My Ability Pool is Superior

“That’s right, there’s no meaning in arguing now.”

“Xiao Zhang is right, the top priority is to first rescue our oppressed compatriots.”

“I’m just a rough man, I have no opinion, you say, what do I need to do.”

Among the blindly conformist crowd, there were still quite a few smart people.

Even those who wanted to struggle for power and profit could distinguish priorities.

So after that young man with clear eyes stood out and called out, those smart people immediately spoke up in agreement, making the scene suddenly return to an appearance of unity.

Seeing that the situation was under his control, the young man with clear eyes breathed a sigh of relief.

However, he didn’t fully relax, and immediately continued: “I believe everyone knows that the defense power of the forward base is too strong for us. We can’t clash head-on with those heavy firepower. We should still play to our strengths, mix into the forward base, and try to spread the ideology of resistance…”

Zheng Yongliang, mixed in the crowd, had no mind to listen to the young man’s speech; he was silently observing the surroundings.

Unlike the vast majority of civilians who joined the rebel army just with a burst of hot blood, he knew very well that there was an invisible black hand manipulating behind this so-called rebel army.

After all, Zheng Yongliang had contact with White-Robed Monar Warrior and also knew what kind of person Big Flower Arm was.

Therefore, he reckoned that in this town, there was probably still a real behind-the-scenes black hand existing, just not coming out into the open.

But even knowing this, Zheng Yongliang didn’t dare to say it.

He was very self-aware, knowing that he was just an ordinary person with nothing to offer, without the courage to stand up and tell everyone the truth. He believed those behind-the-scenes black hands wouldn’t allow him to come out and destroy their arrangement either.

To preserve his life, he could only silently blend in and observe.

Clearly realizing the boundaries of his own life similarly made him extremely pained.

……

Li Shan lay motionless on top of the slope.

Thanks to the ghillie suit borrowed from the armed forces, he could blend into the surrounding environment as one.

As long as not too close, it was hard to discover that a person was lying here.

“They actually really managed to form a rebel army right under the forward base’s nose, and with so many people.”

Looking at the scene in the settlement below, Li Shan was somewhat astonished.

Although these rebel army members had rudimentary equipment, their weapons were basically snatched from soldiers of the armed forces, and the number of guns wasn’t many either.

But having organization and not having it were completely two different concepts.

Li Shan even suspected that if left unchecked, this so-called rebel army could gain the support of all civilians returning to the surface with the slogan of resisting oppression.

After all, as a beneficiary class of the shelter’s order, he knew very well how the City Association really viewed the bottom civilians.

Similarly, he also knew very well that ordinary civilians absolutely couldn’t make up for the power gap with the City Association just by numbers.

So he actually wasn’t worried now that the rebel army would overthrow the City Association; he was more unwilling to see too many civilians die in confrontations with overwhelming power disparity. Who knew how much blood would have to flow to end this riot.

If enough numbers could threaten the City Association, then the City Association couldn’t have stood until now in the underground city.

“I need to go back first and think of a way to dispel their idea of confronting the City Association.”

Li Shan thought this in his heart, slowly wriggling back.

“Hm? Baby, did you hear any strange movement?”

The conversation voice that suddenly reached Li Shan’s ears made him instinctively stop his actions.

It turned out that he had been too focused when previously observing the settlement and hadn’t noticed a man and a woman, two young people, coming up the slope to get intimate, and getting closer and closer to him.

“What movement? Could it be the snakes from the books?”

In the darkness, he couldn’t see the woman’s expression, but could hear a bit of panic in her voice.

“How could it be, where are there snakes now.”

The man patted her twice, pacifying the woman, but still diverted some attention to observing the surroundings.

By this day, the surface ecosystem had long collapsed; not to mention large animals, even insects couldn’t be seen.

But the man was very sure he hadn’t misheard earlier, so he figured there was probably some shameless guy hiding nearby wanting to watch them get intimate.

“If you’re worried, then shall we change places?”

“No need, this is more thrilling, little dog, I’m dying of anxiety.”

“Hey… hehey.”

The conversation soon stopped, replaced by intermittent licking and panting sounds.

Listening to the movements coming from beside his ear, Li Shan was dumbfounded.

Considering that this pair of wild lovebirds had a bit too good hearing, Li Shan didn’t dare to slip away rashly, afraid that the sound of his wriggling would attract their attention.

However, just at that moment.

Buzz~ buzz~ buzz~

The communication equipment in Li Shan’s pocket rang with vibration, startling him into hurriedly reaching to press the hang-up button.

Under normal circumstances, this bit of vibration sound was hard to attract others’ attention.

But Li Shan, in his panic, reached out and pressed hang-up.

The sound of the ghillie suit rubbing against the dry leaves on the ground was as obvious as a fat guy rolling on the ground once.

This pair of lone man and woman were already nervous while sneaking around for fun; any slight disturbance could be noticed. Hearing such a sound, how could they continue.

“Which idiot came from, so blind.”

Having their good thing interrupted, the man was extremely displeased. Plus, he could show off his masculinity in front of the woman, so he immediately cursed and walked toward Li Shan’s hidden position.

Realizing he couldn’t hide anymore, Li Shan had to stand up, raise his hands and yield: “I was wrong, Big Brother, I’ll leave right now, right now.”

Such a weak attitude gave the man even more courage, and he waved his big hand.

“Get lost far away, go to hell… Wait, what are you wearing?”

Halfway through speaking, the man showed suspicion: “Never mind, never mind, you go.”

Because it was too dark, Li Shan couldn’t see the man’s expression and didn’t think much, just turned and left directly.

Li Shan easily avoided the unprofessional sentries stationed on the slope all the way, spending a bit more time but not exposing himself again.

Unfortunately, when he went down the slope and prepared to hurry back to the forward base, he discovered that his motorcycle hidden in the bushes had vanished into thin air.

Before he could react to what happened, countless people holding torches rushed out and surrounded him.

Under the firelight, Li Shan’s complexion became extremely ugly; he knew he had been careless this time.

Soon, a man and a woman walked out from the crowd.

The man sized up Li Shan and burst into laughter: “I knew you had something wrong, kid.”
