"Boom, boom!"
More than a hundred giant trucks drove in the middle of the road. With Lin Ruo's escort, the convoy traveled much faster in one day than it had on the way there.
"Stop and rest for a bit, we'll set off again in two hours!" Lin Ruo said as he drove, Ye Lin's voice came through the walkie-talkie again.
Lin Ruo let out a breath and checked the time; it was already 10 p.m.
The day wasn't too strenuous for her, but it was quite torturous for Afu and Ashou in the back of the train, as they couldn't eat or drink properly.
The two had been gently scratching at the carriage since noon. Lin Ruo used her supernatural power to dissolve a mutated beast in their bodies. They only ate half of what they normally would, and even when given lake water in a basin, they didn't drink much.
If the convoy doesn't stop for repairs, she'll stop the car herself; she can't let Afu and Ashou suffer any injustice.
After parking the car, Lin Ruo quickly got out to feed the two animals in the back. She first gave each of them half a basin of lake water. Once the car stopped, they began to drink the water voraciously, clearly very thirsty.
Then Lin Ruo thawed a mutated python she had caught on the road and used an ice blade to cut off twice the usual amount for each of them, letting them eat as much as they wanted.
After drinking the water, Afu and Ashou regained their appetite. In addition, snake meat is delicious. This time, each of them ate about 180 jin (90 catties), which was dozens of jin (10 kg) more than usual before they were full. It can be seen that they were very hungry this time.
Lin Ruo jumped off the carriage, returned to the driver's seat, took out some pancakes from her spatial storage and ate a bite. She had been eating while driving at noon, but she was still not full. She usually only ate 5-6 pancakes per meal, but this time she ate eight and drank a cup of hot milk.
Lin Ruo's mental energy sank into the space. There were still two mutated beasts left in front of A Liu, enough for two meals, but all the fruit had been eaten.
She could only give it some more fruit before going to deal with the mutated rats collected from the J City oil depot.
Although these rats are not as numerous as those at the B City base, after such a long period of growth, many of the mutated rats have evolved to have first-level crystal cores through continuous feeding, and the proportion of crystal cores is very high.
Lin Ruo manipulated this spatial ability to dig open the heads of the mutated rats with crystal cores. Hundreds of thousands of mutated rats yielded one level-one crystal core and five level-two crystal cores.
These crystal nuclei were washed clean with water balloons and placed into the crystal nuclei pile. Tens of thousands of crystal nuclei were put in, but the height of the crystal nuclei pile did not increase.
She withdrew her mental energy from the space, checked her own superpower status, and then took out two level 2 crystal cores from the space to quickly restore her superpower.
More than an hour later, Lin Ruo opened her eyes, and her superpowers had returned to their best state.
At that moment, Ye Lin's voice came through the walkie-talkie, "Ready? The convoy is moving!"
One by one, the cars in front started moving. Ye Lin kept looking at Lin Ruo's car in the rearview mirror until Lin Ruo started the car before he looked away.
Surprisingly, even after expending so much of her superpowers, she was still able to keep up with the convoy's pace.
Driving at night, the extreme cold and reduced visibility, coupled with the rugged and uneven roads in the countryside, caused the convoy to slow down again and again, but they still persevered and continued to move forward.
Suddenly, a loud explosion came from ahead. Lin Ruo quickly extended her mental energy forward and immediately discovered that a car tire had blown out. The entire car was completely unbalanced due to its heavy load. The front of the car was moving forward, but the body was tilting rapidly to the left.
Lin Ruo's eyes shone brightly with blue light, and a hand several meters tall appeared on the left side of the car in an instant, sticking to the car body that was about to tip over and quickly righting the car. When the car slowly came to a stop, the huge icy hand dissipated in the air.
The grain loaded on the truck only swayed slightly at first and did not fall off.
At this moment, the entire convoy slowly came to a stop, and Ye Lin immediately picked up the walkie-talkie and asked, "What's wrong?"
"Reporting to the commander, the tire has blown out," a soldier's voice came through the walkie-talkie a few seconds later, with a hint of gratitude in his voice. "Thanks to Sister Ruo, otherwise the vehicle would have overturned."
If Lin Ruo hadn't managed to stabilize the truck in time, it would have overturned, and given its size, the people inside would have been injured. That's why he was grateful to Lin Ruo.
"Everyone get out of the car and check the tires of each vehicle."
After saying this, Ye Lin led his men out of the car to check the car with the flat tire. Lin Ruo sat in the car behind and watched Ye Lin and his men inspect the vehicle without getting out.
She had already checked the tires before setting off, and her mental energy was constantly monitoring the vehicle's condition, so she didn't need to get out of the car to check.
The car's left rear tire had a large hole and needed to be replaced. Ye Lin ordered a hydraulic jack to be brought over, and a dozen people worked hard to put the spare tire on, finally allowing the car to get back on the road.
Lin Ruo yawned and continued driving to catch up with the convoy.
The entire convoy traveled day and night, and three days later, they finally entered the outskirts of City B. Once they arrived, it was like they were home, and all the soldiers in the convoy finally relaxed.
Lin Ruo also relaxed a little. She hadn't slept for three days in a row. Even though she was physically strong, she was still tired. She was thinking that she must get a good night's sleep when she got back.
Lin Ruo habitually extended his mental energy forward to check if the road ahead was safe, but unexpectedly discovered that someone was planning to ambush them two kilometers away.
She frowned slightly. Was a convoy from the City B base lying in ambush within City B?
She picked up the walkie-talkie that was lying in ambush two kilometers away.
Ye Lin had no doubt about Lin Ruo's words. Lin Ruo had proven the correctness of her words many times along the way.
