After the base had been developing with the newly acquired resources for some time, one night, Su Yao was resting in her room when she was suddenly awakened by a strange energy fluctuation within her body. Her body felt as if it were being filled with a power that was both intensely hot and icy cold, causing her immense pain.
At the same time, Ling Yu and other companions with superpowers also experienced the same situation. The base was suddenly filled with various cries of pain.
Su Yao endured the excruciating pain and let her consciousness sink into her body. She discovered that the core of her spatial ability was flashing with a dazzling light, and an unfamiliar energy was constantly impacting it. The system's voice sounded in her mind: "A powerful energy source has been detected, triggering the awakening and evolution of your ability. The host must concentrate and guide the energy, otherwise there may be a danger to your life."
Su Yao gritted her teeth and began to guide the energy according to the system's prompts. She built mental defenses in her mind, gradually taming the violent energy. As the energy was tamed, she felt her spatial abilities constantly expanding and deepening. Originally, she could only create small spatial rifts and limited spatial distortions, but now she could create much larger and more stable spatial channels, and even temporarily incorporate an area into her spatial domain, achieving complete control.
Meanwhile, Ling Yu's ice-based abilities were undergoing astonishing changes. The originally blue ice energy gradually took on a silvery sheen, and the ice blades he released became sharper and harder, with even lower temperatures. He could instantly freeze a large area into an ice sculpture world, and he could manipulate the ice into various weapons, such as ice shields and ice spears, greatly increasing his attack power.
The other companions' abilities have also evolved. Some who could only manipulate flames for simple attacks can now transform them into agile firebirds that obey commands; others with earth-type abilities can transform the earth into giant rock golems to assist in battle.
As everyone gradually completed their ability awakening and evolution, Su Yao realized that this was an excellent opportunity to improve the overall strength of the base. She gathered all those with abilities and began to organize special training and ability coordination drills.
They set up various simulated battlefields in the open area outside the base, including defensive drills against attacks from alien beasts and sparring training between different ability users. During training, Su Yao constantly tried to use her evolved spatial ability. She could create temporary hiding spaces on the battlefield, allowing her teammates to hide inside and launch surprise attacks; she could also use spatial channels to quickly transfer teammates and achieve tactical surprise attacks.
Ling Yu then worked with other elemental ability users. He first used his ice ability to create a cold environment, and then the fire ability user triggered an explosion on the ice, generating a powerful impact. The earth ability user was responsible for building fortifications and traps, while the wind ability user created air currents on the battlefield to interfere with the enemy's vision and movement.
However, during a large-scale simulated combat exercise, they discovered a new problem. Although the individual abilities of the superhumans had greatly improved, during large-scale coordinated operations, the energy fluctuations between their abilities would interfere with each other, resulting in a significant reduction in the overall attack effectiveness.
Su Yao turned to the system for help again. After analysis, the system gave the following advice: "We need to develop an energy coordination device that can adjust the energy frequency between different superhumans to achieve stable cooperative combat."
Therefore, Su Yao led the base's technical personnel to develop an energy coordination device, utilizing the technological resources acquired through previous explorations. After countless trials and failures, they finally succeeded in developing the first-generation energy coordination device.
When everyone donned the energy coordination devices and practiced again, the effects were immediate. The superhumans' attacks were perfectly coordinated, with various superhuman energies blending and complementing each other to form a powerful combined attack. They were able to easily handle both simulated hordes of alien beasts and attack formations from other forces.
With the awakening and evolution of superpowers and the successful application of the energy coordination device, the base's strength has achieved a qualitative leap. Su Yao knows that in the harsh environment of the high-temperature apocalypse, they still need to continuously explore, innovate, and improve in order to protect their home and meet the unknown challenges of the future. She has also begun to look forward to the next stage of development, how to expand the base's influence, establish connections with other potentially friendly forces, and jointly fight against the apocalyptic disaster.
