After Death, I Became a Superhuman

Many things often happen without much warning.

This should have been just an ordinary day in Changhebin Town. Shop owners opened their doors early, preparing to welcome customers. People in the grocery store were discussing their daily lives. Workers arrived at the factory workshops early to start their work, and the sound of children's clear reading echoed on the campus.

Until this evening.

In the afternoon, dark clouds suddenly covered the sky, and the dense water vapor seemed unusual. The thunder and lightning made people uneasy. The dam in Changhebin Town was like a silent stone dragon, built against the mountain, intercepting the surging river water and protecting the people for decades.

A thousand-mile embankment collapsed due to an ant hole.

No one knows what the initial ant hole was, but with a deafening sound, the situation instantly rushed onto the out-of-control expressway. The river water, like a wild beast trapped in an iron cage, finally broke through after decades of struggle. Tons of water surged out, broke through the dam's defense line, and rushed violently towards the town below.

The flood quickly occupied the streets, and streetlights and utility poles were knocked down. The tall houses were pitch black, and through the remaining lights, one could see the surging water violently impacting the streets, and the rolling waves rushing towards the crowds.

"Quick, come up!"

A father climbed onto the roof and handed his hand to the children below.

The first floor of this small house had already been occupied by the flood. Furniture and appliances were carried away by the water, flowing into the street.

The mother climbed onto the roof last. The parents and a pair of siblings, a family of four, all gathered here. The flood had already reached the staircase, and it was almost about to reach the second floor.

"It's okay, we'll be fine."

The mother hugged the two children tightly, as if afraid that they would be washed away by the flood if she let go.

"The water won't rise this high. Someone will come to rescue us soon, everything will be fine..."

She quickly realized that her voice was trembling as she spoke.

The father remained silent, but he stood at the edge of the house, looking into the distance, his eyebrows almost twisted together.

The sky poured down heavy rain, making the situation even worse. Thunder twisted in the sky, and the hurricane, accompanied by water pressure, uprooted the trees. In such weather, he couldn't maintain optimism about the arrival of rescue.

Their situation was also getting worse and worse. Changhebin Town was like a sink with a blocked drain, and the water tap was pouring water into it relentlessly. The demon of water roared beneath their feet, rising inch by inch. In no time, it had already flooded the beds on the second floor.@@novelbin@@

Debris from trees and vehicles floated around them, ruthlessly crashing into the old houses. This rooftop was their only place to take refuge, like an orphaned island in the storm, and beneath the island was a bottomless hell.

"We'll be fine... nothing will happen..."

The mother held the two children tightly, but her voice became smaller and smaller. The fear of despair spread, and tears or the pouring rain blurred her vision.

Even the two children vaguely realized the fate that awaited them.

Now, the only thing that could save them was a miracle.

And then, a miracle appeared.

Deep blue, high above, fluttering a fiery red flag... a miracle.

Like an oasis in the desert, a spark suddenly burst out in the darkness, making people involuntarily reach out their hands in prayer.

He descended, lowering his altitude, with a reassuring smile on his face. The pouring rain and storm beat against him, but they couldn't shake him even a bit.

"Anyone want a ride?" he asked with a smile.

"..."

After placing the family of four in a safe camp away from the flood, Jiang Bei waved to the crowd with complex expressions and accelerated away.

"Was that the last few?"

"Yes," Xiao Qi replied.

"Good, now we just have some water management issues left... any suggestions?"

"Well... if it were me, I would just blow air to freeze the river."

"But I can't do that..."

Although Jiang Bei had previously tried to blow back the exploding flames with a breath, it relied purely on his lung capacity and strong blowing force, rather than the classic "freezing breath" skill of Superman. He hadn't learned how to exhale and freeze things.

"Well, I know that," Xiao Qi said seriously, "so it seems like you have to improvise."

Jiang Bei: "..."

The central control room of the Changhebin Dam had long been on the verge of madness.

As soon as the alarm bell rang, everyone's nerves reflexively tightened. The temperature and pressure on the screen went crazy, almost synchronizing with the control personnel's blood pressure.In the moment of losing control, the walls of the control room cracked open. Water poured down from the crevices in the ceiling, like a raging waterfall from the sky, each droplet carrying a tremendous momentum.

Some people hastily patched up waterproof suits to block the cracks, while others tried to control the massive machinery to salvage the situation. The equipment in the control room was soaked in the rising river water, and the staff were squeezed together.

It can be hard to make great work when its stolen from ".

"Block the crack for me, make sure no more water comes in!" The supervisor commanded from the dam, "Xiao Wang, I need the deformation situation of the dam body, give me the monitoring data from the central control center, and block the gate of Pump Room 4. First, we have to stop the expansion... we have to... have to..."

His gaze drifted outside the window, his mouth opened, but he was momentarily speechless.

"...Did anyone see that?"

The bustling crowd involuntarily stopped and followed his gaze.

Then they saw that figure.

A blue figure, a red cape, a character that had become known to everyone in the world in just half a month.

"Is that... Superman!?" someone exclaimed in surprise.

"I've seen the videos, he's very strong... but that's not going to help in this situation, right?"

Human strength has its limits, and even the strongest power is helpless in the face of natural disasters.

Could he possibly punch the flood back?

"What is he doing?"

"..."

X-ray vision, a new skill that Jiang Bei had just unlocked. Of course, although it was named this way, it was not the same as the medical X-rays people usually refer to.

The name was given simply because it had a similar penetrating effect to X-rays, but it was far more powerful and realistic. And it was not limited to seeing through objects, it also had night vision, infrared imaging, structural scanning, and many other functions.

For example, Jiang Bei was now using structural scanning.

Enhanced vision helped him scan and analyze the overall structure of the mountain next to the river, and he precisely marked all the suitable strike points in the built-in screen.

So, the people saw Superman floating in the heavy rain for a while, looking around as if searching for something. Then, suddenly, he flew down, leaving them wondering what he was up to.

"The Superman from the old movies would definitely do something like this."

Jiang Bei landed on the side of the mountain and raised his fist.

"Now I just need to control my strength..."

Boom!!!

With one punch—

—the mountain crumbled.

The expressions of everyone in the control room exploded.

It was as if they had witnessed a miracle.
