Chapter 171 Departure from City A

Upon arriving at the outskirts of the B City base, she saw many people busy around the city wall. They were covering the already fifty-meter-high wall with a layer of underground mineral shell, and it was almost finished.

Thinking back to the overwhelming horde of mutated sea beasts last time, she could understand the actions of the B City base. The next mutated sea beasts might be even stronger, and they would have to strengthen their defenses to the maximum extent possible to prevent them from entering the city.

However, this problem will be solved soon. In about two months, the crystal energy cannon of the B City base will be successfully developed. At that time, there will be no need to fear the mutated sea monsters. It's just that the Qiyuan base will suffer. It will either have to spend a lot of money to buy these weapons from the B City base, or it will probably be wiped out by these sea monsters.

Since Lin Ruo's truck appeared, many people's eyes have been focused on it. The danger of the mutated sea beast attack on the city was still fresh in their minds. It covered such a large area that there were no blind spots. Everyone was wondering where Lin Ruo lived so that he could be so unharmed.

Lin Ruo ignored what these people thought and went straight to the outskirts of the B City base. She found Zhao Hui and Li Wei, who were setting up a stall. She took out a small bag of crystal cores from her backpack and handed it to Zhao Hui. "I found out the location of the other person in the portrait a week ago. Now I'm going to find him. I've made you busy for a week for nothing. Here are 10 crystal cores as compensation."

Zhao Hui and Li Wei exchanged a glance. Did she mean that the woman they had discovered earlier had already been dealt with?

"Where is that woman from the Xuanfeng Base?" Even though he already had a vague idea in his mind, Zhao Hui still asked. Those people clearly wanted to make a quick buck off Lin Ruo through that woman, so they probably wouldn't release her easily.

"Dead."

Lin Ruo placed the crystal core on their table, saying, "Our cooperation ends here."

Zhao Hui opened his mouth, but ultimately didn't say anything in rebuttal. He just smiled and said, "Okay, if Sister Ruo ever needs to collaborate with anyone again, be sure to remember to contact us."

Lin Ruo didn't nod, but waved her hand and turned to leave.

Li Wei looked at the crystal core on the table, then at the truck that had already started moving in the distance. He didn't think there was anyone in the entire B City who could make Lin Ruo wait a week to come to him for revenge. That could only mean that this person was far away from Lin Ruo, which was why she needed time to prepare. Now that Lin Ruo was leaving, would she come back?

Soon after Lin Ruo left, Jiang Yue ran out, panting, and asked Li Wei, "Where's Lin Ruo?"

Li Wei pointed to the truck shadow that had dwindled to a tiny dot, "It just left."

Jiang Yue looked at the spot where the truck had disappeared in the distance and sighed softly. He had missed it again.

Experts predicted the next rainfall would occur in three months, and also predicted that the size and strength of the next marine mammals to come ashore would double.

Although their crystal energy cannon may have been developed by that time, it was extremely difficult to manufacture. In addition, the base's underground ore was used to reinforce the city walls and underground base, leaving very little ore available, which put a lot of pressure on them to defend the city.

Ye Lin wanted to ask Lin Ruo to help them defend the city, but he missed the opportunity this time, and it seems that he will have to wait another seven days.

"Is she going to come back in seven days? Do you have any way to contact her?"

Zhao Hui shook his head, picked up the bag of crystal cores on the table and waved it in front of Jiang Yue, "The cooperation is over. This is the final payment. She went to find that person and shouldn't be coming back in seven days."

"She found it herself?!" Jiang Yue exclaimed in surprise, a bad feeling creeping into his heart. "Do you have her contact information?"

Li Wei shook his head, "She is very likely to go to another province or city, and nobody knows where she is going."

Jiang Yue frowned more and more. He wasn't worried about whether Lin Ruo would come back, because they still owed Lin Ruo two crystal energy cannons. It was just that it was hard to estimate when she would return. He nodded to Zhao Hui and Li Wei and quickly returned to the base.
