The aliens who were picked up by Superman at the beginning

The morning light in the fishing hut always carries a salty, warm glow. As the seventh ray of light pierced through the window and fell on the edge of the bed, Li Zhen was slowly stretching out her body.

He had already quietly removed the bandages, and the hideous wound that once stretched across his chest and abdomen was now just a few faint pink marks.

The broken ribs have long since healed firmly, and even the previously sprained spine has completely regained its vitality.

He clenched his fist, feeling the surging power within him, a hint of surprise flashing in his eyes.

The Vitrum aliens possess an extremely strong self-healing ability.

His recovery from this unprecedented severe injury resulted in an unprecedented improvement.

His muscle definition has become more even and firm, and his strength is twice as great as before the injury.

My five senses have become much more acute. The soft sound of waves crashing against the rocks a hundred meters away from the window, and the rustling of leaves in the sea breeze, can be clearly heard.

"Unfortunately, I haven't studied the setting of the Invincible Young Hero comic in detail."

Li Zhen thought to herself, her fingertips tracing the faint marks on her chest.

He wasn't quite sure why the Witrumans possessed such formidable physiques. His combat grades were good, and he didn't end up needing to study the science of Witrum.

During those seven days, he cooperated with Tom's care every day, feeling his body gradually recover from the brink of death.

The return of her power and the incredible boost allowed Li Zhen to carefully experience the changes in every inch of her body for the first time.

Previously, there was no such free time; the end of a battle or special training session wouldn't give you much breathing room.

It's hard to know how much stronger you've become.

Until she was granted special permission to attend her graduation ceremony early, Li Zhen's memories were filled with endless torment. People around her were either eliminated or died, but those who could walk alongside her seemed to be about the same strength.

Although Li Zhen had heard from some instructors that the Vitrum aliens could gain unlimited power from battles of sufficient intensity, she had never personally experienced it so profoundly.

When I went downstairs, Tom had already cooked breakfast, which was still a simple seafood chowder with crispy toast.

"How are you feeling? You look much better."

Tom turned around, his face bearing his usual gentle smile. His blue overalls were still clean and tidy, though the salt stains on the cuffs seemed to have increased a bit more.

"I feel much better, thank you for taking care of me."

Li Zhen sat down, her gaze inadvertently sweeping over the old-fashioned television set in the corner of the living room.

During those seven days, the television set became his main window to understanding the world.

Every morning after Tom went out to sea to fish, he would turn on the television and piece together the outline of the world from the programs on various channels.

Initially, it was just scattered information.

The "Metropolitan Flying Hero" and "Gotham's Night Vigilantes" mentioned in city news.

The "Planet Media" logo occasionally appears in GG.

There was also the topic of "superheroes" that was hotly discussed by citizens in street interviews.

As more and more information came into her mind, Li Zhen gradually gained a clearer understanding.

This is most likely a DC Comics-related world.

The "Justice League," which appears frequently on television, is the best proof of this.

The evening news will regularly broadcast the alliance's public operations, such as preventing meteorite impacts, mitigating urban disasters, and apprehending high-tech criminals...

But what puzzled Li Zhen was that the news mentioned that the Justice League had been established for less than two years, and the members appearing in the footage all looked too young.

The Flash's uniform still had a brand-new shine, Green Lantern was often out on "cosmic business trips," and some Justice League heroes occasionally revealed "fatal" flaws during their operations.

To be frank, based on his current assessment, Lee Jung is confident that he can kill more than half of the Justice League members without taking any damage.

What concerned him even more was information about Superman.

The Superman on TV wears the classic red and blue suit, with the S logo on his chest standing out in the sunlight. He leaves a white trail behind him when he flies, and he always has a gentle smile when he saves people.

Li Zhen repeatedly compared the news footage and discovered that the Superman's eye color was exactly the same as the black-suited Superman who saved her in space that day—both were pure blue.

However, the two have completely different temperaments.

The red and blue superhero on TV is like a sunny and cheerful big boy, full of trust and enthusiasm for humanity;

The black Superman who saved him had a more composed and dignified aura, with a hint of weariness and sharpness hidden between his brows.

Even the warmth emanating from his palm at that time carried a gentleness born of hardship.

"Are there two Supermen?"

Li Zhen picked up the soup bowl, concealing the doubt in her eyes.

Besides, there are many things in this world that contradict the comic book settings he remembered.

For example, the Daily Planet from the comics becomes "Planet Media" here, which not only publishes newspapers but also operates multiple television channels and online platforms.

Superman's girlfriend, Lois Lane, is not just a reporter, but also a presenter for Planet Media's prime-time evening news.

He appears on screen promptly at 7 p.m. every night, delivering reports on major domestic and international events in a concise tone, and occasionally hosts special interviews about superheroes.

"Perhaps it's not contradictory, but rather a kind of keeping up with the times?"

Li Zhen thought to herself, then shook her head at her own ridiculous idea.

"I plan to mend the fishing nets again today. The wind and waves have been big lately, so I need to take care of the fishing gear."

Tom's voice interrupted Li Zhen's thoughts.

He put down his chopsticks, picked up the straw hat from the corner of the wall, put it on his head, and turned to leave.

Li Zhen's gaze fell on Tom's hand as he picked up the straw hat.

During those seven days, he never stopped observing Tom.

Tom's words and actions revealed the characteristics of a true fisherman. He went out to sea on time every day to repair his fishing gear. When he returned, he would sort and organize his catch and occasionally chat with his neighbors.

But Li Zhen's intuition repeatedly reminded him that this man was definitely not simple.

Once, Li Zhen deliberately knocked over a water glass while he was repairing a fishing net. Tom reacted incredibly quickly, turning around and grabbing the glass without anyone seeing him.

At that moment, Li Zhen was almost certain that Tom was hiding something, but this superficial attempt never worked again.

But whenever Li Zhen tries to explore with words, Tom immediately reverts to his gentle and honest fisherman demeanor.

He patiently helped Li Zhen change her bandages. (Even though Li Zhen's wound had already healed.)

He would bring back fresh seafood when he returned from the sea, and would quietly sit beside Li Zhen while she watched TV, organizing her fishing gear, never actively seeking out unnecessary information.

"I'll go with you."

Li Zhen suddenly spoke up. He wanted to take advantage of the opportunity to go to sea to observe Tom further, and perhaps find more clues about this world from the marine environment.

Tom paused for a moment, then shook his head.

"No need. It's windy at sea, and your injury hasn't fully healed yet. Just stay inside and rest."

"It's much better now. I felt so stuffy staying indoors all the time."

Li Zhen stood up, stretched her arms, and deliberately showed Tom that she was already moving nimbly.

"I can help you out, hand you tools and stuff, I won't cause any trouble."

Tom stared at Li Zhen for a few seconds, seemingly judging whether he was really suited to go to sea.

After a moment, he nodded.

"Alright, but you can only stay on the boat and are not allowed to run around. Hold on to the gunwale when the wind and waves are high."

"it is good."

Li Zhen agreed, and then laughed twice.

"I can actually fly."

Tom looked at him seriously and shook his head.

"What kind of fishing is it if you're flying in the sky? Your position is too high, so you can't see the depths of the ocean."

Li Zhen was stunned for a moment, then watched Tom's back as he walked towards the door, a glint of light flashing in her eyes.

He knew that his probing had finally made some progress.
