After organizing the system space, Lin Ruo looked up and saw that the sky outside was completely dark, with only slivers of moonlight shining through. She then looked at the clock and saw that it was already 12 o'clock. Finally, it was time to take action.
When Lin Ruo changed her clothes and walked out of the fortress, only Lao Bai was left to guard the house; A Fu and the others had already eaten their fill and gone out hunting.
Ever since A-Liu upgraded and became smaller, it seems to have unlocked some special hobby. Every time, it either goes hunting with A-Fu and A-Shou, or tames these mutated beasts on this mountain with A-Lu.
While everyone was busy, Old Bai diligently stood at the fortress gate every day. After upgrading to level 5, Old Bai's abilities also improved. His crystal core would glow every once in a while, and the energy of the surrounding mutated plants would increase rapidly because of this light. The level 3 mutated trees in the forest had already been upgraded to level 4.
She walked over to Lao Bai, whose branches drooped down and reached out to Lin Ruo, gently brushing against her hand. She lightly touched the short leaves on Lao Bai's branches. "Lao Bai, I'm going out for a bit. When A Liu and the others come back, you can explain it to them."
Old White's branch tapped gently, responding to Lin Ruo's words.
She poured a lot of lake water into the roots of the old tree before patting its trunk and saying, "Thank you for your hard work."
A mist quickly condensed around Lin Ruo. After the mist dissipated, Lin Ruo transformed into a mutated peregrine falcon and flew rapidly into the sky.
A crescent moon hung in the sky, its soft light bathing the earth. Lin Ruo, bathed in this moonlight, spread her wings and swiftly glided across the sky. In just over ten minutes, she arrived above the western mountain peak, and her spiritual power rapidly spread downwards.
She had never been to this western mountain before, and she was surprised to find that there were quite a few survivors living there. There weren't many mutated plants and animals on it, and even the waterway connecting to the main peak was very narrow, making it quite suitable for human habitation.
Moreover, living here means being free from the control of the two major bases in City B. Many cannibalistic groups live here, and some have even built rows of houses on the ground, seemingly intending to stay permanently.
In addition, there are also some superhumans who have been wanted by the two major bases and live on this mountain.
It can be said that most of the people living on this mountain are evil, and the Qi family is currently living in a cave on this mountain.
Lin Ruo controlled her mimicry to fly around the western mountain peak. Her mental power quickly located the Qi family's cave. She added a layer of invisibility water film to her body, then removed the mimicry and quickly descended. Her intended landing point was at the entrance of the Qi family's cave.
She landed gently on the ground without making a sound, then used teleportation to reappear inside the cave.
The cave wasn't very big. Torches were lit around it for illumination, making it dimly lit and quite hot. As Lin Ruo walked inside, he quickly probed the interior with his spiritual power. Many of the Qi family's ability users were sitting on sleeping bags, some lying there with their eyes closed, and others eating the dry rations in their hands.
Lin Ruo noticed that the dry rations in their hands were not refined flour, but all coarse grains. It seemed that the Qi family was not very wealthy, and even these superhumans were eating so poorly.
She scanned the area with her mental energy and discovered that there were no wood-type ability users among these ability users. She suddenly remembered that she had killed the most wood-type ability users from the Qi family in that battle, and couldn't help but touch her nose. Had she killed them all? That was far too few.
In the darkest part of the innermost area, there were several small tents set up. Lin Ruo thought that this was probably where the head of the Qi family lived.
A mental scan revealed the man who had fought Chen Yu earlier, along with a middle-aged man, inside a tent. This middle-aged man was the one who had ordered the Qi family's ability users to retreat; he was likely the head of the Qi family.
"Young Master, the people we sent to the eastern peak haven't returned yet. I'm afraid they're probably dead." A spatial ability user whispered to Qi Chengkai as he handed him food.
Qi Chengkai took the steamed bun, took a bite with a sinister look in his eyes, and said, "No rush, we have plenty of time."
Standing in the cave, Lin Ruo raised an eyebrow. "There's plenty of time? No, you've already entered the countdown."
