Isn't the sidewalk quite wide?

"Yueyue, which mall are you at?!" Su Li asked anxiously.

"I'm at Jinzhan Shopping Mall, on the second floor..." Su Lin Yue's voice trembled noticeably.

"Listen, Yueyue! Quickly find a safe place to hide. I'm coming over now!"

Hanging up the phone, Su Li threw on an old coat, grabbed her car keys, and rushed out of the house.

Jinzhan Shopping Mall was located in the city center. If she had to rely on the nearest police station, it would take at least fifteen minutes for them to arrive.

Fortunately, her home was relatively close, usually only a six or seven-minute drive.

"Faster! Faster!" The black SUV roared, charging onto the main road with immense momentum.

The needles on the dashboard climbed wildly: 80, 100, 130... 150!

Driving at 150 km/h in the city was like playing with death.

But at this moment, despite her heart burning with anxiety, Su Li's mind and body operated with terrifying calmness.

"Whoosh—whoosh—" The black SUV became a black lightning bolt weaving through the dense traffic, swerving left, right, changing lanes, and overtaking.

Each lane change was precise to the millimeter, like a top player executing extreme micro-maneuvers.

Drivers around could only see a blur as the car zipped past them.

"What the f***?! Street racers in broad daylight? This is the city! Are they trying to die?!" Passersby poked their heads out and cursed loudly.

However, a city was still a city.

At a traffic light, the traffic ahead was completely gridlocked.

"Tsk!" Su Li anxiously scanned her surroundings. Time was of the essence; she couldn't wait a second.

What to do? Su Li's gaze swept around, and she noticed the road conditions next to her.

Wasn't this sidewalk quite wide?

Without hesitation, Su Li yanked the steering wheel hard and floored the accelerator.

The black SUV forcefully climbed over the road curb and directly onto the sidewalk!

"Whoosh—" Fortunately, there were no pedestrians on the sidewalk at that moment, allowing the SUV to speed forward on the pedestrian path.

Meanwhile, in the city traffic police command center, a piercing system warning suddenly echoed through the hall.

"Report! The monitoring system has detected a black SUV speeding on the sidewalk of Zhongshan Road! Speed, speed up to 150 km/h?! No, it's 160 now!" The monitor's voice had changed pitch.

"What?! 150 km/h on a sidewalk? This is a major threat to public safety!" The captain slammed his hand on the desk.

"Immediately notify all traffic police on the road to intercept this vehicle with full force!"

"Yes!"

On the other side, the downtown police station was also in chaos.

The incoming calls from the emergency line were incessant, and the operators were almost out of breath.

"Hello, this is... what? Skeletons at Jinzhan Shopping Mall? Please calm down, citizen..."

At first, the operator thought someone was making a prank call.

But as more and more calls came in, all pointing to Jinzhan Shopping Mall, the operator's expression quickly turned serious.

He immediately took off his headset and rushed into the director's office.

"Director Wang! Something's happened! Jinzhan Shopping Mall has received numerous reports of skeleton monsters appearing inside!"

Director Wang frowned, "Skeleton monsters?"

"The callers said they are skeleton monsters! And people are already injured!"

"You mean to say there are skeleton monsters at Jinzhan Shopping Mall? Are you watching a sci-fi movie?!" Director Wang was about to reprimand him when the internal line on his desk suddenly rang.

It was a call from the traffic police.

"Old Wang, we're tracking a severely speeding black SUV, license plate XXX. It's speeding towards Jinzhan Shopping Mall in your jurisdiction. Be ready to intercept!"

"Huh?" Director Wang felt that the day's events were taking on a surreal quality. Street racers and skeleton monsters all at once?

Before he could make sense of it, another phone rang.

As soon as he picked up, the director's stern and urgent voice came through:

"Old Wang! Immediately seal off Jinzhan Shopping Mall! Ensure the safety of the citizens. SWAT reinforcements will arrive soon! This is not a drill, repeat, this is not a drill!"

Director Wang's heart pounded. He immediately realized the gravity of the situation, his expression turning incredibly serious.

"Contact the police station at Jinzhan Shopping Mall immediately. Have them check the situation first and organize the evacuation of the public! Everyone, grab your gear and respond immediately!"

"Wail—wail—" The piercing sound of police sirens erupted one after another.

Meanwhile, Su Li had arrived.

The journey that normally took six minutes at 80 km/h was covered by her in less than three minutes.

Seeing the barrier ahead, Su Li didn't care if the car could stop. She floored the accelerator and smashed through the barrier, parking her car imposingly at the mall's main entrance.

The area around the mall was already in utter chaos, with countless citizens screaming and pouring out of every exit, fleeing in all directions.

Some confused passersby who had just arrived nearby, seeing the large-scale escape, instinctively ran out with them.

However, amidst this chaotic exodus, there were still a few young people holding selfie sticks, their eyes gleaming as they rushed into the mall.

"Family! Jinzhan Shopping Mall is rumored to have supernatural creatures! Hit that follow button, your streamer is taking you inside to explore!" For the sake of traffic, these people were risking their lives.

Su Li didn't even glance at these suicidal influencers. She casually pulled out a baseball bat she kept in her car for self-defense and headed straight for the second floor.

On the first floor of the mall, a little girl was being tightly hugged by her mother as they ran outside.

The little girl looked back and happened to see Su Li's dashing figure charging forward with the bat.

"Mom, that big sister just now was so pretty!"

"Stop looking! Run!"

On the second floor, Su Li's gaze constantly swept across her surroundings.

What met her eyes was a scene of devastation: shattered glass, overturned display cabinets, and many people cowering in corners.

Suddenly, her gaze locked onto the entrance of a clothing store not far away.

There, a group of people were tensely confronting something.

It was a young male and female police officer, armed with batons and riot shields, protecting two girls behind them.

One of the girls was her younger sister, Su Lin Yue! The other was her good friend.

And in front of the two officers, two monsters with bone-white skeletons and eerie blue soul fire flickering in their eye sockets were roaming.

These were Skeleton Soldiers from the Eternal Realm! They had actually appeared in the real world!

The two officers were clearly very nervous, their hands gripping their batons trembling slightly.

After all, who had ever seen a moving skeleton in their life? But even so, they stood their ground, fulfilling their duty to protect the two young girls behind them without retreating an inch.

"Don't be afraid, we'll protect you. Reinforcements are on their way!" The female officer even turned her head slightly, softly comforting the two girls behind her.

Seeing her sister unharmed, the heavy stone in Su Li's heart finally fell.

Her gaze shifted to the two skeleton soldiers.

"I thought it was some kind of big boss, but it's just two low-level skeleton cannon fodder."

As a veteran player who had "beaten skeletons to a pulp" in the game, Su Li knew their strength well. Even an ordinary person could deal with them if they overcame their fear.

Since they were just two weaklings, there was nothing to worry about.

Su Li's eyes sharpened as she gripped her baseball bat, then she strode forward.

The female officer felt someone approaching and turned her head, only to see a beautiful young girl.

Not only was this girl not running, but she was charging towards the monsters with a bat!

The female officer immediately panicked and shouted anxiously, "Don't come over, miss! It's dangerous here! Leave quickly!"

Su Lin Yue, hiding behind, heard the voice, poked her head out, and shouted excitedly:

"Older Brother!!"

Su Li ignored them for the moment, her eyes fixed only on the two skeletons' most vulnerable connection points.

Then, she swung her baseball bat in a wide arc and smashed down hard!
