The surrounding waters shimmered under the moonlight, and deep within the trees atop the island-like mountain stood a massive fortress, its interior illuminated by lights.
Lin Ruo was doing physical training in the training room. The front and back of her short-sleeved shirt were completely soaked, and sweat dripped down her face and onto the ground.
This was because Lin Ruo had caught quite a few level 2 mutated beasts last time, and since the weather outside was hot, she didn't want to go out and stayed at home obediently for half a month.
Aside from checking the water level at the foot of the mountain every two days and keeping an eye on the growth of the mutated plants on the mountain, she spent the rest of her time either cultivating spatial energy or researching the crystal energy gun.
The forests near Linruo Fortress are now overgrown with sawgrass. To prevent it from spreading into her firebreak, she has sprinkled plant-based inhibitor powder around the firebreak.
The water level at the foot of the mountain has exceeded 10 meters, and the width of the water between the two peaks has exceeded 100 meters. Linruo Mountain can now be considered a small island.
Given the extremely high temperatures and the experience of the previous wildfire, both the B City base and the Qiyuan base chose to expand the firebreaks around their respective locations to avoid being affected in the future.
The firebreak has expanded to 10 kilometers. In the past two weeks, a fire has also broken out in the forests of the main peak, but the two bases have not sent transport planes to fight the fire, leaving it to burn.
Even Lin Ruo, who lived in the fortress every day, could see the towering flames and black smoke. This fire burned for three whole days before it gradually died down.
Meanwhile, the B City base strengthened its defenses. The superhumans in the base took turns guarding the city walls every day, and each high-ranking officer was equipped with a crystal energy gun, ready to fight at any time to prevent the mutated beasts in the forest from rioting and attacking the base again.
When the wildfire broke out, the mutated beasts also fled to the firebreaks of the two bases, but they were driven out by superpowers and artillery fire and had nowhere to go but to keep fleeing to places far away from the wildfire.
Even though there is water between the main peak and other peaks, many mutated animals still jump into the water and swim to other peaks to escape.
A large number of mutated beasts jumped into the water. Naturally, the mutated beasts in the water would not let such a good opportunity pass by. Many mutated beasts were attacked by the mutated beasts in the water and sank to the bottom of the water forever.
Linruo Mountain was no exception; many mutated beasts migrated there, causing a sharp increase in the number of mutated beasts on Linruo Mountain.
Fortunately, the mountain was quite large, and Lin Ruo's fortress was well-hidden, so the mutated beasts couldn't easily find it.
Even if a few mutated beasts discovered the fortress, they became food for the vast swaths of sawgrass and mutated plants outside.
Because of the arrival of these mutated animals, Linruo Mountain became much more lively and relatively safer. Where there are many mutated plants and animals, there are fewer humans, and the survivors will not come to their deaths.
Three hours later, Lin Ruo put down the stone block in her hand, panting heavily. Her water-based superpowers had already been activated, relieving her fatigue and heat.
Only Lin Ruo and A Liu remained in the fortress; A Fu and A Shou had already gone out hunting. They no longer needed to go to the opposite mountain peak to hunt, making them much safer.
Lin Ruo went into the bathroom, took off the sweatband on her forehead and her clothes, threw them into the washing machine, and took a comfortable shower.
As she walked out, she gently shook her wet hair, which dried instantly.
She slumped onto the sofa, which, apart from the fabric cushions and pillows, was entirely made of black jade crystal. Leaning against the slightly chilly black jade crystal backrest, Lin Ruo sighed comfortably.
She took out a box of ice cream from her spatial storage and ate it while watching Ah Fu, Ah Shou, and Ah Liu playfully fighting outside. Ah Shou noticed that Lin Ruo was eating alone and rushed in at lightning speed, almost knocking the door Lin Ruo was sitting on flying.
"Waaah..." Ah Shou lay on the ground at Lin Ruo's feet, whimpering, wanting ice cream.
Lin Ruo looked at the constantly swaying screen door, then at the giant beast that was much taller than her sitting position, and sighed deeply. Luckily, this fortress was made of black jade crystal, otherwise it wouldn't have been enough for them to dismantle.
She couldn't keep the ice cream bar she'd barely eaten, so she gave half to Ah Shou and half to Ah Fu, and then took out another ice cream cone from her spatial storage to eat herself.
Actually, she still has a lot of milk and cream in her space, so she'll try making some ice cream herself next time.
It was already 2 a.m., the coldest time of the day. The air conditioning was still on in the fortress. Lin Ruo looked at the thermometer in the room: 35 degrees Celsius.
"ah!"
Just then, a scream came from outside the fortress.
A flash of white light appeared in Lin Ruo's eyes, and she instantly disappeared from her original spot, appearing in front of the forest that concealed the fortress. Hearing the screams coming from the forest, she stepped into the forest.
Five tall, muscular men, dressed in sun-protective clothing and wearing masks, were struggling in a large patch of sawgrass. They were covered in cuts from the sharp leaves of the sawgrass, their clothes were stained with blood, and there was a lot of blood on the ground.
When they first stepped into the grass, nothing happened. But when they reached the middle of the forest, their feet were suddenly cut by the leaves under their feet. Before they could even figure out what was cutting them, both of their ankles were severed by the leaves, making it impossible for them to move.
In a short while, these people had more and more wounds, and large patches of blood were splattered on the ground, making the surrounding area extremely smelly of blood.
"Boss, this place is full of mutated grass, what do we do?!"
"Run! Even if it means getting your legs cut off, you have to get out of this grassland!"
"Damn it! We finally made it to the vicinity of the B City base, and then we run into these mutated grasses. This is the worst luck imaginable! It hurts like hell!"
