The male supporting character was actually myself.

"I don't know how to express it either, let's go take a look." Gong Feibai couldn't think of a suitable word to describe it, but the situation was indeed too damn bizarre.

The moonlight is beautiful tonight.

The rolling hills outside the village were shrouded in the hazy moonlight.

From time to time, the calls of unknown birds could be heard; insects in the grass chirped merrily.

The two walked one after the other in the ravine, each carrying a flashlight, their steps uneven.

This area is mostly hilly, with rolling hills that are only about 30 or 40 meters high. There are very few rocky hills; most are earthen hills, so many of them are planted with fruit trees in addition to crops.

“This is it, look.” Gong Feibai stopped in front of a flat area, swung his flashlight around to illuminate a small area. “According to the drone footage, this is clearly a small mound; the terrain is definitely not this flat.”

As he spoke, he stepped on the ground and stomped a few times, saying, "There were no signs of it being disturbed, and the soil hadn't become soft."

But that little mound disappeared and turned into flat ground.

Isn't something very wrong?

The little white kitten huddled up in fear, trembling, and clung to its owner's neck. "Host, is this place haunted? Could there be... zombies or something hiding down there?"

"Feibai, you're very meticulous." After Jiang Chen affirmed this, he stepped on the "mutated" land and found that there was indeed no looseness. "Leave this to me. I guess this shouldn't be a bad thing for us."

Gong Feibai was completely baffled, and even his aloof persona was about to crumble. He kept muttering to himself that something was very wrong.

"Host, how can you be so calm?" The fluffy little thing looked around suspiciously. "Do you know something inside?"

When they returned to the village, most of the people had already gone to rest.

Jiang Chen glanced around and saw that Liang Suogui was absent-minded and lost in thought, while Brother Niu and the others were playing cards by the firelight.

This is almost certainly true—Liang Suogui has awakened his supernatural abilities.

This simple farmer was having a hard time adjusting to his sudden change and was feeling conflicted.

As night deepened, the fires in the village gradually went out.

Chu Han emerged from his hiding place in the distant mountain hollow, observing the dilapidated village with cold eyes.

The cool moonlight enveloped the earth, casting a faint glow on everything in the darkness.

"Damn it!" he cursed under his breath, his eyes filled with resentment and anger.

It's all because of these damned guys, who guard Xiaogang Village day and night without ever slacking off.

I almost got discovered just as I was trying to get close today!

What's even more infuriating is that there's a woman inside who looks exactly like Tang Xueli, the woman Jiang Chen pushed off the train with him!

Chu Han was somewhat unsure.

After all, everyone on the freight train was fleeing a disaster, and they were all dirty and their clothes smelled terrible.

Tang Xueli was clearly a beauty, but her face was dirty and always covered by messy long hair; and I was focused on planning how to steal the jade pendant, so I didn't observe her closely.

The beautiful young woman, who appeared in the small village, was clearly of high status and dressed neatly and smartly.

What he was most unsure about was her temperament!

Tang Xueli, that little girl, was clearly from the village. She huddled on the train the whole time and barely said a word, clearly revealing her inferiority and timidity. On the other hand, the beautiful woman stationed in Xiaogang Village had a superior temperament, was confident and poised, and had an enviable figure. Apart from a slight resemblance in appearance, she was completely different from the other woman.

However, the cautious Chu Han dared not deny it entirely, what if it really was Tang Xueli?

What if she's not dead and has a miraculous encounter where she latches onto a powerful figure? Wouldn't it be suicide for me to rush over there?

"Which one is Liang Suogui?" Chu Han carefully observed with night vision binoculars, but the lookouts were all men who looked like tough guys.

What's more, they were carrying brand-new, high-powered guns, and there were even several machine guns mounted on the high walls.

Apart from the space in the jade pendant he had seized, he had no other means of support.

He didn't awaken any special abilities in his previous life, so he probably won't have any in this one either.

Let alone facing such strong firepower, he wouldn't dare to rush forward even if the opponent only had one gun.

But Chu Han was unwilling to leave just like that.

Of all the plans he's made since his rebirth, only one has succeeded—stealing Jiang Chen's jade pendant.

Everything else went down the drain.

Seeing Liang Suogui so close yet unable to have him was incredibly frustrating!

A cool mountain breeze made Chu Han shiver.

He retreated to the small ravine where he was hiding, thinking he would wait a little longer.

Maybe those awful guys will leave tomorrow!

As long as there is a glimmer of hope, one must not give up easily.

As the summer night sky shifted and the stars moved, the bright light quickly dispelled the darkness and returned to the desolate world.

"what!"

A gasp came from a brick house, making Guo Quanyi, who was cooking, and the others who were washing up tense up.

With the beauty in his arms, Jiang Chen suddenly stood up, and Tang Xueli also quickly jumped up to grab her clothes. "What happened?"

After a series of clanging and clattering sounds, chubby Liang Yong, without his glasses, sporting a messy hairstyle and wearing baggy shorts, burst out of the room and shouted urgently, "Old Gong!"

