After defeating the mysterious man in black robes, Su Yao and her companions rested briefly before embarking on their scavenging journey again. Standing outside the base, Su Yao gazed resolutely at the snow-covered city ruins in the distance and said to Ling Yu and the cloaked man, "We need to check out the industrial warehouses on the edge of the city; there might be many useful materials and tools there."
The three trudged across the icy plain, whipped by a fierce wind carrying snowflakes that lashed at them. Ling Yu gritted his teeth, gripping his ice sword tightly, remaining vigilant of his surroundings. The cloaked figure continuously cast minor spells to ward off the biting cold.
Finally, they arrived at a massive industrial warehouse. Su Yao used her spatial abilities to force open the door, which had been frozen shut by ice and snow. Inside, a musty, decaying smell permeated the air, and various metal shelves gleamed coldly in the extreme cold.
Su Yao rushed to the area where tools were stored, collecting wrenches, screwdrivers, welding machines, and other items into her system space. These tools would play a crucial role in rebuilding their home, essential for both repairing machinery and constructing temporary shelters. Ling Yu discovered a large quantity of metal materials nearby, such as steel pipes, plates, and wire. He laboriously moved them together, and Su Yao then stored them away.
"Look, there are some solar panels here!" the cloaked figure exclaimed in surprise. In this extremely cold and energy-scarce world, solar panels are undoubtedly precious treasures, capable of providing electricity when there is sunlight. Su Yao quickly and carefully put away the solar panels, pondering how to use them to build a simple power supply system.
After collecting supplies from the industrial warehouse, Su Yao received a system notification that there might be some vehicles and gasoline in the city's underground parking lot. They quickly moved to a new location and searched the dark and cold parking lot. Many vehicles were buried under ice and snow, but Ling Yu used his ice-type ability to melt the ice and snow, allowing Su Yao to successfully store some cars in better condition into her spatial storage, while also collecting a large number of gasoline cans.
However, as they prepared to leave the parking lot, a group of ice golems, fueled by frigid energy, suddenly appeared. These ice golems were enormous, their movements stiff yet possessing astonishing strength. Ling Yu immediately rushed forward, the lightning crystal core on his ice sword flashing once more, each swing leaving deep marks on the ice golems. The cloaked figure set up an array around them, slowing the ice golems' movements. Su Yao used her spatial abilities to create a spatial vortex, engulfing any approaching ice golems and pulverizing them.
After a fierce battle, they successfully repelled the ice golems. Looking at the exhausted two, Su Yao said, "Let's go back to base first, organize our supplies, and then plan our next move."
Back at base, Su Yao sorted and organized the newly collected supplies. She designated a specific area in her system space to store tools and materials, placing the solar panels in an easily accessible location. Vehicles and gasoline were stored in another area for safety.
Ling Yu looked at Su Yao, who was organizing supplies, and said, "We need more food, especially fresh ingredients. If we can find some supplies in greenhouses, we might be able to try growing vegetables." Su Yao nodded in agreement. She knew that in this apocalypse, canned food and dry rations alone could not sustain them for long.
So they set their sights on agricultural parks on the outskirts of the city. Despite the long and dangerous journey, driven by the hope of survival and rebuilding their homes, they set off again without hesitation. At the agricultural park, Su Yao found many seeds, fertilizers, and agricultural tools. Even more fortunately, they discovered several still-usable greenhouse frames. Su Yao collected all these supplies and began to conceive of how to establish a simple agricultural planting area near their base.
As their stockpiles increased, Su Yao and her two companions gained more confidence in rebuilding their homes. They knew that in this frigid apocalypse, every resource was a spark of hope, and they would use these sparks to ignite the flames of human survival and revival, carving a path to the future through the icy wilderness. No matter how many difficulties and obstacles lay ahead, they would steadfastly continue on their journey.
