Lin Ruo frowned slightly at the sight of the large group of mutated underwater beasts. He detected with his spiritual power that it was a small school of mutated barracudas, containing several hundred of them. Each of these mutated barracudas was several meters long, with barbs on their dorsal fins and sharp teeth in their mouths, making them look terrifying.
As they drew closer to her, and just before their lifeboat was about to touch her, Lin Ruo unleashed her water-based superpower. The gentle current of water transformed into sharp swords, easily slicing through the bodies of the barracudas. Large swathes of blood flowed out, staining the entire body of water red.
Immediately, many more mutated beasts swam towards this side from underwater.
Lin Ruo stored all the mutated barracudas she had killed into her spatial storage. By then, the boat had reached the shore. She jumped ashore, stored the lifeboat into her spatial storage, and frowned slightly as she watched the huge mutated beasts swim over and begin to fight each other in the blood-red water.
It's only been four months since the extreme heat started, and there are already so many mutated beasts. What will the water look like when all the glaciers in the North and South Poles melt?
Lin Ruo shook her head, no longer dwelling on those images. She turned and took out the truck from her spatial storage, then drove towards the B City base.
Along the way, they encountered many survivors. Some people saw that there was only one woman in the truck and wanted to go up and try their skills, but they were all held back by the people around them.
"What are you doing!" The man angrily shook off the hand of the person next to him.
The person next to him rolled their eyes. "If it weren't for the fact that I'm supposed to help you kill the mutated beast, do you think I'd be happy to save you?" they thought. "Are you out of your mind?! This is that ice-type ability user! You're going to rob her? Are you offering yourself up as food?"
The person who was just a little dissatisfied immediately changed his expression, his face full of lingering fear, he had just almost lost his life.
The person next to him sneered, ignored him, and continued walking forward. The man quickly caught up with him and thanked him.
Lin Ruo was unaware of this little incident. She hadn't encountered any robbery survivors along the way, and she was still marveling at how these people had all changed their ways. Even in the apocalypse, no one bothered her despite her flamboyant behavior.
They didn't encounter any highway robbers on the road, but they did encounter quite a few mutated beasts that tried to rob them. Lin Ruo didn't even get out of the car; he simply sent them away with an ice blade. Then, a huge ice hand grabbed the dead mutated beasts and put them in the back of the car. The back of the car was relatively small, and then, using the back of the car as cover, he put the mutated beasts into his spatial storage.
More than an hour later, Lin Ruo drove to the outskirts of the B City base. Zhao Hui and Li Wei were already waiting there. Seeing their posture, Lin Ruo's eyes lit up. Did they have news?
After parking her car, she quickly jumped out and walked over to ask, "Is there any news?"
"Yes, we just confirmed a couple of days ago that the woman you're looking for has been found. She's currently at the Xuanfeng Base. However, they know you're looking for her, so they've locked her in a cage at the base gate and said they'll only sell her if there's a suitable price. Judging from their accents, these people came from out of town. They also said it took a lot of effort to bring her here."
Li Wei recounted everything he had seen truthfully. Seeing Lin Ruo's eyes light up, seemingly not taking his subsequent words to heart at all, he couldn't help but remind her, "That Xuanfeng Base looks eerie. I always feel that the people in that base have a strange aura about them. I'm afraid they might set a trap for you, so you should be careful."
Lin Ruo blinked slightly, waiting for the trap to be set for her. She had heard that the base chief of Xuanfeng Base was a level 3 ability user, so it seemed that she had found a test subject for her drug.
"Thank you, I understand."
Standing on the city wall, Jiang Yue watched Lin Ruo talking with Zhao Hui and the others, and knew that they had already told Lin Ruo the news.
He sighed softly. They were still a step too late. By the time he learned of this news, Li Wei had already set off for the Xuanfeng Base. It seemed that they were destined to have no hope of receiving this favor.
Having obtained the information she wanted, Lin Ruo turned back to the truck and, under the cover of the truck, took out 25 crystal cores from her spatial storage. This was Fang Ling's share of the reward.
She handed the crystal cores to Li Wei, saying, "This is one part of the payment. I will pay the other 25 when I find another person."
Li Wei didn't stand on ceremony with Lin Ruo. They also needed to pay the person who provided the intelligence, so they directly accepted the crystal core, saying, "We will be careful."
Then Lin Ruo asked, "By the way, how do I get to the Xuanfeng Base?"
Li Wei seemed to have anticipated Lin Ruo's question, chuckled twice, and said, "I knew you probably wouldn't know the way, so I specially drew a map for you. I was going to give it to you just now, but your crystal core dazzled my eyes."
Lin Ruo also smiled slightly, took the map from Li Wei, and said, "Thanks!"
After saying that, she quickly turned around, got back into the car, and the truck sped away.
Seeing Lin Ruo leave, Zhao Hui looked at Li Wei with some worry, "Brother Li, do you think Sister Ruo is in danger this time?"
Li Wei lowered his head, touched his nose, patted Zhao Hui's shoulder, and said in a serious tone, "You should be worried about the people on the other side."
Zhao Hui "..."
