My Ability Pool is Superior-Chapter 8: Silly Grin

Gurgle~
A slight gurgling sound broke the silence.
Tian Wang awkwardly covered his stomach and gave an embarrassed laugh to everyone present.
But at this moment, no one would mock him.
After all.
“Is everyone hungry?”
Ke Jianghao shifted his gaze away from the computer screen and looked around.
They had rushed to the office to help right after class, and it had been half a day without eating anything.
Realizing this point, Ke Jianghao clearly knew that staying in this office forever was not realistic.
“Objective temporarily set as the Sisters Supermarket across the street from the school.”
Lu Bai stood by the window: “Prepare for action.”
Everyone gradually gathered around, and even Zheng Xiaoming swallowed and unsteadily stood up.
No matter how afraid they were of facing zombies, as long as their brains were working, they all knew to fight for a way to survive while they still had strength.
Lu Bai lowered the end of the “thick rope” he had woven, extending it slowly out the window.
During this process, he honestly explained the situation: “I must remind everyone, materials are limited, and I can’t guarantee the quality of the rope.”
All he could do was be the first test subject himself.
“Then… what if it breaks midway?” Tian Wang’s complexion turned pale.
Hearing this question, Lu Bai turned around, sized up Tian Wang who weighed about two hundred pounds, and showed a gentle smile.
“Don’t ask the warrior of light such dark questions.”
He hesitated for a few seconds, then explained: “At worst, a fracture or something, as long as it’s not the head hitting the ground, there won’t be life danger.”
“Pfft~” Wu Ya couldn’t hold it in and stole a laugh.
Obviously, Tian Wang wasn’t comforted at all; instead, his face became even more mournful.
However, this interruption eased the heavy atmosphere before the action began quite a bit.
Lu Bai tied one end of the rope to the desk.
Then he propped himself up with one hand, flipped onto the windowsill, and squatted: “I’ll go down first; wait until I clear the zombies before coming down.”
“You alone?”
Ke Jianghao frowned: “This is too risky.”
During this time, he hadn’t just been checking information.
He had also taken time to wrap his textbook around his arm to avoid being bitten by zombies in a struggle.
Of course, even with preparations, he didn’t think he could directly confront a zombie.
Just enduring one zombie’s meat bullet impact would make anyone understand these zombies’ formidable degree.
In his view, being able to pool everyone’s strength to resolve the blocking zombies was already very good.
Ke Jianghao gritted his teeth and grabbed the rope: “Like this, I’ll go down first; just like before, I’ll attract the zombies’ attention, and you strike.”
Lu Bai tilted his head slightly and chuckled: “Just consider it me repaying Student Wu’s life-saving grace.”
As soon as he finished speaking, without waiting for a response, Lu Bai gripped the rope and slid down quickly.
Honestly, his descent speed was so fast that to onlookers, it was no different from jumping straight down.
Ke Jianghao, Wu Ya, and the others hurriedly gathered at the window, worriedly observing the situation downstairs.
Smack~
The crisp landing sound immediately attracted the attention of several nearby zombies.
Lu Bai straightened up again, slowly drawing the Eight-Sided Han Sword from behind while looking around.
Facing food dropped from the sky, how could any zombie hold back.
Over a dozen zombies on the entire open ground all drooled from the corners of their mouths, roaring as they charged at Lu Bai.
Although the number of zombies on the open ground couldn’t compare to the other side of the teaching building, dragging it out too long might attract more zombies.
“Don’t worry, I won’t waste too much of your time.”
Lu Bai smiled and charged into the zombie horde with his sword raised.
After his physical fitness was enhanced by the zombie virus, facing a few zombies in an open area, Lu Bai could still handle it with ease.
After all, the same power with a brain versus without was completely different.
A zombie with half its face torn off charged the fastest; its whitened pupils showed no trace of humanity.
Thanks to this, Lu Bai had no psychological burden when chopping it.
The moment he rushed into the zombie horde, he swung his sword.
The zombie was directly decapitated, and that half-rotted face head flew high, like pulling the curtain on the slaughter.
Lu Bai’s actions were simple but efficient.
Every sword swing felled a zombie.
Clearly in the midst of the dangerous zombie horde, he moved as leisurely as strolling in his own backyard.
No matter how the zombies lunged and bit, they couldn’t truly attack him.
It was worth mentioning that throughout this process, Lu Bai still wore a serene smile on his face.
This scene, in the eyes of the onlookers at the window, was shockingly indescribable in their hearts, and even carried a bit of anomaly.
“So amazing, which class is he from?”
“Lu Bai, he… this…”
“Am I the only one who thinks he’s very dangerous?” Zheng Xiaoming trembled as he adjusted his glasses frame.
Ke Jianghao stood stunned in place, unable to find suitable words for a moment.
Thinking back to how he had coerced such a guy before, he felt a wave of fear.
Wu Ya covered her mouth with her hand; the subtle feelings she had developed for Lu Bai in her heart hadn’t grown before turning into fear.
To be fair, from a bystander’s perspective, Lu Bai’s mental state really didn’t seem normal.
……
Moments later.
Limbs and severed arms littered the ground, fully illustrating what had just happened.
Right under Lu Bai’s feet at this moment, blood was flowing.
However, he wasn’t concerned with the bloody smell lingering around him; instead, he uncertainly reached to touch the corner of his mouth.
Earlier, while focused on dealing with zombies, he had no energy for expression management.
Precisely because of this, after the battle ended, he terrifyingly realized he had unconsciously shown a smile.
An out-of-place smile was already quite terror-inducing.
Even if it was closer to a silly grin.
It was still shocking.
This absolutely couldn’t be explained by a natural love of smiling.
Fortunately, Lu Bai hadn’t yet noticed any influence this situation had on his mental state.
It could be considered a blessing amid misfortune.
He took a deep breath, sorted his emotions, and called up to the people in the office.
It was worth mentioning that the “lifeline” woven from curtains and a few school uniform jackets wasn’t as poor in quality as imagined.
At least when Tian Wang used it, it just stretched taut with a creaking sound.
Everyone gradually reached the ground and gathered together, each intentionally or unintentionally sizing up Lu Bai.
Obviously, his performance with such a stark contrast was hard to set aside mentally.
But special situations called for special handling.
As the undisputed strongest combat power in the team, even if Lu Bai was truly off somewhere, no one would be willing to drive him away.
Ke Jianghao hesitated, then couldn’t help asking: “Lu Bai, you…”
“This isn’t a place to talk.”
Lu Bai could guess what they wanted to ask and simply interrupted directly.
