Lin Ruo had no idea that she had been friend-zoned. She had already flown to the main peak of Yanshan Mountain and originally intended to bypass this area and go straight home.
But when she scanned downwards with her mental energy, she discovered that there were many superhumans walking among the thick snow.
At this time, the untouched mountain slopes of the main peak of Yanshan had accumulated more than ten meters of snow. These superhumans carved out narrow paths through the snow, and only their dark heads could be seen in the snow.
Her figure swept through the air, and because she hadn't applied an invisibility water membrane to herself, the sound of her wings flapping already attracted the attention of the superhumans below.
Even some superhumans below, after recognizing Lin Ruo, waved and greeted her, but Lin Ruo did not respond as her enormous wings swept rapidly through the air.
Lin Ruo scanned these ability users with his mental energy and discovered that they were picking out all the crystal cores that had been buried under the snow.
Previously, these were the jobs of ordinary survivors, but now, in this blizzard, only those with superpowers can do them.
These ordinary survivors can only find odd jobs in the base to earn points to support themselves, and they can only find people with superpowers to do these jobs outside.
Many people with superpowers travel long distances to come here, and after each natural disaster, the B City base will see a large influx of people migrating.
Thinking of the B City base that was completely buried by an avalanche last time, Lin Ruo suddenly remembered what Xu Chenfeng had told her when she went to C City. She wondered what the B City base had obtained from Hengshan and what it had researched. Her eyes flickered, and she suddenly wanted to go to the B City base to take a look.
But this is a secret of the base, and even if she is willing to pay the price, she doesn't know if the base in City B will tell her about such an important research result.
Originally, this had nothing to do with her, but she always had a feeling that these things were important, and perhaps had some inexplicable connection to why natural disasters occur in this world.
Lin Ruo naturally wanted to find out.
Her eyes darkened for a moment. If the B City base disagreed, she would always find a way to figure these things out, it would just take some time and effort.
She flew in a circle, changed direction, and flew towards the B City base.
The surrounding area was all bare snow, and there were many superhumans constantly moving through it. Her appearance was too conspicuous, so Lin Ruo didn't put on the invisibility water membrane again and just flew over the heads of these superhumans openly.
When they arrived at the original location of the B City base, they found it deserted. Lin Ruo was surprised: Where did everyone go?
She fully unleashed her spiritual power and quickly discovered two major bases on the summit of the main peak. Due to the increasingly frequent natural disasters, the two bases had now merged, and large areas of buildings had been constructed on the summit.
Lin Ruo flew towards the mountaintop, encountering many ability users descending the mountain along the way. The path down the mountain had been cleared, allowing several people to walk side by side.
Watching the ordinary survivors slowly clearing the snow with shovels, Lin Ruo nodded slightly. The B City base was quite humane. These people with superpowers only had to use their abilities a few times, yet they were assigned to these ordinary people, just so that they would have work to do and wouldn't starve.
Looking at the base on the mountaintop, Lin Ruo raised an eyebrow. It was probably because the previous avalanche had completely submerged the base, and the two major bases had suffered heavy losses last time, that they considered building the base on the mountaintop.
Lin Ruo was unaware that this was also a helpless move by the B City base. In the last avalanche, nearly 20% of the base's survivors were lost.
The remaining survivors, though they took refuge inside the building and avoided direct contact with the snow, were still injured by falling debris. The base's hospital was overflowing with people, and the hospital's medications were being used up very quickly.
Given such enormous losses, and in order to prevent further avalanches from endangering the lives of personnel at both bases, the two bases unanimously decided to merge the two bases and build the new base on the mountaintop.
On this mountaintop, as long as the snow around the base is cleared constantly, there will be no danger for the time being. Although the problem of getting around may be more serious, at least there will be fewer people getting injured or even losing their lives.
The survivors who had previously lived outside the B City base were finally accepted by the B City base and were able to live inside. Their lives afterward were a blessing in disguise, and they regained the protection of the authorities.
However, the B City base was not as peaceful as expected during this period. On the contrary, various disputes arose, all of which came from the teams that came from other bases to make transactions.
Before Lin Ruo even flew to the vicinity of the B City base, his mental energy had already penetrated deep into the B City base. Due to the population explosion, the buildings built on the mountaintop of the B City base were not tall, but the underground had already reached the third floor.
At this moment, Lin Ruo's attention was drawn to the crowd surrounding the exchange hall. A dozen or so superhumans were gathered in front of the exchange hall, shouting at the staff inside.
"Why are you selling it to us at such a high price? One crystal core can only be exchanged for ten kilograms of grain. Why don't you just rob us!"
"Do you know how hard it is to find crystal cores these days? These few dozen crystal cores were found by us risking our lives under snow more than ten meters deep. And you're telling me that's only worth a few hundred kilograms of grain!"
"Please, give us more supplies, the people in our base are starving to death."
Everyone knows that life is tough right now due to the blizzard disaster, but these people who came for help never imagined that life is also very difficult for the B City base.
The merger of the two bases had already placed a heavy burden on the B City base. In order to allow more survivors to survive, the B City base also took in survivors from the outer perimeter of the base.
All of these people need to be fed. Even though there are quite a few wood-type ability users in the base, it's still difficult to solve the problem of food and clothing for so many people.
These wood-type ability users use their abilities continuously every day, consuming a considerable number of crystal cores. If it weren't for their cooperation with the C City base, their base would have collapsed long ago.
There was simply no spare capacity to help these outsiders, but the staff members were all professionally trained and knew that these people were anxious, so they were trying their best to comfort them.
However, these words of advice had no effect; instead, they emboldened these people.
"You're an official base, how could you possibly be without food! You must be trying to hide it from us!"
"Yes! We want to exchange for supplies!"
Amidst the commotion, more and more people gathered in the exchange hall to watch the excitement. Someone glanced up at the sky and was surprised to see Lin Ruo flying towards them.
"Is that... Lin Ruo? Has she come to the B City base?"
