After successfully repelling the zombie horde, Su Yao and her parents returned safely to the Alliance base. The trip was fruitful; they not only obtained a large number of crystal cores but also brought back valuable scientific research data. Based on the crystal core fusion formula discovered by Su Yao, the Alliance research team launched in-depth research, attempting to unravel its mysteries.
Su Yao didn't stop, knowing full well that there was no end to improving one's strength. After a short rest, she led her parents on a new journey. This time, they headed to an abandoned city surrounded by zombies. It was said that this place had once been at the forefront of crystal core research, and might hide unique crystal cores that could enhance supernatural abilities.
Upon entering the city, they found it ravaged. Zombies roamed freely within the ruined buildings. Su Yao's eyes sharpened, and she instantly unleashed her ice-based power. A chilling aura, like a blade, swept through the streets, freezing zombies in its path. Her father's earth-based power also activated, manipulating rocks to precisely strike those zombies attempting to break free of the ice. Her mother, behind them, used her healing power to maintain everyone's strength and heal their injuries.
They advanced towards the city center, where the energy fluctuations grew increasingly intense. Suddenly, a zombie lord, radiating a purplish-black light, appeared. It was enormous and incredibly fast, making it difficult for ordinary attacks to get close. Su Yao remained calm, activating her spacetime ability to briefly distort the surrounding space, causing the zombie lord's attacks to miss. Simultaneously, she conjured a "Spacetime Flame Blast" in her hand, amplifying its power with the help of spatial forces, and slammed it fiercely into the lord.
The zombie lord, severely wounded, roared and launched an even fiercer counterattack. Seeing this, Dad unleashed his earth-elemental power, erecting a thick earthen wall to block the attack. Su Yao seized the opportunity to use her mental abilities to disrupt the zombie lord's movements, while Mom continuously replenished Su Yao and Dad's healing energy. With their coordinated efforts, the three finally succeeded in killing the zombie lord and retrieving a crystal core emitting a strange light.
The crystal core contained extremely pure and powerful energy, and Su Yao decided to let her parents absorb it first to enhance their abilities. In a safe area, her parents began absorbing the crystal core's energy. Her father's earth-based ability underwent a qualitative leap; he could not only manipulate larger amounts of earth and rocks but also transform them into hard armor, greatly increasing his defense. Her mother's healing ability also evolved, allowing her to instantly recover from severe injuries and even dispel some of the negative effects of the zombie virus.
As Su Yao's family's strength increased, their exploration of the abandoned city became much smoother. They continuously discovered various crystal core resources and even found some ancient crystal core storage devices containing many high-quality crystal cores. Su Yao categorized and sorted these crystal cores, taking some back to the Alliance and keeping the rest for her own use and her parents' cultivation.
However, during their exploration, they discovered traces of some mysterious organizations. These organizations also seemed to be secretly searching for crystal cores, and they acted ruthlessly. Su Yao knew that these mysterious organizations might pose a threat to the Alliance, so she decided to investigate further.
While tracking the mysterious organization, Su Yao and her family encountered a trap. Suddenly, a large mixed force of zombies and mechanical puppets emerged from all around, the enemy attempting to wipe them out in one fell swoop. Su Yao quickly calmed down, activated a spatial shield to protect her family, and then used her psychic abilities to detect the trap layout and the enemy's location.
The father used his earth-based powers to create multiple underground tunnels, facilitating their escape. The mother, meanwhile, cast powerful healing shields to protect everyone from enemy attacks. Su Yao seized the opportunity, unleashing her strongest combination of space-time powers, breaking free from the traps and charging towards the manipulators of the mysterious organization.
A fierce battle was inevitable, with Su Yao clashing with the manipulator of the mysterious organization on a battlefield distorted by time and space. The manipulator possessed a unique power that combined mechanical and supernatural abilities, creating various powerful weapons to attack Su Yao. Su Yao used her agile time-space abilities to dodge and evade, while simultaneously unleashing a fusion of ice and wind skills to counterattack the manipulator.
At the critical moment, Su Yao's parents arrived to provide support. The three of them joined forces, unleashing the full power of their respective abilities. Her father's earth-based attacks restricted the controller's movements, her mother's healing power ensured Su Yao's continued combat, and Su Yao concentrated her strength, using a spacetime fire blast to destroy the controller's core weapon.
Seeing the situation was turning against them, the mysterious group fled. Su Yao and her family did not pursue them; instead, they returned to the Alliance base, carrying their newfound knowledge and growing wariness of the organization. This experience made Su Yao realize that in this apocalyptic world, not only were zombies a threat, but also hidden enemies coveting the power of the crystal cores. She decided to strengthen the Alliance's defenses and intelligence systems, while continuing to improve her and her family's strength, preparing for future challenges.
