I get stronger by sunbathing, just like Superman.

There was an unpleasant smell permeating the air.

These more than one hundred survivors have been hiding here for a month.

During this period, due to the scarcity of food and water, coupled with the harsh environment, people continued to die.

That little girl was just one of them.

Her departure caused no ripples in the crowd, only adding to the already lifeless atmosphere of the carriage.

In fact, if they hadn't met Ah Cai and Elena,

These people have long since died somewhere outside, or were captured and devoured by the Parademons.

Now, with the death toll rising and food and water becoming increasingly scarce,

These people are basically in a state of waiting to die.

The outside world was teeming with roaming Parademons, and apart from Ah Cai and Elena, no one dared to venture out.

Previously, there was a guy who couldn't stand this passive waiting for death, so he incited the crowd to follow him out to find a way to survive.

In the end, he persuaded dozens of people to go out with him.

Until one day, Ah Cai went out to find food for everyone, and on his way back he brought that guy back with him.

At that time, he only had half a body left.

But he is still alive.

Ah Cai thought that if he brought him back, people would find a way to save him.

In its eyes, humans, though not as fast as it can run and cannot fly, are...

But it is still a very powerful existence.

What it couldn't understand was that, apart from Elena trying to save him, everyone else just stood by and watched coldly.

Until he breathed his last.

It then realized that not all humans are as kind and strong as Elena.

But even she has limited options.

Elena was the only survivor of that great battle, but she was also severely injured and had almost no fighting ability left. She has not yet fully recovered.

The people here can only rely on Ah Cai to keep them alive.

But Ah Cai was also getting weaker day by day. Several times it came back with injuries, and the recovery period was becoming longer and longer.

Although everyone saw it all, there was nothing they could do but silently mourn their impending fate.

at last,

Some people could not tolerate the status quo.

The second carriage,

After finishing his last cigarette, a burly, bald man threw the butt on the ground and stubbed it out with the sole of his shoe.

His gaze then turned to the depths of the third carriage.

Then he strode over.

He rudely pushed his way through the crowd, showing no regard for their feelings.

He eventually stopped in front of Elena and Ah Cai at the end of the carriage.

Elena, wrapped in a dirty, tattered blanket, huddled in the corner, her eyes lowered and motionless.

Although Ah Cai noticed the man's arrival, he only slightly raised his eyelids before closing them again, ignoring him.

The man licked his lips, hesitated for a moment, then, as if making up his mind, said loudly:

You have to do something!

If this continues, we will all die here!

Aren't you a superhero?

Go and eliminate all those monsters outside! Let us get out!

The man's voice was loud, and as soon as he finished speaking, he attracted the attention of many people.

But no one came forward; they just watched from a distance.

Upon hearing this, Elena slowly opened her eyes, glanced at him, then lowered her head again without speaking.

If anyone noticed her expression,

You'll notice a hint of guilt in her eyes.

At this moment, Ah Cai stood up, shook his head, and stood guard in front of Elena.

It then bared its sharp canines at the man and let out threatening growls from its throat.

The man involuntarily took a few steps back.

He knew exactly what this dog was capable of.

However, remembering that it had never harmed ordinary people, he mustered his courage and continued:

"If all else fails, you can send Manny out to kill all those monsters..."

At least we need to clear out the monsters from New York City so we can find our own way to survive.

I no longer need your protection.

As he spoke, he glanced back at the crowd behind him and continued:

"Moreover, we have doctors among us. If we can get out, we might be able to heal your injuries."

"Feel sorry…"

Elena, who had been silent, finally spoke. She first glanced at Ah Cai in front of her, then reached out and gently stroked its back.

Ah Cai, who had been on guard, relaxed and curled up next to her again.

She looked at the man again and continued:

"I can't agree to that..."

"Why!?" The man's emotions surged instantly, and he shouted, "Are you just going to watch us all die here?"

What kind of superhero are you?

Elena calmly shook her head.

"I can't take the risk,"

If something happens to Manny, the people here will truly have no hope of survival.

And I…

As she spoke, her body slowly floated into the air, level with the man's gaze, and the blanket on her body slid off.

Her entire body was revealed.

The man's gaze moved downwards, noticing that her body was covered in blood-stained bandages, but her lower body was bare.

Only half of his left arm remained.

And half of her face, hidden in her silver hair,

It was completely charred black.

The man swallowed hard, not only taking a few steps back again, but also feeling a chill run down his spine.

Even a superhero would find it hard to imagine that this woman could survive for months without food or water under such circumstances.

Is that human being?

The people in the back carriages shared the same thoughts as the man.

Some mothers, unable to bear seeing this, covered their children's eyes with their hands.

After Elena noticed, she slowly landed on the ground and used her only remaining right hand to cover herself with the fallen blanket again.

"I don't have much strength left..."

Therefore, I cannot agree to your request.

Because I'm waiting for someone to come back..."

The man, still reeling from what had just happened, immediately asked upon hearing this:

"Who are you waiting for?"

Elena shook her head slightly, offering no reply. She didn't want to explain herself to this complete stranger.

I also wanted to tell him that I wasn't a superhero, but just happened to have the same abilities as them...

But what's the point of telling him all this?

He doesn't understand anything.

The man clenched his teeth, about to turn and leave, but then seemed somewhat unwilling, so he turned back and said:

"No matter what, you at least have to get us enough food and water."
