I became Superman

Chapter 92 Monster City

Cao Ying was caught off guard by the unexpected offer of a ride and reached out to grab Zhou Ming's arm.

Zhou Ming sighed and said, "Get out of here right now while I'm in a good mood, or I'll smash your fox head in."

Hu Shanxiang was startled. He looked Zhou Ming over carefully for a few moments and then smiled, "So we're kindred spirits. I won't bother you any longer."

After saying that, he turned and walked away.

Kusaka asked in confusion, "What a coincidence, we just happened to run into an oddity."

Zhou Ming said, "This is not as simple as a coincidence."

He glanced around and found that the oddballs in Chengdu were indeed extraordinary.

First, the quantity is much greater than usual.

As a large city with a permanent population of over 20 million, Chengdu has long maintained a population of several thousand for its outcasts.

The chances of encountering someone with several thousand people in a large city of twenty million are actually very low.

But now, after scanning his surroundings, he can spot the oddities. Conservatively speaking, the number of oddities in Chengdu has probably increased more than tenfold in a short period of time.

Chengdu nowadays is a city full of monsters.

Another unusual thing was that these outcasts seemed particularly restless and audacious.

With the suppression of outcasts at the center, outcasts are usually very low-key. Only beings at the king level or even god level, who enjoy the privileges of the empire, are not so concerned about the empire's rules.

Now, all sorts of oddballs, big and small, in Chengdu seem particularly restless, as if they're ready to cause trouble at any moment.

Zhou Ming is now almost certain that someone is secretly targeting him.

He was simply unsure of the other party's intentions in making these arrangements.

But it meant nothing to him.

Regardless of the other party's intentions, he only needs to remain calm and composed.

There will always be a time when the other party reveals their intentions. All he needs to do is smash their head with a punch when they stick their head out.

Zhou Ming and Cao Ying strolled around for half a day, walking from Wangjiang Park to the east gate of Xichuan University.

Kusa Sakura, a junior high school dropout, longed for university, so the two of them sneaked into the campus through the east gate.

Zhou Ming had been here before when he was just strolling around. The two of them walked from the east gate all the way to the track and field next to the south gate.

The two sat on the stands next to the track and field, sprawled out, lazily basking in the sun.

"It turns out that doing nothing, just wandering around aimlessly and basking in the sun, can bring such joy."

Kusaka said with a smile.

Zhou Ming said, "This is the life that many people dream of."

"Excessive desires can cause stress. If you don't fulfill your desires, you will spend every day pursuing them with great effort. But once you fulfill them, you will feel bored and develop another kind of desire, which will drive you to run like a whip."

"It's also nice to be able to break free from the drive of desires and live aimlessly."

"However, this is not easy to achieve. What seems like the simplest thing often has the most stringent requirements."

Putting everything else aside, if you want to be carefree and idle, yet still enjoy yourself, you must first have the ability to remain undisturbed by any external forces.

Cao Ying nodded, still sprawled in her seat, letting the warm sunlight shine on her face, and slowly, she fell asleep.

Seeing that she was asleep, Zhou Ming smiled and shook his head, then turned his gaze to the track and field.

On the football field, people were playing football; on the adjacent running track, some were jogging and exercising; and some young couples were leisurely strolling around.

This is a world completely different from the world of other species.

The orchid leaves are lush in spring, and the osmanthus flowers are bright and clear in autumn.

It’s a festive season to be happy with this business.

Zhou Ming also closed his eyes and pretended to sleep.

As the sun began to set and the air gradually cooled, the two stretched and got up.

"Brother Zhou Ming, I'm all better now!"

Cao Ying smiled, the gloom between her brows had dissipated.

Zhou Ming laughed and said, "Congratulations! Come on, let me take you to eat something delicious."

"yeah!"

Kusaka cheered.

The two left the track and field, crossed the square in front of the stadium, and headed to find food outside the south gate.

Sichuan University has a small north gate and a south gate, outside which are two food streets.

Zhou Ming had eaten at a tofu pudding shop on the street outside Xiaobeimen. It was a well-established shop and the pudding was quite delicious.

I haven't eaten outside the South Gate yet, so I don't know what kind of food they have.

He plans to search carefully, which is part of enjoying life.

Before the two even reached the south gate, they saw two strange-looking fellows walking towards them, stepping on golden ginkgo leaves.

One of the two men was tall and thin like a bamboo pole, with a world-weary expression.

Another one was heavily pregnant and had a big smile on his face.

The two walked up to Zhou Ming and Cao Ying, and looked Cao Ying up and down for a while.

The fat man asked, "Is it them?"

The skinny man said, "There's no mistake."

The fat man nodded, smiled, walked forward, and took a deep breath.

Suddenly, a black hole as tall as a person appeared in front of Zhou Ming and Cao Ying, swallowing them up in the blink of an eye.

The students who were walking behind Zhou Ming and Cao Ying cried out in surprise when they saw the people in front of them suddenly disappear.

They looked around with suspicion, but finding nothing suspicious, they began to wonder if they were imagining things.

The fat guy and the skinny guy exchanged a smile and walked out of the school together.

"Brother Zhou Ming, what happened?"

Kusa Sakura couldn't see what was happening; she only felt that she was no longer in the same place, and her feet felt soft and yielding, like she was stepping on cotton.

"Oh no, it seems we've been kidnapped."

Zhou Ming smiled.

He explored the place with great interest. It was completely dark, about the size of his room, and had no solid walls. The walls were elastic and felt like rubber bands.

An interesting ability, like a portable storage pouch.

I wish I could have one myself.

Zhou Ming lamented once again that his abilities were limited, only capable of fighting and killing, unlike these outcasts who were quite cute with their flashy antics.

"Kidnapping?"

Cao Ying asked worriedly, "Who would kidnap us, Brother Zhou Ming? Can you get out of here?"

Zhou Ming laughed and said, "That's easy, but I suspect that forcibly breaking through here will kill that little fat guy. It would be better to have them lead us to our destination so we can find out who is trying to kidnap us."

Turn left after exiting the east gate of Xichuan University, and you will find Jiuyuan Bridge not far away.

There's a whole street near Kuonbashi Bridge that's lined with bars.

These bars open in the evening and really come alive after 9 p.m.

It's only a little past five o'clock, and one bar is already packed with people.

From the outside, it looks like there are some beautiful girls inside, swaying their hips to the music.

Passersby were intrigued and wanted to go in and join the fun, but were stopped by two men dressed in black with stiff expressions at the door.

So people found out that the bar had been booked out and a private party was taking place inside.

Hong Tianyang sat at the bar, his gaze sweeping over the women.

These women twisted tirelessly, their faces blank and their eyes lifeless, as if their minds were no longer on the present.

Hong Tianyang surveyed the area, then withdrew his gaze in boredom and sighed.

He's only in his early thirties, yet he can no longer find pleasure in enjoyment.
