As Su Yao stepped into the safe house, warmth instantly enveloped her, and the familiar environment eased her tense nerves. Her parents were already there to greet her, their worried expressions instantly turning to joy.
"Mom and Dad, I'm back. I was able to return safely this time entirely thanks to Ling Yu and the cloaked man. They saved my life many times at the brink of death," Su Yao said excitedly. Her parents quickly expressed their gratitude to Ling Yu and the cloaked man. Ling Yu just smiled shyly, and the cloaked man nodded slightly in acknowledgment.
As everyone sat together, Su Yao's expression gradually turned serious: "Mom and Dad, I have some extremely important news to tell you. Through my system's detection and analysis, this extreme cold apocalypse is probably about to pass, and what we are about to face is a high-temperature apocalypse."
Su Yao's parents looked panicked: "A high-temperature apocalypse? What are we going to do? We've been preparing for extreme cold, and most of our supplies are for keeping warm and protecting against the cold."
Ling Yu said, "Uncle and Aunt, there's no need to worry too much. Since we were able to survive in the extreme cold, we will definitely find a way to cope with the high temperatures. On this trip, we have gained a lot of supplies and information, including some usable resources."
Su Yao nodded and continued, "That's right. We've obtained some special crystals and materials that might be able to adapt to high-temperature environments through system modifications. I'm also thinking that the safety house's protection and temperature control system needs a complete upgrade, converting its cold-proof function into a heat-insulating and cooling function."
The cloaked figure took out some items from the bag: "These are heat-insulating talismans and materials collected during previous expeditions. Although the quantity is small, they can serve as the basis for modification."
Subsequently, Su Yao, Ling Yu, and the cloaked figure began a detailed survey of the safe house and formulated a renovation plan. Su Yao used the system to conduct a comprehensive scan of the safe house's structure and energy lines, analyzing how to optimize it to maximize its resistance to high temperatures. Ling Yu, relying on his control over ice-based abilities, investigated whether it was possible to reverse the ice energy to create a low-temperature zone. The cloaked figure drew rune arrays on the side, attempting to enhance the safe house's stability and protective capabilities.
When discussing supplies, Su Yao said, "Water will be extremely precious in high temperatures, so we need to find more water storage containers and water purification equipment. We also need to collect some heat-resistant and easy-to-store food varieties."
Ling Yu recalled: "I saw some metal containers in an abandoned warehouse before. They were very well sealed and could be used to store water. There were also some dehydrated vegetables and canned goods, which should be able to withstand high-temperature environments."
However, just as they were making their plans, the alarm in the safe house suddenly went off. Su Yao checked the system and found that the outside temperature was rising sharply, and the surrounding ice and snow were melting rapidly, forming a raging torrent of water.
"Oh no! The transition from extreme cold to high temperatures is happening faster than we expected. The safe house might be flooded!" Su Yao shouted anxiously.
Everyone immediately sprang into action. Ling Yu and the cloaked figure went outside to reinforce the protective dikes around the safe house using their supernatural abilities and talismans. Su Yao, meanwhile, remained inside, using her spatial abilities to move important supplies to higher ground and activating the safe house's emergency drainage system.
After a tense and busy period, they temporarily stabilized the situation in the safe house. But Su Yao knew that this was only the first challenge brought about by the high-temperature apocalypse, and many more difficulties and dangers awaited them in the future.
"Next, we need to speed up the renovation process while also venturing out to find more supplies and methods to cope with the high temperatures." Su Yao looked at everyone with determination in her eyes. At this critical juncture in the apocalypse, only by uniting as one can they find a glimmer of hope in the impending high-temperature disaster, protect this small safe haven, and continue writing a chapter of survival in extreme environments.
