Are these people trying to steal the prey she killed?
Lin Ruo's gaze turned slightly cold. Although they were the ones who discovered the bison first, it was she who ultimately killed it.
Given the bison's condition and speed, even if they used up all the ammunition on the vehicle, they wouldn't be able to kill it. Instead, the gunfire would attract more mutated animals to attack.
Why are these people chasing after this bison even though they can't beat it? Do they have some other purpose? A dark light flashed in Lin Ruo's eyes.
Jiang Yue almost cried when he saw Lin Ruo. He had searched for several days in the urban and suburban areas of B City but couldn't find her.
They risked coming to the northern suburbs just to find her. There are many mutated animals in the northern suburbs, and they almost couldn't get back several times. Today, he finally met her!
"finally found you!"
Lin Ruo frowned slightly and took a step back. What did this mean?
"Looking for me?" Lin Ruo twisted the hilt of her ice blade, extending it further. The original 1.2-meter blade now stretched to 1.5 meters, its threatening intent unmistakable. "What do you want?"
Jiang Yue knew from Lin Ruo's posture that she had misunderstood. He took a few steps back and, when they were at a safe distance, said with a smile, "We don't mean anything by it, we just want to talk to you about something."
"To discuss business?"
Lin Ruo repeated softly, "I have no connection with the B City base, what could we possibly talk about? Do they want me to join the B City base?"
"Not interested."
She turned around immediately after speaking and walked towards the level 2 mutated bison.
Today's bison will be a hit with the three big eaters in my family. They love beef and mutton, let alone a level 2 mutated beast.
Jiang Yue choked. Although he had seen her decisive way of rejecting Qiyuan Base, when it came to his own situation, he only felt a sense of unease. He followed Lin Ruo and took a few steps forward. "We want to make a deal with you."
Lin Ruo stopped in her tracks, her mind flashing back to her last visit to the base laboratory in City B, to the prescriptions she couldn't understand and the unfinished crystal energy cannon.
Thinking of the crystal energy cannon model she had seen last time, Lin Ruo felt a sense of defeat. After returning from the B City base, she tried repeatedly, but eventually gave up. The crystal energy cannon was too complicated and completely different from those crossbows. She simply couldn't make it.
She turned to look at Jiang Yue. If the B City base wanted to make a deal with her, she was willing to listen in order to get these things.
Although the Crystal Energy Cannon will take another year and a half to complete, and they can't possibly offer it to her for trade right now, she can pre-order it. As for the issue of integrity, Lin Ruo is never worried; she takes extra "care" of those who lack integrity.
Jiang Yue saw that she had stopped and knew she was interested, but he couldn't reveal everything here for fear of being overheard. "How about we find a safe place to talk tomorrow?"
Lin Ruo raised an eyebrow. Seeing his expression, she was somewhat suspicious. Was this a real deal or a trap set for her?
Seeing that she still didn't speak, Jiang Yue was afraid that others might come over and hear something, so he could only continue anxiously, "Don't worry, we don't have any bad intentions, it's just that we can't complete a mission in J City."
"I'd like to make a deal with you. Name your price, and as long as our base has the resources, we'll definitely fulfill it! Come tomorrow to hear the details of the deal, okay?"
Lin Ruo blinked slightly. J City?
She quickly searched her mind for major events that she had heard about in J City in her previous life. After searching for a long time, she could only remember that there was an oil depot there, and there seemed to be an extremely powerful mutated plant.
During the extreme heat of the previous life, the A City base and the J City base conducted refined oil transactions.
Lin Ruo, with her spatial abilities, was naturally part of the team going to J City for the transaction. Could it be that the B City base was going to the oil depot this time?
Doesn't the B City base have a lot of refined oil reserves? Based on her many visits to the B City base, the daily fuel consumption for power generation at the B City base exceeds 2 tons, not to mention the fuel needed by so many machines and vehicles.
Would any oil depot dare to use oil at this rate? Lin Ruo shook his head. So, the B City base must not be using oil this time for the oil depot. Then what is it for?
If it weren't for this reminder, she would have forgotten that J City had such a wonderful thing.
She searched the entire city of B for so long, but only managed to collect a little over 3,000 tons of refined oil. If she used it sparingly, it would last a long time.
But with such a huge temptation as an oil depot right in front of her, she felt like she was missing out if she didn't take it.
Lin Ruo secretly pondered whether she should go back and study the map of J City to take over the oil depot. She could also take the opportunity to drain that mutated plant and give A Liu a good boost when she got back.
"Can we stay here again at 11 a.m. tomorrow?" Jiang Yue asked tentatively.
Lin Ruo glanced at him a few times, and finally nodded in agreement.
Since the mission at the B City base doesn't involve this oil depot, it's still worthwhile to listen to the mission for the sake of the Crystal Energy Cannon.
Jiang Yue finally breathed a sigh of relief when he saw her nod.
Seeing that he neither spoke nor left, Lin Ruo finally asked, "Is there anything else?"
Jiang Yue was taken aback, then saw Lin Ruo standing in front of the water buffalo carcass on the ground, the meaning of which was self-evident: this was her prey.
He suddenly realized that the reason she hadn't left was because of the bison? It seemed he should really thank the bison; otherwise, she probably wouldn't have even given him a chance to speak.
He coughed lightly, showing no intention of competing with Lin Ruo for the prey. The reason they were chasing this bison was because it had killed one of their companions, and now that the bison was dead, they had avenged it.
He turned and waved to the people behind him, and the soldiers who had been guarding him quickly boarded the military truck.
