The central building under construction had rubble and debris scattered all over the ground, but the surrounding area was not dirty or messy. Occasionally, some pieces of gravel would fall from above and hit the ground with a "bang".
The onlookers below stood far away, afraid of being accidentally injured by the rubble.
As the central building grew taller and taller, the base commander of the East China base felt increasingly powerless. These people were used to enjoying themselves in their own base, and even when they escaped, they brought space-type ability users with them. All the supplies were now in the spaces of these space-type ability users. The days of hiding outside were not too difficult, but now that they were in the base, they would naturally become even more unruly.
Thinking of this, he lowered his eyes slightly. There were quite a few supplies brought into the space of the spatial ability users. In their eyes, they were probably just moving storage boxes. Because they had no offensive capabilities, even if these supplies were in their space, they would not dare to resist in the slightest, let alone escape.
“You’re not unaware that the B City base has been making some big moves recently, and the B City base has a very good relationship with Lin Ruo. If your whereabouts are discovered by the B City base, do you think they will keep it a secret from you?”
The base commander of the East China base really wanted to pry open these people's brains to see if they were a complete mess. Why couldn't they just hide properly? They were always complaining about this and that, and even went so far as to renovate the central building.
For a base like theirs, is it reasonable to have such a central building standing out conspicuously among a row of low stone houses? How could fighter jets and helicopters not see it when they fly over their base? It's hard to guarantee that the B City base won't notice.
Those people were getting annoyed by what the base chief was saying. "We've bribed an inside man in the B City base. If there's any news, we'll definitely receive it."
The base commander of the East China base felt slightly relieved upon hearing this, but none of them had considered the purpose of the city-wide lockdown of City B. Their so-called inside agent had already been identified two days prior, and by now, his body was probably already ashes.
Lin Ruo stood silently beside these people, in a spatial rift, completely covered by her water membrane.
Hearing their conversation, she began to suspect that the mysterious person hadn't been able to provide her with their coordinates because there was an inside man.
If that's the case, then she can lock this person's identity within the management of the B City base. She raised her hand and touched her chin. What exactly is this person after?
Unable to come up with anything, Lin Ruo stopped wasting her brain cells and instantly enveloped the surroundings with her mental energy, while also fully expanding her spatial domain.
The next moment, she appeared behind these people silently. It was the base chief, whose ability level was relatively high, who noticed the strange aura behind him in advance and turned around immediately, only to meet Lin Ruo's eyes.
Base Commander "..."
The two remained silent for a moment. The people in front also sensed something was wrong and turned around alertly. When they saw Lin Ruo's highly recognizable face, their first reaction was to run away in different directions.
Lin Ruo raised the corners of her mouth slightly, thinking that if they ran away in different directions, she would be too busy to catch them all.
She raised her hand to mid-air, and with a flick of her fingertips, large flakes of snow instantly formed chains emanating icy air, which flew towards those people in the blink of an eye.
Before they could catch their breath, the chains were wrapped around their bodies. Dozens of chains snapped taut instantly, pulling them down from mid-air.
Although these people fell from mid-air, they did not give up hope. They turned around and threw their superpowers at Lin Ruo. Various colors of superpower light emerged one after another, without caring that there was still a person standing next to Lin Ruo who had not moved. They all used their most powerful attack superpowers to attack Lin Ruo.
Ice spikes, fire dragons, tornadoes, metal arrows, earth-based entangling spells...
Lin Ruo stood still without any intention of moving. Her eyes narrowed, and two ice blades instantly materialized in the air beside her. These ice blades were about 10 meters long. As soon as they appeared, they slashed at the supernatural attacks in the air, each slash carrying the power to tear through space.
The East China Base Commander, standing to the side, stared wide-eyed. This was the first time he had ever seen Lin Ru fight like this. Faced with such an overwhelming attack, she didn't dodge but directly confronted it head-on.
Then an even more astonished expression appeared on his face. The two ice blades effortlessly shattered these supernatural attacks. The ice blades then shattered and instantly transformed into tiny ice shards, which were in front of the supernatural beings in an instant. They hovered menacingly over the vital points of these people, and the sharp ice shards continued to spin, slowly approaching them.
Those who had just been unleashing their fury on Lin Ruo now stared intently at the ice shards pressed tightly against their bodies, their faces deathly pale, not daring to make a single rash move.
They had just tried it; these icicles were much faster than them.
Although the base commander wasn't being pointed at by the icicles, he could feel the murderous aura emanating from them, and he couldn't help but shiver, then goosebumps rose on his skin.
After subduing the dozens of people who were trying to escape, Lin Ruo looked at the person beside her who was not moving and asked with some curiosity, "Why didn't you run? Did you think I wouldn't kill you?"
Facing Lin Ruo's eyes, this man, though his heart was at peace, couldn't help but feel a moment of fear. He saw no emotion in her eyes, even though she had a curious expression on her face; there was only indifference in her eyes.
It was as if she was pointing not at a person, but at a piece of lifeless pork with the icicle.
This realization sent a chill down his spine. Just how many people had he killed to be so indifferent to life? Thinking of what had happened at the Qinglin Base, his tension lessened considerably, and his gaze toward Lin Ruo became more relaxed.
"Don't even mention that I can't escape from you; even if I could, I wouldn't."
