Standing in front of the base's greenhouse, Su Yao gazed at the newly sprouting vegetables, her heart filled with satisfaction. But she knew this was far from enough. "System, search for the next stockpile location," Su Yao said softly. "Detected an abandoned military base in the north of the city. It may contain a large quantity of weapons and ammunition, warm tents, and emergency medical supplies," the system's cold voice echoed in Su Yao's mind.
"Ling Yu, Cloaked Man, let's head to the abandoned military base in the north of the city. The supplies there are crucial to us," Su Yao called to the two, her eyes resolute. The three once again stepped into the icy world, where howling winds and extremely low visibility made it difficult to see. Ling Yu led the way, breaking through the ice, his ice-based abilities constantly being depleted, yet he gritted his teeth and persevered. The Cloaked Man stood guard beside him, vigilantly watching their surroundings, ready to respond to any sudden dangers. Su Yao, meanwhile, was mentally planning the storage and future use of the military base's supplies.
After several hours of arduous trekking, the abandoned military base came into view. The tall walls were covered in snow and ice, exuding a chilling atmosphere. The base gate was tightly shut. Su Yao used her spatial abilities to probe the lock, and after a moment, with a "click," the gate slowly opened.
Upon entering the base warehouse, rows of neatly arranged shelves were filled with various supplies. Su Yao quickly stored boxes of ammunition into her system space, while Ling Yu carried a thermal tent, excitedly saying, "With these tents, we can accommodate more survivors." The cloaked figure carefully selected items in the medical supplies area, organizing precious medicines, bandages, and medical equipment one by one.
However, as they ventured deeper into the base's underground warehouse, they triggered the base's defensive mechanisms. Beams of laser light shot out from the walls, crisscrossing and crisscrossing. Su Yao's eyes narrowed, and her spatial abilities instantly activated, distorting the surrounding space and deflecting the laser beams off course. Ling Yu wielded his ice sword, deflecting the approaching lasers back and destroying the firing devices. The cloaked figure threw out defensive talismans, forming a barrier to protect everyone from the aftershocks.
After resolving the mechanical crisis, they discovered a batch of valuable energy shield generators in a corner of the underground warehouse. Su Yao was overjoyed, as this would greatly enhance the base's defenses. Just as she was about to store them, the base's alarm suddenly sounded. A group of mechanical puppets, disturbed by the mechanical traps, surged in from all directions. These puppets were sturdy and well-equipped.
Ling Yu charged forward first, engaging the mechanical puppet in close combat, his ice sword striking its body and sending sparks flying. The cloaked figure formed hand seals and chanted ancient incantations, summoning mysterious runes to attack the puppet's weaknesses. Su Yao, on the other hand, used her spatial abilities to teleport some of the puppets to a distance, defeating them one by one.
After a thrilling battle, all the mechanical puppets were paralyzed. Su Yao and her two companions were exhausted, but looking at the abundant supplies they had acquired, their hearts were filled with hope. On the way back to the base, Su Yao had more plans for the future: "These weapons and ammunition can form a guard team to protect the base. Medical supplies can treat more wounded people, and energy shield generators can be installed around the base to defend against external invasion."
Upon returning to base, they immediately began organizing supplies and constructing the base. Ling Yu organized the strongest survivors for weapons training, while the cloaked figures set up rune arrays around the base to enhance its defensive stability. Su Yao, meanwhile, researched the use of the energy shield generator within the system space, and simultaneously used the collected materials to attempt to create more tools and equipment adapted to the extreme cold environment.
As the stockpiling operation continued, the base gradually expanded and its functions became increasingly complete. However, Su Yao knew that there were still many dangers and unknowns in the extreme cold world. They had to keep getting stronger, continue stockpiling supplies, guard the light of hope in this icy wasteland, support a warm sky for the future of humanity, and embark on this endless journey of stockpiling until the world regained its vitality and prosperity.
