Everyone has awakened, but I am the only mortal!

Chen Hua didn't even look at Lao Zhou; his gaze remained fixed on Luo Zheng.

Luo Zheng looked at Chen Hua: "Exposing one's superpowers can put them in danger, so many people don't tell outsiders about their superpowers."

Chen Hua didn't believe his explanation: "You all know Huang Xiang."

Luo Zheng said, "Huang Xiang can bring good fortune to others and can also sense the existence of monsters. This can't be kept secret at all. As for others, even if they have special abilities, they will hide them. They will only use their abilities when they encounter danger and have no other choice."

"In the Western Regions, there are no monsters, only people with superpowers and ordinary people. People rarely use their superpowers unless they are being bullied. But once people realize that someone has superpowers, they will stop bothering them."

This is why even if some people have special abilities, no one knows what those abilities are.

Those with superpowers disdain to provoke others with superpowers, and ordinary people dare not provoke those with superpowers either.

This is also why ordinary people and people with superpowers can live together peacefully.

Chen Hua nodded and didn't ask any further questions.

As dusk approached, the last rays of the sun faded, and the evening glow painted half the sky red.

Su Bai looked at the sunset, but his mind was not at rest. Why was that blue inscription here?

They are definitely not heading west, but east.

If that's the case, why does the inscription on the bluestone tablet keep appearing even though the environment has changed?

Su Bai's gaze then fell on Huang Xiang and the others. Huang Xiang would definitely report this situation to He Chuan, but judging from the expressions of He Chuan and the others, they did not seem nervous.

Thinking of this, Su Bai's eyes paused slightly, and suddenly he seemed to have found the answer.

His gaze fell on the ordinary people. Perhaps these inexplicable reasons arose because of the existence of monsters?

If we attribute these things to the monster, then everything makes sense.

Why did they leave different ruins time and time again? Yet, that last piece of bluestone kept reappearing.

So what is the connection between this newly appeared monster and Mount Tai?

Su Bai's mind was a bit of a mess. For seven months in the apocalypse, he had only experienced the struggles among scavengers for the last resources to survive. It wasn't until they met Luo Zheng that they realized the world had changed, and that there were people with superpowers.

There are even other realms.

Instead of resolving all the doubts, entering the strange realm brought forth many more inexplicable and unclear questions.

What exactly is this alternate world?

Is it just a space that allows people to enhance their superpowers?

The first alternate realm involves monsters from the Classic of Mountains and Seas; those things that appeared in the book actually appeared in the alternate realm.

The second alternate dimension is related to Cthulhu and the gods of the West.

Different things.

However, the two also have similarities, such as both involving the issue of life extension.

Su Bai didn't know if his understanding was correct, but he knew that he just needed to verify it step by step.

Each time you enter a different realm, summarize your experience. Perhaps by combining these experiences, you can uncover the truth.

His hand went into his pocket and touched the bronze. He thought of the nightmare he had, the voice in his ear asking, "Where is the thing?" Could it be asking about this bronze?

The more this is the case, the less anyone can know that he brought the bronze artifact out of the otherworld.

Su Bai closed his eyes, still hearing Old Zhou muttering softly, "Are we really going with them? Judging from their situation, they're going into another realm. Every time they manage to come out of a realm, I think it's just luck. Who knows if they'll be able to come out again?"

Su Bai didn't open his eyes: "Besides waiting here, what else can we do?"

Old Zhou also sighed.

Yes, there's nothing they can do but wait here. They don't even know what the Western Regions are or where they are.

But it's a place where you can survive; there's sunshine, water, and grass.

That's the place that everyone who survived the apocalypse dreams of going.

Even now that he has superpowers, Lao Zhou still longs to go to that place. Although he won't be hungry or thirsty and can survive for a month, what about the second month?

The two didn't hide their conversation from others, so Luo Cheng and the others sitting nearby naturally heard it.

They have no choice but to wait, just like they've been stuck here, unable to get out, even though they're heading west, their direction is east.

Their abilities can only take them this far; if they want to go further, they'll need someone with even greater abilities.

Nothing happened that night.

The next morning, Huang Xiang and his group had already gotten up and set off, with Luo Zheng and a few others following behind.

It's not close; there's a distance of more than 10 meters between them.

These ordinary people are going to their deaths; only by meeting certain conditions through them can the gate to another realm be opened.

Knowing the truth, Su Bai felt neither sad nor angry.

The law of the jungle prevails; this is the rule of survival in the apocalypse.

He and Lao Zhou were once among those people.

As they emerged from the city ruins under the scorching sun, Su Bai considered searching again for the bluestone inscription, but seeing He Chuan, they showed no intention of stopping, and Su Bai did not continue the search.

I thought to myself, even if I found it, so what? It wouldn't change anything.

He Chuan and his group are capable, so if they don't take this matter seriously, it's clearly an insignificant matter.

Under the blazing sun, we walked all the way.

Su Bai carried the water source that he and Lao Zhou had found. The two of them didn't dare to drink too much, only taking a small sip and holding it in their mouths before continuing forward with the group.

Chen Hua slowed down, and when he caught up with Lao Zhou and Su Bai, he said, "Do you still have water there? Give me some."

Old Zhou glared at him: "Why should I give it to you?"

Chen Hua's lips were very dry and cracked: "Su Bai, I'll only drink one sip."

Old Zhou was about to speak when Su Bai stopped him and looked at Chen Hua: "Do you have any empty bottles?"

Chen Hua paused for a moment, then took the empty bottle out of his pocket.

Su Bai poured him a small sip of water and handed it to him. Chen Hua didn't mind that it was too little. He tilted his head back and drank all the water into his mouth without swallowing it. He just held it in his mouth.

Looking at Chen Hua's back in front of him, Old Zhou said softly, "It seems he doesn't have any special abilities either."

Su Bai didn't reply, but silently continued walking forward.

Fortunately, most of He Chuan's team members were ordinary people, so they would sit down and rest every now and then.

In grassy areas, people will go looking for food or water.

Su Bai didn't move, because seeing that the people had returned empty-handed, he knew that the grass and water in this place were polluted and undrinkable.
