Time passed slowly during the long blizzard. Lin Ruo, who was living a carefree life in her fortress, soon discovered that there were many visitors on her mountain peak. Moreover, the visitors' target was clearly not her fortress, but the mutated plants on her mountain peak.
"Sister Ruo, things might be a bit turbulent lately. The mutated fruit you traded with us before has attracted a lot of attention. Because we can't completely control this plant yet, we haven't fully opened up seed exchanges. But we've noticed that many bases are getting restless. I'm afraid they'll turn their attention to you. You need to be careful."
When A-Liu told Lin Ruo for the third time today that someone had come from the mountain peak, Lin Ruo received this message from Jiang Yue. After reading the message, her brows twitched slightly, and then she put the terminal in her hand on the kitchen counter and ignored it.
She kept stirring the tea leaves in the pot, making sure the milk tea didn't turn out bad this time.
The kitchen was filled with the aroma of caramel and tea. As milk was added, a rich milk tea flavor filled the air. Lin Ruo took a deep breath, her expression one of pure enjoyment, and eagerly took a sip with a spoon.
It has a rich milky flavor, a mellow tea aroma, and a moderate sweetness—delicious!
The light brown milk tea was poured into the prepared container. Lin Ruo kept one cup and stored the rest of the milk tea in her spatial storage. She planned to research snacks like pearls and coconut jelly next time, because without these things, drinking milk tea would lack soul.
After cleaning up the kitchen, Lin Ruo picked up the milk tea she had made and the terminal and sat down at the dining table. By this time, those who had secretly come to her mountain to steal the mutated plants had already become nutrients for those mutated plants.
As she sipped her milk tea, she rubbed the terminal with her hand, and only then did she begin to think about the message Jiang Yue had just sent. It seemed that these bases still felt that the risk of offending her was less than that of offending the B City base.
Her lips curled slightly upward, she was smiling, but her eyes were unusually cold. Did she think that the mutated plants on this mountain were so easy to steal?
Putting aside the level of these mutated plants, their intelligence is higher than that of these people. Even these plants know not to provoke her, but these people just can't learn their lesson.
Lin Ruo placed the milk tea on the table, looked outside at the even heavier blizzard than before, and the smile on her lips slowly disappeared. After not showing her power for so long, these people must have forgotten what she did before.
Just then, Ah Liu's willow branch reached in again, gesturing to Lin Ruo for the fourth time today, telling Lin Ruo that someone else had come to the mountain peak.
Lin Ruo thought that he had almost finished dealing with the matter at hand. Thanks to his efforts, the water level in the seawater pool had reached the same level as the freshwater pool. Perhaps he could take this opportunity to go to Hengshan.
Hengshan is so far away, and I can't get back in a day anyway, so I might as well go and cause trouble for others to lift my spirits.
It's unclear how long it will take for the B City base to officially release the fruit seeds. Since these people can't steal them from her, they'll definitely try other methods, like forcibly taking them.
She might have to use large weapons like crystal cannons. There are still quite a few level 3 mutated plants on this mountain, and crystal cannons could potentially damage them.
It would be better to nip these ideas in the bud, so that they will never dare to have any crooked thoughts again.
Lin Ruo's mind raced, and she changed her mind. So she stopped A Liu, who was about to leave, and said, "A Liu, don't kill him. Bring him here."
Ah Liu was very clever and immediately understood Lin Ruo's plan. She quickly tapped the willow branch twice in the air before extending it out from the main entrance.
Lin Ruo picked up the milk tea on the table, finished the cup in a few gulps, took out a wet tissue from the table to wipe the milk stains from her mouth, and the next second she had disappeared from the restaurant.
When Lin Ruo reappeared, she was already standing on the platform outside the fortress. In just two hours, the snow on the platform had been cleared and was already above Lin Ruo's ankles.
When she appeared, countless branches stretched out from all around her, and the branches of Ah Liu and Lao Bai intertwined above her head, forming a "roof" for Lin Ruo.
At this moment, the plants in the mutated forest outside easily bound more than a dozen superhumans and appeared outside the isolation zone. Old Bai stretched out his branches to take these people and brought them to Lin Ruo.
At this moment, these people were terrified and their faces turned pale. Although they knew that the mountain was dangerous, they had also heard that Lin Ruo had been having the mutated plants and beasts on the mountain clear out the intruders recently, and she herself had not appeared for a long time.
Originally, as long as they didn't enter the attack range of those mutated plants on the outer edge of the mountain, they would still have a chance to escape. However, they were ambushed by the mutated plants buried under the snow just as they climbed the eastern peak today.
All the superpowers thrown out in resistance struck these mutated plants, breaking their branches, but the branches would grow back in the next instant. In the end, because there were too many branches, their superpowers were exhausted, and they were tied up tightly and carried all the way to this fortress.
The mutated plants on this mountain only listen to Lin Ruo. Now, with these actions, what else could they not understand? It must be at Lin Ruo's behest.
With such speculation in their minds, they still felt a surge of panic when they saw the figure standing on the platform.
Lin Ruo stood under the huge branches, putting on the down jacket that A Liu had brought her. After she put on the down jacket, A Liu's branches handed her a hat and a scarf.
Since they upgraded to level 6, their intelligence has become close to that of an adult human. Before, although A-Liu and the others would feel sorry for her being cold, they would never have gone to such lengths as to bring her clothes into the house and do this.
