Chapter 393 Departure, Jingmao!
Xie Lin'an crossed his arms and leaned against the sideboard of the truck bed, his tone clearly showing his dissatisfaction.
"I really don't understand you guys, you look like idiots. Before they came back, we were all doing just fine in the apocalypse, weren't we? What happened? Why do we have to do everything they say just because they're back? Why should we?"
He Huairang frowned: "Xie Lin'an, in the apocalypse, strength speaks for itself! If you're not convinced, then you'd better be tough and not eat the supplies they find in the base!"
Before he could finish speaking, Xie Linlin grabbed Xie Lin'an's ear with such force that he instantly winced.
"Xie Lin'an, I think you're just asking for trouble!" Xie Linlin's eyebrows shot up, and her voice rose.
"If you're really not convinced, go back and hand over a challenge in a fair and square manner! If you're a man, you should earn your right to speak through your own abilities. What kind of ability is it to hide here and whine and make sarcastic remarks?"
Xie Lin'an gasped in pain, both angry and annoyed: "Xie Linlin! I'm your own brother! How can you be siding with outsiders?"
Xie Linlin not only didn't let go, but gripped her even tighter: "Xie Lin'an, listen carefully! Some people are born to be looked up to."
If you're not convinced, then do everything in your power to become stronger and become that kind of person!
Instead of acting like a coward and only spouting vulgar, tasteless drivel!
"I can't be bothered with you!" Xie Lin'an angrily slapped his sister's hand away, turned his head away, and sulked to himself.
The argument wasn't loud, but it was still overheard by Sang Che and Sang Yan who were nearby.
Sang Yan frowned slightly, leaned close to Sang Che's ear, and whispered in a voice only the two of them could hear: "Brother, judging from this... this person harbors a lot of resentment. Will he do anything to hurt Nan Nan and the others?"
Sang Che's eyes turned slightly cold. His gaze lingered on Xie Lin'an's back for a moment before he replied in a low voice, "Human hearts are unpredictable... We should keep a closer eye on things from now on, just in case."
Sang Yan nodded slightly, keeping this potential hazard in mind.
The convoy continued forward, easily dispatching any stray zombies it encountered along the way.
The closer you get to the commercial center, the more the surrounding buildings reveal traces of its former prosperity...
When the massive Jingmao Commercial City complex finally came into view, Lu Nange and Shi Xu extended their spiritual energy forward.
The commercial city is surrounded by a food street, and now zombies are roaming the streets...
"Stop the car." Lu Nange's voice came through the walkie-talkie.
The five cars braked to a stop at the same time, their tires screeching as they rubbed against the road.
The superhumans quickly got off the bus and lined up.
Sunlight shone on these young faces, revealing tension, excitement, but above all, determination and resolve...
With a wave of his hand, Lu Nange's five cars vanished instantly.
Although the 'Flameheart' ability users appeared expressionless on the surface, their eyes shone with admiration, their hearts already pounding with excitement...
[Miss Lu has stored all five cars in her space. Has Miss Lu upgraded her space management system again?]
[I heard Miss Lu has dual elemental abilities; her spatial ability is low-level, and her wind ability is level six... Ahhh, that's so cool!]
......
Chi Yanzhou stood in front of everyone and began to assign teams.
"There are fifty of you in total, listen up..."
Sang Che and Sang Yan, Xie Linlin and Xie Lin'an, He Huaijing and Ren Lei, He Huairang and Shen Feiyang, Chi Qi and Wu Enxu, are paired up.
Now begin selecting team members, ten people per team. You have only three minutes to complete the grouping.
"Received, Captain Chi!" Sang Che and the other ten people said in unison, and then quickly turned to face the crowd.
Just as the fifty people were being divided into groups, Lu Nange and her group moved a few steps to the side, formed a small circle, and began to allocate their combat strength.
Chi Yanzhou looked at his companions beside him: "Today's situation is special, so we'll have to split up into teams."
Lu Nange pondered for a moment, her gaze shifting between Chi Yanzhou and Gu Qi: "You and Brother Qi, your water and lightning abilities complement each other, allowing you to achieve a combination of control and burst damage. How about you two team up?"
Chi Yanzhou and Gu Qi nodded simultaneously.
"Sister, what about us?" He Zhuo asked eagerly, leaning forward with a look of anticipation on his face.
Lu Nange: "Brother, Zhuo Ge, and Shi Xu, the three of you are all level five ability users, and you are the top combat force in the team."
Each of you will need to take on the responsibility of leading a team, therefore, each of you will need to choose another person to assist you in this operation.
Shi Xu: "Nan Nan, you can just assign the tasks directly. We'll follow your instructions."
Everyone nodded in agreement...
Little Lu Beiye clung tightly to his older sister's arm, his face clearly saying, "I have to be in a group with my sister."
Lu Nange gently ruffled his soft hair.
“Brother, you’ll be in a group with Sister Xingyou, Shixu, you’ll be in a group with Brother Xian, and Zhuo, you’ll be in a group with Brother Chiyi.”
"Nan Nan, what about me?" Gu Wan looked at Lu Nange expectantly.
“You, me, and Aye form a group!” Lu Nange said, then looked at Wen Qing, who was standing quietly to the side.
"Sister Wenqing, you should stay with Gangzi. There are a lot of people today, and in the end, we'll have to rely on you if anyone gets hurt."
Gu Wan and Wen Qing were clearly satisfied with the arrangement and nodded in agreement.
Chi Yanzhou noticed Lu Nange's intention and raised an eyebrow: "Nannan, are you planning to clear the way with Aye and Gu Wan?"
Lu Nange: "Mm!"
Chi Yanzhou: "Then Aqi and I will go with you!"
Lu Nange nodded: "We don't have a detailed map of the shopping mall, but according to your description, the supermarket is in the tallest building in the middle."
These food streets on the outskirts were probably looted early on; there's little chance they'll have any supplies left.
She pointed to the main building in the middle: "We're heading straight for the middle! We and Yan Ge's team will clear the way from the front! The sides and the rear are your responsibility."
Shi Xu: "Then our group will be responsible for the right side."
He Zhuo: "Chi Yi and I will take care of the left side!"
Lu Xici and Luo Xingyou exchanged a glance: "We'll cover the rear."
With clear division of labor, Lu Nange and her group quickly turned around and faced the five teams that had already been divided into groups.
Sang Che and the others stood at the front of their respective teams: "Report! Fifty people have been divided into teams, please give instructions!"
Chi Yanzhou: "Sang Che, your team, follow Nan Nan. Xie Linlin, your team, follow me and Gu Qi. Our two teams will be responsible for clearing the way!"
"Roger that, Captain Chi!" Sang Che and Xie Linlin responded in unison.
"He Huaijing, your team will follow He Zhuo and be responsible for the left flank!"
"He Huairang, your team will follow Shi Xu and be responsible for the right flank!"
"Chi Qi, your team will follow Lu Xici and cover the rear!"
“Received, Captain Chi!” He Huaijing, He Huairang, and Chi Qi replied.
Lu Nange and her group stood side by side at the very front of the procession, with over fifty pairs of eyes fixed on the commercial city.
The sunlight slanted in from behind them, casting long, straight shadows.
The air was thick with tension and a sense of impending doom.
"Set off!"
