Chapter 211: Chapter 169 There only needs to be one Superhuman in this world

April 12th, 8:00 a.m.

The first ray of morning sunlight gently brushed across every fatigued yet peaceful face as it streamed through the small window of the shelter. It seemed as if the overnight storm had ceased, leaving only the occasional sound of dripping water droplets outside the window.

Inside the shelter, the air was permeated with a sense of relief and anticipation.

Villagers gradually woke up, some rubbing their sleepy eyes, while others had already begun tidying up their makeshift beds from the night before. The children always seemed to be the first to regain their energy, playing quietly, their occasional laughter like a lively spring that instantly filled the entire space with vitality.

Government workers and volunteers were already busy at work, preparing steaming hot breakfasts—simple porridge and buns, along with a few small side dishes. They weren’t lavish, but they were enough to warm the heart.

Zheng Yuliang, who was by now in no serious condition, lay in bed, teasing Bai Jin with a small pack of dog food that Chen Yun had casually brought from his home yesterday.

Chen Yun, who hadn’t slept all night as he practiced Transparent World Perception and read novels, set his phone aside to get breakfast after it became available.

In the middle of the shelter, crowds of people gathered around the television to watch the morning news, which seemed to be reporting on the typhoon.

Chen Yun, who had gone to get his meal, also found himself unconsciously pausing to look.

However, the people around him consciously made way for him, leaving him an open path direct to the television.

Seeing this,

Chen Yun felt that the punch he delivered yesterday with quick precision, instantly taking out Zheng Dalai, probably had quite a deterrent effect.

Not only had he not seen Zheng Dalai or his son since then, but within the three hundred meters range of his Transparent World Perception, he only saw the father and son getting their meal and then retreating to a corner, daring not to wander around anymore.

The surrounding villagers who had witnessed the scene yesterday also seemed to have developed a subconscious respect for him.

Chen Yun couldn’t have cared less.

Instead, he focused on the news being broadcast on the television.

"Last night, this year’s second typhoon, Haima, suddenly changed course to make landfall in the eastern coastal areas of our country, bringing a period of strong winds and heavy rain. However, according to the latest meteorological updates, Haima has once again abruptly altered its course this morning, veering in the northeast direction, and is gradually moving away from our country’s coastline, currently heading toward Japan."

"The typhoon Haima’s landfall has significantly affected the areas along its path, including strong winds, heavy rains, potential flooding, and geological disasters. The relevant departments have swiftly responded, activating emergency plans, and are actively engaged in rescue and recovery efforts to ensure the safety of people’s lives and property. Additionally, transportation in many coastal areas has been impacted, with some flights cancelled, and rail and sea transport temporarily suspended, which are now gradually returning to normal."

"As Haima changes direction toward Japan, the weather conditions in our country’s eastern coastal regions are expected to ease, but citizens are still advised to stay alert to subsequent weather warning information to prevent secondary disasters. For friends in Japan, we remind you to closely monitor the typhoon updates from the local meteorological department and make appropriate precautions."

"We will continue to monitor the latest developments of Haima and its impact on the areas along its path, bringing you the latest reports. Thank you for watching and wish you..."

Watching the news about Typhoon Haima leaving,

the crowd let out relieved sighs, knowing they might likely be able to return home today.

Though they lacked the experience of the provinces near the Eastern South Sea, the eastern coastal regions still held some experience with typhoons.

They understood that, under the current circumstances, they would probably be able to go back today to start post-disaster reconstruction and resume production.

After watching the news, Chen Yun also nodded silently to himself, satisfied, and turned to leave.

It had to be said,

Hua Country had a sort of destiny when it came to avoiding typhoons.

Typhoon Nate in 1991, Typhoon Lily in 2001, Typhoon Hornet in 2014, Typhoon Yanyan in 2018, Typhoon Lekima in 2019, Typhoon Canthara in 2021, Typhoon Mawa in 2023...

Without exception, all stopped upon reaching Hua Country, then made a ninety-degree turn heading straight for Japan.

This once made the international online community wonder if Hua Country possessed a Wind Control Technique or some sort of National Protection Array, or other bizarre existences.

Of course,

in reality, changes in the paths of typhoons are determined by various natural factors, including but not limited to atmospheric circulation, the position of subtropical highs, ocean temperatures, and are not a result of human manipulation. Although some years did see a series of typhoons that appeared to "bypass" Hua Country and head straight for Japan, this is a natural phenomenon and there is no scientific basis for the existence of "Wind Control Technique."

Thinking about this,

Chen Yun couldn’t help but let his thoughts wander somewhat.

If this world truly had National Protection Arrays and Wind Control Techniques and other such strange things, what kind of news would that be for him?

Chen Yun thought it would probably not be good news.

