My Ability Pool is Superior - Chapter 453: Starting Now

Beneath the building where the Combat Command Center was located, a brutal massacre was unfolding.

That’s right, no matter who looked at it, no one would think this was a battle.

Piercing screams rose one after another, and the scene was completely one-sided.

Even the First Detachment team members were almost too lazy to make a move; just the action of three team members had pushed this rebel army of nearly ten thousand people to the brink of collapse in a short time.

Ordinary people could not pose any threat to any First Detachment team member of Cheng Zhi Wu with just the firearms in their hands.

Yet the abilities of the First Detachment team members were powers that ordinary people could not block.

Not far away, Lu Bai silently observed everything, and his face showed no sign of his usual habitual smile.

The thumb and index finger of his right hand rubbed unconsciously, clearly thinking.

After experiencing one large-scale social experiment in the Cultivation World, even though it could not be compared to the real world, it had made his view of systems less optimistic.

After thinking, only two choices remained in front of Lu Bai.

To formulate a relatively perfect system, then believe in the wisdom of posterity.

Or to sit high in the heavens and become a god of the mortal world?

Speaking of the former first, looking at the history of human development, it might indeed be spiral ascent, but its essence has never changed.

The various so-called social systems that constantly iterate and evolve seem to always be influenced by all aspects such as productivity, philosophy, education, superstructure, and the like?

But seeing through these interferences, one finds that these are all effects, not causes.

Including the most important productivity among them, which provides the driving force for system changes, but only determines the upper and lower limits of the social system.

So the question is, what exactly is the essence of the social system?

A general description is the ownership of the means of production and the state of personal freedom.

From humanity’s first upright walk to the splendid horses and angry rides of the Information Age, the formation of any social system depends on these two points.

And the complexity of human nature dooms these two points to never remain unchanged; this is not pessimistic, it is an objective fact.

So.

What about the second choice?

Many people have fantasized, if they had the power to change the world, what they would do.

Perhaps maintaining world peace, everyone is equal, such grand narratives.

Or perhaps living in seclusion in the city, watching mortal worldly affairs from a transcendent perspective.

But the most likely is wanting to protect Earth on the first day, and following the desires of the heart on the second day, turning it into protecting my Earth.

Unlike most people who can only fantasize, Lu Bai truly possessed the power to change the world, even to rule the world.

At this moment, Lu Bai silently asked himself in his heart, if it were him, how long could he hold on?

Faced with this question, he could not give a definite answer.

However, he still slowly stood up.

Thinking thoroughly is still no match for actual action.

“Then let’s try it, starting now.”

He looked towards the building where the Combat Command Center was located, and [Read] quietly activated.

The next second, the lava that had been continuously bubbling up from the ground abruptly disappeared, leaving only some web-like cracks and a strong sulfur smell.

Those rebel army members who had been confused in mind and fired at their comrades also regained control of their own bodies, immediately moving their fingers away from the triggers of their firearms.

It had to be admitted that even without supernatural abilities, these team members absolutely belonged in the elite scope.

Just in the field of close combat, any team member pulled out could face five or six burly men without the slightest pressure.

But the problem was, even though the rebel army on site had been easily slaughtered by more than half of them, there were still several thousand left, and the gap in numbers between the two sides was absurdly disparate.

Without being able to use abilities, it was simply a hopeless situation.

Faced with this change of circumstance, the First Detachment team members of Cheng Zhi Wu inevitably showed panicked emotions.

The First Detachment captain also discovered that he could no longer use his abilities; his complexion was extremely ugly as he directly pulled out his communication equipment to contact the Combat Command Room.

Many rebel army members on site discovered that the lava blocking their escape passage had disappeared and thought those Cheng Zhi Wu team members had shown mercy, immediately scrambling to flee, crazily wanting to get away from this place.

However, such people actually made up a very small proportion in the rebel army.

To put it bluntly, in the face of artillery strikes and the collapse of the main force, the civilians who were still willing to rally under the rebel army flag and follow Commander Zhang to the forward base had already made mental preparation for death.

They had long known that they were actually mayflies shaking a tree; these Cheng Zhi Wu’s slaughter of them merely proved this fact.

No longer willing to be running dogs, there was naturally no need to look for opportunities to escape; at most, they felt a bit dejected.

“What is this now…?”

“Why did they stop on their own?”

“The City Association’s running dogs are indeed too formidable; it is not a crime to not fight.”

“So unwilling, we were just a little short of breaking in.”

Of course, not all rebel army members stood dejectedly in place; there were still many rational and clever people in the rebel army who immediately turned to observe those Cheng Zhi Wu team members.

This observation was extraordinary; they quickly discovered that the panic on these Cheng Zhi Wu team members’ faces could not be faked, and a bold guess inevitably arose in their hearts.

Mainly because they had been awed by the previous performance of those Cheng Zhi Wu team members, they had not rushed to take action to verify their guess.

It had to be said that at a time like this, only hotheads could break the deadlock.

Commander Zhang’s arm had been burned through with a hole by the lava; he endured the searing pain and roared: “I won’t retreat anymore; the spirit of resistance lives forever!”

With that, he pressed the gun stock against his ribs, held the gun with one hand, and directly pulled the trigger towards several Cheng Zhi Wu team members at the gate.

Those few Cheng Zhi Wu team members at the gate had already focused their attention on him when Commander Zhang shouted.

Detecting his intent to fire, they preemptively dodged to both sides of the gate, causing Commander Zhang’s burst of bullets to yield no results.

But for the rebel army, this was enough.

The rebel army quickly realized that it was not these City Association’s running dogs suddenly showing mercy; it seemed they could no longer use their supernatural powers.

“Shoot them dead!” A quick-thinking guy immediately shouted.

Before the words had fallen, and before the surviving rebel army on site could respond, a figure appeared out of thin air in their line of sight, blocking in front of the building where the Combat Command Center was located.

Lu Bai hovered in the air about ten meters above the ground, ensuring everyone present could see him.

“Stop.”

Lu Bai’s voice was very soft, yet it made everyone present feel as if the sound rose from the depths of their own hearts: “Give me face.”
