Chapter 94: Escape from the City
The moment Jiang Lu finished speaking, flames like lasers shot out from the compound eyes of those red mosquitoes.
Because the speed is so fast and the flame is a thin line, and it cuts everything it touches, it looks like a laser.
With so many mosquitoes releasing their skills at the same time on their building, wouldn't the damage be tons?
The building was destroyed instantly, and they fell down together along the collapsed floor. However, they were all psychics, so they could stay stable after falling from such a height, as long as they didn't get hit by the falling walls from above.
Ling Yao quickly cast [Indestructible Diamond] on himself and his teammates. While falling, he activated his special ability and found the three mosquitoes in the middle of the swarm to control them.
Now that his abilities have been upgraded, he can easily control three to five aliens of the same level as him, but he also has to devote his energy to speaking, so he cannot control five at the same time.
The big mosquito and the fan mosquito in the middle turned their guns around and shot at their friendly forces. Countless mosquitoes fell from the sky. This time Ling Yao learned to be smart. After controlling the mosquitoes to release their superpowers, he quickly withdrew his mental power to avoid being counterattacked.
While controlling the mosquitoes, he also shouted at Jiang Lu: "Can't your people change the terrain? Change us away!"
After landing on the first floor, Hu Yaoyao held up her shield and blocked the five members of the bounty hunter team and the four people including Chu Xihen under her shield. Her shield became more than three times larger, and she held it with one hand. She didn't know how much was pressed on it, but she didn't feel any effort at all.
"Since Brother Lu didn't ask me to change, I didn't change." Hu Yaoyao said.
Jiang Lu explained to Ling Yao: "I just checked, it's very dangerous in front, behind, left and right, there's no place to change."
Hearing Jiang Lu's words, everyone's heart sank.
"The attack is coming. The bunker in front of us will be destroyed soon. Yaoyao, get ready to add shields and keep adding them. Lingyao, it's the same even if you're crazy." Jiang Lu said and glanced at Bai Jinli and the others.
They didn't have any teammates who could add shields, but they had an earth-attribute psychic named Sun Ye. His ability level was not low either. He directly summoned clods of earth to form a triangle to wrap up his teammates. After hearing what Jiang Lu said, he immediately erected a wall in front of the team.
"Others, attack the mosquitoes with all your strength. We must kill them before leaving, otherwise we may encounter more alien species." Jiang Lu said.
Judging from the consequences of Chen Zeyi's attack on the vines just now, the safest thing to do is to kill the large group of red mosquitoes in front of him, and don't dare to touch anything else for the time being.
The next moment, there were crackling sounds, and the cover in front of them, the shields on their bodies, and the wall built by Sun Ye were all broken by the mosquitoes' attacks.
Fortunately, Jiang Lu had reminded them in advance, so they immediately started a new one.
Just like that, Ling Yao, Hu Yaoyao and Sun Ye were too busy to kill the red mosquitoes and had to leave it to others.
Jiang Lu first instructed his teammates, "Jiang Zang, put your mirrors in the sky and use the refraction of the sun to burn them!"
"Good idea!" Jiang Zang was worried that there seemed to be no room for his special abilities to be put to good use, and that using a gun to kill a mosquito was too slow.
Jiang Lu continued, "Sister Man, please don't use your powers yet, in case someone gets hurt."
After talking to Xu Man, his tone became more serious, "Chen Zeyi, what are you doing standing there? Hurry up and draw your bow and shoot the arrow. Look, the big guy has killed more people than you even without using his superpowers!"
Things happened too quickly. Chen Zeyi was still in a trance. He came back to his senses after hearing Jiang Lu's words. With trembling hands, he pulled the flaming bow and arrow to deal with the mosquitoes in front of him.
Next to the bounty hunter team is Chu Xihen's team. Although Chu Xihen did not use his superpowers, his bow and arrows never missed a target, and one arrow could kill a long string of mosquitoes. He could shoot several arrows at the same time, and the effect was no worse than when others used their superpowers.
"You just need to use your superpowers to quickly injure the mosquitoes, and I will harvest them." Lou Su said to everyone.
His instant kill skill is still very useful against these little creatures, but if used against psychics, it would not be as effective as throwing a wind blade.
Using superpowers to kill mosquitoes in one blow is definitely not as fast as just injuring the mosquitoes, and the number of them cannot be increased. But with Lou Su's backup, they only need to release superpowers to injure the mosquitoes over a large area.
This way the killing process is much faster, and you can only see piles of mosquito corpses falling from the sky.
The mosquitoes' attacks were all blocked by their shields. However, in the gap between the old and new shields, some people would still be injured by the mosquitoes' abilities. However, such minor injuries would not affect everyone's attack speed.
After fighting hard for two hours, everyone except Chu Xihen had a pale face and their mental strength was exhausted, before they finally killed all the red mosquitoes.
The dead mosquitoes were piled higher than the rubble they were standing on.
"Brother Lou, pick up the cards quickly. Sister Man will treat everyone. Let's get out of the city quickly. There are too many dangers in the city. It may be safer in the wild." Jiang Lu reminded. He had been commanding for two hours and had been using his supernatural powers. Now his voice was hoarse.
Lou Su nodded, went over to collect all the cards from the corpse, and the group quickly evacuated the ruins.
When they arrived at the back of the collapsed shopping mall, everyone intuitively felt what Jiang Lu meant when she said that there was danger all around.
The streets in the city were all covered with thick vines. The houses on lower ground had been completely taken over by the vines. In the taller buildings, if you looked closely, you could see the infected people standing inside. They were motionless, like bats lying in wait for the night to burst out of their nests.
They walked around the vines and tall buildings without breathing, and no one dared to act rashly. If they disturbed these things at this moment, they would die here today.
It took them more than two hours to finally escape from this terrifying city safely.
When we got to the wild, we found an open space far away from the woods, and they all lay on the ground like a pool of mud.
"It's so fucking exciting. It makes me feel like I'm back in the game world, fighting for survival." Jiang Zang said as he exchanged a bottle of mineral water from the mall, squeezed it open, drank two sips, and then poured the whole thing on his sweat-soaked head.
The weather was not hot; the sweat on his forehead was purely due to nervousness.
The same situation existed for Jiang Zang as well as his teammates, as well as Bai Jinli's team. In comparison, Chu Xihen and his four companions were fine; they were just a little tired but not sweating.
Chu Xihen felt indifferent, Lou Su had a strong psychological quality, Chu Xichi was very excited, and Ling Yao was curious.
All in all, none of the four people felt that the journey they had just taken was worth being nervous about.
After Jiang Zang slowed down, he stood up and hooked his finger at Chen Zeyi.
Chen Zeyi was still in an extremely tense state. He stood up in a daze and walked to Jiang Zang. Before he could stand firmly, he was knocked to the ground by a punch.
Jiang Zang didn't let him go after punching him, and kicked him in the stomach, causing him to bend his body like a shrimp due to the pain.
"What the hell did I tell you when you joined the team? Repeat it again!" Jiang Zang's eyes were fierce, completely different from his usual nonchalant appearance.
"Listen to everything you say." Chen Zeyi gasped in pain, but still insisted on speaking out.
"Did you listen? Who the hell told you to shoot that arrow? Do you know how high the grass was on the grave of the last person who did the same thing as you?" Jiang Zang shouted angrily in Chen Zeyi's ear.
