The fourth floor of the supermarket was a store selling branded clothing, but at this time any expensive and beautiful clothes were shrouded in thick darkness, as if what was being sold was not expensive clothing, but the funeral clothes of the dead.

  Muxiao and An Rongru arrived at the fourth floor, which was eerily quiet and dark. The dim light from the top cast a faint glow, revealing a scene of utter carnage: beautiful clothes were scattered all over the floor, each stained with layer upon layer of deep red blood. Ahead of them lay more than ten mutilated corpses, strewn haphazardly in the pool of blood, their deaths extremely tragic. The entire floor was shrouded in an oppressive and chilling atmosphere.

  "They were mostly killed by the massive impact, and some were cut to death by sharp objects." Mu Xiao walked closer to take a look at the dead bodies and figured out their cause of death.

  "Was it the homeowner's attack ability that caused this?" An Rongru covered her mouth and nose with her hands, her eyes revealing a hint of unbearable pain. She could gaze straight at this gruesome bloody scene, although her expression was very strained, but she didn't show excessive fear, and still managed to analyze normally, Mu Xiao was quite satisfied that she had grown up a bit.

  "The ones who died from the crash might have been a new human ability, but the ones who were cut to death are probably just external objects." Mu Xiao noticed some bloody limbs with extremely neat cuts and speculated: "They must have had an A-level plasma cutting blade to so easily dismember the body so neatly. Even if the early new humans had cutting abilities, they didn't have this level of control over cutting cleanly."

  Mu Xiao took a glance at An Rongru, whose face had turned slightly pale, and knew she didn't want to stay here any longer. He turned around and left, saying: "Let's go up to the fifth floor, both sides have probably started confronting each other."

  "Aren't you afraid they'll seal off the fifth floor?" An Rongru quickly followed up.

  "The security side didn't have so many new humans to blockade, and the blockade would only waste overall combat power. As for those survivors, they may not be loyal to the security side even if they were blockaded on the fifth floor." Mu Xiao swept a glance at the large patch of bloodstains on the ground, saying: "The survivors who died here are undoubtedly the best examples. They might have thought about getting close to the security side and would have been guarding here, but unfortunately, they encountered the new humans from the homeowner's side. Ordinary people are just a flock of sheep."

  The new human physique has been strengthened, the blood gene has been optimized, and it has innate abilities. The old human is stuck in place and has no substantial ability. There is a huge gap between them.

  However, even if an SSS-class physique old human being faces an SSS-class physique new human being, there is still a clear difference between the two. The former's vitality, physical endurance, and explosive power values are far inferior to those of the latter, so once they engage in battle, death will certainly befall the former.

  As Mu Xiao said, there was no one guarding the entrance of the fifth floor, and he quickly entered the corridor on the fifth floor with An Rongru.

  The fifth floor was a furniture sales floor, with rows of furniture that made perfect cover. Mu Xiao and An Rongru came from a secluded passage, without releasing their spiritual power to detect, they found the area illuminated by the light source, where a group of people were on high alert, in a defensive posture, and these people were Pang Xuejun and Ding Qiluo's gang, who were surrounded by security guards from all sides.

  The entire floor was not fully lit, only a few energy-efficient lights illuminated the central area, while the surroundings were dimly lit, and the distance was even pitch black, making it impossible to see what was there.

  Pang Xuejun and Ding Qiluo's group were exposed in the light, while the security guards hid in the dark corners. Everyone held various energy guns, making Pang Xuejun and Ding Qiluo's group very conspicuous targets. Most people didn't dare to make any sudden movements.

  The new humans' vitality was stronger than that of ordinary people, withstanding the energy beam's shot without dying. Moreover, most of them had mechanical inner armor. However, in the dark places, there were three faintly visible deep cannon muzzles, forming a triangular formation aimed at their group, which was the most dreaded threat.

  He and An Rongru entered the fifth floor, hiding behind a large cabinet, understanding that Pang Xuejun and Ding Qilüe's situation was not as ideal as they thought.

  "Get closer to me, within the range where I can exert my yuanqi power, and your daughter will be under my protection. With her own keen combat awareness, there's basically no risk to her life." Mu Xiao saw An Rongru's worried expression and naturally understood that she was extremely concerned about Jian Huan's situation. Regardless of whether he protected Jian Huan or not, he had to get closer, so that he could take action at the critical moment and eliminate all enemies.

  In the darkness, two figures moved as nimbly as a cat, using the large furniture on each floor as cover, swiftly passing through layer after layer of checkpoints, cautiously making their way to the area where the two groups were confronting each other.

  "Gather your spiritual energy and isolate your fluctuating aura." Mu Xiao leaned in close to An Rongruo's ear, smelling the faint fragrance emanating from her body, and said in a low voice, "We're now approaching the range of the 'Spiritual Barrier'. If that new human detects any fluctuations, we might expose our identities. Be careful not to make any probing movements."

  "Hmm." An Rongru felt the warm breath of Mu Xiao spraying on her ear, and she slightly blushed. But she knew this wasn't the time to indulge in fantasies, and soon became as focused as Mu Xiao, throwing herself into the tense situation ahead.

