Chapter 64 Before the Storm
Su Wanqing looked at the several light spots on the surveillance screen that were gradually becoming clearer. The light spots were still moving, not very fast, but with an oppressive feeling that could not be ignored.

"They're coming." Her voice was soft, but it was particularly harsh in the quiet conference room.

Lu Zhao was still busy on the first floor, bending down from time to time to check the equipment on the ground.

He took out a thin wire and fixed a glass bottle filled with pebbles between the shelves.

"Let's put it this way. Anyone who touches the thin line will cause the bottle to fall and make a noise, buying us a few seconds to react."

He looked up at Su Wanqing and said, "It's a bit crude, but it's better than nothing."

"Very good." Su Wanqing nodded. "This is exactly the effect we want. Time is short, so finish it as soon as possible."

Lin Che was working with a few survivors to move tables and chairs in the coffee shop on the second floor, clearing the space as much as possible.

He wiped the sweat from his forehead and walked over to Su Wanqing. "Okay, this place has been cleaned up and can accommodate more than 20 people."

"Thank you for your hard work." Su Wanqing looked at him. "The second floor is our temporary safe zone. Arrange a few people to take turns on duty. If the situation becomes unsettled, lead everyone to evacuate immediately."

"I understand." Lin Che nodded. He could sense a tense atmosphere in the air, like the silence before a storm.

Zhang Lin came down from the third floor, carrying a medical kit. "The medical supplies are ready. I've set up a makeshift medical station in my office on the third floor and taught a few volunteers simple bandaging and hemostasis techniques. I hope they'll be useful."

"Zhang Lin, you have worked hard during this period." Su Wanqing said gratefully.

"Medical work is very important and we must be prepared."

Zhang Lin took a deep breath and tried to calm himself down. "I'll do my best."

In the corner, Dai Hao, who was captured, lowered his head and said nothing.

He curled up like a frightened rabbit, his whole body trembling.

Su Wanqing walked up to him and asked coldly, "Tell me, what else do you know?"

Dai Hao raised his head, his eyes filled with fear. "I... I've said almost everything. I really don't know anything else."

"Are you sure?" Su Wanqing pressed. "What tactics does the 'New Order' prefer?"

Dai Hao swallowed his saliva, hesitated for a moment, and then slowly said, "Liu Zheng, the leader of the 'New Order', likes to divide people into several teams and launch attacks from different directions at the same time to disrupt our formation.

Moreover, some of them are retired special forces soldiers with very strong skills.”

"Retired special forces soldier?" Lu Zhao frowned. "What are their specialties?"

"I... I only know a few of them. One is good at sniping, one is good at blasting, and the other is good at close combat." Dai Hao replied.

Su Wanqing nodded. "Remember this information and tell Xiao Ran. Tell him to focus on guarding against these special forces soldiers."

Dai Hao trembled as he spoke, "Also... they have a plan to go around us and enter the shopping mall from the back door, cutting off our escape route."

Lu Zhao immediately took out his tablet and marked the location of the back door on the map.

"This place needs to be strengthened."

Su Wanqing glanced at everyone present and said loudly, "Okay, everyone, listen up, the 'New Order' may launch an attack at any time.

Lu Zhao, continue to perfect the underground traps. Lin Che, strengthen the defenses on the second floor. Zhang Lin, keep medical supplies ready. Xiao Ran, lead the defense team to prepare for battle. We must prepare for the worst and protect everyone.

"Yes!" everyone answered in unison, their eyes full of determination.

Su Wanqing went to the second floor and began to briefly explain the situation to the survivors.

"Everyone, we may be facing a battle. Please remain calm and follow the instructions. The second floor is a relatively safe place. In the event of an emergency, we will lead everyone to evacuate. Now, please try to rest and maintain your strength."

There was a murmur among the crowd. Some were terrified, some looked ashen, and some were praying silently.

A middle-aged woman couldn't help but ask, "Su...Miss Su, can we really resist them?"

Su Wanqing looked at her, her eyes filled with determination. "We must resist. We can't just sit there and wait for death. We have the right to survive. Believe in us, we will definitely be able to defeat them."

Although her words were brief, they were full of power and rekindled a glimmer of hope in people's hearts.

Night fell completely and the shopping mall was plunged into darkness.

Only a few emergency lights were flickering dimly.

Wang Dong at the lookout reported via the intercom: "Report! Several small mobile light sources have been spotted approaching the shopping mall from a distance!

The quantity is unknown, the speed is slow, but the trend is clear!"

Su Wanqing's heart skipped a beat. She walked to the monitoring room and looked at the huge screen on the wall.

On the screen, the images sent back by the surveillance cameras clearly showed the situation around the shopping mall.

Several beams of flashlight light swayed in the darkness, moving rapidly towards the shopping mall.

They are getting closer and closer...

"Prepare for battle." Su Wanqing said into the intercom. Her voice was calm, but it carried unquestionable majesty.

Everyone in the shopping mall was on high alert.

Everyone clenched their weapons, held their breath, and waited for the storm to come.

Quiet, deathly quiet.

Suddenly, a slight "click" sound broke the silence.

Lu Zhao saw on the surveillance screen that a "New Order" scout accidentally stepped on a thin wire on the ground and triggered the trap.

"The enemy is at the entrance!" Lu Zhao's voice sounded a little hurried in the intercom, and the pungent smell of tear gas quickly spread in the air.

Su Wanqing stood at the entrance of the underground parking lot and saw through the surveillance footage that the "New Order" members were pouring in like a tide.

They wore uniform black uniforms, gas masks on their faces, and were well-equipped. They were obviously trained professional soldiers.

