Chapter 454: Becoming A God
Lu Bai’s voice not only echoed in the minds of these rebel army members, but the team members of Cheng Zhi Wu’s First Detachment also heard the same voice.
“What face should I give you?”
“I see you’re also a running dog of the City Association.”
“What makes you think we should listen to you?”
The rebel army below had a very unfriendly attitude.
After all, Lu Bai could stand in the air, clearly also a death fighter who retained his ability, so these rebel army members couldn’t possibly think Lu Bai was on their side.
Cheng Zhi Wu, hiding behind the building cover, recognized Lu Bai’s identity, but didn’t suspect that their ability failure was related to Lu Bai, just finding it strange why this Tenth Detachment’s Deputy Captain Lu would appear here.
“What makes you listen to me?”
Lu Bai smiled casually and added: “Because I’m strong enough, strong enough that all of you tied together couldn’t oppose me. Is that reason enough?”
Hearing this, Commander Zhang raised the gun in his hand high: “What big talk. If you have the guts, kill us all. Don’t think we’ll bow our heads again.”
“Right!”
“That’s right.”
“Commander Zhang said it well!”
The rebel army members present all spoke up in agreement, the scene filled with a bold atmosphere.
Seeing this, the middle-aged man with yellow hair hiding behind the building cover asked in the detachment’s exclusive communication channel: “Can any of you contact Deputy Captain Lu and have him stall for a bit longer? Second Detachment and the exoskeleton troops are already heading this way.”
The detachment’s exclusive communication channel was quiet for a moment before the woman with a mole’s voice came through: “Not sure. I heard this Deputy Captain Lu doesn’t like socializing; not many people in Cheng Zhi Wu even have his contact info. But Captain, you don’t need to worry. He’s at least a deputy captain; he should know what to do…”
At this moment, the woman with a mole still on the second floor hadn’t finished speaking when Lu Bai’s next words disrupted her emotions.
“Aren’t you curious why those Cheng Zhi Wu can’t use their abilities?”
Lu Bai’s meaningful rhetorical question was directed at the rebel army, yet it made these Cheng Zhi Wu hiding behind the building cover, including the middle-aged man with yellow hair, all widen their eyes.
Although extremely hard to believe, the subtext of this sentence was indeed quite obvious.
Even the rebel army members who had been shouting defiantly about dying before yielding fell into a deathly silence.
Wait, bro, whose side are you on exactly?
This doubt simultaneously appeared in the minds of both Cheng Zhi Wu and the rebel army.
“So stop fighting. Don’t let more pointless casualties occur.”
Commander Zhang’s thoughts were now very chaotic.
He felt that Lu Bai’s actions seemed to genuinely be for the good of ordinary people like them.
The rebel army members present all turned their gazes to him, clearly waiting for his response.
Commander Zhang took a deep breath and finally shook his head: “You’re different from the City Association’s running dogs. Maybe you really are thinking of us, but allow me to refuse.”
He looked around, his gaze sweeping over charred corpses: “The blood of so many brothers can’t flow in vain, nor can so many people die for nothing! Even if I die, I must…”
His tone grew more impassioned, paired with his expression, full of incitement.
This was definitely a talent.
Putting oneself in his shoes, if Lu Bai were just an ordinary bottom-level civilian, after hearing his rallying cry, he’d probably want to bring his own rations and follow him.
No wonder, despite not being the sharpest, he could rally a rebel army.
Unfortunately.
Lu Bai didn’t give him a chance to continue stirring emotions. He pressed his hands together and formed a strange hand seal.
Noticing this action, the middle-aged man with yellow hair’s eyes turned green.
He recognized it as one of his abilities and said in disbelief: “No way? Isn’t the side effect of this ability…”
Whoosh~ Whoosh~ Whoosh~
Countless glow-green streamers shot out from behind Lu Bai.
One after another glow-green streamer seemed to have their own consciousness, actively burrowing into corpse after corpse on the ground.
Countless glow-green streamers weren’t limited to just this area in front of them; more streamers shot toward the distance, with the activity scope covering the entire forward base and surrounding areas.
“What is this?” Commander Zhang blurted out instinctively.
Probably because glow-green always represents warmth, life, and growth, giving no sense of aggressiveness, the rebel army members present witnessed this stunning scene without any panic.
And the facts were exactly as such.
A streamer entered the corpse of a rebel army member whose heart had been pierced by a bullet, and immediately the blood hole in the corpse’s chest rapidly grew flesh buds until it healed.
Under the gazes of countless people filled with uncertainty, that corpse which had gone completely cold gradually regained warmth, twitched twice, and sat up directly from the ground.
This resurrected rebel army member scratched his head, in a dazed state like he’d just woken up: “I… wasn’t I hit by a bullet?”
As he spoke, he unconsciously rubbed his chest.
Such situations were not isolated.
Upon careful observation, every corpse, whether rebel army or City Association before death, regardless of identity, had a glow-green streamer enter it.
Even charred lumps nearly melted beyond human shape by lava were rapidly restoring.
More and more resurrected people climbed up from the ground, making the entire scene increasingly noisy.
Those who had witnessed the whole process were petrified, forgetting to even blink.
Incidentally, when Lu Bai appeared and asked both sides to give him face, he had already expanded the coverage of the Heartstream Network ability to the entire forward base.
In other words, his actions were actually seen by over a thousand people in the entire forward base and its surroundings.
And those resurrected under the effect of the ability knew the causes and effects as well.
This caused the all-out riot, which should have required massive casualties to quell, to come to an abrupt halt.
The two sides who had been confronting or even exchanging fire the second before simultaneously chose to stop, quietly watching this performance akin to a miracle.
In front of the building where the combat command center was located.
“Can you stop now? Although the spilled blood can’t be recovered, at least no one is dead.”
Lu Bai maintained his hand seal forming pose, and under the backdrop of countless glow-green streamers behind him, he seemed like a savior in a daze.
Without experiencing death, it’s hard to imagine the weight of life.
Many rebel army members who had died and come back to life didn’t know how to express their inner gratitude and, in haste, kowtowed to Lu Bai repeatedly.
In this situation, no matter how strong Commander Zhang’s incitement was, no one would follow him against Lu Bai, let alone that Commander Zhang himself had already given up the idea of fighting to the death.
