The sky outside grew darker and darker, leaving only an endless abyss of darkness, so dark that one could not see their own hand in front of their face. In this darkness, sight became completely useless, while the sense of touch was amplified infinitely. The icy coldness hitting the body made one feel even colder.
In this boundless darkness, the B City base is like a guiding pearl, brightly lit inside and out, driving away all the surrounding darkness.
In Ye Lin's office, the sound of turning over papers could be heard from time to time. Ye Lin and Jiang Yue had not rested yet and were still looking through various documents they had obtained from the base, hoping to find any information about the experiment.
Taking advantage of the night, Lin Ruo teleported directly into the B City base. As soon as she teleported in, she noticed that the B City base had more than twice the number of guards as before, and there were also many superhumans patrolling.
Standing on the city wall, she spread her mental energy around and actually discovered the presence of several level 4 ability users. She blinked a few times. It seemed that the B City base was under high alert, probably to prevent a night raid.
Remembering what Jiang Yue had told her before, they had taken over the enemy's base and captured their people. This was definitely to prevent the enemy from resorting to desperate measures.
Lin Ruo sneered. If those people hiding in the gutter had such courage and dared to snatch their people back, she would have a much easier time. Unfortunately, these people only knew how to hide and didn't even dare to show their tails. Instead, they would waste a lot of her time.
She stood in the spatial rift and glanced again at the Level 4 fire-type ability user in the very center of the city wall. She leaned against the wall, and several other ability users were moving around her. Fire energy was rapidly circulating around her. Was she cultivating? Cultivating while on a mission? She was quite diligent. No wonder she was the strongest among these Level 4 ability users.
Lin Ruo never hesitates to appreciate hardworking people; their achievements are all the result of their own hard work and dedication.
But Lin Ruo only glanced at it once, her appreciation fleeting, and no amount of effort from her could change anything.
She looked away, then turned and left again.
Zheng Yanfei leaned against the city wall, constantly circulating the fire energy in her body. She hadn't finished her cultivation time when she went on the mission today, but she had to carry out the orders from above, so she could only go through the motions without putting in any real effort.
The people around her were all her men. Because of these men, she didn't need to worry about any danger.
As the squad leader of the superpower team, she naturally knew some of what had happened today. In her opinion, strengthening security tonight was completely futile.
If those people dared to come back, would we have let them take over the base? It's already a done deal. Everyone has been captured and brought back. The entire B City base is impregnable. Those people must be crazy to attack now.
She had said this to Su Buqing, but Su Buqing also said that today's events were all for show, which is why the base's level 4 ability users were allowed to participate.
Since that was the case, she had no hope of skipping work and could only go to the city wall to cultivate.
Lin Ruo had no idea that the "kind person" she had been curious about was the same person she had admired on the city wall earlier. Now, she was focused on finding some clues.
Having learned from her previous experience, Lin Ruo was more cautious this time. She had learned her lesson before, as the blizzard was either extremely cold or extremely hot, making many high-precision instruments unusable. But now, the temperature during the blizzard was only around -20 degrees Celsius, so these instruments were usable.
She needs to be more careful in the future, so just now she not only added an invisibility water membrane to herself, but also activated the spatial domain and spatial folding at the same time. Every time she teleported, she used the folded space to cover herself, and the landing point of each teleportation was in the spatial gap. Even the most advanced instruments would not be able to detect her trace.
Instead of searching the entire base first, she went to the office building of the B City base. Now that it was late at night and such a big thing had happened, Ye Lin and the others might close the door and talk about some things that only their confidants could hear.
With the distance she could teleport, it only took two teleports for her to enter the B City base office building. This wasn't her first time here, so she wouldn't go to the wrong place.
After the third teleportation, she appeared in Ye Lin's office, standing in the spatial rift. She watched Jiang Yue and the others flipping through documents, slowly manipulating their spatial abilities to move and fold the space. She slowly approached them through the spatial rift and, looking at the documents in their hands, realized that these documents were all obtained from that base.
These documents were just office materials from the base commander's office. The contents were quite ordinary, and Lin Ruo didn't pay much attention to them at the time. But seeing their furrowed brows, she knew that there probably wasn't much information in them.
Just as Lin Ruo was about to look at the contents of Ye Lin's safe, she suddenly looked towards the door. At that moment, Chen Yu walked in from outside, covered in snowflakes, looking travel-worn, but with an exceptionally unpleasant expression.
"So? What did they confess this time?"
Ye Lin looked up at Chen Yu, his eyes filled with some expectation. They had searched for so long without finding any useful information, and now they could only pin their hopes on these people's confessions.
“These people don’t know much, they only talked about their usual missions,” Chen Yu took a deep breath. “According to our incomplete statistics, we have captured nearly 10,000 superhumans. Judging from the time of capture, these superhumans should have been used for experiments and should all be dead by now.”
"How much?!" Jiang Yue seemed unable to believe the number he heard. His hand clenched the documents in his hand tightly, and his face immediately turned gloomy.
Ye Lin slammed the documents in his hand onto the desk, his chest heaving violently. Since he took over as the base commander, few things had ever made him so angry.
Chen Yu took a deep breath to calm his emotions. "Ten thousand. At least ten thousand people have died in this experiment. And that's just the number of superhumans they captured. There are also ordinary survivors among them that haven't been counted. I'm afraid the number is even greater than the number of superhumans who have been killed."
Jiang Yue immediately stood up and kicked the stool hard. The metal stool was kicked far away and slammed into the opposite wall.
"These beasts! What are they trying to do?!"
