Su Yao and her family sat together, discussing the use of the new supplies, but she knew that after a short rest, she had to set off again. In this apocalyptic world, there were never enough supplies; only by constantly accumulating them could they better cope with unknown dangers.
This time, the system alerted that a large amount of high-value resources might be found at an abandoned research base on the outskirts of the city. After making preparations, Su Yao bid farewell to her family and headed towards the research base.
The research base's gates were tightly shut, surrounded by a thick layer of ice and snow, appearing eerie and silent. Su Yao approached the gate, using her special ability to clear the ice and snow, only to discover that a password was required to open it. She instructed the system to begin cracking the code while cautiously observing her surroundings.
Just as the system was cracking the gate's password, Su Yao heard a faint sound of footsteps. She turned around and saw a group of people exuding an aura of coldness walking towards her. These people had icy eyes and eerie bluish-white skin, as if their lives had been eroded by extreme cold.
“Another one coming to die,” one of them said coldly. Su Yao realized that these people might be survivors mutated by some kind of power within the research base. She didn’t want to get entangled with them and just wanted to get into the base as soon as possible.
But these mutants had no intention of letting her go; they quickly pounced on Su Yao. Su Yao used her spatial ability, instantly disappearing from her spot and reappearing behind them. She activated her wind blade ability, attempting to repel the mutants, but the wind blades only caused them to pause slightly as they struck.
The mutants seemed insensitive to pain, and they continued their attack. Su Yao frowned and decided to use her fire ability. Flames erupted around the mutants, who let out painful howls and temporarily ceased their attack.
At that moment, the gate of the research base opened, and Su Yao took the opportunity to rush into the base. She then used her superpower to close the gate, keeping the mutants outside.
The base reeked of a pungent chemical odor, and the lights flickered dimly. Su Yao cautiously walked forward, passing through a corridor before arriving at a huge laboratory. The laboratory was filled with various instruments and experimental equipment, as well as some transparent culture chambers containing unknown liquids and organisms.
The system prompted: "Important materials have been detected in the basement, but the basement is protected by energy. The laboratory's security system needs to be deactivated first." Su Yao began searching for a way to deactivate the security system in the laboratory.
In front of a control panel, she found some operation hints, but it required solving a complex puzzle. Su Yao calmed herself down and, relying on her own intelligence and the system's assistance, gradually solved the puzzle. With a sounding alarm, the security system was deactivated.
However, this triggered the base's defenses. Some mechanical spiders crawled down from the ceiling, their legs as sharp as knives, and quickly moved towards Su Yao. Su Yao used her spatial abilities to dodge the spiders' attacks, while simultaneously unleashing wind blades to sever the spiders' legs.
However, the sheer number of mechanical spiders overwhelmed Su Yao. She discovered that these spiders were connected via some kind of signal, so she focused her attacks on one of them, then used her spatial abilities to capture it and destroy its signal transmitter. The other spiders immediately fell into chaos.
After dealing with the mechanical spiders, Su Yao arrived at the basement entrance. The basement's energy shield had disappeared. She entered the basement, which was filled with various high-tech materials, rare medicines, and advanced weapon blueprints.
Su Yao excitedly stored the supplies into her spatial storage, knowing they would greatly enhance their survival capabilities in the apocalypse. Just as she was about to leave, a strange sound came from a corner of the basement.
Su Yao went over to investigate and discovered a huge, frozen safe. She used her special ability to thaw the safe, revealing a fingerprint reader on it. Su Yao tried to use the system to unlock it, but the system indicated that a special genetic sequence was required to open it.
Just as she was worrying, she suddenly thought of the mutants; their appearance might be related to this safe. She decided to risk going out to capture a mutant to try and open the safe.
苏瑶回到地面，那些变异人还在基地大门外徘徊。她施展空间异能抓住一个变异人，然后迅速回到地下室。当她把变异人的手放在指纹识别器上时，保险箱缓缓打开。
里面是一颗散发着神秘光芒的晶体，系统提示：“这是一种可以强化异能并赋予异能者新能力的能量晶体。”苏瑶小心翼翼地将晶体收入空间，然后离开科研基地。
在返回安全屋的路上，苏瑶遇到了一小群丧尸。她轻松地解决了它们，带着珍贵的物资回到了家人身边，为他们的末世生存带来了新的希望。
