Shortly after Lin Ruo left, the superhumans who had been imprisoned rushed out of the base. Instead of separating, they went directly to the nearest base in City B.
The guards at the gate of the B City base suddenly saw hundreds of superhumans rushing towards the base and immediately went on alert.
Since the B City base opened for trading, there have been many people with superpowers coming and going from the base every day. But these people are different. They are all wearing hospital gowns, which look particularly thin in this snowy weather.
Moreover, these people were covered in blood, which clearly indicated that they were not there to conduct normal transactions at the base. As these people got closer and closer to the base gate, the guards began to reach for the crystal energy guns behind their backs, and the caution in their eyes was almost tangible.
These seemingly fierce-looking superhumans all collapsed to the ground upon reaching the base's main gate, appearing utterly exhausted. This left the guards somewhat dumbfounded. They didn't seem to be there to cause trouble; rather, they looked like they were there to ask for help, exuding a pitiful aura.
"What are you doing! Get up right now!" The guards frowned, cautiously refusing to step forward, their crystal energy guns already pointed at the people.
"We are all superhumans captured by the base on the west side of the mountain. We have no other choice but to see the leaders of the B City base. Please help us report this."
Please!
The reason they came to the B City base was, of course, because they had no supplies on them and were even wearing only thin clothes. If they were to return to the base like this, they would surely freeze to death on the way.
Another reason is that the B City base is the only official base. If they report the situation at that base, they might receive different treatment and be able to prevent more people from being harmed.
"Wait a moment."
The superhuman on duty at the gate immediately notified Chen Yu. He didn't dare to be careless. Although these people didn't look to be in good condition, there were still several hundred superhumans. If they rioted, he wouldn't be able to stop them.
Chen Yu and his men quickly arrived at the door. By this time, the superhumans had calmed down and stood up from the ground.
"What happened?"
Among these superhumans stepped forward. This person was a level 3 water-type superhuman. Although he was dressed simply, he had a unique aura about him, which suggested that he must have been a leader before the apocalypse.
"Is this Captain Chen of the Special Abilities Team? We just escaped from the nearby mountain peak and want to seek refuge with the B City base. We also ask the B City base to help us."
Chen Yu glanced at the other group of superhumans behind him and said, "You all come with me first."
With so many superhumans joining the base, it can only benefit the base. Besides, he also wanted to hear what had happened to them that made them so miserable.
An hour later, Chen Yu, his face ashen, knocked on Ye Lin's office door. This matter was no simple one; judging from what these people were saying, there must be more to come.
"...These people were all captured by the hunting team. According to them, they were captured to conduct some kind of experiment. Since they were not involved, they did not know what the experiment was about. They only knew that the experiment used people with superpowers as experimental subjects, and that the people with superpowers who were taken away never came back."
"Some people with superpowers only occasionally heard words like 'transfer' or 'transplant,' because the soundproofing in the solitary confinement room was so good that they weren't sure if they had misheard."
"The reason they were able to escape today is because someone hacked into the base's laboratory. The person who hacked in was Lin Ruo. Lin Ruo must have helped them open the door to the confinement cell and restored their superpowers, but when they escaped, she was already gone."
"When they came out, the laboratory was in complete chaos, and many of the hunters' ability users outside the laboratory were dead. They didn't dare to delay and quickly fought their way out."
Ye Lin and Jiang Yue both looked very upset when they heard what Chen Yu said. What kind of time is this to be experimenting on living people? These people are too heartless.
Chen Yu looked at Jiang Yue and said, "It's obvious that Lin Ruo knows more than these superhumans. If we want to know what kind of experiments they are conducting, we should ask Lin Ruo."
Jiang Yue nodded. He knew the importance of this matter. He believed that Sister Ruo must also hate those experiments, otherwise she wouldn't have killed so many members of the hunting team and rescued these superhumans. "I'll ask, but... I can't guarantee I'll get any information."
Ye Lin's eyes flickered as he looked at Chen Yu. "Chen Yu, take the superpower team to the western mountain peak and take over their base. If they resist, kill them on the spot. Search carefully to see if you can get any more clues. According to these people, the hunting team should know more. Pay close attention to them."
“Okay,” Chen Yu nodded, which was also his original idea.
This matter cannot be left unresolved. There have been previous cases of people with superpowers suddenly disappearing. They thought it was the work of some special superpowered individual, but they never expected that these missing people were actually being used as experimental subjects. Regardless of the purpose of the experiment, such experiments have no reason to exist.
On the other side, Lin Ruo had already returned to the fortress. She was anxious to look at the data in the space, and instead of going directly through the door, she teleported directly to the second-floor laboratory in mid-air.
Ah Liu and Lao Bai paused their swaying branches, realizing that Lin Ruo had returned. They stretched their branches to the second-floor window and peered inside. They found Lin Ruo taking documents out of her spatial storage, completely focused. Knowing that their master had important matters to attend to, they didn't disturb her.
Not only that, but to prevent Ashou and Alu from disturbing Lin Ruo's train of thought, they were not even allowed to enter the fortress, which made Ashou and Alu only dare to whimper in protest, but dare not shout loudly.
Lin Ruo, on the second floor, was completely unaware of what was happening downstairs. Her mind was entirely focused on the data she had brought back. This data contained some experimental progress and records, but there was no trace of who was behind it all. She had no curiosity about the experimental progress and content; the thing she most wanted to know was precisely the one for which she had no clue.
With her powerful mental strength, Lin Ruo quickly checked all of these things. Then, somewhat annoyed, she threw them all onto the lab table. These people were really careful; they hadn't left a single trace. There wasn't even any message on the computers or terminals.
She piled all these things on the table, rubbed her temples, so this time, in terms of the experiment alone, it was practically fruitless.
She looked up, a dark glint in her eyes. These people were really good at hiding their true intentions. The more they did so, the more curious she became.
