My Ability Pool is Superior-Chapter 48 - 47: Lucky Ejection

Clang clang clang!

Following Zhou Zongming’s orders, the heavy machine guns atop the two armored vehicles began to unleash a furious barrage of fire.

With the power of the heavy machine gun bullets, there’s no need to aim precisely; even a graze would result in immediate limb separation.

As the bullets rained down, fragments of broken stone flew from the walls of reinforced concrete.

Ossas huddled behind the armored vehicle, looking at a few soldiers’ corpses on the open ground, and said with lingering fear, "Good thing we reacted quickly; getting taken out by a shot like that would be a real loss."

"When are we going in?" Liu Yue seemed increasingly excited.

Xiao Xueyin observed the situation with the building and said, "Let’s wait a bit longer; it’s too dangerous to go in now."

Upon hearing this, Liu Yue instantly became dissatisfied. "Wait again? You don’t expect those native troops to take out the Investigation Corps, do you? I say we should go now; waiting until these soldiers are all taken out will make us even more dangerous."

"Miss Liu is not wrong."

Yan Zhiquan first nodded in agreement, then suddenly seemed to think of something: "What do you think, Lü?"

He looked around, startled.

"Where is Lü?"

...

Lv Bai pressed the button to close the elevator doors.

Due to the intense crossfire near the emergency passage, no one noticed him passing through the first-floor lobby.

Thwang~

He glanced around, swung the Eight-sided Han Sword, and cut a silhouette big enough for an adult to pass through at the top of the elevator car.

He then sheathed the Eight-sided Han Sword again, and with a push of his foot, he leaped up, directly breaking through it.

Bang!

The noise Lv Bai made landing on top of the elevator car echoed in the dark elevator shaft.

He slowly stood upright, looking up toward the top of the elevator shaft.

In the faint light coming through the ventilation duct, he could vaguely see two figures hidden in the darkness.

Maintaining his upward gaze, Lv Bai smiled and said, "Not taking the elevator was indeed a wise choice."

"Facing the two of us alone might not be wise."

Zhu Da’s voice was hoarse, making people somewhat uncomfortable.

Lv Bai unsheathed the Eight-sided Han Sword, weighing it in his hand: "Who knows."

"You will find out soon."

Zhu Er gave a sinister smile: "Big brother, let’s go."

The brothers at the top of the elevator shaft moved together, as if they were in free-fall.

But with a closer look, you can notice that sparks occasionally appeared on the sides’ walls, caused by hooks locking and brushing against the walls at high speed.

Lv Bai looked up, still wearing a gentle smile on his face.

"Something’s off."

Zhu Da didn’t believe that a Death Fighter who had survived this long would be so easily captured.

Thus, he didn’t wait to get closer to attack but shot out a hook at about three stories’ height.

Lv Bai slightly tilted his head, and the cold hook almost grazed his face, easily piercing the elevator car.

Zhu Er was not as cautious as his brother and directly landed on top of the elevator car; in terms of the elevator’s area, this distance was almost face-to-face.

Without hesitation, he pressed down with both hands, sending several hooks shooting out from behind him.

Out of caution, Lv Bai’s face flushed red in an instant, activating the [Blood Burst].

The sudden surge in physical prowess allowed him to easily discern the trajectories of the hooks.

Even in such a narrow environment, he managed to skillfully dodge all the attacks.

Unexpectedly, despite dodging all the hooks, two strange blood marks appeared on his body.

Not only was Lv Bai surprised, but Zhu Er also wore a face of disbelief on the other side.

[Lucky Ejection (Golden): Your attacks have a chance to ricochet, dealing 10% of the original damage.]

From any angle, this golden-level ability was by no means weak.

Don’t underestimate 10% of the original damage.

Consider the hook that pierced through the elevator car; even one-tenth of its destructive power could pose a life-threatening risk.

Yet, such an attack only left mere blood marks on Lv Bai’s body, barely qualifying as a minor injury.

Is this body’s toughness more ridiculous than a zombie’s?!

"How..."

Zhu Er, shocked, blurted out. Before he could finish his sentence, he saw a flash of sword light.

After slashing with his sword, Lv Bai didn’t spare Zhu Er another glance and took a decisive step, leaping skywards.

In the narrow elevator shaft, his figure darted back and forth, constantly ascending, heading towards Zhu Da above.

Incidentally, when Zhu Da saw Lv Bai slash through his younger brother, he already realized something was wrong and used his hooks to climb to the height of the fifth floor.

But unfortunately, that distance was far from enough.

From a spectator’s perspective, Lv Bai’s pursuit looked like a severely lagging game screen.

He was like a high-ping warrior in a game, moving but closer to blinking.

Finally, the hook on Zhu Da’s waist caught onto the top of the elevator shaft, quickly pulling him upwards, allowing him to breathe a sigh of relief. He finally had a moment to glance back at the situation below.

However, when he turned around, the scene flickering like a horror movie ghost haunting him froze his scalp, especially combined with the strange smile on the other man’s face, sending cold sweat down his whole body.

"Damn!"

Finally, a hand clasped his nape.

"Goodbye."

A voice, gentle to the point of being abnormal, sounded in Zhu Da’s ear.

For some reason, Zhu Da inexplicably felt a sense of release, as though a weight had been lifted off his shoulders.

[Ding!]

[Points +2, Current points: 24, Current rank: 1/42]

...

Administrative building, rooftop terrace.

Bam!

The iron cover of the ventilation shaft was kicked open.

After Lv Bai leisurely climbed out, he nonchalantly patted the dust off his clothes.

The gunfire downstairs hadn’t ceased. As if it were an illusion, Lv Bai even felt it was more intense than when it started.

After wandering around the top-floor corridor, he didn’t see a single person.

"Does the Investigation Corps trust those brothers so much?" Not seeing anyone, Lv Bai felt slightly regretful and could only continue down to the next floor.

He was confident of dealing with any Death Fighter one-on-one, but facing dozens of them at once wasn’t something he could guarantee escaping unscathed.

With such varied abilities, the uncertainty was too great; it was best to deal with them one by one, like in the elevator shaft.

Suddenly, Lv Bai stopped walking at the corridor corner, looking playfully down at the floor.

The system panel showed that the "Node" coincided with his current location.

Is it the next floor? Or the one below that?

In any case, it can’t be far; after all, the entire administrative building has only eight floors.

After thinking for a moment, Lv Bai once again stepped downstairs.

He guessed that the "Node" should now be with the commander of the Investigation Corps.

With the fierce shootout downstairs, Hui probably wouldn’t have too many Death Fighters by his side, right?
