My Ability Pool is Superior-Chapter 47: Lucky Ricochet

Clang clang clang!
Upon receiving Zhou Zongming’s order, the heavy machine guns on top of the two armored vehicles began to crazy pour out firepower.
With the power of heavy machine gun bullets, there was no need to aim specifically; as long as one grazed or hit, it would result in immediate limb separation.
Bullets swept through, causing gravel to splash from the reinforced concrete walls.
Osas shrank behind the armored vehicle, looking at the corpses of several soldiers on the open ground, and said with lingering fear: “Lucky for us we reacted fast, or getting taken out by a shot like that would be too much of a loss.”
“When are we going in?” Liu Yue was becoming increasingly excited.
Xiao Xueyin observed the situation of the building and said: “Wait a bit longer; it’s too dangerous to go in now.”
Hearing this, Liu Yue immediately became dissatisfied: “Wait again? You’re not counting on these native troops to take out the Survey Corps, are you? I say we should go up now while we can; it’ll be more dangerous for us once all these native soldiers are taken out.”
“Miss Liu is right.”
Yan Zhiquan first nodded in approval, then suddenly seemed to think of something: “What does Brother Lu think?”
He looked around, startled in his heart.
“Where is Brother Lu?”
……
Lu Bai pressed the button to close the elevator door.
Due to the intense firefight on the emergency passage side, no one noticed him passing through the first-floor hall.
Zheng~
He looked around, swung the Eight-Sided Han Sword, and cut an outline on top of the elevator car large enough for an adult to pass through.
Then he sheathed the Eight-Sided Han Sword again, stomped his foot, and leaped up, directly breaking through it.
Bang!
The sound of Lu Bai landing on top of the elevator car echoed in the pitch-black elevator shaft.
He slowly straightened up and looked up toward the top of the elevator shaft.
With the faint light coming through the air vent, he could vaguely see two figures hidden in the darkness.
Lu Bai maintained his upward gaze and said with a smile: “Not taking the elevator was indeed a wise choice.”
“Facing us two brothers alone is probably not wise.”
Zhu Da’s voice was hoarse, somewhat unsettling.
Lu Bai drew the Eight-Sided Han Sword, weighed it in his hand: “Who knows.”
“You’ll know soon enough.”
Zhu Er smiled sinisterly: “Big Brother, let’s go.”
The two brothers at the top of the elevator shaft moved together, as if performing free fall.
But looking closely, sparks occasionally popped from the walls on both sides, caused by grappling hooks frictioning rapidly against the walls.
Lu Bai looked up, still wearing a friendly smile on his face.
“Something’s not right.”
Zhu Da didn’t believe that a death fighter who had survived this long would surrender so easily.
So he didn’t wait for the distance to close before acting; when he had fallen to about three floors high, he flung out a grappling hook.
Lu Bai tilted his head slightly, and the grappling hook gleaming with cold light nearly brushed past his eyes, easily piercing the elevator car.
Zhu Er was clearly not as cautious as his brother, landing directly on top of the elevator car; given the elevator’s size, this distance was no different from face-to-face.
He didn’t hesitate at all, pressing down with both hands, and several grappling hooks shot out from behind him.
For safety’s sake, Lu Bai’s complexion instantly turned red, [Blood Rage] activated.
His suddenly surging physical fitness allowed him to easily judge the attack trajectories of these grappling hooks.
Even in such a narrow environment, he could dodge and weave, avoiding all attacks.
To his surprise, though he clearly avoided all the grappling hooks, two blood marks inexplicably appeared on his body.
Not only was Lu Bai surprised, but Zhu Er in front of him also wore an incredulous expression.
[Lucky Ricochet (Gold): Your attacks have a chance to ricochet additionally, dealing 10% of original damage.]
No matter the aspect, this gold level ability was definitely not weak.
But don’t underestimate 10% of the original damage.
Just think of the grappling hook that pierced the elevator car; even one-tenth of its lethality was enough to threaten life.
But this attack only left blood marks on Lu Bai; calling it a minor injury was barely accurate.
This physical strength was absurd, even compared to zombies?!
“How…”
Zhu Er blurted out in shock, but before he could finish, he saw a flash of sword light.
After swinging one sword, Lu Bai didn’t even glance at Zhu Er again, decisively stomping down and soaring up.
His figure zigzagged in the narrow elevator shaft, continuously ascending toward Zhu Da above.
Incidentally, the moment Zhu Da saw Lu Bai swing his sword to take out his second brother, he realized something was wrong and had already used his grappling hook to climb to the height of the fifth floor.
Unfortunately, this distance was far from enough.
From a bystander’s perspective, Lu Bai’s pursuit looked like a severely frame-dropping screen.
He was like a high-ping warrior in a game; it was called movement, but more like flickering.
Zhu Da’s waist grappling hook finally hooked the top of the elevator shaft, pulling him up rapidly; as he breathed a sigh of relief, he finally had time to glance back at the situation below.
But as he turned his head, that flickering image like a ghost seeking life in a horror movie made his scalp numb, especially combined with the weird smile on the opponent’s face, sending chills down his spine.
“Fuck!”
Finally, a hand grabbed his nape.
“Goodbye.”
A gentle, almost abnormally mild voice sounded in Zhu Da’s ear.
For some reason, Zhu Da inexplicably felt a sense of relief as if unburdened.
[Ding!]
[Points +2, Current Points: 24, Current Rank 1/42]
……
Administrative Building, rooftop.
Bang!
The iron cover of the air vent was kicked open.
After Lu Bai leisurely climbed out, he casually patted the dust off his clothes.
The gunshots downstairs had not subsided; whether it was an illusion or not, Lu Bai even felt they were a bit more intense than at the start.
He strolled around the top-floor corridor and didn’t see a single figure.
“Does the Survey Corps trust that pair of brothers so much?” Not seeing anyone, Lu Bai felt slightly regretful and could only continue down to the next floor.
Although he was confident he could resolve any death fighter one-on-one, if he really had to face dozens of death fighters, he wouldn’t dare guarantee he could retreat unscathed.
There were simply too many variables from various ability combinations; it was best to resolve them one by one, like in the elevator shaft.
Suddenly, Lu Bai stopped at a corner in the corridor, looking down at the floor with an amused expression.
The system panel showed that the “node” overlapped with his position.
Next floor? Or the one after?
In any case, it wouldn’t be too far; after all, the entire administrative building was only eight stories tall.
After a brief thought, Lu Bai continued walking downstairs.
He estimated that the “node” was now on the Survey Corps leader.
With the firefight downstairs so intense, there probably wouldn’t be too many death fighters around Brother Hui, right?
