Chapter 149: Teamwork

Officer Liu’s cannon right hand charged up with energy and was about to fire at the three newcomers.

“What are you waiting for?!” Gray Bear shouted urgently. “Hide!”

Ronnie and Xiran were quick to react. A glance at the battlefield told them what they were going to face.

From the two sides, they rushed to hold onto Can with such ferocity that they squashed Can’s face between their chests like a patty between hamburger buns, her mouth pushed into an open O.

“In...visibility...”

Can activated her Talent.

In an instant, the trio disappeared.

So that’s how it works, Gao Yang thought with pleasant surprise.

He had been curious about how Invisibility worked. If it only turned the body invisible, what about the clothes she wore? Or the weapons in her hands? With those announcing where she was, the Talent would be essentially useless.

But it turned out Invisibility allowed her to turn herself as well as those within a certain range invisible.

Considering how tightly Ronnie and Xiran were holding onto her, the effective range was probably about half a meter.

Losing the target, Officer Liu turned to aim the cannon at Gao Yang.

Swoosh!

A throwing knife buried into Officer Liu’s shoulder.

His attention shifted again, and he raised his cannon arm to aim at the metal hood, where Lithe Snake was.

“Grrrrr—”

The deadly green ray shot at Lithe Snake with precision.

Lithe Snake kicked against the hood with both feet, dodging the shot narrowly. Holding the ceiling fan, he swung toward the counter for chopping pork.

With a roll along the counter, he grabbed a cleaver and jumped to the side as quickly as he could. Half a second after, the following lesser deadly ray sliced open the entire counter.

Lithe Snake ran at full speed, throwing his last two knives to cover himself.

Officer Liu stopped to recharge his right arm.

Swoosh, swoosh!

Two fireballs flew toward Officer Liu from the sides. Gao Yang had been waiting. Unable to get away in time, Officer Liu blocked them with his right hand.

The fireballs were so unstable that they burst into flames at once and scattered all over his skin.

“Ahhhh...”

Although the fire lasted only a few seconds, it was enough to hurt Officer Liu and slow him down, buying more time for Gao Yang’s team.

“Trap it with the door!” Gao Yang shouted.

Without missing a beat, Gray Bear rushed over and grabbed the top and bottom of the rolling door. With a yank and a push, he wrapped Officer Liu tightly between the door like a sushi roll. However, the door was far from sturdy enough. Under the corrosive rays, it was as easily breakable as a sheet of paper.

Pew!

Indeed, a thin ray of light put a hole in the rolling door.

Gray Bear hurriedly retreated, almost hit by the attack.

Gao Yang had already rushed toward Officer Liu, but he wasn’t certain his attack would be effective. His Fire couldn’t reach its full damage output if he failed to keep the target still for more than five seconds.

However, there was no better way.

He concentrated his energy in his hands, about to activate Fire.

“Out of the way!”

Then a yell came from his left.

He turned to see a thick metal beam floating in the air, stabbing at Officer Liu.

Crack, thud!

It pierced through the folded door before penetrating Officer Liu’s body, pinning him to the wall at an upward angle.

It was then Can’s Invisibility lost effect.

The trio were revealed to be holding the metal beam with all six hands, pinning Officer Liu firmly to the wall with their teamwork.

Three pairs of hands were certainly better than one pair, Gao Yang thought, surprised in a good way.

Unfortunately, their moment of glory lasted no more than three seconds.

“Oww, my foot.”

Can fell on her bottom. She seemed to have twisted her ankle while charging.

Xiran rushed to Gao Yang and covered his ears with both hands.

Surprised, Gao Yang didn’t realize what was happening before Ronnie burst into a strange scream, his throat bobbing.

“Kyaaaa, kyaaaaaa, ahhhh—”

Gao Yang was hit with a wave of irritation as if a hundred people were fighting in his head, the chaos preventing him from focusing on anything. The effect, fortunately, was diminished with his ears covered, and he came to his senses slowly.

It was Ronnie’s Disorientation, Gao Yang realized.

It worked on Officer Liu as well, and instead of making an attack, the monster wrapped in metal and pinned to the wall struggled senselessly while crying out.

The rolling door sandwiching Officer Liu loosened and slowly opened by a crack.

Gao Yang raised his hands at the metal plates opening like a blooming flower, pushing all his fiery energy into the attack.

“Fire!”
