My Ability Pool is Superior

Chapter 284: Being Picky



As netizens spread the word privately from person to person, the livestream room’s popularity continued to rise.

Besides, Lu Bai and the others had already left the campus, so there was even less need to shut down the livestream.

Upon receiving instructions from superiors to continue filming, Observer Chen had no choice but to keep holding the camera and film.

The bombing zone was too far to see clearly, and anyway, this thing wouldn’t have any retention rate or similar metrics required, so he simply aimed the lens at Lu Bai.

Lu Bai didn’t particularly mind having a camera filming him the whole time.

He got out of the vehicle and immediately asked about the issue he cared about more.

“When will the citywide evacuation begin?”

……

Three hours later.

At this moment, the entire city was lit up brightly.

Looking out, every road was packed with vehicles and pedestrians.

At every intersection, police cars or armored vehicles could be seen parked on the roadside.

Police officers and Action Department personnel holding instruction light sticks maintained order on the roadside.

It wasn’t quite three steps one post, five steps one sentry so dense, but official personnel could be easily found anytime to help.

Especially on the main roads out of the city, vehicles were backed up into a long dragon.

Lu Bai sat cross-legged on top of an armored vehicle, his ears filled with the noisy sounds from walkie-talkies and megaphones.

“Please show your driver’s license.”

“Don’t crowd! Evacuate in an orderly manner.”

“The cars in front, drive faster.”

“Citizens without vehicles, please come this way to line up for the vehicles, don’t panic, stay calm.”

Every armored vehicle was equipped with heavy firepower that brought a strong sense of security, not to prevent anyone from causing trouble.

After all, ever since anomalies descended, this kind of evacuation drill had become routine.

The “Anomaly Disaster Emergency Management Guide Manual” formulated jointly by the Action Department and other departments was practically one per civilian, so even this late-night mass evacuation wouldn’t cause any trouble.

These heavy firepower equipment were purely to guard against other anomalies appearing.

Mainly because conducting such high-density personnel gatherings at night was indeed very likely to attract anomalies.

But Lu Bai’s attention wasn’t on these evacuation efforts.

He kept scanning his surroundings, trying to spot death fighters mixed in the crowd.

At first, he was pondering what method would be fastest to find death fighters.

But he quickly realized that this citywide evacuation itself could maximally screen out the traces of death fighters.

It was a bit untimely, but he felt like he had to thank that abomination.

You know, every death fighter had a glaring title above their head.

Unless they endured staying hidden in the city, not transferring with the main troops.

Otherwise, during this collective transfer process, it was impossible to hide; death fighters hidden in the crowd could be spotted from far away.

Of course, quite a few death fighters would choose to continue lurking.

But more death fighters still chose to go with the flow and transfer.

After all, many death fighters didn’t believe Lu Bai would start a massacre in front of so many people, so exposing themselves didn’t make them too worried.

During this collective evacuation period, Lu Bai had already seen no fewer than dozens of death fighters.

And the fact was, he indeed hadn’t made a move on the spot, just letting points walk past him like that.

Of course, he wasn’t doing nothing.

On one hand, he silently memorized these death fighters’ identity information for later search.

On the other hand, he was selecting from these various gold level abilities.

[Wind Chaser (Gold): Consume a certain amount of stamina to perform a fierce sprint about ten times the normal speed; the farther the sprint distance, the greater the consumption on the user.]

[Alpha Strike (Gold): Consume a certain amount of stamina; the user will shuttle across the battlefield at speeds imperceptible to the naked eye, launching a cumulative four attacks; cannot be targeted during the duration, cooldown time is thirty seconds.]

[Rihyaku Hachishiki · Eight Wine Glasses (Gold): Accumulate cold flame in the palm and release it outward, damaging the target’s nerves and body surface through the power of the cold flame itself.]

[Portable Armory (Gold): Obtain an armory stored in another spacetime; spend a certain amount of stamina to use, each use will randomly retrieve one weapon from the armory.]

[Let’s Get Married (Gold): Use on the opposite sex; the target will marry the user on the spot, but this ability does not affect the autonomous consciousness of either spouse.]

……

Lu Bai read more than a dozen abilities.

Unfortunately, none with particularly powerful effects were found for now.

This couldn’t be helped; gold level abilities were only of this degree.

Fortunately, Lu Bai wasn’t too anxious; he tentatively kept the rule-based abilities that might have odd effects for now.

Abilities that obviously couldn’t affect anomalies were excluded by him on the spot.

After picking and choosing to adjust for a while.

The three abilities in the current temporary slot bar were adjusted to [Bursting Qi (Gold)], [Alpha Strike (Gold)], and [Let’s Get Married (Gold)].

Worth mentioning is.

The process of loading game doesn’t produce any special influence on death fighters.

If a bit careless, they might not even realize their ability had failed until they needed to use it.

But Lu Bai had already read the abilities of twenty or thirty death fighters one after another.

With such a quantity of samples, there would always be death fighters who noticed this.

Sure enough, in the crowd, a girl with a bow hairpin on her head clearly incredulously raised her hand and shook it twice, suddenly her complexion changed drastically.

The selected ability would be deprived.

This kind of thing, she’d never even heard of it.

Even if she wanted to find the culprit, she didn’t know who to look for.

Moreover, only the first-round ability, the only ability, failed; a death fighter was essentially no different from an ordinary person.

Next to the girl with the bow hairpin was an elegant man in a fitted suit; he seemed to notice his companion’s abnormality.

Taking advantage of the time lining up to board the vehicle, he turned sideways and asked in a low voice: “What’s wrong?”

The girl with the bow hairpin barely calmed down and squeezed out a smile: “Dandy, your, your ability is what again? I forgot.”

“Portable Armory, didn’t I tell you? When did your memory get this bad?”

The suit man called Dandy said as he reached his right hand into his pocket, planning to try his luck and see if he could randomly get a tank or something.

The imagined weapon didn’t appear, and his complexion sank.

Seeing this, the girl with the bow hairpin no longer hid her panic: “Don’t tell me you too?”

Dandy nodded almost imperceptibly, intentionally or unintentionally turning his head to look towards Lu Bai’s position.

“No way? ‘Pure Smile’ did it?”

Dandy took a deep breath, raising his chin towards a white-collar worker not far away: “Come on, there’s a ‘Swift Minion’ up front; let’s go ask him.”
