My Ability Pool is Superior-Chapter 14: Bang!

Counting from the start of the zombie outbreak, six hours had already passed.
The street was empty, with not many zombies, and not a single pedestrian in sight.
The occasional one or two zombies were also scattered around storefronts and street corners.
These zombies stupidly standing motionless in place posed absolutely no threat to Lu Bai; whenever he encountered one, he conveniently slashed it with a sword.
There were quite a few cars parked crookedly along both sides of the road, with several still emitting wisps of black smoke.
Accompanied by the dim yellow glow of the setting sun, it gave a desolate, wasteland-like loneliness.
“It’s quieter than I imagined.”
Lu Bai walked on the sidewalk, looking around left and right.
He had a pistol hanging from his waist, and an eight-sided Han sword slung on his back.
His expression looked very relaxed, but there was no doubt that if an accident occurred, he could instantly switch to combat stance.
Speaking of which, he had originally left the store with the intention of hunting death fighters.
He figured that according to the position announced by the system, it should be easy to find the death fighter.
Unexpectedly, he had come up empty at two locations in a row.
To be honest, with the experiences from the previous two times, he didn’t have high expectations for this one either.
After all, the position announced by the system wasn’t real-time; the delay was too great, leaving ample time for the death fighter to transfer.
Those who stayed in place were either confident or idiots.
Lu Bai resolved two zombies that didn’t know better along the way, gradually venturing deeper into the urban area.
He stopped under a department store, raised his head, and slightly narrowed his eyes to size up the eight-story building.
He muttered, “He should be inside here, right?”
……
Hotel across from the department store, fifth floor windowsill.
“Holy shit, baby, come quick, there’s someone down there—holy shit, how does he dare to wander around on the street?!” Tang Peng’s eyes bulged, his entire face pressed against the glass.
Hearing the sound, a woman with shoulder-length short hair hurried over. “There’s actually someone, and he seems like a student?”
Tang Peng swallowed hard, somewhat excitedly saying, “Baby, we’ve seen how powerful those monsters are—that guy can flip a small car in one go. Do you think it’s safe outside now? Otherwise, how could this student be fine?”
They were a couple who had come to this city for tourism.
Due to certain reasons, they slept late, so the two slept until noon before being startled awake by various screams.
The two quickly got up and observed the situation through the glass, but the horrific scenes unfolding on the street scared the young couple so much they didn’t even dare to open the house door, let alone go out to find food.
Locked in the hotel, they had starved for an entire day—who could endure that?
Now that they saw hope, they wanted to rush out immediately to find something to eat.
“No… no, don’t rush, let’s watch a bit more.”
Zhou Meina tightly grabbed Tang Peng’s sleeve.
She was timid; no matter how hungry she was, she didn’t want to take risks lightly.
It was precisely because of this that the couple witnessed a jaw-dropping scene.
Bang!
Crash~
From their perspective, the tempered glass door of the department store was kicked in by that student, and the tempered glass shattered into small particles that scattered all over the ground.
How exaggerated was this situation?
To put it this way, tempered glass can withstand pressure of 70-100 mpa, which is 700 to 1000 kg per square centimeter of force.
It was understandable if shattered with a pointed hammer or similar tool, but for it to be kicked to pieces by a person in real life was truly absurd.
Under the department store.
Lu Bai didn’t know that his actions had all been seen by the couple in the building across the street.
Of course, even if he knew, he probably wouldn’t care.
He limped over the broken glass.
By the way, his fractured calf bone was caused by kicking this tempered glass door.
The zombie virus had erupted at noon, yet the main door of this department store was locked.
“There should still be living people inside the building.” No one came out to check after all this commotion?
He muttered to himself while slowly moving, also waiting for his right leg to recover.
Entering the interior of the department store, a thick bloody smell hit him in the face.
Goods on both sides were knocked over on the ground; shoes and wallets were scattered everywhere, and the messy bloody footprints easily allowed one to imagine the chaotic scene at the time.
From the interior displays, it seemed this place had been packed with people before the zombie crisis erupted.
Suddenly,
A roar sounded from inside a clothing store.
Looking towards the sound, through layers of shelves and clothing racks, he could vaguely see a half-paralyzed zombie struggling to crawl.
“Seems like someone broke its spine.”
Lu Bai, kind-hearted and unable to bear seeing the zombie suffer, drew his eight-sided Han sword and put it out of its misery.
He casually wiped the blood from the blade with clothes hanging on a rack, sheathed the eight-sided Han sword, and only then suddenly realized a problem he had overlooked.
Why,
in this vast first floor, was there not even a single corpse?
His body muscles gradually tensed—there was definitely something wrong!
The next second, blazing firelight filled his vision.
Boom!!!
……
Department store, rooftop.
Staring at the billowing thick smoke surging from downstairs, a crew cut youth squatted on the railing and clicked his tongue in wonder. “Old Song, isn’t the power of this explosion a bit too much?”
“Sigh, what kind of worldly affairs are these?”
The one called Old Song was a scruffy man wearing high-prescription glasses. He grumbled discontentedly, “Wasn’t it you guys who insisted on making it big for safety’s sake?”
The tall woman crossed her arms, leaning against the railing, and said indifferently, “We were just worried you’d bring the whole building down.”
“Heh heh, isn’t that because we have the beautiful Guo here?” Old Song instantly switched to a lecherous grin.
Guo Mi took out a cigarette, lit it, took a deep drag, and habitually exhaled a smoke ring, her movements exuding elegance.
“Enough chit-chat. Are you sure the guy downstairs is dead?”
“Not yet, my points haven’t changed, but with this much power, he’s either dead or crippled.”
Guo Mi said nothing, turning her head to look towards the rooftop entrance.
There stood a burly man with his upper body bare, an apron tied around his waist, dressed like a standard butcher.
With his back to the three on the rooftop, his bone cleaver kept smashing at a zombie.
If standing beside this burly man, one would notice that from the rooftop entrance to the corridor, it was already piled with zombie limbs and broken arms.
Seeming to sense the gaze, the burly man turned his head and rubbed the sweat beads from his forehead with his elbow.
Burly man: “For safety’s sake, Peng Qi, come down with me.”
“I have business too?”
The crew cut youth jumped down from the railing, saying impatiently, “Fine, fine, then I’ll take those points for myself.”
The corridor was filled with a nauseating bloody smell, not to mention the blood, bones, and limbs all over the ground.
However, the crew cut youth called Peng Qi acted as if he saw nothing, stepping inside without changing expression.
The burly man also got up immediately, shook the blood droplets from his apron, and followed.
