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 ...
Compared to Alu, Afu and Ashou were much less hostile to these humans. They had long since ignored the people around them and excitedly transformed into their true forms. With two "plop" sounds, they jumped into the sea, splashing huge waves on the surface. The two giant dogs had already disappeared.
A few minutes later, Lin Ruo and the others slowly walked to the beach. The two of them just emerged from the seawater and came ashore, which is why they were shaking off their fur earlier, making water everywhere.
When A-Lu saw A-Fu and A-Shou's actions, his eyes were full of disdain. He didn't know why they liked water so much, getting their fur all wet. Did they feel comfortable?
"I'll enclose you all with a water membrane, so you don't have to swim, and it'll be more convenient when you get down there."
Lin Ruo thought that Alu didn't want to touch the water, and since they were all land animals, the water pressure in the deep sea was extremely high, which they might not be able to withstand. So she came up with this solution, which allowed them to play without touching the water.
She jumped off Alu's back, ready to use her superpower, when she heard Afu and Alu whimpering. She looked over in confusion and saw that the two of them were shaking their heads happily. Combined with their wet fur, dogs all like to play in the water.
"You want to swim by yourselves?"
Afu and Ashou's eyes lit up, and they nodded vigorously. They had always known that there were high-level mutated beasts in the water, so even though they loved water after the apocalypse, they had never gone swimming. But today, with their master behind them, they were naturally not afraid.
Considering the purpose of this trip, she decided to prioritize their feelings. If necessary, she could always add more water pressure when they reached the deep sea.
"good."
After saying that, Lin Ruo added a full-body water membrane to A Lu, and then added two water membranes to A Fu and Ashou, only covering their heads so that they could breathe underwater.
Then Lin Ruo took the lead and jumped into the sea. The three mutated beasts did not hesitate at all and followed suit.
Although Aru is a feline and doesn't like water, he can still swim. So when he entered the water and saw so much seawater pressing against the water film around him, he wasn't afraid at all. Instead, he excitedly looked around to see if there was any "food" that interested him.
As soon as they entered the water, the mutated sea beasts around them swarmed over. There were all sorts of them, and Lin Ruo didn't even have to lift a finger. The three of them immediately swam over and started fighting with these mutated sea beasts.
Lin Ruo used his mental power to manipulate the surrounding water flow, entangled the mutated sea beasts that were extremely agile in the water by either their tails or their backs.
These mutated sea creatures were also puzzled; the usually obedient currents were unusually difficult to handle today.
Under Lin Ruo's "behind-the-scenes manipulation," Afu and the others quickly dealt with all the mutated sea beasts. The surrounding water was stained red with blood. Lin Ruo, who was in the water film, could not smell the strong smell of blood, but still frowned in disgust and immediately led Afu and the other two away from this sea area.
Those on the shore only saw the sudden appearance of a patch of red on the sea surface, a large bloodstain spreading out, and this bloodstain was becoming more and more obvious as it spread. They were somewhat astonished, wondering how much blood it would take to create such an effect.
The scattered survivors gathered around again and started discussing amongst themselves, but no one would guess that the bloodstains were Lin Ruo's, because they knew it was simply impossible.
"Was that Lin Ruo just now? Those two big dogs were pretty obvious markers. What were they up to? There's such a large patch of blood on the water all of a sudden." A water-type ability user watched Lin Ruo's disappearing figure with envy and whispered to his companion.
"Who knows? Anyway, it wasn't suicide. The blood down there must be from those mutated sea beasts. She's really powerful; she managed to take three mutated beasts into the sea. No wonder I heard she dared to cross this waterway in just a small wooden boat."
"Is that giant tiger next to her the same cub that wasn't fully grown before? It's grown so big now?"
"Of course! There were rumors before that she adopted a tiger. I didn't expect it to grow so fast. I just sensed it, and it's at least level five or higher."
"These are truly ferocious beasts! Their combat power must be off the charts, but I didn't see the three of them come with Lin Ruo before."
"Who knows? That's a question for the major bases to consider. For small Karami like us, it's more practical to think about where we should settle down in the future."
Lin Ruo took Afu and the other two out on a "trip," leaving only A Liu and Lao Bai at home. A Liu was still feeling regretful, thinking that if it hadn't killed too many mutated beasts last time, its master might have taken it along this time.
Old Bai was comforting A Liu with his branches when suddenly three fighter jets appeared in the distance. They recognized the style of the jets, but their previous good intentions might not be the same now, especially since their master was not around.
Ah Liu was already angry, and the willow branch immediately stretched upwards rapidly. It didn't extend very far, only a few kilometers, but this was already a very serious warning for the fighter jets flying at low altitudes in the sky.
The message was quite clear: they were being told not to come near.
The fighter jet was naturally from the B City base. Su Buqing's superpowered squad was on board. As the captain, Su Buqing sat at the front, constantly monitoring the situation below. Upon seeing the densely packed willow branches stretching upwards, the fighter jet immediately pulled up, skimming the edges of the willow branches as it flew higher into the sky, completely away from Lin Ruo's mountain peak.
"Captain, isn't this Sister Ruo's willow tree? What's it doing here?"
The pilot breathed a sigh of relief. He had been really startled. At their altitude, most mutated plants couldn't reach them at all. They had almost crashed into them. Luckily, he was a skilled pilot.
As expected of a seasoned pilot, his eyes were sharp. He noticed the difference in the willow branch at a glance. While continuing to control the fighter jet, he looked at Su Buqing beside him in surprise, as if to confirm whether he had seen it wrong.
Su Buqing was also looking down at this moment. The willow branches below had not retracted and blocked part of his view, but judging from the aura he had just felt, it was indeed Lin Ruo's willow tree.
His eyes lit up. He had finally found it. It turned out that Sister Ruo had settled down in this place. Their mission this time was to observe the surrounding situation, prepare for finding a suitable location to build the base, and also to look for Lin Ruo's whereabouts.
After all these events, they realized one thing: if it weren't for the fact that the B City base was right next to Lin Ruo, they might have been completely wiped out by now.
Therefore, when they were building their base, they naturally hoped to continue being "neighbors" with Lin Ruo, and they believed that the place she chose would definitely be good.
Of course, this is based on the premise that Lin Ruo does not object to being with them. If Lin Ruo does not allow it, they will not force it, nor do they have the power to force it.
But Lin Ruo acted too quickly before, and the western region is so large that they couldn't find her for a while, but they didn't expect to run into her here.
"Return to base immediately and head straight back to camp!" Su Buqing glanced at the mountains below and ordered the driver beside him.
"yes!"
