Su Yao immersed herself in the research, working tirelessly day and night. After many days of study and repeated experiments, she finally achieved a major breakthrough. She successfully upgraded the climate control device in the safe house using the scientific data and materials she found. The upgraded device can not only lower the surrounding temperature more efficiently, but also purify the air, filtering out radioactive dust and harmful substances.
"This upgrade should make us more comfortable and safer in the safe house, but we can't stop exploring," Su Yao said to everyone.
However, at that moment, Su Yao's system suddenly detected a mysterious energy fluctuation coming from the depths of the distant desert. This energy fluctuation was unlike any they had encountered before, and seemed to contain some unknown and powerful force.
“This energy fluctuation is very unusual. There might be new opportunities or dangers. We need to go and check it out,” Su Yao decided.
The group embarked on their journey once more, heading deeper into the desert. Along the way, the scorching heat and sandstorms continued to rage, but having learned from their previous experience, they were now able to cope with them with a degree of ease.
As they approached the source of the energy fluctuations, they discovered a massive, ancient ruin radiating a ghostly blue light. The ruin's architecture was peculiar, filled with mysterious runes and patterns, clearly not belonging to this era's civilization.
"What is this place? It looks like a relic left by an ancient civilization," Ling Yu exclaimed.
Su Yao activated the system's detection function, but the system seemed to be interfered with in front of the ruins, only able to obtain some vague information, indicating that the ruins might contain powerful technological weapons or key items that could change the situation of the high-temperature apocalypse.
"No matter what, let's go in and take a look, but everyone be careful, there are definitely all sorts of unknown dangers inside," Su Yao said cautiously.
As the group stepped into the ruins, the entrance behind them slowly closed, and a low alarm sounded within. Immediately afterward, a swarm of mechanical guards surged out from all directions. These guards were small in stature but agile, well-equipped with sophisticated weaponry, and their eyes gleamed with a cold blue light as they launched a fierce attack on the group.
Su Yao swiftly used her spatial abilities to create a spatial shield in front of everyone, blocking the mechanical guards' attacks. Ling Yu, meanwhile, wielded his ice sword, unleashing his ice-based abilities to freeze the approaching mechanical guards. Su Yao's parents also worked in perfect harmony; her father controlled a homemade energy weapon to attack the distant guards, while her mother replenished ammunition and kept an eye on the surrounding area.
“There are too many of these mechanical guards. We need to find their control center and shut it down,” Su Yao said.
Using the system, she searched for the location of the control center within a limited detection range and finally discovered an energy core deep within the ruins, which should be the location of the control center.
"I'm going to destroy that energy core. You guys stay here and hold off these guards," Su Yao said.
Using teleportation, she evaded the mechanical guards' attacks and advanced deeper into the ruins. Along the way, she encountered various traps and mechanisms, including laser beams and energy pulse traps, but thanks to her spatial abilities and the system's warnings, she skillfully avoided them all.
When she finally reached the energy core, she found it protected by an even stronger energy shield. Su Yao tried various methods, but none could break through the shield. Just as she was in trouble, the system suddenly prompted her that she could combine the energy runes within the ruins with her spatial abilities to break the shield.
Su Yao began searching for energy runes within the ruins. She found some runes emitting a faint glow on the walls and the ground, and then used her spatial abilities to guide the energy of these runes into her hands, forming a powerful energy beam.
She unleashed the energy beam at the energy core's shield, and in a dazzling flash, the shield finally shattered. Without hesitation, Su Yao channeled her spatial abilities into the energy core, destroying it completely.
With the destruction of the energy core, the mechanical guards ceased their attacks, and the alarms within the ruins stopped. The group continued exploring the ruins, discovering powerful technological weapons capable of firing high-temperature resistant energy waves, highly effective against the various dangerous creatures and harsh environments of the post-apocalyptic world.
Furthermore, they found some valuable records about ancient civilizations' predictions and coping strategies for a high-temperature apocalypse. Su Yao was overjoyed, knowing that these records would be of paramount importance to their future survival and development.
The group returned to the safe house with their valuable finds. Su Yao began to delve into the records of these ancient civilizations, hoping to discover more secrets about the high-temperature apocalypse and the methods to completely change their fate, enabling them to truly master their own way of survival in this cruel world.
