Lin Ruo walked down the steps, which were all made of earth and were dug out directly. After walking down about ten meters, Lin Ruo heard a noisy sound below. When she reached the bottom and turned the corner, she saw the entrance to the underground market below.
Two men with guns stood at the entrance. When they saw someone coming down, they only glanced at them and then paid no more attention.
Lin Ruo walked into the entrance, and the things sold inside were very different from those outside. There were all kinds of guns and ammunition, as well as various well-made weapons, medicines, fuel, seeds, refined rice and flour, vegetables, mutated beast cubs, beautiful women... It was on a completely different level from the market outside.
The lights inside were very bright. Lin Ruo walked directly to the front counter, which was a special counter for recording customers' needs, prepared specifically for customers with special requirements.
It can also be understood as a disguised mission hall, where guests post missions to find items, which are then assigned by the base to the survivor teams to complete. Once the items are found, the guests pay for them on the spot.
However, you need to pay a crystal core as a handling fee to post a task here.
The person registering here was a woman, with a gun holster hanging from her waist. As soon as Lin Ruo stood still, the woman immediately asked, "Is there anything you wish to register, guest?"
Lin Ruo nodded, took out Li Ke's portrait from her backpack, and placed it on the table. "Help me find this person's location. He's in the A City base, alive."
The woman took the portrait. "Is this person a superhuman or a beast tamer?"
Lin Ruo shook her head.
The woman nodded. This task was considered to have a very low risk factor and was easy to complete. "Okay, I can register you. You will need to pay a processing fee of 3 Level 1 Crystal Cores and a task reward of 20 Level 1 Crystal Cores. Do you have any questions?"
Lin Ruo shook his head again and took out three level 1 crystal cores from his backpack and placed them on the table.
The woman carefully put away the crystal core, dutifully recorded the task, and then looked up to hand Lin Ruo a specially made tag with the number 096 written on it.
"This is your transaction token. You can come back in a week and use this token to check the transaction progress. You should have news by then."
Lin Ruo nodded, turned and left. There was nothing of interest to her in this underground market, so she might as well leave as soon as possible. She had already wasted enough time at the A City base.
But after taking a few steps, she suddenly felt someone watching her. She turned her head and saw a familiar face sitting behind a stall. Wasn't this the middle-aged man she had bought fuel from earlier?
He's here too! And the young man who was with him before is right next to him.
When she turned around, the middle-aged man also saw Lin Ruo's eyes. A glint flashed in his eyes, then dimmed. He pretended not to recognize her and turned to greet the guests.
Lin Ruo narrowed her eyes slightly; she had been recognized.
She turned around and continued walking forward as if nothing had happened. These two people couldn't be allowed to live; keeping them would only cause a lot of trouble. Killing these two people was easy, but the people who delivered their goods had all seen her before. Just in case, she had to take them all down.
As she walked forward, she considered whether she should find a place to hide and follow the middle-aged man. Then she felt a little tail following her. The corners of her mouth under her mask slowly curled up. Let him follow. Since he's caught up, none of them can escape.
She walked very slowly. The exit of the underground market was in another place. When Lin Ruo came out of the exit, the man followed her at a distance.
Lin Ruo didn't stop along the way, leading the man left and right until they found an empty alley. The man seemed hesitant, but fearing he would lose them, he still risked following them into the alley.
But as soon as he entered the alley, he felt the hairs on his body stand on end. Something was wrong! Danger was imminent!
He wanted to turn around and leave, but he couldn't move at all. At this moment, Lin Ruo walked in from the other side of the alley. With a thought, she cast a water film around the alley, completely isolating it from the outside world.
"You...you really are a superhuman!"
The young man's face turned red from exertion, and as Lin Ruo drew closer, the sense of danger that sent chills down his spine grew stronger!
This intense feeling made the young man's eyelids twitch; he was utterly powerless to resist this person.
"Long time no see," Lin Ruo said with a smile as she slowly walked up to him. "You guys weren't as smart as you were last time."
The young man was shocked; it turned out this person knew everything!
The smile on Lin Ruo's face slowly disappeared. "How many people in your organization are still alive? Where do they live?"
The young man frowned, realizing why Lin Ruo had grabbed him but hadn't made a move. He figured the information Lin Ruo could reveal might save his life, so he gritted his teeth and refused to say anything.
With a thought, Lin Ruo used his mental energy to crush the young man's right hand inch by inch. The young man's face immediately turned deathly pale, his breathing became rapid and disordered, and then his face stiffened and contorted due to the excessive pain.
He couldn't move his entire body and could only feel his palms being slowly crushed. The excruciating pain almost drove him insane.
The young man's hand was crushed into a pulp in less than half a minute, but not a drop of blood flowed out. This bizarre scene made the young man, who had just gritted his teeth and endured the pain, widen his eyes. What kind of superpower was this that was so strange!
"Will you tell me or not?" Lin Ruo asked again, staring at the young man's face.
The young man opened his mouth; he really didn't want to experience that pain again. He had suffered knife and gunshot wounds over the past twenty years, but this kind of torment was a first for him, and it was just too painful.