Beside her, Li Zhao and Zhang Lin were pale and tightly gripped their weapons. Wang Feng was trembling beside her and looked like he had no fighting ability at all.

"Everyone, please pay attention and act according to the predetermined plan!" Su Wanqing said in a deep voice, trying her best to appear calm.

"Li Zhao, you're responsible for controlling the switch here to ensure the tear gas continues to spray. Zhang Lin, be ready to treat the wounded at any time. Wang Feng, stay where you are and don't move!"

"Yes!" Li Zhao and Zhang Lin responded in unison, while Wang Feng nodded, seemingly not having heard Su Wanqing's words clearly. "Lu Zhao, how is the situation?" Su Wanqing asked again.

"The first trap has been triggered, but the effect is limited. They quickly adapted to the stimulation of the tear gas." Lu Zhao's voice came from the intercom with a hint of anxiety.

"They've breached the entrance and are advancing towards the supermarket area!"

Su Wanqing frowned. She had expected the members of the New Order to be very resilient, but she didn't expect them to adapt to tear gas so quickly.

It seemed that she had underestimated their level of training.

"Xiao Ran, Lin Che, how are things going over there?"

"We are setting up the last line of defense at the second floor passage."

Xiao Ran's voice was steady and powerful. "They want to rush directly to the supply warehouse. We can't let them succeed."

"Okay, you must hold on!" Su Wanqing encouraged.

Suddenly, a familiar figure appeared on the surveillance screen. It was a tall, middle-aged man with a hideous scar on his face and a cold, ruthless look in his eyes.

"Liu Zheng!" Su Wanqing shouted in a low voice. She immediately recognized the leader of the "New Order", a powerful figure before the virus broke out.

Liu Zheng raised his submachine gun and fired several rounds at the entrance. He then shouted, "Clear the tear gas! Charge forward! Whoever is the first to seize the supply warehouse will be rewarded handsomely!"

The "New Order" personnel immediately sped up and rushed towards the supermarket area frantically, ignoring the tear gas on the ground.

"Oh no! There are too many of them!" Lu Zhao exclaimed. "We don't have enough people to withstand their attack!"

"Don't panic, stay calm." Su Wanqing suppressed the anxiety in her heart.

"We have a pre-set trap. It won't be easy for them to rush in!"

Sure enough, as the "New Order" personnel went deeper into the supermarket area, traps hidden underground were triggered one after another, and various obstacles suddenly appeared, hindering their progress.

"Be careful! There's a tripwire on the ground!"

"Ah! My feet!"

"Quick! Get away from the explosives!"

The members of the "New Order" struggled in the trap, falling to the ground one by one and screaming in pain.

Liu Zheng looked at the chaotic scene in front of him with a look of disdain on his face.

"It seems you still have some tricks up your sleeve. However, these tricks are nothing to us!"

He waved his hand, signaling several special forces soldiers around him to come forward. "Send me some people to search other areas to see if they have any hidden treasures."

"Yes!" Several special forces soldiers responded and immediately dispersed and began searching the shopping mall.

At this moment, Lu Zhao suddenly shouted, "Oh no! Someone's behind us!"

Su Wanqing was shocked. She saw in the surveillance footage that several "New Order" personnel had quietly walked around to the underground parking lot and were trying to open the entrance door.

"Li Zhao, reinforce the gate!" Su Wanqing ordered hurriedly. "Stop them from entering at all costs!"

Li Zhao hurried to the gate and began to operate the machine-controlled electronic lock.

However, just as he was about to activate the defense system, a special forces soldier suddenly appeared behind him and kicked him in the back.

Li Zhao screamed and fell to the ground.

"Quick! Open the door for me!" the special forces soldier shouted to his companions.

The "New Order" personnel immediately took out the cutting machine and started cutting the door.

"No, this can't go on!" Su Wanqing said anxiously.

"We must stop them quickly!"

At this moment, Lin Che's voice suddenly came from the intercom, with a hint of tension.

"Lu Zhao, where are you? Be careful! Someone is approaching you!"

"I'm here!" Lu Zhao exclaimed. "Damn! This guy is too fast!"

Su Wanqing saw in the surveillance footage that a special forces soldier had rushed in front of Lu Zhao and the two sides were fighting fiercely.

After all, Lu Zhao was not a professionally trained soldier, and he quickly fell into a disadvantage when facing experienced special forces.

"Lu Zhao, be careful!" Lin Che shouted, his voice filled with worry.

He felt that Lu Zhao was in danger, and immediately used all his strength to control the surrounding water to gather towards Lu Zhao.

A powerful stream of water suddenly formed, like a huge wall of water, blocking the special forces' vision.

“What?!” The special forces soldier exclaimed, having never expected Lin Che to suddenly launch an attack.

Lin Che took the opportunity to pull Lu Zhao to her side and said loudly, "Lu Zhao, are you okay?"

Lu Zhao shook his head, his face pale. "I'm fine. Thank you, Lin Che."

Lin Che nodded and held Lu Zhao's hand tightly. "We must work together to defeat them."

The members of the "New Order" obviously did not expect that Lin Che actually possessed such a strange ability.

They were shocked by the sudden wall of water and did not dare to act rashly for a moment.

"Quick! Take this opportunity to retreat!" Su Wanqing shouted loudly into the walkie-talkie.

Lin Che and Lu Zhao held hands and quickly retreated to the safe area on the second floor.

Liu Zheng looked at everything happening in front of him, a hint of confusion on his face.

"What's going on? This guy actually has the ability to control water? This is incredible!"

He gathered himself and shouted, "Surround them! Capture them at all costs!"

Loud fighting broke out one after another in the shopping mall, and the chaotic gunshots and shouting were intertwined, like a hellish nightmare.
