As the mysterious figure in black robes fell, Su Yao, Ling Yu, and the cloaked man breathed a sigh of relief. But they understood that this victory was only temporary; the threat of extreme cold still loomed over the world. Su Yao knew the importance of stockpiling supplies; only with sufficient resources could they survive in this harsh apocalypse and help more people.
Su Yao closed her eyes and focused on communicating with the system. "System, search for nearby collectible resources and filter out a list of supplies suitable for stockpiling." A moment later, the system's voice sounded in her mind, listing a series of supplies, including warm clothing, high-calorie food, energy ores, and various building materials.
“Let’s go collect warm clothes and food first; that’s what people urgently need right now,” Su Yao said to Ling Yu and the cloaked figure. The three headed towards the city’s commercial district. The streets were covered with thick snow and ice, and the biting wind howled, the chill seemingly penetrating to the soul.
They arrived at a large shopping mall, and Su Yao easily opened the tightly closed doors using her spatial abilities. The mall was in a mess; many shelves were covered in snow and ice, but a considerable amount of goods were still buried underneath. Ling Yu and the cloaked figure were responsible for clearing the snow and ice, while Su Yao, guided by the system, quickly collected warm clothing, such as down jackets, blankets, and thick quilts, which she stored in her system space.
Next, they went to the food section. Various canned goods, dry food, chocolate, and other foods were neatly stacked on the shelves. Su Yao devoured all these high-calorie items, while also collecting some seasonings and drinking water. "These things can bring people a touch of warmth and comfort in the cold," Su Yao said.
While collecting supplies, Su Yao discovered some seeds forgotten in a corner. "These seeds are a symbol of hope. If we can find a suitable place to plant them, perhaps we can solve the food problem in the future." She carefully put the seeds away.
After leaving the mall, they headed to the energy mining area. Su Yao knew that in the extremely cold environment, energy was crucial for survival and rebuilding their homes. At the mine, they collected large quantities of coal, oil, and some precious energy ores. This energy could not only be used for heating but also to power various mechanical equipment.
However, the collection of supplies was not without its challenges. Along the way, they encountered a group of mutated creatures driven mad by hunger. These creatures were enormous and incredibly powerful. Ling Yu charged forward first, wielding his ice sword and engaging the mutated creatures in fierce combat. The cloaked figure cast spells to assist Ling Yu from the sidelines. Su Yao used her spatial abilities to transform the surrounding ice and snow into sharp ice blades, attacking the mutated creatures' weaknesses.
After a fierce battle, they finally repelled the mutated creatures. However, Su Yao also realized that as the extreme cold continued, the world would become more dangerous and chaotic, and they needed to continuously improve their strength and the amount of supplies they had stockpiled.
Back at the temporary base, Su Yao began organizing the supplies in her system space. She categorized and stored warm clothing and food, and set up a special area for storing energy ores and building materials. She also used the system's functions to preserve some perishable foods.
“Next, we need to develop a plan to rebuild our homes,” Su Yao said to Ling Yu and the cloaked figure. “We can use the building materials we’ve collected to first build some simple shelters for the survivors, and then gradually restore the city’s infrastructure,” Ling Yu suggested.
The cloaked figure nodded in agreement, "We can also organize self-defense training for some survivors to improve their survival skills."
Su Yao looked at them, her heart filled with hope. "As long as we work together, we will definitely be able to rebuild our homes in this extremely cold apocalypse and allow human civilization to continue."
In the days that followed, Su Yao and her two companions continued to traverse this icy and snowy world, stockpiling goods and supplies, striving to rebuild their homes. They knew that the road ahead was fraught with hardship and challenges, but the supplies they had and the hope in their hearts would become their powerful weapons to overcome these difficulties.
