My Ability Pool is Superior - Chapter 406: Conversation
Worth mentioning is that the City Association can precisely locate anyone in the Shelter, including those rats in the sewers of Can Society.
Whether they can find them or not only depends on whether the City Association is willing to expend such effort.
And a top rising star like Lu Bai is definitely on file with the City Association.
Learning that Lu Bai went missing right before the illegal intrusion incident, the suspicion on him is simply too high.
Even if they couldn’t make a definitive judgment, they still treated Lu Bai as the number one suspect and issued an internal notice.
“Lu Bai, it really is you.”
The moment the Elevator Door opened, the man standing in front of the crowd said in a deep voice.
The man’s left eye was covered with a Black eyepatch, and this highly distinctive appearance was basically hard to forget once seen.
So Lu Bai could be very certain that he had never seen this One-Eyed Dragon before.
But evidently, while he didn’t know these Cheng Zhi Wu, these Cheng Zhi Wu blocking the Corridor all knew him.
This didn’t prove Lu Bai was famous; it was purely because the City Association’s control over the Shelter was overly meticulous.
“Since you’ve come back, come with us.”
Seeing that Lu Bai had no response, the One-Eyed Dragon spoke again.
While saying this, the One-Eyed Dragon imperceptibly hunched his body, as if preparing to act immediately if Lu Bai resisted.
Fortunately, Lu Bai remained very calm and asked with slight curiosity: “Who are you?”
“Forgot to mention, I’m the Captain of the Second Team of Cheng Zhi Wu. My name is Yu Zheng; you can call me One-Eyed Dragon too.”
Seeing that Lu Bai showed no Aggressiveness, the One-Eyed Dragon’s Attitude naturally softened considerably.
After all, even though he had just joined not long ago, Lu Bai was still one of their Cheng Zhi Wu.
Strictly speaking, Lu Bai hadn’t done anything anti-humanity; at most, he was a bit out of line.
On the grand scale, he had indeed openly used Violence in violation of Shelter Rules and Regulations, engaging in behavior that posed a significant Risk to Shelter Safety.
But on the small scale, wasn’t it just a young person curiously checking out the situation outside the Shelter and taking a Stroll?
The One-Eyed Dragon said seriously: “Deputy Captain Lu, if you give up Resistance now and come with us to explain things clearly, I believe we won’t make things difficult for you. But don’t make this unpleasant for us; neither of us wants to see that Result.”
Lu Bai carefully sized up all the members of the Second Team of Cheng Zhi Wu gathered in the Corridor; he could confirm that every one of them possessed two or more Abilities.
That One-Eyed Dragon Captain possessed a full four Abilities and was fully qualified to be a Mona Warrior.
With mastery of [Load Game], Lu Bai wasn’t worried about being unable to Resolve these Cheng Zhi Wu, but he also didn’t want to have a direct Conflict with the Shelter side.
He still positioned himself on the stance of Humanity, after all.
Compared to a hostile race like the Mona People, it was better to unite the power on the human side as much as possible.
A harmless smile appeared on Lu Bai’s face: “I can come with you, but before that, could you prepare some Food for me first?”
“No problem at all.”
With the atmosphere easing, the One-Eyed Dragon naturally also noticed those Settlement Leaders in the Escape Elevator. He waved his hand boldly: “It’s all on me.”
Lu Bai went along with it: “Then I’ll trouble Captain Yu Zheng to prepare twenty thousand… thirty thousand, enough Food to sustain three thousand people for a month.”
“How much?!”
……
In the end, One-Eyed Dragon Captain still had the full amount of Food allocated.
With Shelter No. 9’s Food reserves, allocating this batch of Food was no problem at all.
It wasn’t for Lu Bai’s face; it was more because learning there were so many compatriots on the Ground starving made it hard for him to pretend nothing happened.
While the Food was still in transit, he and his Team Members had already taken Lu Bai away from this tallest Building in the Underground City.
The Convoy escorting Lu Bai was very low-key along the way, obeying Traffic Rules like waiting at Traffic Lights, and even yielding to pedestrians.
From this, it was evident they probably didn’t intend to do anything to Lu Bai.
The Convoy arrived at a Manor, located in the northeast of the Underground City, right next to the Armed Forces Barracks in the northeast.
There were personnel waiting at the Manor Entrance; upon seeing the One-Eyed Dragon bringing Lu Bai off the vehicle, they led the two into the Manor.
The environment inside the Manor was quite nice, full of green plants, but the main impression was tranquility, as if loud noise in such a setting would be impolite.
Both sides of the Road were guarded by fully armed Soldiers, and faint gazes could be felt from other directions, seemingly Hidden Sentries.
This main Road inside the Manor soon reached its end.
Waiting for Lu Bai at the end of the Road was an Elderly Person sitting in a Wheelchair.
The Elderly Person was thin and hunched, but their eyes were profound like a galaxy.
The One-Eyed Dragon stepped forward, gave a standard military salute to the Elderly Person, then stood behind them.
The Elderly Person looked at Lu Bai and smiled with some difficulty: “Young man, you already know, right?”
“What do you mean?”
Out of Respect for the Elderly Person, Lu Bai used a polite “you.”
“The world outside, and the Extraterrestrial Civilization.”
“I know.”
“Originally, with your current Authority, this Information shouldn’t be open to you yet, but since you’ve witnessed it with your own eyes, there’s no need to hide it from you anymore…”
Perhaps from saying too much in one breath, the Elderly Person started coughing toward the end.
The Medical Team behind them immediately swarmed forward and began Vital Signs Detection on the Elderly Person.
Fortunately, it was just a momentary catch; the Elderly Person waved for the Medical Personnel to step back and looked at Lu Bai with a somewhat self-mocking tone.
“What those compatriots on the Ground said is right. No matter what legitimate Reason, in the end, we betrayed them.
The so-called Shelter is just a product of compromising under the Hegemony of the Extraterrestrial Civilization.”
The Elderly Person sighed deeply, quickly adjusted their Emotion, and then asked: “Can you tell me what exactly you did after going to the Ground?”
Lu Bai’s brow twitched slightly; he roughly understood what this Elderly Person in front of him was worried about.
If the Influence wasn’t great and the Situation could be kept stable, they could pretend nothing happened, at most giving the Mona People an Explanation.
But the problem was…
Lu Bai chose his words carefully: “Actually, I didn’t do much. I left the Civil Defense Project, was Strolling around, and ran into a Youth. I followed him to stay one night in his Settlement.”
Before the Elderly Person could relax, Lu Bai continued: “Then the next day, I went with that Settlement Leader to meet a Mona Person. The Conversation didn’t go pleasantly, so I destroyed a Mona Starship.”
Elderly Person: “……”
