Su Yao was getting closer and closer to the safe house, but her unease grew stronger. Just a short distance from the safe house, the sky suddenly darkened, dark clouds gathered, and lightning flashed and thunder roared. Streaks of purple lightning, like raging pythons, darted through the clouds before striking the ground.
Su Yao quickly dodged. After the purple lightning struck the ground, it created concentric purple energy ripples around it, instantly corroding anything it touched. "What kind of weather is this!" Su Yao cursed under her breath. She quickened her pace, trying to reach the safe house before more lightning struck.
However, fate seemed determined not to grant her her wish so easily. Several enormous black vortexes appeared ahead, emanating a powerful suction force that mercilessly pulled in surrounding rocks and trees. Su Yao tried to avoid the vortexes, but they seemed to be alive, constantly shifting and blocking her path.
Su Yao channeled her supernatural power, creating a rotating energy shield around herself in an attempt to resist the vortex's pull. She rushed towards the gap between the two vortexes, but just as she was about to pass through, a bolt of purple lightning struck the nearby ground, the powerful impact sending her flying. Su Yao crashed heavily to the ground, a trickle of blood escaping from the corner of her mouth.
"I can't fall here!" Su Yao gritted her teeth and stood up again. Seizing the opportunity, when there was a brief gap in the lightning and vortex attacks, she exerted her strength again and sprinted towards the safe house.
Finally, the safe house came into view. However, it was also surrounded by a purple light barrier, with electrical currents flashing on it from time to time. This was clearly a powerful defense mechanism, but it prevented Su Yao from entering directly.
Su Yao attempted to communicate with the light barrier using her special ability, hoping to find a way in. The moment she touched the barrier, a sharp pain shot through her mind, and images flashed by. The images showed the safe house's defense system activating; it seemed that the energy fluctuations she had caused outside were too strong, causing the safe house to mistake her for an enemy.
"No, I'm Su Yao, let me in!" Su Yao shouted at the light barrier. She concentrated her mental energy, trying to break through the barrier's defenses. With her continued efforts, the light barrier seemed to sense her familiar presence, and the current began to weaken.
Taking advantage of the opportunity, Su Yao merged her supernatural abilities with the light barrier, slowly opening a gap. She quickly passed through the light barrier and entered the safe house. Her family members inside, seeing Su Yao's return, surrounded her, their eyes filled with worry and joy.
Su Yao didn't have time to say much; she told everyone about the crystal she obtained from the phoenix and her experiences in the valley. Her family's expressions turned serious after hearing this. They knew that these newly emerging dangers meant the apocalypse was becoming even more complicated.
Inside the safe house, everyone began to study the crystal's uses. After some testing, they discovered that the energy within the crystal could enhance the safe house's defense system and greatly help resist the abnormal energy in the apocalypse. Therefore, they worked together to install the crystal on the safe house's core energy device.
As energy was injected into the crystal, the protective light barrier of the safe house became more robust, and its color changed from purple to bluish-purple. But everyone knew that this was only temporary safety. Su Yao looked at her family and said firmly, "We can't just passively defend ourselves. We must find the source of this apocalypse and end all of this completely."
Looking at her, her family's eyes ignited with hope. They knew the road ahead was long, filled with unknowns and dangers, but as long as they stood together, they had a chance to overcome anything. After a short rest, they began to formulate new plans, preparing to meet the new challenges brought by the apocalypse.
