As the alliance gradually stabilized, Su Yao turned her attention back to the ancient ruins scattered around the world. She knew that the technology and power contained within these ruins might be the key to humanity achieving greater breakthroughs in the high-temperature apocalypse.
Su Yao selected the most elite ability users and researchers in the alliance to form a relic exploration team. This time, their target was an ancient relic located in an extremely cold region. Legend has it that this relic is related to a mysterious force that controls the climate.
The expedition team set off in specially modified vehicles adapted for extreme cold. Along the way, they encountered raging blizzards, treacherous ice cliffs, and mutated creatures bred in the frigid environment. Su Yao used her spatial abilities to repeatedly transfer the team members to safety or create safe passages when danger struck.
When they arrived at the entrance to the ruins, they found a massive ice gate blocking their path. The ice gate was covered in intricate runes and patterns, exuding an ancient and mysterious aura. The researchers immediately began scanning and analyzing the ice gate, while Su Yao attempted to use her spatial abilities to sense what lay beyond.
"The runes on this ice gate seem to be an ancient seal that requires a specific energy frequency to open," the researchers said.
Su Yao pondered for a moment, then activated the system to check relevant information. The system prompted that ice-type and spatial abilities needed to be fused in a specific ratio and then injected into the rune core of the ice gate in order to open it.
Ling Yu stepped forward, unleashing his ice-based powers with both hands, while Su Yao intertwined her spatial powers with them. The two carefully channeled the fused energy into the core of the ice gate rune. The ice gate began to shimmer with dazzling light, then slowly opened.
The interior of the ruins was bitterly cold, and the walls on both sides of the passage were covered with thick layers of ice, which seemed to contain ancient biological specimens. As the expedition team ventured deeper into the passage, they suddenly heard a deep roar.
"Everyone be careful, we've alerted something!" Su Yao said warily.
Before the words were even finished, a colossal ice beast charged out from a side passage. This beast was as large as a mountain, its entire body covered in hard ice armor, and the icy breath it exhaled could freeze everything instantly.
The superhumans reacted quickly. Some released fire abilities to counter the beast's cold aura, while others used earth abilities to build defensive barriers. Ling Yu, on the other hand, continuously used ice abilities to interfere with the beast's movements and slow it down.
Su Yao seized the opportunity and used her spatial abilities to appear above the giant beast's head. She then created a small spatial vortex, attempting to draw the beast's consciousness into it and plunge it into temporary chaos.
With everyone working together, the giant beast was gradually subdued. Su Yao discovered that the beast's eyes were its weakness, so she concentrated her spatial abilities to attack them. After a fierce battle, the giant beast finally collapsed to the ground.
The expedition continued onward, arriving at the core area of the ruins. Here stood a colossal crystal tower, emanating a ghostly blue light that seemed to contain a source of power controlling the climate.
However, the area around the Crystal Tower is riddled with complex traps and mechanisms, including energy ray traps, space distortion traps, and automatically attacking mechanical golems.
Using her spatial abilities, Su Yao sensed the location and trigger mechanism of the traps in advance, leading her team to carefully avoid them. As for the mechanical puppets, the ability users joined forces to destroy them one by one.
Finally, they arrived at the foot of the Crystal Tower. Su Yao attempted to establish a connection with the Crystal Tower using the system to obtain its power. After some effort, the system successfully connected with the Crystal Tower.
Following the system's instructions, Su Yao channeled her spatial abilities into the crystal tower's energy interface, beginning to guide its climate control power. As the abilities were injected, the crystal tower's light grew stronger, gradually enveloping the entire ruins.
Suddenly, a wealth of knowledge and information about climate control flooded into Su Yao's mind. She knew that the Crystal Tower was transmitting power while also teaching her the relevant control methods.
The expedition returned to the Alliance with the joy of its success. Su Yao began to use her knowledge, combined with the Alliance's existing technology and energy system, to try to build a device capable of locally altering the climate. If successful, they would be able to open up more areas suitable for human habitation and agriculture in the high-temperature apocalypse, bringing new hope for human survival and development, and giving the Alliance greater confidence in this struggle against the apocalypse.
