Attack in Shopping Mall

Chapter 4: Attack in Shopping Mall

After my routine training in the morning, my mother suddenly approach me a smile.

"Oh, my little Feng is working hard to be strong everyday, do you want to spend some quality time with me to the shopping mall?" Qin Xue asked with a motherly smile.

'I have been exercising everyday without fail, maybe I can take a break and fulfill mother's request' Qin Feng thought. "Ok mom, no problem, let me take a shower first"

I took a quick shower and dressed up handsomely with some maids help. I then proceed to the living hall to meet mother.

"Qin Feng, we will be going to the nearest city, Tali, let's go" Mom said while carrying little shui. I know that our house is a big mansion with big courtyard and other facility in a private space away from cities. Thus this will be the first time I will be going out to a city, awesome.

Getting to a car that looks futurastic that is floating from the ground with a sleek design, we travelled at the speed of 300 km/h. The car move at a rapid speed yet we barely feel any vibration and motion sickness from it. The car is spacious and have enough room for some drinks and table to eat, as well as as a tv monitor. Together with us in the car is our trusty butler, Uncle Ro that had serve my father, since he was young. In addition we have along trained family guards guarding the surrounding. I relaxed in the comfy reclined sofa seat and enjoyed the rest of the ride.

It was not long until we reach the city, Tali. I look out the window and look at the amazing scene of the city. Highrise building everywhere, all the building are beautifully built, floating cars along the traffic, some mechas patrolling the walls and streets of the city. Everything was new and technologically advanced.

We then proceed to alight in front of the shopping mall with out butler and start the sightseeing at the mall. Meanwhile our guards are left outside the mall, guarding our vehicles as bringing in the few guards will be too conspicuous.

A few hours later

'No! I am regretting this, why did I agree to go shopping with mom?' I was force by mother to try on clothing until she is sastified. Then continue with choosing clothes for little shui and finally mother turn to try on and ask my opinion for every outfit. "I am done" I announced tiredly. My mother seem to understand and smile mischievously "why not we have a small lunch break" she declared.

The family then go to a restaurant eating seafood cuisine. The lunch went on to be relaxing and the food was very appetizing. The scrumptious meal brought a smile to our face and we had a nice family bonding chat.

After that, we continue with some furniture shopping which will be delivered to our home and we finally decided to go home.

It was at this moment the shopping mall lights turn off and chaos erupted among the people. Angry and scared screams were heard with the lights off, until the hearing of gun fired. Frantic screams of terror broke out as everyone want to get away from the danger.

I froze up and had no idea what to do. It was a attack and I was panicking on how to protect mom and little shui. luckily even though mom was afraid she stayed alert and lead the way to hiding, with our butler protecting us.

All became a blur until we were hiding in a store as we stayed very quiet. The sound in the whole shopping mall has also stopped and a creepy silent permeate the air. It is evident all the people went into hiding as the attackers blocked off all escape from the shopping mall.

"You are surrounded, surrender immediately! you are out numbered and we can end this peacefully" announced a voice filled with authority. It seems the military of the city responded quickly and try to resolve the attack.

"Give us the money and let us free, or we will shoot the civilians" the attacker fight back. "If we don't receive the money for every 30 minute we will shoot the people" he continued.

"Boss Feng I can hacked into the system of the surveillance cameras and observed the current situation. I will then project the images into your mind" Asta trying to help me in keeping us safe

The images was then projected into my mind and I can clearly monitor the situation.

The criminals were searching the shopping mall for the hiding civilians and capture them. The captured civilians was then rounded together. Meanwhile the negotiation continue for 30 minutes without avail. To further threaten the military, the criminal massacre the captured crowd and project the scene to the military outside.

I felt helpless and can only remain silent without doing anything as the attacker are clearly a strong group of criminal escaping and armed properly. I was feeling anxious and despair with the situation not getting any better.

The criminals was also getting desperate as they know they will surely be taken down as time passes for expert reinforment to arrive. As the last attempt, they plant bomb around the building, trying to create a explosion and divert the military focus as they escape with the loot they collect from the people inside the mall.

The criminals exploded the bomb and as I felt that we were going to die, time stop.

"Ancient time art: Time freeze" a powerful voice resounded
