After they had collected the supplies, they were about to leave the mall. "Wait!" Seven or eight young men and women came out from the side. The leader was a thin and tall man in his twenties who spoke on their behalf."Please bring us along!"
Li Xi and Zheng Ji didn't say anything and let the captain handle it. Zeng Zhiqiang was no longer the same as before. Ever since the team was formed, his mindset had changed. He was thinking for the team.
At this moment, he refused without hesitation.""Sorry, we don't bring anyone."
The tall and thin man still tried to plead, but a soft female voice interrupted him."Big brother, bring us along. I'll do anything you want!”A gorgeous woman was seducing Zeng Zhiqiang. Although she had not washed up for a few days and was a little disheveled, her good foundation made her somewhat attractive. However, Zeng Zhiqiang was unmoved by the wrong person. The woman tried to seduce Zheng Ji again, but he was disappointed at first glance. Zheng Ji only paid attention to Li Xi and no one else.
Li Xi originally wanted to watch the show, but seeing that there was nothing to see, he impatiently took the lead and walked out. The other two followed closely behind. Seeing that they couldn't keep him, they could only think of another way.
The three of them, including Yu Xiaowei in the car, were particularly eye-catching because of their neat skills and uniform attire. The other survivors also noticed them. Everyone had seen the scene just now.
The other survivors had come in groups. The few people just now were probably survivors of the mall. They had been trapped in the mall until these people arrived.
"Brother Cheng, these people all have guns. I think there's still a lot of stock in the car. Do you want to do something?" A young man with a string of earrings on his ear made a throat-cutting gesture at a man in a black jacket and sunglasses who looked like a leader.
The leader looked at Li Xi and the others and began to think seriously.
"Brother Cheng, I don't think it's appropriate. There were only four of them, but they could get their hands on guns, and they were fully equipped. Just now, he saw that they were all very skilled. It's best if we don't act rashly before we understand their situation. Otherwise, even if we succeed, our side will suffer heavy losses. This is not worth it." A bespectacled gentleman objected to the suggestion.
"Guo Rui, you're just a coward. Don't think that you understand the underworld just because you've come up with a few ideas. We're not ordinary hooligans. We have territory and power! Two years ago, we challenged two venues in one night. After that, everyone looked at us like obedient grandchildren. Out of the four of them, only one of them was slightly older. The other two were brats and one was a little girl. How powerful could they be?! We have more than twenty people! Don't you…what's that literary phrase again…right, to make others angry, to diminish your own prestige!”Piercings was quite pleased with himself after saying that. He felt that he knew how to use idioms.
The refined man called "Guo Rui" frowned, looking depressed and helpless as if he couldn't communicate with the other party.
The leader valued Guo Rui's intelligence and did not want to embarrass him. He comforted him,"Hua Zi is a boor, don't be calculative with him. However, what he said made sense this time. Our guns were all smuggled, so we didn't have many. A few days ago, we wanted to go to the police station to get some, but who knew that they would still be so strict in this chaotic world, causing us to lose a few brothers. These four people might not have such great abilities. They might have gotten it by luck. They didn't look like people from the country. Otherwise, why didn't they bring those people with them just now? We have more people here. Besides, we don't have to do it openly. There are many ways!”
The others also supported the small leader. Guo Rui had joined them temporarily after the apocalypse, so they naturally supported their own people.
Seeing that they did not listen to his advice, Guo Rui did not waste his breath. He had only been keeping them company at the last minute, and had not treated them sincerely. It was his duty to give them some advice. He was not optimistic about this operation, so he decided to hide and be ready to escape at any time.
" At night... knockout powder..." The leader whispered to his subordinates, his voice almost whispering. However, he did not expect that the distance he thought was safe to talk to was no different from talking loudly in Li Xi's ears.
Want to rob? Then let's see who's robbing who!
Li Xi sneered in his heart.
As soon as Li Xi's group set off, the other teams followed closely behind. Other than the team with ulterior motives, the other teams probably wanted more people to be safer.
"The twenty-some people behind us are planning to harm us.”Li Xi didn't plan to tell them everything. She just reminded them that she didn't want them to rely on her for everything in the future.
The other three didn't express any surprise. Zheng Ji had sensed it long ago. Although he did not know how to use his spiritual power, his perception was still sharp. Zeng Zhiqiang was experienced. Yu Xiaowei was a private detective, so he had an instinct for careful observation of people and things. Everyone was secretly wary of that group of people, but on the surface, they still looked ignorant.
That group of people did not follow Li Xi and the others closely. There was a five-man team in the middle to prevent the other party from being alerted.
When they encountered zombies and mutated animals on the way, the Hope Squad tacitly held back their strength in order to make it easier for the other party to underestimate them.
Along the way, Guo Rui carefully observed the reaction of the Hope Squad and judged their strength while planning his way out. His years of work experience allowed him to make very few mistakes in his judgment, at least in the general direction. Even though the Hope Squad did not show any signs of vigilance, and the strength of the enemy just now was lower than what he had observed before, the more he was like this, the more he was sure that the other party was not simple. It was very likely that they had already realized something and had taken precautions. He didn't want to remind Brother Cheng. Firstly, he might not believe it, and secondly, he didn't think highly of them. A leader who acted rashly and did not have any long-term vision would not have a future for the team he led.
At night, everyone came to a villa area and worked together to clean up the zombies in the area. They each chose an empty villa.
There were about 20 villas in this community, and there were still a few families who had not left their homes. Perhaps there were survivors who had been here before. They looked at the survivors with both vigilance and anticipation. These people had never left their homes since the apocalypse, so there should still be some food left. Otherwise, they wouldn't have stayed here. Their knowledge of the outside world only came from radio and television, and they did not have any personal experience. Facing people who had experienced the real apocalypse, they were curious and instinctively guarded.
The survivors who had settled in ignored the original residents. In just a few days, they had grown up quickly from the lessons of blood. Or rather, they were more realistic and rational.
The Hope Squad chose the smallest villa. The area was too big, so there was no sense of security.
Fortunately, there was no blackout or water shortage in this neighborhood. It was said that some areas had already started to have blackouts and water cut-offs, and the degree of damage was still increasing.
Li Xi tested the water quality. Fortunately, it was underground water and could be used.
The few of them were happy that they finally had a decent place to rest, but they did not let their guard down. After all, the potential crisis had not been resolved yet.
Li Xi knew that the other party would take action tonight, so he kept his mental power out (he would use his mental power with some restraint. Otherwise, if he accidentally used it too much, he would be weak and lose his combat power. In the worst case, he would faint). She didn't remind her teammates about the knockout powder because she wanted to test their adaptability. Moreover, she had a spray for the knockout powder (as long as it wasn't a particularly powerful knockout powder, it wouldn't be a problem).
Every night, they would arrange for someone to be on night duty. Zeng Zhiqiang volunteered to be on night duty tonight, and Li Xi naturally did not object. However, she would not really rest.
At around 2 AM, Li Xi had already " seen " two black shadows within the range of his mental power alert. They would not be so arrogant as to only send these two people. They should be scouts.
