Versatile Mage: Choose one of three Hexes at the start

Chapter 24 Rescue
In the supermarket on the basement floor of the shopping plaza south of Mingwen Middle School.

The survivors were hiding helplessly in it. At this moment, the square was flooded with blood. However, the supermarket had not been discovered by the monsters because the only way to get down was by elevator.

"Will we never be rescued?" A voice suddenly rang out from the quiet crowd.

The supermarket manager looked at the crowd and said with a numb expression, "This is a bloody alert. The senior executives are probably too busy to take care of themselves. How could there be any rescue?"

As soon as the words fell, the entire supermarket fell into an eerie silence again.

After an unknown amount of time, a middle-aged man with a stubbled face suddenly stood up and said, "No, staying here means waiting to die. I want to go to Anjie."

The man took a few steps toward the door when, seemingly struck by something, he turned and said, "I've been a plumber for decades. I'm very familiar with the underground passages in Bo City. If you don't want to sit and wait for death, you can follow me."

Hearing this, everyone was instantly excited.

The panic that had been pent up in my heart seemed to be released a little.

"I'll go with you!"

"Yes, yes! Let's get out of here quickly."

"Hurry up and go. I won't feel at ease if I don't go to Anjie."

More than ten people in the supermarket urged.

Just as everyone was quickly packing up and preparing to leave, a woman's voice suddenly rang out from the corner: "Please wait a moment. She can't walk. Who can carry her?"

The plumber and some other people had already walked out of the supermarket at this point and didn't hear what the woman said at all.

Only a few people who had not yet had time to leave looked back.

"Please, don't abandon her." The woman pleaded hurriedly to the people who turned back.

The eyes of the few people who turned around flickered for a moment, but finally they turned their heads around and caught up with the main group.

Only one honest-looking woman seemed a little reluctant, but she gritted her teeth and said, "Carrying her will seriously affect our speed to the Anjie, and we may not be discovered by the demons here. Girl, if you want to leave, hurry up and follow us."

"You go with them." At this time, Ye Xinxia, ​​who was sitting in a wheelchair, also said to the strange woman beside her.

"I'm sorry." The woman felt extremely guilty, but she couldn't just stay and wait to die.

Ye Xinxia shook her head, took off the bracelet and handed it to the woman, smiling, "Thank you very much. If you can reach Anjie, please give this to my family."

The woman memorized the names Ye Xinxia mentioned, then turned around and chased after the main group.

Soon, Ye Xinxia was the only one left in the supermarket.

The cold lights from the roof add an inexplicable atmosphere to the supermarket.

Ye Xinxia, ​​sitting in the wheelchair, had a very calm expression, as if she had already put life and death aside, but it could be seen from her small hands tightly clutching her dress.

Her heart was not as calm as it seemed.

Not long after, the small stone flew above the inscription area.

"Help!"

"It's a demon! Run!"

"Wait for me!!"

Hearing a cry for help, Su Chi looked down from the air.

On an empty asphalt road, a giant-eyed rat was hunting humans.

Not far behind the giant-eyed rat, several bloody corpses were lying there.

Su Chi frowned and stepped on the small stone: "Little stone, kill it."

The giant dragon, having received the order, did not hesitate at all. It opened its mouth wide and quickly condensed a brown energy ball, spitting it towards the giant-eyed rat.

The burst of energy instantly transformed into a rock spike in the air, pinning the giant-eyed rat to the ground. The people who had been fleeing in panic noticed the demon had been destroyed and stopped immediately. They bent over, supporting themselves with their hands on their thighs, and panted heavily.

"Where did you escape from?"

Before they could catch their breath, they heard a voice coming from above their heads.

Several people quickly raised their heads and saw a giant dragon hovering above their heads.

There was a person standing on the dragon's head.

"Respected Master Mage, thank you for saving our lives. We initially hid in the underground supermarket of Inscription Shopping Plaza and originally planned to go to Anjie through the underground pipeline." One of the young men in uniform and gold glasses answered.

"Underground pipes? Don't you know that giant-eyed fish rats love to dig holes? The underground of Bo City has almost become their home." Su Chi was speechless after hearing this.

"Master Mage, we are all ordinary people," the young man said cautiously.

Su Chi thought about it and realized that ordinary people would never remember these things.

"Have you seen a girl in a wheelchair along the way?" Su Chi stopped dwelling on this topic and began to inquire about Ye Xinxia.

After hearing Su Chi's words, several men looked at each other in surprise. However, a woman asked softly, "I know someone, but I don't know if he is your target?"

Su Chi's eyes fixed, and he asked, "Where is she?"

"It's in the underground supermarket in the shopping mall. She couldn't walk, so she stayed there. By the way, this is the bracelet she entrusted me to give to her family before I left." After the woman said this, she quickly took out the bracelet in her pocket.

Su Chi looked at the bracelet, which was exactly the same as the one Xinxia had worn before. It seemed that it was definitely Xinxia's.

"Take me to find her, and I will help you get to Anjie." Su Chi stopped talking nonsense and said to the girl.

"Okay, thank you." The woman looked excited.

"Sir, can you take us with you?" The young man spoke again.

"I can't take so many people here." Su Chi ignored them. It was already good enough that he could save their lives. How could he be their bodyguard when they were not even related to him?
As Xiao Shitou stretched out his front paws to grab the woman who provided the clue, the two of them and the dragon flew directly towards the shopping mall.

In the underground supermarket.

Everything around was eerily quiet.

Ye Xinxia, ​​who had been sitting quietly for a long time, seemed to have made a decision. She slowly moved her wheelchair towards the area in the supermarket where knives were kept.

Soon, a fruit knife appeared in her hand.

His eyes fixed on the knife in his hand, and his little hand began to tremble slightly.

After a long moment, Ye Xinxia slowly exhaled, placed the fruit knife gently on her lap, and closed her eyes.

As if accepting his fate, he was waiting for danger to come.

She didn't know how long it had been, but in a daze she seemed to hear the voice of the woman from before.

"She's over here."

Accompanied by a burst of hurried footsteps, Ye Xinxia slowly opened her eyes.

The woman who had left before came back. Not only that, there was a strange man wearing a cloak and a mask on his face beside her.

However, when the strange man in front of her took off his mask, Ye Xinxia finally saw his face clearly.

At this moment, she couldn't help but shed tears, and her previous pretense of strength turned into excitement.

"Xinxia!"

"Brother Su Chi!!"
