Under the moonlight, huge figures swooped down from the dark sky.
Without Guan Zhiheng's supernatural ability to suppress them, the mutated pigeons at Qiyuan Base quickly broke through the soldiers' machine gun defenses and attacked the soldiers behind them.
A soldier had his eyes pecked out by a mutated pigeon. He covered his eyes, his wound frozen solid by the extreme cold, and the blood clinging to his hands froze his hands and face together.
Not just this person, but anyone in the team who fell would be overwhelmed by swarms of mutated pigeons. These pigeons used their sharp beaks to peck at their flesh, and soon a person would be torn to shreds.
"Quick! Use the howitzers! Move closer to the B City base!" Guan Zhiheng was pale after exhausting his superpowers. Seeing the soldiers outside falling one after another, he wanted to shift the blame.
Could Lin Ruo grant him his wish? A cold smile curled at the corner of her mouth beneath her mask. Did she think it was so easy to take advantage of her?
She stopped attacking and instead conjured an ice shield above the convoy at the B City base, protecting everyone in the convoy. Several mutated pigeons that crashed into the ice shield were instantly frozen into ice birds and fell to the ground.
Upon seeing this enormous ice shield, Guan Zhiheng's pupils constricted sharply. How much supernatural power would such an ice shield require! Just what level is this woman?!
At this point, the mutated pigeons attacked the people at the Qiyuan base more and more fiercely, and people were injured one after another.
At this moment, the howitzers at Qiyuan Base were finally ready. In this life-or-death situation, Guan Zhiheng was no longer worried that the howitzers would damage the vehicles, and shells were fired one after another into the air.
"Boom!" The howitzer shells exploded in mid-air with tremendous force, shaking the ground.
The surrounding vehicles shook violently, and the shattered bird carcasses, mixed with blood and fine dust, fell from the sky, landing on the ground with a thud.
Many soldiers at Qiyuan Base were also affected by the bomb blast and fell to the ground.
However, the howitzer was very effective, and many of the pigeons in the air were killed or injured. Combined with the number of deaths and injuries at the base in City B, most of the thousands of pigeons were killed or injured. Seeing that they could not gain any advantage, they turned around and flew away.
Even as it flew away, it didn't forget to pack up takeout food, grabbing those severed limbs and flying into the air.
After the pigeons left, the Qiyuan base was in ruins. Of the hundreds of people in the team, dozens had died, which was a huge loss.
Ye Lin frowned as he looked at the dark red bloodstains and severed limbs on the ground, including several skeletons with bits of flesh still attached, a truly pitiful sight.
But he didn't say anything. He knew the reality clearly. If it weren't for Lin Ruo, they would probably be in even worse shape than the Qiyuan Base.
Afu and Ashou happily dug for crystal cores with Lin Ruo. There were quite a few level one crystal cores among the fallen pigeons. After Lin Ruo quickly finished digging up the crystal cores of the mutated pigeons he had shot down, he heard Ye Lin issue an order to the team.
"The stench of blood is too strong here, let's keep going!"
At this moment, Guan Zhiheng, whose face was pale, walked over and said to Ye Lin with a smile, "Commander Ye, you see, we used to be one family. We have suffered heavy losses and our military strength has not yet recovered. Can we go with you?"
Jiang Yue, standing next to Ye Lin, rolled his eyes. Hadn't they been sticking around before? The reason they came over this time, supposedly to discuss things, was obvious: they wanted them to protect the Qiyuan Base team. In the end, they just wanted their team's "big weapon."
Ye Lin looked at Lin Ruo beside him, whose face darkened. "I am only responsible for the safety of the team at the B City base. The rest is none of my business."
Guan Zhiheng's face stiffened. She had just made her stance clear with a huge ice shield, so he naturally knew that.
Ye Lin understood Lin Ruo's unspoken meaning: if he agreed, he would be responsible for the safety of the Qiyuan base team, and she would not interfere.
Ye Lin's mind cleared up instantly, and that tiny bit of pity vanished completely.
"Sorry, our team has also suffered casualties and is too busy to help. Let's all go our separate ways," he said to Guan Zhiheng, then shouted to his own team, "Hurry up, the mutated beasts are coming soon!"
After saying that, he walked straight past Guan Zhiheng. Jiang Yue followed behind him, and seeing Guan Zhiheng's face turn cold in an instant, he put on a triumphant smile.
Finally, they vented their malice. They were so arrogant when they betrayed the base with their men, but now they're experiencing the bitterness of being rejected when they ask for help? Serves them right!
The convoy from the B City base set off quickly, heading forward. However, there were also a large number of mutated beasts a few kilometers ahead. Lin Ruo used his mental power to cover the surrounding area for several kilometers.
Choose a path on the map where these mutated beasts are distributed to avoid them as much as possible.
"Head northwest, and stop after two kilometers." Lin Ruo finished speaking into the walkie-talkie, then tossed it aside and continued driving.
The lead vehicle, without even hearing Ye Lin's order, headed northwest without hesitation, as if Lin Ruo were their commander.
Ye Lin, walking in the middle of the group, felt his prestige plummeting in the past few days, and now it seemed he had almost nothing left.
The convoy stopped at a spot Lin Ruo had scouted out, a blind spot where the mutated beasts were scattered, where they could stay for several hours.
Many soldiers were injured in the battle just now, and some were frostbitten by the extremely cold weather outside. They all need to be treated.
After Lin Ruo got out of the car and settled Afu and Ashou, she returned to the car to cultivate. She didn't expend much mental energy, but since she couldn't sleep anyway, she might as well use it for cultivation.
Three hours later, Lin Ruo opened her eyes, stretched, and saw that it was already bright outside. Some people in the convoy were preparing breakfast. She looked at the clock in the car; it was five in the morning.
