Under the cover of night, the city walls surrounding the B City base were all lit up. By the brightness of those lights, Lin Ruo could see Jiang Yue's tanned and flaky face, with his white teeth standing out prominently.
Lin Ruo raised an eyebrow, wondering why Jiang Yue had come to see her, but said aloud, "What do you want? Why are you in such a hurry to give me the crystal energy cannon?"
"You're here to get the Crystal Energy Cannon?" Jiang Yue was a man of his word. He could guess Lin Ruo's purpose for coming. She must be here to get the Crystal Energy Cannon, otherwise Lin Ruo wouldn't have brought it up for no reason.
Lin Ruo nodded, "I heard that the crystal energy cannon in the base is finished, and I'll take the other half of my reward."
Jiang Yue suddenly remembered Lin Ruo's informants. They had been searching, but had only found a few informants from Qiyuan Base and other organizations. However, none of these people had anything to do with Lin Ruo. Were they too stupid, or were Lin Ruo's informants too well hidden, able to leak information to Lin Ruo even under such close surveillance?
Jiang Yue's mind raced with thoughts, but he waved to the soldier beside him. The soldier quickly ran over, and Jiang Yue pointed to Lin Ruo's truck, "Drive Sister Ruo's truck to the warehouse over at the lab. Just say that Sister Ruo has come to pick up something, and someone will take over. Go."
Lin Ruo did not object, and she did not want to go to the B City base again.
The soldier drove Lin Ruo's truck into the base. At this moment, Jiang Yue smiled and said to Lin Ruo, "I actually came to you before because I wanted to cooperate with you again. You know that the base suffered heavy losses last time the sea monsters came ashore."
"In the end, it took several missiles to drive these sea monsters away. The experts at the base predict that the next heavy rain will come in a month, and the sea monsters will definitely come again then."
"And this time it will be even fiercer and stronger than last time. Are you interested in helping us? We'll pay you!"
Lin Ruo understood Jiang Yue's meaning. He wanted her to help fight these sea monsters. Last time she helped the base because she wanted to get the crystal energy cannon. This time, there was nothing she wanted in the base. The aircraft that the base was researching was useless to her because she had mimicry abilities. It didn't matter whether she had it or not.
She shook her head slightly. "No interest. Your base is perfectly capable of defending against those sea monsters now. Don't you already have crystal energy cannons? Plus, the base is still researching aerial countermeasures. Aren't those mutated sea monsters a piece of cake?"
Jiang Yue was taken aback. Last time she was able to find out about the crystal energy cannon, and this time she found out as soon as they started researching how to install the crystal energy cannon on the transport plane. Only a few of the higher-ups and experimental personnel knew about this. Could Lin Ruo's spy be among them?
He looked at Lin Ruo with a question in his eyes. Lin Ruo knew what his question was, but she didn't say anything, which made him think that having an informant was better than knowing that she would come to their base for a stroll whenever she had nothing to do.
Jiang Yue sighed and looked away. In fact, he knew that it was almost impossible for Lin Ruo to agree. The reason she agreed to cooperate last time was probably because she wanted the crystal energy cannon. If they wanted to cooperate with Lin Ruo, their base had to have something that she was interested in.
Lin Ruo suddenly remembered something and took out a small wooden box from her backpack. She had prepared it beforehand and intended to use it as a sample.
She handed the box to Jiang Yue, saying, "It's up to you whether you want to buy this. If you do, I can give you a 1% discount."
Jiang Yue: "..." What's the difference between a 9.9% discount and no discount at all?
Although he was inwardly complaining, he still took the box. Something that Lin Ruo was willing to sell must be a good thing.
He opened the box, inside which was a green, organ-like object emitting a foul odor. He frowned, closed the box, and looked up at Lin Ruo with a puzzled expression. "You have to tell me what this is."
"This is the venom sac of a mutated carnivorous wasp. I accidentally discovered some of its uses. You can take this and study it. If you want to buy it, we can talk about it next time I come. I have quite a few more."
Jiang Yue nodded and solemnly grasped the wooden box in his hand. Although Lin Ruo did not say what the poison sac was for, it must be very important, otherwise she would not have collected so many.
Just then, Lin Ruo's car drove out, and the driver was surprisingly Chen Yu. The truck's cargo compartment was filled with things, which were covered with black tarpaulins to obstruct the view, making it impossible to see what was inside.
Lin Ruo used her mental energy to scan the vehicle and confirmed that it was a crystal energy cannon. A slight smile appeared in her eyes. After waiting for so long, she had finally obtained this thing.
The car stopped a few meters in front of Lin Ruo and Jiang Yue. Chen Yu jumped out of the car, and when he looked up and saw Lin Ruo, his pupils contracted. How long had it been since he last saw her? She had become stronger again! How did she do that!
Lin Ruo ignored Chen Yu, waved to Jiang Yue, got into her car, and drove away quickly. She couldn't wait to try it out.
After the truck left, Chen Yu was still staring in that direction. Jiang Yue nudged him with his elbow, "What are you looking at? So engrossed?"
Chen Yu lowered his head and sighed softly, "She's gotten stronger again. I've also awakened my superpowers, but the gap between our strengths is widening."
"Heh," Jiang Yue put his fist in front of his mouth to cover his laughter, "It means she's more talented than you, and it also means she works harder than you. There are always some geniuses in this world who are beyond our reach. Comparing yourself to them will only make you lose confidence. Take it easy, brother."
Chen Yu remained silent. He had always been the kind of genius Jiang Yue had described since childhood, and had always been a standout in various martial arts families. But compared to someone like Lin Ruo, he was utterly insignificant.
"By the way, didn't you say your family was coming to our base soon? When will they arrive?" Jiang Yue asked as she pulled Chen Yu into the base.
Their family is a well-known martial arts family in Jiangnan. Their presence at the base will greatly enhance the base's combat strength.
Chen Yu was temporarily relieved from the shock of Lin Ruo by Jiang Yue's question. He shook off Jiang Yue's hand, and a look of worry appeared between his brows. "It will probably take a few more days. There are a lot of waterways along the way. I don't know if they can handle it."
"Your family members are all so capable, how can you not handle this? Don't worry unnecessarily."
Jiang Yue joked as he followed Chen Yu into the base. The weather was so hot and stuffy; it was much cooler in the underground base.
Zhao Hui and Li Wei, standing nearby, exchanged a glance and put aside their curiosity. Something that the captain of the superpower team personally delivered must be extraordinary, and it was best for them, as insignificant figures, to know as little as possible.
Lin Ruo was in a very good mood as she drove. When she was a few kilometers away and the surroundings were completely covered by mutated plants, she stopped the car and put the truck and the crystal energy cannon on it into her space.
Then she shouted into the distance, "Afu and Shou! Time to go home!"
