Rebirth in the Apocalypse: Space Hoarding and Supernatural Abilities Rise

Su Yao was reborn with the painful memories of the previous apocalypse. With only a month until the apocalypse struck again, she decided not to sit idly by.

She spent all her savings to hoard...

Chapter 262 The High Temperature Dilemma and Breakthrough

Su Yao cleverly arranged the stockpiled ice blocks in the safe house, which temporarily alleviated the intense heat, creating a small, cool haven in this apocalyptic world. However, Su Yao knew that this was merely a reprieve, a race against time to save her life.

She stood in the center of the safe house, eyes closed, concentrating on communicating with the system, trying to find more possible opportunities for survival. "System, scan the surrounding environment, look for all usable resources and potential threats, prioritize searching for clues related to cooling and energy," Su Yao silently issued the command in her mind.

The system responded swiftly, a cold electronic voice ringing in her mind: "An abandoned research station has been detected seven kilometers to the southwest. According to the database, the station may contain high-performance insulation materials and energy devices that have not yet completely failed, but the area has been occupied by a high-temperature mutated biological community, making it extremely dangerous."

Su Yao slowly opened her eyes, a resolute glint in them. "Mom and Dad, I have to go to that research station. Only by getting the supplies inside will we have a better chance of surviving this heatwave disaster." Her tone was firm and left no room for argument.

The parents' faces were filled with worry and reluctance, but they also understood that the only way to turn the tide was to let Su Yao take a chance. The mother held her hand tightly, tears welling in her eyes: "Yao Yao, you must come back safely."

Su Yao nodded slightly, turned and walked towards the storage space, selecting several handy weapons and protective gear. She put on a specially made cloak that could reflect high-temperature rays, donned goggles that enhanced her vision and provided protection, tucked an extremely sharp supernatural dagger into her waistband, and gripped a pistol capable of firing freezing energy blasts in her hand. With everything ready, she took a deep breath and resolutely stepped out of the safe house.

As soon as she stepped outside, an overwhelming wave of intense heat swept over her like a raging tide. Su Yao instantly felt her breath catch in her throat, as if her lungs were about to be ignited by the heat. She endured the discomfort, activated her inner power, and erected a light blue energy shield around her body before speeding off in the southwest.

Along the way, the earth beneath her feet was cracked and crisscrossed, like gaping, hungry maws that spewed forth scalding steam and lava. Su Yao carefully avoided these dangers while remaining wary of the high-temperature mutated creatures that might appear at any moment.

Halfway there, a pack of flame wolves engulfed in flames surrounded them from all directions. The wolves' eyes flashed with a fierce red light, and they emitted low growls. Su Yao quickly stopped, her body tense, her eyes scanning her surroundings warily.

The Flame Wolves launched the first attack, swarming towards Su Yao like arrows released from a bow, spewing forth streams of scorching flames. Su Yao reacted swiftly, dodging the oncoming wolves with a swift movement, while simultaneously firing her cryogenic pistol, sending several freezing energy bullets hurtling towards the wolf pack. The energy bullets exploded within the wolves, releasing waves of chilling energy that temporarily halted their advance.

But the Flame Wolves quickly recovered from the shock of the freezing energy. They changed tactics, running rapidly around Su Yao to form an encirclement, trying to wear her down. Seeing this, Su Yao silently pondered a countermeasure. She suddenly crouched down, plunged her supernatural dagger into the ground, and chanted incantations, activating her supernatural power to create a small ice spike trap around herself.

Unaware of the trap, the Flame Wolves continued to close in. As they stepped into the ice spike trap's range, Su Yao stomped her foot, instantly sending countless sharp ice spikes flying from the ground. The Flame Wolves were struck by the spikes, letting out painful howls. Taking advantage of the opportunity, Su Yao launched her attack. Wielding her supernatural dagger, she charged into the Flame Wolf pack, engaging them in close combat.

Her figure moved nimbly through the pack of fire wolves, each swing of her supernatural dagger claiming the life of a wolf. After a fierce battle, Su Yao finally managed to repel the pack. Without a moment's rest, she continued her journey towards the abandoned research station.

Finally, the abandoned research station came into view. The building was dilapidated from the intense heat, its exterior walls riddled with cracks and scorch marks. Su Yao cautiously entered the research station, wary of any potential dangers.

The station was in a mess, with various instruments and equipment scattered all over the floor. Su Yao activated the system's detection function and began searching for the location of insulation materials and energy devices. Guided by the system, she found a batch of high-performance insulation nano-coatings and a quantum energy generator that could still be repaired and used in the basement.

Just as she was about to take the supplies away, the research station's alarm suddenly went off. Su Yao was startled; she knew that her actions must have triggered the research station's defense mechanism or attracted dangerous creatures in the vicinity.

She hurriedly stored the supplies in her spatial storage and then ran towards the exit. However, at the exit, a huge, high-temperature mechanical golem blocked her way. This mechanical golem radiated intense heat from its entire body, and its arms were equipped with various high-temperature weapons.

Su Yao's eyes sharpened; she knew a fierce battle was inevitable. She took a deep breath, channeling all her supernatural abilities, her hands rapidly forming hand seals, and she chanted an ancient incantation. As the incantation was recited, a layer of complex energy runes appeared around her body.

The mechanical puppet launched the first attack, firing a scorching laser beam from its high-temperature laser cannon at Su Yao. Su Yao dared not take it head-on. She flashed forward, using her spatial abilities to instantly move to the side of the mechanical puppet, then plunged her power-equipped dagger fiercely into its joint.

The mechanical puppet reacted quickly, swinging its other arm horizontally towards Su Yao. Su Yao hurriedly retreated, simultaneously firing her freeze pistol repeatedly in an attempt to lower the puppet's temperature and weaken its attack capabilities.

In the fierce battle, Su Yao gradually discovered the mechanical puppet's attack patterns and weaknesses. Seizing the opportunity, she activated her spatial ability again, teleporting behind the mechanical puppet. Then, she concentrated all her energy into her ability-equipped dagger and stabbed it fiercely at the mechanical puppet's core energy source.

With a loud crash, the mechanical puppet collapsed, and Su Yao successfully broke through the barrier. She dared not linger, quickly fleeing the abandoned research station and heading towards the safe house.

When she returned to the safe house with the precious supplies, she was exhausted, but her eyes were filled with hope. In this apocalyptic world of extreme heat, every adventure was a battle against death, but to protect her family and for that sliver of hope for survival, she was willing to risk everything.
