After stocking up at the maximum level, all the handsome men in the apocalypse are looking for suppo

Chapter 62 System Alarm
Su Wanqing was using a calculator to check the numbers on the material list, leaning straight back in her chair.

The warehouse-style layout of the converted coffee shop allows her to clearly see the situation in each area.

The supplies purchased in recent days have piled up like a mountain. Although I can use the jade bracelet system to get rebates, it is still a huge project to take stock carefully.

Suddenly, a burning sensation spread across my left wrist. Then, the ancestral jade bracelet emitted a dazzling red light, and a red warning box popped up, clearly displaying: "Hostile forces detected, defense system activated."

Su Wanqing instantly jumped up from her chair, her brow furrowed. Hostile forces?
She subconsciously looked around at the busy people, and a feeling of unease welled up in her heart.

She raised her hand and carefully looked at the red warning box on the jade bracelet, then glanced at the new option at the bottom of the interface: "Weapon Rebate".

"What... does this mean?" she whispered to herself.

She clicked on the "Weapon Rebate" option, and the system immediately popped up an explanation: "When a security threat is detected, weapons and other items will also enjoy a tenfold rebate, but will require double the points."

Double points? It sounds a bit hurtful, but if you can get enough weapons in return, it's worth it.

Su Wanqing thought about this and pondered in her mind.

"Just give it a try."

She quickly searched for "pistol" on the shopping interface, and soon a black Glock 17 appeared.

The price is shown as 1500 yuan.

"Buy!"

She gave the order without hesitation.

The sound of the card machine swiping was particularly piercing in the coffee shop. However, this was just the beginning.

When she looked at the shopping interface again, she was stunned. The Glock 17 she originally had was now ten.

The ammunition also increased by ten, enough for a team.

"Ten times the rebate...it's true." There was a hint of surprise in Su Wanqing's voice.

At this time, Lu Zhao walked over quickly with a simple homemade electronic detector in his hand.

"Su Wanqing, I found something."

He walked over to the table and placed the detector on it. "I used a radio and a homemade antenna to detect electronic interference signals around us. It's like someone is using professional equipment to monitor us."

"Surveillance?" Su Wanqing felt uneasy. "Who?"

Lu Zhao pointed to the detector in his hand and said, "The interference source comes from about two kilometers northwest, which is exactly on the extension line of the office building. I made a detector that can roughly determine the direction of the interference source."

He paused, then added, "The equipment they use is very professional, and the signal is very strong, so it's very difficult to block it."

Su Wanqing's heart skipped a beat. An office building? That was the direction Xiao Ran and the others had explored yesterday!
At this moment, the jade bracelet interface changed again, and a simple floor plan of the shopping mall appeared.

There are multiple red dots marked on the map, which are approaching the safe zone at different speeds.

"What are these red dots?" Su Wanqing asked.

The jade bracelet system automatically popped up an explanation: "Red dots represent hostile targets, marked according to threat level. Red represents high-level threats, yellow represents medium-level threats, and green represents low-level threats."

Su Wanqing's expression became even more serious. It seemed that the situation was worse than she had imagined.

"Call a meeting of core members immediately." She said in a deep voice.

A few minutes later, Lu Zhao, Lin Che, and Xiao Ran all gathered in the coffee shop's conference room.

Zhang Lin was already waiting there, responsible for recording the meeting content.

"The situation is urgent now." Su Wanqing said straight to the point, "The jade bracelet system has just detected an intrusion by hostile forces, and the number of them is not small."

She projected the floor plan of the jade bracelet onto the wall, showing everyone the locations of the red dots.

"These red dots are approaching us. It's obvious that the enemy has discovered us and is gathering troops."

Xiao Ran narrowed his eyes and studied the map carefully. "Which direction did they come from?"

“They mainly come from the east side of the city, with a small number coming from the north and south.”

Lu Zhao replied, "Based on my judgment, their target is very clear, and that is the shopping mall where we are."

Lin Che's voice was filled with worry: "What about the other party's equipment? Is it possible that they have superpowers?"

Su Wanqing shook her head. "The system didn't show the other party's detailed information, but according to my intuition, the other party must be quite powerful, otherwise it would be impossible to hide from our reconnaissance."

"Moreover," Lu Zhao added, "the other party is still using electronic jamming equipment to try to block our communications. It seems that they are fully prepared."

"What should we do now?" Zhang Lin couldn't help but ask, her voice a little nervous.

Su Wanqing took a deep breath and tried to remain calm. "First, we need to strengthen our defenses. Xiao Ran, you'll be responsible for arranging personnel to reinforce each entrance and set up roadblocks and traps. Lu Zhao, you'll be responsible for restoring communications and removing as much interference as possible. Lin Che, you'll continue to monitor the office building and see if you can detect any movements by the enemy."

"Okay!" the three people responded at the same time.

"Also," Su Wanqing looked at Lu Zhao, "I just tested the weapon rebate function of the jade bracelet system, which can obtain weapons and ammunition at a tenfold rate. Although it requires double points, the situation is urgent now, and we must increase firepower as soon as possible."

"I'll go buy some necessary weapons right away." Lu Zhao nodded.

"Also," Su Wanqing paused and looked at everyone, "Don't trust anyone easily. Wang Feng has already escaped, and we can't rule out the possibility that he's the other party's accomplice. Everyone should be vigilant and strengthen precautions."

