My ability pool is superior to others

You can tell from the name Vault Nine.

If there is number nine, then there will be number eight, number seven, and even more.

In fact, Lü Bai had learned about this information a long time ago.

The order of the shelters is actually based on their size.

Of course, Vault 9 is large enough in itself, and the other vaults, even if they are larger, are all in the same category.

The combined population of these top ten mega-shelters could reach two billion.

These ten shelters are essentially the last vestiges of human civilization.

Later on, the number of shelters in the two-digit or even three-digit range became very small, not even enough to be considered a source of fire, and it was even unknown whether anyone was still alive inside.

Therefore, although the City Council notified all shelters, it only cared about the responses from the top ten shelters.

The basic radio is very easy to operate; no professional is needed to use it, and Xiao Zhengyan can use it himself.

After sending the notification, he turned to look at the permanent members of parliament present.

Everyone sat quietly in their respective seats, all looking preoccupied.

He knew these congressmen were mentally preparing themselves.

Unfortunately, even though they had prepared for this day after becoming members of the City Council, it wasn't so easy for them to face it calmly when it actually came.

"According to the Huacheng Treaty prior to the official commencement of the Shelter Project, all shelters must set aside their differences and work together for the future of humanity when they receive the signal to return to the surface..."

Councilor Shen read on with a worried tone.

He knew that the treaty must have had the support of all the high-ranking members of humanity at the time, and it was their consensus.

The problem is that hundreds of years have passed since the treaty was signed, and on a long-term scale spanning dozens of generations, how many refugees will still be willing to respond? This is something worth considering.

Xiao Zhengyan deliberately put on a relaxed smile in front of everyone: "We probably won't receive a reply in a short time, everyone, let's prepare for the meeting in a bit."

……

The ecological environment on the Earth's surface continues to deteriorate.

The howling wind intensified, and large amounts of vegetation could be seen flying violently through the air.

If an ordinary person were standing in an open area without any shelter right now, it would be no exaggeration to say that it would be extremely difficult to move around.

Lu Bai's clothes fluttered loudly in the strong wind, but his body remained steadily suspended in mid-air.

"Disable".

Blood River Ancestor once again activated system privileges against Lü Bai.

There was nothing he could do; the Deathmatch system was completely unresponsive, as if it were dead.

Realizing that ordinary abilities were no match for Lü Bai, this powerful demonic cultivator could only continue trying to restrict Lü Bai's access to his abilities.

Unfortunately, Lü Bai only found the disabled marker in the "discard pile," restored it, and thus broke the blockade from the system's permissions.

The "discard pile" provided by this ability is actually more accurately described as a recycle bin.

It's just that previously, this only contained various abilities he had used, which led Lü Bai to misunderstand the true purpose of the [Restore] ability.

Noticing that the "disable" had failed again, the Blood River Ancestor was not surprised and instead shouted in his heart.

"Can't you see the current situation? You must give me more Heavenly Dao authority before I can help you fix this system error! I'm trying to help you, what are you waiting for?!"

No matter how turbulent his inner emotions were, the Blood River Ancestor maintained his composure on the surface.

But what he didn't know was that Lü Bai didn't care at all what he wanted to do. "You've tried many times, it's useless. Lifting this blockade doesn't cost me anything."

The progress bar for "Loading Save" is already 90% complete. Give Lü Bai a little more time, and he will be able to acquire a new black-level ability.

In this situation, he showed no aggression whatsoever, for fear of scaring the Blood River Ancestor into running away on the spot.

Lu Bai wore an innocent smile: "Besides, do you really need to help the Deathmatch System to deal with me?"

These words seemed to have provoked the deathmatch system.

Lu Bai immediately saw that black light spots once again appeared above the head of the Blood River Ancestor.

Moreover, this time, there were not just one, but three black dots representing abilities.

Including the previous "disabled" setting, this means that the Deathmatch system has granted Blood River Ancestor a total of four system permissions.

This is actually quite outrageous.

In reality, Lü Bai only possesses two black-level abilities.

Even Lü Bai couldn't help but frown upon seeing this scene.

He silently became more vigilant, fearing that a slight mishap might really lead to a disaster.

After all, he knew very well how domineering the effects of black-level abilities were.

It's troublesome enough to have just one system permission, let alone gaining access to three different system permissions at once.

The Blood River Ancestor has acquired three new black-level abilities, along with an instruction manual provided by the Deathmatch System.

Having learned the functions of these different system permissions, he finally felt confident of victory.

"Lord Lü, you are indeed very powerful. I suppose you possess more than one kind of Heavenly Dao authority?"

Blood River Ancestor decisively used his newly acquired black-level ability. He extended his index finger and pointed it at Lü Bai: "Let me see."

For a moment, Lü Bai felt as if he had been completely seen through, which made him very uncomfortable.

"You do indeed possess two kinds of Heavenly Dao authority."

The Blood River Ancestor sighed with a hint of regret: "What a pity, I am the one favored by the Heavenly Dao."

Before he could finish speaking, Lü Bai suddenly felt as if a huge mountain had appeared behind him, pressing him down and causing him to fall into the torrent below.

In fact, Blood River Ancestor used two different system permissions to achieve this.

[Read], [Compile].

The former is similar to a comprehensive investigation, which can clearly see everything related to the Deathmatch system, including the various levels of abilities that Lu Bai possesses.

Even when used alone, this system permission is highly functional.

However, when combined with [writing], the effect will be even more powerful.

He didn't specifically target any specific enemies; he simply added the side effect of increased weight to Lü Bai's [Iron Body], which was enough to make it difficult for Lü Bai to move.

The Blood River Ancestor could still use tens of thousands of abilities, so Lu Bai dared not replace the [Iron Body].

Under the influence of its immense weight, Lü Bai lay at the bottom of the torrent, struggling even to lift a finger.

Fortunately, the system's permissions all follow a certain logic; otherwise, if he had rewritten the ability content so that it would result in death upon use, Lü Bai wouldn't even have had a chance to catch his breath.

"Finally finished reading."

Lu Bai looked at the [Disable] ability lying quietly in his ability bar and used it on the Blood River Ancestor without hesitation. (End of Chapter)
