The night was shrouded in mist, and the cold wind cut through the air like a knife, as if lamenting and weeping, playing a mournful melody.
Snowflakes fell softly in the cold wind, turning the ground into a silvery white expanse.
A full moon hung in the night sky, casting long, thin shadows on the snow.
On the quiet streets of the base, more than twenty superhumans were surrounding a woman who had fallen to the ground in layers.
Lin Ruo lay prone in the thick snow, her clothes soaked through, her strength gradually dissipating.
She was filled with grief; she had been poisoned by a new superpower drug developed by the research institute in City A.
This medicine is specifically designed to deal with people with superpowers. Once a person with superpowers takes the medicine, they will become weak all over and unable to use their superpowers for a short period of time, leaving them completely defenseless.
She never imagined that one day she would be controlled by this drug. Even though she was extremely careful about what she put in her mouth, she never expected that the person who drugged her would be the person she trusted most.
Her gaze pierced through the vast expanse of white snow to the three people standing at the forefront. These three were her teammates, and together they had faced countless life-or-death situations.
She thought they were people she could entrust her life to, but reality slapped her hard in the face.
"Captain, stop struggling. The base won't do anything to you. They just want your blood." The only girl among the three stepped forward and said urgently.
She herself didn't believe these words, but she still tried to persuade Lin Ruo with them, as if this would bring her some peace of mind.
This is Fang Ling. Back then, Lin Ruo rescued her from several men when she was on the verge of death, took her in, carefully taught her fighting skills, and went to great lengths to obtain a crystal core so that she could awaken her superpowers. These past events are still vivid in her mind.
What did she say at the time? Lin Ruo lowered her eyes and thought carefully. At that time, Fang Ling hugged her tightly while crying and said that her life would belong to Lin Ruo from now on.
And now? That glass of water laced with drugs was handed to her by her. For a man she had been with for less than a year, she had thrown all the past behind her.
Lin Ruo's lips curled into a mocking smile. Large snowflakes pelted her pale face. She really was worthless. She had saved all three of them from the brink of death, but what was her fate in the end?
Sure enough, kindness in the apocalypse is digging one's own grave. She didn't believe this before, but now it's too late.
Betrayal! Five years after the apocalypse, she too tasted the bitterness of betrayal!
"Hahahaha..." Lin Ruo looked up and laughed, mocking herself for being so stupid, "A life-or-death friendship is worthless in the face of interests."
Upon hearing this, the three people in front of him froze, their expressions revealing their unease. They had all been saved by Lin Ruo and had risked their lives for each other, yet in the end, they were the ones who had to personally send Lin Ruo to the experimental table.
One of the men knelt down in front of Lin Ruo with a thud, his eyes bloodshot and his face bitter. "Captain, I'm sorry, I, Li Ke, am so sorry, but I had no choice. Xiao Hui and Qin Qin have been captured by them, and I can't just watch them die!"
He finished speaking with his head down, then raised it again and said firmly, "Captain, don't worry, once I've settled them in, I'll do everything in my power to rescue you..."
Lin Ruo didn't listen to what he was about to say. She lay on her back on the ground, and snowflakes rushed down on her, cold and chilling to the bone. She had never known that snow could be so cold.
"Family... So even if I saved your whole family and awakened your superpowers, when it comes to making a choice, I am still the one who will be sacrificed in the end."
Li Ke shut his mouth instantly, the words stuck in his throat. His eyes were red and his face was full of bitterness. Fang Ling, who was kneeling on the ground beside him, also had tears streaming down her face. "I'm sorry, Sister Ruo, I really can't live without Qinghua... He's my life..."
"Are you two ever going to stop?!" The last teammate looked at the two kneeling on the ground. "Our captain is a level five ability user! If we delay any longer, the drug's effects will wear off!"
Lin Ruo turned to look at the anxious person. It was her college classmate. He was the one who had been clinging to her leg, crying and begging her to save him.
Five years of sharing life and death have resulted in this ugly face; it's truly despicable.
Her expression remained unchanged, and a slight smile even slowly crept into her eyes again. "Lu Qi is still the most decisive. You two should learn from him. Indecisiveness is a major taboo against the enemy."
Lu Qi's face stiffened. Unlike Fang Ling and Li Ke, who had to submit because their families were arrested, he was forced to submit because of the crystal core in the captain's head—a fifth-order crystal core that could allow him to break through to the fifth order.
But looking into Lin Ruo's eyes, a chill ran through him, and fear spread through his heart.
"What are you so arrogant about! There are so many superhumans here, you wouldn't be able to escape even if you had wings. What use is a space-type ability user besides storing things!"
"You might as well offer up your crystal core. I'm a fire-type ability user with exceptional attack power. Only when I reach level five can I better protect the base!"
Lu Qi's face flushed red with anger at his earlier fear. He stopped pretending and thought that Lin Ruo was the only level 5 ability user, but unfortunately, she was the least offensive space ability user. Rather than wasting this crystal core, he decided to give it to someone who needed it!
