Everyone has awakened, but I am the only mortal!

As evening fell, the group found a sheltered earthen slope to rest.

Old Zhou plopped down on the ground, beaming with pride, and said, "Now I have superpowers! From now on, if I encounter a monster, I won't have to hide anymore; I can just face it head-on!"

Su Bai was taciturn to begin with, and at this moment he was just leaning against the earthen slope, closing his eyes to rest, without saying a word. Everyone was already used to his quietness and did not find it strange.

Luo Zheng smiled and explained the basics of superpowers to everyone: "You don't know, but one advantage of being a superpowered person is that they can live normally even if they don't eat or drink for a month. That's why everyone in the apocalypse is desperately trying to awaken their superpowers."

At this point, he turned his gaze to Kuroko and asked with concern, "Kuroko, have you felt anything unusual about your body today?"

Hei Zi remained silent for a while, then slowly shook his head: "I don't feel anything special. I just walked all day and I don't feel hungry or thirsty. My stamina is also much better than before."

Luo Zheng sighed, "It seems you've awakened a special ability, but you don't know the specific type yet. You'll have to figure it out yourself."

Old Zhou asked curiously, "Is there anyone who has never been able to guess what their special ability is?"

Luo Zheng smiled, then, as if remembering something, slowly said, "There really are such cases. When we were in the Western Regions, there was a man named Wu Dao who, like us, could go a month without eating or drinking. But even after we left the Western Regions, he still didn't understand what his special ability was."

Old Zhou immediately became smug: "Luckily, Su Bai is observant and was the first to discover my special ability!"

He paused, his eyes lighting up, and added, "My superpower makes me immune to pain and injury no matter how much I'm hit. Frankly, isn't it just a natural punching bag? If I ever find myself in a desperate situation, I can always figure out how to charge people for being beaten up and earn some supplies!"

After saying that, he looked at Luo Zheng and asked seriously, "Do you think anyone in the apocalypse would be willing to pay me to get beaten up and vent their emotions?"

Luo Zheng's lips twitched, and he nodded perfunctorily: "...I think so."

But in his heart he thought to himself: Anyway, I'm not going to spend this money.

Of the six, only Su Bai and Hei Zi are still unsure whether they have awakened any special abilities, or what those abilities are.

It would be a lie to say I wasn't curious, but this is something that can't be rushed.

If you don't even know what your own special ability is, even if you awaken it, you won't be able to use it effectively.

The next morning, the six continued their journey.

The other five remained energetic, showing no signs of fatigue or hunger or thirst, but Su Bai gradually sensed something was wrong.

He was actually hungry, and his throat was so dry it hurt.

The biscuits and water he brought from the other world disappeared the moment he left, leaving him with only the few biscuits that Old Zhou had given him earlier.

He watched as the five people around him continued to walk briskly, while he himself gradually found it difficult to keep up. He didn't say anything, but silently took out a biscuit, broke it into small pieces, and slowly chewed it in his mouth, trying to relieve his hunger and thirst.

His eating was quickly noticed by the other five people.

Especially Luo Zheng and Zheng Yi, a clear look of doubt flashed in their eyes. They looked at each other and both had the same question in their expressions: How is this possible?

Ma Jun spoke directly, his tone laced with undisguised provocation: "Su Bai, Luo Zheng already said that superhumans can go a month without food or water. How come you're hungry after only one day? Could it be that you didn't actually gain any superpowers from the other world?"

Su Bai finished chewing the biscuit in her mouth, slowly raised her eyes to look at Ma Jun, and said in a calm tone: "I said before that I don't have any special abilities."

Old Zhou immediately stepped forward, blocking Su Bai's path, and said coldly, "Ma Jun, if you're itching for a beating, come at me, don't pick on the weak!"

Ma Jun sneered, his gaze sweeping over Su Bai with disdain, then he glanced disdainfully at Lao Zhou: "You know he's weak? An ordinary person without any superpowers, does he even deserve to go to the Western Regions with us?"

"You fucking asking for a beating!" Old Zhou instantly rolled up his sleeves, ready to charge forward. "Whether he's soft or not, your Uncle Zhou doesn't know, but your Uncle Zhou's fists are hard. Want to try?"

Seeing that the two were about to start arguing again, Luo Zheng quickly intervened, his tone tinged with impatience: "Alright, alright, you've been arguing all the way. If you want to fight, go fight somewhere else. Don't delay our journey."

Ma Jun glared at Lao Zhou, but ultimately suppressed his anger and ignored him.

Turning to Luo Zheng, Ma Jun asked forcefully, "Luo Zheng, has anyone come out of the otherworld without gaining superpowers? I think Su Bai is an exception."

Luo Zheng slowly shook his head, his tone uncertain: "I'm not sure, at least we haven't encountered this situation before. But you never know, maybe his special ability just hasn't awakened yet."

"Awakening?" Ma Jun scoffed, his sarcasm deepening. "Although Hei Zi doesn't know what his special ability is, the fact that he can remain neither hungry nor thirsty is clear: Su Bai hasn't gained any special abilities; he's just an ordinary person!"

The implication was that Su Bai had no special abilities at all.

Luo Zheng remained silent, clearly agreeing with Ma Jun's words.

Just then, Old Zhou suddenly suppressed his anger, his expression turned serious, and he lowered his voice to say to Ma Jun, "You have someone behind you."

Ma Jun scoffed, his face full of disdain: "Don't try to scare me. There are six of us sitting here, and the surroundings are empty. Where did this person come from?"

Old Zhou's expression grew increasingly solemn as he said, word by word, "I'm not lying to you, it's Chen Hua. He's right behind you, standing there watching you."

As soon as he finished speaking, the entire scene fell silent, and everyone's expression changed.

Chen Hua, who was clearly dead in the other world, how did he end up here?

Ma Jun was undoubtedly the most panicked of the six, but he forced himself to be the first to regain his senses. His eyes were bloodshot as he stared intently at Lao Zhou as if he wanted to devour him.

His tone was clearly full of anger, but when he cursed Lao Zhou, you could tell he lacked confidence: "Are you never going to stop? How dare you joke about me like this? You're asking for it!"

As he spoke, he suddenly stood up, his fists clenched so tightly they cracked, and his murderous aura surged again, making him look ready to fight.

Old Zhou didn't respond, but subconsciously moved closer to Su Bai, his shoulders slightly tense.

His seemingly frightened appearance made it seem as if he had actually seen something, causing a chill to run down the spines of those present, who began to doubt whether his earlier words were true.

Ma Jun felt a chill run down his spine, the coldness creeping up his spine. He knew that if he just turned around and glanced back, he could expose Lao Zhou's "lie," but his legs felt like lead, and he couldn't move them no matter what he did, let alone turn around.
