"Yes, they're on our side."

Su Lin stepped forward, smiling broadly as she peeked out and quickly scanned the underground mall.

At the entrance to the downhill slope, a crowd of men and women stood, dozens of people holding crude weapons, looking up at the top with terrified expressions.

These people were dressed in tattered and filthy clothes, some of them covered in blood, their faces etched with pain and exhaustion.

At the very front of the crowd stood a young man holding a unique crossbow, staring at Su Lin and the fat man with a look of astonishment.

He was also a survivor.

Su Lin could tell at a glance that although neither of them had any clear markings or identification marks on their bodies, they understood each other's identities the moment they made eye contact.

This may be due to the game mechanics of the escape game, which allows survivors to quickly distinguish the identities of other players.

This guy was the only survivor.

Su Lin squinted and reached out to press down on the fat man's hidden right hand, which was holding the gun, signaling him to put away his weapon.

Meanwhile, Su Lin's smile remained warm and friendly: "Hey buddy, you're an escape player too, right? I saw there was a mission here and was thinking of coming over to try my luck."

"A mission? We accepted it."

The man with the crossbow answered in a deep voice, not letting his guard down.

"It's nothing, we're just here to try our luck."

Su Lin smiled and said, "Is the mission complete? If it is, let's go together."

Su Lin extended a warm invitation: "Many hands make light work, let's go to the escape point together."

"Yes! Yes!"

Song Daqiang chimed in from the side, pulling Anna over with him: "There are three of us, and with you guys, that makes six! We can fight the zombies even faster and escape with ease!"

To be honest, Song Daqiang's acting skills are a bit clumsy, but Anna is a woman, and more importantly, a beautiful and elegant woman.

Her appearance made the crossbowman lower his guard a little.

Judging by appearance is a human weakness. Few men are particularly wary of beautiful women, especially a quiet, demure, and delicate girl like Anna, who exudes the pitiful charm of a southern woman.

"No, thank you."

The man with the crossbow hesitated before refusing, "My mission isn't finished yet. You should escape first."

His intuition told him that the group of women were probably not bad people, but he still didn't dare to take the risk.

"Then we'll help you."

Song Daqiang had already figured out Su Lin's plan, and he answered without hesitation: "What kind of task is it? We'll take care of it for you. You can give me some Little Green or Little Blue as a reward."

"Now that we're in this mess, the most important thing is to get out of here together."

"Unity is the greatest courage of humankind!"

Song Daqiang spoke with righteous indignation, and the man with the crossbow was somewhat moved. Before he could speak, many people in the crowd next to him nodded in agreement: "That's right. What kind of world is this? Only by uniting can we get ahead."

"Xiao Song, let them help you. You're all on the same side, aren't you?"

"Since they want to help, that's a wonderful thing!"

"Don't worry, there are many of us here, and we're not afraid of anyone with bad intentions."

The men and women in the crowd whispered their advice, and the man with the crossbow named Xiao Song only had a slight flicker in his eyes before finally nodding reluctantly: "Okay, I'll trust you this once. Let's do the mission together and then escape together."

Su Lin could tell that this kid had ill intentions.

Xiao Song clearly intended to take advantage of Su Lin and the others, but he lacked a suitable reason.

But it doesn't matter, Su Lin will give him a suitable reason.

Because Su Lin didn't have good intentions either.

"Ah, that's more like it!"

Song Daqiang chuckled and walked down without hesitation. He came to the man with the crossbow and put his arm around him: "You're also surnamed Song? We're family! What's this mission...? Let's do it after dawn, and then we can leave together. There's still time."

Song Daqiang tried to get on Xiao Song's good side, but Xiao Song wasn't buying it. He shook off Song Daqiang's hand and took a few steps back warily: "The mission isn't that simple. We have to kill several waves of zombies. It's not that easy at all."

"Are we going to hold out until dark?"

Su Lin led Anna downstairs. He had already sheathed his Tang sword, concealed a revolver at his waist, and approached Xiao Song bare-handed and without any threat.

"Waves of zombies will appear, and the mission is to protect these people until dawn, right?"

Su Lin asked with a smile. A look of surprise flashed in Xiao Song's eyes. He didn't expect that the young man in front of him had such a clear mind and could see the key to the mission at a glance.

He was unaware, of course, that Su Lin possessed exceptional observational skills on the battlefield and had already deduced from the remains and positions of the zombies at the entrance that these were two different groups of zombies.

By combining the mission location with the "NPC" group, it's not difficult to analyze the mission content.

"right."

Xiao Song looked at Su Lin warily, hesitated for a moment, and then nodded in agreement: "There are three waves left, and the number of each wave will increase."

"It's okay, we'll help you."

Su Lin nodded, and before Xiao Song could even think of how to persuade the team in front of him, he readily promised, "You rest well here. When the zombies come, we'll take their place!"

Xiao Song looked at Su Lin with some surprise: "You agreed so readily? Aren't you afraid of being eaten by zombies?"

"Of course I'm scared, but I still think we need to stick together to escape."

Su Lin nodded frankly and looked sincerely at Xiao Song: "We came here inexplicably. Shouldn't we escape together and find the truth? Instead of being wary of each other, let's be honest and escape as soon as possible."
