My Ability Pool is Superior

The rioters firing ahead were clearly just stalling for time and had no intention of fighting them to the death at all.

This action was precisely the situation the Guard Platoon leader least wanted to see.

After all, there were also large numbers of civilians rioting on both the left and right flanks, and returning the way they came was even more impossible.

If this Guard Platoon ceased fire, the Management Committee Office building would be completely taken over by the rebels not long after they withdrew.

The staff who had stayed inside unwilling to take risks were probably all killed by now.

Returning the way they came now would be tantamount to suicide.

The most troublesome part was that the rioters who had occupied the Management Committee Office seemed to want revenge and had no intention of letting them leave, chasing right after them.

With enemies in front and behind, the Guard Platoon leader had no choice but to order his men to throw a grenade over and see if they could take out the guys hiding behind cover.

The result was not ideal.

Less than five seconds after the explosion, gunshots rang out from ahead again.

The Guard Platoon attempting to charge through had to retreat again after leaving behind three corpses.

This platoon leader even wanted to ask why these buildings were built so solidly.

After this exchange, the civilians from behind had caught up and were now exchanging fire with the few Guard Platoon members covering the retreat.

Without cover, after intense firefighting for not long, the Guard Platoon had suffered over half casualties, and total annihilation was only a matter of time.

At that moment.

The Guard Platoon leader suddenly saw ripple-like vibrations appear in the air, followed by a roar like that of an angry lion king.

Boom!!!

A gravity wave that tore through everything swept along the path, and several buildings that had not been cut corners at all instantly shattered into pieces under this attack.

Literally flying sand and rolling stones, with building debris flung dozens of meters into the air, and even the thick smoke permeating the airspace over this area was swept clean.

Seeing this scene, the Guard Platoon leader was overjoyed instead of surprised.

He figured that, barring any accidents, this could only be someone from the City Association side, most likely Cheng Zhi Wu.

After all, setting aside those short-circuited guys from Can Society, Death Fighters who retained their abilities could basically find a good position in the City Association with less money, less hassle, and close to home.

Even if from the bottom civilians, once you retained your ability, you would directly leap across classes.

Just this point alone ensured that the Rebel Army, mainly composed of bottom civilians, could not have Death Fighters who retained abilities.

And the facts were indeed so.

This supernatural attack method was clearly Feng Yixuan’s [Lion’s Roar Skill].

At the end of the passage violently formed by the [Lion’s Roar Skill], Feng Yixuan let out a burp, casually tossed aside the chicken drumstick bone, and strode with her legs toward the Guard Platoon’s position: “Sorry to interrupt, could someone tell me where Li Shan is?”

She didn’t get the answer she wanted; instead, a staff member questioned her: “Why did you only come now? Where are the other Cheng Zhi Wu? Aren’t the First Detachment and Second Detachment at the Forward Base?”

This staff member had actually been frightened by the previous intense firefight and now, feeling safe, subconsciously wanted to vent.

Unfortunately, Feng Yixuan was not good-tempered at all. Seeing this staff member’s attitude, she charged to his face at a speed faster than a 100-meter sprinter and kicked him right in the head.

Seemingly not satisfied, she added a few more kicks.

“Fucking annoying, I ask and you answer, why ramble on? Li Shan too, Lu Bai too…”

……

Underground.

Shelter No. 9, City Hall Building.

Xiao Zhengyan skimmed through the report at a glance, muttering as if to himself: “Rejected?”

The councilor standing in front of him spoke up at the right moment: “The Return to Surface Plan is urgent in time, no time to pause work, this is a necessary sacrifice.”

“Necessary sacrifice?”

Xiao Zhengyan repeated these five words with a half-smile, but his tone remained calm: “From the intelligence coming back from the Forward Base currently, the riot can no longer be recovered.”

“Mm, I’ve seen the intelligence, but the return to surface work proceeds as usual, this is the City Association’s overall will.”

“How many civilians have returned to the surface now.”

The councilor with slightly protruding cheekbones tilted his head slightly to calculate, then gave the answer: “Around 30 million.”

Xiao Zhengyan casually flipped the page of the report in his hand: “The City Association’s overall will is to deal with all these civilians?”

“Armed with weapons, arson, attacking official personnel, anyone who can do these things is no longer ordinary civilians.”

Before the words finished, the door to the Speaker’s Office was pushed open, and several men dressed meticulously walked in one after another, all wearing badges on their chests representing City Councilor identity.

“What’s the situation now?”

Xiao Zhengyan didn’t even move his butt, still steadily sitting in the office chair.

The newly arrived councilors said in unison: “Sign it, Mr. Speaker.”

Xiao Zhengyan’s gaze was calm.

In fact, even to prepare for war with the Mona People and shift the battlefield to the surface, it would only require establishing the Forward Base and deploying the Armed Forces to the surface, without needing to migrate all civilians to the surface.

But the main reason for formulating the Return to Surface Plan was that after the Heavy Element Reactor was destroyed, the Underground City could no longer support so many people.

So these over 100 million civilians, in a certain sense, had been positioned as abandoned pieces from the initial planning.

The vast majority of City Association councilors didn’t care at all whether these civilians lived well on the surface or even survived.

These things weren’t important and weren’t within their considerations.

Migrating civilians was just to free up living space for the shelters.

Therefore, even if these civilians caused chaos on the surface, as long as it didn’t affect the shelters, it didn’t matter.

Of course, these rebelling civilians and the newly formed Rebel Army looked impressive.

But in substance, they hadn’t cost the City Association a single piece of flesh.

If the City Association really cared about the threat from these civilians, they would have long mobilized Cheng Zhi Wu First Detachment and Second Detachment to suppress them.

As the City Association’s direct armed personnel, the reason they stayed at the Forward Base watching the situation deteriorate was simply that the City Association hadn’t given the order.

Xiao Zhengyan placed the report on the desk and said in a matter-of-fact tone: “I refuse, and I also plan to have Cheng Zhi Wu participate in suppressing the rebellion.”

Bang~

Before these councilors could persuade further, the office door was pushed open again.

But this time, the one pushing the door was a secretary with an anxious expression.

“Mr. Speaker, bad news, that rioter with the blood pool ability has disappeared.”
