Reborn In The Apocalypse: It Had Always Been You

"Then what would you do?" Su Shanshan frowned. Although it was a little selfish to think this way, if she had to choose Gu Jincheng or the Southwestern base, she would choose Gu Jincheng without hesitation.

"Don't worry, I'll be fine." Gu Jincheng's tone was full of confidence.

Only then did Su Shanshan nod and jump down the hole. Only the rat family and Gu Jincheng were left in the room upstairs. When no one was around, Gu Jincheng suddenly said to the rats, "Go attract the things outside."

The rats' green eyes shone slightly, and they squeaked. Each rat found a corner and lifted up the junk in the corner, revealing small holes. These holes were the work of these rats. They were connected to every part of this mall.

The rats left. Gu Jincheng held the wires and pulled hard. Because there were too many wires intertwined together, Gu Jincheng used 50% of his strength but still could not pull them apart. This result satisfied him.

After Gu Jincheng was done, he closed his eyes on the spot. He looked very casual, as if he was resting. In fact, his ears were trembling slightly. He was observing the situation here with all his mental strength. In his mind, he could sense every move of Su Shanshan's. Otherwise, he would not be at ease leaving Su Shanshan alone.

After jumping down, Su Shanshan rolled nimbly on the ground and held the Tang sword tightly in her hand. She was now on the first floor. They had not passed by this spot when they came in just now. It should be near the front door because they had just come in from the back door.

She carefully checked the surroundings and after finding no abnormality, she walked to the third room on the left, as Gu Jincheng had instructed. There were shops here, and one could no longer tell what they were selling previously. Even the door plates were corroded. There was the smell of Piranha Flowers and a sticky feeling everywhere. The doors of the shops were not locked. Su Shanshan quickly came to the door of the third shop.

She knocked on the door tentatively. There was no sound. Su Shanshan frowned and knocked again. Still no sound.

Just as she was about to barge in, there was a soft thud in the room. It was very soft. If not for Su Shanshan's attention, she would not have heard it.

Su Shanshan opened a crack in the door and a tree root suddenly darted out of the room. She arched her back to dodge it. The Chinese sword in her hand slashed at the root, and it instantly broke into two and fell to the ground. Su Shanshan held her breath in disgust. Her surroundings were filled with the smell of blood.

It did not smell like human blood.

The room was dark and she could only make out bulky things huddled together on the floor. A surprised voice was heard. "Sister Shanshan!"

Su Shanshan looked toward the source of the sound. It was coming from a bulk. After taking a closer look, she could tell that it was Fei Lan from his eyes. His entire body was covered by tree roots.

Su Shanshan took a step forward and cut the roots that were wrapped around him with her Tang sword. She rescued the people in the surrounding area. These people were from the Southwestern base. After they were freed, they went to save the others.

Rustling sounds could be heard in the small space. Su Shanshan swung her Tang sword above everyone's head. Other than Fei Lan, who trusted her and stood still, everyone else sat on the ground in a panic. The Tang sword passed over their heads and slashed backwards. The room was too dark for them to see clearly, but they could hear something falling to the ground.

Then a miserable cry rang out.
