A superhuman!
When Sha Si and Zhang Jian heard Nan Chen utter the name, they were immediately stunned.
They were not unfamiliar with the name; in fact, they were quite familiar with it.
Because Tomorrow City contains a wealth of records about the world before the cataclysm, and descriptions of people with superpowers are numerous.
Those were decades before the anomaly, during which superhumans appeared in this world and made a significant impact.
Before the anomaly occurred, people with superpowers participated in maintaining world order and also explored extraterrestrial civilizations. When Sassa and others were still young, they admired people with superpowers.
The various superpowers of the superhumans have always been the divine skills that Sassa and his friends have always dreamed of.
Superhumans can unleash extremely high-temperature flames that can ignite everything.
It can also run faster than the speed of light.
There's also the ability to materialize anything; with just a thought, you can create anything you want.
There are even accounts in the records of superhumans fighting alongside "gods".
When the apocalypse arrived and global order was on the verge of collapse, people with superpowers also joined the battle to save the world. However, there are very few records about this, only mentioning that it was an unprecedented catastrophe. People with superpowers mobilized in all directions and spread to all parts of the world. However, the severity of this catastrophe far exceeded any time that people with superpowers had ever faced.
This is a devastating disaster!
While superhumans are powerful, the mutated monsters are even more powerful and numerous, far exceeding the number of superhumans by thousands, tens of thousands, or even hundreds of millions of times.
The superhumans were gradually defeated.
They were pounced upon and devoured by enormous, invincible beasts.
They were devoured by an overwhelming swarm of insects that appeared from some unknown corner, leaving not even bones behind.
They were attacked by strange, mutated plants, their hands and feet were severed, and their bodies were corroded by the strong acid they released.
Bad news kept coming, and the crisis gradually intensified.
In the end, all the superhumans who participated in the battle against the apocalypse were wiped out!
With this, superhumans became a thing of the past.
It became part of the texts recorded in historical books.
But their yearning for those with superpowers remains undiminished.
As the most powerful beings on Earth in the past, they have now become an enigma, and the authenticity of historical records is impossible to verify. Sha Si and others grew up watching events about people with superpowers. Although the descriptions of people with superpowers are fantastical and ethereal, they still hold hope for these powerful people with superpowers.
They believe that superhumans might actually exist, and that superhumans are indeed powerful, but they lack allies.
Therefore, they strictly demand of themselves from a young age, not hoping to one day possess superpowers, but only hoping to become stronger and stronger, strong enough to fight alongside superpowered individuals when they encounter them one day!
So when Nan Chen mentioned the possibility that Wang Lan might be a superhuman, the two were initially shocked, but then their eyes lit up.
"Are you telling the truth?" Sasa asked again. "Absolutely? You saw that kid suddenly accelerate and move in an instant?"
"I'm absolutely sure!"
Nan Chen nodded emphatically, his tone unwavering.
"It's teleportation!"
Zhang Jian immediately said, "I remember it clearly too. Moving positions in an instant, isn't that teleportation!"
Sachs's breathing quickened instantly. "If he really is a superhuman, then we must bring him safely back to Tomorrow City! Maybe he'll make history!"
"No, he must be a superhuman!" At this moment, Nan Chen seemed to suddenly remember something and said, "I remember that the venom sprayed by the millipede is highly corrosive, and its blood must also be corrosive. And at the moment of the explosion, the millipede's blood and flesh splattered directly all over Wang Lan!"
But he was unharmed!
Sha Si took over the conversation, then turned to look at the people in the river, and finally locked onto Wang Lan's figure.
Wang Lan had also washed herself clean and gotten ashore.
He first glanced at the Holy Envoy's direction, then urged the people of Hope Village to hurry ashore and not waste any time.
Li Shuo finished washing up and got ashore. He put his arm around Wang Lan's shoulder and laughed, "Brother, you're in good shape. Although the millipede's blood wasn't as corrosive as its venom, some of it that splashed on me almost burned a hole in my clothes. But you, with blood all over your face, are perfectly fine."
Wang Lan frowned as he listened. Li Shuo's words reminded him of the stench of millipede blood. The terrifying memory flooded back, as if the stench was emanating from his nose again. Wang Lan quickly gritted his teeth to suppress the nausea and vomiting. He hurriedly changed the subject, saying, "Okay, okay, let's not talk about this anymore. Go ask your teammates where we should go next!"
"Hahaha! Great!"
Li Shuo patted Wang Lan on the shoulder, put his arm around him, and walked towards Sha Si and the others.
Wang Lan nodded to Sha Si and Zhang Jian, then looked at Nan Chen and asked, "Are you alright?"
Nan Chen was taken aback. "Huh?"
Wang Lan asked, "Did the millipede's blood splatter on you just now?"
"I'm fine." Nan Chen shook his head and replied calmly, then walked to the side, found a tree to lean against, and sat down.
Sha Si smiled and said, "Don't mind her, Mr. Wang. That's just Nan Chen's personality. By the way, what should we do next? Do you have any plans?"
"oh oh?"
Wang Lan asked curiously, "What plan do I have? I don't know anything about this mysterious forest, so what plan could I possibly have? Don't you all know a little about it?"
