Su Yao took out the ice blocks she had painstakingly collected during the extreme cold period from her spatial storage. Each block exuded a chilling aura, temporarily providing a respite from the sweltering heat of the safe house. She and her parents carefully placed the ice blocks in specific containers and corners, and wisps of cool air began to spread throughout the house, creating a stark contrast with the raging heat outside.
"Yaoyao, how long will these ice blocks last?" Her father asked with a worried expression as he watched the ice blocks begin to melt.
Su Yao stared at the ice block with a serious expression: "It will only last two or three days at most. We need to use this time to think of other solutions."
She turned and walked to the system screen to check the surrounding environment information again. The system showed that about five kilometers to the south, there was a former artificial lake, which had now dried up, but there might be some special minerals at the bottom of the lake. These minerals might be able to produce an endothermic reaction under high temperatures, which could help alleviate the heat in the safe house.
Su Yao decided to go and find out for herself. She put on a heat-resistant protective suit, concentrated her supernatural power on her body to form an extra protective layer, then told her parents to stay inside before resolutely stepping into that scorching world.
As soon as she stepped outside, the scorching heat, like a ferocious beast, pounced on her. Su Yao felt as if she were inside a giant steamer, every inch of her skin enduring the torment of the intense heat. Gritting her teeth, she quickened her pace and ran towards her destination.
Along the way, all that could be seen was desolation and ruin. The earth was parched and cracked, with scalding steam and lava spewing from the fissures, and the air was filled with a pungent smell of burning. Su Yao carefully avoided these dangers, relying on the system's navigation to make her way forward with difficulty.
When she arrived at the dried-up artificial lake, she discovered that the lakebed was covered with a layer of crystals that shimmered with a strange light. Su Yao was overjoyed and was about to go forward to collect them when suddenly, the surrounding ground began to tremble violently.
A gigantic magma monster slowly emerged from the ground, its body composed of flowing magma, leaving a trail of burning footprints with each step. The magma monster opened its enormous mouth, letting out a deafening roar, and then spewed a torrent of magma towards Su Yao.
Su Yao swiftly dodged to the side, an ice sword formed from her supernatural power appearing in her hand. Seizing the opportunity, she charged towards the magma monster, slashing at its arm. The ice sword hissed as it touched the magma, splashing up a spray of scalding lava.
The magma monster, in pain and enraged, swung its arms even more fiercely, launching a fierce attack on Su Yao. Su Yao nimbly weaved through the gaps in its attacks, continuously striking the magma monster's vital points with her ice sword. However, the magma monster's body was too enormous and possessed extremely strong regenerative abilities; although Su Yao's attacks could inflict some damage, they were insufficient to completely defeat it.
In the fierce battle, Su Yao gradually realized that she couldn't win by brute force alone. She began to think about the magma monster's weaknesses, and suddenly, she thought of the crystals at the bottom of the lake. If she could utilize the heat-absorbing properties of these crystals, perhaps she could weaken the magma monster's power.
While dodging the magma monster's attacks, Su Yao used her powers to collect crystals from the bottom of the lake. She gathered the crystals in her hand and then threw them at the magma monster. Upon contact with the monster's body, the crystals quickly began to absorb heat, causing the monster's body to gradually solidify and its movements to become sluggish.
Seizing the opportunity, Su Yao unleashed all her supernatural abilities, maximizing the power of her ice sword. She leaped high into the air and thrust the sword into the core of the magma monster. With a deafening roar, the magma monster collapsed, turning into a pool of solidified magma.
Exhausted, Su Yao walked to the bottom of the lake, collected enough crystals, and returned to the safe house.
Back inside, she placed the crystals around the safe house. The crystals began to absorb heat, further lowering the temperature inside. But Su Yao knew this was only a temporary relief. She sat down, pondering her next strategy. In this apocalyptic world of extreme heat, every challenge was fraught with danger and uncertainty, but she couldn't give up. For her own survival and that of her parents, she had to constantly search for hope and fight against this cruel world to the very end.
