Lin Ruo smiled and lowered his head. He didn't continue talking to the woman. Instead, he raised the gun in his hand and fired two shots at the men next to him. The bullets hit the two men's foreheads, and a small amount of blood flowed out and was instantly frozen. The two men's eyes, which were covered by their masks, were wide open and rolled back. They died with their eyes wide open.

"Afu and Ashou, throw these two bodies down the mountain," Lin Ruo instructed Afu and Ashou beside her.

"Awoo!" "Woof woof!"

Afu and Ashou glanced at the women on the ground before each carrying one person and heading down the mountain.

The woman on the ground was startled by the death of the man beside her. Just a moment ago, he was so alive and well, and now he was dead in front of her. In addition, the two giant beasts bit their heads and dragged them away. She was completely stunned. When she looked at Lin Ruo, her previous righteousness was gone, and she was only afraid.

This person is a devil; she kills without blinking an eye. Why did I ever provoke her?!

Lin Ruo looked down at her, her slender fingers rubbing the gun she held in her hand through her gloves, a faint smile even playing on her lips. "Go on, why did you stop talking?"

The woman shook her head tremblingly, her face red from the cold weather. She thought she could face life and death, but when death was actually in front of her, she found that she could not be carefree.

"Sister Ruo! I was wrong, Sister Ruo! I was bewitched! Please forgive me!" The woman kowtowed fiercely on the ground, and bloodstains quickly appeared on the frozen ground.

The wound was exposed to the extreme cold, and frostbite immediately occurred. Ignoring the icy chill on her face and the piercing pain in her forehead, all she knew was that she didn't want to die.

"Heh..." Lin Ruo's smile widened, becoming extremely wicked. "I thought you could hold out for a long time, but you chickened out like this."

"Sister Ruo, I know a lot about the base. I can tell you everything, please!" The woman crawled a few steps toward Lin Ruo, her tone earnest, but a hint of jealousy flashed in her eyes when she saw the house behind Lin Ruo.

"Oh?" At this point, Lin Ruo became genuinely interested. She also wanted to know what status Li Haoxuan's father held that would allow someone from so far away to cause her trouble. "Tell me about it."

The woman lowered her head and remained silent for a while before slowly saying, "After the rainstorm ended, we all thought the apocalypse was over, but then the extreme cold came, and there were many mutated animals around us. We had no choice but to go to the base with the rescue team. Once we arrived at the base, each of us had a resident points card, which we could use to buy supplies and accept missions in the official hall."

The woman looked up at Lin Ruo again before continuing, "Some of these tasks are about collecting supplies, some are about building a base, some are about recruiting skilled workers, and one of them is about finding you. I hesitated for a long time when I saw this task, but without points in the base, you can only wait to starve to death! As a woman, I have no strength and no skills, so I can only find odd jobs to do. My points are pitifully low. Out of desperation, I found a few people and accepted this task."

The woman looked up excitedly, "I was really forced into it! I couldn't survive in the base anymore, if it weren't for..."

Her words came to an abrupt halt, but Lin Ruo knew what the woman was implying.

The fact that a woman with no physical strength could find companions so quickly in this vast base speaks volumes. What could she possibly do? It's nothing more than an exchange of benefits. And what could she possibly offer in exchange? Nothing more than the information they had gathered and her own body.

She didn't look at the woman's gradually reddening eyes and the growing sense of grievance on her face. "Who issued the task? What are the reward points? How much of my information is in it?"

The woman's lips tightened, a look she had deliberately concealed earlier. "I told you, can you let me go?"

Lin Ruo then looked at the woman, his tone calm and unwavering, his eyes deep and insightful, "Are you negotiating with me?"
