An hour later, Ding Qi and his entourage began to leave the entertainment venue in batches, heading towards a large supermarket in the villa district.

  Song Tianhu did not stay in some high-end venues, but lived in a large supermarket with a lot of food, as the base for doing security work.

  Actually, many survivors can't leave Song Tianhu's side because he has taken control of the entire villa district's food resources. Once the surrounding villas' food is completely looted, it will be depleted quickly, and only his place can satisfy the food needs of a large group of people, especially those weak old humans who don't have the ability to hunt zombies. Food is their only necessity for survival. So they can't bear the days without food and don't want to go out into the terrifying outside world.

  Most survivors are also struggling to survive, looking for opportunities to become new humans. However, once they lose their will, they are nothing but empty shells of the undead, where is the unyielding will to activate the genetic bloodline to become a new human?

  Those who fear death and covet life will never accomplish great things.

  ……

  After Ding Qi and the others set off, Mu Xiao and An Rongru secretly followed them from a distance.

  "As expected, they have a new human of the spiritual system."

  Mù xiāo was walking slowly and quietly in the night, with ān róng rú doing reconnaissance on life fluctuations beside him. He wasn't afraid of losing track of jiǎn huán yáo's small team, as he could focus his attention on spiritual fluctuations. His pure spiritual power was extremely sensitive and discovered that there were more than two spiritual system new humans among the property owners.

  "If those security guards were also spiritual new humans, they might have discovered the owner's side, then wouldn't their raid be ineffective?" An Rongru asked in puzzlement.

  "They may have a barrier to detect each other's spiritual power, and there are many types of spiritual power. The security side may not necessarily have the ability to detect spiritual power." Mu Xiao sensed the movement in the darkness and said: "I think the owner's side may have a kind of detection spirit, which would trigger my spiritual power's keen sense."

  If Mu Xiao's spiritual power wasn't a pure spiritual source, he wouldn't have been able to detect this kind of fluctuation. Since the pure spirit is the origin of all spiritual abilities, he was only vaguely aware of the other person's spirit, but his awareness had only one target, like a locator, and couldn't clearly determine who the other person was or where others were located.

  Soon after, Jian Huan Yao's team stopped at a parking lot more than 300 meters away from the large supermarket. The people with Jian Huan Yao were actually Pang Xuejun's gang, and Ding Qi led more than 20 new humans, who were also divided into teams of over 10 people, to encircle and attack the large supermarket from three directions.

  As for how to deceive the security guards and enter their internal network, that depends on Ding Qi's skills.

  "Xiao, if you want to make a move, what's your plan?" An Rongru's beautiful eyes sparkled, her red lips curled into a smile, and she rarely showed interest in testing him.

  "Underground or in the air." Mu Xiao said without hesitation.

  He was very clear that for the new humans at this early stage, their spiritual power could not extend too far in distance and would also be weakened by penetrating through solid objects. The ground had the greatest thickness, and it was impossible to scan underground without cultivating secret methods. Extending into the air would also waste a lot of spiritual power, making it difficult to sustain.

  Moreover, most spiritual practitioners have subconscious habits and will only detect things within their own mental scope, not constantly detecting what's strange or threatening in the air and underground. Therefore, during the mid-term of the evolution era, many spiritual practitioners suffered greatly before researching the secret method of all-around detection.

  "Even if they enter the supermarket from both ground and air, once inside, they are likely to be discovered by security personnel." An Rongru thought that the landlord's side would not be too successful in carrying out an effective surprise attack.

  "If they can successfully get inside, both sides will be in a fair fight situation, which is better than attacking from the outside." Mu Xiao looked at the problem very practically.

  As expected, just as Mu Xiao said, Ding Qi and others climbed up to the top from a blind spot in the supermarket, ready to start attacking from the top into the supermarket.

  "Huh!" Mu Xiao suddenly discovered a spiritual fluctuation that disappeared from his senses, apparently the other party had a new human spirit system that exceeded the range and couldn't stir up his own spiritual source's senses.

  Soon he thought of something and asked An Rongru: "Does the supermarket have an underground passage?"

  "How did you know?" An Rongru asked in surprise.

  "So that's how it is." Mu Xiao suddenly understood what the homeowner was getting at.

  Three routes of attack, upper and lower ambushes, the main gate was breached by Jian Huan Yao's side, with the intention of dispersing the security forces' combat power, then gathering the battle lines, gradually encircling and killing all the security guards.

  "It's almost time to go to war, we're also getting ready." Mu Xiao said seriously, looking at An Rongru who was tense all over, and could only pull over her clenched fist, gently rubbing it to ease the tension in her heart, and calmly said: "Peace no longer exists now, if you want to survive, you must learn to kill."

  "I understand." An Rongru relaxed her fists, her palms sweating coldly, and tightly grasped Mu Xiao's large hand, as if she had gained some kind of support in her heart.

  Suddenly, chaos erupted inside the supermarket, with several floors displaying flashing beams of light.

  Rumble!

