The night was shrouded in mist, and moonlight shone through the thick clouds in the sky, falling onto the ground.
After making up her mind, Lin Ruo turned around and returned to the fortress with A Fu and Ashou. A Liu's willow branch and Lao Bai's tree branch also followed into the fortress.
Lin Ruo turned and went to the bathroom to wash up. Afu and the other three waited obediently in the dining room. Old Bai's branches also skillfully took up a spot around the dining room, swaying gently as they waited for the meal to begin.
After a month and a half of adjustment, Lao Bai has fully adapted to life in the fortress, becoming close with the other three, and his appetite is also increasing day by day.
Lin Ruo analyzed that Lao Bai was probably embarrassed at first, so he only ate a little bit each time. Later, he found that Lin Ruo didn't seem to care about this little bit of flesh and blood, so he gradually became bolder and now eats more than A Liu at each meal.
A-Liu waited by Lao Bai's side. With Lao Bai joining their household, A-Liu felt much more at ease.
Old Bai lived for a long time, and his consciousness resembled that of an elder, so he would naturally share Ah Liu's responsibilities.
Old Bai is kind and tolerant, so he is prone to kindness. The mutated tiger cub that Lin Ruo encountered once wandered into Lin Ruo's mutated forest. When the mutated plants tied up the tiger cub and tried to eat it, Old Bai stretched out a branch and rescued the tiger cub.
Because of this incident, Lao Bai was lectured by A Liu for a long time. A Liu wouldn't allow the mutated plants in the forest to act out of kindness. Anyone or any animal that wandered in was treated as food unless the owner had asked them to be let go. What if the person or animal they let in had bad intentions? Wouldn't the owner be in danger then?!
Lin Ruo also knew about A Liu's education of Lao Bai. She thought A Liu was right. Lao Bai had always lived in the deep mountains and had never seen what the post-apocalyptic world looked like. He had no sense of vigilance towards these creatures.
In this apocalyptic world, no one is absolutely good or bad. Someone may be a good person to you today, but tomorrow, driven by self-interest, they might come to kill you.
Finally, A-Liu decided to stop feeding Lao Bai meat for a day. Every time Lao Bai ate, A-Liu would deliberately bring the meat to Lao Bai and tempt him. Lao Bai could only look but not eat. This time, Lao Bai clearly felt the wickedness of the willow tree.
To ensure his own food supply, Old Bai never saved another animal.
But because of Lao Bai, the mutated plants in the forest stopped bothering the little tiger. The little tiger also sensed this, and it is now a regular visitor to the mutated forest. Whenever a mutated animal chases it, it is no match for it and will directly escape to this mutated forest.
The phrase "the fox borrows the tiger's might" is perfectly exemplified by this.
When Lin Ruo came out of the bathroom, she saw that her four big eaters were already squatting there waiting for dinner. She scratched her forehead and began to prepare dinner for them.
A whole level 3 mutated sea beast and five large watermelons produced in the space were prepared for A-Liu and Lao-Bai. They were placed outside the door under their tree roots. A-Liu and Lao-Bai quickly stretched out their branches and began to enjoy the food.
Meanwhile, Afu and Ashou's food bowls were already enormous, with a diameter exceeding 2.5 meters. Every time, Lin Ruo had to pile the meat in these bowls into small mountains so that they could eat their fill, not even counting the supplementary fruits and other foods.
Ah Fu and Ah Shou are now over 10 meters tall, with a shoulder height of 6 meters. This doesn't even include their huge heads, which are taller than Lin Ruo's. It's normal that they eat a lot.
After preparing dinner for them, Lin Ruo returned to the training room to train. She had recently developed a new training method: using her spatial domain to alter the gravity around her, multiplying the surrounding gravity. Practicing boxing in this environment would not only quickly deplete her physical strength but also accelerate the consumption of her special abilities.
With a thought, Lin Ruo's spatial domain enveloped the entire training room. This time, she adjusted the gravity to four times the normal level, instantly increasing the surrounding pressure. Lin Ruo slowly raised her hand to feel it, finding it slightly more comfortable than yesterday. Then, she assumed a stance and began practicing two sets of boxing techniques.
Each move she made required four times the energy to complete, and in less than two hours, her physical strength and superpowers were completely depleted.
Covered in sweat, Lin Ruo withdrew her spatial domain, releasing the fourfold gravity. She removed the black jade wristband she was wearing, and the heavy black jade crystal collided with the ground with a muffled "bang." Exhausted, Lin Ruo sat down on the ground.
Her water-based powers circulated rapidly throughout her body, and the warm water helped relieve her fatigue and some of her damaged muscles.
A moment later, she took out several crystal cores and began to restore her powers.
Two hours later, her superpowers were restored, and even slightly stronger than before. Lin Ruo was happy. Although A Liu and Lao Bai could help her with her cultivation, she could not neglect her own daily cultivation. Although the increase was small, it was quite considerable over time.
She stood up and went back into the bathroom. After taking a shower, she still had to go to the base in City B. She was a little rushed today.
She quickly took a shower and changed into a heat-resistant suit before coming out.
After finishing their meal, Afu and Ashou were about to go hunting, but when they saw Lin Ruo's clothes, they knew she was going out. They quickly stood up, their big ears perked up, and stared at Lin Ruo.
Lin Ruo understood. They wanted to go to the main peak for a visit. On their own mountain, Afu and Ashou killed mutated animals for training purposes. They never killed them directly. They would train them with the mutated beasts for a long time before killing them and bringing them back. But going to the main peak was different. They could fight the mutated animals there to their heart's content.
So she went outside and waved to them. Afu and Ashou immediately darted over. Lin Ruo turned and flipped, nimbly jumping onto Ashou's back.
Lin Ruo didn't forget to tell A Liu, "A Liu, take good care of the house. We'll be back soon."
Ah Liu's willow branch swayed gently, as if waving goodbye. Then, another branch was added next to this willow branch, making the same gesture as Ah Liu.
Lin Ruo chuckled. The two of them really did look like windshield wipers on a car.
A-Liu seemed to sense that Lin Ruo was laughing at them. She quickly slapped the old white tree branch with her willow branch and then withdrew it.
Old Bai was a little confused. Why was it being beaten? Wasn't it also saying goodbye to its owner?
Lin Ruo patted Ah Shou's neck, "Let's go to the B City base."
The man and two dogs quickly disappeared into the mutated forest. A group of mutated plants waved goodbye to them, and a little tiger tilted its head, watching Lin Ruo and the others' backs.
