My Ability Pool is Superior-Chapter 51 - 50: Instant Kill
"This is Squad Six. The third-floor security passage has been secured. Please issue orders,"
Zhou Zongming heard the squad leader’s report and glanced towards the direction of the hall: "Hold position and prepare to assist... support personnel."
"Understood."
The so-called support personnel naturally referred to Xiao Xueyin and the others. 𝒻𝑟𝘦𝘦𝘸ℯ𝒷𝑛𝘰𝓋ℯ𝘭.𝘤𝘰𝘮
To tell the truth, Zhou Zongming found it ridiculous.
When he contacted them, he hadn’t even stated his purpose, yet one of the young delinquents took the initiative to ask if they could help inside the government building.
With the request already made, it was better to try anything that might work.
Zhou Zongming gave a brief explanation, then had his deputy take them into the government building.
He certainly knew that this decision carried significant risks, but thinking realistically, the situation was already dire enough; how much worse could it get?
He couldn’t quite let over a hundred of his men end up inside the government building without trying something. Ultimately, Xiao Xueyin and the others didn’t behave like ordinary citizens; maybe they’d bring some unexpected surprises.
...
Fourth floor, in the office corridor.
A man in sportswear was being frantically shot at by several soldiers.
The Death Fighter dashed left and right, as bullets struck him, but they had little effect on his movements.
[Agile Dodge (Gold): When you maintain movement, dodge all non-lethal attacks.]
If reality were a game, the symbol "miss~" would continually pop up over his head.
To achieve this effect, the key lay in the phrase "non-lethal attack."
In the ability’s judgment, being shot, bleeding, and losing limbs were considered fatal but not to the point of immediate death.
The Death Fighter just needed to ensure his head wasn’t hit by bullets to weave through the gunfire like a dragon.
Taking advantage of a soldier’s reload moment, the sportswear-clad Death Fighter slid across the floor, delivering a hook punch that momentarily lifted the soldier’s feet off the ground.
Afterward, he used the same method to take out the remaining soldiers one by one.
...
Around the corner of the hallway.
Leading with a riot shield, a squad of soldiers carefully advanced.
"Woohoo~"
An excited shout abruptly startled the soldiers.
The soldiers were a bit tense but couldn’t identify where the voice came from.
One soldier seemed to realize something, mechanically looked up, and was horrified to find a figure hanging upside down from the hallway ceiling.
It was a young man holding an automatic rifle, with a black bat tattoo on his neck.
The young man grinned: "Surprise!"
He pulled the trigger at almost the exact same time.
There’s no need to aim; just spraying was enough for a headshot.
After a series of screams, none of the soldiers survived.
...
In the staircase from the first to the second floor.
Xiao Xueyin cautiously followed behind the deputy, appearing quite sensible.
"Tut tut tut~"
Looking at the splattered bloodstains on the wall of the safety passage, Liu Yue clucked his tongue endlessly: "The casualties are really tragic."
"Lower your voice," Yan Zhiquan whispered, then added: "But it seems like the Investigation Corps was prepared beforehand. I suspect there’s a traitor among us giving information."
"What are you implying?"
Liu Yue put her hands on her hips, indifferently lifted her chin, and gestured towards Ossas: "Are you suggesting the traitor is this guy? Or Lv Bai?"
"That’s not what I meant."
Yan Zhiquan gave Ossas a smiling face: "But wasn’t it strange when Lü suddenly attacked and took out those two men in suits?"
From their perspective, there was a minor conflict.
However, with the threat from the Investigation Corps and Ten Blades, it’s quite extreme to take fatal action against potential allies over minor disagreements, as if they always intended to eliminate those two, and the reason was fabricated casually.
Also, when the Investigation Corps’ Death Fighters fired at the empty space, Lü Bai quickly broke away from the team without saying anything, which seemed suspicious to Yan Zhiquan.
"It’s certainly suspicious, but I don’t think Lü Bai is part of the Investigation Corps," the Death Fighter, looking like a typical tech guy, interjects.
As a lone wolf, he was already skeptical of other Death Fighters. By maintaining this mindset, he could more objectively evaluate Lü Bai’s actions.
In the worst-case scenario, if Lü Bai was the traitor, staying with them would be the best way to play the role of a traitor.
"For now, let’s not doubt our own people. Maybe it’s just someone in the Investigation Corps who has long-range observation abilities."
Yan Zhiquan nodded: "That’s possible. Let’s trust for now."
Ossas shrank his neck, trying hard to minimize his presence.
Being a former member of the Investigation Corps, he felt somewhat awkward in this discussion, but he quickly found a new topic.
"Look, the ’Node’ has moved."
"It really has."
Liu Yue flexed her wrist: "It’s on Hui, isn’t it?"
...
"Where’s Hui?"
A middle-aged man holding a high school biology textbook looked surprised as Lv Bai emerged from the stairwell.
"Hui just left. Didn’t he tell you?"
Lv Bai’s innocent smile was genuinely endearing.
Though the middle-aged man sensed something wrong, he didn’t act against Lv Bai immediately.
"Left? I didn’t see anything. Wait, haven’t I seen you before?"
The middle-aged man noticed Lv Bai getting closer, cautiously taking two steps back.
Lv Bai didn’t slow his pace but casually found a topic.
"Are you a biology teacher? I heard the biosphere is divided into kingdom, phylum, class, order, family, genus, and species, but I don’t understand why family is smaller than class and phylum?"
"Uh... Because class and phylum come before family."
The middle-aged man habitually responded.
During the conversation, the distance between them unknowingly narrowed to three meters.
Lv Bai shook his head, smiling: "Wrong answer."
In the next moment, the picture in the hallway seemed to freeze, with Lv Bai appearing behind the middle-aged man, giving a drastically disjointed feeling.
Slash!
The middle-aged man’s wound gushed blood, clearly pierced through the heart with a sword in an instant, with no time to react.
Kneeling in pain, in the final moments of his life, he let out a hysterical alert.
"Enemy attack!"
Lv Bai was on the fifth floor, where there were more Death Fighters than just the middle-aged man.
Even with the gunfire from below as interference, within mere seconds, several Death Fighters rushed out from adjacent offices.
At this moment, Lv Bai had just turned into the fifth-floor hallway from the stairwell.
It’s worth noting that the Investigation Corps’ Death Fighters were currently somewhat perplexed.
Bear in mind, the gunfire hadn’t subsided; the battle below was still raging, so how could a stranger appear here?
"Who are you?"
"Uh-oh, the ’Node’ is on him."
"Where’s Hui?"
"Forget about that, take him out first!"
