45: Chapter 45 The Advantage Lies in the Number of People

Qi Yin's cold voice immediately rang out in the communication channel of the group.

Almost as soon as she finished speaking, several black figures suddenly lunged out from behind the tall shelves ahead.

Using the momentum of kicking off the shelves, they pounced directly at Chen Quan and Wen Yang.

Qi Yin finally saw the group's attire clearly; they were all wearing black protective suits, and their faces inside the helmets were covered by masks.

Is this... the same group of people who ambushed Chen Jun before?

However, it was clear that these dozen or so mysterious people were much more formidable than the previous ones.

Chen Quan reacted immediately. His body, enhanced by his Supernatural Ability, possessed even greater speed and strength. He threw a heavy punch at the two pouncing on him, creating some distance.

Wen Yang raised an Earth Shield out of thin air, blocking the two people behind it.

There was no time for further thought. Lu Jinwen immediately controlled the metal objects she could find on the scene, sharpening them all and turning them into sharp swords, which pierced the hearts of the two attacking Chen Quan in an instant.

Meanwhile, Qi Yin seized the opportunity, summoned her Tang Dao, and rushed quickly in front of Wen Yang. Aiming for the necks of those three, she brought her blade down.

Within a minute, nearly half of the mysterious people had fallen.

Their blood attracted a group of "onlookers"—small fish.

"Oh? They weren't afraid of over a hundred people, but these few? They actually dare to attack?"

Unfortunately, the remaining mysterious people couldn't hear Qi Yin's complaints at all.

They glanced at each other, and the mysterious person at the very front suddenly took out a whistle.

A piercing sound wave rang out underwater. Except for Qi Yin, who possessed powerful mental strength, Chen Quan and the others could only endure the discomfort brought by the whistle.

"Stay calm, don't pay attention to the whistle," Qi Yin commanded coldly.

Hearing this, the group retreated behind her and tried not to think about the whistling sound deliberately, and they found that it was indeed much better.

However, two minutes later, Qi Yin suddenly sensed another sixty-odd green light dots heading toward them.

Suddenly, her gaze toward the mysterious people turned even colder.

No sportsmanship at all, actually calling for backup.

"Courting death!"

With a wave of her palm, several Ice Thorn flew fiercely toward the group, freezing the surrounding water.

Before they could react, the spikes pierced through their foreheads.

Because the blood was frozen, the group of small fish clearly smelled the blood but couldn't find the target. After wandering around for a while, they finally dispersed.

However, they still had a fierce battle to fight now.

"Have you recovered? The real battle is about to begin!"

Lu Jinwen and the others were already itching for a fight and nodded fiercely.

Before they could retreat, over sixty mysterious people dressed just like the ones before emerged from the gap behind the parking lot.

One after another, in an endless stream, like the camels in the mountains drawn by that person in the childhood textbook.

"Ah!"

Xu Yongning shouted and charged into the crowd with a Wind Vortex.

"Watch me!"

Wen Yang also stayed by his side with his Earth Shield, defending while attacking.

Qi Yin, Lu Jinwen, and Chen Quan exchanged glances and began to attack with their Supernatural Abilities from different angles.

Meanwhile, because Wang Tianning focused on healing, he could only rely on his skills and awareness from his time as a special forces soldier to fight.

Although his kill count couldn't match the others, fortunately, he didn't particularly hold them back.

Normally, dealing with a mere sixty or so people shouldn't have been difficult for Qi Yin and her group.

But this time, the mysterious people seemed very well-prepared. Like zombies, they weren't afraid of pain at all; as long as they weren't dead, they would immediately crawl back up after falling.

Their skills were excellent, as if they had come here specifically to complete a certain special mission.

Gradually, Wang Tianyu began to lose ground and was forced back step by step.

Lu Jinwen and Chen Quan had no choice but to distract themselves to protect him.

But after all, it hadn't been long since their Supernatural Abilities awakened, and they couldn't hold out for much longer.

Misfortunes never come singly. At this moment, Qi Yin's mental strength sensed another twenty-odd green light dots jumping down from the water's surface.

Their target seemed to be their current location as well.

Moreover, that red dot proved that they also had an Ability User with them.

"No way, again?"

What on earth do these people do? Which faction are they from?

Qi Yin exerted all her strength, controlling Ice Cones with one hand and hacking wildly with her Tang Dao in the other.

Though it looked disorganized, every strike was fatal.

Soon, the sixty-plus mysterious people were slaughtered until only thirty or so remained.

But even so, they did not give up on taking the lives of Qi Yin and her group.

Qi Yin could still hold on, but Lu Jinwen and the others were nearing exhaustion.

If it really came down to it, she would have to knock them out, throw them into her space, and then find a way to escape herself.

Just then, twenty-odd light dots emerged from the gap they had entered through earlier.

The tall figure leading them held a long blade in his hand.

Qi Yin was sharp-eyed and caught it immediately.

"phoenix feather? It's Xiao Sinian!"

At that moment, Xiao Sinian's voice actually came through the communicators of Qi Yin and the others.

"Little Yin, take them and retreat. I'll handle this."

Seeing the others were clearly exhausted, and thinking of Xiao Sinian's dual-system Supernatural Ability, Qi Yin felt relieved and led her people to retreat to the shelves behind them.

She completely handed the battlefield over to Xiao Sinian.

Coincidentally, she had seen the violent destructive power of a thunder-system Ability User in her past life.

She wondered if Xiao Sinian's thunder Supernatural Ability would also be that powerful.

She really wanted to see it!

However, the result disappointed Qi Yin.

With Xiao Sinian and his group of "freaks," she didn't get to see the power of Supernatural Abilities at all.

Xiao Sinian dealt with ten of them, and although the others didn't have Supernatural Abilities, they won because their skills seemed to have undergone special training; taking on one each was no problem.

Qi Yin looked at the corpses floating in the water and waved her hand.

Fine, Xiao Sinian won by numbers!

"Why are you guys here?"

Xiao Sinian sheathed his long blade and scanned Qi Yin. Finding no wounds on her, he breathed a sigh of relief and pointed to the piles of supply boxes on one side.

"For these."

Qi Yin curled her lip inside her helmet.

"Are you really short of these things?"

The items in the basement of Xiao Sinian's shelter were all of top quality; he certainly wouldn't care for these worthless goods.

After thinking for a moment, Qi Yin's expression changed, and she pointed to the corpses in the water.

"You... came for them?"

The girl in front of him was simply too clever. Xiao Sinian lightly tapped her helmet and didn't deny it.

"We'll talk when we get back. Follow me!"

Xiao Sinian made a gesture, signaling everyone to follow, and turned to swim toward the back of the parking lot.

Qi Yin frowned; he seemed very familiar with this place.

After bypassing several large shelves and forklifts, the group arrived at a concrete wall that looked completely normal.

Xiao Sinian felt around a certain spot on the wall and triggered some mechanism.

With a soft click, the entire wall actually slid open from the side.

A massive entrance appeared before their eyes, and a huge current of water surged out from inside, nearly knocking them off their feet.

Lu Jinwen was extremely shocked. "Oh my god, who designed this entrance? It's too clever."
