Pick and Choose
As netizens shared the news privately, the live stream's popularity continued to rise.
Besides, since Lu Bai and the others have already left campus, there's even less need to shut down the live stream.
Upon receiving instructions from his superiors to continue filming, Observer Chen had no choice but to continue filming with his camera.
The bombing zone was too far away to see clearly, and since there weren't any retention rate or other performance indicators for this thing anyway, he simply pointed the camera at Lu Bai.
Lu Bai didn't seem to mind that there was a camera constantly filming him.
He got out of the car and immediately asked about the questions he was more concerned about.
When will the citywide evacuation begin?
Three hours later.
At this moment, the entire city is brightly lit.
Looking around, the roads were crowded with vehicles and pedestrians.
At every intersection, you can see police cars or armored vehicles parked on the roadside.
Police officers and Action Department personnel holding indicator lights maintained order on the roadside.
Even if it's not as densely populated as having guards every three or five steps, it's easy to find official personnel to help at any time.
Especially on the main roads leading out of the city, vehicles were backed up in a long line.
Lu Bai sat cross-legged on top of an armored vehicle, his ears filled with the cacophony of walkie-talkies and loudspeakers.
Please show your driver's license.
"Do not crowd! Evacuate in an orderly manner."
"The car in front, drive faster!"
"Citizens without vehicles, please come here to line up and board the bus. Don't panic, stay calm."
Each armored vehicle is equipped with heavy weapons that provide a strong sense of security, not just to prevent riots.
After all, since the strange occurrences began, these evacuation drills have become the norm.
The "Emergency Management Guide for Unusual Disasters," jointly developed by the Action Department and other departments, is almost universally available to the public, ensuring that even a mass evacuation in the dead of night will not cause any chaos.
These heavy weapons are purely for the purpose of preventing other strange occurrences.
The main issue is that such a high density of people gathering late at night can easily attract strange occurrences.
But Lu Bai's attention was not on these evacuation efforts.
He kept looking around, trying to find the death row fighters mingling in the crowd.
At first, he was still figuring out the fastest way to find the deathmatchers.
However, he soon realized that this city-wide evacuation would itself maximize the chances of finding the trail of the fighters.
It was somewhat inappropriate, but he felt as if he had to thank that abomination.
You should know that every Deathmatch fighter has a prominent title above their head.
Unless you patiently stay in the city and don't move with the main force.
Otherwise, during such a mass relocation, it would be impossible to hide; the fighters hidden among the crowd could be spotted from a great distance.
Of course, many deathmatch fighters will choose to remain in hiding.
But most die-hards chose to follow the crowd and move on.
Ultimately, many deathmatch enthusiasts didn't believe that Lu Bai would go on a killing spree in front of so many people, and exposing himself didn't worry them too much.
During the evacuation, Lu Bai had already seen no fewer than dozens of fighters.
The truth is, he didn't actually do anything on the spot; he simply let the points pass him by.
Of course, he didn't do nothing.
He silently memorized the identities of these deathmatch fighters for future reference.
On the other hand, he was selecting from these various Gold level abilities.
[Wind Chaser (Gold): Consumes a certain amount of stamina to perform a rapid sprint at approximately ten times the normal speed. The farther the sprint distance, the greater the stamina consumption for the user.]
[Alpha Strike (Gold): Consumes stamina; the user will traverse the battlefield at a speed imperceptible to the naked eye, launching four attacks in total. The user is untargetable during this time. Cooldown is 30 seconds.]
[Ura 108 Styles - Eight Wine Cups (Gold): Accumulates cold flames in the palm and releases them outwards, using the power of the cold flames to damage the nerves and skin of the victim.]
[Portable Armory (Gold): Obtain an armory stored in an alternate dimension. It costs a certain amount of stamina to use. Each use will randomly retrieve one weapon from the armory.]
[Let's Get Married (Gold): When used on someone of the opposite sex, the other person will marry the user on the spot, but this ability will not affect the independent will of either spouse.]
Lu Bai acquired more than ten abilities.
Unfortunately, no particularly effective methods have been found so far.
There's nothing we can do about it; this is the extent of Gold level ability can achieve.
Fortunately, Lu Bai wasn't in a hurry and decided to preserve the rule-based abilities that might have surprising effects for the time being.
He immediately ruled out abilities that were clearly ineffective against the supernatural.
I picked and chose for a while.
The three abilities currently in the temporary skill slot have been adjusted to [Bursting Qi (Gold)], [Alpha Strike (Gold)], and [Let's Get Married (Gold)].
It is worth mentioning.
The save/load process will not have any special impact on the fighters.
If you're even slightly careless, you might only realize your abilities are malfunctioning when you need to use them.
However, Lu Bai had already read the abilities of twenty or thirty death fighters.
With such a large sample size, some die-hards will inevitably notice this.
It was noticeable that in the crowd, a girl with a bow hair clip raised her hand and shook it twice in disbelief, then her expression suddenly changed drastically.
The ability to choose will be taken away.
I've never even heard of such a thing.
Even if you want to find the culprit, you don't know who to turn to.
Moreover, with only the ability available in the first round, once that unique ability fails, the Deathmatcher is essentially no different from an ordinary person.
Beside the girl wearing a bow hair clip was a refined-looking man in a tailored suit, who seemed to notice his companion's unusual behavior.
While waiting in line to board the bus, she turned to the side and asked in a low voice, "What's wrong?"
The girl with the bow hair clip managed to regain her composure and forced a smile, "You dandy, what... what's your ability again? I've forgotten."
"Portable Armory, didn't I tell you that? When did your memory become so bad?"
The man in the suit, described as a dandy, reached his right hand into his pocket, intending to try his luck and see if he could randomly get a tank or something.
The weapon he had imagined did not appear, and his face darkened.
Seeing this, the girl with the bow hair clip no longer hid her panic. "Could it be that you too?"
The suave guy nodded almost imperceptibly, then turned his head to look at where Lu Bai was.
"No way? 'Innocent Smile' did this?"
The dandy took a deep breath and gestured with his chin toward a white-collar worker not far away. "Come on, there's a 'Swift Minion' guy up ahead, let's go ask him."
