The four superhumans began trembling uncontrollably as the spikes pierced their bodies, cold sweat dripping down their faces. They gritted their teeth to keep from crying out, while fiercely threatening Lin Ruo.

Seeing the behavior of these four people, Lin Ruo raised his hand and scratched his brow slightly. He couldn't tell whether these people were trying to frame the Pharmaceutical Research Association or were just incredibly stupid.

If the pharmaceutical research association really wanted to break ties with her, they wouldn't have sent only a few people to attack her. The bomb they just used was of average power; it couldn't even kill some level 3 ability users, so it was practically useless to her.

She recalled the behavior of those people last time, and comparing the two, she raised an eyebrow slightly. It seemed things were getting more and more interesting.

"Why did you attack my fortress?" Because she already had a guess in mind, after asking the question, Lin Ruo didn't pay attention to the people's answers, but instead focused on their expressions and actions.

"Our Pharmaceutical Research Association is searching everywhere for high-level mutated plants. I advise you to send the mutated plants around you to our president, otherwise our Pharmaceutical Research Association will definitely flatten your lousy mountain."

The earth-elemental ability user was grimacing in pain as he yelled at Lin Ruo.

Ah Liu and Lao Bai, who were standing nearby, were about to explode. How dare these people speak to their master like that! They deserved to die! Huge branches continued to grow rapidly in the air, just waiting for Lin Ruo to say a word, ready to tear these people to shreds.

Lin Ruo chuckled and clenched his fist in the air. The spikes that had pierced the earth-type ability user's body immediately froze into ice and quickly pierced through his body, turning him into a hedgehog. A huge ice spike even pierced his head and emerged from the top of his head, killing him instantly.

The remaining three people gasped when they saw the man's death; this woman was truly ruthless.

"Please, please let us go. We really are from the Pharmaceutical Research Association. Our association has a partnership with the B City base. Please, have mercy on us. We were just temporarily blinded by greed."

Lin Ruo narrowed her eyes slightly, "Still lying, it seems you won't shed tears until you see the coffin."

She manipulated the water flow to block the mouths and noses of these people, making it impossible for them to breathe. They began to struggle in the net, and the more they struggled, the tighter the net became, as if it were trying to squeeze into their bodies. Moreover, the more they struggled, the more painful it became for the places with spikes stuck in their bodies.

This was a triple torment for them.

Lin Ruo stood in front of them. "I want to hear the truth. Who sent you here?"

These people were not prepared to cooperate at first, but as the air in their lungs became less and less, they couldn't hold on any longer and took a breath in the water. When they came into contact with the outside water, they choked hard and felt even more unable to breathe. Their faces turned bright red.

Just when these superhumans thought they were about to drown, the water that had been covering their mouths and noses suddenly disappeared, and they were finally able to breathe. They coughed violently, as if they were trying to cough up their lungs.

Although they knew they would die, after experiencing the near-death state, they were still filled with fear of that feeling, and they really didn't want to go through it again.

"Are you ready to speak now?" Lin Ruo stood to the side, watching the three of them gasp for air, with occasional violent coughs.

The space-type ability user in the middle was the first to give in. He wasn't an attack-type ability user to begin with, and he didn't usually pay attention to physical training. His physical endurance was also the weakest. After experiencing a life-or-death situation, he realized that nothing was more important than being alive.

Even his family, friends, and everyone else combined cannot outweigh his own life!

He shouted directly at Lin Ruo, "I'll talk, I'll talk!"

"explain."

The wind-type and strength-type ability users next to them were about to speak up to stop them when the water covered their mouths and noses again, and they began to struggle again.

Upon seeing the state of the two people, the space-type ability user was immediately frightened and quickly revealed the truth, "We are actually ability users from the Qinglin Base. We came here because we heard about your experiences and know that you like to eliminate enemies completely. That's why we thought of impersonating people from the Medicine Research Association to provoke you, so that you would believe that the Medicine Research Association would definitely cause you trouble, and then we would deal with the Medicine Research Association and kill you with a borrowed knife."

Lin Ruo didn't completely believe it either; perhaps the Pharmaceutical Research Association had framed the Qinglin Base?

How can you prove that what you're saying is true?

The space-age ability user was surprised that Lin Ruo didn't believe him. He anxiously tried to prove himself, "The base leader already subtly made a move last time. We deliberately leaked information to the Pharmaceutical Research Association that there were high-level mutated plants on your mountain. As far as we know, some people did come here, but you didn't cause any trouble for the Pharmaceutical Research Association. The Pharmaceutical Research Association even issued a notice a few days later, forbidding its ability users from coming to City B to search for mutated plants. So we came up with this plan..."

At this moment, Lin Ruo was somewhat convinced, after all, when she went to City C last time, the Pharmaceutical Research Association did not know of her existence.

This is what they said before they even got off the plane. She is indeed powerful. When she heard this, she felt very conflicted. She knew that the mutated plants and animals in her area were of a high level, and she knew that she was very strong, so why would she dare to throw such a low-level bomb at her so blatantly? It just didn't make sense.

After they got off the plane, their constant mention of the pharmaceutical research association and their threatening words made Lin Ruo even more suspicious. Now it all makes sense; it's obvious that the Qinglin Base wanted to use someone else to do their dirty work.

Lin Ruo looked at the space ability user in front of her and asked, "How do you, a level 3 space ability user, know so much about the affairs of your Qinglin Base?"

The space-age ability user froze for a moment, then the ice spikes in his body suddenly swelled up, causing his eyes to bulge out of their sockets in pain. He dared not hide anything any longer, "Because I was our gang leader's confidant before the apocalypse, and I was the one who spread the news before."

Lin Ruo nodded, "I see."

These people had no intention of going back after they arrived. They were all people whose weaknesses had been exploited by the Qinglin Base Commander. However, they did not expect that this woman was not only powerful but also so good at torturing people. Moreover, she immediately noticed that something was wrong with them and did not believe what they said at all.

Lin Ruo nodded, and a faint white light flashed in his palm. The crystal cores of the three superhumans immediately burst forth from their bodies and flew to Lin Ruo's front. The heads of the three superhumans drooped, and they died instantly.

As Lin Ruogang used her water-based powers to throw the four corpses into the mutated forest outside, the terminal on her wrist beeped.

She looked down and saw it was Jiang Yue. She frowned slightly. Why was he calling at this hour?
