When the couple rushed over, the mont the door opened, they saw a massive green vine as thick as a wrist rapidly charging toward them inside the room.
Lu Ting instinctively pulled Shen Qing back a step, but the next second, as if recognizing familiar scents, the originally aggressive vine quickly withdrew, though it still remained firmly blocking their path.
"Ning Ning, Ting-ge..."
Recognizing it as their daughter's supernatural ability and fearing sothing might have happened to An Ning, the couple didn't dare make any sudden moves.
Including the Shen family couple, the entire family anxiously guarded outside the door until late at night, when the massive vine finally transford into a wisp of green light and disappeared before their eyes.
"Dad? Mom?"
Seeming sowhat surprised, the little girl in warm yellow cartoon pajamas, her eyes still drowsy with sleep, instinctively blinked her large eyes:
She glanced up at the sky outside.
"It's so late, Dad, Mom, why are you here? Did sothing happen outside?"
Shen Qing: "..."
Lu Ting: "..."
After thoroughly examining her and confirming she was unhard, Lu Ting remained silent for a mont, holding back the eager-to-speak Shen Qing. He bent down and finally organized his words to ask:
"Ning Ning, did you feel anything unusual just now?"
"Or sothing different from before?"
"Just now?"
Being a clever little girl after all, after frowning in thought for a mont, An Ning quickly rembered sothing:
"Oh right, I just secretly touched that green stone Dad brought back, and after returning I felt warm all over."
Stealing a glance at her parents before her, the little girl spoke sowhat guiltily:
"I was just about to call you, but I don't know why I fell asleep."
Green stone? Shocked by their daughter's boldness, but now wasn't the ti to discuss that. After pondering for a mont, Lu Ting quickly spoke:
"What about now? Ning Ning, try using your supernatural ability?"
"Now... oh..."
Pleased with his quick thinking, An Ning quickly raised her hand. In an instant, a flash of green light appeared, and a vine even thicker than before swiftly shot out from her hand.
So fast!
Lu Ting instinctively assessed in his heart—this speed was probably sothing even he might not be able to react to.
"Wow, Ning Ning is so amazing!"
Shen Qing's eyes beside them grew even brighter.
Before all the parents, though still sowhat unclear about the changes before her, An Ning quickly puffed out her small chest on the large bed.
Her already exquisite and lovely features seed to glow even brighter.
Our daughter is so beautiful indeed!
Happily kissing her daughter's little face, the family then moved to the living room, their eyes shining brightly as they looked at the green crystal that had been placed back on the table.
"Is this the thing?"
"Huh, it doesn't seem as bright as before!"
Shen Qing seed eager to try, but after touching it repeatedly, there was no sign of her body heating up like her daughter had experienced earlier, nor any indication of an impending upgrade.
anwhile, Lu Ting, as if thinking of sothing, first carefully probed the crystal with his own supernatural ability. After detecting a sowhat familiar energy, he didn't dare act recklessly, but instead divided it into several small strands, cautiously wrapping them with his own lightning power before slowly absorbing them into his body.
After confirming it was safe, and even noticing a slight increase in his internal energy, he continued repeating the previous operation.
Unfortunately, by the ti the crystal turned to powder, though Lu Ting's supernatural ability had increased, there was no sign of a breakthrough.
Facing the curious gazes of his wife and daughter beside him.
Lu Ting: "..."
"Ahem, just now, I felt I had vaguely touched the bottleneck, as long as I wait a bit longer..."
After a mont of silence, Lu Ting cleared his throat and spoke, deliberately glancing at his wife beside him:
"Oh... understood, Ning Ning's dad, keep it up!"
Young Lady Shen smiled as she spoke, while An Ning beside her clapped her little hands and cheered: "Dad, you can do it!"
Lu Ting: "..."
"It seems Ning Ning must have already reached the critical point for upgrading earlier, and the energy in the crystal was probably just the catalyst."
After all, he was a domineering CEO, quite skilled at summarizing. After the brief embarrassnt, comparing their recent supernatural ability growth rates, Lu Ting quickly understood.
Still, having his talent surpassed by his own eight-year-old daughter, and right before his wife and daughter—Lu Ting, who had been a prodigy since childhood—couldn't help feeling socially embarrassed, though he felt more happiness than anything.
In an apocalyptic environnt like this, who knows when accidents might happen? Having his daughter exceptionally talented and capable of protecting herself in the future was a good thing.
As for Shen Qing beside him, needless to say, she was only filled with pride at this mont.
Embarrassnt? Nonexistent! After all, since childhood, while there weren't many people better than her, there were still so.
Right before bedti, Young Lady Shen didn't forget to happily say:
"As expected of my daughter!"
If we're talking about who slept most soundly and peacefully that night, it was undoubtedly the Shen family couple:
"Our daughter is truly blessed!"
Just as Lu Ting had said that day, after clearing zombies outside daily, within just a few days, Dad Lu's supernatural ability showed signs of breakthrough. anwhile, visibly, the zombies wandering outside were becoming increasingly nurous.
After successfully advancing to the next stage, Lu Ting went out again, and this ti, besides bringing back two crystal cores almost identical to the previous one.
However, at this mont, looking at the crystal cores before them, what rose in the family's hearts wasn't relief.
"No matter what, we can't stay here much longer!"
After dinner that evening, Grandfather Shen was the first to speak.
After he finished speaking, everyone at the dining table remained silent for a long ti. Everyone knew.
They probably couldn't wait for the military anymore.