  Outside, a dazzling flash of lightning burst open on the fifth floor, producing a massive explosion sound, shattering a row of glass windows in an instant and shaking the quiet night. As the supermarket's chaos grew louder and louder, countless people let out screams, roars, and mournful cries...

  The sudden attack caused the survivors inside the supermarket to become disordered, and fear spread among ordinary people. At this time, another loud explosion came from the third floor, as loud as thunder, as if even the air was turbulent. At this moment, Ding Qi's second team of new humans launched a surprise attack from below, advancing at full speed to the third floor before encountering enemy forces, and without hesitation detonated the B-level Thunderbolt hand grenade that had been painstakingly collected, launching a fierce opening assault.

  Jian Han and Pang Xuejun's group also took advantage of the timing of the internal fight in the supermarket, attacking from the main gate.

  "Go!" Mu Xiao's eyes gleamed with a sharp light, and his figure moved swiftly, dashing towards the supermarket like a thunderbolt.

  "Wait for me." An Rongru hurriedly quickened her pace.

  She was almost at full speed just barely keeping up with Mu Shao three meters behind him.

  As soon as Mu Xiao entered the supermarket, he pulled An Rongru into his arms and quickly hid in a dark corner. He relaxed his spiritual power and found that there was no movement, then let go of An Rongru and said: "You use your life to detect the surroundings, my spiritual power will shield you, try not to touch others while detecting."

  "Uh-huh." An Rongru forced herself to immerse in the tense atmosphere of battle, her spiritual power rapidly spreading out. She discovered a faint life fluctuation on the first floor, apparently the vital energy of some survivors. After sweeping around half a circle, she found a route with no life fluctuations.

  "There's no one on this road." An Rongyu pointed in the direction of the supermarket that sells daily necessities.

  "Go." Mu Xiao didn't stop for a moment and quickly caught up with Jian Huan Yao's group.

  He must protect that little girl, and also think clearly about the strength of both sides, so as to have a grasp on swallowing all new humans at once.

  Because the supermarket is very large, there are many routes that can lead to the upper floor, and with An Ruoyu's life detection ability, it is clear which routes have people or not. Very smoothly, they headed straight for the third floor where the explosion occurred. As soon as Mu Shao arrived here, he smelled a faint bloody smell and instantly understood that there had been a battle here.

  However, the supermarket only had five floors, and the last two floors were where the fighting was most intense.

  "There are many signs of life here, but most of them are just survivors." An Rongyu detected and reported to Mu Xiao.

  "Can avoid then avoid, can't avoid then let them lose consciousness." Mu Xiao wasn't a bloodthirsty person and wouldn't kill innocent people without necessity.

  Along the way, An Rongru's "Life Detector" sensed the surroundings and avoided several crowded areas. When they encountered a few survivors who rushed out, before they could react, Mu Xiao swiftly and cleanly knocked them unconscious with a single hand knife, and they fell to the ground, losing consciousness.

  The spiritual energy of Mu Xiao converged in a small range, shielding the fluctuations, making it impossible for the security guards and the property owners to sense his and An Ruxin's existence.

  "Hmm!" Mu Xiao furrowed his brow as he entered the fourth floor's corridor, "The smell of blood is so thick, it doesn't seem like the scent of a new human, but rather the fresh blood of an ordinary person."

  He was extremely sensitive to the blood of new humans, and the new human's blood was more vigorous, while the old human's taste was lighter. With just one sniff, he roughly understood the strength of the bloody smell coming from upstairs.

  "Has the security guard and the owner started fighting?" An Rongru frowned, not used to such a strong bloody smell, and also worried about her daughter's situation.

  "Did you detect any signs of life inside?" Mu Xiao asked back.

  "No." An Rongruo shook her head, "It seems that life detection has been blocked."

  "Hmm." Mu Xiao sank into thought for a moment, "Could it be that among the two groups of people, there is a new human with the ability to create a spiritual barrier?"

  "What is spiritual obstacle?" An Rongru asked back with confusion.

  The spiritual barrier is a fixed-range barrier that cannot be extended. As long as the spiritual barrier is set up in one place, it can isolate some spiritual power detection. If someone forcibly breaks through his spiritual barrier, he is likely to be discovered.

  "It's highly likely that the security side has a spiritual-type new human...". Mu Xiao's face turned grave, "If it's really like this, then the security side probably already knew about the plan for the property owner and Pang Xuejun's neutral side to launch a surprise attack together. Otherwise, they wouldn't have set up a mental barrier at this time, likely in order to hide their full combat strength. Moreover, until now, there hasn't been a single battle between new humans, it seems that Song Tianhu had anticipated this."

  "What are we going to do!?" An Rongru couldn't help but feel anxious, if it was a trap, then Jian Huan Yao would be in great danger.

  "We just need to go up to the fourth floor and it will be clear whether the security guards had planned this in advance, setting a trap to surround and kill both the landlord and Pang Xuejun's men." Mu Xiao said as he walked forward, An Rongru closely following behind him.
