After Death, I Became a Superhuman

Chapter 43 – Superhuman Crisis

Many people feel that the power of Superman can be summarized in five words: great strength, miraculous results. His extraordinary strength makes everything he does seem effortless.

While this applies in many situations, it is not always the case. In fact, for someone with superhuman strength, control is much more difficult than being powerful. In the eyes of ordinary people, even the simplest application of his abilities requires extensive observation, calculation, training, and consideration of the consequences.

When you can easily destroy the world, every small movement must be carefully thought out and the consequences must be anticipated.

This is what Jiang Bei is trying to learn.

In a short period of time, he found the best angle and made sure that all civilians who could be affected by the collapse were evacuated to a safe distance.@@@@

This approach was learned from the most classic Superman movie of the last century. At that time, Superman had not yet unlocked his freezing breath and managed floods in a similar way. What he needed to do was exert the right amount of force in the most suitable place.

Then, he punched with all his might.

People heard a thunderous roar that overshadowed even the dull thunder. The earth began to shake, and the loud noise echoed in the silent valley.

Under countless gazes, the entire mountain collapsed like a row of dominoes. Debris and rocks scattered in the valley, and a large number of boulders tumbled down like a long-awaited ambush, intercepting the raging flood.

A large amount of shattered rocks quickly piled up into an insurmountable wall, and the arrogant water was instantly stopped in its tracks. It roared in frustration, repeatedly crashing against the newly formed dam.

Everyone's eyes widened.

Especially the employees in the control room. Unlike those who speculated about the actual situation while watching the collapsing mountain, they had just witnessed Superman flying into a certain part of the mountain, followed by a dull roar.

What kind of divine power is this!?

Indeed, this kind of strength that can resist nature seems like divine power.

Words cannot describe the impact of this scene, only the soul can feel the horror. It is like ancient people witnessing Hou Yi shooting down nine suns with his bow, or Gong Gong, the water god, angrily colliding with Mount Buzhou, causing the earth to crack.

People living in the information age could never have dreamed of experiencing the awe and trembling that the ancients felt when witnessing miracles.

"Well, in the game, it's different from real life. You can't see through walls. Ordinary people shouldn't be able to see someone behind a wall..." Jiang Bei patiently explained.

Xiao Qi felt frustrated, thinking that the game character she controlled was ridiculously weak and unrealistic. Not being able to see through walls was one thing, but even jumping from a slightly higher place would result in death, which made no sense and defied logic.

"Oh!"

She suddenly exclaimed, almost causing Jiang Bei to crash.

"What's wrong?"

"Southeast direction, 7.5 kilometers, fast."

Without any further explanation, she reported a set of coordinates. Jiang Bei didn't ask for more details, as he had confidence in his superhuman girl's eyes. He immediately turned around, broke the sound barrier with a bang, and headed towards the direction she indicated.

After arriving in the nearby area, he decelerated and hovered in mid-air, looking around.

Yingge Town, Jiang Bei had heard of this place before, but he had never been here. It was one of the more popular summer tourist destinations in the Eastern Continent, attracting a constant stream of visitors from all over the continent every year.

At this point, the streets were relatively quiet, with most of the shops on both sides already closed. At the corner bar, a few young people were chatting casually, the slightly noisy music faintly audible. There were still some late-night diners in the restaurant by the street. On a small hill not far away, a few people were climbing the viewing platform, seemingly wanting to enjoy the night view of the town.

It was a picture of peace and tranquility, not at all like a situation that required Superman to handle.

"Uh... are you sure it's here?" Jiang Bei began to doubt, "Because it really doesn't look like there's anything going on here..."

"Over there, that's the one!"

Xiao Qi shared her view. Jiang Bei saw a shop along the street that was about to close, its signboard advertising a local specialty called "Pear Blossom Cake". Xiao Qi's gaze was firmly locked on the semi-transparent, crystal-clear cakes in the glass counter, and Jiang Bei could even hear the sound of her drooling.

"Hurry up, I want to eat that!" Xiao Qi clamored, "If you don't hurry up, they'll close!"

Jiang Bei: "..."
