My Ability Pool is Superior-Chapter 40 - 39: The Hunt

"Can you tell which ones are the Death Fighters?"

Liu Yue stood with her hands on her hips, scrutinizing each of the onlookers outside the police line.

"There, aren’t those all of them?"

Zhuo Li pointed at a few broken corpses within the police line.

When chaos erupted at the settlement point, several Death Fighters attempted to storm the research center amidst the confusion.

But just by looking at the awkwardly twisted corpses within the police line, it was clear that the forced intrusion had failed.

Snipers were stationed on the rooftops of the research center and the nearby administrative building for vigilance.

It’s like in the whole of Handong Province, only Qi Tongwei, with his high-precision sniper rifle, could effectively supervise Sha Ruijin.

Under the sniper, everyone is equal.

Many shooting games actually downplay the deterrence of snipers on the battlefield.

For a Death Fighter, storming a building under the blockade of several sniper rifles is not an easy task either.

Perhaps only some Death Fighters with special abilities could sneak in, but their numbers couldn’t be too many.

Liu Yue rolled her eyes at Zhuo Li, saying discontentedly, "I meant the living ones."

"Just a joke."

Zhuo Li chuckled, unhurriedly pointing a few times in the crowd: "That one, and that one, that auntie, and the bald guy next to her, these guys are all suspects."

"But we better not act so openly, let’s start by finding those hiding alone," Xiao Xueyin suggested, picking up the conversation.

"Of course, of course."

Zhuo Li waved his hand grandly, "Follow me."

...

Clang~

The sword light flashed through the tent, sharp as autumn water.

A silhouette fell limp without any struggle.

[Ding!]

[Points +1, current points: 17, current ranking: 1/117]

Watching Lv Bai wipe the blood off the Eight-sided Han Sword, Liu Yue triumphantly put her hands on her hips and said, "How about it, isn’t our team pretty good?"

This was the seventh Death Fighter they had hunted down.

In terms of point distribution, considering that they couldn’t cause much commotion, it was basically whoever got the chance took the point.

After operating together for some time, Lv Bai had roughly figured out the roles of the other members in the team.

Zhuo Li focused on intelligence reconnaissance, Liu Yue would step up for control opportunities, while the hoodie guy excelled at assassination and sneak attacks.

As for Xiao Xueyin, the leader who established the team and with the existence of Zor’s Group, he positioned himself as support, and no one had any objections.

Although Lv Bai had crossed paths with him before and knew he was quite skilled.

The whole team seemed quite complete, except for a slightly weak spot in frontal combat.

But this weakness was compensated by Lv Bai’s joining.

Based on this, it would be hard to say that Xiao Xueyin randomly formed a team with a few Death Fighters.

Lv Bai glanced at Xiao Xueyin, who appeared sickly on the surface, and asked with great interest, "Did you really intend to invite Guo Mi before?"

"Actually, I initially planned to recruit you, but my instinct told me that if I approached you straight away, you’d probably chop me down on the spot."

Xiao Xueyin’s reply sounded like a joke, yet oddly sincere.

Lv Bai rubbed his chin, recalling the scene at that time.

With Xiao Xueyin’s odd way of appearing, after just chopping down Guo Mi, it seemed that no matter what, he would have slashed first and asked questions later.

The sky was faintly brightening, tinged with a pale blue on the distant horizon.

The five of them snuck out from a tent, noticing that many onlookers previously gathered in the corridor had already rested in place, starting to nod off.

After all, the chaos seemed to have been brought under control by the military, and since there was no danger, most citizens naturally wouldn’t force themselves to stay awake.

Of course, only a few chose to go back into their tents to rest directly.

"It’s almost dawn."

Zhuo Li first looked up at the sky, then turned to the others, "Shall we temporarily stop?"

Xiao Xueyin thought for a while and said, "Let’s find the next target."

"We’ve already taken down seven Death Fighters, continuing to act seems quite risky." Zhuo Li explained his concerns.

After all, they hadn’t dealt with the bodies, and it was only a matter of time before they were discovered.

Xiao Xueyin glanced at the ’Node’ position on the system panel, still unchanged, and then asked, "Since someone started the chaos, do you think it will just end with no outcome?"

As they conversed, a woman’s scream suddenly came from not far away.

Everyone turned towards the sound, Zhuo Li even climbed onto a tent to the left to observe for a moment, feeling somewhat helpless: "Oh boy, not ’possibly discovered anytime,’ but ’already discovered.’

The sudden scream startled many of the dozing people on the roadside to a start.

Some even instinctively started to flee as they stood up, only to bashfully stop once their senses returned.

"What’s going on?"

"Are the infected attacking?!"

"It sounds like someone is screaming."

"Damn, I was just having a good sleep."

Soon, a squad of fully armed soldiers rushed towards the screaming direction.

The leader was an old acquaintance, clearly having not rested all night from the tiredness on Zhou Zongming’s face.

Lv Bai frowned, retreating behind the group.

Due to a lack of sleep, Zhou Zongming passed by without noticing Lv Bai.

"Guys, something doesn’t seem quite right."

Once the squad of soldiers moved away, Zhuo Li said, "The woman who screamed seems to be a Death Fighter?" 𝕗𝕣𝐞𝐞𝘄𝐞𝚋𝚗𝗼𝘃𝗲𝗹.𝚌𝕠𝚖

Hearing this, Xiao Xueyin immediately furrowed his brows.

"Are they trying to frame us?" the hoodie guy said with a stern face, looking ready to confront at any provocation.

"No, they shouldn’t be. We didn’t leave any traces pointing to us, and Zhuo Li confirmed that we weren’t secretly watched during our actions."

Xiao Xueyin’s furrowed brow relaxed slightly, "If I’m not mistaken, someone’s planning to get serious."

Da! Da! Da!

As if to prove his point, dense gunfire shattered the night’s silence.

It wasn’t a one-sided shooting; the dense gunfire indicated two groups engaging in fierce combat.

No one needed to remind him, Zhuo Li quickly explained the situation: "One side is the squad of soldiers that just passed, and the other is people from the Investigation Corps. Damn, where did they get so many guns?"

"What’s the point of this firefight?" Lv Bai was a bit surprised.

"It seems more like they’re trying to draw attention...,"

Xiao Xueyin picked up the conversation, but just as he did, he suddenly turned and looked towards the research center.

At that instant when he turned his head,

Boom!!!

A violent explosion occurred on the rooftop of the research center, thick smoke rising, and numerous broken stones scattering in every direction amidst the blast.