Just as he rushed out to check the situation, Gong Feibai, who had already conjured a fireball in his hand, suddenly exuded a murderous aura.

"Hey, your surname is so..." The chubby boy jumped back and hurriedly explained, "Listen to me, I have water!"

"No, I already sprayed water!"

"Oh no, I have plenty of water!"

Seeing everyone burst into laughter, their smiles carrying a certain expression, the chubby boy, unable to express himself clearly, became flustered and his face turned red.

"Shut up!" Gong Feibai extinguished the fire in his hand and said coldly, "If you wet the bed, go see Dr. Zhao, she can probably treat it."

"What are you peeing for?" The chubby boy, his face flushed red from holding it in, held out his right hand for him to see.

A water ball the size of a walnut floats in the palm of your hand, spinning rapidly.

"You've awakened a superpower?" Guo Quanyi asked, carrying a large iron shovel used for cooking, his voice filled with surprise, joy, and envy.

The chubby boy chuckled, "It can even spray out!"

As he spoke, the water ball in his palm shattered, and a small stream of water gushed out like a fountain.

Brother Niu, with his protruding belly, walked over and looked at it for a while before commenting, "Pretty practical, but it sprays both cold and hot water?"

She grabbed his chubby hand, adjusted the angle, and let his bald head stick out. "It's a good shower head! Hold on, so I can wash my hair first."

Chapter Twenty-Three: The Unchanged Trajectory

The chubby boy said smugly, "Feibai, bring some fire to heat up Brother Niu."

"With your meager water flow?" Gong Feibai crossed his arms and said aloofly, "I can evaporate it all with just a little flame."

The chubby boy remained smug, "Then I'm a water person too!"

So early in the morning, the whole village gathered around to watch the chubby boy, who had just awakened his water-based superpowers, use him as a showerhead to wash Brother Niu's hair.

"You woke up right after a nap, not bad, not bad." Jiang Chen handed him a handful of colorful crystal cores. "Your water flow is indeed a bit low. Hurry up and absorb the crystal cores to improve your strength."

In contrast, Gong Feibai, who had been half-dead for several days, woke up at a high level, while his water flow was basically just the beginning of his superpower journey.

But as long as there is a continuous supply of crystal cores, the little fat boy's growth will definitely be a great help to the safe base.

Putting aside its combat capabilities, it is extremely useful even just for producing daily water.

Another member of the team has awakened a superpower, and everyone is in high spirits.

Many tattooed men went to consult Gong Feibai and the chubby guy, comparing their situations before awakening to figure out how to gain superpowers.

"Brother, I have something I want to talk to you about." Liang Suogui came to the door hesitantly right after finishing breakfast.

The two walked all the way to a ravine outside the village, where a nervous Liang Suogui placed his hands on the hillside.

In the next second, the soil seemed to come alive, rolling forward in waves, and in less than a minute, it spread out a small, flat area.

"I don't know when I got this ability." He was amazed when he saw other people's superpowers, but when it came to his own, he was a little horrified.

After all, he had never seen anything so outrageous in his limited life!

The little white cat suddenly realized, "So it was him who did it!"

"Your ability is a very special earth-based ability. As long as there is land, you can attack or defend, which is very practical." Jiang Chen congratulated him with a smile, making the honest and simple man scratch his head and chuckle shyly.

"What offense or defense? I can't even argue with someone, let alone fight!" Liang Suogui asked expectantly. "Would having this ability help with building the base?"

"Of course, your skills are extremely important to us!"

Back in the village, Jiang Chen shared his story with everyone, which immediately drew envious exclamations of amazement.

The village chief rubbed his hands together with great joy, "You are our benefactors! Not only did you save the lives of everyone in our village, but you also established a base to protect us, and now you've even given our village superpowers! It's wonderful!"

After sketching a simple outline on the map drawn by Tang Xueli and the others, Jiang Chen assigned tasks and then went alone to the city he had visited yesterday. Today, he needed to continue collecting a large amount of supplies and hopefully find some professional workers who knew about construction.

The others had clear divisions of labor; those who could operate excavators and bulldozers, with Liang Suogui's assistance, leveled the small hill.

Strong young men carried and moved the debris on their shoulders and by hand;

Another group, led by Brother Niu and others, joined the patrol team to keep a close watch on any disturbances in the surrounding area.

"Damn it! What are they doing?" Early in the morning, after Chu Han woke up and had a good meal, he found Xiaogang Village bustling with the sounds of cars and people.

He glanced at it secretly and was immediately stunned.

A group of people dressed in uniform were cutting down trees, chopping firewood, and leveling hills. They were working hard and energetically, and it looked like they were about to start construction!

Chu Han was stunned for a long time.

Remembering that Liang Suogui had built a safe base here in his previous life, his face turned as black as a pig's liver.

"Damn it!" Chu Han punched the earthen hillside, sending a lot of clods of earth crashing down.

Is this a law?

No matter how many twists and turns they go through, the trajectory of these people's previous lives will not change.

I didn't manage to "meet" Gong Feibai and Liang Yong, and I don't know what their life trajectories are like.
