Ye Lin nodded, "Yes!"

...

In the boundless bay, three water dragons, each three meters in diameter and over twenty meters long, were arranged in a triangular formation and rushed rapidly toward the fortress, which was already covered with a protective shield made of black jade crystal.

"boom!"

The three water jets crashed heavily against the protective shield, splashing countless water droplets. These droplets did not turn into ice upon landing; instead, they disappeared instantly.

The fact that the protective shield outside the fortress remained completely still despite such a massive impact demonstrates its remarkable sturdiness.

Lin Ruo stood at a distance, nodding in satisfaction. She had controlled the three water dragons earlier to test the fortress's defensive capabilities.

Inside, Afu and Ashou stood within the protective shield, and through the black jade crystal, they could clearly see the three enormous water dragons.

When the water dragon rushed over, they instinctively ran into the fortress to hide. Later, after discovering that the protective shield hadn't even shaken after the loud noise and was completely unharmed, they ran out of the fortress.

Lin Ruo smiled, his eyes blazing with blue light. In the blink of an eye, five even larger water dragons rushed toward the fortress. This time, Afu and Ashou did not dodge. They just watched as the water dragons charged toward them. Seeing that the ferocious water dragons were all blocked outside the protective shield, and that the shield remained sturdy even though the waves were smashed to pieces, they were immediately overjoyed.

Running and jumping inside the protective shield, looking at Lin Ruo outside, her big tail was practically shaking like a propeller.

Ah Liu's willow branches explored the edge of the protective shield and found that despite the large flow of water, the fortress had not been flooded. She happily swayed left and right.

Lin Ruo put away the protective shield, and Afu and Ashou immediately ran to her and kept rubbing their big noses against her face, as if that was how they could express their happiness.

"Do you believe me now?" Lin Ruo patted their big heads. "Our home has been renovated and is very sturdy. Even if the fortress can't hold it back during an earthquake or tsunami, I'll still be there. I'll put you into my space, don't worry."

From that moment on, the three of them returned to normal and stopped worrying excessively about the distant earthquake and tsunami.

Even so, Afu and Ashou dared not go to the seemingly calm ice surface when they went hunting, and only dared to go to the northern suburbs to hunt.

Lin Ruo was finally able to focus on her cultivation. Since her superpower was upgraded, she had been spending every day in the training room. In addition to basic physical training and superpower training, she spent all her time practicing how to control spatial energy.

The effect was also very remarkable. She gradually grasped the essentials and became more and more adept at manipulating spatial energy.

Time passed slowly, and it was almost noon. While Lin Ruo was cultivating, she suddenly heard A Liu knocking on her window outside. Lin Ruo withdrew her mental power that was controlling the spatial energy, wiped the sweat from her forehead, and walked out of the fortress.

Then she heard the roar of a plane flying low in the distance. Lin Ruo raised her eyebrows slightly. Was that a transport plane from the B City base? She hid under the willow branch of Ah Liu and looked up.

Through Ah Liu's slender willow branches, she took out her binoculars and clearly saw the B City base logo clearly written on the transport plane. The fuselage was covered with underground ore, and two huge water tanks were hanging below, with water constantly dripping from them. There were also a few mutated birds in the air constantly harassing the transport plane.

A fireball or a metal arrow would occasionally appear on the transport plane, taking the lives of the mutated birds in the vicinity.

The transport plane flew rapidly towards the base in City B; it seemed to be there to deliver water.

Lin Ruo looked closely at the transport plane through the binoculars. Not only was water dripping from the tanks, but some water was also dripping from the fuselage, indicating that the cabin was also carrying seawater. In addition, the water tanks each carried an estimated ten tons of water, so they estimated that they could transport nearly a hundred tons of seawater on this trip.

She lowered her head, her eyes darting around, and immediately understood.

With the current technological capabilities of the B City base, it shouldn't be difficult for them to detect the natural disasters that will occur in the future. The fact that they are storing large amounts of water resources now means that they already know the weather is about to get hot.

But how much of the water they stored will be left after the earthquake and tsunami?

Lin Ruo put the telescope in her hand into her spatial storage and turned back to the fortress. How they dealt with the earthquake and tsunami was irrelevant to her; she was more concerned about how much spatial energy she could currently control.

Before she went in, she gently patted the trunk of the tree, saying, "They might come again. Ah Liu, you must make sure our fortress is well covered up so they can't find it."

By the time it takes for the transport plane to load and unload seawater, Afu and Ashou should have returned long ago, so there's no need to worry about them being discovered by the transport plane.

A-Liu gently tapped Lin Ruo's willow branch before she turned back to the fortress. She originally wanted to return to the training room to continue cultivating her supernatural abilities, but then she suddenly realized that another day had passed and the time for the earthquake to erupt was very close.

She turned to look at the electronic calendar on the table, which clearly showed December 18, 2208.

The earthquake struck in the early hours of the 19th, less than 13 hours ago.

Just then, she heard Afu and Ashou's voices outside; they had returned.
