Chapter 1064 The Next Person
The squad leader was slightly taken aback. He couldn't see it after half an hour? Why couldn't he see it?
They either disappeared, or they didn't disappear; they're just invisible to ordinary people, but they've always been there, relentlessly pursuing their enemies.
If it's the latter... the squad leader couldn't help but shudder, feeling a mix of fear and inexplicable excitement!
Serves them right! These trashy bastards who don't uphold martial ethics should be taught a lesson like this, so that those who are always thinking about how to make things difficult for their family will know that their family is not easy to bully!
"I heard from Xiao Jihui that there are six people in this group, two of whom are on this side. Where are the other four?"
When the squad leader heard Ye Wanxi ask about this, he quickly told her all the information he had received not long ago.
"The other four are all on the basement level in the center of the mall." The squad leader pointed to the mall map icon at the entrance of the clothing store. "After they entered, they locked the mall doors and searched for people in each store. Those who resisted were... and those who didn't were all captured and brought to this place."
Ye Wanxi frowned slightly: "Why are they arresting people?"
“These people are perverts who enjoy robbing and killing. Those who resist are killed, while those who do not resist are gathered together and used for… extortion.”
"Extortion?" Ye Wanxi looked surprised. "Extortion by whom?"
The squad leader's expression was subtle, and he remained silent for a long time.
Seeing his expression, Ye Wanxi understood everything.
"These people are really bold, running into the tiger's den and even daring to pull hairs from the tiger's mouth."
However, considering that one of them is a spatial ability user, it's not hard to understand.
He went to a shopping mall in another country, killed so many people, kidnapped survivors, extorted huge ransoms, and then disappeared without a trace in front of hundreds of millions or even billions of people. How carefree and unrestrained was that?
As a result of this incident, these six people will become legends remembered by countless people, while they and their country, who were powerless to retaliate against their provocations, will become a laughing stock.
Upon realizing this, everyone's face darkened.
"Miss Ye..."
"You two go and rescue those who haven't been found yet, the two of us will go find them."
"Isn't it too risky for just the two of you?"
"If there are fewer people, we are less likely to be discovered. Don't worry, we have the ability to protect ourselves and will do our best to protect the safety of others."
Seeing that she was determined to leave, and looking at the two people lying on the ground, the squad leader gritted his teeth and decided to trust Ye Wanxi.
"This is our team's wireless headset, connected to the headquarters' communication lines, which will provide you with real-time information."
Ye Wanxi and Qi Yingxuan took the earphones handed to them by the squad leader and put them on.
"After those men gathered the people together, they declared that if they did not deliver the money and goods they demanded, they would kill one person every half hour. Twenty-three minutes had passed since their last killing."
That means they only have seven minutes left.
Upon hearing this, the two disappeared instantly.
The squad leader watched the two disappear, his eyes nearly popping out of their sockets. It took him a while to react before he hurriedly said through his earpiece, "I'm leaving the hostages in the underground mall to you two. We'll settle the survivors on the perimeter and head over to provide support right away."
At this moment, inside a supermarket on the basement floor of the mall, the lights were on, and goods were scattered all over the floor.
The hundred or so people huddled together like quails, shoulder to shoulder, crouching with their heads in their hands.
Not far in front of them, a foreign boy with a very flamboyant hairstyle was playing with a fire on and off.
The game was clearly boring, and before long, the boy lost patience, saying with a frustrated expression, "Why haven't Annie and Wilson come back yet?"
Sitting next to him was a little girl wearing a bright red Lolita dress and holding a doll.
"You know their tempers. Letting them bring hostages is just giving them the opportunity to play a killing game. They might be on a killing spree somewhere right now and won't be back anytime soon."
“Nanali is right. It’s more practical to wait for the reward for our trip than to wait for them.”
The speaker was a black-haired boy with spiky hair. His face was as white as a vampire from a horror story, and you could vaguely see the veins under his skin.
As he spoke, the lights in the supermarket began to flicker, becoming extremely glaring.
The punk teenager curled his lip: "It's been almost half an hour, and there's still no sound. I even left the door open for them."
"It's okay, the longer we wait, the more fun this game will be." The little girl in red said, suddenly turning her head to look at the hundred or so people squatting in front of her.
"Half an hour is almost up, we can pick out some small toys first."
Upon hearing this, both boys became interested.
The punk teenager licked his lips and said excitedly, "This time it's my turn. I'm going to burn this little toy to charcoal."
"No, it's my turn. I'm going to drain its blood and make it into a specimen."
The more than one hundred people squatting there listened to the three people in front of them discussing the life and death of one of them as if they were discussing the fate of a trinket, and they felt a chill run down their spines while also being unable to suppress their anger and annoyance.
Unfortunately, no one dared to resist.
Before this, they had witnessed these people kill many who resisted them, including some of the superhumans they regarded as saviors.
If even such powerful superhumans can't defeat them, let alone ordinary people like them who are powerless to even kill a chicken.
The crowd listened with despair as the three men jokingly discussed their deaths and then, in a comical manner, decided who would be next to strike.
At that moment, the alarm clock rang precisely half an hour later.
The three demons sitting in front of them simultaneously turned their gazes to the crowd below, scanning them with the eyes of someone selecting objects, and finally settling on an old woman.
"You, it's you, come out here."
The punk teenager pointed at the old woman, raising his chin and waiting for her to get up on her own.
The old lady was surprised to be chosen. She stood there for a while before staring at him with wide eyes in horror.
Beside her was an older gentleman, who was also her husband.
Upon seeing his wife being chosen, the old man quickly embraced her and cried out, "No...don't kill my wife, kill me instead."
"No, no, no, this can't be done." How could the old woman let her husband die in her place? She hurriedly tried to get up, "I...I'll go there, I'll go there now."
The old lady tried to get up, but the old man held her tightly.
The punk teenager didn't care how deep the couple's relationship was. Seeing this scene, he became increasingly impatient: "What are you dawdling for? Hurry up and come over. If you don't come out, I'll kill you all and send a few more down to join you!"
