The next day, snowflakes began to fall again, and the entire bay, already covered in silver, was now shrouded in a hazy mist.
"Woof!"
Ah Shou cooperated with Ah Fu to bite Ah Liu's branches, but each time the branches just managed to entangle and tie him up. Ah Shou was not satisfied and kept barking at the huge willow tree.
Ignoring it, A-Liu focused on dealing with A-Fu, who was as slippery as an eel. A-Fu nimbly dodged A-Liu's attacks while trying to find a way to rescue A-Shou.
But it ultimately failed. When A-Liu added two more willow branches to the battlefield, it was also tied up tightly, and the battle ended with them being hung upside down from the tree.
At this moment, Lin Ruo also finished her exercise. She chuckled twice when she saw Afu and Ashou hanging upside down from the tree outside the window before turning around and going to the bathroom to take a shower.
When she came out after taking a shower, Ah Fu and Ah Shou had already been put down by Ah Liu, and the two of them were still whimpering and circling around Ah Liu's tree trunk.
"Alright, time to eat. We're going out after breakfast today." Lin Ruo called out to the door, then turned around and started preparing breakfast for them.
After finishing breakfast, Lin Ruo looked up at the wall clock; it was already ten o'clock.
"Let's go see what kind of deal they're talking about." After getting dressed, Lin Ruo jumped onto Afu's back and sat down, then ran quickly with Ashou towards the northern suburbs town.
Has she arrived?
Jiang Yue looked up and asked Chen Yu, who was standing at the window. Chen Yu turned his head and shook his head at him.
The three of them were waiting on the first floor of the building where Lin Ruo had tried to hide when he was "fishing" yesterday, with Chen Yu standing at the door watching.
Jiang Yue looked down at the watch hidden in his clothes. It was already 10:55. Could it be that the ice-type ability user wasn't coming?
Ye Lin sat by the fire, added a piece of firewood, and said leisurely, "Why are you in such a hurry? She will come if she wants to, and there's no use in worrying if she doesn't."
Jiang Yue sat down and scratched his head. "I don't think she's the kind of person who goes back on her word."
Ye Lin turned to look at Jiang Yue, her tone tinged with curiosity, "You've only met her once, how do you know what kind of person she is?"
Chen Yu also looked over in silence.
Jiang Yue rolled his eyes, picked up a piece of firewood and started stirring the fire. "Can't you tell from those two dogs? There's a saying that pets follow their owners, so there must be something in common in their personalities."
Lin Ruo had arrived long ago and was hiding upstairs. He used his mental energy to explore the surroundings but found no ambush, only these three people.
At 11 o'clock, she lightly jumped down and landed gracefully on the ice.
Chen Yu, who had been wary of his surroundings, took a step back alertly. Then, realizing what was happening, he said, "She's here."
Lin Ruo walked straight into the building and headed straight for Ye Lin, who was sitting in front of the fire.
Chen Yu then looked up at the building. He had been highly focused and hadn't noticed anyone upstairs. How could this person be so skilled? Was this the enhancement of superpowers?
Lin Ruo didn't care what they thought. She was already standing opposite Ye Lin, sitting in front of the fire, and asked bluntly, "What kind of deal?"
Ye Lin was slightly taken aback, not expecting her to be so direct. Jiang Yue glanced at the two of them, then got up and walked to the door to help Chen Yu guard the door.
Ye Lin pondered for a moment before saying, "We have discovered an underground granary in J City, but it is fraught with danger. We are worried that we do not have enough manpower, so we would like to ask you to come along. Tell us what kind of reward you would like to receive."
He was still being careful with his words; he didn't say where the granary was or how much grain was in it. It seemed like he was giving up the initiative, but in reality, he still held the initiative.
Grain depot? Lin Ruo's eyes flickered slightly. So it was for grain. It seemed that the grain reserves at the B City base were running low.
Seeing that she was pondering without speaking, Ye Lin was unsure of her thoughts. He subconsciously thought of the success rate that Chen Yu had analyzed earlier, and then thought about how many survivors in the base needed this batch of food to survive.
He gritted his teeth and decided to try again. "Don't worry, you only need to step in when we can't hold on any longer. You have absolute autonomy over everything else. We won't interfere. As for the reward, just name your price. As long as our base has it, we'll provide it. Even if we don't, we'll find a way..."
Lin Ruo turned to look at him with bright, sparkling eyes, "Anything is fine?"
Ye Lin felt a chill run down his spine from her gaze. Had he said something wrong?
But he still gritted his teeth and nodded; nothing was more important than the lives of so many survivors at the base.
Lin Ruo's mind is now completely focused on getting the Crystal Energy Cannon! It seems this batch of grain is very important to the B City base, which may have already reached its grain reserves limit.
Since the other party has delivered themselves to her doorstep, it would be somewhat disrespectful to the crystal cannon if she let them go.
"Are you capable of making the decision?" Lin Ruo still remembers standing outside the deputy base chief's door for a long time. Could someone with that position really make the decision about the crystal energy cannon?
Ye Lin took a deep breath. "You should have heard of Qiyuan Base. That base was separated from the B City base. After the separation, most of the base's senior management went there. Now I am the deputy base director. I can make decisions about whatever you want."
Lin Ruo stared at Ye Lin's face, her tone serious, "I heard that the B City base is currently researching crystal energy cannons?"
Upon hearing this, not only Ye Lin but also Jiang Yue and Chen Yu at the door looked at Lin Ruo. Lin Ruo, who was being stared at, looked at Ye Lin without any fear.
"How do you know about the Crystal Energy Cannon!" Jiang Yue exclaimed. This was a secret of the base, a project established after the Qiyuan Base was separated from it, and only the high-ranking officials of the B City base knew about it.
