That meteor, the very "key" to unlocking these seals, streaked across the sky, carrying the mission and power of a distant galaxy as it roared down to Earth. Its impact with the ground was like a death knell, awakening a dormant power. This force, like a demon unleashed, ravaged the world and mutated the zombies. Once slow and reliant on instinctive biting, the zombies, under this influence, grew stronger and more agile, even possessing a subtle, inexplicable wisdom.
Xiao Yi's face was solemn, knowing full well what this discovery meant. "We must find a way to stop these technological advances from affecting the zombies, otherwise humanity truly has no hope." Lin Yue nodded in agreement, a determined look in her eyes. "But how can we do this? We have limited clues here, and time is running out. The zombies could evolve again at any moment." Li Gang clenched his fists and shouted, "No matter what, we can't give up. At worst, we'll risk our lives!" Zhao Feng calmly analyzed, "Since this was triggered by a specific celestial phenomenon, perhaps we can start from there and see if we can find a way to reverse it."
In the midst of their heated discussion, the stone chamber suddenly shook violently. From all directions, a swarm of strangely shaped zombies emerged. Their bodies had a strange metallic sheen, clearly profoundly transformed by a mysterious force. These zombies let out a chilling roar and lunged at the four men, their fangs and claws bared.
Xiao Yi quickly drew his long sword, his lightning powers instantly unleashing. The blade was engulfed in lightning, flashing with blinding light. With a furious roar, he charged at the zombie horde, unstoppable like a bolt of thunder. Lightning ripped through the horde, instantly striking several zombies and sending them sprawling to the ground. Lin Yue quickly pulled a homemade Molotov cocktail from his backpack and hurled it precisely at the zombies. The cocktail exploded, consuming the surrounding zombies with a blazing flame, emitting a pungent, burnt stench.
Li Gang wielded his heavy axe, each swing carrying immense force. The blade dug deep into the zombies' bodies, sending their limbs flying. Zhao Feng, with his nimble agility, weaved effortlessly through the horde, his dagger accurately piercing their vital points. However, the zombies continued to swarm, seemingly endlessly.
In the fierce battle, Xiao Yi suddenly noticed that the zombies seemed to be moving in a certain pattern towards the statue. With a sudden thought, he shouted, "Everyone, pay attention! These zombies seem to be guarding the statue, or trying to use it to do something! We can't let them succeed!" Upon hearing this, everyone fought even harder, trying to break through the zombie encirclement and get closer to the statue.
After a desperate struggle, the four finally reached the statue. Suddenly, the statue's eyes glowed brightly, and a mysterious column of energy shot up into the sky, seemingly responding to some force within. Xiao Yi and the others were shaken by the aftermath of this energy, but they gritted their teeth and persevered.
Lin Yue suddenly pointed to a previously unnoticed pattern on the statue's base and exclaimed, "Look, this pattern bears a striking resemblance to a star chart we saw in an ancient book! Perhaps this is the key!" Everyone followed her finger and, indeed, discovered a clue. After some deliberation and speculation, they concluded that they must, before the energy fully activated, follow the guidance of the star chart and destroy specific parts of the statue to prevent the disaster.
Xiao Yi took a deep breath and unleashed his lightning powers to their full potential. His entire body was enveloped in lightning, like the god of thunder descending to earth. He leaped high, his sword in hand wielding devastating power as he slashed fiercely at the statue's vital points. With a resounding bang, cracks appeared on the statue, and a mysterious energy column began to flicker. The zombies, sensing danger, grew even more frantic, desperately charging towards Xiao Yi and the others.
Li Gang, Lin Yue, and Zhao Feng fought the zombies' attacks with all their might, buying Xiao Yi time. Xiao Yi gathered his strength once more and struck again, finally bringing the statue crashing down. As the statue collapsed, the mysterious energy column instantly dissipated, and the zombies let out a shrill roar before collapsing to the ground, unable to move.
The four men collapsed to the ground, exhausted, their hearts filled with joy at having survived. But they knew this was only a milestone in a long struggle, and more challenges lay ahead. The mysteries left behind by the Sanxingdui civilization might just be the tip of the iceberg. With this mission in mind, they continued to forge ahead in the apocalypse, searching for hope for humanity's future.
