My Ability Pool is Superior - Chapter 434: Opportunity

Night quickly passed, and a pale light emerged in the distant sky.

Everything was proceeding in an orderly manner, with no one noticing the undercurrents surging beneath.

The sky hadn’t fully brightened yet, but the forward base was already bustling first.

After the Escape Elevator’s nonstop operation overnight, the number of civilians returning to the surface approached ten million.

With such a massive number of people, it was almost impossible to control the volume anymore.

The hundreds of material collection points in the forward base were even more cacophonous, no less bustling than a morning market.

With so many people to this degree, if any trouble arose, it wouldn’t be easily quelled.

Fortunately, the Unified Management Committee had considered this point.

In chaotic times, heavy codes must be used.

After a meeting and discussion, the Unified Management Committee decided that any civilians causing trouble in the return to the surface work did not need to be reported; on-duty soldiers had the right to shoot to kill on the spot.

Exaggeratedly speaking, if any soldier felt unhappy and pulled the Trigger to unload a magazine of Bullets, they wouldn’t face any punishment.

With this rule in place, the Armed Forces’ deterrence against civilians was extremely exaggerated.

Even if any civilian felt they had been wronged, they only dared to complain softly and didn’t dare to argue with the person involved at all.

But even so, over a thousand people were still shot to kill on the spot throughout the entire night.

These corpses were packed in body bags and uniformly displayed beside the passages of the civil defense project to deter the civilians who had just emerged.

The bloody smell mixed with the scent of disinfectant assaulted the senses, making people unable to resist covering their noses.

Even the most arrogant guy, facing such merciless brutality, had to rein in his temper.

It was worth mentioning that under the Armed Forces’ high-pressure presence, the vast majority of civilians had given up applying to live in the forward base’s residential area.

There was no way around it; no one would be willing to stay in a place where life could be taken away at will.

Even if those so-called settlements were very unfamiliar and carried huge risks for them, they were still more relaxed than staying in the forward base.

Many people chose to leave after collecting their due supplies.

This resulted in the forward base’s residential area not yet being fully occupied even now.

All in all, less than half of the prefabricated board houses in the residential area were occupied.

Moreover, the entire residential area’s footprint was quite large, and with the dense population, crossing the whole residential area would likely take at least an hour.

However, in such a large area, the sky above was filled with Drones equipped with long-range Weapons, swarming like a dense hive.

A rough estimate put it at least ten thousand units.

The powerful military force ensured the residential area’s stability and further dispelled the civilians’ idea of living here.

“How many did you pull this time?”

At the forward base perimeter, Big Flower Arm saw Zheng Yongliang alone and proactively walked over to inquire.

Zheng Yongliang pursed his lips and explained, “I found a few, but they weren’t willing to go together.”

At the exit of the material collection point, civilians continuously walked out.

And along both sides of the road, many were waiting; as soon as someone emerged, they immediately went up to converse.

Undoubtedly, it wasn’t just Zheng Yongliang’s group pulling people; clearly, it wasn’t just the White-Robed Monar Warrior developing the puppet army.

Even Big Flower Arm and Zheng Yongliang knew that up to now, they had no idea how many people had been pulled to join the Mona Person side.

“Don’t pretend with me; do you think your little schemes can fool me? I’ve already pulled six waves back and forth, and you haven’t brought even one person back. Are you trying to report us?”

Big Flower Arm glared at him fiercely and lowered his voice to threaten, “I’m telling you, if you dare have second thoughts, I’ll deal with you first.”

Zheng Yongliang shuddered in fear.

To be honest, he really didn’t have the guts to report it.

But abandoning humanity’s stance to help the Mona People was something he truly couldn’t get past in his heart.

He had always been one of those very ordinary people.

Bad, but not bad enough; good, but not particularly good.

“I’m warning you upfront: among our batch, you’re the only one who hasn’t pulled anyone back. When I take this batch back, I’ll conveniently report to the lord. If he blames us and someone dies, don’t blame me.”

Big Flower Arm glared at Zheng Yongliang, clearly worried that Zheng Yongliang’s poor performance would affect the White-Robed Monar Warrior’s evaluation of them.

He still hoped that lord would entrust him with important tasks.

……

“Is that so? So that young man isn’t truly loyal to the master.”

The White-Robed Monar Warrior shook his head with a laugh.

Big Flower Arm nodded vigorously and flattered, “Lord, as long as you give the order, I’ll immediately go deal with that kid. I absolutely won’t let such an unexpected factor affect your grand plan.”

The White-Robed Monar Warrior couldn’t hold back his laughter anymore.

After laughing enough, he stroked Big Flower Arm’s head gently, like petting a pet: “I can see it; you were never meant to be human.”

“Yes, sir, you’re absolutely right.”

“You’re just lacking an opportunity.”

“Sir has keen insight.” Big Flower Arm slapped his thigh, his face showing excitement.

“There’s something I need you to do.”

“I’ll go through fire and water for you, sir.”

“Take people and capture the Forward Base for me.”

“Huh?”

Big Flower Arm froze in place, seriously suspecting he had misheard.

Capture the Forward Base? Me?

Even without considering Cheng Zhi Wu stationed there or the Field Operations Department personnel from the Deathmatch Campus.

The entire Forward Base, just the Armed Forces responsible for maintaining stability, had over three brigades, and was equipped with Heavy Firepower.

From the moment Machine Guns were developed, human wave tactics had already lost all meaning.

Not to mention at the current stage, Weapon performance had already become much more powerful.

Without exaggeration, even if all the Civilians who had already Returned to the Surface rioted, being slaughtered to extinction would just be a matter of Time, they couldn’t even escape, the Drone Swarm hovering in the Sky would pick them off one by one.

“Don’t worry, for a subordinate as loyally devoted as you, I wouldn’t bear to send you to your death. I’ll gather ten thousand men for you, you all go together to assault the Forward Base, and at the same time scatter the handwritten Leaflets. Write the content of the Leaflets just like this.”

The White-Robed Monar Warrior handed him a standard template speech script, the content similar to what he had said that evening.

He patted Big Flower Arm to reassure him, then added: “Don’t worry, the Lord will provide you with the necessary help. Humanity’s outdated Weapons are just mere fire sticks in the face of the Lord’s great power.”

Big Flower Arm could hardly maintain the fawning expression on his face, looking particularly ugly.

He wasn’t stupid himself.

What help from the Lord?

Whether there would be help was still uncertain—what if it was just a pie in the sky?

After all, this Action looked like it was using their lives to stir up more dissatisfaction among the Civilians against the City Association.
