Su Yao stayed inside the safe house, listening to the howling wind and the scorching heat outside, which seemed to roar like a demon, threatening to reduce everything in the world to ashes. She knew that the current defenses could not last long, and she had to find a new way to survive.
"System, check the indoor resource reserves, especially energy and insulation materials," Su Yao silently instructed, her eyes fixed on the system screen.
"The remaining energy can only sustain the existing protective equipment for two days, and the insulation material is also severely insufficient." The system's cold voice made Su Yao frown even more.
She looked at her parents and saw worry in their eyes, but also trust in them. Su Yao took a deep breath, turned and walked to the spatial storage area, taking out some spare energy stones and a small amount of heat-insulating fiber. "Replenish these first, it'll last for a while," she said as she began to work.
However, she knew in her heart that this was just a drop in the ocean. After thinking for a moment, Su Yao decided to risk going out again. "Mom and Dad, I'm going out to look for more energy or something to improve insulation. You two stay here and don't wander off."
Although her parents wanted to dissuade her, they understood that this was the only way out and could only tell her to be careful. Su Yao put on a specially made high-temperature resistant protective suit, activated her supernatural shield, and resolutely stepped into the high temperature.
As soon as she stepped outside, a scorching heatwave swept over her like a raging tide, making it difficult for Su Yao to breathe. Braving the intense heat, she struggled forward, guided by the system, heading towards an abandoned factory a few kilometers away. It was said to have once been a research base; perhaps she could find something useful there.
Along the way, the ground was scorching hot, and scalding steam occasionally spewed from the cracks. Su Yao carefully avoided the dangers and finally arrived at the abandoned factory. The factory was a mess, with scorching metal parts scattered all over the ground.
Su Yao activated the system scan, leaving no corner unchecked. Suddenly, the system notified her that an object resembling a new type of energy core had been discovered in the basement. Overjoyed, she hurriedly ran towards the basement entrance.
The basement was dark and damp, filled with a stench of decay mixed with intense heat. As soon as Su Yao stepped inside, she was attacked by several rats that had mutated due to the high temperature. These rats were enormous, with teeth as sharp as knives.
Su Yao's eyes turned cold, and a supernatural light whip appeared in her hand. She swung the whip, striking the rats precisely. The rats squeaked sharply, but still pounced on her frantically. Su Yao calmly responded, using her surroundings to dodge the attacks while continuously counterattacking. After a fierce battle, she finally wiped out all the rats.
Continuing deeper into the basement, Su Yao found the new energy core that was emitting a faint glow. Just as she was about to collect it, the basement suddenly shook violently, and huge cracks appeared in the walls.
"Oh no, it's going to collapse!" Su Yao exclaimed in alarm. She rushed towards the energy core, quickly stored it in her spatial storage, and then sprinted towards the exit. At the last second, she escaped the basement.
But the crisis was not over. A group of high-temperature zombies had gathered outside the factory. These zombies had cracked skin, emitted a pungent burning smell, but moved with extreme agility.
Su Yao gritted her teeth, channeling all her supernatural abilities, and a flaming longsword appeared in her hand. She charged into the horde of zombies, wielding the sword, each strike felling a group of zombies. The zombies' claws kept reaching for her, but were blocked by her supernatural shield.
After a thrilling battle, Su Yao finally fought her way out. Exhausted, she returned to the safe house with the new energy core.
After the energy core was installed, the safe house's energy was greatly replenished, and its protective capabilities were significantly enhanced. Su Yao breathed a sigh of relief and slumped to the ground. But she knew that the dangers of the high-temperature apocalypse were still omnipresent, and they must remain vigilant at all times, constantly searching for hope of survival in order to protect each other in this desperate situation.
