Lin Ruo nodded. Indeed, unless someone as lucky as her had activated their spatial abilities before the apocalypse, the soil from before the apocalypse would definitely not have been preserved.
"We have been conducting various experiments on post-apocalyptic soil and, through sophisticated instrument testing, have discovered that the molecular composition sequence of some substances in the soil has changed."
Seeing Lin Ruo's slightly furrowed brows, Xu Chenfeng assumed she hadn't understood and explained with a smile, "To give you an example, the things are still the same, but after the arrangement and combination change, those substances will change from A to B. It is because of the change of these substances that a strange energy exists in the soil. But we don't understand the root cause yet. We still need to confirm why the arrangement and combination of these substances has changed."
After hearing this, Lin Ruo suddenly realized that she had only used her mental power to analyze what was inside, but had not carefully examined the permutations and combinations. No wonder she couldn't find a suitable problem. Now that she knew where the problem lay, she could go back and continue her research.
Once Lin Ruo learned about these things, her mind cleared up, and the pent-up frustration in her heart dissipated. She wished she could fly back right now to continue examining the seawater, but she hadn't finished what she needed to do yet.
As they spoke, they arrived at Xu Chenfeng's laboratory. The other ability users behind them did not follow into the office but waited outside. No one was allowed to enter Xu Chenfeng's laboratory without his permission.
Xu Chenfeng and Lin Ruo raised their hands, "Sit down."
Lin Ruo followed his hand and sat down on the sofa opposite him, casually taking off the huge black hiking backpack behind her and placing it beside her.
Xu Chenfeng picked up the thermos next to him, poured a cup of hot water for Lin Ruo, and placed it on the coffee table in front of her.
Lin Ruo didn't even glance at the cup; she was eager to get home and finish the transaction as soon as possible.
She took out her backpack, opened it, and took out dozens of various mutated fruits. She placed these fruits on the coffee table and said, "These are the mutated fruits I brought. Doctor, you can take a look."
Xu Chenfeng is a wood-type ability user. When he saw these mutated fruits, his eyes lit up. He immediately picked one up to examine it. This was not because he did not trust Lin Ruo, but because he sensed the abundant wood-type energy and medicinal value inside, and he was somewhat impatient.
Lin Ruo didn't disturb them, just waited by their side. Soon, Xu Chenfeng put the fruit back on the table, then clapped his hands. Soon, someone carried a potion box in from outside. This time, they brought all ability recovery potions, because it was during the blizzard season, and these potions sold the best.
Five hundred vials of medicine were neatly stacked in the box.
Lin Ruo glanced at it and had no objection. She hadn't used most of the potions in her space yet, and this transaction was just an excuse. Besides, this kind of potion was indeed more practical for her.
"This is the quantity of potions we agreed on before. Take a look and see if there's anything wrong." Xu Chenfeng pushed the large potion box in front of Lin Ruo, and then said with a smile.
Lin Ruo scanned the medicine box with her mental energy. The quantity was indeed correct, but she couldn't guarantee the quality. Previously, she had relied on her mental energy to detect the basic ingredients in these medicines, and they were consistent with the medicines she had obtained before, so she could take them with peace of mind.
But just now, Xu Chenfeng mentioned the issue of molecular sequences to her. She hadn't tried using her mental power to check the molecular sequences yet, so she couldn't be sure if there was anything wrong with these medicines.
She took a vial from the medicine box, glanced at it, and put it back. "No need to check it. I trust the doctor wouldn't lie to me for the sake of our future cooperation."
Upon hearing this, Xu Chenfeng's smile widened. He could naturally hear the threat in those words, but he was still very happy, which meant that they would have another opportunity to cooperate in the future.
"Yes, I wouldn't do something so stupid so that we might still have a chance to do business together later."
After the transaction, Lin Ruo declined Xu Chenfeng's offer to stay for dinner, saying, "The journey has been difficult, so I won't stay. Thank you for your kindness, Doctor."
Xu Chenfeng never expected Lin Ruo to agree. If these sweet words could really keep Lin Ruo, the B City base would have been taken over long ago. Would they still only be maintaining a good cooperative relationship now?
"Then next time," Xu Chenfeng stood up, not insisting that he stay.
Lin Ruo followed Xu Chenfeng out of the Pharmaceutical Research Association's gate, carrying a backpack on her back and holding a medicine box in her hands. Wings sprouted from her back again out of thin air. She nodded to Xu Chenfeng who had followed her out, and then spread her wings and flew into the sky.
Xu Chenfeng looked at the wings that were forming, and green light shone around him. Several vines wrapped around his body and slowly expanded outward, growing the prototype of Lin Ruo's wings. However, before the wings were fully formed, Xu Chenfeng's face turned slightly pale. He knew that his mental power was almost at its limit. Even if the wings were generated, they would not be as free as Lin Ruo could control.
The green light on his body dissipated, and the vines on his back slowly withered. Only after trying it did they realize how difficult it was for them, these superhumans, to do something so easy for Lin Ruo.
He looked at the black figure gradually disappearing into the air, a slight smile playing on his lips.
Lin Ruo flapped her wings and quickly moved away from the C City base. Once she was sure that the other party could no longer see her, she put on a layer of invisibility water film, twisted her waist slightly, and immediately changed direction in the air. Her huge wings spread out and she flew back to the C City base.
She had already discovered the location of the potion factory when she followed the superhuman who was leading the way through the streets, but she was in a bit of a rush at the time and didn't have time to observe it properly. Now that she has returned invisibly, she can compare it with her own production method and see where it is lacking.
She activated her invisibility water membrane, using her spatial domain and spatial folding techniques in combination, and instantly disappeared into the sky. When she reappeared, she was already standing in the C City base.
Over the course of six months, Lin Ruo's ability to use her powers became increasingly proficient through continuous practice. She was now able to fold space twice, which, although extremely energy-consuming, allowed her to teleport nearly thirty kilometers at once, a feat that could be described as miraculous.
Lin Ruo stood in the C City base, carefully discerned the direction, and once again used his spatial domain to teleport away.
The pharmaceutical factory at the C City base is heavily guarded. Not only are there layers of superhuman guards patrolling outside, but the anti-theft measures on each floor inside the factory are also quite thorough. There are three gates in total, and each gate requires relevant credentials to enter. There is also a guard standing at the last gate.
