Not long after Su Yao returned to the safe house, the system sent another message. This time, it indicated that deep within the city's underground drainage system, there might be a batch of cold-resistant medicines left over from the last century. These medicines could greatly enhance the human body's resistance to extreme cold, which was undoubtedly a godsend for Su Yao and her family.
After a brief preparation, Su Yao headed towards the entrance of the city's underground drainage system. The entrance was covered in thick ice and snow, so she used her fire-based abilities to burn a passage through it. Upon entering the drainage system, a pungent stench of decay assaulted her senses. The interior was dark and damp, with walls covered in moss and an unknown slime.
She hadn't gone far when Su Yao heard a series of squeaking sounds. A swarm of enormous mutated rats surged in from all directions, their teeth as sharp as steel knives and their eyes flashing with an eerie red light. Su Yao immediately cast a fire shield, instantly setting the approaching rats ablaze. But there were too many rats; disregarding the burning of their companions, they relentlessly pounced on Su Yao.
Su Yao took out a longsword imbued with wind-elemental power from her spatial storage. Each swing of the sword generated a powerful gust of wind, blowing away the swarm of rats. She fought as she moved in the direction indicated by the system. As she rounded a corner, she accidentally stepped on a trap, and suddenly many sharp ice spikes shot out from the surrounding walls. Su Yao quickly used her freezing ability to freeze the ice spikes in mid-air, then shattered them with her longsword.
As they went deeper, the water in the drainage system accumulated, and the water temperature was extremely low. Su Yao felt her legs gradually going numb. She increased the output of her fire-based abilities to keep her body warm. At this moment, some huge black shadows suddenly appeared in the water, and Su Yao watched the surface warily.
Suddenly, a gigantic mutated python burst from the water, its gaping maw lunging at Su Yao. Su Yao swiftly leaped backward, causing the python's attack to miss and crash into the wall beside her. Seizing the opportunity, Su Yao thrust her longsword at the python's head, but the python's scales were incredibly tough, and the sword only left a shallow mark on them.
The python attacked again, and Su Yao used her wind-elemental abilities to become even more agile, constantly dodging the python's attacks. While dodging, she noticed a lighter-colored scale on the python's belly, guessing that it might be its weak point.
Su Yao deliberately created an opening to lure the python into attacking. When the python lunged, she skillfully dodged, then used all her strength to thrust her longsword into the light-colored scale on the python's belly. The sword successfully pierced the scale, and the python writhed in pain, creating huge ripples in the water. Su Yao seized the opportunity to attack continuously, until the python gradually became still.
After dealing with the python, Su Yao continued towards her destination. Finally, she found a box containing cold-resistant potions in a secluded cave. The box was protected by an energy shield, and Su Yao tried to break through it with her powers, but the shield's energy was too strong.
Just as she was racking her brains for a solution, the cave began to shake violently, with rocks constantly falling from the surrounding area. Su Yao realized that the cave might collapse, and she was extremely anxious. Suddenly, she thought of using spatial energy to interfere with the shield. She fused spatial power with her supernatural abilities and launched an attack on the shield.
Just as the cave was about to completely collapse, the shield was finally broken. Su Yao quickly stored the cold-resistant potion in her spatial storage and then ran towards the exit. The moment she escaped the drainage system, a loud crash came from behind her, and the entire drainage system collapsed.
Su Yao returned to the ground and before she could even catch her breath, she noticed a flock of mutated birds in the sky. These birds were enormous, with sharp ice spikes covering their wings. They swooped down on Su Yao, who used her fire powers to create walls of fire to block their attacks.
The birds relentlessly rammed into the wall of fire, some even breaching its defenses. Su Yao engaged them in a fierce aerial battle. She used her longsword and supernatural abilities to attack the approaching birds while simultaneously dodging their ice spike attacks. After a hard-fought battle, Su Yao successfully repelled the birds.
Su Yao was exhausted, but she knew how important these cold-weather medications were to her family. Dragging her weary body, she headed towards the safe house. Along the way, she encountered a few minor dangers, but managed to overcome them all on her own.
When Su Yao returned to the safe house, her family breathed a sigh of relief upon seeing her safe return. Su Yao took out some cold-weather protection potions, and everyone was filled with hope; these potions would help them survive better in this extremely cold post-apocalyptic world.
