Chapter 116: Taste the Power of My Axe
"Someone's invading, someone's invading..."
The seven of Jacob, advancing towards the villa, paused at the words.
Then they looked towards the horn hidden in the bushes.
"Damn, we've been spotted, Jacob..."
Isaac looked at Jacob.
"Since we've been spotted, there's no need to rush! The nearest villa isn't far from here. Sophia, can you sense anyone around?"
Sophia shook her head.
"No, and it seems like there's no one inside the villa either. But because of the walls blocking, my perception might not be accurate. You guys can go in and check!"
"Let's go!"
Jacob immediately commanded the group to rush towards the nearest villa.
The villa door was unlocked, and the seven entered smoothly.
They split up, coordinating tacitly, three going upstairs, three circling the first floor and basement.
Only Sophia stood in the living room waiting for a moment.
"No one on the third floor!"
"No one on the second floor!"
"No one in the basement or first floor either!"
Soon, the group quickly scanned the villa.
This was the villa Fiona and her group occupied, and since they were outside, naturally they couldn't find anyone.
"Huh? Did they all run to another villa?"
Jacob wondered aloud.
"Let's go, let's go to the other villa!"
The seven immediately filed out, heading towards Elijah's villa not far away.
...
Charlotte realized something was wrong, immediately grabbed her longsword and sprinted towards the villa.
She was already an athlete, with long legs, and now awakened abilities, greatly enhancing her strength. Running now was like lightning.
"Hey? Wait for me!"
Lily reacted a step too late, immediately losing sight of Charlotte's figure.
She had to shoulder her axe alone and run towards the villa.
Though Lily had strength abilities, she carried too much weight and didn't understand her body as well as Charlotte, not knowing how to leverage it better.
Having strength without technique, although her running speed wasn't slow, her upper body swung back and forth, but she was far behind Charlotte.
Halfway there, she happened to encounter a small dog.
The small dog barked at her a few times, then turned and ran towards the villa, dragging Lily along.
With its four short legs surprisingly fast, just a bit faster than Lily.
Meanwhile, inside the villa, Bella and Katherine, hearing the broadcast, locked the door, each wielding weapons, ready for action.
Katherine had killed zombies, experienced the Isaac incident, and looked relatively relaxed.
Bella had gone through the scumbag Benjamin incident, had awakened herself, and had some confidence.
Moreover, they both believed that once Charlotte discovered the situation, she would quickly resolve it and come to their rescue.
"Is there someone inside this villa?"
Bella, hiding in the corner, suddenly heard someone talking outside.
Sophia carefully sensed for a moment.
She could sense the faint figures of two people inside the villa, appearing and disappearing intermittently. Judging by their body shapes, they were two women, each wielding a knife, ready to defend themselves. She hesitated for a moment, then finally spoke up, "No!"
Her task was to alert to the presence of two invisible individuals, one male and one female. But these two were clearly not the invisible ones. The thought of these two falling into the hands of the group of men, possibly facing death, made her unable to do something against her conscience.
"Go in and check!" Jacob ordered the others.
"Wait, someone's coming, and they're fast!" Sophia halted the group, but before she could finish her sentence, a gunshot rang out. One of the three powerless men suddenly screamed as blood instantly stained his shoulder. But the next moment, the scream abruptly stopped!
"Bang! Bang! Bang!"
Three consecutive gunshots, one directly hitting the head of the screaming man, instantly killing him, relieving him of any pain. The other two shots also found their marks, hitting another powerless man and Theodore. They fell to the ground without a sound.
"Damn, they've got guns!"
At this moment, the remaining few panicked, immediately seeking cover. Isaac acted the fastest; he was the only one among them who knew the other side had guns. He hadn't told Jacob and the others about it, fearing they would give up. Anyway, as long as they were lured here, there was no turning back.
Moreover, he had defensive abilities, able to withstand blows!
"Damn it, Isaac, did you deceive me? Why didn't you say they had guns? Sophia, where are the gunmen?" Jacob roared.
"Jacob, I didn't know they had guns either!" Isaac deflected.
"To the west of the villa..."
Sophia was about to finish her sentence when she noticed Charlotte had already walked into the light, unabashedly staring at the few hiding figures.
"Oh, Isaac? The coward who ran away with his tail between his legs? You actually have the nerve to come back?" Charlotte sneered.
"Damn it, who are you? Dare to look down on me? If you've got guts, throw away your gun and let's settle this with our fists!"
"Do you think I'm stupid?" Charlotte disdainfully curled her lips.
In reality, she was quite relieved. Fortunately, she arrived in time and didn't let them into the villa. Otherwise, Bella and Katherine would be in danger. She had to reveal herself reluctantly, just to attract their attention and make them ignore the possibility of someone being inside the villa.
"Thud! Thud!"
At that moment, heavy footsteps resounded. The few hidden figures noticed another person running behind the woman who had just appeared. She was also a woman, but her chest was too exaggerated, her face looked quite tender, and she held a huge axe in her hand.
Isaac was also stunned! Who was this woman he didn't recognize?
"Charlotte sis, I'm here!" Lily said and stood beside Charlotte. The little dog fell behind, panting, resting by the side. Ultimately, it couldn't match Lily's stamina and fell behind!
"Lily, you have a chance to go to the villa gate to protect Bella and the others. I'll catch these rats!" Charlotte whispered to Lily.
Just then, one of the figures on the ground suddenly sprang up and lunged at Charlotte.
"Not dead? Pretending to be dead?"
Without time to think, Charlotte instinctively aimed her gun at him.
"Bang!"
The bullet hit him, sending a spray of stones, but his figure was unaffected.
"Hmm?" Charlotte was surprised. Even Abigail's defensive ability couldn't withstand bullets!
"Charlotte sis, watch out!" Lily exclaimed.
Charlotte agilely dodged the opponent's heavy punch, countered with a kick with her right leg, striking the opponent. It felt like kicking a wall, making Charlotte's leg numb, but at least it pushed the opponent back two steps.
Charlotte finally saw the opponent's face and the skin exposed outside, which seemed to be covered with a layer of stone.
"Petrification?"
"Hehe, that's right! Little girl, I'm not afraid of your gun!" Theodore chuckled.
His awakened ability allowed him to attach a highly defensive Petrification layer to his body surface by absorbing soil and stones, making him fearless against most attacks! The only drawback was that activating the ability required some time to absorb soil, and his body became less agile.
Just now, the bullet hit his Petrification skin.
"Charlotte sis, let me deal with him! He's not afraid of guns, right? Then let him taste the power of my axe!" Lily said and raised the axe, fiercely swinging it towards him.
The huge axe seemed weightless as it floated towards Theodore. But wherever the axe went, it brought up a whistling gale.
"Theodore, watch out!" Jacob loudly warned.
Sensing something amiss, Theodore immediately rolled to the side, not attempting to resist.
With a loud bang, when he turned back to look, there was a deep pit where he had just stood!
"Damn it!"
He couldn't help but curse.
