After Death, I Became a Superhuman

The dark gray shuttle-shaped drone flew through the sea, and the independent propeller emitted a buzzing sound.

"The reconnaissance drone 'Eagle Eye' has arrived at the target sea area. Everything is normal for now."

The commissioner of Sky Eye controlled the drone remotely in the camp, and the footage was transmitted synchronously to the camp screen. Jian Hao from the Tianyan Changhe branch stood behind, arms crossed, staring at the monitor.

The wind and waves had decreased significantly, and the sea gradually calmed down. From the drone's perspective, it looked like a layered oil painting, with different colors intersecting on the sea surface. The deep blue sea reflected the sky, and the white waves surged.

The drone lowered its altitude, leaving a white water mark with its vibrations. Bright light followed the spinning propeller, adding a touch of vitality.

"Stay focused." Jian Hao said, "We are certain that there is something fishy in this area. The only remaining question is what exactly it is."

"Maybe it's just abnormal weather." The assistant said.

Jian Hao shook his head, "Abnormal weather is always related to the transcendent. You can't rely on luck in this line of work. Continue the patrol."

"Wait, it seems like there's a discovery. Eagle Eye has found a strange island that has never been noticed before."

Soon, everyone saw the existence of that island. It stood in the middle of the sea like a lonely hunter with a dim filter, staring at every passing prey with hungry eyes.

"Wait, something's not right. This can't be, this is..."

The young operator's face was full of astonishment, and his eyebrows were furrowed.

"But this can't be?" Jian Hao asked.

The operator turned his head in confusion, "That island, it's...floating."

"Huh?"

At that moment, almost no one understood the meaning of this sentence.

But the next moment, they all understood.

No instruments were needed, no readings were required, just with their own eyes, the most simple, direct, and soul-shaking way.

The island was floating. No, it should be said that it was flying.

Many people rubbed their eyes to confirm that they were not mistaken.

What kind of strange natural phenomenon was this?

What kind of power could make this thing fly?

Does such power really exist in this planet, whether it be transcendent or technology?

And then, when the drone carried the camera and flew to the bottom of the island.

Oh, Superman, it's fine.

In the end, Jiang Bei adopted Xiao Qi's plan. Because he thought about it, this plan seemed feasible.

And it was the easiest.

It's just an island, let me lift it up.

Of course, it was physically impossible. Even with unparalleled power, if there was only a small point of contact like a pair of hands, it would definitely penetrate through the entire island instead of lifting it up.

But who made him Superman?

Now Jiang Bei was no longer a rookie who could only break an airplane wing. With increased abilities and experience, he had become quite skilled in controlling the "biological force field" that couldn't be seen or touched.

The concept of a biological force field was also present in the superhero comic Superman, but it was not originally part of the initial setting. It was more like a patch to fix many illogical behaviors of Superman, who was portrayed as an all-powerful character in the early years.

Perhaps the audience in the early years didn't have many requirements for the logic and rationality of comic stories, so Superman in the early years could do many things that were impossible even by his standards.

For example, when he lifted an airplane, he wouldn't penetrate through it directly. For example, when he traveled faster than the speed of light in the atmosphere, it wouldn't have adverse effects on the environment. Even catching people falling from high altitudes at the speed of light wouldn't turn them into a mess. Spider-Man was silent after seeing that.

The concept of the biological force field was introduced as a new concept in the process of rationalizing the Superman story many years later. In general, Superman could extend the force field covering himself to a certain extent to protect the people or objects he came into contact with.

Jiang Bei didn't know if the principle was similar, but he seemed to be able to achieve the same effect to some extent. He could vaguely extend the biological force field that enveloped him according to his will, like an energy field, wrapping around the objects he touched. So when he lifted this island, the force field that spread out enveloped it into an indestructible whole, naturally not easily falling apart.

Of course, he was still a novice after all, with limited progress. It was one thing to lift an airplane, but it was definitely more difficult to lift an island. The biological force field was not absolute.

The poor island obviously endured a force it shouldn't have endured, and it had been groaning since it started to rise. The ground cracked in all directions, as if there were raging waves hitting its structure from all sides.

Ancient buildings collapsed as the ground sank, mountains and trees were torn apart by invisible claws, as if a huge puzzle was falling apart. A large number of debris fell into the sea from the bottom, like a silent meteor shower, causing a chaotic uproar on the sea surface.

During this time, Jiang Bei noticed the unmanned drone watching him and smiled at the camera, waving his hand with one hand.

After all, as long as a hand touched the force field, it would take effect. And it didn't feel too heavy, he could still lift it with one hand.

Thinking about it, it was indeed nostalgic. Jiang Bei remembered that there was a time when he could only lift weights of ten kilograms, and now he could lift an island with one hand without even panting, giving him a sense of the vicissitudes of life.

The people from Sky Eye: ".""No way, it's too much to be able to wave hello while carrying this thing."

There has to be a limit to absurdity, right?

They watched as the massive object soared into the sky, shoulder to shoulder with the sun, completely disappearing from view. Then, Superman gave them a final salute, turned around, and left with a stylish burst of airwaves.

The camp fell into a brief silence.

Then someone said, "The data analysis from the drone's sensors is in. It seems that there's an unknown element in the miasma in that area, which we suspect could have various adverse effects on living organisms' mental states.

The center of the miasma should be from that island."

"It looks like Superman has already done our job for us." The deputy looked at Jian Hao.

Well, it wasn't the first time.

"Good," Jian Hao said, "Let's head back. Everyone, pack up and prepare to finish up. The mission is over."

The deputy asked, "But sir, what about the report?"

"Just write 'Successfully completed the mission in cooperation with the civilian Extraordinary Being codenamed Superman'."

Jian Hao patted his shoulder.

"Those who understand will understand."

Half a day later.

A huge shadow lurked beneath the sea surface, breaking through the water and speeding along underwater.

It was a sea turtle.

Or rather, it looked most like a turtle from the outside. But as a turtle, it was too big, and upon closer inspection, its appearance wasn't entirely consistent.

For example, it had a pair of dangerous dark red eyes, its shell was harder than any known alloy in the Present World, and even its flesh hidden within the shell was as hard as rock after countless trials.

And the most notable feature, it was a three-legged turtle.

Yes, it was the three-legged turtle depicted on the relief of the island's seal door. It was tasked with guarding the sealed land and patrolling the nearby sea to deter and drive away intruders.

For example, the crew of the "Return" ship that strayed onto the island a few days ago was driven away by it. The ship encountered a storm after leaving the island, and it was the turtle that gave them a push underwater, otherwise, they might have had a hard time escaping alive.

Although the crew seemed to have gone mad.

Recently, the monsters inside the seal seemed to have become restless, constantly emitting mental influences to attract humans in the nearby sea. This made its workload much heavier than before, having to "escort" straying ships out every now and then.

But occasionally, there were ships that it detected too late or swam too slowly to save in time. For example, the passenger ship "Sunflower" that Jiang Bei took away was one such case.

However, to prevent this from happening, it had already increased its patrol time.

Like today, it went out on patrol early in the morning. It swam a big circle in the nearby sea and only just returned.

But the closer it got, the more something felt off.

Why were there so many rocks in the water today?

And the grass and trees floating in the water, why did they look more and more familiar?

The three-legged turtle swam home with confusion.

Or rather, where its home should have been.

It stopped, its eyes wide, looking at the vast expanse of rubble and tree debris, its turtle face dumbfounded.

Wow? Where's my home?

How come I went for a walk and came back to find my home gone!?
