On the empty street, two mutated beasts, each five meters long, were running at high speed, followed by a black-clad man who moved with incredible speed. They were Lin Ruo and Afu Ashou.
After walking for a while, Lin Ruo dispersed her spiritual energy to make sure that none of the tails behind her dared to follow anymore before she put the two boxes of instant noodles into her spatial storage. Today's harvest would begin with these two boxes of instant noodles.
However, she was conspicuous in the city, so revealing her water-based abilities was enough; she had no intention of revealing her spatial abilities.
Lin Ruo stroked Afu's fur. "Come on! We'll go catch some 'food' for you!"
Afu let out a "woof" at Lin Ruo, and Lin Ruo rode on Afu's back. Together with Ashou, they quickly left the urban area of City B.
Afu and Ashou ran all the way, and in less than half an hour they arrived at the outskirts of City B. Many of the buildings here had collapsed, and there were far fewer people compared to the city center.
It was nearly noon. Lin Ruo used her mental power to scan the surroundings and found a secluded spot to rest. She took out some dry firewood from her spatial storage and lit it to make a campfire. There was also a small pot on the fire. A blue light flashed in her eyes, and water slowly filled the pot.
She took out Afu and Ashou's food bowls from her spatial storage and put some meat and offal in them. She didn't put any fruit in them, because in this weather, if she put too much in, they would freeze before they finished eating.
Place their food bowls near the fire so that the meat won't freeze before they finish eating.
Afu and Ashou started eating heartily. The water in Lin Ruo's pot also boiled. She took out two packets of braised instant noodles and started cooking them, adding two eggs and some ham sausages.
Lin Ruo hadn't eaten instant noodles in a long time, and when she tried them for the first time, she found them quite delicious. She drank the soup and all the noodles together. A thin layer of sweat appeared on her body, and she quickly used her water-based superpower to dry the sweat, as sweat can easily freeze in extremely cold weather.
After eating and drinking their fill, Lin Ruo and the others rested there for a while. When they saw survivors approaching in the distance, they left.
Riding Ah Shou to an open space, Lin Ruo extended her spiritual power to explore and confirmed that there were many mutated beasts around. Only then did she take out a mutated pheasant from her space and melt the ice on its body.
He kept his water-based powers active, preventing the mutated pheasant from freezing in the extreme cold. He used an ice blade to cut the pheasant open and expose it to the air. Then he took out the blood he had released when killing animals earlier and splashed it on the ground nearby. It immediately froze on the ground due to the cold weather, but the strong smell of blood still quickly wafted out.
Lin Ruo, Afu, and Ashou found a place to hide themselves. Now, most of the mutated animals in the southern and eastern suburbs are large mutated animals. They are not afraid of humans and will not be killed. They can also find enough "food" here, so they like to stay here.
There are also some small, wary mutant beasts that have been hunted by humans a lot, so they are quite alert and will wait a long time before eating even food that is right in front of them.
Just as it was about to encounter the pheasant, Lin Ruo sent them on their way with an ice bullet.
The corpses were then left there, waiting to attract even larger mutated animals.
Within ten minutes, a large creature arrived: a mutated brown bear and a mutated rhinoceros, running from different directions. Lin Ruo's eyes lit up; both of these were level 2 mutated beasts.
This brown bear had grown to 10 meters tall, much larger than the black bear they had killed before. It still looked like a bear, but its fangs were longer and its claws were half a meter long, making it look somewhat like Wolverine's arm.
When Lin Ruo saw the dense brown fur, and thought of the bearskin curtain in the space that kept out the cold, her eyes looked at the brown bear with more anticipation.
The rhinoceros was over ten meters long, and its long, pointed horn was nearly a meter long, with some dark red bloodstains on it.
Judging from their size, these two must weigh several tons each, enough to feed Afu and the others for a while.
"Moo!"
Just as the bear and hippopotamus were about to fight over the mutated animal carcasses on the ground, Lin Ruo gifted each of them a spatial blade. The two transparent spatial blades slashed towards the two mutated beasts, and the two beasts, who were originally looking at each other, unconsciously looked in the direction from which the spatial blades were sent. They both sensed the danger.
Before they could even make a move, their heads were all sliced off by the spatial blades. Their huge heads fell to the ground with a thud, blood splattering high into the air. They froze in mid-air before falling to the ground and shattering into pieces.
The smell of blood wafted over again, and Lin Ruo clearly heard Afu and Ashou swallowing. She gently patted their front legs, "Bear with it."
Afu nuzzled his nose against Lin Ruo's shoulder, while Ashou simply lay down on the ground and covered his nose with his big paws, as if that would block out his extremely sensitive sense of smell.
Attracted by the flesh and blood of these two level 2 mutated beasts, one mutated beast after another came running, and all of them were killed by Lin Ruo. In no time, a large pile of mutated animal corpses was piled up here.
Lin Ruo looked up at the sky; it was already evening. She said to Afu and Ashou beside her, "That's about enough for today. We should go home."
Just as Afu and Ashou were about to stand up, they heard Lin Ruo exclaim "Eh!" and they looked towards Lin Ruo.
Lin Ruo was staring intently at the hunting grounds below when a faint, light gray shadow appeared. It was a shadow so large that light could even pass through it.
If Lin Ruo hadn't detected that it was a person through her mental scan, she would have thought it was an illusion caused by the twilight.
The man cautiously observed his surroundings but did not find Lin Ruo and Afu Ashou. Although he knew that they might be prey of some powerful figure, the size of the brown bear and rhinoceros lying there indicated that there must be crystal cores in their heads!
