After resting briefly in the safe house, Su Yao set off again to search for supplies. This time, she knew the outside world would only be more brutal, and every step could be a matter of life and death.
Stepping out of the safe house, the frigid air felt like knives cutting into her face. Su Yao wrapped her in her winter clothes tighter and activated her supernatural ability. A faint aura emanated from her body, offering some protection against the cold. According to the system's prompts, there might be a large amount of supplies buried under ice and snow in an abandoned city dozens of kilometers away from the safe house.
Su Yao trudged through the vast icy plains, the howling wind whipping up snow that stung her face, almost blinding her. She checked the system map every now and then to make sure she hadn't strayed off course. As she passed a frozen lake, she heard eerie sounds emanating from beneath the ice, as if some enormous creature were moving about.
Suddenly, the ice began to tremble violently, and cracks rapidly spread. Su Yao hurriedly used her spatial ability to teleport to the shore. Just as she left, a gigantic ice shark burst forth from the ice. It was enormous, its body covered in hard ice armor, and its gaping maw was full of sharp teeth. The ice shark struggled on the ice for a few moments before fixing its gaze on Su Yao.
Su Yao dared not be careless. She took out a crossbow bolt enhanced with ice attributes from her spatial storage, nocked a specially made ice arrow, and shot it at the ice shark. The ice arrow struck the ice shark's ice armor, but only left a shallow white mark. Enraged, the ice shark charged at Su Yao with such speed that Su Yao had no time to fire again.
She swiftly unleashed her wind-based abilities, creating a powerful current around herself in an attempt to disrupt the ice shark's movements. Simultaneously, she used teleportation to constantly change positions, dodging the ice shark's attacks. During her evasion, Su Yao noticed a lighter-colored area on the ice shark's abdomen, where its ice armor appeared relatively weak.
Seizing the opportunity, Su Yao imbued her fire power into the crossbow bolt as the ice shark charged again, and fired it with all her might towards the ice shark's abdomen. The bolt, wreathed in flames, pierced the ice shark's belly, and the ice shark let out a painful roar as blood gushed from the wound, staining the surrounding ice and snow red.
The wounded ice shark became even more ferocious, wildly lashing its tail and shattering the surrounding ice. Su Yao dodged while continuing to attack the ice shark's wounds, trying to exhaust its strength. After a fierce battle, the ice shark finally collapsed due to excessive blood loss, its massive body crashing onto the ice with a loud thud.
Su Yao breathed a sigh of relief and continued towards the abandoned city. When she reached the edge of the city, she found it covered in thick snow and ice, the skyscrapers resembling ice sculptures. Following the system's guidance, Su Yao headed towards a large supermarket in the city, where a large amount of supplies had once been stored.
Upon entering the supermarket, Su Yao encountered a horde of zombies mutated by extreme cold. While these zombies moved somewhat slowly, their bodies had become incredibly hard, making them difficult to harm with ordinary attacks. Wielding an ice-blade sword, Su Yao charged into the zombie horde, using her agility to evade their attacks while searching for their weaknesses.
Su Yao discovered that while the zombies' heads were hard, their eyes were their weak point. She used her supernatural ability to imbue her ice blade with flames and then thrust it towards the zombies' eyes. Each attack accurately struck the zombies' vital points, and one by one, they fell to her attacks.
Upon entering the supermarket, Su Yao began searching for useful supplies. She used her supernatural abilities to melt the ice and snow on the shelves, discovering some frozen food and daily necessities. She stored these supplies in her spatial storage while continuing to search every corner of the supermarket. In the supermarket's warehouse, she found some heating equipment and medical supplies that were not completely damaged; these supplies were extremely valuable to the safe house.
Just as Su Yao was about to leave the supermarket, the system suddenly issued an alarm, alerting her to abnormal energy fluctuations in the supermarket's basement. Su Yao hesitated for a moment, then decided to go down to the basement to investigate. The entrance to the basement was blocked by ice, snow, and debris. Su Yao used her supernatural abilities to clear a path and carefully descended.
A mysterious aura permeated the basement. In the center stood a crystal ball radiating a blue light. The energy fluctuations around the crystal ball were extremely intense. Su Yao approached the crystal ball, and the system began frantically scanning and analyzing. Suddenly, the crystal ball emitted a bright light, enveloping Su Yao. She felt as if her consciousness had been pulled into a mysterious space. In this space, she saw some blurry images about the origins of the extreme cold apocalypse, as if a mysterious force was manipulating everything.
Su Yao tried to gather more information, but the bright light disappeared, and she returned to the basement. She knew this crystal ball was no ordinary object; it might hold the key to unlocking the mysteries of the apocalypse. Su Yao stored the crystal ball in her spatial storage and quickly left the supermarket. Carrying the supplies she had found, she embarked on her journey back to the safe house, her heart filled with curiosity and apprehension about the truth of the apocalypse.
