"I will continue to hunt down the Qi family."
Ye Lin was slightly surprised by her calm tone. He had originally thought that she had gotten involved in the battle today for the crystal cores of the Qi family's ability users. It seemed that she had some grudges with the Qi family that they were unaware of.
"Can I ask why?" Ye Lin was genuinely curious. Having known Lin Ruo for so long, it seemed that she had only ever been so persistent with those two enemies, the man and the woman. What exactly did the Qi family do to offend her?
Lin Ruo merely brushed her hand across her backpack. Naturally, she couldn't admit that she had killed Qi Chengtian before. Instead, she shifted the focus to today, saying, "Today at the B City base, I killed three Qi family members with superpowers. Moreover, during the battle just now, I killed so many Qi family members in full view of everyone. The Qi family will definitely not let this go. Since we are destined to be enemies, we might as well resolve this matter sooner rather than later, to avoid any unforeseen complications."
Ye Lin clearly did not doubt her statement, but he still pondered for a moment and said, "There are many strange things about the Qi family. The entire Qi family are all people with superpowers. You should know that becoming a person with superpowers initially involves a lot of luck. This matter is somewhat unbelievable, and there may be some inside story that we do not know."
"We let them go today because the Qi family, together with other forces, has joined forces with the Qiyuan Base to target our base. We don't know their purpose or what allies they have behind them."
"Therefore, I would like to ask you not to cause trouble for the Qi family for now. After we understand the inside story, you can do whatever you want with the Qi family. Perhaps you won't even need to lift a finger, as the Qi family will have already been completely wiped out."
"As for the losses caused by making you wait for so long, we can compensate you in other ways. Is that alright with you?"
Lin Ruo certainly wanted to know the secret behind the Qi family's entire population of superhumans, but that wasn't enough to justify her waiting so long to deal with the Qi family.
If we follow her advice, arresting everyone in the Qi family and interrogating them one by one with torture would be far better than anything else. Why bother with such a grand scheme? As for the Qiyuan Base and other forces, Yang Songming will be staying at the Qiyuan Base every day; we can just kill them all.
After a long silence, Lin Ruo did not voice her thoughts. She had her own way of doing things, and Ye Lin had his own. They had the entire base behind them, and they always thought more than she, a lone individual.
Thinking of the remaining superhumans when the Qi family left, Lin Ruo's mental energy only detected a few useful superhuman attributes among them, so killing them sooner or later didn't really make much difference. As for the Qi family's martial arts, she could wait for another opportunity.
"What kind of compensation?" Lin Ruo thought about the superpower crystal core in her backpack. She was already certain that the compensation was most likely superpower crystal cores. In their minds, she should be in dire need of superpower crystal cores.
Ye Lin pondered for a moment, "We can compensate you with another 50 superpower crystals later."
“I can only promise not to provoke them for the time being,” Lin Ruo thought for a moment and then added, “If they come to kill me, I will make sure that they never leave alive.”
Ye Lin laughed, "Of course, if someone comes knocking on your door, you have to fight back."
Then Ye Lin took out a smartwatch-like device from the drawer of the coffee table and handed it to Lin Ruo, saying, "This is a new communication terminal developed by our base. We can use this to contact each other later, and we will provide you with the Qi family's location coordinates."
Lin Ruo looked at the machine in Ye Lin's hand. She didn't want these things before because she didn't want the location of her fortress to be exposed. Now that her fortress has already been discovered by the B City base, it doesn't matter if she has this thing with her.
Despite thinking this, she still used her mental energy to carefully scan the machine to make sure there were no cameras or listening devices on it before taking it.
"Okay, this is one of my rewards for not touching the Qi family for now."
Ye Lin knew she didn't like owing favors, so he just smiled and nodded. This thing wasn't expensive at all, and as long as she accepted it, he was fine with whatever it took. With this thing, they could contact Lin Ruo at any time, which would be very beneficial for their base.
"Here are the contact information for me, Chen Yu, and Jiang Yue. If you need anything, you can contact us anytime. You can also ask us about the progress of the Qi family matter."
Lin Ruo stared intently at Ye Lin. He spoke frankly and openly, but she always had the feeling that his evil scheme had succeeded.
Lin Ruo glanced at the watch, then put it into the backpack behind her. "Okay."
When Lin Ruo emerged from the underground base, the sky was already ablaze with color. It was only 4:30 PM, and the air temperature was slowly rising. Lin Ruo's pores instantly opened, and sweat beaded on her forehead. She used her water-based powers to regulate her body temperature.
Lin Ruo looked at the horizon. The sun was rising earlier every day. Before, the red glow would appear around five o'clock, but now it was up to four-thirty.
Thinking of the extremely hot period in the latter half of her previous life, she frowned slightly.
"No, I have to get home quickly, the temperature seems to be rising again."
There were still many people coming and going on the streets of the B City base, and many vendors were packing up their goods. Lin Ruo moved extremely fast, like a black ghost moving through the B City base.
"You've mistaken me for someone else, I don't know you."
"Let her go!"
Two familiar voices made Lin Ruo suddenly stop in her tracks. She stood in the shadows behind the building and looked up at the place where the voices had come from.
Two groups of people were facing off in front of them. One group consisted of Lin Ruo's acquaintances, led by Li Wei and Zhao Hui. The other group included several people with superpowers, all of whom were carrying guns. The leader of the superpowered individuals was currently holding a woman who was struggling. This woman was Qian Li, whom Lin Ruo had not seen for a long time.
Qian Li frowned and looked at the man next to her. "Sir, you've mistaken me for someone else. My surname isn't Jiang."
She was just out selling something when this superhuman mistook her for someone else. These people were all superhumans, and Li Wei and his group would definitely not come out on good terms if they clashed with them. So she explained to the man in a polite manner, hoping he would let her off the hook.
Li Wei's face was grim. He took a few steps forward and shouted, "Let go of my wife!"
