The three trucks were parked in a triangle, with the two trucks on the front two sides having empty cargo beds.

About twenty people were guarding the truck in the middle of the back. There was a person sitting in the driver's seat of the truck. The truck bed was piled with boxes, and some of the top boxes were open, containing well-packaged instant noodles.

Four people were sitting in one corner of the truck, and several dead mutated animals lay beside the truck.

Below, someone had placed two tables, each with a loudspeaker on it, and two people sitting behind each table.

Although the four men kept talking to the survivors in front of them, they gripped their guns tightly, always on guard against the crowd in front of them suddenly attacking and grabbing supplies.

Lin Ruo sat on A Shou's lap. As they passed by, he glanced at the boxes on the vehicle and quickly scanned them with his mental energy. These boxes, like the ones that had been opened, were all filled with instant noodles. This Qiyuan Base seemed to be quite wealthy and powerful, making such a grand show of recruiting strong individuals.

She continued scanning with her mental energy, and suddenly her eyebrows twitched. She recognized the person sitting in the driver's seat; it was the metal-type ability user from the B City base.

She couldn't believe that such a large base in City B couldn't retain its ability users. Four had just died a few days ago, and now this metal-type ability user had defected to another organization. She touched her chin. Did this mean that the City B base only had one wood-type ability user left?

Qiyuan Base has so blatantly undermined City B Base. Aren't they afraid City B Base will bomb them with missiles?

Lin Ruoan sat comfortably on Ah Shou's back, a slight smile appearing on her lips beneath the mask.

"Each group has four people, and the group winner can join our Qiyuan Base."

"Or we could use this to get into the base."

A staff member behind the table stood up, holding a crystal nucleus the size of a ping-pong ball in his hand. He held the nucleus high and showed it to everyone.

"As long as you confirm that you can join our base, each person will immediately receive five packs of instant noodles and return to the base with us. The base will cover all your food and lodging."

Upon hearing about the benefits, those who had initially hesitated due to the upcoming competition were now filled with fighting spirit, eager to try their luck and dreaming of the wonderful life after joining the Qiyuan Base.

But fantasies are often meant to be shattered.

"Damn it! You attacked me from behind!"

"Why did you resort to such deadly force!"

"You're still using a knife!"

Just then, another mutated animal ran quickly toward them. It was a mutated Samoyed, and it was clear that the mutation was not complete; its body was only two and a half meters long.

Just as it bared its fangs at the survivors in the group, a golden arrow pierced its neck, and the mutated Samoyed instantly collapsed.

The survivors in line glanced in awe at the direction of the driver's cab, knowing that it must have been the superhuman who killed them.

Lin Ruo didn't care. Afu quickened his pace and ran over, then bent down and sniffed the mutated dog. Perhaps because they didn't eat their own kind, they had never hunted mutated dogs since the apocalypse.

At this moment, Afu simply lowered his head to sniff, then strode over and prepared to leave.

Ever since Afu and Ashou's enormous figures appeared, the people at Qiyuan Base noticed them and assumed that they were also coming to join Qiyuan Base, seeing that they were heading this way.

Guan Zhiheng's move to defeat the enemy was intended to demonstrate the strength of the Qiyuan Base, but this guy just rode past on a dog?

A woman behind the table, remembering what she had heard about the ferocity of the two dogs, called out to Lin Ruo, hoping to get a chance.

"Please wait a moment."

Lin Ruo patted Ah Shou's neck, and Ah Shou stopped walking. Ah Fu also stood beside Lin Ruo.

She looked down at the woman below. "Is something the matter?"

The woman was initially tense as she was stared at by the two enormous mutated beasts, but upon hearing Lin Ruo's voice, a slight look of surprise appeared on her face beneath her mask.

So the owner of these two dogs is a woman? How can a woman live so well alone in such an environment?

Seeing that she didn't speak, Lin Ruo lost patience and gently patted A Shou's back. A Shou then lifted her foot to leave.

The woman was startled out of her thoughts and ran over to stand in front of Ah Shou, who grinned slightly at her.

The woman shrank back in fear, but then, thinking of the superhumans in her team, she felt more confident and explained, "Hello, we are survivors from the Qiyuan Base. We are recruiting strong individuals to join the base. The benefits are excellent. Would you like to learn more?"

"Not interested." Lin Ruo patted Ah Shou on the back, and Ah Shou turned around to walk around her.

Unexpectedly, the woman ran a few steps and blocked Ah Shou's way again, forcibly handing the brochure in her hand to Lin Ruo, "Can you take a look first?"

Lin Ruo shifted her body to the side, dodging the flyer the woman shoved at her, her brows furrowed.

Before she could respond, Ah Shou sensed the coldness emanating from Lin Ruo. It first bared its teeth at the woman, then suddenly leaped upwards, directly over her head.

"How could you be like this! So what if you have two dogs! Does that give you the right to bully people like this?!"

Before the woman could react, another woman in her companions pushed aside the crowd in front of her and ran towards her, pulling her behind her and shouting at Lin Ruo, who was sitting on Ah Shou's lap.

"How could a wandering survivor like you know how great our Qiyuan Base is! You should feel honored to join us!"

"Not only are you ungrateful, but you're also incredibly arrogant and rude! You're nothing special, just those two dogs! What makes you so great!"

Lin Ruo narrowed his eyes, quickly drew the gun from his waist, and mercilessly pulled the trigger at the woman in front of him, "Bang!"
