Containment center, Temporary command center.

Perhaps the supernatural beings didn't notice it, or simply didn't believe that this so-called command center posed any threat to them.

In short, since the incident occurred, no strange entity has come to cause trouble.

Of course, even though the Conference Hall of the Temporary command center was relatively safe for the time being, the atmosphere inside was still far from relaxed.

Minister Zhang, dressed in military uniform, stood in front of a display screen, his back ramrod straight, but his face was extremely grim.

"Minister, takeoff preparations are complete. Please board the helicopter and evacuate immediately."

The young secretary, who also served as his bodyguard, stood anxiously behind him, repeatedly urging, "The situation is beyond repair."

Minister Zhang shook his head, then said in a deep voice, "Summarize the current situation at the containment center."

The young man standing to his side gritted his teeth and obediently began to report.

"Based on reports from various sources, the following facts are noteworthy: the overall organizational structure of the containment center has collapsed, various areas have been separated, and the main isolation contingency plan has been activated..."

"Given the appearance of Sequence 92—the Ghost in the Back—the surface evacuation routes are now completely blocked..."

To be honest, most of the people present were professionals who had dealt with the supernatural, and they were not unprepared for the possibility of losing their lives.

But,

What is all this?!

With things having deteriorated to this point, what's the point of holding on anymore?

Staying in the Temporary command center would be tantamount to suicide.

Now that things had come to this point, even Minister Zhang couldn't quell the commotion in the meeting room; all sorts of noises mingled together, creating complete chaos.

Minister Zhang took a deep breath, picked up his teacup, and prepared to use this method to try to keep everyone calm.

Just then, the conference room door was suddenly pushed open.

Captain Mao rushed into the conference room first, his face flushed from running so much.

Lu Bai followed closely behind, looking quite relaxed, not at all like someone who had just finished a long run.

He looked around and added with a chuckle, "Am I late?"

In an instant, the noisy conference room fell into a deathly silence. Everyone present, without exception, stared intently at Lu Bai, who had suddenly entered.

Clang~

Minister Zhang's teacup fell to the ground, splashing tea everywhere.

Immediately, Minister Zhang rushed to Lu Bai with a speed completely out of character for his age, and grabbed Lu Bai's arms with both hands.

He wanted to say something, but for a moment he was speechless and could only excitedly call out "Master Lu".

Lu Bai understood his agitation and asked, "Where is the most dangerous place?"

Having held a high position for many years, Minister Zhang quickly regained his composure after a brief moment of excitement.

He pondered for a moment, then solemnly said, "Master Lu, let's evacuate together."

Dozens of strange creatures attacked simultaneously, instantly escalating the situation to this point.

In his view, the situation was no longer one that Lu Bai could control on his own.

"Why? That's what Maoshan Daoism does." Lu Bai smiled.

"I know this may not be fair to you, but Master Lu, you are our only hope right now. I hope you can understand."

Minister Zheng's tone was heavy. Evacuation meant abandoning countless people in the containment center, which was no easy decision. "If your Maoshan Daoism cannot be passed down, at least preserve the possibility for humanity to fight against the supernatural."

Indeed, after witnessing Lu Bai's handling of the Plague Doctor, they had enough confidence in Lu Bai.

However, human strength has its limits, and they also witnessed Lu Bai's exhaustion and unconsciousness.

With so many strange creatures, even if you strike them one by one with lightning, it would take a very long time.

It is precisely because Lu Bai possesses the ability to handle the supernatural that Minister Zhang does not want Lu Bai to be easily sacrificed here.

Lu Bai gave a harmless smile, "The Maoshan Daoism are not something so inconvenient."

It is worth mentioning that,

As Lu Bai and Captain Mao entered the conference room, a mechanical prompting voice already echoed in Lu Bai's mind.

[Current points: 19, current ranking 1/100]

[Bite!]

The current elimination rate for deathmatchers has reached one-half.

[Note! The second Ability Pool is now open and you can select one.]

When Lu Bai was talking to Minister Zhang, he specifically set aside some of his attention to check his abilities in the second round.

[King Kai's Fist (Color): A technique created by King Kai, it's a method to temporarily multiply one's strength, speed, attack power, and defense. There's no upper limit to the multiplier, but it puts a strain on the body; the maximum multiplier depends on the user's physical tolerance.]

[Supreme Bone (Colored): A physical structure that grants special talents. It is a bone covered in runes, which will eventually bestow upon its owner a special magical technique. Once selected, the innate magical technique will be randomly generated.]

[Spirit Bomb (Color): Developed by King Kai of the North, it requires raising both hands to gather biological energy, condensing it into a giant blue-white energy ball. The mass of the energy ball is determined by the total amount of energy absorbed. Once it hits an opponent, the stronger their evil intentions, the greater the damage. If the target possesses a righteous heart, it will not cause them any harm.]

To be fair, all three color abilities in this round are actually quite strong.

If it were another type of deathmatch world, Lu Bai would probably only choose between the first two abilities.

The Spirit Bomb ability isn't guaranteed to work on Deathmatchers.

However, its effectiveness is obvious when used to deal with the supernatural.

Since he had acquired the [Save/Load] ability, the Deathmatchers could no longer pose a threat to Lu Bai. Without much hesitation, he decisively chose the [Spirit Bomb] ability in this round.

Bang!

The conference room door was pushed open again in a hurry.

Two fully armed soldiers in camouflage uniforms stormed into the conference room.

Before anyone could even ask a question, they burst into hysterical screams.

It was noticeable that black lines, resembling some kind of strange, thin snakes, quickly spread across the faces of the two soldiers.

Just looking at it is enough to send chills down your spine.

The chubby Lu Bai Service and Research Guarantee Bureau was so startled that he jumped up from his stool, decisively drew his sidearm, pointed it at the two soldiers, and shouted at the top of his lungs, "Watch out! Everyone, keep your distance!"
