My Ability Pool is Superior-Chapter 13: Silver Level Strength

The toppled shelves made this small supermarket look like a mess.
Snacks, drinks, and such were scattered chaotically on the ground.
Lu Bai sat squatting by the cashier counter, and the Eight-Sided Han Sword had fallen beside his feet when he was shot.
He supported himself with one hand on the ground and covered his gradually self-healing wound with the other.
Previously, the blood overflowing from between his fingers had soaked his clothing, staining it with an irregular patch of blood red, making him look somewhat miserable.
Not to mention, the Common Face was still holding a gun to his head.
Wu Ya had originally been hiding behind the shelves in fear and trepidation, but upon seeing this scene, she suddenly mustered a burst of courage from somewhere.
She couldn’t help but shout: “Stop it… What do you want to do!? This is illegal!”
Her voice carried an undisguisable tremor, making it hard to say how much deterrence such a rebuke had.
“Right, killing is illegal.”
The Common Face tilted his head and looked towards where Wu Ya was, suddenly grinning: “Then why aren’t you running? Are you reminding me to resolve the witness?”
Hearing this, not only Wu Ya, but everyone including Ke Jianghao felt as if their hearts skipped half a beat.
At that moment, a crystal-clear whooshing sound suddenly appeared.
Thud~
An arm holding a gun fell to the ground with a sound, the cut extremely smooth, even revealing the bones, muscles, and fat inside.
After swinging the sword, Lu Bai slowly raised his head and said softly: “So, why did you dare to get so close to me?”
It seemed everything happened too fast; the Common Face didn’t react at all and was stunned for a moment looking at his arm on the ground.
“Ah… Ah! My hand!!”
Only after the cross-section of the arm began gushing blood did the Common Face uncontrollably let out a heart-wrenching scream.
Brother Niu’s reaction was quite fast.
Realizing the situation was bad, he decisively raised his gun to aim at Lu Bai and began emptying the magazine.
However, Lu Bai had already prepared when he swung the sword; his whole body was like a hunting cheetah, perfectly embodying what it meant to move like a startled rabbit.
He slapped the ground hard with one hand and leaped up, dodging the first bullet while grabbing the Common Face by the neck, lifting him up as a human shield, then rapidly closing in on Brother Niu like a ghost.
As the saying goes, beyond seven steps, the gun is faster; within seven steps, the fist is faster.
In a certain sense, this was correct.
Speed is, after all, relative.
In the end, Lu Bai didn’t need to be faster than the bullets; he just needed to be faster than the opponent turning the muzzle.
It was worth mentioning that Brother Niu was very steady.
In this critical moment, he didn’t panic and fire all the bullets; since he had no grasp of hitting Lu Bai hiding behind the “human shield,” he simply gambled by firing a shot at Wu Ya.
Suffering from the disadvantage of the narrow environment, he could only bet that Lu Bai would save her.
As for if Lu Bai didn’t save her, Brother Niu could only say there was no way around it.
After all, though it seemed long, from the moment Lu Bai swung his sword, it was only a few short seconds; being able to make a quick decision was already very good.
The fact was, Brother Niu bet right, but not completely right.
When Brother Niu turned the muzzle, Lu Bai had already smashed the Common Face towards Brother Niu.
Then he stomped the ground hard and lunged forward; the terrifying force of that step even cracked the ground tiles into a spiderweb of fine fissures.
The several meters distance passed in an instant, and he swung a sword by feel.
Sword light flashed.
The reliable sharpness of the Eight-Sided Han Sword instantly cut Brother Niu and the Common Face together into two sections.
【Ding!】
【Points +1, Current Points: 2, Current Rank 57/279】
【Points +1, Current Points: 3, Current Rank 13/278】
Almost at the same time, mechanical prompt sounds rang successively in Lu Bai’s mind.
……
“Do you know what you’re saying?”
Ke Jianghao’s gaze held both shock and absurdity, but more than that was disbelief, like an entire pie chart.
“Let me confirm again: you say you’re not people from this world? You came to this world just to kill each other? Could it be you’re aliens? ET?”
“I’m not joking.” Lu Bai symbolically patted the cashier counter.
The crowd gathered around the cashier counter, their gazes occasionally drifting to the two corpses in front of the roller shutter door, then quickly shifting away in panic.
Perhaps from vomiting too much, looking at such a bloody scene now, their vomiting resistance had increased quite a bit; even those two young girls only had slightly pale complexions.
“It’s not that I don’t believe you.”
Ke Jianghao swallowed some saliva and sighed: “I just feel… today has really been eye-opening.”
Tian Wang and Zheng Xiaoming looked at each other,
Lu Bai glanced at him obliquely: “Believe it now?”
Ke Jianghao didn’t respond; instead, Wu Ya nodded: “Setting aside the fantastical elements, your explanation isn’t entirely implausible.
Anyway, I think if you were from our school, I definitely wouldn’t have zero impression of you.”
Of course, Lu Bai’s superhuman self-healing ability also added considerable persuasiveness to his statement.
Wu Ya felt the temperature on her face and softly added: “This is the real reason you insist on leaving, right?”
Lu Bai bent down to pick up a bottle of Coke from the ground: “Something like that.”
Hiss!
Carbon dioxide mixed with Coke bubbles sprayed out from the bottle cap.
Once the bubbles had mostly dissipated, Lu Bai took it to his mouth and chugged a mouthful: “If I stay with you all the time, it won’t be safe for you either.”
This was the truth.
Before this duo arrived, the system had announced the death fighters’ distribution positions once; on the radar map at that time, there were no death fighters shown nearby.
This duo had clearly come specifically to hunt Lu Bai after the position announcement, but ended up flipping the car in the end.
Normally, two death fighters with guns dealing with a lone death fighter would be a sure win nine times out of ten.
Though Lu Bai wasn’t clear on what proportion “hunter playstyle” guys like this duo made up among death fighters, he figured it wasn’t small.
Moreover, from the three death fighters Lu Bai had encountered, he had his own judgment on the strength of silver abilities.
In his view, silver level abilities all touched on supernatural power to some extent, but also had considerable restrictions, or defects.
This was the so-called high ceiling, low floor.
At the right moment, a silver level ability might even be stronger than a gold level one.
His gold level 【Super Regeneration】’s advantage lay in stable performance.
But if a death fighter sniped him from afar with a headshot, without need for rescue, no amount of stability would help.
So, if he relied on his gold ability to underestimate other death fighters, he might suffer a big loss.
With this in mind, Lu Bai felt he couldn’t stay in the same place for too long.
He had to leave the store.
Go kill all the other death fighters!
