Two legs can't keep up with four wheels. Seeing that the three were about to come out, Shen Muyu asked Xiao A to stop at a villa next door, pretending to be looking for something.
"Be careful. Although that dog rarely comes near, you never know. Hide behind me for a while, don't be stupid and rush at it," Li Qian said, squinting at Zhou Quan.
Liu Zhu is a man of ideas, but Zhou Quan is just a big, simple-minded guy who only knows how to act recklessly. He needs to be given some pointers.
When Zhou Quan saw Li Qian's gaze, he nodded obediently, which made him look even more foolish.
...
"It's unbearable to look at." Shen Muyu was a little puzzled. How did such a person survive until now? And if it weren't for the fact that these were the only three children left in the entire villa community, she would have really been planning to find someone else to give directions.
Shen Muyu aimed his rifle at Li Qian at the front from the control tower, while Zhan Yi stood at the car door, ready to strike at any moment.
Li Qian led the two men to squat at the corner of the villa, then stretched out his hand, and Zhou Quan placed a specially made bow and arrow in his hand.
Shen Muyu simply stared at them without making any other moves. This was mainly to observe the attack methods of the other superhumans; killing them in one blow would be meaningless.
After Li Qian nocked his bow, he aimed at the interior of Shen Muyu's car. Due to the wooden planks blocking his view and the blind spots, he could only aim roughly towards the driver's side.
He carefully attached a wisp of supernatural power to the arrowhead. This was an attack method he had discovered long ago, which could achieve the maximum supernatural power enhancement with minimal consumption.
Moreover, since this bow and arrow were specially customized by him from a factory, they are very strong and durable, and can be recycled and reused.
As the arrow departed, a whooshing sound rang out. Shen Muyu did not allow the arrow to hit the car, but instead used his special ability to block it.
"Hiss..." A tingling electric sensation returned through his mental energy, and Shen Muyu's body trembled.
"It seems that not everything can be mentally enveloped," Shen Muyu thought, pressing down the goosebumps that had stood up.
The arrow, having lost its power and supernatural abilities, suddenly fell to the ground midway through its flight. Li Qian, whose strength had been gradually built up on his own, immediately sensed something was wrong.
Now is not the time to conserve his supernatural power. Li Qian threw the bow behind him and released the supernatural power he had gathered in his body directly from his palm, heading towards the driver's seat.
He quickly ran forward, intending to follow the superpowered individual and find a more advantageous position to attack.
What was originally a thin line of lightning expanded and grew larger and larger after it was shot out, at an extremely fast speed, almost imperceptible to the naked eye.
Shen Muyu managed to wrap some up, but a lot of lightning still hit the car directly. Frustrated, he felt he didn't have enough attack skills, but there were no suitable skill books for sale in the store, and he didn't know when he could get a new one.
The reactive armor was triggered, and an extremely powerful explosive exploded. Li Qian, who was behind him, managed to set up a net made of lightning in front of him in time to block most of the attack, but the impact still sent him flying backward.
"Young Master Li!" Zhou Quan saw him, dropped what he was holding, and ran over, dragging him behind a decorative pillar.
Liu Zhu swallowed hard and followed.
Shen Muyu didn't continue her attack. Instead, she apologized to the pixelated "A" on the screen in front of her, who was the one who suffered the consequences of her testing someone else's superpower.
The control tower is now a separate dimensional space, so the current didn't extend into it. Also, the metal on Zhan Yi's body is non-conductive, so only the car bore the brunt of everything.
"Damn it, I misjudged. This guy is even more powerful than I thought." Li Qian spat out a mouthful of blood.
For so many days, he had been the only superhuman around him, and apart from that greyhound, he hadn't paid attention to anything for a long time. He never expected that the outside world had developed like this.
"I'll make a big move in a bit, let's escape from here." Li Qian had Zhou Quan carry him on his back, then gathered his remaining supernatural power to prepare for a final blow, which was how he survived from the spirit dog before.
However, several people were killed in order to buy time, and almost all the surviving people in the neighborhood were killed by that dog. This is why they dared not search the area ahead, as the dog had built a den there and probably considered it its territory.
Shen Muyu frowned and directly used his mental power to envelop Li Qian's crystal core, interrupting the condensation of his superpower.
Based on the feedback from her mental energy, Shen Muyu sensed the increasingly active lightning elements in the air, and a sense of unease washed over her. She didn't have many attack methods at the moment, and using her defensive cards on these people would be a waste, so it would be better to interrupt them in advance.
The crystal core is considered the core of a superhuman, as it is needed for both collecting and activating superhuman abilities.
Of course, players like Shen Muyu are excluded, as no crystal core has condensed within their bodies. This was discovered by many mental ability players who had explored their internal organs several times without finding any trace of a crystal core.
The leveling up of these players is more like an expansion of energy, and they have no way to research attack methods on their own. Like robots that need to be programmed, the use of superpowers is not intelligent for them at all.
Because Li Qian's ability level was much lower than hers, cutting off her ability was relatively easy. If it were someone of the same or higher level, it would be much easier to break through her mental blockade.
Li Qian felt his long-accumulated superpower suddenly go silent, and even the circulation of the crystal core energy became extremely sluggish.
"Stop resisting. I mean you no harm. I just need you to lead the way," Shen Muyu shouted to the three of them through Xiao A's megaphone.
"Lead the way?" The three of them were stunned when they heard this. They had been plotting something so desperately, and all you did was find someone to lead the way?
"Yes, I need to bypass this city. Does anyone know the way?" Shen Muyu said nonchalantly. For the three of them, this was the only option for survival at the moment.
"I know! I can lead the way for you, but you have to guarantee our safety," Li Qian said, frowning.
"I can't guarantee that. I can only say that if you successfully lead me out of here, I might spare your lives," Shen Muyu replied directly.
Are you crazy? She's not going to be a nanny. Besides, these people just plotted to kill her. It's already merciful of her to spare her life. Of course, whether she can actually survive is another matter.
"Okay! I'll give you directions, and you can lead us out!" Li Qian thought for a moment and agreed. He was now truly at the mercy of others and had no choice but to submit. Besides, his original intention was to escape the city, and the two were not contradictory. If he had known, he wouldn't have bothered with all this and would have just obediently hitched a ride.
