With the upgraded climate control device, Su Yao began planning to build a small base around the safe house. She knew that the safe house alone could not sustain everyone's survival and development in the long run; a complete base could provide more resources and security.
Standing in front of the safe house, Su Yao used the system to scan the surrounding terrain and plan the base layout. "We'll designate an area here to grow crops, build some livestock sheds over there, and in the middle is our core living area, where we need to reinforce the fortifications," she said to the group.
Ling Yu looked at Su Yao's well-organized arrangements with admiration. "I will be in charge of building the fortifications. My ice-type ability can quickly solidify building materials."
Su Yao's father nodded and said, "Your mother and I are going to prepare the land in the planting area for sowing."
After the tasks were clearly defined, everyone immediately got to work. Ling Yu formed hand seals, and icy blue light flickered in his hands. Huge ice blocks appeared out of thin air, and he directed them to be stacked around the edge of the base, building a sturdy ice wall. The ice wall gleamed coldly in the sunlight; it was not only incredibly hard but also resistant to the intense heat.
Su Yao used her spatial abilities to quickly transport collected building materials and tools to various construction areas, greatly improving work efficiency. She also set up spatial traps within the base, which would trap any invading enemies in distorted spaces.
Su Yao's parents worked diligently in the planting area, using their supernatural abilities to loosen the soil, sowing heat-resistant crop seeds they had found in the ruins, and creating a suitable growing environment for the seeds through a climate-regulating device. Under their careful care, the seeds quickly germinated, and tender green seedlings broke through the soil, bringing a glimmer of life to the barren base.
However, the construction of the base was not without its challenges. One day, a group of bandits, having heard that Su Yao and her companions had established a base there and possessed valuable resources, came to attack. The bandits, driving rudimentary vehicles and wielding various weapons, roared towards the base.
Su Yao's system promptly issued an alert. "Prepare for battle. We can't let them destroy our base construction," she said with a determined look in her eyes.
Ling Yu stood on the ice wall, wielding his ice sword, sending ice blades flying like arrows towards the bandits. The bandits scrambled to avoid them, but many were still cut by the ice blades. Su Yao's father summoned earth spikes around the planting area to prevent the bandits from getting closer. Su Yao, using her spatial abilities, charged into the enemy ranks, creating a spatial vortex within the bandits' ranks, engulfing their weapons and rendering them unable to fight.
Seeing the situation was dire, the bandit leader personally rushed forward. He was a powerful individual with lightning-based abilities. He gathered lightning in his hands and struck towards Su Yao. Su Yao remained calm, using her spatial abilities to create a barrier in front of her. The lightning struck the barrier, sending sparks flying.
"Your opponent is me!" Ling Yu jumped down from the ice wall, and his ice-type and lightning-type abilities collided in mid-air, emitting a dazzling light and a deafening roar.
Taking advantage of the opportunity, Su Yao circled around to the bandit leader's back, pressing her spatial dagger against his throat. "Tell your men to retreat, or you're dead," Su Yao said coldly.
The bandit leader was unwilling, but under Su Yao's threat, he had no choice but to order a retreat. Watching the bandits disappear into the distance, Su Yao knew that such attacks would be frequent in the future. "We must accelerate the construction of our base and simultaneously enhance our strength. Only in this way can we truly establish ourselves in this apocalyptic world."
After the attack, everyone devoted themselves even more diligently to the base's construction. Su Yao systematically researched new methods to enhance her abilities, Ling Yu continuously honed his ice-type abilities, and Su Yao's parents constantly innovated and improved agricultural planting and defensive fortifications. As time passed, the base gradually took shape, crops thrived, and some small animals appeared in the breeding sheds. Their survival base in the high-temperature apocalypse began to take shape, and Su Yao and the others continued to move towards a stronger and more stable future.
