The shopping mall entrance seemed empty, but the glass panes of the display windows to both sides were shattered all over the floor, and even the items on display inside the windows had fallen every which way. Obviously, something had broken in.

Upon seeing this, Guan Weijun turned to look at Xiao Sha and asked, "How many monsters can you kill?"

Naturally, Xiao Sha wouldn't expose his hand right at the start. He prudently said, "You speak first."

Guan Weijun took a deep breath and quickly explained, "Three if they're not fast. One or two if they're a bit faster. But some are particularly strong. I'm not very sure about those."

She then pointed at Zhang Jing and said, "He's the opposite of me. He could deal with two of the fast monsters. But for those with thick skin and high strength, he wouldn't even be able to kill off a single one. As for the rest, two people could probably cope with one. Not getting killed right away, and being able to finish off a monster would have to depend on their luck. In normal circumstances, that is. If there's a disparity in strength with the monsters, just a single one of them could make us break into a run. That happens a lot, too."

They're pretty strong. I was slightly taken aback. This Guan Weijun can actually deal with three aberrants? At this phase of the previous life, I was still at the sidelines, using a kitchen knife tied to a broom stick like some small fry!

Xiao Sha nodded and said indifferently, "I can handle six normal monsters, four or five if they're slightly stronger. But it's hard to say for even stronger ones."

The moment those words were spoken, everyone's face changed—as one, they all wore an expression of revering a great expert. They were just short of "calling their wives to come out and get a glimpse of god."

Actually, Xiao Sha was still hiding his real strength. My guess was that he should be able to comfortably handle eight. If he wasn't expected to be unharmed, he could probably even handle a dozen or more. Although he hadn't reached tier one, he was pretty close already. The formless and colorless wind ability was truly too suited for combat.

Xiao Sha maintained a cold expression as he faced everyone. "We're heading in. I'll join the fight, but only under one condition. Ten of your people must carry the things I want. And no matter what it is, there can be no objection."

This was a very good move. After all, the things that I wanted weren't actually everyday living necessities. In the event that these people refused to cooperate, we would waste a lot of time if they started making a fuss inside.

Guan Weijun instantly nodded in agreement, without even a hint of hesitation. This was very understandable. Without Xiao Sha, forget searching for supplies, a lot more of them would have died. It wouldn't have been strange either if they had all perished. They should be content that they were all still alive and even had stuff to grab.

"Let's go!"

Xiao Sha commanded in a low voice and took the lead to charge through the shattered display window. Guan Weijun and the others followed closely behind him. I chose the end, so as to avoid carelessly losing any members.

Although I was somewhat on guard against this group of people and Guan Weijun, so far, my impression of them was fairly good. For an average person to have this kind of discipline was truly exceptional. I did feel uneasy about Guan Weijun because of it, but in the end, it was merely a suspicion. A person of talent warranted careful protection. Even if we didn't have her join the JDT, at the very least, the human race would have another bargaining chip.
