As netizens privately spread the word, the livestream’s popularity continued to rise.

Moreover, since Lv Bai and the others had already left the campus, there was no need to shut down the livestream.

Observer Chen received orders from higher-ups to continue filming, so he had no choice but to keep holding the camera.

The bombing zone was too far to see clearly, and anyway, there wasn’t any requirement for something like retention rate metrics, so he simply pointed the camera at Lv Bai.

Lv Bai didn’t seem to mind having a camera constantly aimed at him.

He got off the vehicle and immediately asked what he was more concerned about.

"When does the citywide evacuation start?"

...

Three hours later.

At this moment, the entire city was brightly lit.

Looking out, all roads were jam-packed with vehicles and pedestrians.

At every intersection, police cars or armored vehicles could be seen parked by the roadside.

Police officers and action department personnel holding signal sticks were maintaining order by the roadside.

Though it wasn’t as tightly packed as needing guards every three steps and sentries every five, you could easily find official personnel for help at any time.

Especially on the main roads leading out of the city, vehicles were piled up in long lines.

Lv Bai sat cross-legged atop an armored vehicle, his ears filled with noise from walkie-talkies and loudspeakers.

"Please show your driver’s license."

"Don’t crowd! Evacuate in an orderly fashion."

"Cars ahead, speed up."

"Citizens without vehicles, please queue here to board, don’t panic, and stay calm."

Each armored vehicle was equipped with heavy weapons that brought a strong sense of security, not to prevent troublemakers.

After all, since the strange occurrences began, these evacuation drills have become routine.

The "Guidelines for Emergency Management of Strange Disasters" jointly developed by the action and other departments were in almost everyone’s hands, preventing any major disorder even during mass midnight evacuations.

These heavy weapons were purely to guard against other strange beings.

The high density of people gathering at night indeed made them more likely to attract the strange.

However, Lv Bai’s focus wasn’t on these evacuation efforts.

He continuously surveyed his surroundings, trying to spot Death Fighters mingling in the crowd.

Initially, he pondered what method would be faster to locate the Death Fighters.

But he soon realized that this citywide evacuation itself was the best way to trace the Death Fighters.

It seemed inappropriate, but he felt he should thank that abomination.

You see, each Death Fighter had a conspicuous title above their head.

Unless they were patiently hiding in the city, avoiding the mass transfer with the main group.

Otherwise, during such mass transfers, they had no means of hiding, making it easy to spot Death Fighters hiding in the crowd from afar.

Of course, many Death Fighters chose to continue hiding.

But more of them decided to go with the flow and join the transfer.

After all, many Death Fighters believed Lv Bai wouldn’t engage in a massacre in front of so many people; exposing themselves didn’t worry them much.

During the collective evacuation, Lv Bai had already seen dozens of Death Fighters.

And indeed, he didn’t act then and there but allowed points to pass by in front of him.

Of course, he wasn’t entirely passive.

He silently memorized the identities of these Death Fighters for future tracking.

Meanwhile, he selectively assessed various Golden Level abilities.

[Chasing Wind (Gold): Consumes a certain amount of stamina to perform a rapid sprint ten times the normal speed. The further the sprint, the greater the user’s stamina cost.]

[Alpha Strike (Gold): Consumes a certain amount of stamina, allowing the user to traverse the battlefield at an imperceptible speed, accumulating four attacks during this period, untargetable while active, with a cooldown of thirty seconds.]

[Inner Hundred Eight Techniques: Eight Wine Cups (Gold): Accumulates cold flames in the palm, releasing outward, causing damage to the nerves and surface of those hit through the cold flame’s own power.]

[Portable Armory (Gold): Grants access to an armory stored in Different Space-Time, consumes a certain amount of stamina for use, retrieving a random weapon from the armory each time.]

[Let’s Get Married (Gold): Used on the opposite sex, the target will marry the user on the spot, but this ability does not affect the couple’s autonomy.]

...

Lv Bai read over a dozen abilities.

Unfortunately, he hadn’t found any exceptionally powerful abilities yet.

There’s no helping it; Golden Level abilities only have this level of effect.

Luckily, Lv Bai wasn’t too eager and decided to keep abilities with potentially unique effects for now.

Abilities clearly ineffective against the strange were discarded on the spot.

After careful selection and adjustment for a while.

The three abilities currently in the temporary slot were adjusted to [Bursting Qi (Gold)], [Alpha Strike (Gold)], and [Let’s Get Married (Gold)].

Worth mentioning.

The Load process doesn’t have any particular effect on Death Fighters.

By being slightly careless, they might not realize their ability has failed until they need to use it.

However, Lv Bai had already read the abilities of over twenty or thirty Death Fighters.

With such a number of samples, some Death Fighters would eventually notice.

Ensuring this, a girl in the crowd with a butterfly hairpin on her head raised her hand incredulously, waving twice before her expression drastically changed.

The selected ability would be stripped away.

This was unheard of.

Even if they wanted to find the culprit, they wouldn’t know who to look for.

Moreover, if the first-round ability, their only ability, failed, Death Fighters essentially became no different from ordinary people.

Beside the girl with the butterfly hairpin was a refined man in a tailored suit, who seemed to notice his companion’s unusual behavior.

Taking advantage of the delay in boarding, he turned slightly and asked in a low voice, "What’s wrong?"

The girl with the butterfly hairpin forced herself to calm down, squeezing out a smile: "Yapi, what was your ability again? I forgot."

"Portable Armory, didn’t I tell you? When did your memory get so bad?"

The man in the suit called Yapi reached into his pocket, intending to test his luck by randomly pulling out a tank or something.

The imagined weapon did not appear, and his face darkened.

Seeing this, the girl with the butterfly hairpin no longer disguised her panic: "Could you be the same?"

Yapi subtly nodded, intentionally or not turning his gaze toward Lv Bai’s location.

"Could it be ’Innocent Smile’ doing this?"

Yapi took a deep breath, nodding his chin toward a nearby office worker: "Come on, there’s a ’Swift Horse’ over there, let’s ask him."
