By the time they reached the outside of the fortress, the sun had already risen, and the temperature was rapidly increasing. Lin Ruo put on her heat-resistant clothes, which had just dried, only to have them soaked with sweat again.
When Lin Ruo returned home, she first turned on all the air conditioners and filled all the ice basins with ice before sitting on the sofa to catch her breath. She had done a lot that night.
Afu and Ashou ran to the water basin to drink water, and Lin Ruo also drank a glass of ice water before quickly eating breakfast.
After the meal, Lin Ruo remembered that she had extracted a lot of Du Xueting's essence and special abilities when she killed Du Xueting, as well as that level 3 wood-type crystal core. She wondered if she could help A Liu absorb some of it.
She strode up to A-Liu, who was digesting the hundreds of kilograms of mutated beast meat she had just eaten. When she saw Lin Ruo coming over, Liu Zhi happily fluttered up and ran to Lin Ruo's side to cuddle.
Lin Ruo chuckled and took out the essence she had extracted earlier from her spatial storage, handing it to A Liu.
As soon as this essence appeared, the willow branch that had been rubbing against Lin Ruo straightened up and slowly reached out towards the essence.
At this moment, the mutated plants outside the firebreak also sensed the difference between this essence and the essence in their bodies, much like the difference between a regular beverage and a concentrated liquid.
The plants outside began to stir. Ah Liu sensed it, and the willow branches instantly grew hundreds of meters long, rising into the air and hovering there. Countless willow branches covered this area.
The mutated plants immediately shrank back. Oh well, they couldn't afford to mess with them. They were just unlucky.
Since being transplanted here, their living standards have improved, but compared to the large willow tree in the middle, it's a world of difference.
Not only does it receive plenty of high-quality flesh and blood every day, but it also has sweet-smelling water to drink, and its owner occasionally feeds it essence. It is simply extremely happy!
Ah Liu's willow branch had already eagerly reached into this mass of essence. Lin Ruo kept an eye on the mutated plants around Ah Liu with her spiritual power, fearing that these mutated plants would take advantage of Ah Liu's "eating" to launch a sneak attack.
This ball of essence was only the size of a football, but it contained more than a hundred times the energy. A-Liu absorbed it very slowly, while the entire tree began to grow visibly taller.
Lin Ruo's eyes lit up. Sure enough, the energy of a wood-type ability user was a great tonic for A Liu. Even when A Liu absorbed the essence of that mutated locust tree last time, she didn't grow at this rate.
After A-Liu absorbed the essence, Lin Ruo smiled and took out Du Xueting's crystal core from her space. The green color in the crystal core was so rich that it had become somewhat dark.
Lin Ruo had always known that it was possible to absorb the crystal cores of other ability users of the same attribute, which was why she was able to open the space-type ability user crystal core. Moreover, the energy in these crystal cores was purer, more abundant, and easier to absorb.
In her previous life, she held firm to the belief that these crystal cores were all condensed from the bodies of superhumans and was unwilling to absorb them. In this life, she should also let go of this unnecessary maternal instinct. Why give up when there is a shortcut?
She could choose not to kill for the crystal cores, but she certainly shouldn't waste the crystal cores of those superhumans who offended her and were killed.
The crystal core of the space-type ability user she killed before is still in her space; she figured she could still make use of it.
Having made up her mind, she used her mental energy to enter the space and search through the box. Suddenly, she realized that she had encountered too few wood-type and water-type ability users. These two types of ability users were basically protected by the base and rarely came out to do missions. Even if she did encounter them, given her notorious reputation, these ability users would not easily attack her.
It seems... like I've shot myself in the foot.
Ah Liu poked the crystal core a few times with her willow branch. Lin Ruo withdrew her mental energy from the space, and the willow branch tilted slightly in front of Lin Ruo, unaware of what this thing could do.
Lin Ruo smiled gently, and his powerful mental energy quickly probed into the crystal core, guiding the wood-elemental energy within it and rapidly injecting it into A Liu's body.
Ah Liu's willow branch stiffened, then began to wave wildly, causing the entire willow tree to grow taller again. All the mutated plants around stretched out their branches to check, and when they saw that the already extremely tall willow tree was growing wildly again, they knew that its owner had fed it something good again.
Afu and Ashou also sensed something was wrong and ran out to stand beside Lin Ruo and A Liu, constantly on guard against these mutated plants attacking people.
Until the crystal core turned into a pure, transparent color, A-Liu actually grew another ten meters taller!
Lin Ruo withdrew her spiritual power, placed the crystal core shell in her hand into her spatial storage, and looked at A Liu, whose strength had increased significantly once again, with a clear smile in her eyes.
A Liu's current height has reached 62 meters, and its branches and trunk have also undergone significant changes. Lin Ruo believes that A Liu will be upgraded again in less than half a year!
Meanwhile, at the B City base, Ye Lin and the others received a message from their inside contact at the Qiyuan base.
"Du Xueting is dead?!" Jiang Yue was shocked. Wasn't Du Xueting not said to have participated in this encirclement and suppression? How could she be dead?!
Chen Yu smiled. Although he, as the captain of the superpower team at the B City base, couldn't kill Du Xueting, Lin Ruo didn't have as many concerns as he did. Good riddance! He had wanted to kill her for a long time!
“Lin Ruo is more straightforward than any of us. She never leaves the enemy a way out.” Ye Lin coughed lightly, his smile reaching his eyes.
After his initial shock, Jiang Yue burst into laughter. "This woman was always causing trouble, always trying to kill this person or that person. Now look what happened! She's been turned into a dried-up corpse. Serves her right!"
The thought of that woman still acting all high and mighty even after they captured her and put her in the superhuman prison made his teeth itch!
Ye Lin read the message over and over again, then burned it before saying to them, "We need to find the two people in the portrait as soon as possible. We can't let the people from Qiyuan Base get there first. If they use these two people to cooperate with Lin Ruo, it will be very disadvantageous for us."
