"Awoo~"

A huge feline lay at Lin Ruo's feet, rubbing its large head against Lin Ruo's shoulder while making low growls, expressing its displeasure.

Lin Ruo pushed the big head away a little, gently stroked its fur, and then turned back to the fortress. The temperature outside had reached over 70 degrees Celsius, exceeding the temperature at noon earlier. Lin Ruo didn't want to stay outside; it was just too hot.

After breakfast, Lin Ruo continued to prepare food in the fortress, filling the entire fortress with the aroma of food. This attracted the attention of the three furry creatures who were already full and kept their eyes on Lin Ruo as she busied herself in the kitchen.

Back at the fortress, Lin Ruo continued her work until one o'clock in the afternoon. She stretched and yawned. All the ingredients she had taken out earlier had been cooked into food. Looking at the stacks of food boxes in the still space, a relaxed smile appeared on her face. This would be enough for her to eat for a long time.

Looking at the time, it was still early before dark. Lin Ruo was also tired after a long day, so she turned around and went to bed to rest.

...

In the dungeon of the B City base, muffled groans and curses echoed continuously. These sounds came from Qi Junwei, who had been captured. Ever since Chen Yu brought him back to the base, he had refused to cooperate. No matter what methods Chen Yu used to deal with him, he refused to say a word and stubbornly refused to let go.

Qi Junwei and Chen Yu are bound by the blood feud of killing their son. Now that their Qi family has been wiped out, how could he possibly reveal the family secrets?

Chen Yu looked at Qi Junwei, who had been knocked unconscious and had once again lowered his head, and gritted his teeth. This was the first person he had ever interrogated who was so difficult to deal with.

Who would have thought that Qi Junwei would be such a tough nut to crack?

Qi Junwei was locked in a solitary dungeon, his body covered in bruises, the blood from the whippings splattered on the surrounding walls, his face was completely unrecognizable, his head was hanging down, his chest was rising and falling very weakly, and he looked like he was about to die. Chen Yu brought in the healing ability user that he had brought back from the Qiyuan base.

"Cure him."

Hearing Chen Yu's voice, Qi Junwei awoke from his unconscious state and weakly opened his eyes to look.

Upon seeing the healing ability user, he suddenly froze, then burst into laughter again, "Yang Songming really couldn't outsmart you guys. You even managed to get your hands on such a precious ability user from his base. You're really something!"

After saying that, he coughed up a mouthful of blood and then slumped down.

The light-elemental ability user didn't show much emotion after hearing this. He was just an ability user who would stay wherever he could survive; he never belonged to any side.

As Chen Yu instructed, he used his supernatural ability on Qi Junwei. Soon, Qi Junwei's riddled body was rapidly healed under the white healing light, and he quickly regained his vitality.

Qi Junwei survived, but he was not happy. He thought he was finally free from the Qi family's secrets, but now he was told that the torment would continue.

He knew about the healer's abilities; they were extremely powerful. As long as the person wasn't on the verge of death, this person could be brought back to life. In other words, he would have to endure these torments indefinitely.

Seeing his dark face, Chen Yu roughly guessed what he was thinking, and the corners of his mouth curled up, "It doesn't matter if Patriarch Qi refuses to say, we have plenty of time to wear him down."

Qi Junwei's face stiffened, and his whole body began to tremble, but he still gritted his teeth and stared at Chen Yu with a vicious look in his eyes, as if he wanted to tear Chen Yu to pieces.

...

"Bang!"

A loud, muffled thud echoed from a special training room at the B City base, after which all the waiting superhumans outside felt a powerful energy emanating from the training room.

Su Buqing, who was guarding outside, immediately frowned. As the energy was absorbed by the people inside again, he quickly straightened up from his leaning position against the wall, and a hint of concern unconsciously showed on his face.

The waiting time felt incredibly long. Half an hour later, the door to the training room slowly opened from the inside, and Zheng Yanfei walked out with a smile on her face.

Sensing the flow of energy within her, Su Buqing's eyes lit up, and he exclaimed with delight, "You really succeeded!"

After enduring a year and a half of unbearable heat, when the highest level of ability users in the B City base was still level 3, Zheng Yanfei, through her own efforts and continuous training, finally surpassed all other ability users and became the first ability user in the B City base to reach level 4.

Zheng Yanfei smiled and nodded at Su Buqing. She clenched her fists, and fiery red energy quickly filled them. The scorching temperature made the air seem to burn. This was level 4 energy.

Not only did her superpowers upgrade, but the temperature of her flames also increased significantly, making her feel unprecedentedly powerful.

A glint flashed in her eyes. Before, she had always followed Su Buqing, her thoughts always revolving around this man, but she never imagined that she could become so strong and no longer rely on anyone.

The image of that figure involuntarily flashed through her mind again. Despite being so thin, she was able to unleash such powerful energy, instantly killing the beast-like ability user in front of her. At that moment, she clearly realized that women could also become so powerful, and that she could definitely do it if she worked hard!

She wants to become like her, to intimidate everyone with her powerful strength, and to live a free and unrestrained life!

Looking at the brilliance in Zheng Yanfei's eyes, Su Buqing found himself unable to look away. He had naturally noticed the changes in Zheng Yanfei during this time. She had been somewhat spoiled before. Before the apocalypse, she was also a young lady who was pampered every day, which inevitably led to her developing such a temperament.

After the apocalypse, she awakened her superpowers, and her temper not only didn't subside, but actually worsened, which annoyed Su Buqing.

But ever since the Qi family attacked the B City base, she has changed. She has become indifferent to everything and no longer pays attention to him, focusing all her attention on cultivating her supernatural abilities.

After several months of hard work, she actually surpassed everyone else and became the first Level 4 ability user in the B City base, which impressed him.

Zheng Yanfei smiled at Su Buqing, and she was very grateful that Su Buqing had put aside all his other commitments to help her guard the gate. "Come on, let's go to the team to register."
