Everyone has awakened, but I am the only mortal!

Chapter 68 It's Not Shameful

They searched outside for several hours but returned empty-handed.

Chen Hua and Ma Jun were together. Ma Jun usually walked with Luo Zheng and a few others, but in order to keep an eye on Chen Hua, he usually stayed with Chen Hua.

The two were the last to return. Chen Hua said, "There's a supermarket under the ruins over there. We only saw the signboard and a small hole, but we didn't go inside. There might be food there."

Old Zhou's gaze fell on Chen Hua: "Why didn't you two go in and check if there was anything?"

Chen Hua said, "I would like to go in, but some people are worried about me."

Ma Jun said from the side, "I stopped him from going in. Now that everyone is back, why don't we go and take a look together?"

As for why Ma Jun stopped Chen Hua from going in, the reason is obvious without much thought.

In that enclosed space, if Chen Hua were to do something underhanded, Ma Jun would definitely suffer.

For his own safety, Ma Jun would certainly not go in with Chen Hua, but if he let Chen Hua in alone, they wouldn't know what Chen Hua might do during this gap.

Ma Jun stopped Chen Hua and has now brought the news back. The safest thing to do is for everyone to go together.

Luo Zheng stood up: "Let's all go take a look before it gets dark."

These people with superpowers can go a month without food or water, but they can't go without food or water indefinitely.

The group regrouped and headed into the ruins together.

Upon arriving at the ruins, they quickly saw the direction Ma Jun had pointed out.

As you approach, through the dim light, you can see the words "supermarket" and a hole below it.

Su Bai observed the area privately and examined the traces on the ground, but found no footprints indicating that anyone had been there.

In that case, if there's a supermarket downstairs, there should be some food available.

Luo Zheng walked in front, Zheng Ge followed behind, Chen Hua followed in the middle, and Su Bai and Lao Zhou followed at the very back.

The hole, about half a person's height, could only be passed through by one person at a time, and the group went in one by one.

It was very dark inside. When Zheng Ge's hand rested on the wall, a flame suddenly burst into flames. The flames were small, but enough to illuminate the surrounding scenery.

Everything in front of me brightened, and I could see the collapsed cargo shelves.

There were scattered items on the ground, including a lot of food.

Everyone's eyes lit up, but Old Zhou's attention was focused on Zheng Ge's hand. He turned his head and whispered to Su Bai, "Did you see that? It's quite amazing. His hand can generate fire and control the size of the fire."

After hearing this, Su Bai did not look in Zheng Ge's direction, because he had noticed it when Zheng Ge started a fire in his hand when he came in.

His attention was more focused on the entire partially collapsed house.

There were many bags of puffed food on the ground. By the light of the fire in Zheng Ge's hand, everyone walked over and could see some bread scattered on the ground, still in its packaging. Although it had expired, it was better than having no food at all.

Luo Zheng said, "Everyone, look around privately to see if you have any bags or anything. With so much food, bring as much as you can."

Everyone spread out, but Old Zhou's mouth didn't stop either. He whispered in Su Bai's ear, "Everyone has all sorts of superpowers. Do you think there's a superpower that can instantly take everything into its possession, like in novels, with a spatial ability?"

Su Bai didn't respond to him. He looked around in the dim firelight and saw a large bag in the distance. He walked over to it.

This is the household goods section; there are many bags here. He called everyone over.

Everyone grabbed a few bags and tried to put as much food as possible off the ground into them.

However, just as everyone had finished packing, they heard footsteps behind them. Looking up, they saw people squeezing in through the entrance. Seeing that there was food, they rushed in like swarms.

Su Bai pulled Lao Zhou aside, avoiding the surging crowd: "Let's get out now."

This place is very small. With so many people rushing in all at once, we don't know if they will run into any places. If they do run into any places, they could easily get crushed.

Su Bai pulled Lao Zhou outside, and as they passed Luo Zheng and the others, he called out to them to hurry up and leave.

Luo Zheng and his group did not linger. They had come in first and had already collected a lot of things. When they pushed through the crowd and came out of the cave, they could still hear the noise and scrambling sounds coming from inside the cave behind them.

Outside, Huang Xiang and the others stood there without going in.

Upon seeing Luo Zheng, several people came out carrying bags. He Chuan said with a sneer, "If word gets out that a superhuman is crowding together with ordinary people to snatch things, people will probably laugh at us."

Luo Zheng gripped the bag in his hand tightly: "Superhumans are human too. They need to eat and drink. There's nothing shameful about competing with others for food."

He Chuan snorted coldly and didn't reply.

Old Zhou, ever the smooth talker, said, "Don't superhumans need to eat too? What do you eat in the Western Regions? Or do they provide you with food? You don't have to fight for it, do you?"

He Chuan's expression didn't change much, but the two men beside him did, their eyes flashing with malice as they glared at Lao Zhou.

Old Zhou chuckled lightly: "We're on the same side, we're on the same side. I have superpowers too."

The two men just stared at him without making any other move.

Huang Xiang frowned deeply. Seeing the current strife between Luo Zheng and them, she clearly disapproved. Unfortunately, she had already tried to persuade Luo Zheng several times, but he didn't appreciate it.

Luo Zheng and his group had only been out for a few minutes when they heard screams coming from inside. They turned around and saw a cloud of dust rising from the cave behind them, with people emerging one after another, and screams echoing through the air.

He Chuan and his group stood outside without moving, simply watching coldly as everything unfolded.

Su Bai frowned. In this apocalyptic era of human greed, even if he had just urged everyone to leave, no one would have listened to him.

When they returned to their original spot to rest, everyone sorted out the things they had brought out of the disaster. Many of the puffed foods had deflated and the contents were moldy, but some of them were still edible.

With food available, even Luo Zheng and the others ate something today; they didn't just endure the hunger without eating.

Meanwhile, He Chuan and his group returned. Of the more than 20 people who were originally following them, only seven or eight remained.

The long queue was reduced by more than half in an instant; it's no exaggeration to say that human life is as worthless as grass in this era.

Su Bai arranged the food and put it in his pocket, which was exactly one bagful.

He had barely settled down and hadn't even put the bag down beside him when he heard the voice calling "Tongtong" again.
