In the air, she scanned the area with her mental energy and found that the situation in City C was much worse than that in the base in City B. Although both were coastal cities, the people here lived in such hardship. The disaster that had just occurred on that mountain peak was still vivid in her mind. Those ordinary survivors were living in such an environment, enduring the test of life every day.
She controlled the mimic and circled around City C for a long time before finally discovering a large number of superhumans on the farthest, larger mountain. Occasionally, helicopters, just like before, would fly overhead, indicating that the Pharmaceutical Research Association was located on this mountain.
Lin Ruo quickly flew to the sky above the mountain peak, and the water molecules on her body quickly dissipated, restoring her to her original appearance. She unfolded her spatial domain, and in the next instant, she had already landed on the tree trunk of a mutated tree.
Although the mutated tree couldn't see Lin Ruo, it could sense something on its branches, and the branches quickly wrapped around Lin Ruo.
Lin Ruo unleashed her mental power, confirmed that no one was around, and without even turning her head, grabbed the branch that was being extended towards her. Her powerful water-based ability quickly activated, and the level 3 mutated tree, which had been withered when it was first erected, was completely unable to resist or struggle.
Lin Ruo put the extracted essence and the withered tree into his spatial domain, which instantly expanded and disappeared from the spot in the next moment.
She teleported rapidly, maximizing her mental power, and discovered that several large organizations were located on the central cluster of buildings on the mountain.
Following the helicopters, Lin Ruo quickly appeared in front of the largest building complex. Standing within the firebreak of nearly 10 kilometers around the complex, Lin Ruo examined the huge inscription on the city wall. Lin Ruo raised an eyebrow slightly. This was actually the C City base. So the Pharmaceutical Research Association was located in the C City base.
The exterior architecture of this City C base is quite different from other bases. Other bases either use stone or metal condensed by metal ability users to make the outer walls of this base.
The base in City C used the same alloy material that had previously been used to cut the willow branches. Lin Ruo had stopped paying attention to the two helicopters after storing them in his spatial storage, so he didn't know which was stronger, the alloy material or the metal condensed by the metal ability user.
However, these alloy materials gave the C City base a high-tech feel. The buildings inside were all high-rise buildings, and with the helicopters constantly coming and going, Lin Ruo felt like he had stepped into a science fiction movie.
Her eyes flickered slightly, and without hesitation, she teleported several times and entered the C City base. Once inside, Lin Ruo discovered a problem.
There don't seem to be many people in this city, probably only a few hundred thousand. The base is divided into above-ground and underground buildings.
She moved through these buildings, her mental energy at its maximum range. She discovered that the people working and living in these buildings all possessed a faint aura. They were either long-trained soldiers or people with martial arts skills. Even the number of superhumans in this city was more than in other places, numbering in the thousands.
Lin Ruo walked around the base. Just looking at the ground base, it didn't look like a city from the outside. Instead, it looked like a military camp, full of strong men and women supported by armed forces.
As for ordinary women, children, and the elderly, they all live underground. The number of elderly people among them is very small and can be basically ignored.
The people in the underground base lived a very comfortable life, especially the women and children. Although they were still somewhat disheveled, they were all of normal size and did not seem to be excessively hungry.
Although the elderly people were a bit thin, they were still in relatively good spirits.
Lin Ruo observed that they were eating coarse grains that were unaffordable in other bases. Here, they could eat their fill and stay warm without worrying about harm from the outside world. They could live peacefully.
Lin Ruo accidentally discovered a row of houses in the underground base. When she scanned them with her mental energy, she was shocked to find that there were 10 men standing in one row and 10 women standing in another row.
The two parties were choosing, and if they found someone they liked, they would take hands and leave, then go into another house to do some unspeakable things.
The remaining single men and women who didn't like any of the other singles simply left without being forced. Could this be considered a disguised "blind date"?
Lin Ruo thought of the women with prominent bellies she had seen before; they must all be pregnant like that. Was the C City base trying to accelerate human reproduction?
And these women who are pregnant will have an even higher quality of life. They eat refined grains and occasionally consume some fruits and vegetables.
This is quite a good life for others. Lin Ruo didn't see a trace of resistance on these women's faces. On the contrary, she felt a little happy. After thinking about it, Lin Ruo could understand. They had indeed sacrificed some things, but they gained a stable life.
In terms of safety, there are superhumans and warriors protecting them from the ground bases outside. In terms of living conditions, although it can't compare to before the apocalypse, it is indeed the best level that the C City base can provide.
Lin Ruo also saw a series of nurseries, each containing twenty babies. At that moment, a person in a white coat was carrying the babies into a machine. Lin Ruo recognized the machine; it was an energy converter invented by the B City base. So, this person was awakening superpowers in these children.
Looking at the children who were raised separately, Lin Ruo understood. Was this a selection process conducted from the beginning, with the children being raised in different directions?
But isn't it harmful to awaken superpowers in children at such a young age? Thinking of the cannibalistic post-apocalyptic environment outside, Lin Ruo felt that this approach might not be so wrong.
Lin Ruo took a deep breath, turned around and left. Perhaps this was the way to adapt to the apocalypse.
Regardless, the C City base provided these women, children, and the elderly with a way to survive, which was far better than the survivors outside who were chased by mutated plants and animals or burned to death in fires.
From this perspective, it seems that the authorities in charge of the C City base still have some compassion.
She kept moving, quickly traversing this technologically advanced city, and soon saw the name of the Pharmaceutical Research Association in the center of the city.
The Pharmaceutical Research Association building is sixteen stories high, and its exterior is entirely made of alloy materials. There is a constant flow of people at the entrance of the building, and these people all have work ID cards in their hands to swipe and open the door of the building.
Lin Ruo first scanned the building with his mental energy. The building had 16 floors above ground and two underground floors of super-large warehouses, all of which were filled with various kinds of medicines.
When she saw the medicine, her eyes lit up. She had found her target. But instead of going directly to the warehouse to get the medicine, she followed the people into the Pharmaceutical Research Association building.