  At this time, in front of Pang Xuejun and Ding Qi, there was a man with a tiger's back and bear's waist, sitting on a wooden chair with a calm expression. His eyebrows were as thick as ink, his eyes were bright, his face was chiseled like a knife, his body was strong and heroic, wearing a silver mechanical armor, shining brightly, like a mighty iron-blooded general.

  This man is Song Tianhu, the leader of the security guards.

  "If you surrender and listen to my orders, I might spare your lives." Song Tianhu's expression was calm and collected, with an air of confidence that came from knowing he had the upper hand.

  At this time, Jian Huan Yao hid in the team. Although she was arrogant and disdainful of others, she was very unhappy with Song Tian Hu's words, but she wasn't a reckless and impulsive fool. If she spoke out to provoke at this time, it would definitely arouse everyone's hostility, which was an action that would lead to ridicule and hatred. She wouldn't do such a stupid thing. So, she quietly observed the surroundings, looking for an ideal retreat route.

  She didn't counterattack, but someone couldn't stand it and counterattacked instead.

  "A lowly person like you dares to speak such arrogant words. You used to be our gatekeeper." A man standing slightly behind Ding Qi said with disdain.

  "Wang Hengli, do you still think you're a big shot in a high position?!" A sharp and ruthless man standing next to Song Tianhu sneered, saying: "Now you're just a piece of meat on our chopping board. It's best if you put away that arrogant nonsense of yours! Otherwise, we'll be the first to slaughter you!"

  "How dare you!" The first man to speak, Wang Hengli, was not reduced from his usual majestic and awe-inspiring demeanor. He roared in anger: "You dare to fire the first shot? I'll risk my life to take down this trash before anyone else!"

  Don't look down on the small, pampered and privileged big shots. Real big shots have charisma and pride, as well as an unyielding will and dignity. Otherwise, they wouldn't be standing above countless people, existing as nobility. Now that they've become a new kind of human, this pride and will are even more deeply ingrained in their souls, and won't be easily shaken.

  So, it's not easy to tame these arrogant people.

  The man standing next to Song Tianhu was intimidated by Wang Heng's unyielding momentum, unable to retort for a moment. His face turned red with rage and embarrassment, but he couldn't replace Song Tianhu in giving orders. It seemed like there was a barrel of explosives burning in his chest, ready to explode at any time.

  "Ding Qi, you really plan to fight us to the death?" Song Tianhu ignored the man with a very ugly face beside him, after all, starting a war rashly was not a good result.

  "Everyone is a smart person, actually doesn't want to make unnecessary losses, but if we don't surrender, will you let us leave?" Ding Qi slightly smiled and counterattacked without leaving any traces. In a disadvantaged position, he remained calm and composed, just this attitude was enough to make those security guards feel inferior.

  His tone suddenly changed, he retracted his smile and released the "Environmental Analysis" ability. In an instant, the air around him condensed into a single entity, carrying a surging black tide of energy. His eyes gleamed with a fierce light as he gritted his teeth and asked: "I want to know who betrayed us, otherwise you wouldn't have known about our surprise attack tonight, and even set up a series of guides to lead all of us into your trap!"

  Ding Qi has the ability to "analyze the environment" and can find a way to advance or retreat, but as soon as they entered, they were ambushed by a group of security guards' energy beams. He had no choice but to let Qianping infuse the grenade with "power", throwing it out like a heavy punch. The grenade with "power", combined with its explosive force, was expected to heavily damage some of the security guards, and then take advantage of the opportunity to kill those who were injured.

  But when Ding Qiluo and others approached, they found that the new humans had only launched a wave of sneak attacks and retreated cleanly. Later, when everyone gathered together, they were surrounded by more than 30 security guards and three heavy weapons in an instant.

  If it's still not clear that one side is being betrayed, then Ding Qirui should just die. Moreover, it's not just Ding Qirui who has this awareness of being betrayed; all the smart people among them understand that there must be a traitor in their team, which led to such a fatal situation.

  "You know I won't say it out loud, because my people are waiting for the battle ahead. But a sharp blade can strike you at any time." Song Tianhu said this, undoubtedly trying to split the trust of Ding Qiluo and others, making them wary of their own companions in battle and unable to focus on fighting wholeheartedly.

  "There's no good ending for being a traitor, even if he launches a sneak attack and kills one of us, as soon as such situation occurs, we will definitely fight to the death to kill this traitor, absolutely not giving him any chance to survive." Ding Qi slightly more ruthlessly defeated Song Tianhu. Because nobody is not afraid of death, the traitor wants to secretly kill people, must bear everyone's angry killing intent.

  Once you make a move, it's fatal!

  If you don't drag your feet and delay until the end, you might not die.

  This is a test of Ding Qi's loyalty to Song Tianhu.

  "Besides, Song Tianhu, do you think you've already won?"

  Ding Qi's words were spoken at a moderate pace, as if he was chatting casually, but the moment his words fell, three figures behind him shot out like thunderbolts. At the same time, two azure particle beams shot out, catching another sword beam, and an electric arc of plasma burst forth, slashing away with a fierce cleaving motion.

  "Take cover!"

  Pang Xuejun let out a loud shout, and everyone seemed to be startled like a beast, bursting with speed, dodging the energy beams that came down like a large net. Among them were three violent, fierce, and dazzling beams of light, like thick thunderbolts, rushing forward, shattering the air, radiating violently, and fiercely impacting everything like a torrent.
