My ability pool is superior to others

Having just escaped death, the old man in military uniform watched as his subordinates on either side of him gradually yielded, and he dared not continue to resist.

He suspected that if he continued to be stubborn, Lü Bai would definitely not hesitate to shut him up completely.

Upon realizing this, the elderly man in military uniform quickly said, "I agree as well."

The highest-ranking leaders in the forward base bowed their heads, and the remaining senior commanders and staff officers had no reason to insist, all expressing their willingness to follow Lü Bai's command.

Pu Xueli, who was standing in the aisle, didn't say much at this moment. He just looked at Lü Bai with a complicated expression, as if he had just met him.

Lu Bai had also noticed Pu Xueli standing in the staff group, but he glanced at him and then looked away.

Since he has decided to become a de facto dictator of humanity, it doesn't matter to him what the other party's status or relationship is.

It is worth mentioning that, compared to the City Council's somewhat reluctant attitude, the resistance fighters and ordinary people in the forward base were more willing to follow Lu Bai's orders.

On the one hand, Lü Bai did indeed demonstrate unparalleled strength; on the other hand, these people who were relocated to the ground were already at the bottom of society, so any change was a good thing for them, and even if it was bad, it couldn't be too bad.

As for whether life under Lü Bai's rule would be worse than under Cheng Hui's rule?
Anyway, we've already had experience once. At worst, we can just raise the flag and start another rebellion. The worst that can happen is death.

The vast majority of the resistance fighters and ordinary people shared this simple-minded idea, and basically stayed where they were, waiting for Lü Bai's further arrangements.

Of course, another reason why the situation was able to stabilize so easily is that this so-called resistance army has not been around for long enough and does not actually have any resistance program.

In a sense, it's no different from having an idea genius in a tavern; they haven't even considered what to do after overthrowing the city council.

Ultimately, it's just that someone comes out and gives a captivating opening speech, then criticizes current affairs, people's hardships, the future path, and so on, and then asks, "Should we continue like this?"... and that's how a team is formed.

Under such circumstances, these ordinary people naturally would not harbor any hostility towards Lü Bai.

"very good."

Lu Bai looked around and added, "Then let's start changing the world from now on."

……

The night is still long.

People continued to line up and walk out of the civil defense project's several exits.

The road to the forward base was brightly lit, with armed forces and armored vehicles maintaining order on both sides of the road, and every now and then you could see grassroots staff using megaphones to direct the crowd.

"Don't crowd. Follow the lights. Hey bald guy, don't stop. Hurry up."

After making his announcement, the staff member put down the megaphone and muttered worriedly, "Why is everything still the same...?"

The staff member standing next to him kindly reminded him, "Don't sleep too soundly tonight, I feel like the big one hasn't come yet."

After Lü Bai seized control of the forward base by force, he did not make any adjustments to the original work of returning to the ground. He only adjusted the treatment of ordinary people, and the job duties of many personnel remained unchanged.

Thanks to this, the operation of the entire forward base did not fall into chaos, and the transfer of top-level power was completed smoothly.

The former branch of the General Management Committee stationed at the Qianjin Base, now in a newly rebuilt office building.

Under normal circumstances, the forward bases on the ground report to the city council every ten minutes.

However, now that even the forward base has been renamed Lü, reporting work has naturally stopped.

"The city council has sent another inquiry."

The elderly man in military uniform with gray hair walked up to Lü Bai, and asked with some slight unease, "How do we get back here?"

Lu Bai calmly reviewed the documents on the table, without even looking up: "Report truthfully, and also ask about the city council's choice." "This..."

The elderly man in military uniform was speechless for a moment, but finally nodded silently in agreement.

For Lü Bai, the city council's ideas were actually not important.

He can simply take some time to demonstrate his power; he need not fear that the city council members will not bow down, and even if they have ulterior motives, they will not dare to openly oppose him.

The elderly man in military uniform composed himself and said, "Mr. Lü, there's one more thing."

"explain."

"According to your planned allocation scheme, the base's current material reserves are far from sufficient, and there will be a shortage of materials before dark tomorrow."

The original plan was to provide each person returning to the ground with enough food and water to last for seven days.

This standard of maintaining for seven days is the minimum; basically, you have to eat very sparingly to barely survive for seven days.

It cannot be said that the city council is stingy.

After all, there are just too many people. Even if we only give each person a bottle of water, we would have to mobilize the reserves of several large warehouses to distribute it.

Lü Bai also increased the share for each citizen, ensuring that everyone could eat and drink their fill.

Based on this, the supplies currently stored at the forward base probably wouldn't even last a day.

Hearing the report from the old man in military uniform, Lü Bai, after reviewing the information about the supplies, finally looked up.

The old man in military uniform seemed to be giving the order a ridiculous order, but he didn't take it seriously.

"no need to worry."

Lu Bai reactivated the [Flow Network] to ensure that the entire forward base, including the surrounding residents, could see what was happening here.

His next move could boost public confidence to some extent.

He pointed to an empty corner of the room with his index finger.

“As long as you obey the law, your daily food will be provided to you every day.”

The next second, several pieces of fresh meat appeared out of nowhere in the corner, each weighing about a hundred pounds.

Before the old man in military uniform could recover from his dazed state, Lü Bai added, "As for drinking water, opening up a few large rivers should be enough."

"Creating something out of thin air".

The old man in military uniform murmured.

He had encountered similar abilities in deathmatch battles before, but the ability to create food was too useless for deathmatch battles, and it didn't even provide much assistance. Few deathmatch fighters would choose such an ability.

"Alright, next, it's time to deal with those who broke the law during this period."

Lu Bai reached out and handed the newly drafted list to the old man in military uniform.

Since the ability is called a network, it is naturally a two-way interconnection. In addition to acting as a live camera, it can also obtain information about what the target is experiencing.

This effect, when applied to supervision, is exceptionally effective, ensuring that no lawbreaker is wrongly accused or overlooked. (End of Chapter)
