The rustling sound was getting closer.
Lu Shiyan made a defensive gesture. Xiao Han and A'mo immediately spread out to the left and right, forming a triangular defense formation, protecting Su Wan in the middle. Su Wan followed Lu Shiyan closely, holding a pistol in hand.
In the darkness, several pairs of eyes flashing with faint green light peeked out from the corner of the stairs on the second floor.
"Mutated rat!" Xiao Han showed a trace of disgust on his face.
Seven or eight mutant mice, as big as domestic cats, were seen sprinting down the stairs with sharp fangs bared. Their fur was gray-black and shiny, their eyes flashed with bloodthirsty ferocity, and they moved as fast as the wind.
"Let's end this quickly and don't attract more." Lu Shiyan said coldly and threw several fireballs directly over.
Xiao Han was not to be outdone. He swung the short blade in his hand, and invisible wind blades shot out, cutting into pieces several mutant rats that tried to attack from the side.
Ah Mo stood calmly in front of Su Wan, with a silenced pistol in his hand. Tiny sparks spewed out from the muzzle, and every shot accurately hit the head of a mutant rat.
Su Wan also fired again.
The battle ended quickly, leaving seven or eight mutant rat corpses on the ground. The smell of blood in the air became stronger.
"Bah! So fucking disgusting!" Xiao Han kicked away the still twitching corpse of a mutant rat and wiped the blood that splashed on his face.
Lu Shiyan checked the surroundings and confirmed that there were no other threats before saying, "These things come in groups. Go upstairs and get your things and leave here."
The second floor is the men's clothing area and sports brand area. Like the first floor, this place has also been ransacked, but obviously not as thoroughly as the first floor. Many clothes are thrown on the ground randomly, some with tags still attached.
"It seems that the person who looted is quite picky." Xiao Han picked up a down jacket that looked relatively clean and tried it on himself. "This one is good, thick enough."
Su Wan also started to take action, and began to collect space crazily.
Lu Shiyan and A'mo were on guard at the side.
"Sister Su Wan, take some more socks and underwear. There's no such thing as too many!" Xiao Han instructed as he searched.
The corners of Su Wan's mouth twitched and she glared at him unhappily, but still did as she was told.
Soon, they swept through the clothing areas on the second and third floors. They made a great harvest, at least they didn't have to worry about basic clothing for this winter.
"Let's go to the mother and baby area on the fourth floor." Su Wan said with a hint of anticipation. There were things she and her baby needed most.
The maternity and baby care area on the fourth floor seemed tidier than the one downstairs, and there seemed to be fewer signs of looting. Perhaps because the survival rate of infants in the apocalypse was too low, these supplies were of little use to most survivors.
Milk powder, diapers, baby clothes, small quilts, cribs... Su Wan's eyes lit up when she saw them all. She put them into her space without thinking twice.
Lu Shiyan picked up a small rattle, weighed it in his hand, and put it back.
Xiao Han and A'mo were searching for some useful medicines and disinfectants on the other side.
Just as everyone was busy collecting supplies, the sound of light footsteps, accompanied by muffled voices, came from another entrance on the fourth floor.
"Boss, it seems like someone has been here!" A rough male voice sounded.
"Damn it! Hurry up! See if there is any milk powder and medicine left! Those women are pushing us so hard!" Another hoarse and cruel voice came with curses.
Lu Shiyan and Xiao Han looked at each other, and a fierce look flashed in their eyes.
"Someone is here." Lu Shiyan said briefly, signaling Su Wan and A'mo to stop.
Su Wan's heart suddenly tightened. Judging from the other party's tone, it was obvious that he was not a good person.
The footsteps were getting closer and closer, and soon, seven or eight men holding machetes and steel pipes appeared at the entrance of the maternal and child care area, cursing. They were ragged, fierce-looking, with the numbness and brutality unique to survivors of the apocalypse on their faces.
The leader was a burly bald man with a hideous scar on his face, extending from the left corner of his eye to his chin. When he saw Lu Shiyan and the others, he was stunned at first, and then a trace of greed and ferocity flashed in his eyes.
