Everyone has awakened, but I am the only mortal!

In the following days, the environment along the way gradually changed.

Previously, all I could see along the way was endless yellow sand and desolation, but now I can see some dilapidated residential areas, and the sandstorms have subsided considerably.

The weather was still muggy, but it was no longer the suffocating heat; the wind carried a hint of coolness, making it much more comfortable.

Looking at the scene before him, Luo Zheng smiled, a smile he hadn't shown in a long time, and said to everyone, "In three more days at most, we'll reach the Western Regions!"

Zheng Yi, whose face was usually cold, even smiled for once, and added, "If you walk a little further, you'll see plants."

"Plants?" Old Zhou's eyes lit up, his face full of surprise. "Plants can survive in the apocalypse?"

Seeing the shocked look on Lao Zhou's face, Zheng Yi couldn't help but smile: "Isn't it normal to have plants? Since humans can survive, plants, which are more resilient than humans, can naturally survive as well, although their form may be different."

Old Zhou scratched his head and said with a smile, "I just didn't expect that even without the sun, some plants could still survive."

"Here, the sun shines."

Luo Zheng's words stunned everyone, leaving them speechless with surprise.

Luo Zheng explained with a smile, "The air here in the Western Regions is very good. The sky isn't blocked by smog and dust, so you can see the sun. It's just that some of the surviving plants have been affected by meteorite radiation and have...mutated."

"Mutant?" Old Zhou was in a particularly good mood upon hearing that the sun was out, and couldn't help but joke, "It won't turn into one of those mutated plants in Plants vs. Zombies that can fight monsters, will it?"

Luo Zheng chuckled softly and gave Lao Zhou a meaningful look: "You'll know when we get there. I'm sure you won't be disappointed."

Old Zhou's smile froze instantly, and he muttered under his breath, "So mysterious, it's making me uneasy."

This time, however, he obediently shut his mouth and didn't ask any more questions.

Luo Zheng's gaze made him inexplicably feel that the mutated plant was probably not so simple.

That night, while we were resting, the moon suddenly rose in the sky, its gentle light shining down on the earth and dispelling the darkness of the day.

This was the first time in three months since the apocalypse that Su Bai didn't have to face a pitch-black night, and he felt a strange sense of peace in his heart.

Everyone found a clean place to rest, and the atmosphere was much more relaxed than before.

Old Zhou sat down next to Su Bai, listened intently for a while, then his eyes lit up. He patted Su Bai's arm and said, "Su Bai, did you hear that? There's a cricket chirping!"

Su Bai nodded slightly, indeed hearing the clear chirping of crickets, which was particularly pleasant in the quiet night.

Old Zhou immediately perked up and stood up: "I'll go look for them! I've been so bored on the way here. If we catch some, we can have them fight crickets and kill some time!"

His commotion quickly attracted everyone's attention.

Even Zheng Yi, a man of a cold nature, was intrigued and got up to go with Lao Zhou to find crickets.

Luo Zheng then walked over to Su Bai and sat down, lowering his voice slightly: "Do you think Chen Hua has a problem?"

Su Bai was taken aback for a moment, then subconsciously asked, "What's wrong with him?"

Luo Zheng raised his chin, gesturing for Su Bai to look ahead: "Look over there."

Su Bai looked in the direction he indicated.

Only then did they notice that Hei Zi and Chen Hua had walked to the earthen slope not far away, with their backs to them, and they could be vaguely seen talking.

Judging from their demeanor, the conversation was clearly not pleasant.

As Hei Zi was speaking, he suddenly turned around and walked back, but Chen Hua reached out and grabbed his arm, looking somewhat anxious and angry, and it was unclear what he was saying.

Su Bai frowned slightly.

In fact, the moment Chen Hua appeared, everyone became wary of him.

Over the past few days, Su Bai had observed Chen Hua closely. He hadn't paid attention to Chen Hua before, so he didn't know if there was any difference between him and before he entered the alien realm.

Putting those aside, Chen Hua seems perfectly normal right now, with no unusual behavior.

However, today, seeing Chen Hua and Hei Zi talking to each other, seemingly still arguing, Su Bai, seeing Luo Zheng's suspicion, said, "Could it be that Chen Hua is settling scores with Hei Zi again?"

In that other world, the two argued and even fought.

After they came out, Chen Hua told Hei Zi that they would settle their score later.

After waiting for a few days, it's not surprising that Chen Hua sought revenge on Hei Zi at this time.

Not far away, Chen Hua and Hei Zi parted on bad terms, and the two walked over one after the other.

Luo Zheng smiled and said, "Perhaps."

Clearly, he felt that Su Bai was wrong, but he didn't elaborate on why.

Su Bai didn't speak, but his brows furrowed more and more. He felt it wasn't his imagination. He just watched Chen Hua and Hei Zi walking towards them, but instead of getting closer, they were walking further and further away.

"Crickets are hard to catch these days. A cricket that survives in a place like this, is it even still a cricket?"

Luo Zheng's voice beside Su Bai was getting farther and farther away. Su Bai felt as if he was falling into an abyss. It was too quiet all around, and all the sounds of the world were blocked out.

Suddenly, a strong gust of wind swept in. When it hit his face, Su Bai felt as if he had been scraped by a knife, which pulled him back from the abyss.

In the calm night sky, bathed in moonlight, a red shadow slowly descended before my eyes.

Her waist-length hair fell naturally, and her red halter dress reached just above her knees, with a pair of black boots that reached her calves.

The woman was facing away from the moonlight and was quite far away, so her face was not clearly visible, but she exuded a strong aura. As she landed on the ground, five more figures quickly ran up behind her and eventually stood around her.

Luo Zheng's voice clearly reached Su Bai's ears: "Huang Xiang!"

Luo Zheng's voice was somewhat loud, clearly indicating his excitement.

Huang Xiang didn't look at him, but instead looked at Chen Hua and Hei Zi.

Or rather, her gaze was fixed on Chen Hua.

Suddenly, a few people appeared, and Old Zhou and Zheng Ge, who were catching crickets not far away, immediately returned to Su Bai and Luo Zheng's side.

After realizing that the newcomer's attention was on Chen Hua, Luo Zheng shut his mouth and observed the situation.

Even though he couldn't see Huang Xiang's expression clearly, Chen Hua could still feel the oppressive aura emanating from her.

"Who are you people?" Chen Hua asked warily.

As soon as he spoke, Huang Xiang shifted his gaze away, finally landing on Luo Zheng and the others, and said contemptuously, "Since you are superhumans, yet you can't sense the monster, your superhuman abilities are useless."

His tone was arrogant.

Luo Zheng and Zheng Ge's faces darkened.

Huang Xiang raised his palm, using it as a blade, and slashed through the air, sending a powerful and sharp energy towards Chen Hua.
