My Ability Pool is Superior

Administrative Building, first floor hall.

Liu Yue carried Xiao Xueyin on her back as she squeezed out from the emergency exit door.

She looked at the scene in the hall, somewhat puzzled: “Where are the people? Why are they all gone?”

In fact, when Zhou Zongming led the team upstairs, he had left a small squad of soldiers to guard the first floor hall.

However, now, this squad of soldiers had all become corpses.

Carrying Zhou Zongming was no pressure for the duo, and Yaluo in front could even free up one hand to scratch his bat tattoo on his neck a few times.

“We… the Survey Corps didn’t assign anyone to clean up the lower-level soldiers, I’m very certain of that.”

It was worth mentioning that the “Green Giant” was still entangled in combat with Er Bao, who could rubberize, and even passing by the second floor corridor, one could hear the Green Giant’s furious roar.

To be safe, Lu Bai was covering retreat, so he was the last one to walk out from the emergency exit door.

He looked around left and right, then said: “Duan Jianhui’s doing?”

Though it was a question, his tone sounded quite certain.

After all, the first floor hall had no obstructions, making it completely open to view.

But the ten or so corpses in the hall were lying in different positions, clearly killed one after another at a glance.

This killing method, in Lu Bai’s impression, among the still-living death fighters, only Duan Jianhui could achieve it.

“I haven’t seen this Duan Jianhui you’re talking about, but if he can turn invisible, why bother killing these people?”

Liu Yue wandered around the hall carrying Xiao Xueyin, suddenly exclaiming in surprise: “Whoa! Come look, there’s C4 here.”

Hearing this, Lu Bai immediately said: “You guys go out first.”

After seeing the others leave the administrative building, Lu Bai quickly searched around.

Sure enough, there was more than one bomb in the entire first floor hall.

Especially the main load-bearing walls and columns of this administrative building, without exception, had all been planted with plastic explosives, except for the side near the elevator shaft.

Lu Bai’s eyelid twitched: “No wonder he took out the squad guarding the hall.” This was to prevent the installed bombs from being discovered.

He imagined that guy finishing his tough talk, immediately going to the ammunition depot to steal explosives, then rushing over here in a hurry to plant them.

Wasn’t that a bit too abstract?

Glancing at the countdown on the C4 explosives, he suddenly realized a possibility.

Was it possible that Duan Jianhui was right by his side at this moment?

In reality, from the time Lu Bai got the USB drive from Duan Jianhui to his rampage all the way down, though he had eliminated quite a few death fighters, strictly speaking, it hadn’t taken much time.

Such a short time, with Duan Jianhui’s normal human physical fitness, shouldn’t have been enough to do all this.

So when Lu Bai and the others came downstairs, they might have bumped right into Duan Jianhui’s actions, forcing him to stop.

This could also explain why one area was left without a bomb.

“You’re here after all.”

Lu Bai looked up and sighed, shouting in a somewhat emotional tone: “Alright, come out.”

The entire first floor hall was deathly silent.

Apart from the occasional sounds of fighting from the upper floors, no other movements reached Lu Bai’s ears.

He stood in the center of the hall, silently waiting for about a minute.

Not there?

“Guessed wrong?”

Lu Bai didn’t feel embarrassed or anything, turning to leave from the gate.

Moments later, he suddenly turned back, rescanning the hall, but still no changes.

Really not there?

Lu Bai rubbed his chin, helplessly leaving first.

He silently waited another few minutes.

Confirming that Lu Bai had really left, Duan Jianhui finally set down the pile of plastic explosives he was holding in his bosom and let out a long breath.

When Lu Bai turned back, Duan Jianhui broke out in a cold sweat on the spot.

That was close.

Good thing he habitually waited a bit longer and didn’t put down the plastic explosives, or else if Lu Bai noticed the sudden pile of explosives on the ground, he would definitely give himself away.

In the end, it was because his physical fitness was only in the scope of an ordinary person.

If blocked at the door by Lu Bai, sneaking out again would be quite difficult.

Who knew how these guys managed to come down so fast? Listening to the commotion, the fighting upstairs was still intense.

Duan Jianhui glanced at the countdown set on the plastic explosives—still over three minutes left—and couldn’t help but feel a bit emotional.

“No one can discover me.”

Not dejected for long, Duan Jianhui quickly regained his confidence, psyching himself up: “Just a bit of hardship.”

……

On the ruins of the research center, an armored vehicle sped by, kicking up waves of dust.

“What exactly happened in the building? How did the company commander end up like this?”

The adjutant floored the accelerator while constantly observing the rear seats through the rearview mirror, his expression very anxious.

“I told you, he was beaten like this by a monster,” Liu Yue rolled her eyes.

In fact, after she carried Zhou Zongming out of the administrative building, this adjutant had been anxiously repeating the same question with this expression.

