After leaving the space, A-Liu immediately covered the fortress with its branches. The remaining branches stretched out to explore the surroundings. It sensed the presence of mutated plants in the vicinity, and its branches could now extend to a distance of several hundred meters.
Lin Ruo placed the essence she had just extracted into a basin and put it under the roots of the willow tree. The willow branches quickly burrowed into the basin and began to absorb it.
Meanwhile, the slender willow branch groped around outside the firebreak and quickly found a mutated tree that had not yet fully mutated. The willow branch quickly burrowed into the roots of the mutated tree and began to absorb its essence.
Lin Ruo raised an eyebrow. So A Liu could absorb so much essence at the same time. She turned her head to look at the vast forest below. There were many mutated plants in there. She would collect more for it after the extreme heat arrived.
She glanced at it only once before turning her attention away from Ah Liu. The fortress was built into the foundation, and because of the I-beams, there was a huge gap between it and the foundation.
A flash of white light appeared in Lin Ruo's eyes, and his spatial domain expanded once more. He used his mental power to manipulate the spatial energy and fill in the huge cracks.
After confirming that there were no problems, Lin Ruo released Afu and Ashou. As soon as they came out, they sniffed around outside the fortress, and then they darted out to patrol the surroundings to see if there was any danger.
It was already getting dark, and there were still only 5-6 hours until the extreme heat.
Lin Ruo returned to the fortress, first turning on the lights, then preparing dinner for Afu and the others. There weren't many Level 2 mutated beasts left in the space, only an immature mutated elephant and a mutated hippopotamus.
Fortunately, these two were quite large and could last for two more days. The other two were left behind mainly because elephant and hippo meat is coarse and not tasty.
She skinned the mutated hippos in the space, removed their internal organs, put them in a basin, and cut up some mutated beast meat for them, along with plenty of fruit and raw eggs to accompany them. Only then did she step out of the fortress and call out, "Time to eat."
A-Liu immediately dragged her large steel basin outside, and A-Fu and A-Shou, hearing Lin Ruo's shout, also quickly ran home.
Lin Ruo first used her water-based powers to give them a bath before letting them eat.
She turned around and started preparing hot pot for herself. After finishing this meal, she probably wouldn't be able to eat hot pot again until the blizzard season.
During the hottest period of the year, the weather is so hot that all I want to eat is something cold. I probably won't want to eat hot pot anymore, which is a warm and sweaty meal.
The fortress gate was still open, and outside the gate was A-Liu's huge body, which covered the entire fortress. The fortress was brightly lit, and the electric hot pot was bubbling. Lin Ruo picked up piece after piece of meat from it and put it into her bowl. There was also a tablet on the table, which was playing a dating variety show.
This show seems to be trying to teach everyone a lesson through negative examples, so everyone will be single. There are so many weirdos on it that Lin Ruo was amazed. With a brain like that, why bother finding a partner? They might as well just go and rule the world.
In the living room, A-Liu, A-Fu, and A-Shou were watching TV. They had already finished watching the last episode of Piggy Hero, and this time they switched to Mecha Warriors.
They were so engrossed in watching that Ah Liu stretched out several more willow branches this time, just to mimic the transformation of the mecha warrior's weapon on TV. Ah Shou excitedly ran after Ah Liu's branches, while Ah Fu watched them with a helpless expression, which made Lin Ruo, who was eating, chuckle.
It took more than an hour to finish the meal, and there are less than four hours left until the extreme heat.
After the meal, Lin Ruo went to the training room to recover her powers. She had used up too much power when she used spatial control today and needed to replenish it quickly.
Time passed slowly, and the clock hand quickly passed 11. Just as it was about to point to 12, Lin Ruo walked out of the training room.
The TV in the living room was still on. Afu and Ashou, who were originally in the living room, had run outside and were sitting on the platform looking into the dark distance, as if they also sensed that the weather outside was about to change.
Knowing they were outside the door, Lin Ruo began to do her own thing.
She first took out standing air conditioners from the still space and placed them in various rooms of the fortress. The outdoor units, connected to pipes, were placed in brackets on the outer wall of the fortress.
Then Lin Ruo took out a series of air conditioner fans from her space. She and A Liu were not afraid of the heat, but it was mainly A Fu and A Shou who were not.
Dogs primarily dissipate heat through their tongues, breathing, and paws. Even with their long fur shaved, it's still very difficult for them to cool down, so she tries to keep the house as cool as possible to make them more comfortable.
Then she took out four large basins, each two meters in diameter, and placed them in the four corners of the fortress. These were to hold the ice, and when air conditioners were used to blow it on them, the temperature inside the fortress should be even lower.
Having done all that, Lin Ruo looked around the entire fortress. Apart from the flames in the fireplace, everything else was ready.
She returned to her room and changed all the clothes in her closet: long-sleeved shirts and pants, sun-protective shirts and pants, short-sleeved shirts and shorts, vests, hats, and several heat-insulating garments. Then she took out sunscreen from her storage space and placed it on her dressing table.
She changed all the bedding on her own bed to ice silk and laid a bamboo mat on top. She also put all the down comforters and cotton quilts in Afu and Ashou's nest into her space and stored them separately in the static space to wait for washing. She only laid a bamboo mat on the floor of their bedroom.
After preparing all these things, it was almost 12 o'clock.
Lin Ruo took out a special thermometer, hung it in the bedroom, and then walked out of the room, calling out to Afu and Ashou outside, "Afu and Ashou, come here quickly, the weather is getting hot, I'll put you into my space first."
