Lin Ruo easily resolved the problem, but the base was in an uproar over the grain on those more than one hundred oversized trucks.
Those who were originally queuing to exchange supplies and leave the base immediately understood the purpose of those trucks leaving a few days ago. If they still couldn't figure out the base's operation by now, then they were truly wasting their lives.
The B City base did this on purpose! They deliberately let them leave the base so they could get rid of them and stop distributing food to them!
"My God! I was almost at the point where I could exchange supplies. If my card gets cut, all this food will be gone..."
A woman clutched her resident card tightly, muttering to herself as her heart pounded. She had seen it clearly: a total of 106 large trucks, all loaded with grain. How much grain that was!
She had initially thought that the base's food reserves were running out because they were exchanging food for everyone. Now she realized how ridiculous her thinking was. This was an official base! How could they let those small bases outdo them!
She quickly wrapped her cotton-padded coat tighter around herself and ran towards her dormitory. Her dormitory lease was due to expire in just one day. She hadn't originally planned to renew it, but now it seemed she had to renew it for a longer period!
Many people shared the same idea as this woman, and crowds of people were rushing back everywhere.
Chen Yu stood at the exchange point, frowning as he looked at the crowd. Unfortunately, it wasn't completely cleared.
While Ye Lin and his team were away on missions for the past few days, many survivors left the base. Now, the B City base is full of empty houses, with no more than 500,000 people left.
Those who hadn't planned to leave the base cheered when they saw the massive grain convoy; their persistence had been worthwhile! The B City base hadn't collapsed!
Inside the base, Ye Lin handed over the task of unloading the grain to Lu Jincheng. After Duan Kejia unloaded all the grain from the space, he followed Jiang Yue to find Lin Ruo, while he hurriedly went to Zheng Qiming's villa to report the results of this mission.
Zheng Qiming was in the inner layer, so what happened there naturally couldn't escape his notice. It wasn't until Ye Lin brought the grain back that he couldn't sit still any longer and was getting dressed to rush out.
As soon as he stepped outside, he saw Ye Lin, who looked travel-worn, walking towards him. Zheng Qiming quickly walked a few steps to Ye Lin's side.
Ye Lin stood at attention and saluted Zheng Qiming. "Reporting, sir, mission successfully completed!"
"Great! Great!" Zheng Qiming patted Ye Lin's arm with a smile. "You've worked hard! This is all thanks to your blood and sweat. On behalf of the current residents of the B City base, thank you!"
Ye Lin shook his head, showing no arrogance despite the praise, "This is largely thanks to Lin Ruo, that ice-type ability user. Without her, we would probably be nothing but bones by now."
"We'll talk about that in the office later!" Zheng Qiming said with a smile. "I need to go check on our grain now! This is the hope of the base!"
"yes!"
Zheng Qiming and Ye Lin led several soldiers to the base's granary. Everyone was happy to see the bags of grain being unloaded. When Zheng Qiming heard the amount of grain, he said, "Reporting to the commander, a total of tons, all have been counted!"
"Close the warehouse door!" With this grain, the base won't have to worry about food for at least a year. Although the base still has a large population, we can eat it with other things mixed in, as long as people can survive!
"Xiao Ye! Come on! Give me a report on the mission!" After laughing, Zheng Qiming patted Ye Lin on the back, signaling him to follow.
Ye Lin followed Zheng Qiming to his office. Once there, Zheng Qiming personally poured Ye Lin a cup of hot water and said, "Tell me about that ice-type ability user you mentioned earlier."
Ye Lin took the water glass, his mind racing. "Her strength is immense, beyond our comprehension. She helped us deal with all the mutated animals and plants we encountered on the road. When we returned to City B, we even encountered people from the Qiyuan Base in the suburbs. They tried to threaten us with large-caliber howitzers to force us to hand over some of our food..."
"Qiyuan Base!" Zheng Qiming's eyes flashed with fury. "It's that Qiyuan Base again! They're utterly lawless!"
Ye Lin nodded. "Zhu Zhengzhong threatened that if we didn't hand over some of the grain, they would open fire, and then no one would get any grain. He also brought two superhumans and two mutated beasts with him. If Lin Ruo hadn't intervened, we really wouldn't have been able to escape unscathed."
"How did she make her move?" Zheng Qiming wanted to know just how powerful this superhuman was, but the result didn't really shock him.
Ye Lin recalled the scene and chuckled, "She likes to be straightforward and efficient. She directly used her superpower to blow up the heads of those two superpowered individuals, and their brains and blood were sprayed on Zhu Zhengzhong's face. His eyes at that moment were truly something else."
Zheng Qiming was still imagining the scene when he heard Ye Lin laugh even louder. "Since joining the army, we've always been the ones protecting others. This was the first time I experienced being protected by someone else. Lin Ruo was standing in front of us, with her two mutated dogs beside her. I truly felt a sense of security then."
Zheng Qiming sensed the admiration Ye Lin held for that person's strength in his words. After a long silence, he finally spoke, "Do you think she would use a crystal energy cannon against our base?"
Ye Lin's relaxed expression turned serious. He looked at Zheng Qiming earnestly and said, "It probably depends on our stance and hers. If we are on opposing sides, then she will definitely... If we don't interfere with each other, then she won't waste a single crystal core for us."
