Hengxing Shopping Mall is the most famous shopping mall in City B.

Floors 1-5 house a variety of restaurants, offering both Chinese and Western specialties. Floors 6-12 feature a wide range of brand-name stores, from jewelry to clothing, shoes, and bags. Floors 13-15 are a super-large shopping mall with a dazzling array of goods. Floors 16 to the top floor house various entertainment facilities, including a cinema, KTV, bars, a gym, and a hotel.

Lin Ruo didn't go to the supermarket on the 13th floor first. Instead, she started by sweeping up from the 10th floor. She spread her mental energy and noticed that no one was around before she began to collect supplies. Lin Ruo only collected some thick clothes, shoes, and some storage cabinets and hangers.

Then I went to a jewelry store, where all the jewelry display cases had been smashed open, and almost all the jewelry and watches inside had been taken.

Lin Ruo quietly packed up the rest and took them with her. Even a mosquito bite is still meat, and she didn't mind taking it for free.

As we went up floor by floor, the number of people increased as we got closer to the 13th floor, and many were looking around for useful things to take with them.

From the moment Lin Ruo saw people, she didn't linger downstairs and went straight to the supermarket area on the 13th floor.

The grocery section was nearly empty, as were the beverages. The vegetarian section was completely sold out, and no one was going to the meat section because it had already gone bad and was emitting a strong, foul odor.

It's clear that people have already started patronizing the Hengxing Shopping Mall.

She opened her backpack and started packing it. She only took some hot pot base, cooking seasonings, snacks, and daily necessities, and soon the backpack was full.

"I took these myself! You can go and get them yourselves!"

As soon as Lin Ruo arrived at the grain and oil section, she saw a group of people surrounding a thin man who was carrying a large bag of food. He had become the target of their hunt.

Even though there was plenty of food on the shelves around them, this group of people wouldn't take it; they just wouldn't let go of the man. That's human nature; to put it bluntly, they just wanted to bully you, and they enjoyed the pleasure of bullying you.

"I don't care if you took these things or not, I just want what's in your hands. You're going to give it to me or not!"

The person speaking stood in the middle of the group, holding a cleaver, and slowly approached the man.

Lin Ruo didn't want to meddle, so she turned and left.

Upon circling to the other side, they spotted a member of their Group B, a man named Kong Wenhao. He was carrying two 10-kilogram bags of rice in his left hand, a huge bag on his back filled to the brim, a bulging bag hanging in front of him, two full shopping bags hooked on his right hand, and a case of bottled water in his right arm.

This design truly pushes the limits of how much you can hold things.

"Sister Ruo!" Kong Wenhao, who was still shaken by the robbery, felt a surge of joy the moment he saw Lin Ruo! His savior had arrived!

Lin Ruo nodded, walked past him, and took a bag of rice and a bag of flour from the shelf behind him, carrying them in her left hand.

She drew a dagger from its sheath at her waist with her right hand, held it in her hand, and turned to ask Kong Wenhao, "I'm going back now, what about you?"

Kong Wenhao was overjoyed and immediately said, "I've got mine too, Sister Ruo, I'll go back with you."

Lin Ruo nodded and didn't go looking for the other two people. She would help them if she encountered them, since she had received their supplies as payment. If she didn't encounter them, she wouldn't look for them; it was up to fate.

As the two of them walked outside, they saw the group of people cut the thin man down to the ground, his blood staining the ground and the supply bag that the man had been clutching tightly. However, the supply bag was snatched from his hand shortly afterward.

"Wow! This girl is quite pretty, and she's clean and fresh."

The man who had been holding the cleaver immediately lit up when he saw Lin Ruo. His cleaver was still stained with the blood of the other man, and a few drops of blood had splattered on his face. Coupled with his lewd eyes and disgusting smile, he looked particularly ferocious.

As he spoke, the man led the people behind him toward them, his eyes scanning Lin Ruo up and down as if he were assessing merchandise.

Kong Wenhao nervously swallowed, but Lin Ruo pretended not to notice and didn't stop walking.

When the man saw that Lin Ruo ignored him, he became angry and raised his hand to grab Lin Ruo's shoulder. Naturally, Lin Ruo would not let him touch her. She turned her body slightly to the right and quickly slashed upwards with the dagger in her hand.

"Ah!" The man's left hand was cleanly sliced ​​off in an instant, and blood spurted out, splashing all over Kong Wenhao's face.

The man dropped his boning knife on the ground, gripped his left wrist tightly with his right hand, gritted his teeth to endure the pain, and looked at Lin Ruo with a fierce gaze.

"Damn it! Kill her!" The man turned around and shouted, grabbing the cleaver on the ground with his remaining right hand and slashing it fiercely at Lin Ruo.

Lin Ruo didn't stop. Since they had already made enemies, he would kill them all. Leaving a way out for the enemy was cutting off his own escape route.

She threw the rice and noodles in her hand to Kong Wenhao, who stopped them with his leg.

She swiftly thrust the dagger in her hand toward the man's neck. The man's knife froze in mid-air, and he fell straight to the ground with his eyes open.

Lin Ruo moved quickly, reaching the group of people in just a few steps. They all had knives and were slashing at her, but their movements were too slow in Lin Ruo's eyes. She simply dodged slightly to the side, her steps forward, her dagger flashing rapidly. Each swing left a trail of blood, each slash deadly, aimed specifically at the neck and chest.

In less than two minutes, five of the opposing team members had died. The remaining three were terrified and, ignoring their fallen comrades and supplies, turned and ran for their lives.
