Under such torment, Du Xueting could only endure for a dozen minutes before she could no longer hold on and closed her eyes forever.
In her dying moments, her eyes were filled with regret. Why did she have to provoke such a person! This wasn't human, he was a monster!
After Du Xueting died, Lin Ruo dissipated the water sphere filled with poison and blood. Then, a bright blue light shone from his palm, and two ice blades severed the heads of Du Xueting and Du Xuezhou, who had already become mummies.
The two heads rolled around a few times and came to a stop on the ground, without a trace of blood.
A slight smile played on her lips as she stored the two heads away in her spatial storage. "Sorry, I can't leave them intact."
Having dealt with Du Xueting, Lin Ruo used his mental energy to search the area. Du Xueting was quite wealthy; she had two boxes of crystal cores and several hundred kilograms of grain underground.
"It's great that you can still get something after killing someone."
She collected all the crystal cores and underground food left behind by Du Xueting into her spatial storage before removing the surrounding water film shield and disappearing from the house.
"Something's wrong! Base Commander!"
Yang Songming was discussing the base's internal affairs with Zhu Zhengzhong when a superhuman suddenly rushed in, his eyes filled with fear.
Yang Songming frowned. "What's wrong? Why are you all so flustered? Is this how Du Xueting always teaches you?!"
Mentioning Du Xueting, the fear in the superhuman's eyes deepened. "No... the captain is dead. She died in her own residence."
Yang Songming suddenly stood up, "What!"
When Yang Songming and Zhu Zhengzhong arrived here with the superhumans, they found that there were many superhumans around Du Xueting's house. When they pushed open the door and went in, the first thing they saw was two headless mummies, one of which was strangely black.
If it weren't for the fact that the two mummified corpses were still wearing Du Xueting's and that man's clothes, he would have thought he had made a mistake.
Zhu Zhengzhong looked at the disgusting scene, turned his head and took out a piece of cloth from his pocket to cover his nose. Ever since his face was covered with blood and brain matter last time, he had developed the good habit of carrying a piece of cloth with him.
"What happened?! How did they become like this?!" Yang Songming looked at the superhuman next to him with a bad expression.
"I don't know either. I had something to report to the captain, but no one answered the door when I knocked. When I came in, I saw it..."
The superhuman couldn't continue speaking; the scene was simply too horrific. After the apocalypse, he had seen a great deal and witnessed all sorts of deaths—some with blood flowing everywhere, some with their stomachs ripped open and intestines spilling out—but none of these deaths were as bizarre as the one before him.
Mummified corpses... There are too many stories about this in Z country.
"And the doctor just checked them, there wasn't a single drop of blood left on them!"
"Understood," he nodded, noticing the superhuman's increasingly erratic mood. He then winked at the doctor beside him before saying to the superhuman, "You should go and get some rest."
The doctor took the person with superpowers away.
Immediately, a superhuman in charge of the search came over to report to Yang Songming and Zhu Zhengzhong, "No trace of crystal cores or food was found in the house; they must have all been moved or taken away."
The other superhumans around them exchanged glances and then looked away. They all knew how rich the captain was; he could take a thousand tons of grain with ease. How much of that grain had disappeared?
Yang Songming saw the scheming and greed in their eyes and waved his hand helplessly, "You all go and get busy."
"Yes." These superhumans, each with their own ulterior motives, turned and quickly left.
Only Yang Songming and Zhu Zhengzhong remained in the room.
Zhu Zhengzhong still didn't turn around, and only asked after a moment of silence, "Could it have been done by that ice-type ability user?"
Yang Songming walked to the chair next to him and sat down. His face was gloomy as he said, "It must be her. Du Xueting sent an ability user to kill her today. Du Xueting is dead so quickly. Who else could it be but her?"
"She even took their heads with her. Du Xueting's level 3 crystal core, we spent so much effort and resources cultivating it, what a pity."
"And Du Xueting's crystal cores and food are also gone now. Could it be that she didn't come alone, but brought helpers?!" Zhu Zhengzhong's expression was filled with doubt and uncertainty. Could someone who always travels alone actually have companions?!
“But…” Zhu Zhengzhong was about to turn around, but seeing the two corpses on the ground, he turned back. “But how did they get in? None of the superhumans guarding the door noticed. If they really wanted to kill us, wouldn’t it be even easier than killing Du Xueting?!”
"That's the problem. Fortunately, she didn't target us this time, otherwise we would probably be no different from the corpses on the ground right now."
Yang Songming sighed, his eyes filled with deep apprehension. Such a superhuman was like a knife hanging over his neck, making him constantly uneasy.
Thinking of this, the two of them felt a chill rise from the bottom of their hearts, and mentally crossed out Lin Ruo's name, putting it at the top of their list of people they would never want to mess with.
"Have you found the two people we were looking for last time? Hurry up and find them, and deliver them to her as soon as you find them."
