The villainous magical girl's daily mission is to find fault.

Chapter 313 Eating Rats and the Hunting Group

Red zircon and amethyst were tucked away in a corner of the mall.

The sniper rifle was propped up inside the broken supermarket window. Red Zircon tentatively peered out to observe the situation outside, then quickly pulled his head back in.

"How is it? What's going on?"

"I bet Hyacinth and the others are waiting outside. You two better not go out."

"Don't listen to Peridot. We need to get moving quickly, otherwise Fenrir might sneak over..."

As the opossum red zircon heard its teammate's voice in its mind, it expressionlessly lay back down next to the flying squirrel purple fluorite.

Before entering the mall, the Aquamarine team encountered a boss unit fully equipped with Hellcat armor.

However, Hellcat did not stop the four-person team from going to get the gold. After a brief firefight, it withdrew from the school building, leaving the four somewhat confused.

But no one expected that just as the four of them were sneaking into the mall with the gold, they would suddenly encounter the Hyacinth Squad in the aisle.

The two sides clashed fiercely. Hyacinth was seriously injured and fell to the ground, while Iris's armor was completely destroyed by the splashing water. However, Aquamarine and Peridot were turned into boxes.

"What a pity, we almost killed the iris."

"Yeah, but I didn't expect that even after turning into a box, I could still observe from my teammates' perspective. It's quite interesting."

"I am the fountain commander," Aquamarine said with a smile, and started chatting with Peridot in the teammate channel.

But this internal voice chat was giving Red Zircon a real headache.

"Can you two just be quiet for a second!"

Possum Red Zircon finally couldn't hold back any longer and mentally complained,

"And stop chatting here! Wouldn't it be better to chat with Ziyingshi instead?!"

"Because Amethyst is a sniper, it would be bad if it interfered with her shooting," said Commander Aquamarine.

"So it's good that it interferes with my observation!"

"Oh well, there's no one around right now anyway, chatting for a bit won't bother you—"

"Wait, be quiet, something's up."

Before he could finish speaking, the sharp-eyed commander of the springs, Peridot, suddenly called a halt.

The three people chatting in the squad channel immediately fell silent and looked in the direction indicated by the peridot.

"...Amethyst, can you hear us?" Peridot whispered into the team's public chat.

"able."

"Turn your gun towards the window at your three o'clock position, over the aisle."

The M200 sniper rifle was immediately adjusted, pointing towards the location indicated by the olivine indicator.

Two figures, one pink and one gray, appeared in the observer's binoculars and the sniper's scope.

The flying squirrel purple fluorite and the opossum red zircon squinted their eyes.

"It's Fenrir. What's that big pink thing next to her?"

As if confirming the four people's doubts in the team chat, an announcement suddenly came over the mall's loudspeakers:

"Looks like the last team has entered the mall too. Did everyone have fun today? Have you collected enough gold to head to the extraction point?"

Xin Yuehu's soft, sweet voice carried a hint of amusement, but the words she spoke filled everyone with dread.

"In that case, I, Fox, will have to give everyone a bit more of a challenge~"

"Next, a hunting squad composed of bosses will appear in the mall, so everyone must be careful of the cats and bunnies' tracks~"

The broadcast switched to an electronic voice, reciting an even more horrifying string of lines:

"warn."

"Attention all units, heavy unit deployment detected."

"【Fully Armored Hellcat】, 【Super Heavy Cheshire Rabbit】, 【Armored Shield Fenrir】, deploy immediately."

Upon hearing the announcement over the loudspeaker, the super-heavy bunny girl and the armored shield gray wolf, who were chatting, exchanged a glance and began walking in a certain direction.

Red Zircon noticed the exaggerated, fully armored shield on Fenrir's back, and naturally also saw the Browning heavy machine gun on Cheshire Rabbit's back.

"I say, is this level of heavily armored unit really something we can handle?"

Aquamarine continued chatting in the team channel.

"Who knows what Xin Yuehu is thinking? But we still have to find a way to escape. We can't give up until the very end!"

"That's right, the responsibility of evacuation falls to you, Amethyst! It would be even better if you could take down the bosses while you're at it!"

"Huh? Me?"

The sniper looked up blankly, gazed at a certain spot in the void, pointed to himself, and then pointed to the Cheshire Rabbit wrapped up like an armored can in the distance.

……

Meanwhile, somewhere in the mall.

Squirrel Wheat huddled behind the bank counter in the mall, cautiously peeking out the door.

—Intense gunfire and grenade explosions, stray bullets flew everywhere, whizzing past Mai Sui's helmet and nearly blowing her head off.

"Whoa!"

The squirrel, Maisui, hurriedly shrank back, too afraid to look any longer.

"What's going on outside? Are they fighting?"

The guinea pig Green Ivy beside her asked in a low voice.

Violet the fancy mouse dared not make any rash moves. Clutching her rifle, she huddled in a corner, trembling with fear, and was startled by the stray bullets that occasionally hit the counter and wall.

"I think so," Mai Sui nodded.

This is a bank vault inside the shopping mall.

Five minutes ago, the Magic Mouse Squad, led by Squirrel Wheat, sneaked into the vault and took all the gold inside, instantly becoming the only fat mouse in the entire place to have eaten from two vaults.

Just as they were about to sneak off to the evacuation point after eating, the Hyacinth Squad, who had set up guns at the bank entrance, gave Wheat and his three companions a big surprise.

However, the White Lily squad, which arrived at the scene after hearing the commotion, engaged in a fierce firefight with the Hyacinth squad.

Judging from the dialogue and deployment of both sides, it seems that they had just had a brief exchange elsewhere.

"We need to find a way to sneak out."

"But how do we escape? There's only one entrance and exit here. We can't just run through their line of fire."

"...Should we use smoke grenades for cover?" Groundhog Edelweiss suggested.

"Are you kidding me? Smoke grenades can only cover the entrance at most. What if we can't find cover when we go out?" Violet the Fancy Mouse then voiced her objection.

The four of them looked at each other, none of them able to come up with a good solution.

Just when everyone was at a loss, the fighting outside suddenly stopped.

This made the wheat ears even more terrified.

Two teams of hunters had their eyes on a plump mouse. They suddenly stopped without losing any members on either side. Were they discussing splitting the spoils?

The fear of being at the mercy of others lingered in Mai Sui's heart. She silently took the backpack full of two warehouses of gold from her teammates, preparing to hand it over with both hands when the opportunity arose.

But the sudden appearance of two searchlights deep inside the mall made the situation on the battlefield strange:

"Click".

"Thump, thump."

Heavy, solid footsteps.

The metallic clanging sound of a bullet being chambered.

And the simultaneous shouts of Hyacinth and Bai Lili.

"Damn it! Find cover!" "Watch out for your flank!"

"Clang clang clang clang!!"

The heavy machine guns opened fire.

12.7mm machine gun bullets roared through the mall, the flash illuminating a tall, pink figure resembling a fearless warrior, as well as the gray, fully armored shield in front of her.

"Hahahaha! Don't run! Hyacinth! Stop right there!"

"Why are you chasing me! Wouldn't it be better if you chased Bai Lili and the others?!"

"Hmm? Cat went after Bai Lili, the two of us will come after you!"

The Cheshire Rabbit's maniacal laughter and the roar of the heavy machine gun gradually faded into the distance, mixed with the hyacinth's mournful howls and strange cries.

Squirrel Wheat stared blankly at the now-silent bank entrance, swallowing hard.

Between Hyacinth and Lily, who is under more pressure?

Mai Sui fell into deep thought, but still managed to slip into the mall aisle, quickly disappearing into the darkness.
