Li Nali pointed to the road outside. "The nearest pizza shop, if it wants to deliver food, will only take the road in front of us, so as long as we see the delivery man passing by, we will go there."

Su Xiao has a problem.

"But what if they don't order pizza?"

"Nothing to do. I've been watching them for a few days. They don't order anything except pizza. They are very picky eaters."

Li Nali glanced at the time on his phone and said, "It's afternoon now, at most we can go back in the evening."

So the two of them waited at this commanding height.

Time passed, and soon it was night.

Night falls.

However, many street lights on the street do not work due to lack of maintenance.

Even if it is lit, it flashes and makes a sizzling sound.

Su Xiao calls up the time.

It's half past seven in the evening.

"I said Officer Li, do you know it's half past seven now?"

Li Nali looked a little embarrassed.

"Maybe they were too full at lunch, so dinner was late."

Su Xiao shook his head secretly.

If it's nine o'clock, those Scavengers haven't ordered takeout yet.

He just went right in.

He doesn't have that much time to spend time with a bunch of rats.

However, before that, let's take care of dinner first.

Suddenly, Li Nali remembered that they hadn't eaten anything yet.

"What do you want to eat? I'll order takeout."

"How about ordering pizza..."

Su Xiao would like to have a big meal.

But the Female Cop fat sheep in front of me is not suitable.

And right now they still have a mission to do.

It is not appropriate to eat a big meal either.

Pizza, burgers, pancakes... these are the most appropriate ones.

Li Nali then called the pizza shop, "That's okay."

Not long after, a wagyu super supreme pizza was quickly delivered by the delivery man.

When you open the lid, the rich and juicy aroma will hit your nostrils.

The large slices of Wagyu beef grilled until the edges are slightly curled, are tender and juicy, and melt in your mouth.

It is paired with carefully selected fresh fillings such as high-quality smoked bacon, chicken thighs, mozzarella cheese, cherry tomatoes, green peppers, and pineapples.

Li Nali's eyes were straightened.

He immediately picked up a piece and, regardless of his ladylike image, ate it with gusto.

The pizza was quickly eaten by the two of them.

One and a half hours passed by in a blink of an eye.

Su Xiao looked at the time again.

It's already nine o'clock in the evening.

It's already so late, no matter how full those Scavengers are at lunch, they should be hungry by this point.

Therefore, Su Xiao couldn't help but suspect that the Scavengers group was probably no longer in the underground mall.

He has not used Tactical Goggles to scan before.

Because the underground shopping mall is more than a thousand meters away, beyond the scanning range.

But now he estimates that those rats may no longer be in the underground mall.

In order to find out, Su Xiao stood up from the ground and walked downstairs.

"Let's go take a look."

Li Nali was shocked. "What if we scare the snake?"

Su Xiao quickly went downstairs without looking back. "It's okay, we really go in. As long as we go outside, I can find out what's going on inside."

"But..."

Li Nali is still a little hesitant.

But while talking, Su Xiao had already come downstairs and got on the Fenrir motorcycle

"Are you coming or not?"

Looking at Su Xiao's posture, it is obvious that if Li Nali doesn't get up, he will leave.

Li Nali bit his lip

I also feel that it is not okay to continue spending time outside like this, and out of intuition, she is more

I think those Scavengers may have been transferred

If they continue to wait here, they will not only waste time, but they may also miss the opportunity to follow clues.

Thinking of this, Li Nali stepped forward and got into Su Xiao's car.

The distance of more than a thousand meters is not far.

It didn't take long for Su Xiao to drive Fenrir and bring Li Nali to the outside of the underground shopping mall.

He turned on the scan mode of Tactical Goggles.

A circle of red light that only he could see spread out.

The scanned picture is presented on Tactical Goggles.

As expected, there was no red humanoid outline at all.

This shows that Scavengers in the underground shopping mall has long been empty.

"There's no one down there anymore, everyone's gone."

"What?"

Li Nali was dumbfounded.

The first reaction was disbelief.

"How do you know?"

"You don't believe it? Then I'll take you down and see for yourself."

Since it was confirmed that there was no one underneath, Su Xiao simply did not get out of the car.

Just drive down.

Li Nali, who was sitting on the back seat of the motorcycle, was shocked.

"You... stop..."

But Su Xiao didn't listen to her at all.

With a blast of the accelerator, the violent motorcycle rushed into the underground shopping mall.

After a few seconds, Su Xiao stopped the locomotive.

"See for yourself, is there no one left?"

Li Nali was stunned for a moment.

She looked around.

In this huge underground shopping mall, if there are people there, there will be no sound or light at all.

But now, except for the breathing of the two of them and the light of Fenrir's headlights, there was no sound and no light could be seen.

"It's impossible. They were still here when I was watching them yesterday."

"Then I left during the day."

These Scavengers are not necessarily the discovery of Li Nali, it is most likely a coincidence.

But whatever the reason, they are no longer here now.

Su Xiao got off the locomotive.

He planned to look around.

See if you can find any clues.

Li Nali bit his lip.

Also reluctant to search everywhere.

Chapter 137 Killing is to protect lives, killing karma is not killing people (3K)

A few minutes later, the two met at the Fenrir locomotive.

Su Xiao asked.

"Did you find anything over there?"

Li Nali looked disgusted. "Leftover pizza, dirty clothes, and a used condom."

This group of Scavengers took away everything they could.

Only garbage is left.

Unfortunately, there is nothing left that can tell the two of them where these Scavengers went.

Li Nali was very upset. "I wish I had contacted you two days ago."

"You have done a good job, there is no need to blame yourself."

Su Xiao comforted.

According to Li Nali, those Scavengers have been in this underground mall for several days.

Who would have thought that they would just leave today, and exactly when Li Nali was looking for him.

Although this gang Scavengers was not caught, it is not Li Nali's fault.

Compared with other people in the NCPD who just want to eat and die, Li Nali really shouldn't be criticized harshly.

Just when the two were about to go out.

Su Xiao was stunned for a moment.

Because he discovered that two red humanoid outlines suddenly appeared on Tactical Goggles.

And it's not just passing by.

I came here just for this underground shopping mall.

"Someone is coming."

Li Nali subconsciously looked in the direction of the exit.

Pitch black.

Nothing can be seen.

Then how did Su Xiao know that someone was coming?

"Trust me."