"Wow! I didn't expect there are fat sheep here!" Scarface grinned, revealing a mouthful of yellow teeth, "Brothers, it seems like we're lucky today!"
The men behind him also smiled maliciously and held their weapons tighter.
Xiao Han sneered, took a step forward, and said nonchalantly: "Hey guys, this mall is so big, there are plenty of good things, why do you have to grab what's in other people's bowls?"
Scarface narrowed his triangular eyes, looked up and down at Xiao Han, then looked at Lu Shiyan and Ah Mo behind him, and finally his gaze fell on Su Wan, with a gleam of lust in his eyes: "Boy, you are so arrogant! In this end times, whoever has the bigger fist gets the stuff! If you know what's good for you, leave the supplies you found and that girl behind, and I'll consider sparing your lives!"
Su Wan felt sickened by his naked look, frowned and hid behind Lu Shiyan.
Lu Shiyan took a step forward and completely blocked Su Wan behind him, exuding a cold murderous aura. His voice was cold and without a trace of warmth: "Get lost."
"Hey! If you don't accept my toast, you'll have to drink a forfeit!" Scarface's face darkened and he shouted, "Brothers, come on! Kill the men and leave the women alone!"
Before he could finish his words, several men behind him rushed up howling like hungry wolves.
"Looking for death!" Lu Shiyan's eyes flashed with cold light, and lightning instantly gushed out from his palm, turning into a thick electric snake, directly hitting the two men rushing in the front.
“Sizzle——”
A sharp sound of electric current was heard, accompanied by two shrill screams. The two men were instantly electrified and their bodies were charred black. They fell to the ground with smoke coming out of them, twitched a few times, and then became motionless.
This sudden scene shocked Scarface and his remaining men. They didn't expect that the other party was actually a superpower, and so powerful!
"Super...superpower!" Scarface's voice trembled slightly, and the ferocity on his face was replaced by fear.
Xiao Han sneered, and rushed into the crowd like a ghost. Wind blades gathered at his fingertips, and every time he swung, a splash of blood was created.
A'mo also pulled out his gun, pointed it at those who tried to escape or resist, and calmly shot.
The battle was almost a one-sided massacre.
Seeing that the situation was not good, Scarface turned around and wanted to run.
"Want to run?" A murderous look flashed in Lu Shiyan's eyes. His body moved like lightning and he caught up in an instant. He chopped the scarred man's neck with a hand knife containing the power of thunder.
With a crisp "crack" sound, Scarface fell down limply without even having time to scream.
In just a few minutes, seven or eight aggressive gangsters were all killed.
The strong smell of blood permeated the entire mother and baby area.
Su Wan was used to seeing Lu Shiyan killing people. How should I put it, that was kind of handsome!
Xiao Han whistled, walked to Scarface's body, and kicked it: "You are such an ignorant person, you dare to mess with me."
Lu Shiyan thought Su Wan would be as scared as before, but he didn't expect her to look at him with envy.
Lu Shiyan coughed awkwardly twice. "Ahem... Let's get rid of these bodies, collect the supplies, and leave here as soon as possible." Lu Shiyan withdrew his hand, and his voice returned to its usual cold and hard tone.
Su Wan's heart skipped a beat and her cheeks felt a little hot.
Su Wan took a deep breath, calmed herself down, and continued collecting maternal and child supplies.
Soon, they plundered all the useful supplies on the fourth floor. Su Wan's space was almost filled with all kinds of clothes, food, medicines, and maternal and child supplies.
"Let's go to the supermarket on the B1 floor. There should be a lot of canned food and drinking water there." Lu Shiyan said.
The supermarket on the underground first floor was also in a mess, with shelves collapsed and goods scattered all over the floor. But just as Lu Shiyan expected, there were indeed a lot of canned food, compressed biscuits and bottled water that had not been looted.
Everyone took action again and put all the food and water that could be preserved for a long time into Su Wan's space.
Su Wan always felt something was wrong, like there were claws scratching the wall, and there were a lot of them... "No, we have to leave here quickly."
