As Lu Bai’s words fell.
It was as if soone had flipped the switch for the room lights; bright light suddenly appeared, instantly illuminating the entire Underground City.
“Eh?”
“The Holographic Sky Screen is back?”
“Is the ergency repair complete?”
“Great.”
“Over here, co help quick, my wife is injured!”
Humanity inherently fears Darkness and yearns for light.
A Dark environnt, hidden and private… easily stirs up the desires deep in people’s hearts.
This is also why many criminals prefer to commit cris at night; it makes them feel comfortable and safe.
Correspondingly, in a bright environnt, even if they have those kinds of thoughts, many people feel too embarrassed to act on them.
Those who can truly act like beasts are, after all, a minority.
So even if Lu Bai had only done this one thing—making the entire Underground City light up—it would imdiately reduce the Chaos everywhere by more than seventy percent.
Li Shan stared dazedly at Lu Bai, then ca back to his senses and awkwardly cleared his throat a couple of tis, hoping that this extraordinarily capable Junior Schoolmate in front of him hadn’t seen his lapse in composure.
……
City Hall Building.
As the power center of the entire Underground City, ensuring the City Association’s operation takes top priority.
Even before Lu Bai had lit up the Underground City, this building was already ablaze with lights.
Even when the Underground City suddenly lit up, it only caused a montary pause in the Building’s busyness.
In the City Association Standing Committee mber’s Office, secretaries ca and went, reporting the Situation.
On the plaque placed to the left of the Desk, the three words Xiao Zhengyan reflected the sheen of Power.
Xiao Zhengyan, dressed in his black uniform, glanced at the lit-up view outside the window and casually ntioned to check it out clearly, then paid no more attention.
From disaster relief and preparations for war with the Mona People, to the mobilization of Ard Forces and Cheng Zhi Wu, all these tasks required his Decision Making.
After all, even the smallest issue here could affect the entire Underground City and even Humanity’s future.
“Speaker Xiao, Gucheng Industry sent a ssage hoping for priority…”
The secretary beside him continued reporting on various Aspects, and the ntally draining busyness made Xiao Zhengyan irritably light a Cigarette.
He let out a long breath and said, “How are the eting preparations going?”
The secretary waiting behind heard this and imdiately stepped forward: “We haven’t contacted Speaker Wang yet, but the pre-eting Preparatory work is almost done.”
Xiao Zhengyan stood up and walked toward the door: “Then we won’t wait. eting starts in ten minutes.”
The group strode imposingly through the Corridor; Xiao Zhengyan caught sight from the corner of his eye of firelight and gunsmoke rising again over Number Seven Yiju City, followed by faint Weapon sounds.
He couldn’t help but sigh, turned his head, and said in a low voice to the secretary following closely at his side: “Old Duan, trouble you to go to my house.”
The man called Old Duan nodded imdiately and said, “Speaker, no need to worry. I’ll head over right away. As long as I’m alive, Xueyin will be fine.”
……
“Lu… how long can this last?”
Pu Xueli gazed at the daylight-like glow above the Shelter.
He said, “Let there be light,” and the world lit up.
He couldn’t tell at all where the Light Source ca from; it was as if it were truly the kind of power only a deity could wield, where words beco reality.
Lu Bai glanced at his Ability description and said, “No need to worry. Maintaining this Ability consus practically nothing for .”
The Sixth Squad Captain looked at him sowhat cautiously and added, “Deputy Captain Lu, if you don’t mind, I’ll Report it, so the City Association doesn’t waste energy on Investigation.”
In truth, Lu Bai taking out the President and single-handedly dismantling Can Society was already quite standout Performance, but he hadn’t expected him to do sothing so unexpected as well—truly unfathomable.
Even figures like the Sixth Squad Captain and Pu Xueli from the Shelter’s Upper Echelon felt sowhat unnatural facing Lu Bai.
Li Shan noticed the odd atmosphere and took the initiative to speak: “Ahem, with no ergency Mission, shall we head to the City Hall Building next?”
Lu Bai: “I’m fine either way.”
“Then back to the City Hall Building first.”
……
Rip~
In a Yiju Building that hadn’t collapsed in the Explosion.
The Young People expressionlessly tore a still-warm Corpse in half.
“Interesting. This dump is more dangerous than the Cultivation World.”
He said that, but there wasn’t the slightest hint of fear in his tone.
After a simple sigh, he continued his Action, nostrils flaring as if a Beast searching for prey.
Soon, he found a new Objective and headed toward it without hesitation.
The Young People reached the Stairwell; the originally two-person-wide Corridor had cracks from the previous Explosion, looking precarious as if it would collapse with one step.
But the Young People paid no mind to such Risk, leaping up and crossing the height of an entire floor.
He then stepped out from the Stairwell, and in his ears ca soone Shouting for help—shouting toward the Street from the window.
After the Underground City lit up, Order gradually returned, so such cries for help still drew quite a bit of attention.
An Armored vehicle could be seen stopped on the Street; several special duty personnel who got off the vehicle shouted for him to Calm Down while quickly rushing upstairs.
The Young People didn’t retreat because of this, nor did he hide much; right in front of so onlookers downstairs, he walked to the window and placed his hand on the head of the person calling for help.
The civilian calling for help suddenly convulsed, his originally healthy build shriveling at a visible speed.
This scene looked particularly Terror in the eyes of those nearby.
Without a doubt, this was Supernatural Power.
The Armored vehicle’s Pilot hurriedly pulled out his Walkie-talkie, describing the Situation to stop his colleagues’ Action while Reporting what happened here.
This wasn’t sothing ordinary people like them could handle; better to let Cheng Zhi Wu professionals deal with it.
Though cri incidents were happening everywhere in the Underground City now, cases involving Ability-wielding Death Fighters had relatively high priority.
The Command Center quickly decided, dispatching the nearest Cheng Zhi Wu to handle it; as for them, they just needed to secure the scene.
Normally, that would be enough; even Ability-wielding Death Fighters wouldn’t kill so brazenly unless they had a death wish.
However, unexpectedly, the Young People stuck his head out the window without a care, his mouth curling into a ferocious grin.
The next mont.
A “bang” was heard as the entire wall was kicked down.
Then the Young People pounced straight down from the third floor, eliciting a wave of panicked exclamations from the Crowd.
