My Ability Pool is Superior

“Ah?”

Lu Bai tore a slit in the trouser leg at his thigh from the middle.

Looking at the wound that should have been a mess of flesh and blood, now surprisingly restored as good as new, a hint of clear bewilderment inevitably flashed in his gaze.

Originally, when he couldn’t feel the pain, he thought he had gone numb from the pain.

But when he examined it closely, he discovered that there wasn’t even a tooth mark on his thigh.

Only the gradually drying bloodstains on his pants remained, reminding him that he had been bitten before and it wasn’t an illusion.

Seeing this, he uncertainly raised his hand and touched his neck.

Sure enough, the wound on his neck had also self-healed just like the one on his thigh.

“Super Regeneration?”

Of course, he hadn’t forgotten that he had selected [Super Regeneration (Gold)] from the Ability Pool, but he truly hadn’t held too many expectations for this thing.

After all, it was his first contact with such supernatural power, and without verification, it was hard to comfortably include it in his considerations.

He pursed his lips, propped himself up with the Eight-Sided Han Sword, and stood up.

Turning to look toward the Sports Field, his gaze seemed able to pierce through the Old Banyan Tree to see the specific situation on the Sports Field: “This really is an unexpected delight.”

……

The school’s main gate was on the other side of the Sports Field.

After leaving from that corner by the Old Banyan Tree, Lu Bai didn’t choose to forcibly cross the Sports Field; instead, he returned to the Teaching Building the way he came.

After all, the zombie outbreak happened right at noon dismissal, and the foot traffic in the Sports Field area was enormous.

Even though Lu Bai knew he had an ability like Super Regeneration, facing the zombies wandering all over the Sports Field, he was still overwhelmed.

Compared to forcing his way through the zombie horde, finding an opportunity to climb the wall from behind the Teaching Building to leave the school was clearly more reliable.

Teaching Building, first floor Restroom.

Splash~

Lu Bai stared blankly at the mirror above the sink, somewhat dazed.

The face in the mirror was extremely handsome, with sword-like eyebrows and starry eyes.

Perhaps due to having been a Taoist Priest for a lifetime in his previous life, it also carried a bit of an otherworldly temperament.

After a simple cleanup, it looked even more refreshed.

Creak~

Twisting the faucet shut again, he let out a long breath.

“Young people are still young after all… Uh…”

He had only spoken halfway when intense pain suddenly surged from his head toward his limbs.

Indescribable severe pain came in wave after wave like tides, with his entire body and even every cell seeming to emit an irrepressible wail.

Thud!

His whole body uncontrollably collapsed to the ground, his limbs gradually beginning to twitch unconsciously.

At this moment, Lu Bai’s consciousness was still clear; he was desperately trying to suppress the degree of his body’s twitching.

Bang~ Bang~

He felt his heartbeat become extremely pronounced, while his vision grew increasingly blurry.

From his previous observation of that Delinquent Youth, Lu Bai quickly realized what was happening to his body.

But this realization left him with strength but nowhere to exert it.

Zombie Virus!

Because the bite wound had self-healed, Lu Bai had subconsciously overlooked this point.

The infectivity of zombies was its most terrifying aspect.

Veins bulged on Lu Bai’s forehead, and his expression became ferocious along with it.

He didn’t plan to give up.

There was still hope.

If he remembered correctly, the description of [Super Regeneration] was a cell-level self-healing ability.

So theoretically, this ability should also be effective against the Zombie Virus.

As long as he didn’t lose consciousness and fully zombify before that, he shouldn’t be eliminated.

He just didn’t know how long this process would last.

Recalling the speed at which the wound had healed earlier, Lu Bai truly had no confidence and could only grit his teeth and endure.

One minute, two minutes…

No room for thinking, his mind a blank.

Under the seemingly endless pain, by the end, Lu Bai didn’t even know how much time had specifically passed, completely losing his sense of time.

His mind was muddled, and he seemed only a fine line away from completely losing consciousness.

Fortunately, just as Lu Bai couldn’t help but want to give up, the pain throughout his body suddenly vanished without a trace.

His breathing slowly became uniform.

Whether due to being tormented by the pain for too long or some other reason, Lu Bai felt his current state was exceptionally good.

It seemed his strength was even greater than before?

And not just the sense of power filling his body.

He could even clearly hear the deliberately suppressed breathing from the stall in the corner of the Restroom.

Hmm…

Hmm?

There was actually a living person hiding in the Restroom?

“Student? Want to come out and chat?”

As Lu Bai spoke, he climbed up from the ground, staring at the tightly locked door of the corner stall, and smiled indifferently.

If they don’t come out, then don’t.

After all, whether to remain human or become a zombie was their own choice; outsiders had no right to interfere.

No longer paying attention to that introverted survivor.

He tore a long strip from his school uniform jacket, wrapped it around the lower end of the Eight-Sided Han Sword’s guard, slung the sword on his back, and tied the two ends of the strip in a knot in front of him.

After finishing the preparatory work, Lu Bai’s seemingly confident movement suddenly stiffened.

To be honest, he really didn’t know what he should do now.

He could now basically confirm this was a “game”; even if he was really torn apart by zombies, it would at most be elimination, probably not actual death.

But the problem was, when does this game end? And what are the conditions for victory?

Regarding these questions, he wouldn’t say he knew nothing, but he was close.

He glanced at the data panel in front of his retina.

