CHAPTER 299: CHAPTER 299: IMPROVING COOPERATION

"Let’s follow behind them and see what they do. We can decide what to do later." The man referred to as captain instructed.

However, Jasmine stopped them.

"No. Do you really think that Lu Zhen is a normal man you can just tail if you want to?

I am sure that the apocalypse hasn’t changed who he is or how he treats people. So, don’t go digging your grave by following him.

He will probably notice us from a mile away and send us to meet our maker if he thinks we are a threat.

It’s better to go back and report to the boss. I don’t think the boss is looking for my idol with any bad intentions. In that case, instead of doing things sneakily, it’s better to be open about it." It must be said that fans understood their idols best.

Jasmine knew how Lu Zhen would react to them taking the initiative to tail them.

Luckily, the captain wasn’t a hard-headed person and listened to his teammates. Once he heard what Jasmine said, he took the advice.

"Little Jas is right, we can’t just start following people without saying anything. They might take us as enemies and then things will become complicated.

Let’s go back and tell the boss first. He can then decide what to do next." The captain didn’t want to put the others in danger just because of a mission.

The apocalypse was already making life a living hell, there was no need to add to their problems.

"Okay then, let’s get going." The other young woman in the team agreed.

However, her eyes flickered in the direction Lu Zhen had left in. No one knew what she was thinking.

As such, the team left in the opposite direction of the community where Lu Zhen and his family lived.

Unbeknownst to them, every word they had said had fallen into the ears of Lu Tao.

Even though he didn’t say anything about it, he had made sure to listen to their entire conversation as they walked forward.

Leng Pan and Lu Zhen seemed to know what he was doing and had slowed down so that they didn’t walk out of the range of his superpowers before he got all the information.

It wasn’t until they saw him increasing his speed a little that they got the message that he had gotten everything he needed to.

Because of Leng Pan’s warning about keeping his superpowers a secret, Lu Tao didn’t say anything and decided to talk about what he heard when they got home later.

The team met with sporadic zombies that were a little faster than before, but one could tell that the freezing cold was making their limbs stiff, especially since unlike humans, they weren’t covered with warm clothes.

Hence, both Lu Zhen and Leng Pan decided that this was the best opportunity to train those who weren’t used to fighting zombies as they were slower than normal.

Moreover, since they didn’t meet a big horde of zombies and only came across a few each time, it became easier as one person could take on one zombie and the rest who were idle would provide support whenever needed.

It only took them four waves of five or six zombies in a group for the women and Janna to get used to killing them.

In fact, Janna could already take on two at the same time even though her superpower was auxiliary.

Auntie Li tried to use the advice Leng Pan had given her before and used her wood superpower to speed up the growth of the tree branches that were covered in snow.

The branches were then used to tie the zombies in place before Li Yunjia used her sword to cut their heads off.

It was an excellent cooperation that gave excellent results.

Even Leng Pan, who had provided them with ideas about their superpowers, was surprised by how fast they managed to apply what they had learned.

When Vortex saw how flawlessly Auntie Li was using her superpowers, he got excited.

He realized that the advice Leng Pan had provided was genuine and could really be applied when battling. Then that meant that his space ability could also be improved.

Thus, while the zombies were held back by the few women who were training, he tried to use his ability to sense space and control it.

However, it wasn’t as easy as he had expected. It wasn’t until they were inside a convenience store they came across that had been looted before but still had some supplies left that he managed to do something.

He had almost exhausted all his spiritual energy while practicing to sense space when suddenly he felt a subtle feeling when he tried to control the space around a coin chocolate that had fallen on a table.

At first he didn’t understand what that feeling was but when he tried to pick up the coin chocolate but failed because he couldn’t touch it, he understood.

He had managed to seal the space around that chocolate. It was just for a few seconds, but he had managed to do something he never thought he could do.

His excitement knew no bounds as his hands started to shake and his ever serious face cracked.

Silk who was standing close to him could almost feel the vibrations caused by his excitement.

"Why are you so excited? Did you win the lottery or something?" Silk couldn’t help asking when he saw that Vortex was about to explode from the excitement.

Vortex turned slowly to look at his comrade. His lips parted and closed a few times but nothing came out.

He was overwhelmed with happiness and didn’t know how to express it.

"Did something really happen?" Silk asked as the first time he had only been jesting and wasn’t serious about winning the lottery thing.

However, seeing how Vortex was behaving, he realized that something had really happened.

"What exactly happened?" As he asked he walked towards Vortex, which also attracted the attention of the others.
