Su Yu had a very important person to see.
Yuncheng, Biological Research Institute.
Su Yu’s mother, Qin Qin, holds dual doctorates in biology and chemistry.
This was where Su Yu’s mother worked.
The reason Su Yu’s mother went missing was that the institute relocated their workplace due to the high temperatures.
This also caused Su Yu and her father to completely lose contact with her mother.
After a short while, Qin Qin, wearing a white lab coat, walked toward Su Yu’s car.
At this moment, Qin Qin casually tied up her hair, and even without makeup, her stunning beauty was hard to look away from.
Time never treated beauties unfairly—Qin Qin was so gentle and elegant.
“Sweetheart, why have you come?”
Qin Qin gently brushed aside Su Yu’s slightly messy hair and asked kindly.
In Su Yu’s mind, the distorted face of the zombie starkly contrasted with the beautiful image of her mother right now.
Su Yu felt a pang in her nose.
Everything before her seemed like a dream.
Su Yu’s hand touched her mother’s cheek; her mother’s well-maintained skin felt smooth and tender.
Two beauties stood beside the car, the breeze gently lifting their clothes.
After a moment, Su Yu choked up and said,
“Mom, I miss you so much.”
Su Yu’s mother pulled her into a hug and patted her back.
“Sorry, darling, I’ve been busy with new research lately and neglected you.”
At Su Yu’s insistence, her workaholic mother took a half-day off.
That evening, the family reunited at the dinner table.
Su Yu did not plan to hide the fact that in one month, humanity would face the apocalypse.
After all, both her parents were highly educated intellectuals; even if it sounded like a fantasy, they would try to calculate its possibility.
Su Yu straightforwardly told her parents what would happen in the future.
This included her own rebirth.
Her mother’s infection turning into a zombie, and her father’s subsequent decline and death.
Listening to Su Yu, her mother tightly held Su Yu’s hand.
She could feel the pain of family separation from Su Yu’s words—it all felt so real.
“Su Mu’an! How could you let Xiaoyu wander alone in the apocalypse? Who allowed you to die?”
After hearing Su Yu’s story, her mother poked Su Yu’s father’s arm.
Thinking about Su Yu having spent so many years alone trying to cure her mother, her mother couldn’t help but feel heartbroken.
Su Yu’s father replied sadly from the side, “Honey, I can’t lose you ┭┮﹏┭┮”
Clearly, Su Yu’s parents were showing off their love.
Watching this warm scene, Su Yu showed a faint smile.
This was probably the first comfortable smile she had in ten years.
After understanding what was to come, the family of three reached a unanimous decision:
They would survive well through the apocalypse.
Su Yu’s mother immediately decided to resign from the research institute.
More importantly, the reason her mother became infected and turned into a zombie was that the institute where she worked was researching biochemical viruses.
Besides China, other countries were also secretly researching this virus.
Based on Su Yu’s ten years of investigation and research, she knew other countries had similar studies going on simultaneously.
But Su Yu had been obsessed with curing her mother.
She had not delved deeply into the conspiracy behind humans being infected and turning into zombies.
Then the family formulated a survival plan together.
The zombie virus would fully break out three years later.
For now, the more important issue was how to survive the natural disasters.
Now Su Yu had returned to one month before the disaster, with a balance of tens of billions of yuan.
The first step, of course, was to start stockpiling supplies.
The houses in Mingyue Huafu were very large, with each floor covering 500 square meters.
But even if Su Yu filled every vacant floor in ten buildings with supplies, it wouldn’t be enough for their family for a lifetime.
Not to mention that food would spoil in the high temperatures.
After the earthquake, all supplies would turn to ashes.
Therefore, Su Yu needed to activate something else—that was — space.
In her previous life, five years after the disaster, various superpowered individuals began appearing worldwide.
The birth of these powers originated from a failed rescue serum.
Five years after the natural disaster, the zombie virus spread rapidly.
At the same time, the zombies underwent a new round of upgrades.
Human strength was almost powerless to resist.
People began investing a great deal of effort into virus research.
Soon, a rescue serum was developed.
This rescue serum claimed to protect humans from infection.
But half of the first group who participated in the trials became infected.
The surviving half developed genetic mutations due to the serum.
Thus, superpowered individuals appeared.
Su Yu was one of these superpowered individuals.
She was a spatial ability user.
As the name suggests, possessing this ability meant being able to summon a spatial dimension.
However, Su Yu had focused most of her research on curing her mother and had paid little attention to her powers.
Moreover, five years after the disaster, Su Yu, as a researcher contributing to humanity, did not worry about food or shelter.
So she had largely ignored the few thousand cubic meters of space she could summon.
Instead, she poured all the medicines related to zombie virus research into that space.
Right now, to activate her ability, she needed to produce that so-called rescue serum.
“Mom, does the research institute currently have a special drug project starting with the letter J?”
The biochemical virus research team would certainly be developing a vaccine as well.
Otherwise, researchers themselves would risk infection.
So Su Yu boldly guessed that the institute was already working on the emergency rescue serum.
Sure enough, Su Yu got a positive answer.
Normally, her mother wouldn’t reveal any information about the institute.
After all, the job required signing a confidentiality agreement.
But now was different.
Since Su Yu asked, it must be important.
Her mother thought for a moment and replied:
“The drug starting with J is probably a project managed by Aunt Wen.”
Aunt Wen, named Wen Jinghua, was Qin Qin’s university roommate.
They were quite close.
Su Yu’s family had few relatives in Yuncheng, and Aunt Wen was one of the few close contacts.
“Xiaoyu, do you want to remind your Aunt Wen?”
Thinking of Aunt Wen, Su Yu’s mother felt a little reluctant.
Although people’s hearts were unpredictable in the apocalypse, Aunt Wen really was a good person.
“Don’t worry, Mom. In my previous life, Aunt Wen was still alive and well even ten years after the disaster.”
Hearing this, her mother felt much relieved.
Su Yu explained the function of the rescue serum to her parents.
She truly wanted to obtain the rescue serum.
If it was indeed the same rescue serum that appeared five years later, maybe Su Yu could trigger her powers again.
Then the food stored in her spatial dimension could move with her.
Even after a massive earthquake, her family could survive outdoors smoothly.
But Su Yu didn’t want to risk her mother.
She feared that if her mother returned to the institute, she might get infected.
While Su Yu was thinking about how to sneak it out, her father directly said, “It’s a small matter. Leave it to your dad.”
Her mother nodded and replied:
“Tonight, you sleep alone. I’ll stay with our daughter.”
With that, Su Yu’s mother took her arm and returned to the room, leaving Su Yu’s father silently watching her back.
The next day, before dawn, a set of reagents named JJ001 was already placed by Su Yu’s bedside.
Su Mu’an stood by Su Yu’s bed, adjusting his tie.
“Daughter, is dad doing well?”
