I became Superman

What an enviable guy.

Looking at Ming Lou's solemn and serious expression, Zhou Ming felt a strange sense of envy.

This guy is convinced that he is the guardian of humanity, representing humanity in the face of the greatest crisis in history.

This crisis brought him unspeakable pressure, but it also ignited his life, enabling him to unleash tremendous passion.

He's different; it's very difficult for him to feel any pressure.

If those beings known as the Ancient Gods appear tomorrow, they might put some pressure on him. But if they are delayed for a few days, it will be difficult for him to even feel any difficulty.

However, at least it was something worth doing, so Zhou Ming was quite happy about it, finally having something to do.

Zhou Ming asked, "By the way, are vampire gods considered ancient gods?"

Minglou shook his head and said, "We don't know much about that god Cain either."

"All we know is that even in the beginning, the ancient gods were not very clear about his origins, and he rarely participated in the battles among the ancient gods. His figure can often be seen in the history of Earth, which shows that he did not fall into slumber like other ancient gods."

"But we don't know his exact location. A few years ago, some people speculated that he might be hiding in the Moon Shadow. We investigated this, but we didn't get any concrete evidence."

Zhou Ming laughed and said, "You've heard this story before. It seems he wasn't just talking nonsense; it actually got official attention."

Lian Minglou was somewhat puzzled, so Zhou Ming briefly recounted how he had obtained information from the trackers.

Minglou laughed and said, "That person did receive attention from the authorities, but many of his ideas were too absurd. After gaining official approval, he was used to asking for exorbitant prices. In the end, the authorities lost patience with him and stopped paying attention to him."

Ming Lou did not linger with Zhou Ming. After receiving Zhou Ming's affirmative reply, he took his leave. Before leaving, he gave Zhou Ming a specially made watch that could emit unique electromagnetic wave codes to identify itself to the New Han Empire's air defense and cancel the air raid alarm.

After Minglou left, Zhou Ming reviewed all the information Minglou had given him.

The ancient war that tore the Earth apart, and the extinction of intelligent life forms that had perished several times.

This world is much more wonderful than Earth in my previous life.

Or perhaps, in my past life, Earth was just as complex, but as an ordinary person, I had no chance to come into contact with it?

Zhou Ming stretched lazily, walked to the window, and looked at the lights in the building across the street and the busy people in the small rooms.

He suddenly realized that what he thought was exciting was actually a very tragic scene.

Intelligent life on this planet has been destroyed three times already, and no one can guarantee that this time will be no exception.

Those who know the truth must be in a state of great anxiety and worry right now.

Human civilization is like a dilapidated ship sailing on a turbulent sea.

Every plank of the large ship was rotten and could fall apart at any moment.

The ordinary passengers on the ship continued their hedonistic lifestyle, intoxicated by the great achievements of human civilization.

Only a small number of people witnessed the disaster that was so close at hand, yet were powerless to stop it.

The only variable lies with him.

He could easily lift the ship from the sea and save it from disaster, or he could stand by and watch it be swallowed by the ocean. He could even transform into the biggest wave and swallow the ship whole.

An individual's free will has now become the key to the survival of a civilization.

There is nothing more absurd than this in the world.

Rational thinking leads humans to believe that everything follows certain patterns.

The truth is that what truly matters is the free will, which is unrestrained by anyone, has no rules to follow, and is not bound by any necessity.

He can choose to stand on the side of humanity now, but he can also change his mind in the next moment. No one can force him to change his mind.

Fortunately, it is he who is making the decision now, not someone else.

Anyone who knew that their fate was constantly swayed by a powerful inner will would probably not be able to live a single day properly.

Zhou Ming breathed a sigh of relief, relaxing his somewhat serious mood.

He suddenly found it somewhat amusing.

When he first mutated, he thought that once he became invincible, he could do whatever he wanted. He could be a tyrant who ruled the world, or a bastard who didn't eat beef, because no one would be able to punish him.

But now that he has finally been able to do it, he has discovered that his real opponent is not external limitations, but his own inner nature.

He couldn't do things that went against his nature.

For example, wantonly bullying others will not make him feel happy; it will only make him feel disgusted with himself.

Since that's the case, then let's just continue to follow our nature.

Don't predetermine your future; your nature will guide you.

……

September 23rd is the date the trackers say the solar eclipse will be visible.

Zhou Ming decided to arrive in Jinsha City a day early to meet up with the three trackers.

Yi Jiahui also accompanied him.

Yi Jiahui had been excited about this day for more than half a month.

On the morning of the 22nd, Yi Jiahui arranged for Cao Ying to stay temporarily at the Pet Home, then found Zhou Ming and asked, "Senior, shall we set off now?"

Zhou Ming nodded and said, "It's about time."

He picked up Yi Jiahui and quickly soared into the sky.

Yi Jiahui shrank into a ball in fright, clinging tightly to Zhou Ming's arm, her two cat ears sticking out in fear as she lay trembling on her head.

Zhou Ming opened his phone's navigation app and searched for Jinsha City.

When flying to a distant place, this is one of the inconveniences: mobile phone navigation does not have a flight mode, only a walking or driving mode, so the user needs to find a way to calibrate the direction.

In the past, every time I left Earth and returned to Chengdu, I would wander around aimlessly before finally returning to where I started.

Fortunately, he was fast, so he didn't mind taking this detour.

Zhou Ming roughly determined the direction of Jinsha City, and then flew there.

It was like a thunderclap streaking across the sky, accompanied by a deafening roar.

The two arrived in Jinsha City in less than half an hour.

Jinsha City is the capital of Jiangnan Province, about 3,000 miles away from Chengdu. It took less than half an hour to fly there. For Zhou Ming, this was a controlled flight, but for Yi Jiahui, it was a speed beyond her capacity.

So after landing, the cat was completely dazed and looked like a fool. It took it a long time to recover.

Zhou Ming promptly contacted the tracker and then met up with him at Henglu Mountain.

The tracker and his two students were there.

The tracker's real name is Wang Yao. Number one is his graduate student named Zhang Boyang, and number two is also his graduate student, one year younger than Zhang Boyang, named Liu Wen.

These three people are all outliers, and Zhou Ming couldn't help but suspect that Wang Yao had used his authority to specifically recruit two outlier graduate students.
