The helicopter flew over the vast mountains of Guizhou. There were strange peaks and beautiful ridges, lush greenery everywhere, winding mountain roads like silver ribbons, and towns scattered like chess pieces. This is the beautiful land of our motherland.
I don't regret spending seven years on her... But when I think back on my career as a superhuman, what impressed me most was not the life-and-death battles with the enemy. Perhaps it was because I slept in the life support device for two years, but all these memories are a little vague to me.
But the time I spent with Sister Lan Yan, Sister Zhi Ran, and the other team members is something I will never forget. Perhaps even many years from now, it will still be so vivid when I think of it...
I sighed. In fact, when it comes to extraordinary people, this concept did not even exist twelve years ago.
Twelve years ago, in 2023 AD, the first Strait Crisis broke out. Not to mention the various national-level competitions during that period, a major event with far-reaching impact occurred at that time.
That is the "aircraft carrier sinking incident."
A man dressed in oriental martial artist's clothes attacked the US fleet alone from the sea. No one knew who he was or where he came from. When he appeared in the spotlight of the whole world, he was running on the sea. Some people estimated with surprise that his speed was at least 400 kilometers per hour.
How incredible this is!
The speed is almost ten times faster than that of the world champion in sprinting, and theoretically it is impossible for a person to stand above the sea water!
Faced with this unknown monster, the U.S. military opened fire without hesitation. Since the missiles could not lock on, countless naval guns and close-in defense guns spit out terrifying tongues of fire at the man. For a moment, a forest of water columns submerged him... However, he did not die. Instead, with some magical power, he withstood the countless tongues of fire and arrived on the largest and most advanced aircraft carrier of the U.S. military.
No one knows what happened next. All we know is that the aircraft carrier quickly caught fire and then sank with the speed of a small boat leaking water, as one Western commentator put it.
The world was shocked. Some people shouted for God, some shouted for Satan, and some knelt down to call on Allah... Although no one knew whether the man was dead or alive, it could not be denied that with this incident, another era had arrived!
Some people call it the "Extraordinary Era".
In the ten years since the advent of the supernatural era, various supernatural beings have emerged like mushrooms after rain, and then countries around the world have divided supernatural beings into five levels based on their different strength performances!
There are microscopic level, disturbance level, danger level, anti-military level, strategic level, and in addition there is a taboo level that is only speculated by people.
The emergence of supernatural powers makes people crazy. They praise supernatural beings like they praise celebrities. However, most of the supernatural beings that appear on TV are only at the microscopic level or the disturbance level, which is enough to subvert people's cognition.
It turns out that "absolute memory" is also a microscopic-level extraordinary ability, and being able to bend a spoon with one's mind is a disturbance-level ability...
As for the last three levels, they will basically not appear in the public eye... because, although the world has fallen into a strange peace due to the impact of the extraordinary, conflicts and disputes will not disappear out of thin air. They are just transferred to the battlefield of extraordinary people in secret.
It can even be said that because the penetration and destructive capabilities of a single person or team are almost comparable to those of an army, without the huge costs of an army and the inability to clear suspicion of being an invader, the extraordinary people can be said to have become the most useful tool in conflicts between countries!
Even if they die in a foreign country, it is easy for the country to distance itself from the matter. It can be said that the role of extraordinary people is similar to that of special forces, but their capabilities are hundreds or thousands of times greater than those of special forces. They are a force that can truly influence the battlefield.
Over the past decade, the extraordinary conflicts between big countries and small countries, and between big countries, have been like a real war, endless, cruel and bloody.
I withdrew my gaze from the earth. I was originally a "dangerous level" extraordinary person who belonged to the martial arts type. Like the Eastern warrior who was the first to appear and destroy the US aircraft carrier and was considered the first "strategic level" extraordinary person, I could use magical true energy.
However, after being injured, my Qi seemed to become extremely weak, and I even found it difficult to use martial arts. Although my physical ability was still far superior to that of ordinary people, it had already degenerated to the "microscopic level". Although not all microscopic levels cannot participate in conflicts between extraordinary people, such as Sister Zhiran, she has an absolute memory ability and an extremely high IQ.
She was active as a technical support provider, and the life support system that saved me was developed under her leadership.
But for martial arts transcendents, the microscopic level can't play a big role, and can even be a drag, so the organization made me retire...
However, although I said goodbye to my seven-year career as a Transcendent, and also said goodbye to Sister Lan Yan, Sister Zhi Ran and the others, after the depression, I couldn't help but look forward to another thing:
In Shen City, I also have a fiancée who was betrothed to me since childhood. Actually, it was called an arranged marriage, but I had never met her parents. I had been living in Uncle Luo's house since I was a child. Therefore, she and I were childhood sweethearts from kindergarten to high school. In addition, the fact that we were an engaged couple meant that we had actually been in love with each other for a long time.
——Even during the summer vacation when I was seventeen, we ate the forbidden fruit together. The touching blush at that time was a mark that I will never forget.
