Su Yao enjoyed a brief reunion with her parents in the safe house, savoring this moment of peace. However, she remained constantly on edge, always alert to the harsh environment outside.
This safe house was painstakingly found and reinforced by Su Yao. Its walls are made of special heat-insulating materials, capable of withstanding most of the high temperatures from the outside. The house is also equipped with an independent air circulation system, filtering the air multiple times to ensure fresh air and a comfortable temperature. While not spacious, the space is large enough to accommodate Su Yao, her team members, and her parents.
Su Yao sat on the edge of the bed, opened the system interface, and carefully checked the supplies. Her space contained a large amount of food, water, and various daily necessities. The food included compressed dry rations and energy bars, both high in calories and capable of providing ample energy for the body in harsh environments. The water was sealed in a special container, enough to last them for several months. In addition, there were various medicines and protective equipment.
"Su Yao, when will this apocalypse finally end?" her mother asked with a worried expression.
Su Yao gently held her mother's hand and comforted her, "Mom, don't worry. As long as we're in this safe house, we'll be safe for now. I'll find a way to improve my strength and find a solution."
She got up and began assigning tasks to her team members. Some team members were responsible for checking the various facilities in the safe house to ensure they were functioning properly; others were engaged in physical training inside to maintain a good combat readiness.
Su Yao then went to a secret room where she kept the precious crystal clusters she had collected in the apocalypse. These crystal clusters contained powerful energy, which was key to enhancing her superpowers. She sat cross-legged on the ground, held the crystal clusters in her hands, and began to absorb the energy within, guiding it to flow slowly through her meridians to strengthen the foundation of her superpowers.
Suddenly, a system alarm blared: "The high temperature is intensifying, and the external temperature is about to exceed the critical value. Please take protective measures!"
Su Yao opened her eyes, her gaze resolute. She quickly left the secret room and directed her team to reinforce the safe house's defenses. She used her spatial powers to retrieve more insulation material, covering the roof and walls of the safe house. At the same time, she instructed the water elementalists to deploy a thick water curtain shield around the safe house. Although the water curtain would evaporate quickly under the high temperature, it would still provide some buffering effect.
As the intense heat approached, the scene around the safe house became increasingly terrifying. The ground began to crack, and scalding steam spewed from huge fissures. In the distance, the mountains gradually melted under the intense heat, forming lava rivers that flowed slowly.
Su Yao knew that relying solely on passive defense was not a long-term solution. She reopened the system, searching for ways to combat the current high-temperature attack. The system displayed an ancient formation that could utilize the energy of crystal clusters to construct a powerful energy shield, enveloping the safe house and greatly enhancing its protective capabilities.
However, constructing this formation requires precise location planning and powerful supernatural abilities. Without hesitation, Su Yao led her team members to follow the system's instructions, burying crystal clusters around the safe house and infusing them with her own supernatural abilities.
During the construction of the formation, they were constantly bombarded by high temperatures. Su Yao's forehead was covered in sweat, but she gritted her teeth and persevered, continuously adjusting the energy output of the crystal cluster. The team members also used their special abilities to help Su Yao stabilize the formation.
Finally, after a period of arduous effort, the formation was successfully activated. A dazzling light enveloped the safe house, isolating it from the intense heat outside. Su Yao and her team collapsed wearily onto the ground, but their eyes were filled with hope.
"This time we've managed to hold them off for now, but the dangers of this apocalypse will only increase," Su Yao murmured to herself, staring at the ceiling of the safe house.
She knew the road ahead was long, and she had to keep exploring and growing to protect her loved ones and this last peaceful place in this apocalyptic world of extreme heat. Whether facing more powerful mutated creatures or an increasingly harsh natural environment, she could not back down in the slightest.
