My Ability Pool is Superior

In contrast to the anxious expression of this secretary, Xiao Zhengyan seemed stunned instead.

He pondered for two seconds: “Who is that?”

The secretary hurriedly explained: “It’s the one that Deputy Captain Lu from Cheng Zhi Wu captured, the criminal whose ability is suspected to control the blood pool and who killed all the residents of an entire Yiju Building.”

Xiao Zhengyan felt like he had seen a report about this incident, but there were simply too many such troublemakers taking advantage of the chaos at the time, so he hadn’t paid it much attention.

“So what do you mean by disappeared?”

“He just suddenly disappeared in plain sight. I’ve already pulled up the surveillance footage. Take a look.”

While speaking, the secretary opened the tablet and brought up the surveillance footage in front of Xiao Zhengyan.

Seeing Speaker Xiao and his secretary completely ignoring them as if it were natural, the councilors present immediately felt somewhat dissatisfied but did not show it openly.

The councilor with prominent cheekbones seized the gap in their conversation and immediately interjected: “Speaker Xiao, just leave this matter to Cheng Zhi Wu to investigate. You shouldn’t waste your energy on such trivial matters.”

Xiao Zhengyan said righteously: “This is not a trivial matter. Safety issues are the most important issues.”

Now everyone knew that Speaker Xiao was deliberately playing dumb, just to delay the signing a bit.

But after all, there happened to be such a legitimate reason at hand, so these councilors couldn’t really say anything.

It was worth mentioning that Xiao Zhengyan had initially indeed planned to delay the signing time, but after watching the full surveillance footage, he actually became a bit worried about the whereabouts of this criminal.

The surveillance room in the City Hall Building had very tight defenses, without a doubt.

Yet the young man in the footage disappeared quite abruptly, vanishing from the surveillance room in the blink of an eye without leaving a single hair behind.

Even with various high technology means assisting, whether invisibility, shrinking, or high speed, it would be impossible to escape the surveillance of all equipment.

If it was some ability involving spatial movement, that would be very troublesome—it would be an unstable factor that could be brought up at the meeting no matter how one thought about it.

Xiao Zhengyan rhythmically tapped his fingers on the desk, then said.

“Connect me to Cheng Zhi Wu’s third detachment and fourth detachment.”

……

“Charge!”

“Kill them all.”

Gunshots rained down like a storm, explosions thundered like lightning.

This rebel army detachment that had just left the armory fully armed soon unleashed tremendous energy, sweeping through everything in their path unstoppable.

Of course, a large part of this was because most of the armed forces had not yet formed an organization, but even more so because everyone in this rebel army was fearless and their firepower was fierce enough to achieve this.

Commander Zhang, with clear eyes, looked toward the central area of the forward base, those brightly lit buildings, pointed with his hand: “The command post is over there. Everyone, follow me!”

Large numbers of rebels responded one after another, raising their guns and charging together.

After all, this rebel army numbered nearly ten thousand no matter how you looked at it, and aside from heavy firepower, their individual soldier firepower was not much different from the City Association’s armed forces.

It could be said that in the forward base that was already in complete chaos, they were absolutely a force to be reckoned with.

At first, some organized squads of soldiers fought back, but later everyone understood.

This rebel army had superior numbers and fierce firepower—what was the point of a dozen or so of them fighting desperately? Better to find a way to survive first and wait for orders from above.

Combat Command Center.

The senior officers and staff present watched the wartime surveillance footage without any signs of panic.

To be honest, even though the forward base had fallen into complete chaos and the City Association’s armed forces had suffered considerable casualties, up to now, these senior officers still did not regard these rebels and rioting civilians as any major threat.

“Looks like we can’t hold off anymore. They’re planning a direct beheading strike.”

Someone in the staff joked.

“Send a batch of drones to deal with this rebel army.”

No one in the combat command center stood up to oppose, and the order was immediately issued.

Suddenly, over ten thousand drones hovering over the residential area turned their noses at the same time and flew toward the position of this rebel army.

Although the riot had lasted nearly an hour, the thick smoke permeating the skies over the forward base had not yet dispersed.

This meant that the drones could not distinguish friend from foe using the optical instruments equipped on their bodies and could only seek out enemies using thermal sensing.

Admittedly, this method did not distinguish between friend and foe.

But thanks to this rebel army’s merciless killing of City Association personnel along the way, even if the drone swarm fired indiscriminately, it probably wouldn’t affect many friendly forces.

“These troublesome flies have finally come.”

Among the rebels, Brother Wang, who came from a technical background, showed a strange fanaticism in his eyes, then turned his head and shouted: “Little Dragon, bring over what I mentioned earlier.”

Soon, three young people carried a cylindrical device to Brother Wang’s side.

Brother Wang rubbed his hands and asked: “Is it fully charged?”

“Brother Wang, you can rest assured with my work. It’s all done exactly as you ordered.”

The higher the technological level, the more foolproof the operation.

Only immature technology requires cumbersome operations to avoid problems.

Brother Wang then squatted next to this device and began operating it hands-on.

During this time, the drone swarm had already arrived over this rebel army and quickly began diving and shooting.

The moment the gunshots rang out, Brother Wang steadily reached out and pressed the switch component on the device.

Buzz~

An invisible electromagnetic pulse rapidly diffused, instantly enveloping the drone swarm in the sky.

The rapidly changing magnetic field induced high voltage in the large number of drone devices, immediately causing circuit overloads in many drones, resulting not only in partial data loss but also considerable hardware damage.

These drones then fell like hailstones, clanging and crashing down—some intact ones managed to keep a complete fuselage, while others exploded on impact, leaving only wreckage.

Due to the sheer number of drones, there were even a few unlucky eggs who were hit and knocked unconscious on the spot.

The combat command center detected this electromagnetic pulse network immediately.

A young staff officer who had been relaxed stiffened.

“Strategic-level electromagnetic pulse jammer? How do these rebels have this?”

The electromagnetic pulse jammer was the so-called EMP. Considering the Mona people’s technological level, such equipment was probably useless against Mona people, so the shelter military had not transported large quantities of EMP rounds to the ground.

This staff officer had never imagined that the rabble in his eyes actually possessed such equipment.

“This is getting troublesome. Deploy the exoskeleton legion?”

“No need. Leave it to us.”
