Lin Ruo shook her head, "No need."
She turned to look for Afu and Ashou. They hadn't been fed for so long, and she wondered if they were throwing a tantrum.
The mutated beasts drew closer and closer, until Guan Zhiheng from the Qiyuan Base used his metal-based supernatural abilities to kill them. He then ordered the corpses to be thrown far away to prevent the smell of blood from attracting other mutated beasts.
The convoy had been rushing all day, and everyone was exhausted. They all ate a little something and then rested, including Lin Ruo. She fed the three big eaters, ate a few pancakes and drank a cup of hot milk, and then rested. Although driving doesn't take a toll on mental energy, it was still tiring after such a long time.
Lin Ruo wanted to get a good night's sleep. She hadn't had a proper rest since she left. Ah Shou was keeping watch outside, and the night was quiet.
But in the middle of the night, Ah Shou started barking again. Lin Ruo opened her eyes again and sighed deeply. It's really not easy to go out after the apocalypse.
Take extreme cold for example. At night, she needs a warm shelter and has to be wary of attacks from so many mutated beasts. Even though it's only a short distance from the city, she hasn't had a good night's sleep for three days.
She quickly extended her spiritual power, her eyes slightly tinged with blue—this time it was a mutated pigeon!
There were probably over a thousand pigeons, each about a meter long. Under the moonlight, they looked like a dark, heavy cloud flying by!
Lin Ruo raised an eyebrow. The survivors in J City had really fed these mutated beasts well; they had all grown to such a large size.
The entire convoy was now awake. With the help of their night vision goggles, they all saw the huge flock of mutated pigeons in the air. Their expressions changed slightly. These flying mutated beasts were much more difficult to deal with than those on land. Their guns and cannons might not even be able to reach them.
Lin Ruo got dressed, got up, and got out of the car. This time, she covered Afu and Ashou with a protective layer. These mutated pigeons had evolved to be more powerful than the eagles before the apocalypse, and Afu and Ashou would easily be injured if they fought against them.
At this point, almost all the soldiers got off the vehicle, holding rifles and sniper rifles, and were all ready for battle.
Although the weather outside was unusually cold, and many soldiers' faces turned red from the cold after only a few minutes outside, they held their guns tightly and persevered. The situation was urgent, and they were prepared to bleed and sacrifice themselves when they came.
At this moment, the people at Qiyuan Base were also on high alert, and Guan Zhiheng also looked grim. With so many mutated pigeons, his superpowers couldn't withstand the drain.
He turned to look in the direction of the B City base, where he saw Lin Ruo standing in the center of the crowd, looking up at the mutated beast flying closer and closer, the blue light in her eyes particularly noticeable.
Within two minutes, the mutated pigeons reached the vicinity of the convoy. As soon as they entered firing range, the soldiers began firing their rifles, and many pigeons were hit by bullets and fell from the sky.
Some pigeons were shot down but didn't die, so Afu and Ashou quickly ran over to finish them off.
Many pigeons smelled the scent of the flesh and blood of the level 2 mutated beasts on them and swooped down toward Afu and Ashou. However, when they reached Afu and Ashou, they were always blocked by an invisible membrane and then pinned to the ground and bitten to death by Afu and Ashou with a single claw.
Although the B City base was heavily armed, many pigeons still broke through the protective perimeter, scratching and pecking the soldiers in the convoy. In an instant, the smell of blood, accompanied by screams, grew stronger and stronger.
A blue light flashed in Lin Ruo's eyes. Dozens of rapidly spinning, marble-sized ice crystals gathered around her and, under her mental control, shot quickly toward the mutated pigeons.
In an instant, dozens of pigeons that were about to attack the soldiers at the B City base fell from the sky, and the dark clouds seemed to have been smoothed out, as if a layer had been removed.
Ye Lin's eyes lit up, and he shouted to the soldiers, "Gather over here towards Lin Ruo, everyone form a circle!"
Lin Ruo turned to look at him, but did not refute him. This was part of the deal; she had to ensure the safety of the B City base convoy.
The soldiers all ran towards Lin Ruo and surrounded her.
The blue light in her eyes intensified, and more ice crystals gathered around her. Under the control of her immense mental power, she shot down the pigeons that were preparing to harm the warriors of the B City base.
The soldiers felt a sudden relief from the pressure. Seeing that they had someone protecting them, they felt a surge of pride and used their rifles as if they were machine guns, sending countless bullets flying towards the mutated pigeons.
The mutated pigeons had also developed intelligence. Seeing that this place was as impenetrable as an iron wall, they simply attacked the Qiyuan Base next door.
Qiyuan Base originally wanted to learn from the tactics of B City Base and also surrounded Guan Zhiheng. However, Guan Zhiheng's superpower could not keep up. He could only launch a dozen or so metal marbles each time. Because of insufficient mental strength, he could not shoot as accurately as Lin Ruo. Many of the metal marbles missed their mark and only hit the pigeons. He only lasted for half an hour before his superpower was exhausted.
"ah!"
