“These people are utterly inhuman. We must find them all and notify the C City base to expedite the analysis of the toxin’s properties. We’ve only seen one base conducting such experiments, but the fact that the organization behind it was able to quickly cut its losses and survive means that there’s definitely more than one lab!”
With a heavy expression, Ye Lin explained to Jiang Yue and Chen Yu that as a base commander, no one understood the importance of the laboratory better than him. Every experimenter in the B City base laboratory was an important member of the base, and he would feel heartbroken to lose even one of them.
The fact that the organization behind this was so decisive and willing to do so suggests that there is more than one laboratory involved. Otherwise, they would have wanted to take these researchers away instead of killing them to cover their tracks.
"yes!"
After hearing Ye Lin's analysis, Lin Ruo's suspicions about the B City base lessened. After all, if it wasn't the B City base, then who could it be? In the past six months, she had traveled all over the country and had never seen any base with such strength.
As Lin Ruo pondered, she scratched her forehead, feeling that she had spent more time thinking than cultivating today. This was probably the most mentally active day she had since the apocalypse.
Suddenly, she remembered the crystal energy guns she had found in the spaces of those superhumans transporting supplies. She narrowed her eyes slightly. Even if these things were replaced, the B City base would keep records and would not allow crystal energy guns to be leaked out in large quantities.
This indicates that there must be an inside agent within the B City base, and this agent wields considerable power.
Either the replaced weapons were leaked, or the blueprints for making the weapons were stolen.
If the blueprints were stolen, that would be even more conspicuous. Not many people have access to weapon blueprints. If we can find this person by following this clue, we can get more information.
Lin Ruo lowered her head and touched her chin. It would be a bit troublesome for her to investigate this clue herself, but she could indirectly reveal it to Jiang Yue, who would have an easier time investigating it than she would.
She scanned Ye Lin's safe with her mental energy, and her powerful mental energy instantly presented the contents of the documents inside clearly to Lin Ruo.
Having confirmed that nothing inside was related to the experiment, she withdrew her mental energy, thus officially ruling out Ye Lin as a suspect.
Then, with a thought, her spatial domain expanded instantly, and she vanished from Ye Lin's office.
She first went to Chen Yu and Jiang Yue's offices. Although they were not highly suspicious at the moment, they still needed to be searched to prove their innocence.
Only after she had thoroughly scanned their office with her mental energy was she completely certain that the three of them had nothing to do with this matter.
With their credibility established, the three of them could now be allowed to investigate the matter of the Crystal Energy Gun.
Lin Ruo then used his spatial domain again, this time without hesitation, expanding his mental power to its maximum range, constantly traversing the B City base, trying to see if there were any other clues.
Because the base in City B had changed a lot after it moved, she constantly teleported in the darkness, her mental energy constantly monitoring her surroundings.
The entire B City base was brightly lit in the darkness, and many people were still clearing snow from the streets. During this blizzard, if the snow wasn't cleared overnight, it would be very troublesome to clean it up the next day.
These people, dressed in cotton-padded clothes and carrying tools, were clearing snow. To keep themselves from getting bored, they chatted as they cleared the snow.
"What's going on today? It seems like our base is under martial law? Why?"
"What else could it be? I heard that a lot of superhumans were captured at the base today. I wonder what they did wrong."
"I saw it today too. I don't know how many times those helicopters transporting superhumans have flown. I wonder how many people they've arrested."
"These people must have committed a serious crime to make our base go through so much trouble."
"These are all superhumans. After a long interrogation, the worst punishment they can get is to be given a drug that will keep them relying on the base's medication to use their powers for the rest of their lives. Anyway, they won't be killed."
"That's because they're superhumans. No matter how big the crime they commit, they won't die, unlike us, whose lives can be gone in an instant."
"No way, they won't die no matter what they do?"
"Of course, my neighbor's brother-in-law was also a superhuman. Before joining the base, he committed arson, murder, and robbery, but after joining, he was given a drug and is now doing well in the superhuman team. My neighbor even moved away because of him..."
Lin Ruo flashed past these people, their conversation catching her ear. She raised an eyebrow; it seemed that the people in the B City base weren't entirely without complaints. Sure enough, wherever there are people, there is discontent.
But thinking of what she had just said, she pursed her lips. Were the punishments at the B City base really this lenient? Did all people with superpowers just not die?
Those hundreds of people she killed were really unlucky. If they hadn't run into her, they might have been captured by the B City base and wouldn't have died.
A fleeting hint of sarcasm crossed Lin Ruo's face, but she didn't turn around and kill all the hunters of superhumans. The hundreds of superhumans she had killed earlier had already worn away the resentment in her heart, and she had no need to avenge those who were used for experiments.
Lin Ruo searched the entire B City base but found nothing related to the experiment, so she turned around and teleported away from the B City base.
The B City base is now nearly 200 kilometers away from Lin Ruo's fortress. Lin Ruo did not use teleportation continuously. Outside the 20-kilometer range of the B City base, she stopped and moved her fingertips slightly. The snow under her feet instantly rose up to form a flat area large enough for her to stand on. She stood on this "flat area," which suddenly moved forward rapidly, and Lin Ruo moved forward with it.
As Lin Ruo's mental strength increased, she became more adept at controlling her water-based abilities. Now, the snow was no different from water in her eyes. She could move freely on water, and she could do the same on the snow without any external aid.
The surrounding snow all fell around her, creating a vacuum around her, which was especially frightening in the pitch-black night. The mutated animals that came out to hunt at night would hide in the snow as soon as they saw her.
