Inside the safe house, Su Yao and her family endured the most agonizing two months of the post-apocalyptic heatwave. Su Yao constantly monitored the system notifications, calculating the arrival time of the acid rain. As the heat intensified, the outside world became increasingly horrific; the sky was baked a deep red, and the earth was cracked and parched, resembling the hide of a giant beast scorched by flames.
Under Su Yao's supervision, her parents' supernatural abilities improved significantly. Her father could now concentrate his power into a tangible shockwave, capable of shattering boulders several meters away from a distance. Her mother's healing ability expanded several times over, and while healing wounds, it could also temporarily enhance the injured person's physical functions. Su Yao herself, through simulated combat using the system, became increasingly proficient in fusing ice, wind, and fire abilities, creating the powerful skill "Ice and Fire Storm," which could instantly freeze or incinerate large areas.
Finally, signs of the impending end of the heatwave began to appear, with dark clouds gathering on the horizon. Su Yao knew that acid rain was coming, and the danger was about to escalate. She checked the safe house's defenses again, reinforcing the ability shield generator to ensure that the safe house would be a true haven when the acid rain poured down.
“Mom and Dad, once the acid rain arrives, the outside world will become even more dangerous. We will not only have to face zombies and mutated creatures, but also be careful of the polluted environment,” Su Yao said solemnly.
As the first drop of acid rain fell, Su Yao looked out through the protective window of the safe house. She saw that wherever the raindrop landed, a pungent white smoke immediately rose from the ground, ordinary plants withered instantly, while the mutated plants began to grow wildly, their branches and leaves twisting and stretching towards the sky, as if welcoming this "baptism".
Soon after, the roars of zombies could be heard. Su Yao activated her system to investigate and discovered a group of zombies staggering towards the safe house. These zombies were twisted, their skin pitted and corroded by acid rain, and they emitted a nauseating stench of decay.
"Mom and Dad, get ready for battle!" Su Yao gave the order, and the family took their positions.
Su Yao was the first to rush out of the safe house. She formed hand seals and unleashed "Ice and Fire Storm," a powerful surge of energy that instantly froze and pulverized the leading zombies. Her father followed closely behind, letting out a roar as his supernatural power erupted, wielding his supernatural weapon to repel approaching zombies. Inside the safe house, her mother activated a healing shield, providing continuous healing and protection for Su Yao and her father.
During the battle, Su Yao discovered that the crystal cores inside these zombies were purer, but also contained a violent energy. She carefully removed the crystal cores and took them back to the safe house to study them. Through system analysis, she discovered that a special array could be used to purify the violent energy in the crystal cores, making it safer to absorb.
As acid rain persisted, mutated creatures began to appear more frequently. On one occasion, a giant mutated spider appeared near the safe house. This spider was the size of a small hill, covered in sharp, venomous spines, and spewed corrosive silk from its mouth.
With the Su family working together, Su Yao used her ice-based powers to freeze the spider's movements, while her father seized the opportunity to attack its joints with his strength powers, and her mother promptly healed the injured. After a fierce battle, they finally succeeded in killing the mutated spider and obtained a huge crystal core containing powerful energy.
In the initial battles of the acid rain apocalypse, Su Yao's family, relying on their individual superpowers, thorough preparation, and close cooperation, gradually adapted to the new and dangerous environment. They knew that more challenges awaited them in the future, but as long as the family remained united, leveraging the advantages of their system, space, and superpowers, they had hope of surviving in this apocalypse, uncovering more secrets about it, and finding the possibility of rebuilding their home.
