Chapter 22 Can You Act Like a Human Being?

“健哥,there’s a big truck coming over there.”

On the roadside in the early morning, four young people were staggering forward, thirsty and hungry, trying to see if any of the vehicles that were stopping erratically had supplies.

The one called "Jian-ge" was a young man named Wang Jian, about twenty-five or six years old. Hearing this, he turned his head and saw that it was indeed a large truck, and his face lit up with joy.

Wang Jian waved his hand and said, "Stop him."

The other three immediately agreed and began to fantasize.

"That big truck must be loaded with something, maybe a whole truckload of instant food."

"A truckload of watermelons would be nice, quenching our thirst and satisfying our hunger. Other fruits would be good too."

"Even if it's not supplies, my uncle is a driver, and I know that truck drivers always have cases of mineral water, marinated eggs, marinated chicken legs, biscuits, and other snacks on their trucks."

Hearing this, the four of them felt even hungrier.

"Jian-ge, if he doesn't stop, we'll have to use your power to puncture his tires."

The other two echoed, looking at Wang Jian with some fear and envy.

Wang Jian had awakened his superpower last night. He suddenly discovered that he could control metal. At first, he thought he could control anything, but after experimenting, he realized that he could only control metal.

The few people next to him discovered this and were dumbfounded.

Superpower?

They had no idea that survivors would awaken their superpowers, some sooner and some later, within half a month.

This was the kind of treatment only the protagonist in a novel would have.

They had to cling to this lifeline. Wang Jian, who was originally ordinary and had a low status, suddenly became Jian-ge to the other three.

Wang Jian was also extremely proud. *I am destined for greatness, and this world will soon submit to my feet.*

Many superpowered people become arrogant after awakening their powers, thinking they are more important than anyone else. Wang Jian was not an exception.

With Wang Jian's approval, the three immediately stood in the middle of the road to block the truck, while Wang Jian stood on the side of the road, acting like a boss.

This big truck was Chen Luo's heavy truck.

"Stop! Stop for me!"

Faced with the shouts of this group of people, Chen Luo smiled lightly. *If you're not afraid of death, then keep blocking the road.*

Chen Luo didn't slow down at all, just like before.

Facing the rapidly moving truck, the three of them certainly didn't dare to forcibly block it and began to curse.

Wang Jian's face was gloomy. *So you're not giving me any face?*

Wang Jian, prepared in advance, took out a long and sharp iron nail and used his metal superpower to control the nail, quickly stabbing it toward the rear tire of the heavy truck.

The punctured rear tire immediately began to leak air.

Chen Luo only felt the truck body sway for a moment and was stunned. *What's going on?*

Chen Luo had to stop the vehicle to see what was happening.

Seeing Chen Luo slow down and stop, Wang Jian and the other three showed smug expressions and quickly ran over.

Two of them opened Chen Luo's truck compartment without saying a word.

Wang Jian then came to the window with a fierce look and slammed hard on the window.

"Didn't you hear me telling you to stop?"

"Run! Keep running and show me!"

Before the apocalypse, Wang Jian was not so arrogant. After awakening his superpower in the apocalypse, coupled with the flattery of his three underlings, he had become overly inflated.

"Get out of the car, don't pretend to be dead."

Chen Luo looked at Wang Jian in amazement. *Did this kid damage my car?*

Chen Luo was furious. *If the car is broken, how am I going to get home?*

There were still more than ninety kilometers to go home, and without this heavy truck, the road home would be very dangerous.

Ordinary cars couldn't travel freely in the city.

At this time, the two underlings who opened the truck compartment were greatly disappointed. The compartment was empty.

They shouted, "Jian-ge, damn it, there's nothing here."

Hearing this, Wang Jian was disappointed and even more angry, and he roared, "Get out of the car!"

Chen Luo was trembling with anger. *This sneaky bastard!*

Opening the car window, Chen Luo slammed a condensed spatial orb hard on Wang Jian's face.

Unable to dodge, Wang Jian was hit squarely.

The spatial orb exploded on Wang Jian's face.

Wang Jian let out a miserable scream, his face was blown into a bloody mess, the skin of his entire face was gone, and he immediately fell unconscious.

Wang Jian never expected that besides him, there would be others who had mastered superpowers. *I am the protagonist!*

Faced with this sudden change, the other three immediately fled in terror.

*Isn't Jian-ge the protagonist? How could he die?*

Chen Luo patted Fa Wang's butt, and Fa Wang jumped out of the car, understanding his intentions, and chased after the three.

Barely calming down his anger, Chen Luo explained, "Da Zhu, it's not that I'm ruthless, but if we were just ordinary people, what consequences do you think would happen if we fell into their hands in this situation?"

On the third day of the apocalypse, Su Dazhu didn't have a deep experience of the apocalypse, so Chen Luo specially explained it.

The remaining three quickly died under Fa Wang's pursuit.

Chen Luo's anger subsided slightly, and he felt a little better.

But even if the anger subsided, the car was still broken and couldn't be repaired.

Chen Luo and Su Dazhu got out of the car and observed the situation. They quickly discovered that one of the tires had been punctured, and the air had completely leaked out, flattening the tire.

*Where can you find someone to repair a tire in this wilderness?*

There was no other way. Chen Luo took out his study materials and became self-reliant.

In addition to copying a large number of movies, novels, and games, Chen Luo also copied a lot of study materials.

Ahem, real study materials, including planting, circuits, agriculture, biology, medicine, and other aspects.

He copied as many study materials as he could find on the market.

With the help of the study materials, Chen Luo spent a lot of effort with Su Dazhu to repair the tire.

Fortunately, there were various tools in the superpower space.

Chen Luo curled his lips. *I've gained another skill.*

Just as he was about to set off again, Chen Luo remembered that Wang Jian's crystal had not been collected yet.

Superpowered survivors also have crystals, and their effects are much better than those of zombies.

Therefore, after the apocalypse, for survivors, the schemes from humans are far more terrible than zombies.

Wang Jian had just awakened, and his crystal effect was much better than the lowest-level zombies, but its effect was not so great.

It wasn't until three o'clock in the afternoon that Chen Luo arrived home, without having eaten lunch.

After eating a hearty meal, Chen Luo lazily stretched.

Looking at the messy table, Chen Luo looked at Fa Wang. *It would be great if you knew how to wash dishes.*

Fa Wang, who was being looked at by Chen Luo, felt his chrysanthemum tighten. *Can't you act like a human?*
