My Ability Pool is Superior

Chapter 423: Chapter 422: Just Browsing?

Xiao Zhengyan symbolically gave some instructions and quickly left, leaving behind two secretaries holding tablets to assign tasks to everyone.

These guys present were all shrewd individuals, and although Chairman Xiao had tried his best to conceal it, everyone there could pretty much guess what was going on.

After all, if it were official business, there would be no need to hide it from them.

However, as long as it didn’t affect them, no one present would say much.

The Bald Guy naturally overlooked this episode and gestured for Xiao Zhengyan’s two secretaries to quickly allocate tasks.

In fact, rather than assigning tasks, these two secretaries were more like explaining things on behalf of Xiao Zhengyan.

The people in the lounge, aside from Li Shan and Feng Yixuan who sneaked in with the Sixth Squad’s captain, were all deputy captains of some squad in Cheng Zhiwu.

There was no need for the City Council to command them on what exactly to do; just explaining the situation and letting them act freely would suffice.

Everyone was well aware of this.

"We’ll take care of suppressing the riot in the Fourth Habitable City,"

said the Sixth Squad’s captain as he handed the tablet back to the secretary, remaining calm and composed.

Before his words fell, a woman in a white suit stood up; her speech was rapid, exuding a feeling of decisive action: "Alright, then Yu Ji Campus’s Field Department will take over the First Habitable City."

"I heard your Yu Ji’s Field Department suffered quite a bit in the attack, can you still spare the strength? Make sure nothing goes wrong."

Originally, everyone was supposed to select their tasks individually, but hearing this, like catching a whiff of gossip, many turned their gaze towards them.

The one who said this was also a woman, albeit with a somewhat harsh appearance, a demeanor that kept strangers at bay: "It just so happens that my Chuzhong Campus is also in the First Habitable City, so it’s safer for my campus’s Field Department to take over."

"The matters at Yu Ji don’t need Deputy Minister Lei to worry about," responded the woman in the white suit casually.

Noting the arguing identity of the two, the people in the lounge unperturbedly looked away.

It was mentioned before, unlike Ancestral Hall, which always bottoms out, in the Underground City’s Death Battle Campus, Chuzhong, Yu Ji, and Chaoxi Ku belong to the first tier, and not having some friction between them would be strange.

Just that there was no one from Chaoxi Ku Campus in the lounge at the moment, otherwise the argument could have been even more heated.

While the two women were debating, the Bald Guy sneakily moved to Lv Bai’s side, squeezing out a friendly smile.

"My surname is Jiang, I’m the captain of our Tenth Squad, you can call me Old Jiang."

Lv Bai was slightly taken aback, turning his head to glance at this Bald Guy.

The Bald Guy seemed to have forgotten what he said earlier, his attitude very enthusiastic: "The thing is, I hadn’t reached out to you before because I hoped you could act freely, not neglecting you..."

Lv Bai adjusted his sitting position: "What does Captain Jiang want to say?"

"Here’s what I think, after all, you’re also the captain of our Tenth Squad, let’s act together on this task to suppress the riot in the Seventh Habitable City. It’ll be good for you, as captain, to meet your team members."

The Bald Guy paused: "What do you think?"

His demeanor was very humble, not at all like consulting a subordinate’s opinion.

As the saying goes, you don’t hit a smiling face; the captain’s putting himself down so much, of course Lv Bai wasn’t bothered by trivial matters.

"Okay."

After all, things were pretty idle now, no harm in taking a stroll.

In reality, among the allocated tasks, those involving suppressing riots accounted for more than ninety percent.

Most major anti-government Death Fighters in the Underground City came from Can Society.

Now, even the society’s president and hideout were gone, with only a few leftover rebels causing chaos here and there, the most concerns being a deputy president still at large needing caution.

For those present, such tasks were indeed no different from taking a stroll.

Lv Bai greeted Pu Xueli and others, then followed the Bald Guy out of the lounge.

The two walked side by side, took the elevator downstairs, arrived at the parking lot under the City Hall Building, and got into the car.

Throughout the way, the Bald Guy maintained an exceptionally attentive demeanor, eager as if playing a game needing to boost favorability.

This made Lv Bai straightforwardly remind him, which finally toned down the Bald Guy a little.

Incidentally, when the Bald Guy drove his compact electric car out of the parking lot, Lv Bai noticed that the gathered masses around the City Hall Building had been dispersed.

Instead, there were hundreds of armed soldiers surrounding the entire City Hall Building with a density almost five steps apart.

The Bald Guy noticed Lv Bai’s gaze and proactively started the conversation: "These soldiers haven’t wasted taxpayers’ money, blocking the road earlier so not even cars could get through was unacceptable."

Lv Bai fell silent, too many absurdities to know where to start...

...

Screech~

The Bald Guy slammed on the brakes, causing the tires to screech loudly against the ground.

He quickly rolled down the window, stuck his head out, and cursed at the long-skirted young woman just two meters in front of the car’s hood.

"Sun Wei! Are you fucking out of your mind? Jumping in front of my car, what are you trying to do?!"

The girl called Sun Wei didn’t explain, instead, she urgently shouted: "Captain, you’re finally here; there’s trouble at Shen Sanxi’s place!"

Before pulling Lv Bai to leave the City Hall Building, the Bald Guy had notified the members of the Tenth Squad to head to the Seventh Habitable City first to take control.

In his expectation, the Seventh Habitable City was supposed to be danger-free; facing some ordinary rioters, even if there might be Death Fighters with abilities, the squad’s members could easily handle it.

Unexpectedly, this "team-building" activity he regarded as such could still go awry.

The Bald Guy’s expression suddenly darkened: "Get in the car and tell me slowly, what exactly happened?"

After Sun Wei got in the car, she naturally noticed Lv Bai in the passenger seat, but because of the urgency, she didn’t have time to ask about Lv Bai’s identity, quickly reported an address, then began swiftly explaining the situation.

Listening to the girl’s urgent account, Lv Bai also understood what was happening.

It turned out that after receiving the Bald Guy’s notice, the members of the Tenth Squad soon gathered at the Seventh Habitable City.

To ensure control over the entire Seventh Habitable City, the members chose to spread out, each overseeing an area.

Initially, there weren’t any hitches, with plenty of special agents roaming the streets maintaining order, only calling for them when encountering unruly rioters.

However, not long ago, receiving a special agent report saying Death Fighter rioters appeared at the E3 intersection, the dispatched team members lost contact without making a ripple...
