What do we do now?
At this moment, a man stood up and said, "We've been rescuing people for so long. Let's not even talk about the situation outside. Those people downstairs haven't escaped yet. By the time we get there, it'll probably be too late."
From their position, they could see what was happening on the first floor. Since the main entrance was blocked, they could naturally sense that the group of people trapped on the first floor were trapped.
Almost an hour has passed, and the people outside still can't get in. If they continue to wait, who knows what might happen next?
"Do you have a plan? We don't even have a chance to get down, how can we save ourselves!"
The other person couldn't hold back any longer and vented their pent-up emotions and anger on the person who had spoken earlier.
"If I had a solution, would I need to stay with you all? I spoke up so that you could work together to figure out how to escape from here. What's the point of yelling at me now!"
As the two of them argued, others were also caught up in it and joined in.
Most people regretted coming here when they had nothing else to do.
Now things are really bad; we can't get out, and our lives are still in danger.
If someone dies innocently like this, who can they complain to?
"Okay, stop arguing!"
The assistant couldn't stand it anymore and scolded and interrupted the unnecessary argument.
As soon as the assistant spoke, everyone else looked at her.
“You all know our current situation. Continuing to argue won’t lead to any solutions. It’s more important that we put aside our prejudices and discuss how to get saved.”
The assistant is right.
In the current situation, focusing solely on arguing will only increase the risks and may even cause division and discord.
The most important thing now is to gather everyone's thoughts and discuss together how to be rescued.
The assistant's words were effective.
The confrontational atmosphere gradually disappeared, and although there were still some gaps, everyone was willing to cooperate.
After discussing it for a long time, no one could come up with a good solution.
After all, there are only two ways to get down.
The escape route is locked at the stairwell, and they don't have the equipment to break it open.
We had no choice but to give up on that side.
Forget about the escalator location.
I don't know what the other party used.
It was broken in the middle, with a distance of three meters between them.
Let alone girls, even boys might not be able to jump over it.
Even if we can jump over, what if there are traps on the other side?
They wouldn't dare to joke about their own lives and pave the way for others.
As for the elevator, it's useless when the department store loses power.
It's impossible to let them open the ladder door and slowly slide down the cable.
This person has no experience; it would be ridiculous if they fell and died.
And I'm also very scared, what if the power suddenly comes back on, and then the elevator goes up and down on its own...?
[...]
On the other side.
Several burly men wearing black hoods looked toward the sixth-floor safe zone.
The pair of eyes that were exposed were fierce and sharp.
"What a hassle. We didn't manage to kill them all in one go. Now we have to do it ourselves."
"Hey, hey, hey, isn't this your fault? If your electronic bomb hadn't been so far off course, would we still be standing here?"
"ha?"
One of them turned around and said coldly and unhappily, "So, you're blaming me?"
"Otherwise!"
The man wasn't afraid; he just stared intently at the response.
The two men stared at each other with eyes that seemed to want to kill each other. The others did not try to mediate, but instead watched the spectacle with great interest.
They only calmed down a little when someone stepped forward.
"interesting?"
Upon hearing this, the two who had been at odds froze, neither daring to respond.
With their elder brother speaking up, how could they dare to talk back?
The eldest brother coldly sized up the two men, and after seeing them lower their heads, he looked at the others.
Only when everyone lowered their heads and dared not look at him did the eldest brother say, "Don't waste any more time. We didn't complete this mission perfectly, and they are already very dissatisfied with us. You only got half an hour to do this much. Not only are they dissatisfied, but I am also dissatisfied."
"..."
The crowd remained silent. After all, what they said was true. They had already given them half an hour, and this was the result. It was normal to be dissatisfied.
However, no one expected that the girl named Jiang Shiyu would suddenly change her position to attend the exchange meeting, which was completely inconsistent with the intelligence received.
Otherwise, there would be no need for a second explosion, and they wouldn't have had to do it themselves.
Moreover, the half hour gained is now useless.
There are people everywhere outside; the only way to escape is by finding another way.
Whether it was their bad luck or Jiang Shiyu's good luck, a traffic jam actually occurred within half an hour of blocking traffic.
The fact that it inexplicably attracted attention made them afraid to let their guard down and prompt them to plant another bomb.
Otherwise, regardless of whether it's a sudden reversal or not.
Jiang Shiyu is definitely going to die.
It's impossible that they'll need to intervene again.
The eldest brother didn't say much either.
With a glance, the others regained their composure, exuding a murderous aura.
Armed with weapons, they easily ascended to the sixth floor following a pre-arranged route.
The dozen or so people who were staying in the safe zone had not yet reached a conclusion when these few people appeared, causing a stir.
One of them asked blankly, "Are you here to rescue us?"
"hehe……"
Upon hearing this, they all laughed, a bloodthirsty laugh.
One of them glanced at his elder brother, and seeing that he didn't react, stepped forward and coldly replied, "Yes, we're here to rescue you..."
"Really? That's wonderful..."
Bang--!
Before the man could even feel the surprise, a bullet pierced his forehead.
The burly man who fired the shot held up the muzzle of his gun, blew on it lightly, and glanced around disdainfully.
That cold gaze instantly turned the remaining people pale, their bodies trembling with fear.
"We have indeed come to save you, but... we will not send you to heaven, but to hell..."
"Ha ha ha ha!"
His words caused his brothers behind him to burst into laughter.
Even their eldest brother had a slight smile playing on his lips.
Simply because the target he needed to kill was right here.
Although I was being protected in the back, it didn't matter.
A group of people who are completely defenseless can be dealt with by just a few bullets.
Of course, one should also know how to resist.
When Jiang Shiyu, protected by her assistant, witnessed the cruelty of the other party and the way they were staring at her, she was deeply hurt.
She realized that this group of people were indeed after her.
Jiang Shiyu was very scared and confused.
She didn't understand what she had done wrong, or why she had to suffer like this.
Mingming, she just wanted to live a simple life.
