In fact, although Shelter No. 9 is a city built underground, it is also an extremely modern mega-city.

Even for ease of management, the buildings are not connected by elevators to create a three-dimensional road like an overpass.

Each of these Livability Building is a giant skyscraper, capable of meeting a range of needs including residential, commercial, and even industrial use.

In addition, the suffocatingly close spacing between the Livability Building means that if someone is hiding in one of Livability Building, finding them is still not easy, even if their location is known.

The Baldy is now in such a predicament.

He had indeed determined the direction of the attack by the orientation of his wound, but he had no way of confirming the attacker's exact location, so he couldn't retaliate.

Are you looking for me?

The sound of Black Sniper came through the phone again, filled with a smug and arrogant tone.

Pfft~

Suddenly, another hole, more than ten centimeters in diameter, appeared on the Baldy's body, splattering out a large amount of blood once again.

The Baldy groaned and uncontrollably knelt on one knee, unable to maintain his standing posture.

"Captain!"

Seeing her Captain being attacked one after another, Sun Wei couldn't help but cry out in alarm. In her haste, she immediately rushed towards the Baldy.

The other party's actions were quite obvious; they were playing a cat-and-mouse game.

The Baldy, still retaining his senses, quickly shouted, "Don't come any closer!"

The other two team members present immediately stepped forward to protect Sun Wei and dragged her back.

The Baldy's heart sank lower and lower; he could feel his vision blurring due to the severity of his injuries.

He realized he couldn't just sit and wait to die. If he didn't find a way to fight back, he would die from blood loss even if the enemy stopped attacking from now on.

If you can't find a target, even the most capable person is useless.

Thinking this, he held the phone flat to his mouth and said in as calm a tone as possible, "The city's reinforcements are on their way. You may think you've hidden yourself well, but let me tell you, you've already revealed your approximate location. You can't escape now."

"Are you trying to provoke me into showing myself?"

The voice coming from the phone remained calm.

The Baldy seemed to have accidentally touched his wound, wincing in pain. After a couple of seconds, he continued, "You didn't show yourself either, did you? Heh, scared, huh?"

To the Baldy's surprise, the Vice President, nicknamed "Black Sniper," actually admitted it without hesitation.

"I did hide because I was scared, but not because I was afraid of you. My Lord problem was that I still didn't understand what was going on with the guy who came with you..."

The voice coming from the phone suddenly fell into a deathly silence halfway through the conversation. The Baldy turned the phone volume up to the maximum before he could barely hear a faint breathing sound.

The Baldy finally realized what he had overlooked. He turned his head sharply in Sun Wei's direction, and his mouth gaped open so wide that a light bulb could have been stuffed inside.

"Where are they? When did they arrive?!"

It turns out that, without anyone noticing, Lu Bai had quietly disappeared. He should have been standing with Sun Wei...

The room is located on the middle of the 28th floor of the Livability Building, about three kilometers away from where the Baldy is.

"Is it you?"

Lu Bai leaned lazily against the doorframe, smiling as he asked, "Vice President?"

Besides him, there was only one other person in the room.

Dark circles under his eyes that even his high-prescription glasses couldn't hide; a few strands of hair, damp with sweat, clung to his forehead, where pimples had appeared due to hormonal imbalance.

The overall impression is that of an ordinary student who stays up late and gets up early to study desperately just to keep up with the learning progress. They don't stand out, cause trouble, or actively participate in any school activities, and will never leave a deep impression on the teachers.

If Lu Bai hadn't been able to see the five colorful dots on the other person's head, he probably wouldn't have given them a second glance, even if he encountered them in real life.

How did you find me?

Now that Lu Bai has already found this place, there's no point in hiding it anymore.

Black Sniper simply put down his phone and openly admitted his identity.

"How did you find it?"

Lu Bai smiled kindly, "Just consider it luck."

After all, even the Baldy could determine the approximate location by the direction of the wound, so Lu Bai could naturally do the same.

For him, who possesses the ability to "load saves," as long as he knows the general location, confirming the other party's identity is not difficult.

"I'm a little curious, why are you only the Vice President?"

Lu Bai glanced at the Vice President's ability information and added, "You're clearly stronger than the president."

Black Sniper adjusted his scope. "I'm not sure how you came to that conclusion, but you're right."

Can you explain this?

"An organization like the Can Society has no future. The reason the City Association doesn't completely eradicate it is simply because the price paid is disproportionate to the gains. Only a brainless person would want to be the president of such an organization."

Lu Bai nodded thoughtfully.

Based on his interactions with the three presidents of Ke Yi She (the Can Society), he felt that the two Vice President were just like lyb (a derogatory term for someone who is easily manipulated), while the president was the easiest to deal with.

"And you?"

"I was simply dissatisfied with this order, Can Society did were similar to what I wanted to do in terms of details, so I joined. It's that simple."

"Indeed, I also think this social order needs to be changed," Lu Bai echoed.

Let's end this small talk here.

Black Sniper showed no sign of intimacy despite Lu Bai's approval. He slightly bent down, poised to strike. "Thank you for giving me time to complete the setup."

However, before he could actually move...

Lu Bai suddenly reached out and grabbed a handful in front of him, revealing a deep blue silk thread. "A tripping thread?"

Seeing this, Black Sniper was shocked and could no longer remain calm. "How did you manage to touch my tripwire?"

"Your tripping line?"

Lu Bai tilted his head, slightly surprised, and asked, "Haven't you noticed yet? This is already mine."

"?!"

Upon hearing this, Black Sniper was taken aback, then his face showed fear.

However, the fact that he was able to gain five abilities from the Deathmatch Arena means that he had reached the pinnacle in all five Deathmatch Showdown.

Such a person will never completely lose their rationality, no matter what situation they encounter.

He quickly regained control of his emotions and naturally returned to the casual conversation he had been in earlier.

"You said you're also dissatisfied with this social order, what do you plan to do?"
