Following this battle, the alliance, under Su Yao's leadership, gradually solidified its position. Su Yao knew that the immense potential contained within the crystal cores was far from being fully explored, and that improving her own and her family's strength was fundamental to surviving in this apocalyptic world and promoting the reconstruction of human civilization. Therefore, she decided to take her parents deep into the dangerous areas overrun by zombies to explore more of the mysteries of the crystal cores and obtain precious resources, while also hoping to help her parents further awaken and strengthen their supernatural abilities.
Before setting off, Su Yao used the system space to stockpile enough supplies to last several lifetimes. This included a wide variety of high-calorie compressed foods, clean drinking water, medicine, and weapons and ammunition. She also specially prepared high-quality protective gear for her parents to ensure their safety in the dangerous environment.
Stepping into the zombie-infested area, Su Yao's eyes were resolute and calm. She was the first to unleash her ice-based ability; instantly, the surrounding air temperature plummeted, freezing several approaching zombies into ice sculptures. Su Yao's father was not to be outdone; his awakened earth-based ability allowed him to manipulate the power of the earth. With a swift wave of his hands, sharp earth spikes shot up from the ground, piercing a group of zombies. Her mother used her newly awakened healing ability to maintain everyone's physical condition, preventing infection from the zombies' pathogens and allowing her to heal injuries promptly.
While fighting, Su Yao kept an eye on the movements of the surrounding zombies, searching for targets with strong fluctuations in crystal core energy. Suddenly, a gigantic mutated zombie exuding an eerie aura rushed out from a corner. Its strength was immense, and ordinary attacks were ineffective against it. Su Yao immediately switched to her ability, activating her space-time ability. Her figure vanished from her spot in an instant, then reappeared behind the mutated zombie. She conjured a "Space-Time Flame Blast" in her hand and slammed it into the zombie's back. The powerful force sent the zombie flying, but it quickly got up and continued its frenzied attack.
At this moment, Su Yao's father concentrated his earth-elemental power, creating a huge crater at the zombie's feet, trapping it deep within. Her mother continued to heal Su Yao, ensuring she remained in peak fighting condition. Su Yao took a deep breath and once again unleashed a fusion of her space-time and ice-elemental powers, slowing the flow of time around the zombie while simultaneously enveloping it tightly with her ice-elemental power, rendering it immobile. Taking advantage of the opportunity, Su Yao used her mental powers to penetrate deep into the zombie, precisely locating the crystal core, and then fatally struck it, retrieving a crystal core emitting a ghostly blue light.
Through continuous battles, Su Yao and her family of three developed an increasingly seamless teamwork. They overcame numerous obstacles, accumulating a large number of crystal cores. Su Yao gave them some crystal cores suitable for enhancing her parents' abilities, allowing them to absorb the energy during breaks in combat to raise their ability levels. With the continuous absorption of crystal core energy, Su Yao's father's earth-based abilities became more proficient, enabling him to create complex earth-based defensive fortifications and attack traps; her mother's healing abilities also expanded significantly, with more pronounced healing effects.
As for Su Yao herself, after absorbing multiple high-quality crystal cores, her control over spacetime abilities reached a new level. She could briefly stay in different spacetime dimensions to obtain more information about the weaknesses of zombies and the use of crystal core energy. She also discovered some special energy patterns hidden within the crystal cores, which seemed to have a deeper connection with the code of human evolution.
During an in-depth exploration, they entered an abandoned research base. The base was filled with various complex instruments and mysterious research materials. Su Yao used the system's analytical capabilities to try and decipher the key information about crystal nuclei and human evolution within these materials. After much effort, she discovered a crystal nuclei fusion formula that could potentially drive the full evolution of human superpowers. However, this formula required several extremely rare crystal nuclei as its foundation, and the fusion process was fraught with danger; the slightest mistake could lead to uncontrolled energy loss.
Su Yao decided to bring this discovery back to the Alliance base to discuss and research it with the Alliance's researchers. On their way back to the Alliance with her parents, a large number of crystal cores, and research data, they encountered an unprecedented zombie horde. Thousands of zombies surged forward like a tide, and Su Yao quickly directed her parents to form a defensive formation with her. She used her spatial abilities to construct sturdy spatial barriers, her father used his earth-based abilities to set up sharp earth spikes outside the barriers, and her mother was always ready to use her healing abilities on the injured.
Su Yao knew this was a severe test, but she was fearless. She gathered the energy from the crystal core in her hand, preparing to unleash her strongest attack and pave a path out of the zombie horde. As the energy from the crystal core continued to flow, her supernatural power shone ever brighter; a breathtaking battle was about to unfold in this post-apocalyptic wasteland.
