Once she emerged from the ground, she realized that she was now far from her mountain peak. Come to think of it, she had used teleportation so many times underground, each time covering tens of kilometers, that she must have been far from her original location.
She used her mental energy to try and determine her surroundings so she could teleport home, but unexpectedly discovered the superhuman hiding behind the snow.
These superhumans cleared several hundred meters of clear land from the surrounding snow, which was dozens of meters thick, and set up tents in the snow-covered area, seemingly intending to stay overnight.
Lin Ruo scanned the helicopters behind these people with her mental energy and confirmed that these were the same superhumans she had encountered earlier. How did they get here so quickly?
These superhumans all looked rather dejected. Although they hadn't used up much of their powers, their faces were unusually dark. Lin Ruo glanced around and immediately guessed what was going on. She curled her lips into a smile. When they flew the helicopter to the B City base, she thought there would be a conflict and a good show to watch. But it turned out they were a bunch of cowards who were scared away before they even made a move.
Curious, she took advantage of the fact that the people's vision was blocked by the snow and they hadn't noticed her presence. She added a layer of invisibility water film to herself, and a teleported person appeared in this open space, standing in the spatial rift to eavesdrop.
A circle of tents was set up in the open space, and a fire was lit in each tent. Only two superhuman guards were left outside, while the others warmed themselves by the fire inside the tents.
"No, we were just kicked out like this. How are we supposed to go back and hand in the mission? Our base commander specifically told me to bring the person back, but I haven't even seen them yet."
"Who isn't? But this time, the B City base is making it clear that it's going to stick to its principles. Who dares to stand up to it head-on?"
"I heard that not only the B City base, but now the C City base has also been sealed off. I don't know what's going on, there must be some conspiracy we don't know about."
"These two bases have always been at the forefront of all bases, and there must be a reason why they are doing this. Let's wait and see here."
Lin Ruo raised an eyebrow and stopped listening after hearing that. These people knew nothing, and it was a waste of her time to stay here. In a flash, she had already teleported several kilometers away.
Upon reaching a distance, she subtly moved her fingertips, instantly shattering the cloaking water membrane covering her body and revealing her figure. A pair of water-like wings appeared on her back, which flapped twice in the air before she took to the sky.
When she got home, it was already 1 p.m. After resting for a short while, she turned around and went back into the training room. The afternoon training was not yet finished, so she took advantage of the time before it was time to recover her superpowers.
Sitting on the futon in the training room, Lin Ruo didn't start cultivating immediately. Instead, she thought about what those people had said earlier. Now that the C City base was also sealed off, did they know something? Or had they also lost something?
These people already have the weapon blueprints for the B City base. Lin Ruo narrowed his eyes slightly. If they were to get those medicine formulas as well, the power behind them would inevitably grow very rapidly.
She took out a tablet from her spatial storage. The tablet contained a world map that Lin Ruo had downloaded before the apocalypse. Her finger slowly swept across the map of Country Z, passing over all the places she had been. When she went to these places, she would maximize her mental power to make it easier to find the escaped rats. If there were any secret bases below, they would not escape her search.
Looking at the places she hadn't been to before, she frowned slightly, then tossed the tablet into her spatial storage and began her intensive afternoon of cultivation.
...
Hidden deep within a dark mountain is a small base. If Lin Ruo were here, he would surely find that the structure of this base is exactly the same as the base in the western mountain of City B.
At this moment, everyone in the base was on high alert, especially the experimental personnel.
The experiments at this base are very different from those at the previous base; their laboratories are filled with experimental instruments and reagents.
This experimental area is over a thousand square meters in size, with dozens of beds. Each bed, which can only accommodate one person lying down, is filled with experimental subjects who are all equipped with superpowers.
These superhumans are all still alive, their faces showing extreme pain, which shows how uncomfortable the tubes inserted into their bodies are. They want to end their lives and no longer suffer like this, but they can't even do that now.
During this time, many researchers moved around the bedsides, holding tablets and focusing on recording the data from the experimental instruments. Once the data of a test subject reached the predicted value, the next step of the experiment would begin.
"How about it?"
A man in a white lab coat walked into the laboratory surrounded by several superhumans. He was of medium height and thin, with graying temples, and looked quite old. His excessively pale face was covered by a pair of gold-rimmed glasses, but his eyes behind the glasses rarely showed any human emotions.
He is Fang Minglei, the head of this laboratory.
When the experimenters below saw him, they froze, and none of them dared to utter a sound.
The experimental data was not ideal. It is very likely that none of these dozens of superhumans will survive, meaning that these dozens of lives have been wasted.
Seeing the people with their heads bowed, Fang Minglei already knew the outcome. His brows furrowed tightly, and his already pale face became even paler.
