By the time Su Mi returned to the educated youth station, most people had already gone to rest.
Su Mi went back to her room, where the other five girls were indeed sound asleep, snoring away.
Even from the next room, faint snores could be heard, along with the occasional sound of teeth grinding.
After locking the door, Su Mi felt her way along the edge of the kang to her own bed, took off her shoes, and slipped under the covers.
It wasn’t summer yet, and the nights here were still quite chilly. At the very least, the quilts they used were the thicker winter ones.
Su Mi took out a packet of medicinal powder from her Dimensional Space and sprinkled it around, making sure the others had fallen into a deep sleep and wouldn’t wake up unless something unexpected happened.
Only then did she relax and fully enter the Dimensional Space.
During the past few days on the train, although she had briefly entered the space, it was only to take care of physiological needs. She hadn’t dared to stay inside for long.
As a result, Su Mi still hadn’t fully inspected the situation inside the Dimensional Space.
Moreover, she needed to develop Supernatural Abilities for this body. Otherwise, she would never feel at ease.
After all, the outside world wasn’t safe, and there was no reliable protection. Otherwise, an ordinary village wouldn’t have militias patrolling.
First, she went to check on the medicinal herb field. The herbs she had planted earlier were still in their normal growth period. Although the field was only about half an acre in size, since it was cultivated within the Dimensional Space, the herbs were naturally infused with spiritual energy, making their medicinal effects hundreds of times stronger than ordinary herbs.
Additionally, the accelerated time flow in the space significantly shortened the growth period of the herbs.
Almost all the medicines Su Mi used were prepared by herself, making them priceless treasures.
She planned to plant a batch of grains after harvesting this round of herbs. She preferred rice, though she didn’t mind wheat-based foods. Still, her main preference was rice.
She had also checked today’s food supplies. He Caiwen had even asked why there was no rice.
The answer was that rice wasn’t commonly grown here. Even if some rice was harvested, the grains were all handed over to the state, and the village rarely kept any for itself.
The yield was low, and compared to other more filling staples, keeping rice wasn’t cost-effective.
It was impossible for Su Mi to eat white rice every day, but growing it for herself was no problem—as long as she didn’t make a big fuss about it and let everyone know.
She went to the medical laboratory, where all the equipment was intact. Then she checked the pharmaceutical room, which was also in perfect condition, including the finished medicines she had previously prepared, all neatly arranged on the shelves.
Su Mi headed to the kitchen, opened the refrigerator, took out some wontons, and cooked herself a bowl.
In truth, the refrigerator here was almost just for show. Any food placed inside had no expiration date—not that it wouldn’t spoil, but it simply wouldn’t deteriorate. Boiling water at 100 degrees Celsius would remain at exactly 100 degrees even after a year. The same applied to beverages. Even under a microscope, no changes could be detected.
The results were exactly the same as when they were first placed inside a year ago.
Su Mi had marveled at the wonders of the Dimensional Space more than once.
There were also two large warehouses inside, capable of storing almost an infinite amount of items.
Su Mi had no idea what the limit of the warehouses was.
After the Apocalypse arrived, she had collected a considerable amount of supplies and later exchanged with the base for even more food and usable items to store in the space.
Even with all that, the warehouses weren’t full. As the owner, she didn’t even have the slightest sense that the space’s storage capacity was nearing saturation.
After finishing the wontons, her stomach finally felt the satisfaction of being full.
Su Mi walked into her room in the Dimensional Space, holding a box in her hand.
Inside the box were colorful Crystal Cores.
When the Apocalypse arrived, most people turned into Zombies, but humanity still had a glimmer of hope for survival.
That hope lay in absorbing the energy from the Zombie Crystal Cores found in the heads of Zombies, which could grant people Supernatural Abilities.
Su Mi originally possessed a Dimensional Space, so she simply pretended to be an ability user with a spatial Supernatural Ability.
Later, through repeated experiments, she developed her abilities using the method of acupuncture with golden needles. Of course, this also required the assistance of absorbing Crystal Cores.
Both were indispensable. Now that she had switched bodies, Su Mi naturally wanted to regain her abilities and become an ability user capable of at least protecting herself.
After stripping completely naked, Su Mi held a golden needle in one hand and grasped the colorful Zombie Crystal Cores in the other.
Each color represented a different type of Supernatural Ability energy.
Thanks to drinking the Spatial Spring Water over the past few days, this body’s constitution had greatly improved. Although it hadn’t reached the peak level, it was already qualified.
Time passed minute by minute.
After enduring the excruciating pain of the energy impacting her meridians, Su Mi finally developed two abilities.
This result filled Su Mi with immense joy.
After all, her previous body had only developed a single strength-type ability.
But with the Spatial Spring Water at her disposal, her long-term consumption of it had already granted her great strength. The developed ability was merely the icing on the cake.
Unexpectedly, this body had remarkable potential, developing both Plant-type and Psychic-type Supernatural Abilities.
Plant-type Supernatural Abilities, also known as Wood-type abilities, were highly sought after during the Apocalypse because land and environmental pollution left no arable soil.
Plant-type ability users could make seeds sprout. Whether for grains or vegetables, the germination of seeds relied on the encouragement of Plant-type ability users.
Plants cultivated this way could quickly adapt to the Apocalyptic environment, grow, bloom, and bear fruit, providing humanity with a sustainable food source.
Moreover, advanced Plant-type ability users could even transform plants into agile warriors. The vines they controlled could not only rescue allies but also entangle enemies.
They could even foresee collapsed ruins or collapsed road sections and temporarily use plants to build bridges or pave paths for passage. Their importance made them indispensable teammates in any team.
They were truly versatile—both offensive and defensive, with formidable combat power. Advanced Plant-type Supernatural Abilities even included Healing-type abilities.
Their vigorous vitality could repair bodily injuries and eliminate abnormal diseased cells within the body, making them a universal tool for curing illnesses.
As for Psychic-type Abilities, there was even more to say. Even at the beginner level, Psychic Perception could detect whether there were Zombies or malicious individuals with ill intentions nearby.
Psychic-type ability users could sense all of this.
As their level increased, they could even master abilities like mind-reading, illusions (charm), and Psychokinesis. At the highest level, they could foresee future events and even enter others’ dreams to convey information.
This was simply the ultimate trump card.
During her time in the long-term base laboratory, Su Mi had heard many legends about High-level Supernatural Ability users.
Occasionally, she would daydream about it, but more often, she wanted to end this calamity for humanity.
Later, her efforts, along with those of her team, could not be denied.
Yet, it also cost her life. Looking back, Su Mi felt she had actually gained an advantage.
After all, not everyone gets to live a second life.
First, toss the other Zombie Crystal Cores into the box, specifically picking out the Psychic-type and Plant-type ones to absorb.
Perhaps this body hasn’t been contaminated before, and having been cleansed in advance with Spatial Spring Water, its condition is perfect.
