My Ability Pool is Superior

“I agree.”

Minister Zhang waved his hand: “Master Lu, you are the expert in dealing with anomalies. All personnel from the Action Department at the Containment Center can be commanded by you.”

Lu Bai’s face still showed his harmless and kind smile: “No need to go to such lengths. I just want to go around the Tent Area first and confirm.”

“Then let’s do that.”

Minister Zhang pointed at Captain Mao: “Senior Colonel Mao Siyu, continue to accompany Master Lu and make sure to do a good job with security.”

“Yes!”

Captain Mao immediately stood out and saluted.

Lu Bai’s current status was indeed not something just anyone could touch.

If he were willing, probably even going out would require arranging a team of professionals to clear the way first.

After parting ways with the high-level officials from the Action Department, Lu Bai, as before, led Captain Mao and quietly entered the Tent Area.

This time, he didn’t even bring Observer Chen.

……

Ever since the anomaly descent, for ordinary civilians, their previously peaceful lives were destined never to return.

Temporary evacuations and withdrawals were routine at the national level.

Fortunately, humanity was ultimately a creature with extremely strong adaptability.

Even if the civilians hadn’t experienced it, they had long prepared mentally for encountering such things.

Last night, whether it was the uninterrupted bombing of the abomination’s position or the Plague Doctor that appeared during the subsequent evacuation, none of these anomalies caused mass psychological breakdowns among the civilians.

By the evening of the second day, the civilians arriving one after another at the Containment Center had all settled safely into the Tent Area under the orderly guidance of the staff.

The resilient nerves tempered by two years of anomaly descent allowed people to force themselves to persist through such disturbances.

Zhou Lei finished washing up at the designated spot and turned to fetch water from the water supply point.

The broadcasts throughout the Tent Area were still playing tirelessly, making it quite lively.

“Sigh, I don’t know if the ‘Guardian God’ has woken up yet.”

“Yeah, he must be okay.”

“Sigh, don’t mind me speaking harshly, but I feel the hope of the ‘Guardian God’ waking up is slim.”

“Think about it, if that powerful force required no cost, why would the Guardian God choose strategic transfer first when facing the abomination?”

At the water supply point, several citizens carried buckets of water and returned together to their tents, their faces all showing worried expressions.

This was not an isolated case.

In fact, at this Containment Center, the vast majority of civilians were silently worrying about Lu Bai’s situation.

On one hand, Lu Bai had overexerted himself protecting them and fainted, so anyone with a conscience would feel grateful.

On the other hand, it was out of concern for their own safety.

Admittedly, ninety-nine percent of anomalies would not appear in places where crowds gathered.

But those rare few anomalies attracted by dense crowds were without exception not easy to deal with.

If Lu Bai could wake up, with the Guardian God in charge, the civilians could at least feel some sense of security.

Now that Lu Bai was unconscious, what if another anomaly appeared at the Containment Center?

At that moment, the broadcast that had been playing messages to keep everyone calm and maintain order suddenly stopped, replaced by a voice filled with excitement.

“Hello, everyone. This is Keshan Containment Center broadcast station. We have received the latest news. After the medical expert team… Repeat…”

This emergency broadcast wasn’t long, and it had only one main point.

That was to inform all civilians that the Guardian God had awakened in good health.

As the broadcast played, Zhou Lei, who was heading to the water supply point, immediately heard earth-shattering cheers from all over the Containment Center.

The civilians in sight, many began to shout excitedly, and at the very least, showed expressions of relief.

The civilians were generally very excited, which wasn’t surprising.

Recalling Lu Bai’s performance when facing the Plague Doctor, it not only shocked the Death Fighters but also gave all civilians hope of completely eliminating anomalies.

After all, the Plague Doctor was a Sequence 06 anomaly.

If an anomaly of this level could be handled, then anomalies of even lower sequences would probably be no problem, right?

“He woke up this fast?!”

As a Death Fighter, Zhou Lei was preoccupied but had to put on a smile to avoid standing out too much.

With the situation changing, he didn’t care about fetching water anymore and immediately turned back.

Returning to his assigned tent, he immediately heard the several university students in the tent discussing animatedly.

This inexplicably irritated Zhou Lei.

He shook his head and turned his gaze to the young man with overly long bangs whose bed was next to his.

The other smiled and waved at him.

Zhou Lei hurriedly walked over and, before getting close, lowered his voice and quickly said: “You can still sit still? Didn’t you hear that he has already woken up?”

“Then what do you say we should do?”

Feng Qian blew upwards, barely lifting the bangs in front of his eyes for a moment.

Last night, the Death Fighters who acted against Lu Bai weren’t just the dozen or so who were caught.

There were many more who, like them, hid in the chaos.

“There’s no way to hide in this Tent Area. If I walk around outside, I can tell which tents have Death Fighters.”

Zhou Lei was a bit anxious: “If you were that Smiling Face, would you let so many points within easy reach go?”

Feng Qian hid his eyes behind his long bangs, making it impossible to see his gaze.

“Of course not.”

“Exactly, with his current…”

Zhou Lei subtly glanced at the several university students on the other side of the tent who were discussing heatedly, and continued: “…prestige in the eyes of these natives, he can easily find a reason to ferret us out and kill us, with no risk at all.”

“Yeah, so I’ve decided to join up with him.”

Feng Qian spread his hands, frankly stating his attitude: “We can’t even use our abilities now, we’re no different from these natives. Even if you want to resist, what can you do?”

“Surrender to the Smiling Face?”

“What else?”

Zhou Lei was stunned for a second, then suddenly sat down a bit awkwardly.

“Do you think the Smiling Face will agree?”

……

“You two…”

Lu Bai looked at Zhou Lei and Feng Qian who had rushed excitedly to surrender before him, his tone inevitably a bit strange: “You also want to come for apprenticeship?”

He emphasized the words “apprenticeship.”

Zhou Lei boldly sneaked a peek behind Lu Bai.

He clearly noticed the colorful artistic fonts piled up layer upon layer.

Yes, behind Lu Bai were a dozen or so Death Fighters.

Those Death Fighters, each looking at Zhou Lei and Feng Qian with eyes full of suppressed laughter, like looking at kindred.
