I bought this at the port when it was sold for free, but I've never ridden it before. I decided to take it out and ride it this time. It's fast and not too picky about road conditions.
She took out an oil can from her spatial storage, filled the motorcycle with gas, and then tried it out. She gripped the brake tightly and turned the throttle hard with her right hand, and the motorcycle immediately roared loudly. Wave after wave of sound made Lin Ru feel a little excited.
Lin Ruo gripped the clutch, shifted gears, and accelerated, propelling the motorcycle forward.
Riding a motorcycle feels different from driving a car. There's a thrilling feeling of speeding along, which gets your adrenaline pumping and makes you feel exhilarated.
She rode her motorcycle all the way to the northern suburbs. The silt left by the sea had frozen solid and was no longer muddy.
Although no cracks were seen along the way, many broken and withered tree remains were seen, some only half left, some stuck in the mud, and many remains of mutated beasts and humans lay on the roadside, covered with frost. These were all left behind when the tide went out. The closer to the city, the worse the situation became.
Lin Ruo rode his motorcycle, scanning the remains of the mutated animals with his mental energy. When he encountered any with crystal cores, he stopped and dug them out. Although they were all level 1 crystal cores, they were still freebies.
To get to the Yanshan Mountains, the shortest way is to go through the northern suburbs first, but that would be a very long detour that would take several hours.
Lin Ruo extended her mental energy as she rode her bike, and sure enough, the roads in the northern suburbs were completely blocked by mud and collapsed buildings. She sighed softly; she knew she couldn't get through.
She rode her bike to a nearby spot, found a secluded place to get off, and stored the motorcycle in her storage space. Given the road conditions, she would have to walk the rest of the way.
As she expanded her spiritual power, she suddenly saw a level-one crystal core pressed under a pile of large rocks. She took out a black jade longsword from her backpack and slashed at the rocks with force, easily cutting them apart. Lin Ruo used her foot to push aside the broken rocks, revealing a wild cat that had been crushed to death inside.
Such a huge tsunami didn't wash these mutated beasts away!
Lin Ruo plunged the tip of her knife into the wildcat's brain, dug out the shiny crystal core, washed it clean with a thin stream of water, and put it in her pocket.
Then her eyes lit up slightly. Now that she was here, there must be many mutated beast corpses in these ruins that were either crushed by the earthquake or left behind by the sea.
There might be many crystal cores there too. Since she has to pass through this place anyway, she might as well look for them while she's on her way. It won't take up much time anyway.
She took out a hiking backpack from her spatial storage and carried it on her back, intending to use it to store crystal cores and also to avoid attracting attention.
The further in you go, the more collapsed buildings you see. Some of these buildings are surrounded by people who are groping through the rubble and crying out in pain.
The three-day earthquake has basically destroyed all the buildings in the city, and people are still digging through the rubble around many of them.
These pebbles were covered with silt, which was also frozen, making it impossible to dig them open with bare hands.
"My child! Someone please help me save my child!"
"Help! Someone help me! Honey! Are you still alive? Honey, answer me!"
"Waaaaah... Mommy, Daddy, where are you?"
Crying could be heard everywhere. The earthquake and tsunami had passed, and the survivors finally had time to remember their loved ones.
Many people also squatted in the corner, staring blankly at the people walking by. They had lost hope in the world. They didn't know how much longer they could live. Every time they thought they had passed the most difficult moment, but reality was so cruel.
This earthquake and tsunami have struck; what will happen next? They don't know where the end of natural disasters lies. All they know is that they have nothing left—no food, no water, no place to live…
Lin Ruo walked past these people, rapidly expanding his mental energy to search for crystal cores in the ruins.
They hadn't found any mutated beasts around them yet, but instead spotted a man sneaking around in a corner doing something.
She probed with her spiritual power and "saw" the scene inside. She frowned slightly. In front of the man was a child whose belly had been cut open. The man was wolfing down the child's internal organs. His eyes revealed madness and greed, and his entire face was covered in blood!
Bloodstains were everywhere. The little boy's eyes were bulging, his mouth was wide open, and his fingers were still moving unconsciously. It was clear that his stomach had been slashed open while he was still alive.
Lin Ruo expressionlessly scanned other directions with her mental energy, not wanting to meddle in other people's business.
After the earthquake and tsunami, survival will be even more difficult for these survivors. Before, they could find some supplies in the buildings, but now all the buildings have collapsed, and the supplies have been buried under the rubble.
Unable to find food, these people will eat anything to survive: tree bark, dirt, the flesh of mutated beasts that cause strange diseases, and even cannibalism.
They all wanted to live; without these things, they would starve to death very soon.
These people don't realize that after eating human flesh, they can no longer taste anything else. Everything else tastes bland and is hard to swallow. Only by constantly eating people can they feel that they are still alive.
Therefore, eating human flesh is more addictive than drugs, and it's impossible to quit.
Lin Ruo used her mental energy to search the city. There were indeed quite a few mutated beasts in the ruins, and now they were all hers. It was just a pity that most of these mutated beasts had been smashed to pieces, and Afu and Ashou probably wouldn't like to eat them anymore.
As she wandered through the city, she discovered many mutated sea beasts. Their enormous size attracted a large number of survivors who were constantly digging out and eating the flesh from them.
Even though her backpack was empty, she still attracted a lot of attention as she moved through the city.
Many survivors' clothes were either not worn in time due to the earthquake and tsunami, or were torn while trying to escape the earthquake and tsunami, with the cotton wadding inside spilling out.
Lin Ruo naturally sensed the unfriendly gazes of these people. She narrowed her eyes slightly and a blade of ice appeared in her hand.
Upon learning of her identity as a superhuman, those people immediately shifted their attention; even the best cotton-padded clothes are useless if you're not alive to wear them.
Lin Ruo's mental energy found another level-one mutated beast that had been smashed to death. She walked over quickly, her eyes flashing with blue light, and a huge icy hand moved all the stones that had smashed on it away.
Then she saw the animal underground. A mutated crocodile was lying in the rubble. Its entire body had been smashed flat, and its flesh was frozen to the ground. Only the crystal core was intact.
Lin Ruo picked up the crystal core, washed it clean with a stream of water, and put it into her backpack.
The survivors who had become much more subdued looked at the backpack with renewed fervor, even bordering on madness, upon seeing this scene.
