"It's been two days, and we haven't even seen a single zombie."

"This must be near the Arctic Circle, right?"

How much further do we have to drive?

Lao Luo and Lao Hei looked at Song Zile. Since this morning, Song Zile had been acting very impatiently. It seemed that what they were looking for should be arriving soon.

"Zi Le, what exactly is it?" They were very curious. Could it really be sensed just by intuition? Was psychic ability really that magical?

"I don't know." Song Zile himself was unsure, but the closer he got to this area, the more anxious he became.

After driving for about another hour, Song Xia's expression started to change, as if an impulse was rising from within, making her feel like she was about to lose control.

"Stop the car!" Song Zile suddenly shouted, and everyone got out of the car with him. They looked down at the ground, but there was nothing there except ice and snow.

"Earth-based and fire-based abilities."

The earth-elemental ability user tried to activate it, then shook his head: "No, the ice and snow layer is too thick, it's impossible to turn it over. There might not even be any soil here."

So only two fire-type ability users remained on the scene, burning continuously. However, the temperature here was too low, and the ice and snow layer was thick and hard. Even if the two used all their strength, they could not completely shake the ice layer.

Fortunately, there were some tools and weapons on the vehicle, so the metal-type ability user modified them and everyone began to dig manually.

They were all superhumans, and their strength and endurance had increased significantly compared to before the apocalypse. However, they still found it very difficult to deal with the hard ice. The ten of them took turns, and when they were really tired, they would rest.

"In the three years since the apocalypse, the ice and snow here probably haven't melted at all."

"Now I'm more curious about what's under the ice."

"Doesn't it resemble a rare treasure from a novel? Treasures are rare, after all."

The group watched as Song Zile dug even harder than they did, and their curiosity grew. What could possibly have attracted such a genius?

Meanwhile, Lao Luo and Lao Hei would glance at Song Xia with concern every now and then. Sister Song was acting very strangely. Even when they first met, Sister Song's emotions were not as unstable as they were today.

Could it be that the things inside are related to the apocalypse and the zombie virus?

The fire-based ability was used to burn first, and after they were exhausted, the others started digging. After three days, they finally began to see unusual traces.

What are these black powders?

"Don't touch it!" Song Zile shouted to stop everyone, then carefully picked it up with tweezers and examined it in front of a magnifying glass. His gaze then sharpened. "Keep digging, the thing is down there."

By this time, the ice they had dug was already fifty or sixty meters high. They couldn't help but shiver, their hands and feet were so cold that they had lost all feeling. If it weren't for the two fire-type ability users who could occasionally warm them up, they all felt that they would be crippled. The two fire-type ability users were only maintaining their energy with the help of crystal cores.

Song Xia didn't go down. She kept pacing around the dug-out cave, struggling to suppress the urge to scream.

This feeling is so strange, what is down there?

From the moment they saw the black powder, everyone worked non-stop, trying to dig it out in one go.

"Found it!" A metal-type ability user seemed to have bumped into something, making a crisp collision sound.

Everyone held their breath, watching him slowly peel back the ice to reveal a black stone the size of a fist.

The black stone lay there quietly. If there was anything different about it from ordinary rocks, it was that it was too black, blacker than any black object they would ever see in their lives. Lying there, it was like a black hole, as if it wanted to draw people's minds in. Because it was so black, it did not reflect light and looked like a flat surface, but in fact it was a sphere.

"What is this? A meteorite?"

"The apocalypse happened overnight before. Some experts analyzed that it was because an alien object collided with the sun, causing changes in the sun. Could this thing have come from the sun?"

"Something from the sun? Such a great distance, such great speed, and it didn't cause a volcanic eruption, a major earthquake, or a tsunami. It's a miracle."

"How do you know it didn't cause any problems? At the very beginning of the apocalypse, it wasn't just cities that were in chaos; many places experienced disasters one after another. It's just that we were too shocked by the zombies, and because of the power outages and internet outages, we didn't report on them, so we ignored those natural disasters."

"That makes sense."

"So what do we do with this now?"

Everyone looked at Song Zile, who carefully took out a bag, then put it into a radiation-proof box.

Old Hei couldn't help but ask, "Did you know what this thing was before?"

Song Zile shook his head: "But many things that are of research value have radiation, so it's better to be prepared."

"Is there more below? Should we continue digging?"

"No."

"What exactly is the purpose of this thing?"

"I don't know."

Everyone was stunned. They had been digging for so long, only to find out what it was for?

But geniuses can always figure things out, and how could something be useless if they can sense something here at such a deep depth?

I really hope that geniuses can thoroughly study this thing and completely solve this apocalypse.

"How can we completely solve this problem? Is it just about eliminating the zombie virus? The mutated plants and animals are still a threat, and the harsh environment of Earth will still exist. If we can completely eliminate the mutations of plants and animals, then our human superpowers will also cease to exist, right? Things that have become instincts, if suddenly removed, will also have an impact on the body. Without superpowers, how can we survive in this harsh environment?"

Old Hei's words silenced everyone for a moment. It seemed to be true. Moreover, the superpowers and the zombie virus appeared at the same time. Perhaps they came from the same source, but the mutations were different. Once a drug is developed that can completely eliminate the virus, who can guarantee that the bodies of the superpowered individuals will be fine?

"Actually, maintaining the current situation is not bad. At least the productivity for basic living needs has been restored, hasn't it? Humans and zombies coexist, and it seems that a balance has been achieved."

Old Hei and Old Luo, who came out, looked at Song Xia, and from the bottom of their hearts did not want to see anything happen to her.

They didn't know about the other zombies, but without Sister Song, there would be no new district as we know it today, and no Song Zile's scientific research achievements.

But perhaps they are worrying too much, after all, how could Song Zile have researched something harmful to Sister Song?

Looking at his mother, who was frowning and extremely agitated, Song Zile hesitated about whether to bury the thing back, but he also wanted to completely resolve the abnormality in his mother's body through research.

He knew that although Song's mother usually appeared very stable and normal, it was all thanks to her willpower. He didn't want Song's mother to be influenced by any external forces, nor did he want her to become a public enemy one day after her secret was discovered.
