He didn’t dodge or evade, instead, he raised his fist and slammed it down hard!
The man’s knife landed on Shi Haizhu’s fist, causing sparks to fly, as if it had struck a rock.
Shi Haizhu swung his other fist towards the opponent.
The man suddenly retreated, moving with lightning speed, and Shi Haizhu couldn’t catch him at all.
Yang Shenmin immediately understood and said, "A Speed Superpower User! Miss Liu, it’s your turn!"
Liu Feifei promptly responded, "I’m on it!"
Her eyes flashed with a mystical light, and the Speed Superpower User immediately froze in place, dazed.
Seizing the opportunity, Shi Haizhu charged forward.
He was about to punch the man’s forehead.
But suddenly, a circle of light shone brightly!
Before Shi Haizhu could react, the circle of light exploded, sending Shi Haizhu flying backward.
With a thud, he crashed against the wall beside the roller shutter door.
Yang Shenmin was shocked: "Zhuzi!"
He looked toward the direction of the light circle and saw a woman standing there, her hand retracting slowly.
She said in a deep voice, "Defense Superpower, Spiritual Attack, I’ve never seen you before. You aren’t Wang Weidong’s people!"
Yang Shenmin cautiously observed the woman, and behind her, six more people emerged one after another.
"Who are you?" Yang Shenmin asked in a deep voice.
At the same time, he looked towards Shi Haizhu by the wall.
He saw Shi Haizhu climbing out of the rubble, cursing under his breath but refraining from making any sudden moves.
Clearly, he also sensed something was off.
These people didn’t seem to be the targets they were looking for this time.
Song Wen and the others hurried over as well.
With more people on their side, their imposing manner seemed to grow stronger.
With Song Wen’s arrival, the Mutated Sunflowers illuminated the entire shop.
Everyone also clearly saw the appearance of the woman opposite them.
This woman looked to be in her early thirties, wearing a small suit jacket on her upper body with a black silk shirt underneath. A red string was tied around her snowy white neck, and whatever it held sank deep into her cleavage.
Her lower body was adorned with suit pants of the same color, but instead of high heels, she wore black leather shoes.
Her overall demeanor exuded the aura of a strong woman.
However, a tiny mole at the corner of her eye added a touch of allure, slightly undermining her authoritative aura.
At this moment, she looked sternly at the group of strangers, her heart filled with suspicion.
In the past six months, she had recognized everyone in Henglong Building.
Yet she couldn’t name a single person in this group, which truly surprised her.
As her thoughts raced, she quickly understood that this group must have come from outside!
They were definitely not Wang Weidong’s people!
Realizing this, she immediately had an idea.
This group could possibly be recruited to serve her purposes and help her fight against Wang Weidong!
With this in mind, her stern expression softened, and she took the initiative to smile and speak, "Ladies and gentlemen, I think there has been a misunderstanding."
"I am Qin Jing, the manager of Henglong Hotel. These here are my companions. We are unaware of how we might have offended you to cause this unnecessary misunderstanding."
Her tone was sincere and composed, showing no fear despite Yang Shenmin’s larger group.
Yang Shenmin exchanged glances with his companions, and finally, he spoke, "Ms. Qin, are there only your group of survivors in Henglong Building, or is there another group?"
Qin Jing’s heart stirred, and she smiled, "May I ask what your business is? Why do you inquire about this?"
Yang Shenmin did not answer and only said, "Just tell me if there is or isn’t."
Qin Jing’s heart skipped a beat, realizing this person was no social novice and had more depth than she had anticipated.
She remained silent, but the speed-type superpower user beside her immediately shouted angrily, "What kind of attitude is that, speaking to Sister Jing that way?"
Qin Jing frowned, reprimanding the young man.
Yue Feng gave Yang Shenmin a hostile look but said no more.
Yang Shenmin ignored Yue Feng and sneered, "Lady, we are not from Henglong Building. We witnessed someone in Henglong Building committing murder and disposing of bodies, attracting terrifying monsters from the flood to attack us."
"We have a debt to settle here."
Qin Jing raised her eyebrows in surprise, "You really came from outside?"
"With the flooding outside, how did you manage to travel?"
"And the monsters in the water, how did you handle them?"
"Did you encounter any rescue teams on your way? Any official news?"
She fired off a series of questions, sounding rather excited.
Yang Shenmin responded sternly, "You haven’t answered my question yet!"
Qin Jing was taken aback and quickly explained, "Indeed, there is another group in Henglong Building. Based on what you’ve said, it does seem like their doing."
"I won’t hide it from you; in Henglong Building, there’s another group that is well-organized and numerous. We are being oppressed by them and have no choice but to hide down here."
Yang Shenmin understood, realizing his guess was correct.
It matched his suspicion.
Henglong Building could not possibly be controlled by just one faction.
Given its size and many floors, there must be divided allegiances.
Yang Shenmin wanted to inquire more about the situation, but Song Wen could no longer hold back.
She interrupted, "Miss Qin, can you explain what the singing monster on the 24th floor is all about?"
"You’ve been to the 24th floor?"
Qin Jing’s face changed with shock, exclaiming in surprise.
Behind her, Yue Feng and the others looked at the group with strange expressions.
The people behind them whispered among themselves, occasionally glancing over.
Song Wen saw their reactions and knew there must be something special about the 24th floor.
She anxiously asked, "What is it?"
Qin Jing shook her head slightly, marveling, "You are very lucky to have escaped the 24th floor alive."
"What do you mean?" Liu Feifei couldn’t help but ask.
Qin Jing sighed, "In the past two months, I haven’t seen anyone leaving the 24th floor alive."
"The 24th floor, along with the 28th floor, is considered a forbidden zone. Anyone who enters is unlikely to survive."
"We’ve managed to evade Wang Weidong’s gang and survive up to now mainly because we dared to pass through the 28th floor, which Wang Weidong’s people do not dare to come down to."
"As for the 24th floor, we absolutely never enter it."
