Lu Xinyi, who was in the lead, first used his mental power to observe the entire cinema, and after confirming that the patrol team was not in the cinema, he led everyone out of the theater.

The group left the cinema quietly, carefully avoiding the patrol team, and went downstairs silently along the safe passage.

But when they reached the second floor, Lu Xinyi suddenly raised her hand and asked everyone to stop.

"What's wrong?" Hua Dai, who was standing a few steps behind her, asked in a low and puzzled voice.

Lu Xinyi narrowed his eyes slightly, and his mental power spread outward, covering the entire area within a radius of 500 meters.

Then--

"Someone is approaching this way."

She opened her eyes, with a hint of coldness in them.

"Who would come here so late at night?" Hua Dai frowned and asked, "Are there many people?"

Although Lu Xinyi didn't say it explicitly, Hua Dai could guess from her performance that she had psychic abilities.

Therefore, Hua Dai did not doubt her words.

"A lot." Lu Xinyi's tone was a little solemn, "And they are well-equipped. They are an armed team."

"Armed troops?" Hua Dai's voice unconsciously rose a few notes, but she was afraid of being discovered so she quickly covered her mouth and whispered, "Where did the armed troops in this city come from?"

M Base is already the official base of M Province. Apart from M Base which has a large number of armed equipment, even if other civilian bases have firearms and weapons, they are only a minority after all.

It is obviously impossible to form a well-equipped armed force in China, where guns are banned.

But things are impermanent.

Even the end of the world has arrived, so the appearance of armed forces in the city doesn't seem to be something unimaginable.

"Is it heading towards the mall?" Shan Xiong said nervously in the crowd, "I have to notify Tan Jiashuo quickly and tell him to get ready."

After saying that, he turned around and went upstairs.

Lu Xinyi did not stop her.

Given the relationship between Shan Xiong and Tan Jiashuo, she couldn't stop it.

Furthermore, the group of people outside were indeed heading towards the mall.

Considering that Tan Jiashuo came back injured during the day, maybe he is related to this group of people.

"Let's go back upstairs first." Lu Xinyi said.

Everyone returned to the fourth floor along the stairs, but hid in the emergency passage and did not go out immediately.

"You guys hide here, I'm going to find Tan Jiashuo." Shan Xiong said seriously, "If I don't show up in ten minutes, you guys find a way to escape."

"Boss!"

"Be obedient!" Shan Xiong said seriously, "If I don't make it out alive, Xiongba Base will be handed over to you. We must hold on to our base!"

"Boss!"

Seeing his younger brothers' reluctant expressions, Shan Xiong gave them a soothing smile, then turned around and left resolutely.

"Miss Lu, where are the people outside?" Hua Dai asked in a low voice.

After Lu Xinyi released his mental power to observe, he said, "It's about a hundred meters away from the mall."

"One hundred meters, that's fast." Hua Dai was a little nervous, "How many people are there on the other side?"

There are more than a dozen people in their group, and Tan Jiashuo's group has about thirty or forty people. Together, we estimate there are only about fifty people.

But Lu Xinyi said that the group outside was a well-equipped armed force with quite a few people, and he didn't know if the fifty or so of them could handle it.

Lu Xinyi replied: "Forty or fifty people, in addition to armored vehicles and guns, there must be people with special abilities."

Forty or fifty people?

That's not equal to their numbers.

Hua Dai's brows were tightly knitted and her expression became increasingly solemn.

When the others heard the conversation between the two, their expressions also looked unhappy.

"They may not necessarily come to attack the mall." Yu Nan tried to comfort everyone in a calm and relaxed tone, "Maybe we can try to communicate with them before they take action."

"Let's see the situation first." Lu Xinyi said.

Although her supplies would be exposed, when a real gunfight came, she could only take out guns, bombs and other hot weapons from the space for everyone to use.

Here, everyone was waiting nervously and anxiously.

On the other side, Shan Xiong took the initiative to find the patrol team and asked them to take him to see Tan Jiashuo.

Although the patrol team was surprised how he escaped, everyone knew that this man had a special relationship with Tan Jiashuo.

Therefore, when they heard that he wanted to see Tan Jiashuo, the patrol team took him to the cinema where Tan Jiashuo was.

When Tan Jiashuo heard the noise and walked out with a gun in his hand, the first person he saw was Shan Xiong, who looked anxious.

Before he could ask Shan Xiong how he got out, Shan Xiong said anxiously: "There is a well-equipped armed team outside the mall! Hurry up and take your people to defend!"

"What?" Tan Jiashuo looked at him in confusion. "What armed group? Where did the armed group come from in the city?"

They have been in the city for more than half a year. I can’t say anything else, but they have been to many places in the Hi-Tech Zone and are quite familiar with it.

There are indeed many survivors hiding in the city, but everyone is living quietly in the dark. How can there be any armed forces?

Their team of thirty or forty people is considered large in the city.

Therefore, Tan Jiashuo did not believe what Shan Xiong said.

What's more, he no longer had any trust in Shan Xiong.

"Shan Xiong, don't think I will let you go just because you said that!" Tan Jiashuo snorted coldly, "Why? After locking you up for a few days, you finally can't stand it anymore and want to escape?"

As he spoke, he looked towards the theater where Shan Xiong and others were imprisoned.

"Where are the others? Did they all escape?"

"Now is not the time to talk about this!" Shan Xiong said anxiously, "I really didn't lie to you! There really is an armed group outside!"

"Did you see it with your own eyes?"

"I--"

Shan Xiong was stunned.

He didn't see it with his own eyes.

No one saw it, it was Lu Xinyi who said it.

But after spending the past few days together, he had developed an instinctive trust in Lu Xinyi's words.

Although this sense of trust was somewhat mysterious, he himself couldn't explain it clearly.

But I believed it instinctively.

Or maybe it was because Hua Dai and the others believed in Lu Xinyi.

So, he also chose to believe.

His silence caught Tan Jiashuo's eyes, and he couldn't help but sneer: "You didn't see it with your own eyes, and you want me to believe you? Shan Xiong, why do you think I will believe you? You traitor!"

Shan Xiong opened his mouth, speechless for a moment.

Yes, why should he make Tan Jiashuo believe him?

However, when he thought of an armed group of unknown origin coming outside, he became very anxious.

"Tan Jiashuo, listen to me, I really didn't lie to you, wake up your people quickly and get everyone ready!"

"I don't believe a word you say!"

After Tan Jiashuo finished speaking in a cold voice, he ordered the patrol team nearby to take Shan Xiong away and lock him up.

And at this moment——

Boom!

A loud explosion suddenly sounded.

The entire shopping mall shook.

Everyone was immediately stunned, their faces filled with shock and vigilance.

"Tan Jiashuo, I didn't lie to you!" Shan Xiong came back to his senses and shouted, "I really didn't lie to you!"

Tan Jiashuo stared at him in a daze, thinking, he really didn't lie.
