Anomaly: I Seek Survival in the Apocalypse

In the year 2048, following the fall of a meteorite to Earth, an unknown gas was emitted. Subsequently, species globally began to mutate, and humanity was no longer at the apex of the food chain. C...

Chapter 197 A Temporary End

I gained two more skills.

Wang Lan looked inward at the C system within her body, her expression a mixture of surprise and delight.

Nan Chen walked over curiously and asked, "What's wrong? And what did you just say? Is that right?"

Wang Lan looked up at Nan Chen, then sprang up with a nimble leap, her movements startling Nan Chen. She stared at Wang Lan in astonishment and asked, "You, you're cured?"

"Yeah, right!" Wang Lan punched himself hard twice in the chest and said, "And look, he's completely fine!"

Nan Chen looked at Wang Lan, whose expression was beyond mere shock. Just a moment ago she looked sickly, but now she was full of energy, completely different from how she had appeared a moment ago.

As expected, those with superpowers are powerful beings.

A rare hint of envy appeared in Nan Chen's eyes. She sighed softly, suddenly feeling somewhat listless. She was already injured, and after walking around for a while, she felt tired. So she wanted to sit down and rest for a while, but as soon as she made a move, she suddenly aggravated her wounds, let out a muffled groan, and lost her balance.

Wang Lan immediately helped her up and laughed, "Haha, I was so happy I almost forgot you're still disabled!"

Nan Chen: "......"

She rolled her eyes at Wang Lan and said, "If you can't speak properly, you can just shut your mouth."

"Do you want to be like me?" Wang Lan asked Nan Chen, "To recover instantly like me."

Nan Chen shook his head and said, "I'm not a superhuman, how could I have such a strong self-healing ability?"

“Not necessarily,” Wang Lan said, then suddenly asked, “A person with superpowers? What is a person with superpowers?”

"Never mind, it's nothing," Nan Chen said. "Let's rest for a while and then continue on our way!"

"Hey, don't be such a spoilsport!" Wang Lan simply sat down next to Nan Chen and said, "Did you notice how I recovered just now?"

Nan Chen thought for a moment and said, "How would I know how you recovered? I just saw you say 'yes' and then crush the crystal and you were completely restored."

At this point, Nan Chen suddenly paused, then realized what was happening and said, "You mean, if we find that crystal again and I crush it, I can also be restored?"

Wang Lan nodded, neither confirming nor denying, "That's right, that's exactly what I mean. Although I'm not sure if you can crush it and it will have the same effect as me, at least we can try. What if you can too!"

"Then what are we waiting for?" Nan Chen asked impatiently. "Let's set off now! Let's see if there are any more stone men."

"Great!" Wang Lan saw a rare hint of joy on Nan Chen's face and laughed, "You really do look quite handsome when you smile like that."

Nan Chen's face immediately turned red.

Seeing her blushing face, which was as pale as paper, Wang Lan found it quite beautiful. After looking at her for a while, Wang Lan clicked his tongue twice and laughed, "Look at your little face, so red. It looks just like the little paper figures used in the rituals before the mutation that I read about in the book."

Nan Chen: "......"

Wang Lan continued, "Luckily it's daytime now. If it were night, I would have been really startled by you!"

Nan Chen was speechless, his veins bulging, and his teeth were grinding together.

"What happened to your head?" Wang Lan asked with feigned concern. "The veins on your forehead are bulging."

"roll!"

Nan Chen finally couldn't hold back any longer.

One sentence left Wang Lan speechless.

He was stunned and speechless, then asked in surprise, "Why are you suddenly cursing at me?"

Nan Chen glared at Wang Lan fiercely, then turned away and refused to look at him again.

Wang Lan...

He still doesn't know what's going on!

......

...

Hope Village.

The defensive battle is still ongoing.

Under the constant bombardment of rockets and cannons, a large number of dead fish and shrimp have surfaced on the surface of the sea on the other side of the mountain. Even so, many sea monsters are still rushing ashore from the sea. The white-armored soldiers have now lost nearly half of their men, which is a truly enormous loss.

Sun Muchen checked his internal magical energy level and found that he now only had half of it left.

The battle continues.

If this continues, we'll eventually be worn down and killed by the ever-appearing sea monsters.

Sun Muchen tore the sea monster in front of him in two. He glanced at the Holy Envoy beside him and found that the Holy Envoy was also covered in blood mist. His once golden robe was now filthy. He was using a machine gun that had run out of bullets to beat the sea monster's corpse in front of him. The corpse had become a bloody mess under his constant blows.

"Enough!"

Sun Muchen shouted, and the Holy Envoy stopped moving, recovering from his bloodthirsty state.

The envoy turned his head and looked at Sun Muchen.

Sun Muchen's face also showed a hint of weariness. She smiled and said, "I really admire you. Even at this critical moment, you are still wearing a long robe and covering your face."

The envoy did not speak, but turned his head away.

But then he heard Sun Muchen speak again, "Can I trust you?"

The envoy seemed taken aback for a moment, then asked, "What do you mean?"

Sun Muchen sighed and said, "This sea monster is endless, we can't kill it all. I think you know something about the sea. Compared to land, the creatures in the sea are much more diverse and complex, far beyond what land creatures can compare to. If we continue like this, the result is obvious, we will definitely lose."
