In the wilderness!
"To think that the surge in mental power would cause such a disturbance..."
Lam Pham held onto Van Van the whole time, feeling a terrifying ripple spreading out, forming an invisible tidal wave of impact. If an ordinary person were caught in such a ripple, they would probably be sent tumbling who knows where.
The ground all around trembled.
Countless tiny pebbles were guided by an invisible force, levitating in mid-air.
"Such a powerful guiding ability."
Lam Pham envied Van Van's ability. Thinking about his own situation, everything he could do was within the realm of human capabilities, but an ability like Van Van's could only be described as being as amazing as a superhero's.
He couldn't control the pebbles.
But Van Van could.
"Van Van, can you hear me? It's very safe here now. You can release the power inside your body whenever you want. It's alright."
Lam Pham said softly.
Ever since letting Van Van use the crystals, the intensity of her ability had been increasing more and more. Her ability was not to be underestimated; among all the abilities of the Awakened, it was absolutely top-tier.
Van Van seemed to understand Lam Pham's words. She stopped suppressing the restless power in her body, and in an instant, it erupted with her as the epicenter. Lam Pham, holding Van Van, felt an extremely intense pressure envelop his body.
His clothes became as if they were ironed, hanging straight down.
"The pressure is so heavy, an ordinary person wouldn't be able to withstand it at all."
Lam Pham analyzed her important ability. Although he wasn't clear on just how strong a fourth-stage ability user was, if Lao Chung were within this pressure, he would probably also find it extremely difficult to resist this force.
"It's still getting stronger?"
He was a little surprised. He thought this had to be the limit, but the power was still intensifying with no sign of subsiding. Just then, with a deafening rumble, the ground in a radius of several dozen meters with Van Van at the center was instantly crushed into a deep crater by an invisible force.
"So strong."
Lam Pham looked down at Van Van in his arms. With such oppressive force, any zombies caught in this situation would absolutely be crushed to bits.
After Van Van released this power from her body.
The situation gradually improved.
"Where am I?"
Van Van opened her eyes, looking around blankly at her surroundings. "Uncle Lam, what happened to me?"
Lam Pham smiled and said: "Van Van, you are so amazing. Your ability has been enhanced again. From now on, you can better protect everyone."
"Oh..."
Van Van looked around, still very dazed, but when she saw the crater in the ground, an uneasy expression appeared on her little face.
"Did I do this?"
"Yes, Van Van did this. It's really amazing. Relax, Van Van, and concentrate on feeling that power inside you. Let your uncle see where your limits are."
Lam Pham said softly. His voice seemed to possess a kind of magical power, capable of calming her tense heart.
He put Van Van down on the ground. Van Van obeyed Lam Pham, nodded, and manipulated her mental power. An invisible force spread out to the surroundings.
Telekinesis was indeed an extremely powerful ability.
Under Van Van's control, the weeds on the ground floated and trembled. Countless pebbles levitated at her command. Immediately after, those pebbles seemed to sprout wings, flying at high speed through the air in an unscientific way. Their speed continuously increased, and one could even hear the sound of them tearing through the air.
Snap!
With the infusion of Van Van's mental power, the pebbles instantly shattered. This was the result of her using mental power to compress them, causing the pebbles to break under the pressure they could not withstand.
"Van Van, can you fly?"
Lam Pham asked. He recalled scenes from movies he had seen in the past, where someone who awakened telekinesis could not only control other objects but also make themselves fly.
"Uncle Lam, I'll try."
Van Van concentrated her mind and controlled her power. A magical scene truly occurred. Van Van's feet actually began to slowly leave the ground, levitating, and rising higher and higher.
One meter.
Two meters.
Four meters.
Six meters.
"Ah..."
Van Van was a little afraid of heights. Seeing herself flying so high, she cried out in fright. Her mental power dissipated, and her body fell rapidly towards the ground. Fortunately, Lam Pham caught her, saving her from an intimate encounter with the earth.
"See? Didn't you fly?"
In Lam Pham's eyes, Van Van's ability was absolutely TOP1, the most high-level and comprehensive ability among all the Awakened. Telekinesis could control any external object and even allow her to fly. In the current apocalypse, being able to fly meant absolute safety; even if surrounded by zombies, she could leave peacefully.
Just as he had thought before.
If he, Lam Pham, did not exist in this apocalypse, then Van Van would be the world's savior. There were evolved zombies that only Van Van could deal with.
After all, some zombies were truly too terrifying.
"I can really fly."
Van Van looked extremely surprised. For a child, suddenly having such an ability was definitely a pleasant surprise.
"Of course you can fly. From now on, you can practice well when you have free time. I believe that with Van Van's intelligence, you will definitely be able to master it even faster," Lam Pham said with a smile.
He liked to encourage children. Frequent encouragement could make a child more confident in themselves.
"Mhm."
Van Van nodded vigorously.
Afterward, Lam Pham brought Van Van back to the Duong Quang Residential Area. When Dai Hung saw his daughter return safe and sound, he let out a huge sigh of relief. For him, his child was the most important existence.
Van Van's situation had alarmed everyone, and the group was very concerned about her condition. After Lam Pham brought Van Van back, and everyone knew there was no danger, they all went back to their homes to rest.
Lam Pham told them about Van Van's situation. As Awakened ones, Lao Chung and the others exclaimed in amazement at Van Van's limitless future. An ability like this was truly incredibly powerful.
The next morning.
Phi Phi, Dinh Dinh, and Van Van went to school with their schoolbags as usual.
"Van Van, I heard from my mom that something happened to you last night, right?"
Phi Phi was very concerned about her little sisters. Although she certainly couldn't compare to others in academics, when it came to caring for others, Phi Phi was particularly outstanding, just like a little adult.
Van Van said: "It's nothing. Haven't I been taking the crystals all this time? Uncle Lam said this was caused by my ability increasing."
"Oh, it's good that you're okay. You scared me for a moment. I only found out this morning. I went to bed early last night."
Phi Phi patted her chest, clearly relieved.
The children staying at the Duong Quang shelter all knew about Awakened ones and crystals.
Their curriculum even included an "Illustrated Guide to Zombies" class.
The teachers would earnestly explain the details within.
For these things that were frightening just to look at, they had no resistance whatsoever, because the teachers had said that this was a very important subject, and they absolutely could not have any psychological resistance to it.
"I'll secretly tell you a little secret. I can actually fly."
Van Van said in a small voice.
Phi Phi: ".....?"
Dinh Dinh: "...?"
They stopped in their tracks, their eyes wide, as if they had heard something incredibly unbelievable.
"Look."
Van Van manipulated her mental power, her feet slowly levitating, maintaining a certain distance from the ground. This scene left her two little sisters staring with their eyes wide and mouths agape.
Even their small mouths had formed an 'O' shape.
"Wow, that's so amazing."
Dinh Dinh's eyes were sparkling.
Even Phi Phi was nodding frantically, raising her head and saying proudly, "Amazing! My little sister can fly."
Seeing her happy appearance, it was as if she herself could fly.
Van Van slowly landed on the ground. "It's pretty good. I'm a little afraid of heights, so I don't dare to fly too high, but I'll work hard to overcome it. Uncle Lam told me that as long as I get stronger and stronger, I can better protect everyone."
Her greatest hope was to be able to protect everyone and protect her little sisters by her side.
Just then, Chu Duong, who was preparing to enter the gate, saw the three innocent little friends and greeted them with a smile.
"Phi Phi, good morning."
