Chapter 305: Active Attack
After all, it can carry over a million population of a city, so the Containment Center’s land area is quite exaggerated.
This caused Lu Bai to still be unable to clean it up completely even if he handled anomalies non-stop.
Moreover, with his unmasked action, the surviving civilians along the way naturally followed behind him subconsciously after recognizing him.
Such civilians were not few, and before Lu Bai had even cleaned up the anomalies in Area A of the Containment Center, a vast crowd had already gathered behind him.
Not to mention tens of thousands of people acting so crowded together, even a slight disturbance could cause a tragic Stampede Incident.
Just having such a large crowd following behind would seriously slow down Lu Bai’s speed.
However, facing the countless gazes of hope from the civilians, Lu Bai still couldn’t bear to tell them to disperse and fend for themselves.
Not to mention he was live streaming now; if the Guardian God’s image collapsed, it would definitely affect the efficiency of using Spirit Bomb.
Of course, every gain has its loss.
With so many crowds gathered, in the eyes of anomalies, it was no different from driving with high beams on the opposite lane.
Later on, Lu Bai didn’t even need to rush to places ravaged by anomalies; with a slight wait, anomalies would come knocking on their own.
“Get out of the way quickly.”
“Watch out!”
“Ah!!!”
Lu Bai noticed the crowd’s agitation once again.
The overly massive team had stretched the distances front, back, left, and right quite far, making it hard to see clearly in the darkness what anomaly it was.
Lu Bai shouted loudly with experience: “All make way.”
The crowd near him obediently parted to both sides, clearing a corridor two people wide.
Quick-witted guys even took the initiative to assist, repeatedly shouting words like “make way” so Lu Bai could rush over at the fastest speed to handle it.
After obtaining the [Spirit Bomb] ability, Lu Bai didn’t need to run right up to the anomaly.
When still one to two hundred meters from the disturbance, Lu Bai stopped, raised both hands high, and condensed a Spirit Bomb.
In the blink of an eye, the familiar blue-white energy Light Sphere reappeared above Lu Bai.
Just as he judged the energy gathering was about right and prepared to smash it down at the anomaly’s position.
A bright light suddenly flashed in the distance, followed by a deafening explosion.
Lu Bai instantly felt his whole body hairs stand on end; his body’s subconscious warning made even his breathing stagnate temporarily.
No time to turn and observe what that light in the distance was; he first activated [Flash Time], then [Bursting Qi].
After everything before his eyes solidified, he vaguely made out what kind of attack this was.
It was a dark golden object resembling a Missile.
This appearance was obviously the type that would explode.
Lu Bai quickly judged that even if his speed doubled now, he couldn’t dodge it, so he could only use [Alpha Strike] to bet on avoiding the moment of maximum damage.
[Flash Time]’s 0.5 seconds passed in an instant.
This dark golden Missile flew straight at him, then exploded instantly.
Boom!!!
The Explosion’s Firelight swallowed everything, like a small nuclear blast, making the Ground quake.
Centered on Lu Bai’s original position, the civilians within the Explosion’s scope didn’t even get to scream before dying on the spot.
After the Explosion came the extremely terrifying Shockwave; with this power, not to mention ordinary people—even some anomalies would probably have to temporarily avoid its edge.
The Moon also became hazy under the sky-filling smoke and dust stirred up by the Shockwave, hard to see clearly.
After the Explosion, it felt as if the world had been muted for a moment.
After a long Quiet, mournful wails began to rise one after another.
……
At the position from which the dark golden Missile was launched, atop the Ruins that had collapsed and fallen apart.
A Flat-headed Man bent over, hands on his knees, spitting out the Grit in his mouth.
After spitting enough, the Flat-headed Man turned to look at the Twin-tailed Girl slumped on the ground.
“Why didn’t you tell me beforehand that your ability has such huge recoil?”
[Hornet Thunder God Whip (Gold): Consume all Power to launch a Missile to bombard the enemy, producing a massive Explosion with extremely wide scope and extremely strong power.]
The Twin-tailed Girl weakly waved her hand and said feebly: “You… wait for me… to recover a bit…”
The man wearing thin-rimmed Glasses trembled as he lit a Cigarette with his Finger, took a deep drag: “How is it? Did you get it?”
Before the Twin-tailed Girl could reply, someone else answered first.
“No, ‘Smiling Face is still alive’.”
Ruan Boyang walked to the edge of the Ruins, with four Death Fighters of varying expressions following behind him.
Facing these uninvited guests, the trio on the Ruins immediately raised their Vigilance.
“No need for the three of you to be tense.”
Ruan Boyang shrugged and added: “Our Idea is the same; it’s just that you acted first.”
Jiang Kang adjusted his Glasses frame, calmed his inner Tension, but did not relax his Vigilance.
“You guys also plan to take down ‘Smiling Face’?”
“Since we’ve entered the same Deathmatch Arena, making a move on ‘Smiling Face’ is just a matter of time.”
“Then it seems we can cooperate temporarily.” Jiang Kang showed a formulaic Smile.
After all, for Death Fighters, as long as they could take down Lu Bai and obtain Points, it didn’t matter how many people this world’s anomalies killed.
Whether the Natives in the Deathmatch Arena lived or died, or how many died, was never in their consideration.
After a simple exchange, the two groups reached a consensus.
Ruan Boyang suggested: “After taking such an Explosion, even if ‘Smiling Face’ is still alive, he’s probably not in good shape. Shall we go finish him off?”
Since the other side was so nonchalant, Jiang Kang naturally didn’t want to show weakness.
He exchanged a Gaze with the Flat-headed Man and Twin-tailed Girl behind him, then responded: “Let’s go then. As for how to cooperate, we can discuss on the way.”
……
“Where is the Guardian God?”
“Ah!!!”
“My leg! My leg is gone!”
“Where is the Guardian God?!”
“Wife! Wife, wake up…”
The Area after the Explosion was littered with corpses, a complete Mess.
All sorts of mournful wails were incessant, making the already tragic Scene even more desolate.
It was indeed because the population had gathered too densely before; after such an Explosion, the Casualties numbered far more than ten thousand.
As for Lu Bai at the very center of the Explosion, thanks to [Bursting Qi] enhancing his Physical Fitness, plus using [Alpha Strike] to precisely avoid the wave of maximum damage, he only suffered some superficial injuries that didn’t affect his Action.
However, his Clothes were inevitably torn and tattered, making him look quite disheveled.
He patted the dust off his Body, gazing in the direction the attack came from, his face bearing a Smile so kind it was somewhat creepy.
“Not hiding obediently, but coming at me instead?”
