Everyone has awakened, but I am the only mortal!

Old Zhou suddenly realized: "I know that! Feathers sink when they land on it! You mean those puddles that could swallow a person are 'weak water'? But there's rainwater on the road too, so how come it's fine to step on it?"

"Accumulated water forms a river," Su Bai said calmly. "Perhaps only the accumulated water that gathers into pits and rivers is truly weak water."

He couldn't think of a more reasonable explanation for the time being.

Fortunately, everyone has figured out that as long as they avoid the water bubbles and puddles, they can be safe for the time being.

On the other side, Chen Hua turned his head, a cryptic smile on his face, and said, "You seem to know a lot about the Classic of Mountains and Seas."

The tone was firm, not questioning.

Then, his gaze fixed on Su Bai, he asked again, "What did you do for a living before the apocalypse?"

Su Bai looked up: "I don't remember."

Chen Hua chuckled lightly, his tone seemingly joking, but a barely perceptible probing lurked in his eyes as he said, word by word, "Is it that you truly don't remember, or... that you simply don't remember at all?"

Su Bai frowned slightly, and his fingertips unconsciously curled up.

He didn't understand what Chen Hua meant by "nothing".

Old Zhou already disliked Chen Hua and was certain that he had secretly gone out to hide Jiang Fan's body. Seeing Chen Hua question Su Bai in such a sarcastic tone, he immediately retorted angrily:

"Before questioning others, take a good look at yourself! You're like a crow perched on a pig!"

Instead of being angry, Chen Hua feigned complete confusion and asked curiously, "What does a crow standing on a pig have to do with me?"

Old Zhou was taken aback, then scoffed, "Are you illiterate? You don't even understand this proverb?"

"I really don't understand." Chen Hua said frankly, even with a hint of humility and sincerity in seeking guidance.

Seeing his pretentious act, Old Zhou rolled his eyes in annoyance and explained, "It means you can only see other people's flaws, but you can't see your own! Do you understand now?"

This time, it was Chen Hua's turn to be stunned. A look of confusion flashed across his eyes, as if he had just figured out the meaning of the proverb. After a moment, he returned to his previous calm and didn't say anything more.

Old Zhou withdrew his gaze, moved closer to Su Bai, and muttered in a low voice, "I've never seen anything like this before. He doesn't even know this? Could he be faking it?"

No sooner had he finished speaking than Kuroko, who was relieving himself right next to him, suddenly took a step forward without warning.

But as soon as he landed, he staggered forward and fell. By the bright moonlight, Su Bai could see clearly that there was an inconspicuous puddle under his feet!

Everything happened so fast that there was no time to react.

Old Zhou exclaimed in surprise and instinctively reached out to pull Hei Zi back, but it was too late. Hei Zi's entire head was already submerged in the water bubble, and his body was being dragged into the water by an invisible, strange force with astonishing strength.

Old Zhou gripped Hei Zi's arm tightly, his knuckles turning white, but the pull inside the blister was too strong, pulling him towards the blister as well, causing his feet to slip repeatedly.

Seeing this, Chen Hua, who was on the other side of Hei Zi, immediately rushed over, grabbed Hei Zi's other arm, and pulled him back forcefully.

With Chen Hua's help, the pressure on Lao Zhou lessened considerably. The two of them, one on each side, held onto Hei Zi tightly, trying to pull him out.

Hei Zi, whose head was submerged in the water bubble, struggled violently due to lack of oxygen, splashing water onto Lao Zhou and Chen Hua's faces and bodies.

Old Zhou accidentally got water in his eyes, and a sharp, needle-like pain shot through him instantly. He cried out in pain, instinctively released his grip, and his body fell towards the bubble.

Su Bai reacted extremely quickly. Almost the instant Lao Zhou let go, he rushed over, grabbed the back of his collar, and pulled him back forcefully, firmly pressing him to the ground.

On the other side, only Chen Hua was left pulling hard on the black-clad figure.

The strange force inside the bubble grew stronger and stronger, and Chen Hua's face gradually turned pale. His hand, which was gripping Hei Zi's arm, began to tremble slightly, and fine beads of cold sweat appeared on his forehead. He was clearly about to give up.

Su Bai calmed Lao Zhou down, then immediately got up and rushed over, grabbing Hei Zi's other arm and pulling him back with all his might.

But Hei Zi's upper body had already been pulled into the water, and the invisible pull was getting stronger and stronger. Su Bai felt all his strength being drained away, and he was being pulled forward, his feet almost touching the edge of the water bubble.

Just then, Su Bai suddenly noticed that the pulling force in the water had inexplicably become lighter.

He subconsciously looked towards Chen Hua and was shocked to find that Chen Hua's hand had been placed in the water bubble at some point, and his arm was slowly sinking into the bubble. Because of this, the force with which Chen Hua was pulling Hei Zi into the water was much weaker.

Chen Hua seemed to have realized this as well. He shouted to Su Bai, "Hei Zi has gone too deep. There's only one way now. I'll stick one arm in first. If I can pull Hei Zi out, I'll pull him out first."

Before Su Bai could react, Chen Hua had already leaned forward, his arm sinking deeper into the water bubble, with half of his shoulder almost submerged.

At the same time, Su Bai clearly felt that the force pulling on Hei Zi had loosened a lot. He didn't have time to think, so he pushed off the ground with both legs and sat back with all his might. With a "plop" sound, like pulling a radish out of the mud, Hei Zi was forcibly pulled out of the bubble.

Su Bai and Hei Zi fell heavily to the ground, their backs aching from the impact. Su Bai felt his buttocks were numb, but he didn't bother to rub them. His gaze suddenly turned to Chen Hua.

At this moment, Chen Hua was leaning to one side, with most of his body being pulled by the strange force in the water bubble, and he was about to sink in.

Su Bai immediately rushed over, grabbed Chen Huayang's hand that was in mid-air, and pulled him back with all his might, but the pulling force in the water was too strong, and his strength alone was not enough. In the blink of an eye, Chen Huayang's head was already submerged in the water, with only one hand still sticking out.

Su Bai was gradually pulled towards the water bubble.

His foot had been pulled along by that force, moved to the edge of the blister, and could be pulled in at any moment.

"Su Bai!" Old Zhou shouted anxiously from the side, enduring the stinging pain in his eyes, struggling to get up, and was about to rush over.

The commotion outside alerted Luo Zheng and the others inside.

Upon hearing the exclamation, they immediately rushed out. Seeing the scene before them, Luo Zheng and Zheng Ge didn't hesitate. They quickly stepped forward, grabbed Chen Hua's other hand on each side, and together with Su Bai, they exerted force.

With the help of the two men, they had much more strength, and the three of them worked together to finally pull Chen Hua out of the water bubble.

The people were rescued, but Chen Hua and Hei Zi both had their eyes closed, were motionless, and showed no reaction.
