Chapter 81 Cat Catching Mouse
Ji Yuanzhou realized what was happening, shook off Zhang Zhenzhen's hand, and moved away from her as if in a panic, until he leaned against the wooden board on the other side.
"You...you weren't with Lu Shang?!" He was utterly shocked, not even noticing his glasses were askew.
Zhang Zhenzhen said shyly, "He and I haven't officially confirmed that we're together, but from the first moment I saw you, I was smitten with you. Anyway, Lu Shang is dead, so it doesn't matter if I like you, right?"
"...You like both of us at the same time?" Ji Yuanzhou said in disbelief, his head throbbing with pain.
He lived below Lu Shang and had known Zhang Zhenzhen before the apocalypse. In his memory, Zhang Zhenzhen had always been pursuing Lu Shang, but now she said she was also interested in him.
Zhang Zhenzhen nodded: "Yes, I like both of you at the same time, but you have to believe me, even if it's two people, my love is real."
The first time she met Ji Yuanzhou, she was attracted by his refined and scholarly air. In addition, he was handsome and gentle, spoke eloquently, and was a gentleman. He was a popular figure on campus.
The only downside is that he's a teacher and doesn't have much money.
At that time, she got to know Lu Shang through her brother-in-law, and her heart was with him, which is why she didn't make a move against Ji Yuanzhou.
She liked Lu Shang because he was an elegant pianist, good-looking and classy, and also very rich. She was happy to pursue him, but who would have thought that he was a scumbag who was having an affair with her brother-in-law, which disgusted her.
In comparison, Ji Yuanzhou, who now possesses the power of lightning, is clearly better.
"Uh..." Ji Yuanzhou opened his mouth, not knowing what to say, only feeling a little hot in his head.
Finally, he politely said, "I'm sorry, I'm not planning on dating right now. You should find someone better."
If they can get out of here alive.
Zhang Zhenzhen bit her lower lip and said unwillingly, "It's okay, sooner or later you will see my true feelings."
In contrast, Li Feng was much more normal. He asked, "Ji Yuanzhou, has your superpower recovered yet? We can't stay here forever."
Ji Yuanzhou sensed his own strength and then said, "I suffered a significant loss just now, and it won't recover in a short time. Let's wait a bit longer."
"……Fine."
They're all useless when it really matters. Like He Mengyun, they made all the promises before marriage, even talking about buying a house and a car together, but in the end, she just cheated on him.
But considering that only his superpower could get him out of here, Li Feng swallowed his dissatisfaction.
The three of them hid quietly in the fishing boat until Miao Yin came aboard.
Before they could react, the scorching flames had burned half of the fishing boat.
The flames were very strange; even water couldn't extinguish them. The three of them ran out in a panic, staring in shock at the girl surrounded by flames.
"You're a superpowered person too!" Zhang Zhenzhen exclaimed in surprise.
The flames had engulfed the entire fishing boat. Miao Yin stood in the firelight, her pupils terrifyingly black: "The game isn't over yet, how can the players rest?"
The crocodile-men who had dispersed earlier swarmed back again. They dared not approach Miao Yin, who was surrounded by flames, and Li Feng and his companions became their prey once more.
A crocodile-man climbed onto a large fake seashell and pounced on Li Feng from behind.
"Ji Yuanzhou! Help!!" Li Feng shouted as his arm was bitten, and he used one hand to press down on the deformed man's mouth and pull it out.
A bolt of lightning struck, and the crocodile-man's mouth loosened, allowing Li Feng to finally free his arm. He scrambled away from the spot.
Ji Yuanzhou used his newly recovered supernatural abilities to weave a thin electric net in the air, trapping all three of them inside and temporarily halting the mutant's actions.
But as he watched more and more deformed people, Ji Yuanzhou's expression turned grim. His clothes were soaked with cold sweat, and all the gentleness on his face vanished.
Ever since he refused to join Miao Yin's side, the other party has been retaliating against him one after another. What exactly did he do to deserve this?
But with their lives in imminent danger, there was no time to think about any of that.
He gritted his teeth and said, "I'm willing to join your team and stop attracting mutants."
"Hahahaha—" Miao Yin stared at him for a while, then suddenly burst into laughter, the sharp sound startling everyone.
"I told you to come, but you wouldn't. Now that you're under attack, you want to join? Ji Yuanzhou, Ji Yuanzhou, you've got a good idea. Too bad, this is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity. I want to see you chased to death by these mutants!"
Ji Yuanzhou's breath hitched, and even his supernatural ability faltered for a moment.
It seems he... has messed with a madman.
Since the other party is unwilling to let him go, he will not sit idly by and wait to die.
“Use our previous method!” he said to Zhang Zhenzhen.
They had formed this team some time ago and had naturally discussed some strategies for dealing with the enemy, although they hadn't used them most of the time due to their own reasons.
“Okay!” Zhang Zhenzhen said, her body trembling.
She conjured a water sphere and hurled it at the nearest deformed person.
The water balloons hit the deformed people's wrinkled skin, bursting into tiny water droplets that soaked their bodies.
Ji Yuanzhou modulates his ability to conduct electricity using water, maximizing the effect of electric shock.
Reduce losses by attacking in small areas, then use the stick to open up the crocodile man.
“Let’s break out!” he said to the other two.
Li Feng, with blood streaming from one hand, held a kitchen knife and, despite his fear, hacked at the mutated man who lunged at him, not even having a chance to speak.
With Ji Yuanzhou and Zhang Zhenzhen working together, they finally opened up a path.
"Let's go!" he shouted.
The three of them ran quickly out of the gap and headed towards the third floor. The crocodile people who hadn't been electrocuted roared and followed behind them.
The cat and the mouse are locked in another race, and another battle has begun.
"Keep up," Miao Yin said.
Tu Hao scoffed from behind, "What a crazy woman."
He just swore an oath for someone, and now he wants him dead.
How far will this pointless farce go before she's satisfied?
Tu Hao shook his head.
Forget it, none of this concerns him. Whether Ji Yuanzhou lives or dies is none of his business. All he wants now is to find Miao Yin's weakness, kill her as soon as possible, and take back his freedom.
Miao Yin followed Ji Yuanzhou's escape trail, slowly catching up with him. During the chase, she killed all the mutated people who blocked her way and obtained two more green crystal cores.
She held the crystal core in her hand and found Ji Yuanzhou once again.
They were almost cornered, with only a wall behind them and a passage on their right foot that led to an underwater tunnel below, making it impossible to get out.
The surrounding area was filled with deformed people attracted by the sound.
