The huge willow tree outside the gate shaded the fortress, making the light inside somewhat dim. Ah Fu and Ah Shou had run out to train with Ah Liu since they got up, and the fortress was quiet and still.
After four hours of training, Lin Ruo came out looking like she'd been pulled out of a sweat. Her revised training plan had definitely worked. As she was wiping her sweat with a towel, she suddenly heard the sound of a car engine outside.
Lin Ruo was taken aback at first, then remembered that Afu and the others were still training outside. She quickly ran to the door, put on a down jacket, and went out.
Once outside, she immediately spotted three trucks parked not far away, loaded with boxes of various sizes and the familiar banner.
Opposite Afu and Ashou stood more than twenty men dressed in black cotton-padded coats and wearing masks. Each of them held a rifle, but they did not point their guns at Afu and Ashou.
Ah Fu and Ah Shou were bending down, baring their teeth at them, while Ah Liu's willow branches swayed slightly, ready to pounce.
Lin Ruo took a step and rushed forward quickly. A moment later, she stood in front of Afu and Ashou.
Looking at the familiar huge banner on the car, Lin Ruo pressed the tip of her tongue against her cheek, a fierce glint flashing in her eyes. It was them again!
It seems that making an example of them the other day didn't work; they've even found our stronghold. Well then, let's wipe them all out!
The people on the other side were obviously panicked when they saw this scene. The two giant dogs in front of them were already frightening, and then there was a powerful superhuman in front of them, and behind them was an exaggeratedly growing willow tree. How could the willow tree grow so lush and green in this weather?
Upon closer inspection, they could see that the branches and leaves on the willow were gleaming with a cold light, clearly indicating that it was a mutated plant!
Cold sweat beaded on their backs. They seemed to have found some incredible place. Could this superhuman think they had come here specifically to find it?
They were only ordered to go down the mountain along this road to recruit strong people in the city below, but they did not expect to accidentally discover the residence of this superhuman.
"Hello! Don't misunderstand, we're just passing by and mean no harm."
The leading man in black glanced at the fortress beneath the towering tree, swallowed hard, and then spoke.
Lin Ruo naturally noticed the man's fleeting gaze, and the chill emanating from her body intensified.
Realizing that their actions could easily lead to misunderstandings, the man continued, "We really didn't come looking for them; we just happened to run into them."
He looked up and unconsciously glanced at the huge fortress behind Lin Ruo and the others. This fortress must be made of underground ore. Given the hardness of underground ore, how did she manage to make such a fortress?
Lin Ruo's gaze grew colder and colder. Regardless of whether the other party genuinely wanted to come here, if she didn't kill them today, not only would the location of her fortress be exposed, but her underground mining activities would also be revealed.
She has too many secrets and cannot afford such a risk.
She sighed inwardly. She had misunderstood before and shouldn't have taken chances. The fortress and the Qiyuan base were so close, how could they have remained undiscovered for so long?
If these people find out the location of the fortress, her peaceful life will be over. If she wants to move again in the future, many people will know that she has spatial abilities.
Having figured out the intricacies of the situation, Lin Ruo said no more. A blue light flashed in her eyes, and the water molecules around her quickly condensed.
Those people had dealt with superhumans before, and they could tell from Lin Ruo's eyes that he was about to use his powers. They quickly ran towards the car, while simultaneously drawing their guns and firing back to disrupt the superhuman's rhythm.
This might work for other superpowered individuals, but Lin Ruo had long since mastered the ability to multitask.
A thick ice shield enveloped her, Afu, and Ashou, while a dozen ice arrows shot towards the dozen or so people, all of which struck the people at the Qiyuan base, freezing them instantly into ice statues.
Lin Ruo nodded in satisfaction. This way, there was no need to worry about the smell of blood escaping, making it clean and environmentally friendly.
She scanned the truck with her mental energy and found that it was full of supplies, mostly fast food, with a lot of instant noodles and a few small hot pots.
She raised an eyebrow and smiled lightly. These people were quite nice; they even gave her a lot of supplies.
She put the three trucks and the ice man into her spatial storage, then turned around and took Afu and Ashou home, making plans for the move.
Back home, she took off her thick clothes and prepared breakfast for A-Liu and the other two. Before A-Fu and A-Shou ate, Lin Ruo carefully instructed A-Fu, "A-Fu, we may be moving today, so let's not go hunting."
Afu nodded and gently called out to Lin Ruo, "Awoo."
She patted Afu's head, and only then did Afu lower his head and begin to eat.
Seeing that Afu understood, Lin Ruo stopped interfering. Afu was sensible; it would listen to anything that was specifically instructed to it, and it would not only listen itself but also supervise A Shou to listen as well.
She then took out a box of fried rice and milk from her spatial storage. Lin Ruo used her water-based supernatural abilities to heat the milk before starting to eat.
After quickly finishing her breakfast, Lin Ruo tidied up the dishes and sat down on the sofa. She placed a map of City B on the coffee table and began to carefully select a suitable moving location.
The rat and insect swarms have passed. According to Lin Ruo's memories from her previous life, the next natural disaster should be a major earthquake, followed by a two-year period of extreme heat, during which time mutated plants will also appear one after another.
Now she is choosing a new place to stay, determined to avoid these dangers.
Now that she has obtained the underground ore, the rat and insect swarms have passed, and the B City base will develop a new standard weapon a year from now, she no longer needs to stay in the Yanshan area. The mountains here are high and there are many mutated plants, making it a dangerous area when earthquakes or mutated plants appear later.
