My ability pool is superior to others

"Pooh!"

Vice President Zheng spat out a mouthful of sand, lifted the broken billboard that was covering him, and stood up with difficulty.

He looked around and noticed that the members of the organization, including the special agents who were escorting them, were all in a sorry state.

One member even had his leg broken by a falling object and was screaming in agony.

Vice President Zheng's gaze quickly settled on Lü Bai.

Compared to the disheveled crowd, Lü Bai looked like an outsider, as his clothes were not even dirty.

Lu Bai stared in the direction of the explosion, his gaze seemingly piercing through the building blocking his view: "That's..."

“It’s a heavy element reactor,” Pu Xueli added, his face grim.

Lu Bai had once thwarted an attack on a heavy element reactor, so he naturally knew that what Pu Xueli said was true.

It must be said that the heavy element reactor provides more than 70% of the energy needed by the dungeon, which is the foundation of the dungeon's existence and the lifeline for its survival.

It's no exaggeration to say that there would be no dungeons without heavy element reactors.

Admittedly, with various backup measures, it is not impossible to continue maintaining the dungeon.

However, without the heavy element reactor, Vault 9 would definitely not be able to support so many people now.

As for the casualties caused by the explosion of the heavy element reactor?
In the current situation, none of that seems so important.

Li Shan rushed over, covered in dust and dirt, grabbed Vice President Zheng by the collar, and growled in a low voice, somewhat out of control, "What on earth happened!"

Vice President Zheng has lost all his abilities and is now just an ordinary person, struggling to breathe as Li Shan violently drags him along.

However, he managed to regain his composure and said with difficulty, "I never expected him to succeed."

"Who is it?" Li Shan blurted out without thinking.

Upon hearing this, Lü Bai realized what was going on.

I should have thought of this a long time ago.

In the company's organizational structure, besides the directors and the president, there are two vice presidents.

After dealing with the president, Lü Bai had already forgotten about the vice president, whom he had never met before.

I never expected that the vice president could cause such a big commotion.

The repercussions of the damaged heavy element reactor have not yet ceased.

As time went on, the power supply to the holographic dome was cut off.

Since everyone is used to the days when the sky is simulated by a holographic dome, when it is turned off, people are still in a daze as if it is just a night when the stars cannot be seen.

As for the densely packed livable buildings, they are even divided into livable cities, with one area after another falling into darkness.

In the face of such an event that threatens the continuation of the shelter, all backup energy will be prioritized for supply to functional departments at all levels.

If someone were to come up to the airspace above the shelter at this time, they would see that in the vast area, only a few scattered buildings were still emitting lights.

Other tiny lights in the darkness are nothing more than personal devices such as cell phones and flashlights.

Whether they were special agents or city guards, anyone with an official background received a Level 1 alert from the city council.

This is the highest level of alert, and it's the first time the city council has issued such an alert since the beginning of the dungeon era.

The primary goals are to maintain stability and ensure the continuation of humanity; if necessary, the shelters can even be abandoned.

As it turned out, even though the city council had prepared contingency plans for problems with the heavy element reactor, the situation was still not easy to control.

Security personnel, including ground armed forces, were all deployed to maintain stability.

Armored vehicles equipped with additional lighting moved along the road in an orderly fashion, like diligent worker ants, with red and blue lights and warning bells constantly urging the public to remain calm.

Regrettably, with little success.

The public internet has long been shut down. While this move has curbed the widespread spread of rumors, it has actually exacerbated public panic.

Especially in such a dark environment, everyone was filled with doubt and uncertainty.

The vast majority of honest people are now in a state of anxious waiting.

However, some unscrupulous individuals treat this as a pre-apocalyptic celebration, thinking they should have some fun before they die, and become reckless and irresponsible, not bothering to consider the consequences.

The proportion of such people is not high, but given a population of hundreds of millions, there are still thousands of rioters who harbor such thoughts and put them into action.

Once the primal instincts hidden within human nature are unleashed, they will spread like a plague, causing immeasurable damage.

The city council has this in mind, which is why it has fully mobilized its violent machinery to maintain basic stability.

Unfortunately, achieving even one of these things is quite difficult.

Don't forget the terrifying explosion at the heavy element reactor before; the affected area was extremely exaggerated, almost encompassing the entire underground city, the only difference being the degree of damage.

This means that a significant portion of the population needs assistance.

Whether they are injured or trapped in buildings and need rescue, it is simply impossible to get these people and their families to remain calm and wait patiently.

The combination of various factors has led to the chaos within the entire underground city escalating at a visible rate.

"What do we do now? Should we go back to the city hall?"

Feng Yixuan had to ask loudly, otherwise she wouldn't be able to hear at all.

The captain of the sixth squadron remained relatively calm. He raised his hand to signal Feng Yixuan and everyone present to calm down, while trying to contact the chief of the city's military headquarters and any other superiors he could reach.

Pu Xueli did the same, but he was contacting his old friends.

In such a disaster, there is no difference between officials, ordinary people, and those who fight to the death; everyone is trying to find their own pillar of support.

Instead, Li Shan did not do that. He put down Vice President Zheng somewhat dejectedly, and after a moment of blankness, his gaze gradually moved to Lü Bai.

He was like a drowning person seeing the only straw, or the only hope.

Li Shan made no attempt to hide the hope in her eyes as she stared intently at Lü Bai: "Do you have a way? You can even take away my last ability."

The heavy element reactor has exploded; the only way to restore it would probably be to reverse time.

Unfortunately, even if Lü Bai searched through his entire "discard pile," he still couldn't come up with a set of abilities capable of doing this.

He could only shrug and say, "What can I do?"

Upon hearing this reply, the light in Li Shan's eyes dimmed completely.

"But illuminating the entire underground city is quite simple."

Lu Bai suddenly said, then snapped his fingers: "Let there be light." (End of Chapter)