“You’re serious? You want me to believe in that green-skinned rock man?”

The adjutant was overly worried out of care, harboring no malice toward Liu Yue—after all, Zhou Zongming was someone they had rescued too.

Lu Bai looked at the rapidly receding scenery outside the window and casually corrected.

“Green Giant, not rock man, but…”

Pausing for two seconds, he turned to ask: “Are you sure we can find medical personnel this way?”

Though worried about Zhou Zongming’s condition, the adjutant answered every question.

“Should be no problem. The medical personnel rescued from the urban area are all settled in the area near the barracks. With such a big commotion, those doctors definitely won’t run around.”

The adjutant’s words were confident and reassuring.

Boom!!!

Just as the adjutant’s words fell, a tsunami-like explosion roared suddenly.

It clearly came from the direction they had left.

Everyone turned back to look and could see a massive mushroom cloud rising at the administrative building’s position.

The explosion’s shockwave even cracked the armored vehicle’s rearview mirror slightly.

The gravel and debris that followed swept in, clanging densely against the vehicle like a rainstorm.

“Holy shit! How the hell is there still an explosion?” the adjutant blurted out in panic.

Lu Bai said: “This is probably the last one.”

……

Passing a yellow tape, the armored vehicle had to slow down.

Because crowds were gathered at the edge, all curiously peering inside.

In fact, with the administrative building and research center exploding one after another, the exaggerated noise could be heard throughout the military base, and many had witnessed the explosions firsthand.

If soldiers hadn’t quickly set up yellow tape on the periphery, plenty of bold civilians would probably have run over for a close look.

Even so, it still caused a scene of overcrowding outside the yellow tape.

The adjutant understood these onlookers’ mindset but wasn’t any less urgent.

To disperse the crowd, he frantically honked the loudspeaker, but with little effect, instead making the scene even noisier.

Bang! Clack~ Bang! Bang!

After a few gunshots, the noisy scene instantly quieted.

It turned out Lu Bai had pulled out a certain Desert Eagle pistol, stuck it out the window, and fired several shots into the air.

Hearing the gunshots, the adjutant whipped his head back.

Lu Bai gave him a friendly smile: “Needs must in an emergency. Now you can get them to clear a path.”

The adjutant’s expression froze, swallowing the words he wanted to say.

Flooring the accelerator, he drove the armored vehicle quickly through the crowd.

The armored vehicle stopped in front of a row of color steel tile enclosure.

Third District Settlement, arrived.

Opening the car door, Lu Bai glanced at the passage entrance.

Fully armed soldiers lined both sides, with a shiny heavy machine gun mounted on the sandbag-stacked cover.

Even in such a troop-strapped situation, a squad of soldiers was still assigned to ensure the safety of this area.

Just from this, one could see the importance of this area.

Because in the Third District Settlement, not only medical personnel lived, but also administrative and research personnel, all housed here.

A random old man seen carrying a bucket for water might be some professor or bureau chief.

“Follow me.”

The adjutant greeted a soldier, then hurriedly led the group through the passage entrance.

Even with the zombie outbreak, people were not all equal.

This was evident from the rows of army-green tents in view.

Unlike the crowding in other settlement areas, the Third District Settlement mostly had two people per tent, or at worst four.

Even in this wartime state, the overall condition of this area remained orderly.

“Lieutenant Liu? Are you here to evacuate us?” A middle-aged woman wearing glasses noticed Lu Bai’s group, her expression slightly tense.

This was when Lu Bai learned the adjutant’s surname was Liu.

“No, it’s not. The situation outside is under control.”

Lieutenant Liu anxiously asked: “Sister Sha, do you know where Doctor Yang and the others are?”

Sister Sha noticed two wounded in the group and didn’t waste words: “They should all be at Professor Jiang’s. You know where that is, right?”

“Thanks, Sister Sha. Follow me.”

Lieutenant Liu’s latter half was clearly directed at Lu Bai and the others.

The leading Lieutenant Liu was very rushed; he wished he could get Zhou Zongming to the emergency room immediately.

The group hurriedly followed Lieutenant Liu in a mad dash—good thing they were all death fighters, or with the wounded, they might not have kept up.

The tents in the Third District Settlement were neatly arranged, with prominent number markers, so finding a target was quick.

It was worth mentioning that for the Professor Jiang Sister Sha mentioned, Lu Bai had an impression; in the laboratory, he had heard A Gu mention him once.

Lu Bai, following at the rear, subconsciously gripped the “node” in his pocket.

If he remembered correctly, the contents of this USB drive seemed to be this Professor Jiang’s experimental log.

Truly an unexpected boon.

Handing the experimental log data to Professor Jiang should count as completing the objective of rebuilding order, right?

After all, the deathmatch system was mainly for death fighters to compete, not for them to come farm.
