My ability pool is superior to others

Eating is obviously the most important thing to survive in a desolate and empty world.

From what Lu Bai has observed so far, there are no medium or large animals, and the output of the entire city and its surrounding areas can only support one or two hundred people at most.

How is it possible to feed thousands of people?
There is no sign of any food being grown. Is it because climate change has made it impossible to grow food in the pre-refuge era? Or is there some other reason?
Lu Bai suppressed these doubts in his heart and silently followed Huo Yao to the door of an office.

It can be seen that the Big Biao brother mentioned by these people has a very high status in this settlement, and there are two strong men in vests guarding the door.

Huo Yao greeted the guard at the door familiarly, and then explained the purpose of his visit.

"Then Huoyao, take this kid with you for a while. I'll go report to Brother Da Biao."

One of the sturdy men looked at Lu Bai with a scrutinizing gaze, then turned around, pushed open the office door and walked in.

After a while, the sturdy man came out of the office, pointed at Lu Bai and said, "Come with me, Huo Yao, just do what you should do."

Under the guidance of the burly man, Lu Bai followed him into the office and finally met the Brother Da Biao they mentioned.

Just hearing this title, you will probably subconsciously think of a burly, tattooed gangster boss.

But in fact, this so-called Big Brother Biao is actually a middle-aged man with a rather thin figure.

He was neatly dressed and wore a pair of black-framed glasses that gave him a scholarly air. He did not look aggressive at all.

Anyone who sees this will think that this is an intellectual.

"A Zang, you go down first, don't worry about me."

Brother Da Biao waved at the sturdy man.

A Zang hesitated for a moment, but still did not disobey Brother Da Biao's order. He left the office obediently and closed the door.

Brother Da Biao then smiled and looked at Lu Bai, and gestured with his hand: "A Zang has told me everything about you, sit down and talk."

Lu Bai didn't hesitate and sat down on the chair opposite the desk naturally, as if he was at home.

Brother Da Biao looked at Lu Bai, a hint of nostalgia flashed in his eyes, and the first thing he said was shocking.

"I'm from Shelter 76. Before I left the shelter, I was a member of the Ke Ke Society. If you came out of the shelter, you should know what that organization is."

Lu Bai nodded without saying anything more.

Not being able to tell anything from Lu Bai's expression, Da Biao continued, "Are you surprised? Why is the situation on the ground completely different from what was recorded in the shelter?"

"That's right. The so-called Ice Age and the so-called underground shelter plan are all outright lies."

At this point, Brother Da Biao's tone became obviously more excited: "It was just for his own selfish desires that he betrayed the entire human race..."

Brother Da Biao's voice was so low that it was almost inaudible, but Lu Bai did not ask any further questions.

The contents recorded in the underground shelter, combined with what he saw and heard after coming to the surface, are all very intriguing.

It feels as if those who support the underground shelter plan are lying.

But if it is a lie, there are many problems with it.

Not to mention, such a huge lie involving nearly 10 billion people cannot be accomplished so easily.

Don’t forget that due to resources and construction time constraints, at least half of the people at that time were not eligible to enter the shelter.

From the perspective of the shelter, those billions of people had to sacrifice for the continuation of humanity.
If the Ice Age really came, then these billions of people would indeed have no way to survive. But if the Ice Age was just a lie, then these billions of people scattered around the world would not in any way allow the development of civilization to be interrupted.

Not to mention the current situation where the number of humans is so small that they have to give up their living space to plants. Da Biao could see Lu Bai's doubts, but he didn't continue to talk about these things as if to deliberately whet his appetite. Instead, he started another topic in a more relaxed tone: "I think you should be very curious, how do so many people in Linxi settlement survive?"

Lu Bai was a little unhappy with the riddle man's behavior.

When people are unhappy, their behavior becomes rough.

He placed his hands on the desk and leaned forward: "You mean the Lord gave you food?"

Although the other person still had a harmless smile on his face, Brother Da Biao inexplicably felt an indescribable sense of oppression, as if a creature at the bottom of the food chain was facing its natural enemy, and his whole body tensed up uncontrollably.

Da Biao swallowed subconsciously and raised his hands in front of him: "Friend, let's sit down and talk slowly."

Lu Bai shook his head and said softly: "From now on, I ask questions and you answer them."

"My friend, I seem to be easy to talk to, and I am giving you face, but you are being a little too rude."

After all, he is the leader of a community with thousands of people. He just feels that Lu Bai is not a simple person and doesn't want to cause trouble. It doesn't mean that he is really afraid of Lu Bai.

Faced with such threatening words, Da Biao's expression turned cold, and he shouted towards the office door: "A Zang! Come in."

Before he finished speaking, the office door was pushed open and two burly men walked into the office aggressively.

"Brother Da Biao, you called me?"

"Brother Da Biao, is this kid dishonest?"

Seeing the two younger brothers coming in, Brother Da Biao said coldly: "Since you can't talk properly, let's talk in a way that you can understand."

Lu Bai didn't even turn his head, and the smile on his face became brighter.

"What a coincidence. I also know a little bit of martial arts."

……

Brother Da Biao’s office.

Two burly younger brothers were kneeling on the ground with bruised faces and noses, while Big Brother Biao was slumped beside them with a dazed look on his face.

Lu Bai sat cross-legged on the desk, tapping the table with his fingertips from time to time.

"You mean to say that before the era of the Sanctuary, the human leaders had already reached a deal with this so-called Lord, choosing to give up the surface of the earth and half of the population to ensure the continuation of human civilization?"

Brother Da Biao nodded woodenly.

"Why? If the Lord has such power, why would He still need to trade with the higher-ups of humanity? There's no need to tolerate so many people living underground, right?"

"I really don't know about this kind of secret, brother." After saying this, Brother Da Biao shrank his neck out of habit, fearing that Lu Bai would slap him again.

"Okay, then I'll go ask him in person."

Lu Bai stretched and asked casually, "You are working for the so-called Lord, right? When will the Lord come?"

Brother Da Biao adjusted his glasses and said carefully, "On the first of every month, the Lord will summon the leaders of several settlements near us."

Lu Bai looked at the calendar hanging in the office and laughed.

"Isn't that tomorrow?" (End of this chapter)
