Chapter 145 Qiao Yan learns that Qin Zhuo is not dead
The fireball, carrying intense heat and powerful impact, struck Zhang Tao instantly.
The violent impact sent Zhang Tao flying, tracing a clumsy arc through the air. At the same time, the flames from the fireball rapidly spread to his entire body, engulfing him in a sea of fire.
Upon landing, Zhang Tao was engulfed in flames. He let out a bloodcurdling scream and rolled wildly on the ground, trying to extinguish the flames.
Seeing this, Zhang Yu was extremely anxious and rushed over frantically to try and save the person.
But the raging flames over his entire body made it impossible for him to attack, and with each step he took closer, he could feel the intense heat emanating from them.
Finally, Zhang Tao rolled over a few times, his voice gradually weakening until he fell silent, leaving only a charred corpse.
Zhang Yu's eyes were bloodshot and filled with hatred and anger. He stared intently at Shen Jia and Qiao Yan, "I will kill you to avenge my brother, even if it costs me my life."
Before he finished speaking, he rushed towards Shen Jia without regard for his own safety. At this moment, he had completely disregarded his own safety and had only one thought in his mind—to avenge his brother.
Seeing this, Qiao Yan hurriedly used her rattan whip to attack Zhang Yu, trying to stop his attack on Shen Jia.
The rattan whip lashed out at Zhang Yu again and again, making a "crackling" sound.
Zhang Yu allowed Qiao Yan to attack him. Soon, wounds appeared all over his body, and blood flowed freely. But he seemed to feel no pain. Even though he was covered in wounds, he did not stop rushing towards Shen Jia.
At this moment, all he could see was Shen Jia, the one who killed his brother, and his mind was filled with thoughts of revenge.
Seeing this, Shen Jia retreated in a panic while desperately attacking Zhang Yu with his fire-based abilities.
Fireballs flew from his hands toward Zhang Yu.
However, Zhang Yu skillfully dodged all of these attacks.
By this time, Shen Jia had already exhausted much of her physical strength and supernatural abilities, making it difficult to stop the berserk Zhang Yu from approaching step by step.
Zhang Yu raised his axe high, the axe gleaming with a cold light, and with a heart full of hatred, he slashed fiercely at Shen Jia.
Seeing this, Qiao Yan was extremely anxious. She quickly mobilized all her supernatural abilities, and a green protective shield instantly appeared in front of Shen Jia, tightly protecting him.
But Zhang Yu's axe, slashing with all his might, carried immense force and shattered the protective shield instantly.
His axe continued to slash fiercely at Shen Jia.
Qiao Yan's eyes widened, and she cried out in terror, "Shen Jia!"
Just when Qiao Yan thought Shen Jia was doomed, a loud "bang" rang out, and time seemed to stand still.
Zhang Yu's eyes widened, his face filled with disbelief. His body fell straight backward, a bloody hole in his chest from which blood gushed.
He ended up dying with his eyes wide open in disbelief.
At this moment, Shen Jia held a small pistol in his hand, with wisps of smoke rising from the muzzle.
It turned out that at the critical moment, Shen Jia pulled out the pistol he had been hiding on his person and delivered a fatal blow to Zhang Yu.
Qiao Yan was stunned for a while before she came to her senses from this sudden turn of events.
She ran quickly to Shen Jia's side, "Shen Jia, you..."
Before she could finish speaking, Shen Jia's legs went weak, and she collapsed to her knees as if she had lost all support.
His face was as pale as paper, and his forehead was covered with large beads of sweat.
Qiao Yan helped Shen Jia up and asked anxiously, "Are you alright?"
Shen Jia shook her head slightly and said weakly, "I'm fine, I'm just a little exhausted. I'll be fine after a rest."
Qiao Yan's gaze fell on the gun that Shen Jia was holding tightly in his hand, her eyes full of doubt, and she asked, "Where did you get this gun?"
Shen Jia lowered his head slightly, looked at the gun in his hand, and slowly said, "It was given to me by Brother Qin before you went on your mission. At the time, he told me very seriously that he would personally teach me how to use a gun when we got back."
Qiao Yan pressed on, "If you can't use a gun, how did you manage to hit him?"
Shen Jia scratched his head, somewhat embarrassed, and said, "When you guys went out of the base to do missions, didn't Brother Qin specifically arrange for someone to take me with him? There was a veteran in the team who knew how to use a gun, and he saw that I was quite interested in guns, so he taught me some simple operations."
"However, my skill level and accuracy are really not high, and bullets are very limited, so I dare not use them easily. I was really incredibly lucky to hit Zhang Yu just now. The axe was about to hit me, and I really thought I was going to die."
Qiao Yan glanced at Zhang Yu's dead body on the ground and said with lingering fear, "Luckily you had such good luck, otherwise we would all be dead here today. By the way, where's your dad? Isn't he with you?"
Shen Jia suddenly stood up, her face full of anxiety. "Oh no, Sister Yan Yan, we have to find my dad right away. The situation was urgent earlier, so I stayed behind to cover the retreat and let Dad take Brother Qin first. But neither of them are very strong in combat, and I'm really afraid something will happen to them."
Qiao Yan was slightly taken aback. "Brother Qin? You mean Qin Zhuo?"
Shen Jia nodded vigorously.
Qiao Yan's eyes widened in disbelief as she said, "Wasn't Qin Zhuo dead?"
Qiao Yan had overheard this recently.
When she first learned of it, she was stunned and stood there in disbelief, followed by sadness.
Fortunately, not everyone met with misfortune; the younger sister and Xiaoyouzi successfully escaped the base.
Shen Jia hurriedly explained, "Brother Qin isn't dead, but his condition isn't very good right now. We'll discuss the specifics as we search for him; time is of the essence, and we can't afford to waste a single second."
Qiao Yan also realized the seriousness of the situation and decisively said, "Okay, let's go quickly."
Shen Jia, with Qiao Yan in tow, hurriedly searched in the direction where Shen's father had run off earlier.
Meanwhile, Shen's father carried Qin Zhuo on his back and ran wildly. Before long, he felt extremely exhausted. His legs felt as heavy as if they were filled with lead, and every step was incredibly difficult.
He was panting heavily, looking around, and finally found a secluded spot in a corner of an abandoned factory.
He carefully put Qin Zhu down and let him lean against the wall, while he himself plopped down beside him, breathing heavily, his forehead covered in beads of sweat that streamed down his cheeks.
But Shen's father had only rested for a short while when he heard a creaking sound.
His heart tightened, and he suddenly looked up to see a zombie that seemed to have appeared out of nowhere, staggering toward them.
This zombie had no superpowers, emitted a nauseating stench, had empty, lifeless eyes, and a wide-open mouth revealing its blackened teeth.
