Chapter 437 Not Killing the Innocent

The dim streetlights cast a hazy veil over the streets of the entire Fog Shadow Base, illuminating people's vision and everything on the street.

The once neat and clean streets were now a mess, with piles of corpses lying haphazardly. Among these corpses, every now and then a few superhumans in combat uniforms would squat down, their gloved hands turning over the bodies on the ground, seemingly checking the cause of their deaths.

A few minutes later, the scattered superhumans returned to Jiang Chao's location, but their complexions were not good, and some of them were even a little pale.

Jiang Chao didn't understand why, but soon he saw the pictures these people had taken. Seeing those gruesome corpses, his hair stood on end.

"Captain, we didn't find a single living person in the area we went to. They were all dead."

“We also detected that strange toxin on these corpses, which means that when Sister Ruo killed them, they were already under the control of the toxin.”

"We also discovered an underwater base within this base, and we went to check it out. Everyone in that base was dead, but there were living people in the underwater base—the superhumans used for experiments by those who were imprisoned. After seeing what's below, all I can say is that Sister Ruo did a good job killing them! These people all deserved to die!"

Upon hearing these reports and seeing the photos that had been taken, Jiang Chao pursed his lips slightly. As expected, Lin Ruo wouldn't kill so many people so easily; she must have had a reason for doing so.

After rehearsing his words in his mind, he took a deep breath, turned around, and began to make a voice call to Ye Lin to report on the progress of the mission.

When Ye Lin heard that Lin Ruo had killed everyone in the entire base, his brows furrowed deeply. Although these people were part of this organization, they didn't all deserve to die, did they? Why were they all killed at once? Did Lin Ruo discover what these people had done?

With some suspicion in his mind, Ye Lin didn't ask aloud. Instead, he said to Jiang Chao in a deep voice, "Take your men and search the base thoroughly. Bring back everything that should be brought back. As for taking over the base, I'll send some more people to negotiate with the other two bases in Y City."

Y City is so far from their B City, and there are two other bases nearby that are eyeing them covetously. Their strength should not be underestimated, and if things go wrong, they could turn around and bite back.

Even if the B City base wanted to, it wouldn't be able to. After dealing with the Fog Shadow Base, the best solution would be for the three bases to sit down and negotiate, each striving for the greatest possible benefit for themselves.

Ye Lin quickly analyzed the situation in his mind, and then issued several other tasks to Jiang Chao in the terminal. Finally, he said, "It would be best to try to persuade Lin Ruo to hand over the base chief of the Fog Shadow Base to us for interrogation."

Jiang Chao, standing opposite him, was still surrounded by piles of corpses. Hearing Ye Lin's orders from the terminal, he felt a pang of panic and a bitter smile appeared on his lips. He dared not say these things to Lin Ruo now; if he angered her, he wouldn't even know how he died.

“Base Commander, I’m not familiar with Sister Ruo. Why don’t you ask Brother Yue to give her a voice call? Isn’t Brother Yue familiar with Sister Ruo…”

Jiang Chao still wanted to make one last effort, so he pulled Jiang Yue out. As everyone knows, Lin Ruo was relatively good to Jiang Yue, at least she wouldn't just kill him.

"Jiang Yue has other things to do, so I'll leave this task to you."

Ye Lin didn't give Jiang Chao a chance to refute and hung up the call immediately. At this time, Jiang Yue and the others had already returned from the previous experimental base.

Just as they were about to knock on the door, they heard Ye Lin mention Jiang Yue's name from outside. Jiang Yue and Chen Yu paused, not knowing why, and then stepped forward to knock on the door properly.

Ye Lin pressed his temples with his hand. He had just heard Jiang Chao say that Lin Ruo had killed so many superhumans. His temples were throbbing with pain. How many crystal cores would it take to cultivate so many superhumans? Each crystal core represented a mutated animal or a mutated plant.

These superhumans could accomplish so much when they united, but Lin Ruo didn't consider that at all. In her mind, these people deserved to die.

Hearing the knock, he said wearily, "Come in."

Jiang Yue and Chen Yu walked into the office together and saw Ye Lin's appearance. They couldn't help but frown. What trouble had he encountered?

"What's wrong?" Chen Yu asked as he sat down in the chair opposite Ye Lin's desk with Jiang Yue.

Ye Lin never hid anything from the two of them, and told them everything that Jiang Chao had just reported.

"In just these two missions today, Lin Ruo has killed more than 20,000 superhumans. She killed everyone at the organization's headquarters, leaving only those who were captured and used as test subjects."

After listening attentively, Jiang Yue didn't think much of it. He read all the experimental reports from this experimental base today, and the contents made him furious just by reading the words. These people's mental state had completely deviated from the realm of humanity. They were capable of anything for the sake of experiments. If these people were left alive, there was no guarantee they wouldn't go back to their old ways. Eliminating them completely was the best solution.

Moreover, these people are already under the influence of the toxin. Even if Lin Ruo doesn't kill them, their base can only alleviate the effects of the toxin, not completely cure it.

If there are people manipulating things behind this, they could very well threaten these people and make them do something.

Rather than being passive, it's better to take the initiative and kill directly.

Therefore, Jiang Yue's assessment of this matter can be summed up in one sentence: "If Sister Ruo doesn't kill innocent people."

This time, Chen Yu didn't interrupt. He understood what Ye Lin meant, but he also felt that these people deserved to die. After witnessing such a cruel scene, even he wanted to kill them.

Thinking of the other ability users in the training base, although they were sealed by Lin Ruo's ice, Lin Ruo was only controlling them. After the ice receded, those people were even unharmed, which surprised them for quite a while.

It is clear that Lin Ruo never kills those who don't deserve to die. In the experimental base, she only killed the experimental personnel and the hunting team.

The fact that this base has been completely wiped out means that, in her mind, everyone in this base deserved to die.

Thinking of this, he unusually spoke a fair word: "Since she chose to kill them all, it means that everyone in the entire base deserves to die."
