Proactive Assault

After all, to accommodate the population of a city of over a million, the shelter's area is quite enormous.

This meant that even with Lu Bai working tirelessly to deal with the strange occurrences, it was still not something he could completely eliminate in a short time.

Moreover, as he acted without any attempt to conceal himself, the surviving people along the way recognized him and naturally followed him instinctively.

There were quite a few people like this. Before Lu Bai had even finished clearing away the strange occurrences in Area A of the containment center, a large crowd had already gathered behind him.

Not to mention that with tens of thousands of people moving together in such a crowded environment, even the slightest disturbance could lead to a horrific stampede.

The sheer number of people following him would severely slow down Lu Bai's speed.

However, faced with the countless hopeful eyes of the people, Lu Bai still couldn't bear to tell them to disperse and fend for themselves.

Not to mention he's still streaming right now; if his image as Guardian God is ruined, it will definitely affect the efficiency of using the Spirit Bomb.

Of course, there are always gains and losses in everything.

With such a large crowd gathered, it looked to the eerie observer as if someone in the opposite lane had their high beams on.

Later on, Lu Bai didn't even need to rush to the next place where the strange creatures were rampant; after a short wait, the strange creatures would come to him on their own.

"Get out of the way!"

"Careful!"

"Ah!!!"

Lu Bai noticed the commotion in the crowd once again.

The group was so large that the distance between them was quite far, making it difficult to see what kind of strange creature it was in the darkness.

With practiced ease, Lu Bai shouted, "Get out of the way!"

The crowd around him obediently parted to both sides, making way for a two-person aisle.

The quick-witted guy even took the initiative to assist, repeatedly shouting things like "Make way!" so that Lu Bai could get over there as quickly as possible to handle the situation.

After acquiring the [Spirit Bomb] ability, Lu Bai no longer needed to confront the supernatural.

When he was still a hundred or two meters away from the scene of the riot, Lu Bai stopped and raised his hands to gather his Spirit Bomb.

In the blink of an eye, the familiar blue-white energy sphere reappeared above Lu Bai.

Just as he estimated that the energy had gathered enough and was preparing to smash it down on the location of the strange creature,

A bright light suddenly flashed in the distance, followed by a deafening roar.

Lu Bai instantly felt a chill run down his spine; his subconscious warning made him hold his breath for a moment.

Without even turning around to see what the light in the distance was, he activated [Flash Time] first, followed by [Bursting Qi].

Only after everything before him froze did he vaguely make out what kind of attack it was.

It was a dark gold object, resembling a missile.

This shape clearly indicates it's the type that could explode.

Lu Bai quickly realized that even if he doubled his speed, he still couldn't dodge it. He could only use [Alpha Strike] to gamble on avoiding the moment when the damage would be greatest.

The 0.5 seconds of the [Flash Time] is fleeting.

The dark gold missile flew straight towards us and then exploded instantly.

Boom!!!

The explosion engulfed everything in its flames, like a miniature nuclear blast, causing the earth to tremble.

Centered on Lu Bai's original location, people within the blast radius died instantly without even uttering a scream.

The explosion was followed by an extremely terrifying shockwave. Such power would be overwhelming not only for ordinary people, but even some supernatural beings would likely have to temporarily avoid its impact.

The moon was also blurred and unclear under the dust and smoke stirred up by the shockwave.

After the explosion, it felt as if the world had been silenced.

After a long silence, heart-wrenching cries gradually began to rise.

The dark gold missile came from a place where the ruins had already collapsed.

A man with a buzz cut bent over, his hands resting on his knees, spitting out grit from his mouth.

After he had vomited most of it, the crew-cut man turned to look at the twin-tailed girl who was slumped on the ground.

Why didn't you tell me beforehand that your ability would have such a large recoil?

[Hornet Thunder God Whip): Consumes all power to launch a missile that bombards the enemy, creating a massive explosion with an extremely wide range and immense power.]

The girl with pigtails waved weakly and said in a barely audible voice, "You... you wait for me... slowly..."

The man with thin-rimmed glasses lit a cigarette with trembling fingers, took a deep drag, and asked, "How was it? Got it?"

Before the girl with pigtails could reply, someone else gave the answer first.

No, 'the Smiling Face is still alive'.

Ruan Boyang walked to the edge of the ruins, followed by four death fighters with different expressions.

Faced with these uninvited guests, the trio on the ruins immediately became vigilant.

"The three of you don't need to be nervous."

Ruan Boyang shrugged and added, "We're on the same page; it's just that you made the first move."

Jiang Kang adjusted his glasses to calm his nerves, but he didn't let his guard down.

"You guys are also planning to take down 'Smiling Face'?"

"Now that we've entered the same Deathmatch Arena, it's only a matter of time before we take action against 'Smiling Face'."

"Then it seems we can cooperate for the time being." Jiang Kang revealed a formulaic smile.

Ultimately, for the deathmatch fighters, all they care about is killing Lu Bai and getting the points. As for how many people the strangeness of this world will kill?

Whether the natives in the Deathmatch Arena die, or how many die, is not even a concern for them.

After a brief discussion, the two groups reached a consensus.

Ruan Boyang suggested, "After such an explosion, even if 'Smiling Face' is still alive, she's probably not in much better shape. Shall we go and clean up the mess?"

Seeing how nonchalant the other party was, Jiang Kang naturally didn't want to appear weak.

He turned and exchanged glances with the crew-cut man and the girl with pigtails, then replied, "Let's go then. We can talk about how to cooperate as we walk."

"Where is the Guardian God?"

"Ah!!!"

"My legs! My legs are gone!"

"Where is the Guardian God?!"

"Wife! Wife, wake up, wife..."

The area after the explosion was littered with corpses and in complete disarray.

The constant wailing and lamentation made the already tragic scene even more desolate.

Indeed, the population density was too high beforehand, and such an explosion would have resulted in far more than ten thousand casualties.

As for Lu Bai, who was at the very center of the explosion, he only suffered minor injuries that did not affect his movement because [Bursting Qi] improved his physical abilities and he used [Alpha Strike] to accurately avoid the most damaging wave.

However, his clothes were inevitably tattered and torn, making him look quite disheveled.

He brushed the dust off his clothes, looked in the direction the attack was coming from, and his smile was so kind it was almost eerie.

"Instead of hiding, you're attacking me?"
