After landing, the young man did not hesitate at all and immediately began to kill.

He raised his hand and unleashed a thunderous strike, a burst of energy exceeding a hundred tons, instantly turning a armed special agent into a bloody mist.

He then waved his hand, and the blood mist in the air was not wasted. Under the control of an invisible force, it condensed into a small ball and was absorbed into the young man's body.

Among the Security Personnel present, there were no skilled fighters, let alone ordinary civilians in the surrounding area.

This leads to a situation where even if young people are playing around, it's like a tiger entering a flock of sheep; no one can last a single round against them.

After creating nearly ten plumes of blood mist, the young man seemed to have grown tired of it, or perhaps he felt that this method was not efficient enough.

He stopped throwing a punch, lowered his hands, and briefly gathered his strength.

Upon closer inspection, one can see traces of blood on the ground beneath the young man's feet, as if the ground were seeping blood.

Having gathered his strength, the young man immediately opened his arms as if embracing, his body quickly softening and merging into the blood seeping from the ground.

The next second, under the watchful eyes of countless people, the once normal street suddenly turned into a Blood Pool.

Blood gushed from the ground as if it were free, wave after wave.

A torrent of dark red blood washed over everything on the street, even lifting parked vehicles. The surrounding civilians were powerless to resist and could only watch helplessly as they were engulfed by the raging torrent of blood.

"Requesting reinforcements! Requesting reinforcements!"

"No... Ah!!!"

"Grenades? Does anyone have any grenades?"

The entire special operations team was quickly wiped out.

Faced with a physical entity, they could at least try to fight back by firing their guns.

However, this Blood Pool was an opponent that could not be understood by common sense. Even emptying the magazine would only add more bullets to the torrent of blood.

It's about two blocks away from the area where the Blood Pool is located.

An SUV and a black sedan were driving one after the other on the road.

Although the entire Underground City is currently on military alert, the two off-road vehicles were not obstructed on the road and encountered no obstacles because they had changed to the black license plates that were unique to City Direct Military. They drove through all the green lights.

"Huh? What's going on over there?" Feng Yixuan glanced curiously in the direction of the Blood Pool.

Li Shan glanced at him and asked, "What's wrong?"

He knew that Feng Yixuan possessed an enhanced hearing ability, which was quite useful in gathering information.

Seeing that they had already put a distance of three or four hundred meters between themselves and the SUV in front, Feng Yixuan thought for a moment and said, "Never mind, it's okay. Let's go back to the city with the Captain and the others first. Anyway, these kinds of things happen everywhere, and I guess headquarters has already arranged for people to handle it."

Li Shan shrugged, offering no objection, mainly because he himself was unclear about the specifics.

The two cars traveled at high speed and made no obstacles along the way, quickly arriving at the City Hall.

A considerable number of people had already gathered in the square in front of the City Hall.

Almost all of them were survivors from nearby Livability City. In fact, at first, it was just some more shrewd people who felt that being close to the city hall would make them safer.

Humans have a natural tendency to follow the crowd; once someone notices what's happening here, they naturally gather around as well.

To be honest, with the City Hall located here, it is indeed much safer than other places.

However, after the vehicle was forced to stop, Lu Bai could see through the car window that the city council had already begun to evacuate the nearby residents.

After all, a large crowd would severely hinder the movement of government personnel, reduce the efficiency of disaster relief, not to mention a series of other potential hazards.

Therefore, we can only make do with the people who have gathered here.

In any case, faced with fully armed soldiers, ordinary people, even if they harbored resentment, dared not actually show it.

They didn't keep Lu Bai and the others waiting outside the crowd for long; soon, staff members came to guide them into the City Hall building.

Upon entering the building, a sense of urgency and busyness became even more apparent, with everyone rushing around.

"Speaker Xiao is currently in a meeting. He will come to see you all personally as soon as the meeting concludes. Please wait here for a moment."

The staff member in charge of guiding us opened the door to a lounge.

The lounge was quite luxuriously decorated, with even a pool table in the middle.

Lu Bai noticed that there were other people in the lounge, so it was clear that it wasn't reserved just for their group.

The others in the lounge were also watching them.

A bald man lying on the sofa greeted the Team Six Captain: "Brother Zhuang, over here! Oh? Principal Pu is here too. You're back to report on the situation, right?"

The upper echelons of Shelter No. 9 are a small circle, mostly consisting of acquaintances.

The Captain of the Team Six, naturally, didn't mince words. He walked into the lounge, glanced around, and said, "Looks like everyone just arrived."

Lu Bai didn't want to make his presence known in a place like this, so he simply found a seat and sat down, listening quietly to their idle chatter.

After eavesdropping for a while, Lu Bai realized the identities of the people present.

They were mostly either the Captain or vice-captains of City Direct Military, or the principals and heads of the campus's field operations department from the Deathmatch Campus.

They may have different positions, but they all have in common that they are all deathmatchers, and among the most formidable deathmatchers in the Underground City.

Of course, a considerable number of people were not all present, presumably because they still had important matters to attend to.

The importance of this group of people in the current situation is self-evident, and the city government cannot afford to overemphasize their importance.

"Still training Xiao Li and Xiao Feng in your team? If you ask me, you should let go when it's time to let go, otherwise how can you effectively train newcomers?"

The Baldy nodded to Li Shan and Feng Yixuan, speaking in a tone of someone who had been through it all.

Upon hearing this, the Team Six Captain's expression suddenly turned somewhat strange.

He hesitated for two seconds, then asked, "Old Jiang, haven't you contacted your deputy captain?"

The Baldy waved his hand. "He didn't have any merit, yet he was directly appointed as the vice-captain. Isn't he just someone the city council arranged to come to my team to gain experience? What's there to connect us about?"

The Team Six Captain glanced at Lu Bai, who was sitting in the corner, without changing his expression. "You haven't even met him, so it's not appropriate for you to make such a judgment, is it?"

Just then, the door to the lounge was suddenly pushed open, interrupting what the Baldy was about to say.

"Thank you all for your hard work."

Speaker Xiao spoke as he walked into the lounge.

The group followed him in single file, making the originally spacious lounge seem somewhat crowded.
