Gunshots

After the meeting, the group wasted no time. Leaving a contingent behind to guard the gathering point, the rest followed Elijah to the mall's storage base.

Accompanied by Quentin and his team from several smaller gathering points, they drove in a large convoy along a national highway heading west from the western suburbs.

The mall storage base was neither too close nor too far from Neoville City.

It was chosen because it was near the international metropolis of Neoville City, which allowed for efficient distribution of massive online shopping orders.

Additionally, the base had excellent transportation links; aside from the road leading to Neoville City, there was a highway right next to it.

This highway connected rapidly to three surrounding cities.
