The snow fell heavily, boundless and bringing only endless despair and cold. The snow fell on the woman's hair, its white color reflecting off her complexion.
The female superhuman's lips were pressed tightly together, her heart filled with panic. She wasn't afraid of death, but she wanted her child to live until this damned apocalypse ended, and she wanted her to continue living a happy life.
She never doubted Lin Ruo's methods. As long as she felt that these people deserved to die, she would not show any mercy. Just as she said, killing all these people was the most energy-efficient way for her.
Then the ordinary people in the base will suffer, not to mention her family members are among them.
After a long while, the female superhuman finally let out a breath and spoke heavily.
"I said..."
Lin Ruo moved her hand at her side, and the faint blue light disappeared.
“If I told you,” she looked up into Lin Ruo’s eyes again, “would you let those innocent people go?”
Lin Ruo glanced at her casually, "You talk a lot of nonsense too."
The female superhuman lowered her head to avoid Lin Ruo's gaze. She knew that Lin Ruo was probably very impatient by now, so she didn't dare to delay and told him everything she knew.
"This mission was planned and directed by several high-ranking officials at the Baiyu base. Their only goal was to steal that magical fruit..."
This female superhuman held a high position in the Baiyu base. After some explanation, Lin Ruo learned a lot of other secrets about the Baiyu base, such as that they were one of the bases that discovered underground minerals around the base, and that there was a hidden supply depot in their base, but it was hidden outside the base by the higher-ups, and so on.
Lin Ruo got the information she wanted to know, and also learned the exact location of Bai Yu's base based on her description.
"I have photos of those high-ranking officials stored in my terminal. I can point them out to you one by one."
After the female superhuman finished speaking, she looked at Lin Ruo with a hint of sadness in her eyes. She could never go back.
Lin Ruo lifted her eyelids slightly, knowing that this woman wasn't kindly trying to help her solve the problem, but rather afraid that she had mistaken someone for someone else and might indiscriminately kill innocent people.
"Old Bai, take the terminal off her wrist."
After Lin Ruo finished speaking, Lao Bai's branch, which was binding the woman, started to move, and a few seconds later he handed over a terminal.
She reached out and took it, pulled up the photos on the terminal, and had the woman and the remaining dozen or so ability users identify them together, thus forming an impression of the faces of those high-ranking individuals.
After the identification was completed, the woman fell silent and slowly closed her eyes.
Lin Ruo didn't even look at the dozen or so ability users who were still struggling beside her. With a thought, her spatial domain instantly expanded, and the female ability user's crystal core flew from her mind into Lin Ruo's hand. It was bright red, like a ruby, and there was a slight warmth in her palm.
The female superhuman's body stiffened instantly. Because she was still bound by Lao Bai, her head drooped down, and she stopped breathing.
Then Lin Ruo said directly to Lao Bai, "Leave all these people to them."
Without hesitation, Lao Bai threw these people into the mutated forest. Instantly, a series of tragic howls echoed through the woods, as if they were suffering some cruel punishment. Then, only whimpering sounds remained, and after a few seconds, nothing could be heard at all.
Lin Ruomo rubbed the bright red crystal core in his hand, then threw it into his spatial storage. The next second, he had already teleported into the fortress. They were setting off in the next few days, so he needed to make some more preparations.
The next morning.
Lin Ruo sat in the restaurant, put the last bite of her breakfast into her mouth, and looked at the time on the wall. It was already 10 a.m., time to leave.
The Baiyu base is located more than 1,000 kilometers south of Linruo Mountain, forming a huge triangle with Hengshan, where Linruo ultimately wanted to go, on the map.
Lin Ruo tidied up the tableware, picked up the clothes she had prepared, put them on, and headed out.
At this moment, Afu, Ashou, and Alu were waiting outside. Aliu was also ready and had transplanted herself into a palm-sized flowerpot. The flowerpot was placed on Afu's big head, and the top of the small sapling kept swaying, attracting Lin Ruo's attention.
Old Bai didn't go to join the fun. It wasn't that it didn't want to go, but it knew that even if it went, given its size, it could only stay in the space and couldn't go anywhere. It was more practical to stay at home and guard the house.
Lin Ruo knew they wanted to come along, but she didn't know how many days it would take to get back, so she didn't plan to take so many with her.
But when she regained her powers on the way, she did need them to protect her. Her gaze swept over them and finally landed on Afu's head.
Ah Liu's trip to the B City base with Lin Ruo last time left a deep impression on her, and she wanted to see what new tricks Ah Liu had up her sleeve.
Seeing Lin Ruo's eyes finally fall on A Liu, A Fu and the others shrank back dejectedly. Oh no, if they take A Liu, they don't need to take them. A Liu is an all-rounder.
A-Liu's willow branches immediately stretched out and wrapped around Lin Ruo's wrist, flying towards Lin Ruo along with the tree and pot. Lin Ruo didn't have to lift a finger to get them; it did everything on its own, as if afraid its master would change his mind.
Lin Ruo quickly caught it with both hands, preventing the flowerpot made of black jade crystal from hitting her shoulder.
"You all take good care of the house. I'll take you with me next time I go out. This trip will be quite long, and you'll have to stay in the space while you're there."
"Awoo!" Afu turned into a tiny creature and walked to Lin Ruo's feet, rubbing its silvery-white head against Lin Ruo's thigh to indicate that it understood.
After saying goodbye to them, Lin Ruo put the small flowerpot in her hand into the backpack behind her. Just as she was about to use her water-based ability to transform it into wings, she felt a sudden weight on her back and instinctively turned her head.
Then she saw dozens of willow branches sticking out of Ah Liu's backpack. Some wrapped around Lin Ruo's waist, while others stretched outwards, forming the shape of wings that Lin Ruo had previously created with her water-based superpower. The willow leaves fluttering in the cold wind really did resemble feathers.
A-Liu had seen the wings that Lin Ruo had conjured many times before. When it flew back from the B City base with Lin Ruo last time, it had experienced them up close, so it could naturally simulate them.
Seeing A-Liu's actions, Lin Ruo understood perfectly well that A-Liu wanted him to conserve his special abilities.
A-Liu manipulated the branches that had twined into wings, waving them continuously, and Lin Ruo was lifted into the air.
Lin Ruo raised her eyebrows slightly, not expecting A Liu to have such a strong learning ability. She had only been taught to fly once and had already learned how to fly. She could even grow wings. It seemed that she could take A Liu with her more often when going out in the future. In this kind of weather, A Liu was simply a travel essential.
The few remaining guards inside the fortress felt a chill run down their spines after witnessing A-Liu's audacious maneuver—it was all over!
Since A-Liu behaved so well, will their owner take them out again next time?
She'll definitely only bring Ah Liu along!