The existence of such things would mean that supernatural phenomena exist in this world, which could also imply the possible existence of Superpower Users, Cultivators, and the like.

He did not wish for that.

It would mean many things would become out of control, making the future unpredictable.

While Chen Yun always said the human world was becoming boring and losing its challenge for him,

that was just talk.

It did not mean he wished for supernatural beings to emerge beyond his expectations.

People yearn for excitement, but they cannot live without stability.

Chen Yun, too, hoped the world would not have such unstable factors.

He would rather perpetually face the boredom of only challenging the forces of nature rather than contending with superhuman strength emerging among humankind.

That made the cautious Chen Yun feel uneasy.

He wasn’t afraid.

He just felt it was best if there were no possible threats at all.

One Superhuman was enough.

..........

By twelve noon.

After everyone had finished lunch, the shelter began organizing vehicles to take people back.

According to the shelter’s officials, the city regarded them highly and had sent people to clear the debris and restore the basic infrastructure that morning.

Objects blocking the roads, such as fallen trees, utility poles, mud, and trash, had been mostly cleared away to make way for rescue vehicles and supplies.

Most importantly, professionals had urgently repaired the damaged water and electricity supply, communication lines, and roads, ensuring basic living needs.

Finally, professionals also conducted house inspections. They had already carried out safety evaluations on the houses, checking for structural damages, such as broken roofs or wall cracks.

Ensuring that most houses were safe and without hidden dangers.

Those with potential hazards were called aside for a discussion and decided to stay in the shelter for a while longer.

The rest, confirmed to have houses without hidden dangers, were all ready to get on the vehicles arranged by the shelter, returning to the fishing village that had settled down.

Before departure.

The person in charge of the shelter issued some final instructions to everyone via loudspeaker.

"Everyone should check the fish farms, ponds, and cages and other fishing facilities when you get back, tally the losses of fish and other aquatic products, and evaluate whether the breeding environment has been polluted; conduct water quality testing and purification if necessary."

"If you wish to apply for assistance and claims, you can contact the relevant departments through the community service center, where you can report losses, apply for government subsidies, insurance claims, or other assistance to mitigate financial losses."

"In addition, after returning, the community service center will organize psychological counseling and support services, so please show your support."

After this lengthy talk, the shelter manager decisively instructed the volunteers and staff to begin assisting and guiding the shelter’s residents to leave.

Volunteers, wearing eye-catching fluorescent green vests with "Rescue" printed on them, moved among the crowd, holding megaphones and guiding everyone with clear, calm voices, ensuring that anyone who needed help received timely attention.

The bus quietly parked by the shelter’s entrance, its large size seeming remarkably gentle, like a Noah’s Ark about to embark, bearing people’s hopes for safety and a new life. The bus doors were wide open, with anti-slip mats laid on the steps, with every detail carefully considered for the safety of the elderly, children, and those with mobility issues.

People lined up orderly under the guidance of volunteers, waiting to board. Families held hands, adults carrying luggage on their shoulders, children clutching their most cherished toys, their eyes reflecting both the anxiety of the unknown and a flicker of excitement for the journey ahead. The elderly slowly advanced step by step with the help of volunteers.

Under the arrangement of the volunteers and staff, everyone packed up their belongings in an orderly manner and left the shelter to head towards the waiting buses.

Since typhoons had wreaked havoc in various places, many buses had been diverted away in the early morning hours.

So even though a few households remained in the shelter, there still weren’t enough buses, requiring everyone to squeeze in.

Chen Yun and Zheng Yuliang boarded a bus that was already full, under the arrangement of the volunteers, becoming the last two to board.

The bus, which had been filled with all sorts of discussion,

Seemed to instantly quieten down after Chen Yun carrying a dog and Zheng Yuliang boarded.

Chen Yun looked around.

The seats on the entire bus were full, and the luggage was packed tight.

Considering that Zheng Yuliang had just recovered and still seemed a bit weak,

Chen Yun was pondering whether the dog’s crate was sturdy enough to serve as a bench for Zheng Yuliang.

When he saw that many people in the bus had left their seats and were looking at Chen Yun with a self-aware expression.

Their looks seemed to say, "Please, take a seat!"

Although these people’s attitude wasn’t quite reverent, their eyes were filled with awe.

Chen Yun’s punch that instantly took down Zheng Dalai last night was to him nothing more than an idle squashing of an ant.

However, it clearly left a profound impression on all the witnesses.

Zheng Yuliang was bemused by the sight, never having experienced such a scene before.

Chen Yun also fell silent.

Damn, have I become the village bully?

Could it be that after knocking out the previous bully with one punch, I could inherit this bizarre title and position?

What kind of third-rate online game setting is this?

Indeed, no matter the circumstances, violence is always one of the most useful methods.
