"What!" On the western peak of Yanshan Mountain, the base that had been quiet until now was in an uproar.
In an office in the central building, a Level 4 psychic ability user was slamming his fist on the table in front of his subordinate with a livid face.
"What do you mean they can't be contacted? What are they trying to do? Did they run away with the stuff?! Or were they killed on the way?!"
The man below lowered his head, also puzzled. "Reporting to the base commander, the terminal's location was clearly at the main peak of Yanshan before, but it suddenly went down. No matter how we try to contact it, we can't find it."
"A bunch of useless trash! They can't even handle a task like transporting supplies properly," the man said, his face contorted with rage upon hearing the report. He took several deep breaths to calm himself down. "I'll contact my superiors, explain the situation, and ask them to allocate another batch of supplies."
"And intensify the investigation! I need to know what happened to these people! I want to see them alive or dead! If they really dared to embezzle the base's supplies, I'll make them regret ever being born!"
"yes!"
After the superhuman left the room, a woman slowly emerged from the shadows. She was wearing a black, fitted down jacket and gracefully walked to the desk. She picked up a pack of cigarettes that was lying next to her, sat down in a chair, and lit a cigarette from the pack. The room was immediately filled with the aroma of tobacco.
"Base Commander Zhou, our base's supplies won't last much longer. The supplies from above are being allocated so slowly. How are we going to hold on for the next few days?"
Zhou Fang, with a gloomy face, snatched the cigarette pack from the woman's hand. He had spent a lot of resources to get these cigarettes, and Wang Ruojing really had no sense of propriety, picking them up and smoking them.
He put the cigarette back in his pocket before saying, "I plan to exchange some with the base in City B. This was our initial plan. Our base has been here for a year now, and we've wanted to connect with City B for a long time, but we haven't had the opportunity until now."
"Aren't you afraid of being discovered by those people at the B City base?" Wang Ruojing took a deep drag on her cigarette, the smoke drifting in the air with her breath. A smile played on her lips as she flicked the ash from her cigarette into the ashtray, but there was no trace of worry in her voice.
How could Zhou Fang not understand what this woman meant? She couldn't wait for him to be discovered. If he attracted the attention of the B City base, his time as base chief would be over, and the entire base would belong to her as the deputy base chief.
"You don't need to worry about that. I'll have someone follow up."
The two men sat in the office, locked in a fierce confrontation, unaware that the most dangerous target they should be wary of was not the B City base, but rather that they were already very close to that danger.
...
After finishing her first round of training early in the morning, Lin Ruo did not immediately begin a second round of training, nor did she turn around to take a shower.
With a thought, the dampness on her body disappeared, leaving her feeling clean and refreshed. Although it wasn't as comfortable as taking a bath, it certainly saved her a lot of time.
She turned and walked out of the fortress. After returning from Hengshan, she tried to go deep underground in many places at low altitudes and found similar energies to those in Hengshan near the mantle.
The difference lies in the altitude and geology of each place, which affects the distance and quality of the energy transmitted.
Of all these places, only the underground medium of Hengshan is most suitable for the propagation of these energies. Therefore, only at the foot of Hengshan can there be so many advanced mutated plants and animals. Lin Ruo has not found any other places.
She tried so many places, but hadn't tried it on the land of City B yet, because compared to the places she had chosen before, City B's altitude was still too high, making it more difficult for energy to spread.
But today she's going down the mountain to explore, which will be her last attempt, to see if the geology of City B is the same as that of Hengshan. She also wants to check the location where Afu and Ashou were attacked yesterday, and to find out if these things were sent out or sent over.
She was wearing a thick down jacket; this time, she didn't plan to fly over in a big way.
Now, a year after the blizzard, the B City base has invented a special suit for travel. This suit contains airbags and has extremely strong insulation against the cold. Even ordinary survivors wearing this suit can move in the snow. The snow can only slow down their progress, but it can no longer easily take their lives.
However, because this outfit is made of fibers from mutated plants, which are difficult to obtain, it is very expensive, and only a few survivors can actually afford to wear it.
When Lin Ruo heard about this on the radio, she was surprised for a long time. She had been reborn for so long, and the memories of her previous life were still deeply imprinted in her mind. She clearly remembered that this thing did not exist in her previous life. In this life, the inventions of the B City base have always been at the forefront, bringing Lin Ruo many surprises at all times.
At first, she was curious about this thing that had never appeared in her previous life, and even asked Jiang Yue about it. Jiang Yue thought she liked it and almost gave her a set. After she figured out what it was for, she decisively refused. She really didn't need it. She could solve everything by covering herself with a layer of water film.
But because of this thing, there are now more humans active on this main peak. It is even safer during blizzards than during extreme heat. Those mutated animals rarely appear, and mutated plants have also entered dormancy. Humans have almost no natural enemies outside.
