Chapter 144 Strength-Type Mutant
Shen Jia held onto the backpack tightly. "I can give you everything else in the bag, the food and supplies, you can take them if you want, but I can't give you this medicine."
Upon hearing that there was medicine, a glint of greed flashed in Zhang Yu's eyes.
He brandished the gleaming axe in his hand and said viciously, "Everything is ours. Don't even think about leaving anything behind. We don't even intend to spare your lives. Brother, stop wasting time talking to him. Let's finish this kid off and chase after the guy who ran away. Don't let them get away."
As soon as he finished speaking, Zhang Yu charged forward like a ferocious beast, axe in hand.
Shen Jia immediately stepped back, his eyes filled with coldness, and a fireball began to condense again in his lowered hand, with scorching energy surging in his palm.
Since that's the case, he has no choice but to fight. He hopes his father and the others will be alright.
But just as he raised his hand to throw the fireball, he suddenly felt his mind go blank, and he froze on the spot, motionless, his eyes becoming dazed.
Seeing Shen Jia's unusual behavior, Zhang Yu's lips curled up slightly, revealing a triumphant smile.
He showed no surprise whatsoever, as if everything was under his control.
He roared, "Die, kid!"
He raised the axe high in his hand and then chopped it straight down at Shen Jia. The axe blade sliced through the air with a sharp whistling sound.
Just at this critical moment, a green vine whip suddenly appeared from the side and instantly wrapped around Shen Jia's waist.
With a sharp flick of the whip, Shen Jia was thrown to the side and crashed heavily to the ground, narrowly avoiding the axe that was coming at him.
Zhang Yu stopped what he was doing and looked at the woman who was controlling the rattan whip.
He frowned and shouted, "Who are you? Why are you ruining my plans? I advise you to mind your own business, or I'll take care of you too."
Qiao Yan ignored Zhang Yu's shouts and quickly walked to Shen Jia's side. She gently nudged him and said urgently, "Shen Jia, wake up."
Shen Jia's confused gaze gradually focused.
He stood up from the ground, looked at Qiao Yan in front of him, and his eyes flashed with surprise, "Sister Yan Yan! I don't know what happened just now, my mind suddenly went blank."
Qiao Yan pointed to Zhang Tao, who had been standing inconspicuously to the side, and said, "That person is a psychic. You were just affected by his mental power, which is why you lost consciousness."
Shen Jia looked at Zhang Tao, her eyes filled with anger, and said through gritted teeth, "So it was you, you despicable scoundrel."
Zhang Tao's lips curled into a mocking smile. "I didn't expect you guys to see through me, but even if you did, so what?"
Zhang Yu shouted impatiently from the side, "So you two know each other. In that case, let's deal with it together and not waste my time."
Qiao Yan flicked the rattan whip in her hand, the whip making a crisp sound in the air, and she said coldly, "You don't have the ability to deal with me."
As she spoke, Qiao Yan rushed towards Zhang Yu, her vine whip moving like a nimble snake, instantly wrapping around the axe in Zhang Yu's hand.
She tried to pull hard, wanting to throw his weapon aside, but the axe seemed to be welded to Zhang Yu's hand and wouldn't budge an inch.
A hint of surprise flashed in Qiao Yan's eyes.
This person is incredibly strong! Could it be that he...?
She looked at Zhang Yu and said, "So you're a strength-type mutant!"
Zhang Yu smiled smugly, "Yes, my strength is something you can't compare to."
As soon as he finished speaking, a fierce glint flashed in Zhang Yu's eyes. He swung the axe forcefully with both hands, the axe whistling through the air.
Qiao Yan felt a powerful pull on her hand. With no other choice, she had to let go of the vine whip, otherwise she would be pulled away by the huge force.
Seeing this, Shen Jia hurriedly shouted, "Sister Yan Yan, let me help you."
As he spoke, he was about to rush forward.
Qiao Yan stopped Shen Jia and hurriedly shouted, "Don't be impulsive. As long as we attack him from a distance and don't let him get close, even if he is very strong, it won't help. As long as we keep our distance from him, he can't do anything to us."
Shen Jia nodded vigorously: "Yes, I understand."
Then, Qiao Yan and Shen Jia stood on either side of Zhang Yu and launched a long-range attack.
Qiao Yan manipulated the vine whip, lashing it at Zhang Yu from time to time, the whip drawing green arcs in the air.
Shen Jia then condensed fireballs and hurled them at Zhang Yu one after another, the fireballs carrying intense heat.
But they forgot about Zhang Tao, a psychic ability user.
This seemingly insignificant guy, who had been hiding behind Zhang Yu, had now become their biggest obstacle.
Although Zhang Yu was unable to get close to the two due to their ranged attacks, Zhang Tao occasionally used his mind to control them.
Whenever he activated his superpower, Qiao Yan and Shen Jia would suddenly forget the battle, freeze in place, and their eyes would become confused. This was the perfect opportunity for Zhang Yu to attack.
Fortunately, Zhang Tao's mental abilities were clearly not very strong, and he did not reach the level of the zombie Bai Chi.
He can only control one person, and he can only stop that person from acting; he cannot control that person to attack others.
But this was enough to give Qiao Yan and Shen Jia a huge headache.
Zhang Tao's interference disgusted Qiao Yan and Shen Jia, who had to be constantly aware of whether their partner was being controlled.
Once you discover that your companion has been controlled, you must rush over immediately to wake them up, otherwise Zhang Yu will seize the opportunity to attack.
If not woken up in time, this could have fatal consequences.
Qiao Yan quickly realized that she had to deal with the psychic ability user first, otherwise the battle would fall into an endless stalemate.
Her brain raced as she considered strategies to deal with the situation.
Qiao Yan quickly whispered something in Shen Jia's ear.
"I'll distract them for a bit, and you find an opportunity to attack that psychic guy."
During the next attack, Qiao Yan deliberately drew Zhang Yu and Zhang Tao's attention.
She increased the intensity of her vine whip attack, which cracked and snapped in the air.
At the same time, she would occasionally shout provocatively, "Come on, you two grown men can't even handle a woman and a child."
Enraged by Qiao Yan's provocation, Zhang Yu brandished his axe and charged towards her. Zhang Tao also kept a close eye on Qiao Yan, ready to use mind control at any moment.
At the same time, Shen Jia quickly formed a fireball in his hand. He focused intently on Zhang Tao, who was some distance away from Zhang Yu, and threw it out swiftly.
By the time Zhang Yu and Zhang Tao realized what was happening, it was too late.
The fireball had already reached Zhang Tao, and its intense heat was overwhelming.
Zhang Tao, overcome with fear, had forgotten to dodge. His eyes widened, his face filled with terror, and he stood there dumbfounded.
