The boundless snowflakes formed a hazy snow curtain, enveloping the entire earth.
The blizzard had been going on for almost a month, and Lin Ruo had been staying in the fortress for that month, living a self-sufficient life.
She walked out of the restaurant with a satisfied expression on her face. The seafood hot pot she had just eaten was fresh and tender, absolutely delicious.
She enjoyed the seafood meal, but when she took it out of her spatial storage, she noticed the seawater level was decreasing. Although she added a lot of lake water to the seawater, the water level in the pool did not rise.
Thinking of this, she turned around and headed upstairs to the laboratory, instead of walking towards the living room.
Having lived in the fortress for so long, her laboratory had long been filled with many things, including cabinets and utensils made of black jade crystal.
Her lab bench had become quite wide due to the increasing number of instruments she was making. At this moment, she walked to the lab bench and took out two empty black jade beakers from the cabinet next to her.
Once the beakers were placed, Lin Ruo placed her hands on the two beakers respectively, and streams of water slowly appeared in the beakers.
Lin Ruo withdrew her hand when the water was more than half full. This was seawater that Lin Ruo had collected before the apocalypse and seawater after the apocalypse.
During this time, she read through many books that introduced the ocean, which contained detailed analyses of the composition of seawater before the apocalypse.
With this explanation, it became much easier for her to analyze the molecular composition of the seawater using her mental power. However, after scanning the two beakers with her mental power for half an hour, Lin Ruo felt that the molecules in the two types of seawater were the same. She withdrew her mental power, her brows furrowed. The molecules were the same, so why were the results different?
Even though she scanned it with her mental energy again and again, she still couldn't figure out what had increased in the seawater after the apocalypse that caused these mutated animals to mutate.
After such a long period of research, there has been no progress whatsoever. She has tried to use medicine or drops of water from the space lake into the seawater to see if she could dissipate the nameless energy in the seawater, but all attempts have failed.
The water level in the space, which was before the apocalypse, was getting lower and lower over time. Although she could add some lake water to alleviate the situation, she couldn't add too much.
So this problem needs to be solved sooner or later, otherwise she might not have any seafood to eat in a few years.
Lin Ruo suddenly thought of Xu Chenfeng. This person has achieved such great success in the field of pharmaceuticals, so he must have a good understanding of these things.
She put down what she was holding, wanting to ask Xu Chenfeng for some ideas, but asking directly would definitely arouse his suspicion, since he felt that Lin Ruo didn't need to study these things.
Lin Ruo suddenly thought of the mutated fruits in his space that hadn't been exchanged yet, and his eyes lit up. This was the excuse he needed.
Picking up her terminal, she messaged Xu Chenfeng, "I've collected another batch of mutated fruits. Are you still buying them?"
After sending the message, Lin Ruo put the terminal back on the desktop and continued studying the book in his hand, trying to find a breakthrough.
Nearly an hour later, her terminal beeped, receiving a message from Xu Chenfeng.
"Really? That's wonderful. What would Miss Lin like to exchange this time? Would you like us to come and make the transaction?"
Lin Ruo's eyes darted around a few times. Before, because she couldn't produce those potions, she had been thinking of going to the C City base to see their potion production line. However, due to the acid rain and blizzards that followed, she hadn't been able to go to C City. This was a good opportunity.
"I'll go to City C and deliver it to you."
Xu Chenfeng was taken aback when he saw Lin Ruo's reply. He felt that Lin Ruo's attitude was very different from before. The indifferent feeling she had given him before was gone, and she seemed to have become much more proactive. Just now, she had taken the initiative to send him a message. This was the first time he had received such treatment in so long.
He then raised an eyebrow and smiled. Perhaps she had run out of potions. There weren't many potions to begin with, and it was indeed time for them to run out.
"Sure, then I'll trouble you, Miss Lin. When would be a convenient time for you?"
Lin Ruo glanced at the sky outside. On the day of the blizzard, the day and night cycle returned to normal. At her speed, even with the blizzard, a day would be enough for her to make a round trip to City C.
"Tomorrow."
"good."
The next morning, Lin Ruo got out of bed early and spent only an hour doing some simple training. She then focused her mental energy into her spatial dimension and selected dozens of mutated fruits from the static space. She had quite a few of each type of fruit in her space. As for the mutated fruits that she herself only had one of, she naturally wouldn't trade them.
After greeting Ah Liu and the others at home, Lin Ruo flashed into the air. The next second, the surrounding snowflakes quickly enveloped her, and a frigatebird over ten meters long appeared in the air. She flapped her wings twice, and the hurricane formed by her huge wings blew the surrounding snow into disarray.
Lin Ruo ignored all of that, spread her wings, and flew rapidly toward City C.
Her massive body hurtled through the blizzard, her eyes squinting as her vision was completely blocked by the snow. She relied entirely on her mental powers to see.
In this blizzard, it's really easy to get lost. The whole world is silvery white, with no other colors present, making it impossible to tell which way to go. If you even slightly shift your body, you can easily lose your way.
As Lin Ruo flew, he focused his mental energy on the direction indicated by the compass, thinking about the bases he would pass by. In this vast expanse of white snow, only "landmarks" like bases were relatively conspicuous.
However, many of these bases, especially the smaller ones, have been destroyed by acid rain and erased from the map. This makes it even more difficult for Lin Ruo to find her way. When she arrives at a place where there should be a base but can't see it, she doesn't know if she flew in the wrong direction or if the base no longer exists.
Fortunately, Lin Ruo's mental energy range was very large, allowing him to correct his mistakes in time, which prevented him from taking too many detours along the way.
At the same time, she also noticed that at such a distance, she did not see a single trace of green. Although the snow was very thick, the mutated plants were also very large. If they were still there, she should not have been able to see them. If she could not see them, they must have been corroded. This shows how much damage these mutated plants had suffered in the acid rain.
Moreover, Lin Ruo had been using his full mental power throughout the journey, and he only managed to find a few hundred mutated beasts, all of which were hiding in caves and not moving.
Lin Ruo didn't stop at all along the way, using teleportation and high-speed flight in a mimicry mode. Even so, it still took her two and a half hours to reach the area of City C.
