“Hurry up, all of you, hurry! Don’t bother with unnecessary luggage; just bring some food and water. You should be able to return home in two or three days at most,” a soldier was shouting into a megaphone, urging the crowd moving along the road.

These people needed to go to various gathering points, then the vehicles allocated by the municipal department would transport them en masse to designated locations.

At this moment, many people’s faces were filled with panic, being hustled into a trot all the way to the gathering spots.

On the main roads, to prevent traffic congestion, private cars were no longer permitted; instead, there were all sorts of buses, shuttles, and even cargo trucks.

One vehicle after another sped by, and although there were many people, if everyone squeezed a bit, each vehicle could seat at least fifty or sixty people. The evacuation was moving along at a remarkably fast pace.

Beyond this, in places closer to the safe zones, many chose to walk or ride electric scooters there directly.

Zhang He, a young man working in Yang City, was quickly following the crowd with his backpack.

His pocket vibrated once from his phone. Slowing his pace slightly, he took it out only to involuntarily recoil as his forehead veins throbbed.

The content on the screen was from a post he had made an hour ago, predicting the developments that would follow.

Th𝗲 most uptodate novels are published on ƒгeewёbnovel.com.

He had believed the situation was nothing to fear, that the military surely had the capacity to control the situation. In fact, he saw the uprising of the mutated beings as an opportunity for a swift cleanup, anticipating a quick return to calm.

Before the outbreak of the mutated beings, his post had received substantial approval from many people.

However, after a defense line was breached by the Mutated Mice, injuring dozens, his post’s comment section started to fill with sarcastic tones, slowly evolving into a flame war.

Looking at the people mentioning him with their swears and curses, he took a deep breath, trying to calm his emotions.

But… he couldn’t help it and immediately typed a reply below: Eat shit!

Zhang He took a deep breath, pausing to look at a large sign not too far away.

“Defense Line Area, Off-Limits to Unauthorized Personnel!”

He gritted his teeth and walked straight towards it. Before he could get close, a guard came up to stop him.

“We’re building a defense line here, no approaching,” said the soldier.

“I saw on the official website that you’re recruiting logistics soldiers, can I sign up now?” Zhang He asked.

He had thought it through clearly: rather than getting into online squabbles with others, it was better to make a real contribution.

At Zhang He’s words, the stern look on the soldier’s face was replaced with a smile. “Welcome comrade. Head in this direction; there’s a temporary registration point over there.”

In the city, Zhang He was just a small representative, but the number of people standing up at this critical moment was increasing more and more.

It was at this time that several news pieces started trending rapidly with a terrifying speed.

#Superhuman Appears, Controls Explosive Fireballs#

Ye Feng also noticed this news immediately and clicked on it right away.

The news contained a video, showing a man evacuating with a large group of people. As he walked, flames suddenly appeared on his body.

This unexpected scene not only startled the nearby pedestrians, but it also shocked the man himself who frantically tried to put out the flames on his body.

But his expression quickly turned from panic to astonishment, seeming to realize something was amiss. Then he spread his palms, and the flame from his body gathered into his hand, forming a fireball.

He casually manipulated the floating fireball and, on a whim, threw it forward.

When the fireball touched the ground, it exploded instantly. The video showed that the concrete road had been blasted into a hole the size of a bowl.

Of course, more tragically, the recently awakened superhuman was blasted two or three meters away by the fireball he released and crashed heavily onto the ground. Although he didn’t die, he was probably seriously injured.

Beneath this video were a heap of comments filled with envy and jealousy.

Ye Feng did not bother to browse through the comments but instead opened another video of a superhuman.

This time, the video featured a soldier, to be precise, a logistician, who was using a hoe to dig defensive fortifications.

Suddenly, flames enveloped his body, but these flames flowed down his palms and into the hoe.

What was even more miraculous was that the hoe showed no signs of being scorched. Instead, when it dug into the ground again, it suddenly spewed out a massive burst of flames that scorched the earth.

“Is this like an ability to enchant weapons?”

As Ye Feng speculated, he opened the third video.

This time, a woman appeared. A swirl of green light suddenly enveloped her, and as the light intertwined, it quickly formed a set of green vine armor around her.

Beyond these three videos about superhumans, there was also a post that had been pushed to the top of the trending search list.

#Superhumans to Appear on A Large Scale#

Qifan: “Haha, I said that we humans are the chosen children of fate, how could we lose to those mutated beings? Just watch! This is only the beginning, superhumans will definitely appear on a large scale.”

Wanshishunyi: “I only care about when it will be my turn to awaken as a superhuman. If it’s after the flowers have withered, once I become a superhuman, I’ll report to the front lines immediately.”

Qi Tian: “A word of advice to everyone, don’t be blindly optimistic. This is a city of 5 million people, and only a few have awakened? Even if more people awaken later, I feel that at most, we might have around a hundred.”

Further down were arguments, mainly speculations on how many lucky ones would become superhumans next.

However, from the bickering words of the crowd, one could feel that the sense of panic was abating.

“Truly miraculous, why is the evolutionary path of humans completely different from other beings?” Ye Feng couldn’t help but murmur.

Of course, he had no intention of delving deeper into this issue, after all, unless his relatives awakened as superhumans, these matters did not concern him much.

Although those superpowers looked somewhat flashy and their attack power was not weak, Ye Feng could tell that the superhumans’ bodies didn’t seem to have been much enhanced.

This was evident from the superhuman who was blown away by his fireball.

So forget about those who had just become superhumans, even those who had broken through to the Third or Fourth Order wouldn’t be much of a threat to him.

After all, a fragile body is the most fatal flaw.

Ye Feng quickly redirected his attention back to the military.

As time progressed, the contraction of the defense perimeter time and time again did indeed yield fairly noticeable results.

Because in the ensuing half-hour, only two lines of defense encountered problems.

And that was because those two defensive lines hadn’t had time to retreat.

It was clear that this strategy of the military was very successful, and of course, during this process, news of people awakening as superhumans emerged one after another.

But the numbers were not significant; in half an hour, including the previous three, there were only about fifteen in total.

From this, one could see that only a very small portion of people could awaken as superhumans.

Of course, Ye Feng was no longer concerned with these matters at this point, for he could feel that his own breakthrough was about to be complete.

Today there is only one update, partly because I’m stuck on the plot and haven’t figured out how to write the subsequent storyline. The other reason is that I was dragged by my family to do some manual labor.
