Once Lin Ruo had sensed the outline of the C City base with her mental energy, she breathed a sigh of relief and looked down at the terminal on her wrist. At least she hadn't wasted too much time on this journey.
The situation on the mountains in City C is similar to that of my own mountain; they are all buried under the blizzard. However, without the mutated plants to adorn them, the once majestic mountains now look as if they are wearing a layer of silvery-white winter clothes, completely hiding themselves inside.
Lin Ruo manipulated the mimicry transformation, changing his appearance from that of a frigatebird to his own, and the water molecules on his body once again transformed into snowflakes and scattered in the sky.
Two enormous wings spread outwards from her shoulder blades, and the ice at their base spread across her clothes, forming a transparent ice armor that completely secured her upper body and fixed the wings on her back, which flapped incessantly behind her.
The entire process took only a few seconds to complete. Lin Ruo's rapidly flying body did not stop, and quickly approached the C City base. Only when he got close did Lin Ruo realize that this C City base was different from the previous one.
The former C City base was made entirely of alloy materials, but these walls are clearly rebuilt using the most common metals condensed by ability users.
She flew quickly to the vicinity of the C City base. Her figure stood out against the white backdrop and quickly attracted the attention of the ability users at the C City base. Xu Chenfeng must have already informed them, because they just stared at her with wide eyes in surprise and did not take any further action.
"This must be Lin Ruo. She actually used her superpowers to fly here!"
"Didn't the pilots who went to the base in City B say that flying in the snow is extremely difficult to control even with instrument scanning? She flew all the way here by herself! She's even more amazing than an airplane!"
"What else? Without the strength, who would dare to challenge a base?"
"I wish I had that kind of strength."
"You're not even a superhuman yet, stop dreaming."
...
The C City base has cleared all the snow inside the city and the surrounding area within 100 meters. To prevent this area from being buried by snow again, a special team is responsible for clearing the snow.
These people completely forgot about their work and looked up at the rapidly approaching figure in the sky, uttering exclamations of wonder.
Lin Ruo was unaware of the psychological impact this scene had on the people below. In her mind, she had already broken free of her disguise and was keeping a low profile.
She manipulated the huge wings on her back to slowly flap them, bringing her to a range of about 100 meters outside the city. She descended rapidly, and her feet slowly touched the ground.
In that instant, the wings on her back were like shattered glass, with countless tiny cracks appearing on them. Then they quickly crumbled and disintegrated, disappearing into the air without even a single ice shard falling to the ground. The people around her were even more astonished by this manipulation technique. Why was it that she could control something that they found difficult so easily?
Lin Ruo landed on the ground, then moved her toes and appeared at the gate of the C City base with lightning speed.
She didn't go straight in. It was more polite to come here to ask questions. She looked at the guards who were still watching her and said slowly, "I made an appointment with the doctor in advance. You can ask him."
Those with superpowers were still immersed in what they had just witnessed. As people with superpowers, they naturally saw more of these scenes than ordinary people. Some of them even lowered their heads in deep thought, as if they had gained some inspiration from it.
They were jolted out of their reverie only when they heard Lin Ruo's voice.
A superhuman stepped out from among them, smiled and raised his hand to Lin Ruo, gesturing for her to follow him. "The doctor has already given instructions. Please come with me."
Lin Ruo nodded and followed the superhuman into the C City base. Her mental energy was constantly spread out, and she was always aware of her surroundings.
Although we're here to make a deal, it's always better to be safe than sorry.
Along the way, they encountered many survivors, many of whom looked unwell, clearly suffering from long-term malnutrition. Lin Ruo was puzzled, remembering that these survivors had previously exuded a vibrant energy. Had the acid rain and blizzard worn away their vitality?
Before long, Lin Ruo realized that she had been wrong.
Recalling what she had seen at the C City base before, she realized that the people active at the ground base were either superhumans or powerful individuals. Now, however, she saw many ordinary survivors whose physical condition was inferior to that of ordinary people. This was clearly inconsistent with the recruitment criteria of the C City base.
After realizing this, Lin Ruo began to consciously or unconsciously observe the surrounding crowd with her mental energy, and sure enough, she discovered many different things.
There are many more survivors here, and these survivors are in a completely different state from the survivors at the C City base. Those survivors were clearly in better condition, and they still had "life" in them. They were also more cheerful than these people who had become somewhat numb.
It seems that due to the previous acid rain, the C City base has received quite a few other survivors who came to seek refuge, probably in order to protect more people and allow more people to survive.
The further Lin Ruo went, the more he could discover with his mental power. For example, the underground base built in City C was now completely exposed to the air.
The soil and rock covering the underground base had been completely corroded by acid rain, and there were still many traces of corrosion on the outer walls around the base.
The most severely corroded part was less than 10 centimeters long, which shows how dangerous it was at the time.
Following the superhuman in front of them, they walked briskly down the street, their feet crunching on the snow. Soon they arrived at the newly built pharmaceutical research institute's experimental building.
At this moment, Xu Chenfeng was already standing at the door with several superhumans waiting. Lin Ruo raised her eyebrows in surprise. Why was it so grand today? They even came to the door to greet her?
When Xu Chenfeng saw Lin Ruo, his eyes lit up. He took a few steps forward and stood in front of Lin Ruo, saying, "Welcome."
Lin Ruo nodded, a slight smile playing on her lips. "I never expected the doctor to come and pick me up in person. I am truly flattered."
"Miss Lin is too kind. We should be flattered that you would trade with us again. Please come in." Xu Chenfeng touched his nose and replied somewhat awkwardly.
Lin Ruo didn't reply, knowing in her heart that these were just polite words, and followed Xu Chenfeng into the Pharmaceutical Research Association building.
