Jiang Yue turned to Chen Yu beside him and shared, "We were right after all. Sister Ruo really does live in this mutated forest. No wonder the mutated plants around here are so powerful."

After he finished speaking, he continued to look down through the binoculars, but unfortunately the transport plane had already moved far away from Lin Ruo's mutated forest, so he put down the binoculars with some regret.

"Sister Ruo's strength is truly formidable. These mutated trees around her are so powerful, yet they not only didn't attack her, but judging from their posture just now, they even seemed to be protecting her. Anyone who didn't know better would think Sister Ruo was a wood-type ability user."

Since hearing Jiang Yue mention Lin Ruo, Chen Yu picked up his binoculars and looked down, but unfortunately the plane was too fast and he could only see a corner of the mutated forest.

Previously, several ability users from the B City base had explored this mountain. Although they all returned alive, they only explored a small part of it and did not reach the core of the mountain.

However, they also discovered that they had seen Afu and Ashou in this mountain forest, which meant that Lin Ruo must live here. They did not expect that those high-level superpowered individuals and Lin Ruo would choose the same mountain peak at the same time.

"Have you found any trace of other advanced superhumans?" Chen Yu looked down through his binoculars, but all he could see below were mutated plants and animals. This mountain had become a no-man's land. Almost everyone who had been there had become food for these mutated creatures. Only a few people had managed to escape the clutches of these mutated plants and animals and return to the main peak.

This may be why these advanced superpowered individuals and Lin Ruo chose this place.

The transport plane had already circled the mountain peak once, but they still hadn't found anything. Jiang Yue put down his binoculars and leaned back in his chair with some disappointment. "Maybe some of those people are like those superhumans from last time, skilled at building underground fortresses. Our aerial reconnaissance is not only very risky, but we also can't find any traces underground."

Chen Yu sighed, "Let's turn back. At least these people live on this mountain and don't seem to have any intention of causing any conflict with us for the time being. If we make any big moves, it might provoke their resentment."

Upon hearing Chen Yu's words, the pilot immediately maneuvered the plane to change direction. The mutated plants below were all eyeing them menacingly, and many mutated birds were flying past their plane in the sky. The threat was too obvious, yet they did not attack them, which was very strange.

"The mutated plants and animals on this mountain actually know how to unite against external enemies; they band together whenever there is an invasion."

Lin Ruo returned to the laboratory in the fortress, opened her spatial domain to tidy up the messed-up herbs, and put them into her space. Only then did she sit on the sofa next to her, take out the wooden plaques from her space, and place them on the table.

She looked at the seven wooden plaques on the table, stroked her chin and pondered. Six of them were actually level 3 ability users. The Qi family really had a lot of money.

The idea that had been surfacing in her mind earlier became clearer and clearer: such a high-quality mobile crystal core library was rare, and she should act quickly to avoid being beaten to it by others.

Today, Jiang Yue and his group discovered her fortress. Soon, everyone around will know that she lives on this mountain. At that time, even more people will probably come to her mountain. She is actually looking forward to the opportunity to collect a lot of supernatural power cores.

On a huge cargo ship, there were busy people. If there were any people with superpowers, they would find that these people all had superpower fluctuations. They were all people with superpowers.

A middle-aged man and a young man were standing on the bow of the cargo ship.

This is the Qi family's ship. Standing at the bow are Qi Junwei, the current head of the Qi family, and Qi Chengkai, the most powerful among the younger generation.

Looking at the seawater being pushed aside by the ship, Qi Chengkai couldn't help but say, "Second Uncle, we're about to reach City B. I sent Qi Hong and the others to scout ahead, but they haven't returned yet. I wonder if they're in any danger."

Upon hearing this, Qi Junwei's face darkened. Qi Chengkai immediately knew what he was thinking and sighed softly, "That Xiaotian, he hasn't contacted the family for so long. I wonder how his abilities are developing. Maybe he's already reached level 4..."

But Qi Junwei, standing beside him, showed no improvement in expression upon hearing his words. Several months had passed since Xiao Tian came to City B, during which time Xiao Tian had only contacted them once, and recently there had been no news at all. He didn't want to think too much about it, but in this kind of world, death was not a rare thing.

When Qi Chengkai saw Qi Junwei's bad expression, a glint flashed in his eyes. Deep down, he hoped that Qi Chengtian would die soon. He was said to be the third-generation direct descendant, but wasn't he?

Before the apocalypse, who in the family knew who Qi Chengtian was? This man was neither good at literature nor martial arts; he was just a spendthrift who only knew how to eat, drink, and have fun. He practiced the family's martial arts in a mess. Every time there was a martial arts competition among the aristocratic families, he would bring glory to the family himself. Back then, who knew that there was a Qi family member named Qi Chengtian?

After the apocalypse, the old man in the family said that they should make an identity card for everyone in the family, starting with himself and going down the list, because the golden age of the Qi family was about to begin.

Qi Chengtian was able to obtain the wooden plaque inscribed with "Third Generation of Direct Descendants" after the apocalypse only because of his strange superpower. Because this superpower had great potential for development, it gained the recognition of others.

He concealed the glint in his eyes and then respectfully said, "Second Uncle, we received news that the Wang family of H City has also sent people to B City, seemingly to make a deal with the B City base. What should we do next?"

Qi Junwei's gaze deepened. The Wang family had also arrived. One Chen family wasn't enough; the Wang family actually wanted to get involved as well.

The Chen family arrived in City B several months ago. It is said that City B had previously developed a machine that could activate people's superpowers. After these months of development, what stage has the Chen family reached?

Their roots in City B are deeper than those of the Qi family. Coupled with Chen Yu's status at the City B base, the entire Chen family will stand behind the City B base. It seems that their goals need to be put on hold for now.

Thinking of this, Qi Junwei sneered, "That old bastard Chen Xuyuan thinks he can suppress our Qi family just because he has the B City base behind him? Before the apocalypse, his Chen family might have been able to stand on equal footing with our Qi family, but now, what does his Chen family have to compare with our Qi family?"

"Let's put our previous plans aside for now. Our top priority is to find Xiaotian, alive or dead!"
