by a team member who had risked his life to self-destruct, and hung down at his side.
But it didn't care at all, and its remaining arm continued to frantically condense ice arrows.
Finally, with the two remaining teammates risking their lives to hold the team back, Mu Yanzhou seized the fleeting opportunity!
He compressed the remaining light energy in his body, along with the power of burning his life essence, into a condensed, finger-thick beam of blazing white light, which, like a divine punishment spear, precisely pierced the red-skirted zombie's forehead.
Pfft!
The zombie's movements came to an abrupt halt.
The grayish-white light in its eyes quickly dimmed, its body swayed, and it collapsed to the ground with a thud!
In the center of that hard skull, there was a charred hole.
it's over!
The two remaining team members collapsed to the ground, exhausted and panting heavily.
Mu Yanzhou felt as if all his bones had been removed. He staggered a few steps, leaned against the cold wall, and slowly slid to the ground.
His face was ashen, his chest heaving violently, as if he didn't even have the strength to lift a finger. His healing abilities had also temporarily stalled due to overexertion, and his wounds were gaping open in a gruesome manner.
"Qin...Qin Feng," Mu Yanzhou's voice was hoarse and weak, "Go and dig out the crystal core...be careful." He just wanted to close his eyes and rest for a moment.
Qin Feng struggled to his feet, his face a mixture of exhaustion, pain, and a hint of... indescribable, eerie excitement.
He walked to the zombie corpse, pulled out his dagger, but did not immediately dig out the crystal core. Instead, he turned back to look at Mu Yanzhou, who was slumped on the ground, completely unprepared, and a resolute ruthlessness flashed in his eyes.
But he quickly suppressed it and swiftly extracted the crystal core.
Mu Yanzhou rested for a while, and his breathing gradually stabilized.
Sensing someone approaching, he suddenly opened his eyes, only to see his brother Qin Feng.
