Chapter 475 Things Take a Turn

Inside the secluded trading hall of the base, some people whispered in the corners, while others openly discussed the matter.

They were talking about the latest news: Lin Ruo helped Jiang Yue awaken his superpowers, and Lin Ruo has the ability to help others awaken their superpowers.

But these people were afraid of Lin Ruo's strength, and they could only sigh that Jiang Yue was lucky and Lin Ruo was capable. No one dared to say anything more.

They all knew that their base wasn't impenetrable; there might be people from the B City base eavesdropping. They weren't afraid of retaliation from the B City base, but rather of the news getting back to Lin Ruo, in which case they wouldn't even know how they died.

But there are always some self-important stubborn people who think they have discovered the essence of the world and spout nonsense.

"How can Lin Ruo keep such abilities hidden? She should prioritize the greater good and help those who haven't awakened their superpowers. Wouldn't it be better if humanity became stronger then? She's just too selfish."

Upon hearing this, those who were still whispering nearby stopped and looked at him with surprise.

His partner was terrified at the sight and tugged at his sleeve, saying, "Stop talking. Sister Ruo is so powerful, we can't force her."

Seeing that he had attracted attention, the man even became smug, saying, "That depends on what the base's higher-ups think. If everyone unites, even if she's powerful, she's helpless. Didn't our ancestors win against the M-country powers back then?"

After he finished speaking, within seconds, the area around him was cleared out, and even his friend who had just been trying to persuade him kept his distance.

Even in the apocalypse, there are still such brainless people. Leaving aside whether these base leaders with their own ulterior motives can unite, what use would it be even if they did? The B City base and the C City base had already announced that they were on Lin Ruo's side long ago.

Now that the B City base and the C City base are built around Lin Ruo, and Lin Ruo helped Jiang Yue obtain the superpower, it is conceivable how strong the cooperation between the three parties is. If someone wants to deal with Lin Ruo, the two major bases will definitely not stand idly by. They cannot afford to offend any of the three parties, let alone the fact that they are all tied together.

Comparing Lin Ruo to the wicked powers of the past? He really dares to do that!

The person who spoke had just left the trading hall when someone stuffed a sack over his head and dragged him into a dark alley. Then, wailing sounds came from the alley.

Many people witnessed this scene. While they were frightened, they were also glad that they hadn't joined in the commotion, otherwise they might have ended up in the same situation.

Such scenes are happening everywhere in various bases. Regardless of whether the news is true or false, who wouldn't want to have a second superpower like Lin Ruo?

The ordinary survivors, because of Jiang Yue's example, have also had their hopes rekindled, and they also want to become superhumans.

But as the news spread and people became unsettled, no one dared to actually go to Lin Ruo. Although they wanted superpowers, they hadn't lived long enough and there was no need to rush to their deaths.

However, many people have already contacted the base in City B and are trying to find out about Jiang Yue's awakening of his superpowers.

Normally, Jiang Yue is in charge of all the work of contacting various bases. He is very busy every day. Since he awakened his copying ability, he has been working hard to upgrade his ability as soon as possible. He spends more and more time on ability training every day. In addition, he also has to deal with the affairs of the legion. He simply doesn't have time to be polite and friendly with these people.

So when he received these calls, he gave the same reply: "I did awaken a superpower, but that was because I was on the verge of awakening and it happened by chance. Sister Ruo just reminded me. Also, the laboratory at the B City base has already done research and found that the probability of a human awakening a second superpower is close to zero, so you don't need to worry about it. If you have any unwarranted fantasies, think about the armed forces at the B City base and then consider your own strength."

These words were extremely blunt, and the base's high-ranking officials dared not speak out against them. Jiang Yue used to control the entire legion at the B City base. Because of the various new weapons at the B City base, the legion's combat power was no less than that of the superpowered team. Now that Jiang Yue has awakened his superpowers, no one wants to provoke him.

Hearing him say that, they tacitly agreed to stop, and no one actually made a fuss.

Jiang Yue knew the dark thoughts in these people's hearts. Even if what he said was basically the truth, these people would not believe him at all. The fact that so many bases came to ask already spoke volumes.

After much deliberation, he decided to tell Lin Ruo about it, since it was his fault and it might cause her some trouble.

Recently, some small surprises have indeed appeared on Lin Ruo's mountain peak, but they are not from those superhumans, but from the mutated beasts around the mountain. These mutated beasts have noticed that the mutated beasts on Lin Ruo's mountain peak are of high level and in large numbers, and they often sneak up the mountain in groups. Of course, in the end, they cannot escape the fate of being eaten.

These past few days, Lin Ruo has collected a lot of crystal cores from A Liu. These crystal cores are all of a high level. When Lin Ruo upgraded her superpower last time, she consumed a lot of crystal cores in her space. In addition to the more than 3,000 crystal cores she traded with the C City base, she now only has more than 30,000 crystal cores. This is indeed incomparable to the millions she had at the beginning, but the energy inside is no less than that.

However, as her level increases, the number of crystal cores she needs to restore her powers after overdrawing them during daily training is also gradually increasing. What used to take three or four cores now takes about twenty to restore her powers to their peak. Not to mention other uses for crystal cores, the increased daily consumption has made her feel more urgent to accumulate more crystal cores.

She has even started teaching these mutated plants on the mountain how to hunt.

You should act harmless most of the time and not scare these mutated beasts away. When you encounter mutated beasts, you must wait until you lure them to the inside of the mountain before you make your move.

They also had A-Liu and Lao Bai demonstrate the use of the "fishing" trap to these mutated plants. Every day, there would be some high-level flesh and blood in different places on the mountain. The smell of this flesh and blood was different from that of the low-level ones, and it was particularly attractive to mutated beasts. Every day, many mutated beasts were attracted to it.

When Jiang Yue sent the message to Lin Ruo, Lin Ruo had already finished her morning training and was sitting on the sofa counting the crystal cores that A Liu had given her yesterday. She had harvested 30 crystal cores this morning, which was considered a pretty good day.

The terminal on her wrist beeped, and Lin Ruo turned to look at it.

"Sister Ruo, I'm sorry, the news of my awakening of my superpower has been leaked by someone with ulterior motives. They all know that my awakening of my superpower is related to you, and they think you can help others awaken a second superpower. I'm investigating who it is. I'm afraid someone might harm you, so I'm telling you in advance. Don't worry, I will definitely investigate this matter to the end."