Xiao Ran clenched his fists: "Don't worry, Su Wanqing, we will definitely protect this place and will never let anyone destroy our safety."

"I believe in you." Su Wanqing nodded and prayed silently in her heart, hoping that they could get through this difficult time.

She looked at the red dot flashing on the jade bracelet screen, and a strong sense of crisis arose in her heart.

A crisis is quietly approaching. Late at night, the cordon on the second floor of the shopping mall was broken by a sudden commotion.

At the entrance where Xiao Ran was in charge, there were sounds of fierce arguments and dull fighting.

Su Wanqing stood up almost at the same time, alarm bells ringing in her heart.

"What's going on?" she asked in a low voice, walking to Lu Zhao's side.

Lu Zhao's face was solemn as he was quickly analyzing the flashing red alarm on the jade bracelet interface.

"Someone has forcibly broken through the defenses on the first floor. Xiao Ran is controlling the situation."

Before Su Wanqing could react, Xiao Ran's voice came over the intercom: "Su Wanqing, we've caught him! A guy covered in blood, claiming to have escaped!"

"Bring him up!" Su Wanqing ordered immediately.

A few minutes later, Xiao Ran escorted a young man into the meeting room.

The man looked to be about twenty years old, wearing tattered clothes, his face covered in dirt and blood, his breathing was weak and he could faint at any time.

His left arm was wrapped in several layers of rough cloth, and he was obviously injured.

"Let him go." Su Wanqing signaled to Xiao Ran.

Xiao Ran didn't waste any time and pushed the man in front of Su Wanqing.

The man staggered and nearly fell, barely catching himself.

"What's your name? Where are you from?" Su Wanqing asked straight to the point with a cold tone.

The man raised his head with difficulty, his eyes filled with fear and vigilance.

"My...my name is Dai Hao. I...I escaped from the east side of the city."

"East of the city?" Lu Zhao raised an eyebrow. "What did you escape from?"

Dai Hao took a deep breath, as if trying to calm himself down.

"New... New Order. I... I escaped from the New Order."

"New order?" Su Wanqing repeated, feeling vaguely uneasy.

She looked at Lu Zhao, and Lu Zhao also shook his head, indicating that he was not clear about the situation.

"Who are they?" Su Wanqing continued to ask.

Dai Hao's voice trembled as he spoke, "They... they're a group of former soldiers and militants, led by a retired officer named Liu Zheng. They've taken control of the eastern part of the city, looting supplies and killing dissidents."

"Liu Zheng?" Lu Zhao muttered to himself, "I seem to have heard this name somewhere."

"What's their purpose?" Lin Che asked from the side, his eyes fixed on Dai Hao, as if trying to see through his lies.

Dai Hao swallowed and said, "They... they want to establish a 'new order.' They say the end of the world has come and only they can save humanity. They want to control all resources and establish a world ruled by them."

Su Wanqing felt a chill in her heart. This kind of organization was often more terrifying than zombies.

"Are they watching us here?" she asked.

Dai Hao nodded. "Yes... They've been monitoring us for several days. They've confirmed the abundance of supplies here and are planning an armed 'takeover' in three days. They... they mean plunder when they say 'takeover.'"

"Robbery?" Xiao Ran sneered, "It seems they want to get something for nothing."

Dai Hao slowly raised his left wrist, revealing a hideous mark of strangulation and several tiny needle holes on it.

"What is this?" Zhang Lin couldn't help but ask, her voice filled with a hint of disgust.

Dai Hao said painfully, "This... This is the method they use to control their members. They will inject a homemade drug that makes people highly dependent. Once you are addicted, you must obey their orders, otherwise... Otherwise you will be tortured."

Su Wanqing's face turned ashen. This method was more cruel than any torture.

At this moment, Lu Zhao's expression suddenly changed. He quickly took out his cell phone from his pocket and said, "I understand! Wang Feng! He is the spy of the New Order!"

"Wang Feng?" Su Wanqing exclaimed. She immediately remembered Wang Feng's suspicious behavior and evasive answer.

"I just checked his residence and found a small signal transmitter and a map with several key points of the safe zone marked on it!"

Lu Zhao gritted his teeth and said, "He has passed our information to the New Order!"

"Damn it!" Xiao Ran slammed his fist on the table. "I knew he wasn't a good person!"

"Go find him immediately!" Su Wanqing ordered, "We must catch him and find out the conspiracy behind him!"

Lu Zhao and several team members quickly left the meeting room.

A few minutes later, Lu Zhao's voice came through the intercom again, with a hint of helplessness in his tone: "Oh no! He has disappeared! The window is wide open, he has obviously escaped."

Su Wanqing's heart sank to the bottom. Wang Feng's escape meant that the New Order had already obtained their intelligence. The days ahead would be even more dangerous.

"It seems we have to prepare for the worst." Su Wanqing said, her tone firm and calm.

She raised her head and looked at everyone present. "We can't let the new order succeed! We must protect this place and ourselves!"

Lin Che stood in the corner, watching all this silently. His eyes were filled with worry, but more of it was determination.

Dai Hao huddled in a corner, shivering. He looked at Su Wanqing and the others, his eyes filled with despair.

He didn't know if he could get out of here alive, but he knew he had to tell them the truth about the New Order, even if it meant sacrificing his own life.