[Current Points: 1]

[Current Rank: 31/384]

Following normal game logic…

“Anyway, try to survive as long as possible for now?” Lu Bai mused thoughtfully.

As he muttered to himself, he suddenly noticed staggering footsteps appearing in the corridor outside the Restroom, seemingly attracted by his earlier speaking voice.

Lu Bai slowed his breathing.

His hearing was now exceptionally sharp, easily distinguishing that the footsteps came from two zombies.

One left, one right, about ten meters from the Restroom entrance.

And the footsteps were gradually approaching.

Lu Bai slightly crouched, rubbing his toes slowly on the ground.

Although he was temporarily unsure exactly to what degree the Zombie Virus had enhanced his body,

However…

Lu Bai suddenly stomped down, using this powerful reaction force to burst out of the Restroom entrance like a tiger released from its cage.

In this process, his right hand had already lifted to grip the sword hilt behind him.

Swing out the sharp edge!

Thud~ Thud~

With a flash of sword light, two zombie skulls with grayish-white eye sockets fell to the ground accordingly.

The blood spurting from the necks of the two zombies splashed onto the corridor walls, forming radial bloody patterns.

One of the skulls rolled twice on the ground, still wearing a bewildered expression on its face.

“…Can’t let you attract more zombies.”

Lu Bai glanced at the two corpses, flicking the blood off the sword: “But damn, they look pretty sick.”

He could sense that he didn’t have the slightest bit of nervous emotion in his heart; instead, he couldn’t help but want to laugh.

When making decisions, he was so decisive it even scared him.

……

Speaking of which, the Restrooms in the Teaching Building, no matter which floor, were always on the far right.

Plus, there were stairs on both sides of the Teaching Building, so going upstairs didn’t require risking the corridor full of zombies.

Lu Bai certainly wouldn’t deliberately make things harder for himself.

He poked his head out from the corner to survey; now there were no living people visible in the corridor, only zombies wandering about.

Bloodstains gradually drying in various places along the corridor, especially those few bloody handprints stuck to the white walls, were particularly conspicuous.

Without alarming the zombies in the corridor and classrooms, Lu Bai quickly darted out and up the stairs.

The stairwell could at most accommodate four people walking side by side.

In such a narrow area, if blocked, he probably couldn’t escape without being bitten a few times.

For safety’s sake, Lu Bai slowed his steps and ascended the stairs slowly.

Rounding the corner of the stairwell, a silhouette appeared before Lu Bai.

It was a female student; as her body swayed left and right, the terrifying tooth marks on her calf simultaneously oozed flesh and blood.

Lu Bai inwardly apologized, raised his hand, and planned to rush up the remaining ten or so steps to resolve her at the fastest speed.

However, these zombies had extremely keen hearing, and the hurried footsteps alerted this female student.

She abruptly turned around, her face with protruding veins revealing a beast-like ferocity.

Oh no!

Lu Bai’s heart skipped a beat.

Sure enough, the female student didn’t disappoint him; she directly let out a shrill roar and pounced at him with claws outstretched.

Lu Bai naturally wasn’t worried that this zombie would harm him.

What was truly worrisome was how many zombies this “girl” roaring so loudly would attract?

This Teaching Building had a total of eight floors, with seven classrooms per floor.

Even if most students had gone to the Canteen when the zombie outbreak happened.

But gathering a few hundred zombies in the entire Teaching Building would be effortless.

In any case,

He couldn’t be blocked on the stairs!

Lu Bai reacted quickly.

He bent down and swung his sword upward.

While dodging the female zombie’s pounce, he precisely sliced into the center of her head.

The sharpness of the Eight-Sided Han Sword was indeed impressive.

He felt his wrist barely exert any force before the zombie’s entire body was split in two.

But now clearly wasn’t the time to praise a sword.

The commotion of numerous zombies rioting had already reached his ears.

Holding the bloodstained Long Sword, he took the remaining steps two at a time,

Turning to look at the second floor corridor, dozens of frenzied zombies were squeezing toward him.

Bang! Bang! Bang!

Zombie after zombie broke open windows from classrooms; even with twisted ankles from the fall, they still roared and charged at him.

The chaotic footsteps from downstairs meant returning the way he came was also no longer an option.

Facing this small “zombie tide” that had formed almost instantly, Lu Bai had no intention of fighting through it.

Before the encirclement formed, he decisively turned and continued running upstairs.

Near the third floor, he saw three zombies already at the stairwell entrance.

To avoid being blocked in such a narrow area as the stairwell, Lu Bai unhesitatingly threw the Eight-Sided Han Sword, then followed right behind like an arrow off the string.

The middle zombie was instantly pierced with a hole in its brain.

Benefiting from the Zombie Virus’s enhancement to his physical fitness, Lu Bai’s short-distance burst speed wasn’t much slower than the Long Sword; he swiftly extended both hands, pressing simultaneously on the foreheads of the left and right zombies.

Then he suddenly exerted force, smashing the heads of the two zombies heavily onto the steps.

Without checking if the two zombies were dead or alive, he picked up the Eight-Sided Han Sword and rushed into the third floor.

Despairingly, the third floor wasn’t much better than the second.

In the corridor, zombies scrambled toward Lu Bai, as if afraid of missing a bite of fresh meat.

He couldn’t stop here.

Just as Lu Bai planned to turn and continue fleeing upstairs…

Click~

Merely three meters away, a security door labeled “Office” was pushed open half a body width.

A pretty girl anxiously looked at him without making a sound, just quickly waving her hand.
