In the inky darkness of the night, snowflakes fell softly from the sky, landing on the water spheres controlled by Lin Ruo and merging with them.

As she watched these people struggle to survive in the water sphere, some even on the verge of fainting from lack of oxygen, the coldness in her eyes grew even more pronounced. Thinking of the information she wanted to know, she raised her hand and swept it in the air. With the controllable movement of her mental energy, the water enveloping these people slowly receded, revealing their heads.

These superhumans felt the long-lost air and gasped for breath. They had all thought they were about to die in this water sphere. The prolonged lack of oxygen had caused a brief buzzing in their brains. They were somewhat numb, instinctively breathing heavily, even though the air was bone-chillingly cold, it was incredibly precious to them.

Their bodies are now several times stronger than before the apocalypse due to their superpowers, but they still need to breathe. The fact that they can still live after holding their breath in the water for so long is because of their improved physical condition.

Ah Fu, Ah Shou, and Ah Lu lay disdainfully at the fortress entrance, their eyes filled with contempt for these people. They were so weak yet they dared to provoke them; they were utterly foolish.

Lin Ruo stood in front of these people, but did not interrupt their frantic breathing as they tried to save themselves. Many of them coughed loudly because of their heavy breathing.

Their faces and hair were already soaked with water, which quickly froze at -20 degrees Celsius. Before they could even catch their breath, their cheeks were already red from the cold, and their bodies were shivering involuntarily.

Looking up at Lin Ruo standing in front of them, a sense of fear welled up inside them. They had only heard of her methods before and hadn't thought much of them. But when these methods were used on them, they realized how terrifying they were.

"Tell me, which base are you from?"

She stared at them and spoke. It wasn't a question, and her tone wasn't overly emotional, but the moment she uttered those words, these superhumans felt a chill run down their spines.

"Sister Ruo, we've only been staying at the foot of the mountain and haven't come up to bother you. Please, give us a way out."

"Yes, Sister Ruo, we were just worried that others would come up the mountain, so we were keeping watch for you at the foot of the mountain. We meant no harm."

Hearing this, Lin Ruo scoffed. It seemed that these people had some understanding of her. She had thought this way before, and it was understandable that she hadn't taken action. But this wasn't a principle; it was just a way for her to restrain herself.

Killing is something that might feel frightening at first, but it can become a pleasure after a lot of killing, especially for powerful people. If there is no way for her to control herself, she will eventually become addicted to killing. So Lin Ruo devised this method for herself.

This method has been working quite well so far, but there are always some people who think they're so clever and want to use it to control her. Today, she doesn't want to restrain herself. She stares at the water spheres and uses her mental energy.

Seeing that Lin Ruo only smiled and did not speak, these people's hearts pounded. They could feel the water pressure around them increasing. Their bodies, immersed in the water sphere, felt as if they were being pressed down by tons of stones, and their bodies were about to burst.

The faces of the people in front of him had turned a deep purplish-red. Lin Ruo's smile grew wider and wider, her tone laced with malice, "Let's guess who will explode first."

She then made a "bang" sound, which startled the already tense superhumans, causing them to shudder violently.

"I'll talk! I can't take it anymore! Sister Ruo, I'll confess everything! I don't ask for anything else, just give me a quick death!" Under constant pressure, a superhuman's psychological defenses were broken, and he was so scared that he wanted to confess his ancestors for eighteen generations.

"We are the superpowered team from the Dragon Power Base. There are 24 superpowered individuals in the team, who are..."

"Damn it! Confess your crime, but don't drag your dad into it!"

"Xiaoyu, don't say it!"

The moment the man opened his mouth, all the other ability users who had been called out were terrified. They all tried to persuade him not to speak, but the next second, their mouths were blocked by the water from the water sphere again, and they could no longer make a sound.

After that person explained everything clearly, Lin Ruo listened slowly, secretly regretting that their terminal did not contain photos of these high-ranking officials.

"Sister Ruo, I've said everything I should and shouldn't have said. Please, just give me a quick death." The superhuman was truly terrified, his eyes filled with hope as he looked at Lin Ruo.

Lin Ruo nodded, and with a thought, the position of the water spheres in the air changed. The water spheres of the highlighted ability users were all moved forward. The ability user who had just been mentioned only stiffened for a moment before the crystal core in his brain was carried by the water flow and flew into her hand.

The superhuman got what he wanted and received a quick and painless death.

Then, countless water lines appeared in the water spheres of the extracted superhumans. These water lines seemed to come alive, constantly trying to burrow into the bodies of these superhumans, like writhing iron worms. The pain of burrowing into their bodies was extreme. Lin Ruo covered their mouths, so they couldn't make a sound even if they wanted to scream. They could only shake their heads, their faces and eyes were bloodshot, showing how much pain they were in.

These water lines weaved through their bodies, and blood seeped out continuously, slowly turning the water spheres red. The water lines moved very fast, and within two minutes, their bodies were riddled with holes. If sunlight were to shine through their backs, it might even let light through.

These people's bodies have become like this, yet their lives are still tenacious; none of them have died.

At this moment, Lin Ruo turned to the others, her smile long gone, and asked, "Who's next?"

Seeing the miserable fate of those people, the superhumans turned pale with fright. They understood Lin Ruo's meaning: if someone confessed first, the person who was confessed would be in big trouble.

They didn't know if their teammates would betray them, and naturally, none of them wanted to suffer such inhuman torture. This psychological pressure made them extremely nervous.

"They're all going to die, do you think I'd tell you?! Stop daydreaming."

Lin Ruo's eyes turned cold. Sure enough, the intelligence of these dozens of superhumans varied. Some were smart enough to immediately reveal all the information, just wanting a quick death, while others, knowing their own predicament, still made outrageous remarks to her.
