Rainstorms, extreme cold, earthquakes, mutated plants and animals, extreme heat, acid rain, blizzards… various natural disasters come one after another, the established order collapses, survival ...
"I don't like nonsense."
Although the voice was soft, it clearly reached everyone's ears, like death whispering in their ear.
The sight of Lin Ruo and the two towering, mutated trees beside her was so intimidating that they felt a bone-chilling cold that seeped into their hearts from their feet.
For a moment, all that could be heard nearby was the soft rustling of snowflakes falling to the ground.
A thin stream of water appeared at Lin Ruo's fingertips, washing the crystal core in her hand clean. Then she turned to look at the ability users, raising an eyebrow slightly, "Still won't tell?"
"I'll talk! I'll talk!" A male superhuman almost wet his pants after being glanced at by Lin Ruo. "Sister Ruo, I really know I was wrong, please forgive me."
"Speak." Lin Ruo held the crystal core in her palm, her eyes fixed on the superhuman.
"We are ability users from Baiyu Base. We came here just to see if there are any mutated fruits like those from the B City Base on this mountain. We really didn't intend to do anything, we just wanted to pick a fruit."
Lin Ruo scratched his forehead, realizing that he really had come for that mutated fruit.
"Who sent you? Your base commander?"
The male superhuman turned to look at the female superhuman next to him. The female superhuman's face was even paler, but she remained relatively calm. However, her voice trembled slightly as she spoke, "It wasn't me."
Lin Ruo raised an eyebrow, "Are you the base commander?"
At this moment, the other superhumans nearby, hoping to get Lin Ruo a lighter sentence, also started to chime in, "Our team only has one terminal, which is in her hands. We all follow her orders."
"Sister Ruo, we don't know anything. We're just out on a mission. She's the mastermind behind this. Please let us go."
"Sister Ruo, I have children to raise at home, please, Sister Ruo, have mercy on me."
"I'm willing to be Sister Ruo's slave, as long as you don't kill me, I'll do anything, just don't kill me..."
...
A dozen or so people were talking together, but the female superhuman remained silent, her face deathly pale. She knew that none of them would survive today, and begging for mercy would be useless. All she wanted now was to get off as soon as possible and be done with it.
Lin Ruo frowned. It was so noisy.
With a thought, she made these people realize that their mouths were being suppressed by spatial energy, and they could no longer open them. Their throats were also being forcibly constricted by spatial energy, and they could not make a sound.
Finally, it quieted down. Lin Ruo's tightly furrowed brows relaxed slightly. Many branches stretched out from the mutated forest beside her, slowly crawling towards her, all wanting to grab the flesh and blood the moment Lin Ruo spoke.
Lin Ruo saw it but did not stop it. However, A Liu's willow branches suddenly grew rapidly, and the branches of those mutated plants stiffened and lay motionless on the ground.
Since A-Liu and Lao Bai upgraded, their pressure has become even stronger. These mutated plants, which are only at level four, can't withstand it and can only obediently follow orders.
Only then did Lin Ruo look at the female superhuman, "Are you the captain? Who sent you?"
The female superhuman pursed her lips, her gaze towards Lin Ruo filled with a complex mix of emotions.
She had actually admired Lin Ruo before, because what female superhumans wouldn't want to be like Lin Ruo?
She easily won their favor, and they all regarded her as a role model, hoping to become like her one day.
But ever since she received this mission, she already knew that she was not qualified. She couldn't be as carefree as Lin Ruo. She had too many ties and had to listen to the manipulators above her.
Her family members, her parents, children and husband are still at the base. She has no choice but to carry out the mission.
Even if she's arrested now, she can't reveal who's behind her, so that she can still buy her family back at the base a chance to survive.
Seemingly sensing her thoughts, Lin Ruo raised an eyebrow, "Aren't you going to tell me?"
"I'm sorry," the female captain raised her eyes, looked directly into Lin Ruo's eyes, her gaze firm and her eyes shining.
For a fleeting moment, Lin Ruo seemed to see her own eyes from her past life. Her gaze deepened, and she subconsciously pressed the tip of her tongue against her back teeth.
That look in their eyes, so fiercely protective, is truly irritating.
She took a deep breath and gently rubbed her fingers together at her sides. She was just like that person in her past life, so she naturally knew that torture was useless against such a person.
“It’s okay if you don’t want to say,” Lin Ruo said with a serious smile. “You should know that I have the ability to wipe out the entire base. For me, killing everyone in a base is actually much easier than picking people to kill in the base.”
The female superhuman paused, then looked up. "You wouldn't, you never kill innocent people indiscriminately."
Lin Ruo scoffed, "That's based on the premise that these people have no conflict of interest with me. I'm just lazy."
"It's not worth wasting your superpowers and energy on irrelevant people."
"You know, there are a lot of people coming to my mountain this time, not just your base. I want to make an example of someone, so the worse this 'chicken' is, the better. That way, others will remember me and not mess with me."
The other superhumans nearby stared wide-eyed at Lin Ruo's words. They were shocked that Lin Ruo would say such things to them. Thinking back on their previous actions, they felt as if they were dancing in front of the King of Hell. A chill ran down their spines. They wanted to beg for mercy, but no sound came out.
The female superhuman's pupils contracted. She naturally knew that many superhuman teams had been to this mountain. Superhumans came and went from the reception area of the B City base every day, which inevitably allowed them to hear some rumors. Lin Ruo's words were highly credible.
She genuinely wanted to make an example of them, and their base was the "chicken" chosen.
