After confirming there was no danger, he revealed his human form. He was of medium build and rather thin, wrapped in a thick brown cotton coat. He looked around again before approaching the mutated animals.
Lin Ruo narrowed her eyes and recognized the person. Although the clothes were different, she could naturally "see" the person's face because she was under the influence of her spiritual power.
This is the man in black she met on the rooftop of Dragon Garden. He was also drenched in the energy rain at the time, but she never expected that he would awaken such a superpower.
Lin Ruo had never encountered such a superpower in her previous life and didn't know much about it, but she couldn't let this person touch her prey. She narrowed her eyes and quickly shot an ice arrow towards the man.
The man was very alert and immediately reverted to his shadow form. A layer of dark light flashed across his body, and the ice arrow pierced through his body, embedding itself firmly in the ice on the ground.
Lin Ruo was surprised; her ice arrows had failed to harm her opponent.
Can this person's superpower ignore physical attacks? The blue light in her eyes flashed again, and the ice under the man's feet instantly emitted wisps of cold air. The dark light on the man's body flashed again, but the ice under his feet did not freeze him.
The man seemed startled, realizing that the hunter with superpowers was nearby, and he immediately tried to turn and leave.
He couldn't help but feel annoyed. He had been blinded by the crystal core. With such prey right here, how could the superhuman possibly stay far away?
Lin Ruo refused to believe it and her hand shone brightly with blue light, casting a thick ice shield around the man. However, the man's body shone with dark light and he still managed to pass through the ice shield and escape.
Lin Ruo did not give chase. Only after she sensed the man's departure with her spiritual power did she jump down with Afu and Ashou. While storing the mutated animals she had hunted into her spatial storage, she marveled at the man's special ability. This was not a shadow ability, but rather a "void" ability. What a unique ability.
Her repeated attacks had failed to harm him, but the dark light emanating from the man meant he was using his special abilities. If she were to encounter him again and truly want to kill him completely, she would probably only be able to wear him down to death.
Hmm... I need to go home and think carefully about how to deal with this kind of ability.
On the towering walls of Base B, armed soldiers paced back and forth in watchtowers, while high-voltage electric fences were once again erected on the walls.
Jiang Yue and his team quickly passed through the base gate and headed straight for the inner part of the base.
Ye Lin was listening to Chen Yu's mission summary at this moment, "This time we led a team to clean up the mutated animals within five kilometers of the base. Most of these mutated animals are large animals that are evolving very quickly."
"Many of them have evolved to be immune to firearms. Even heavy machine guns can only wound them, and it is extremely difficult to kill them. Only hand grenades and higher-level weapons can deal with such mutated animals."
Ye Lin was Chen Yu's comrade-in-arms before, so he naturally knew Chen Yu's ability to lead troops and his skills. Even he said that killing him was extremely difficult, so it would be even more impossible for anyone else to do it.
"These mutated animals are evolving too fast and their reproductive capacity has also increased. Next time we go to wipe them out, I'm afraid heavy machine guns will be useless."
Chen Yu sat to the side, his mood also very heavy. In this apocalyptic world, with its extremely cold weather and mutated animals, there was practically no way for humans to survive.
Ye Lin knew the number of weapons in the base's inventory. "When the Qiyuan base was separated, more than half of the base's inventory was lost. We don't have that many weapons in reserve now, so it seems that the cleanup mission will have to be put on hold for the time being."
Chen Yu looked at Ye Lin. He knew that Ye Lin understood what the base would face if the cleanup mission was put on hold, so he didn't try to persuade him further. He could only train the soldiers more to improve their chances of survival.
"Also, could you distribute one of those weapons made from underground ore to every soldier who goes out on a mission? Even a dagger would be fine. Ordinary knives are almost harmless to mutated animals; only weapons made from underground ore can cut through their flesh." Chen Yu's main purpose in coming today was to request this batch of weapons.
Ye Lin pondered for a moment, then sighed, "There wasn't much underground ore to begin with, and we lost a lot of it back then, so I'm afraid it will be difficult. I'll go and apply to the base chief later."
Chen Yu's eyes darkened. This Qiyuan Base was set up by two high-ranking officials, Yang Songming and Zhu Zhengzhong. They were trying to undermine the morale of the people within the base, and many survivor teams and ordinary citizens actually responded to their call.
Even the two remaining superhumans in the base sided with them.
Finally, the base commander was forced to agree to split up the base. When Qiyuan Base left, it only took tens of thousands of people with it, but it took half of the supplies and weapons.
Later, the base became unstable, and many survivors and ordinary people left the B City base. The once noisy and huge base is now half empty.
Actually, this is a good thing for the base, as it is equivalent to reducing the burden in disguise, but the behavior of Yang Songming and Zhu Zhengzhong is still despicable to them!
"Knock knock knock"
Just as they fell silent, there was a knock on Ye Lin's study door. "Report!"
