As the extreme cold of the apocalypse arrived, the entire world seemed to be enveloped by a giant freezer, the cold as merciless as the scythe of death, reaping the warmth of life. Su Yao's family huddled in their safe house, the chill seeping in from all directions, every inch of air feeling like icy steel needles, piercing their skin.

Su Yao wrapped herself tightly in her thick, homemade winter clothing. Although the chill still seeped in, she knew she had to remain calm, because she was one of her family's hopes for survival in this apocalypse. Her system and spatial abilities were their last resort, while her fire-based powers were their weapon against the bitter cold. The system's interface appeared in her mind—a data world visible only to her, displaying the status of supplies within the spatial realm and the state of her powers.

The space was filled with a large amount of food; in this icy wasteland, the steaming food was like a beacon in the darkness. Su Yao closed her eyes, concentrated, and reached into the space, retrieving several steaming lunchboxes. Inside were braised pork and hot soup prepared by her mother. The fat from the braised pork had solidified instantly at the low temperature, but the moment it was taken out, its fragrant aroma filled the cold air, bringing a touch of warmth and hope to this frigid world.

The family sat around the simple table, their hands stiff from the cold as they picked up their bowls and chopsticks and began to eat the hard-won hot meal. Each bite felt like a small flame igniting within them, dispelling the chill. A long-lost look of satisfaction appeared on Dad's face, while Mom's eyes welled with tears. This simple meal felt incredibly precious at that moment.

After finishing her meal, Su Yao decided to use her fire-based supernatural ability to increase the temperature of the safe house. She walked to the center of the house and slowly raised her hands, palms facing upwards. A ghostly blue flame rose from her palms, initially just a weak spark, but as she concentrated, the flame gradually grew larger and stronger. The temperature of the flame rapidly increased, and the surrounding ice and snow began to melt, dripping onto the ground. Su Yao carefully controlled the flame, ensuring it distributed heat evenly while avoiding damaging the safe house's structure due to excessive heat.

However, using her fire-based abilities had drained Su Yao's physical and mental strength. Cold sweat began to bead on her forehead, and her body trembled slightly. Seeing this, her mother quickly took out some energy crystals from her spatial storage and handed them to Su Yao. These energy crystals had been obtained by chance while gathering supplies, and they hadn't expected them to come in handy now. Su Yao took the crystals, held them in her hand, and felt the energy within them slowly flowing into her body, replenishing her depleted strength.

After warming up the safe house, Su Yao's family began discussing their next steps. They knew they couldn't rely on the food inside indefinitely and needed to find more resources in this extremely cold environment. The father suggested checking a nearby warehouse, where there might be more warm clothing and food. Su Yao and her mother agreed, but they also understood that going out meant facing the bitter cold and potential dangers.

After preparing their weapons and warm clothing, Su Yao and her family opened the door to the safe house. A biting gust of wind, mixed with snowflakes, rushed in and instantly enveloped them. Su Yao walked in front, her fire-based ability forming a weak shield around her body, offering some protection from the cold. Her parents followed closely behind, pulling a makeshift sled loaded with necessary tools and spare warm clothing.

The outside world was a blanket of white, the snow already knee-deep. Most of the zombies on the streets were frozen in place, some still in their life positions, like terrifying ice sculptures. Su Yao and her companions moved cautiously through the snow, each step requiring great effort. They headed towards the warehouse, vigilantly observing their surroundings, ready to deal with any potential dangers.

In this extremely cold apocalyptic world, Su Yao's family, carrying hope and courage, relied on the system, spatial abilities, and fire-based superpowers to struggle forward on the unknown path to survival.
