"Stop and take a break."
The entire convoy slowly came to a stop, with the vehicles lined up in a straight line. The distance between the lead car and the last car in the convoy, which was Lin Ruo's car, was more than one kilometer, including the length of the cars and the distance between them.
Lin Ruo didn't approach the convoy. She drove the car to a distance of a few dozen meters from the convoy and then stopped. She got out of the car and nimbly jumped into the back of the truck. Afu and Ashou immediately came over. They had been cooped up in the truck all morning and had only gone down to run once.
Lin Ruo rubbed their fluffy heads. "After you finish eating, go downstairs and play for a bit, but don't go too far."
Afu licked Lin Ruo's hand and let out a "woof," while A Shou nudged Lin Ruo's palm with his head.
She used her water-based supernatural abilities to melt the mutated wild boar's carcass for Afu and Ashou, then used an ice blade to cut out the amount they usually ate and put it into their food bowls. The smell of blood immediately filled the air, filling two large bowls.
As for fruit, it was definitely out of the question; it would attract too much attention. Ah Fu and Ah Shou were already starving and began to feast.
Lin Ruo froze the remaining mutated beast meat. Then she squatted down in front of Afu and Ashou's food bowls, placing her hands on the sides of the bowls to keep the meat warm. If she didn't keep it warm, the meat would soon freeze again due to the extreme cold.
Fortunately, Afu and Ashou knew that their master hadn't eaten either, so they ate quickly and finished the whole big bowl of meat in just over ten minutes.
Lin Ruo looked at them hurrying along, her eyes softening. It seemed she should make a fire next time so that Afu and Ashou wouldn't have to eat so fast.
She added some more lake water to them and watched them drink it all before turning back to the driver's seat.
The driver's cab was heated, making it much warmer than outside. She first used her mental energy to water the willow tree in the space. The willow tree knew that Lin Ruo had come, but it didn't know where Lin Ruo was. It stretched out two willow branches and searched everywhere.
Lin Ruo used her mental energy to soothe A Liu for a while, prepared lunch for it, and then withdrew her mental energy from the space.
Without getting out of the car, she took out a few steamed buns from her backpack and used her water-based superpower to heat the frozen mineral water until it melted and became warm before she unscrewed the bottle and took a sip.
Ye Lin and the others had all gotten out of the car. The convoy, which stretched for several hundred meters, formed a large circle to block the cold wind blowing in from outside. There were soldiers on guard outside the circle, while the others sat inside. Several campfires were set up, some were cooking instant noodles, and others were distributing coarse grain buns. The division of labor was clear, and the work was quick.
Seeing that Lin Ruo hadn't gotten out of the car, Ye Lin gave Jiang Yue a look. Jiang Yue put down the multigrain steamed bun in his hand, strode to her car, and knocked on the door.
Lin Ruo rolled down the car window, her eyes the only part of her face visible, and looked at him, waiting for him to speak.
Jiang Yue was actually somewhat used to Lin Ruo's attitude, and said with a smile, "Hey! Our base isn't that stingy. We provide meals, including instant noodles and the like. Come down and eat."
"No need." If it weren't for those two crystal cannons, she wouldn't have participated in this mission, and even if she had, she wouldn't have wanted to have much interaction with them.
After the transaction is complete, it's best to go back to normal.
Besides, Lin Ruo didn't really want to eat those multigrain buns; the "simulation" she made herself tasted much better.
Jiang Yue scratched his head. Since she was unwilling, they couldn't force her. Then, he asked, "What's your name? We can't keep calling you 'Hey' all the time."
Lin Ruo lowered her eyes and glanced at him, then slowly uttered two words, "Lin Ruo".
She then quickly closed the car window. With the window open, the temperature inside the car, which had been rising with effort, began to drop.
A faint blue light shone in her eyes. She turned around and used her water-based superpower to regulate the temperature before picking up the food beside her and starting to eat, without giving Jiang Yue outside the car even a glance.
After she finished eating, she had some free time to cultivate her supernatural abilities. However, the morning assembly time was too early, and she lived far away, so she hadn't finished her cultivation for the day.
Thinking of this, Lin Ruo lowered her gaze and looked at the dashboard. She had only traveled a little over 150 kilometers that morning. At this rate, it would take at least three days to reach J City.
Adding the time spent loading food and going to the oil depot, the round trip would take about a week. Under such circumstances, she couldn't train her physical abilities, but she couldn't neglect her cultivation of supernatural powers.
Afu and Ashou also jumped out of the car, but instead of going out to play, they sensibly squatted by Lin Ruo's car door, watching Jiang Yue who had not yet left.
Jiang Yue's lips twitched. Whether it's a person or a dog, they're all so wary of outsiders.
He shrugged, turned around and went back to the camp. After sitting down lazily, he said helplessly to Ye Lin, who was eating noodles, "They are very wary of us and don't want to have much contact with us."
He then sighed and continued, "In this world, it's right to be wary of people; those who aren't wary of others won't live long."
Ye Lin nodded, finished the noodles and soup in the bowl in a few bites, and then said, "If you don't want to have more contact, that's fine. We're just doing a transaction, there's no need to force anyone."
Jiang Yue took the instant noodles handed to him by a soldier next to him, took a bite and then remembered, "Oh right, she said her name is Lin... Ruo, yes, Lin Ruo."
"Hmm." Ye Lin nodded, picked up the piece of firewood that had just been split, threw it into the fire, and stared at the burning flames in a daze.
After the convoy rested for an hour, Ye Lin wanted to gather everyone to continue their journey. He then saw Lin Ruo's two large dogs guarding the front of Lin Ruo's car closely, baring their teeth at anyone who came near.
Jiang Yue glanced at the car and saw two dogs squatting beside it, acting like guards, which was quite different from their usual behavior. His eyes lit up and he said, "Is she recovering her powers? Maybe she used up too much power when she killed those mutated beasts this morning?"
