As Lin Ruo watched the helicopters leave, he had a pretty good idea of their purpose. The B City base didn't just have people from the B City base itself; there were also people from other bases.
The sudden ban, without revealing the true purpose, is understandably causing anxiety among those outside. Judging from their aggressive demeanor just now, they're probably going to the B City base to demand an explanation.
"Tsk."
Lin Ruo clicked her tongue lightly, then shook her head. It was a pity that Ye Lin and the others were all holding their breath and probably hated the traitor who stole the weapon blueprints. Otherwise, they wouldn't have used such an extreme method to find him.
The more trouble we cause at the B City base, the more bad luck we'll incur. No matter how good-tempered this lion is, it's still a lion. If we anger these hyenas around it, who are always looking to steal a bite of meat, what good will it do?
These people will definitely be thoroughly subdued if they go there. Although she already foresaw the outcome, the process will surely be interesting. It's just a pity that she still has things to finish, otherwise she would definitely go and see what's going on.
With a helpless shrug, she knew she couldn't change her plans just to join in the fun. She activated her spatial domain and disappeared underground in the next instant.
...
As Lin Ruo had predicted, before these helicopters even reached within 15 kilometers of the B City base, fighter jets from the B City base had already taken off, with more than a dozen fighter jets circling around the helicopters.
The fighter jets' cannons were pointed directly at the helicopters without hesitation, their dark muzzles exuding a powerful sense of oppression.
"Listen up, helicopters over there. You have one minute to land 15 kilometers away from the base. If you miss the time limit, we'll open fire."
After surrounding the helicopters, a cold, hard voice came from the lead fighter jet. If these people knew the B City base well enough, they would recognize it as Jiang Yue's voice.
Even though the helicopter was full of people with superpowers, they were still intimidated by the sight of such a scene. Their morale, which had already been dampened by Lin Ruo, was now extinguished like a flame doused with water.
Ultimately, with little time to spare, they had no choice but to quickly land 15 kilometers away from the B City base.
When these superhumans stepped out of the helicopter, they saw the dark, gaping cannon barrel looming in front of them. They knew this was a crystal energy cannon newly developed by the B City base. They didn't know its power, but it was definitely more than enough to take them down.
Jiang Yue and his group also disembarked from the fighter jet. They were wearing the base's latest combat suits, which were full-coverage and had the same overall style as before. However, the material was plant fiber from advanced mutated plants, which had a strong resistance to supernatural attacks and was very thin, so it would not affect their movements.
However, such materials are extremely rare, especially now that most mutated plants are dormant, so there aren't many such equipment in the B City base.
These superhumans originally thought they could still intimidate the person coming down with their abilities, but they sensed that the person, despite not having any superhuman abilities, was faintly emanating the aura of a high-level mutated plant. There was nothing more to it than that the B City base had developed new equipment.
All they could think of at that moment was cursing. The laboratory at the B City base was incredibly fast, producing such equipment so quickly that even they, the superhumans, felt completely insecure.
Not understanding the purpose of the equipment, and even sensing that the soldiers on the other side did not possess any supernatural abilities, they dared not act rashly. Moreover, they had not come here to make enemies, so they could not start a fight right away.
"Regardless of which base you are from, the B City base is now under complete lockdown. Please return the way you came."
Upon hearing this, the previously restrained superhumans immediately exploded. They had already seen Lin Ruo's weakness on the road, and now they were being targeted by this crystal energy cannon. Anyone would break down.
"Your B City base is going too far. We just wanted to take our base's ability users back, is that really necessary?"
"That's right. You detained our base's people without cause, and now you're threatening us with force. We are allies in the trade, not enemies!"
Among these ability users, a level 4 metal-type ability user stepped forward. He was wearing a light down jacket, and his well-fitting clothes indicated that he held a high position in the base.
But Jiang Yue's expression under his helmet didn't change much, and his voice through the helmet remained as cold as ever, "No one is allowed to leave the base until the lockdown is lifted."
"If you haven't done anything to harm the B City base, your people will naturally be able to walk out of the base unharmed, so you can rest assured."
Their attitude was so forceful that these people gritted their teeth, and the leader of the superhumans looked particularly grim. Since upgrading to level 4, no one had ever spoken to him in such a rude tone.
"you!"
Jiang Yue looked at the superhuman and said, "I'll give you five minutes. If you don't leave, then stay here."
As he spoke, he looked down at the terminal on his wrist, timing it, giving them no time to object.
As he finished speaking, the soldiers standing beside him, dressed in the same combat uniforms, all aimed their long standard-issue crystal energy guns at these superhumans. The crystal energy cannons on the fighter jets also slightly adjusted their direction, their intimidation clearly evident.
