On the other side of the mall, Ryan and Samuel led a few people, wielding machetes and iron rods, sneaking through the cars.
Thanks to Quentin and Elijah's previous clearing efforts, they encountered few zombies along the way and successfully reached the west gate of the mall.
"The warehouse is to the east. They definitely won't expect us to enter from the west gate," Samuel chuckled, watching as Ryan swiftly opened the door.
"Don't delay, let's try to take them down in one go! Before Quentin reacts!" Ryan said.
"Understood, no nonsense, kill any men we see..."
"Right, as for the women... hehehe..."
Samuel's lips curled involuntarily.
"When we control the mall, then we can have some fun together..."
The others immediately laughed at his words.
In the apocalypse, one should live without restraint.
Several people who hadn't been to the mall sighed inwardly. Quentin might be okay everywhere else, but his damn rules were too much. Following him ensured survival, but it was boring.
"Let's go!"
Once everyone entered, Ryan locked the door again and took the lead.
Elijah, surrounded by nearby zombies, received this scene through his mental link.
"Tsk, someone is really walking into the lion's den! It's a shame the images the zombies see are always intermittent. If only they had noticed earlier..."
Elijah placed the stack of beer he was carrying in the car and told Hannah, "You keep loading, I'll deal with a few rats!"
"Be careful!"
"Don't worry! With Abigail and Fiona's abilities, dealing with them is a piece of cake!" Elijah said, picking up a spear and heading towards the mall.
As he walked, he grabbed a bottle of beer. He had sweated a lot while moving things earlier, feeling hot and thirsty!
Then he used Hannah's ability to turn the beer into ice-cold, taking a big sip.
"Ahh, refreshing! Hannah's ability is really handy!"
However, before Elijah could find them, Fiona came face to face with them first.
"Who are you? How did you get in here?" Fiona questioned.
"Tsk, truly exquisite!" Samuel's group didn't answer but stared brazenly at Fiona.
"Yeah, these legs, I could play with them for a year without getting bored!"
"And this face, damn beautiful, even more beautiful than that star, what's her name, Taylor..."
Listening to their vulgar language, Fiona frowned.
He was so scared that he almost dropped the machete in his hand.
He finally understood why Elijah and the others were able to take over the mall.
With their skills and abilities, even if ten more people came, it wouldn't be enough to kill them!
Unless they were Awakeners like Quentin.
Seeing the mall door about to open, a white object flew towards him.
Ryan was so scared that he immediately knelt on the ground.
"Big brother! I was wrong, big brother! I was blind! Please spare my life!"
His cowardly act happened to save him, avoiding Fiona's bone spike.
"It's not impossible! But my greatest virtue is holding grudges. You may covet this mall, anyone would have such thoughts. But when you look into my woman's eyes..."
A glimmer of hope appeared in Ryan's desperate eyes.
He forcefully slapped his own mouth.
"It's my fault for being impudent. You are the bigger person..."
"I'm in a good mood today, and I'm also considering Quentin's face. I'm going to give you a chance. But whether you can live or not depends on yourself."
After Elijah finished speaking, he walked forward and kicked him hard in the knee.
"Ah~" Ryan cried out in pain, tears streaming down his face.
"Now you can leave!"
"Uh uh uh..."
Ryan endured the pain and dragged one leg, limping to the door.
At this moment, he realized Elijah's intention.
Indeed, Elijah had given him a chance.
But now with one leg crippled, if he encountered zombies, he wouldn't be able to run.
However, the route had been cleared of zombies. As long as he held on, he might have a chance if he encountered Quentin or returned to the residential area.
"Are you really going to let him go?"
Fiona asked.
"What do you think?"
Elijah finished speaking and took out a Bluetooth speaker.
"Let's listen to some upbeat music!"
