In front of the unfinished central building, the usually highly respected base commander was kneeling in the snow, his body enveloped in the glow of his supernatural abilities. His normally dark face was now an unnatural white, and anyone could tell that something was wrong.
Upon seeing this scene, the newly arrived superhumans instinctively ran towards the base. However, as they moved, Lin Ruo's hand, which was playing with the ice blade, moved slightly.
The base commander immediately felt the pressure on him intensify. He knew this was Lin Ruo's warning, so he could only double his use of his special ability and shout to the people behind him, "Back off, don't come any closer."
The superhumans instinctively stopped in their tracks. "Base Commander, are you alright?"
After shouting those words, the base commander already felt he was about to collapse, and he had no energy left to answer them.
Only then did these superhumans look towards the center, at the foot of the central building under construction. The ground was piled high with all sorts of supplies, forming a mountain. They had never seen so many supplies before, and for a moment they couldn't quite process it. Why were there so many supplies here?
They then came to their senses, because there were dozens of superhumans next to the supplies, each of them in a very strange posture. Normally, they would not be able to maintain their balance in such a posture, but they were strangely frozen in place, not moving at all.
The most conspicuous figure was the woman in black standing in the middle. She stood there calmly, her face devoid of any emotion, yet she sent chills down their spines. A strong sense of crisis washed over them, and they involuntarily lowered their heads, no longer daring to look at her.
Just as they expected, Lin Ruo had arrived. She had come to seek revenge. Several of the superhumans were so shocked that their legs trembled, fearing that Lin Ruo might kill them all in a fit of anger.
The base commander suddenly felt the pressure around him decrease significantly. He realized Lin Ruo's intention.
"These supplies were left to our base by Sister Ruo. Although our base made a mistake, Sister Ruo is willing to give our base a chance."
Although the base commander of the East China base was still kneeling on the ground, he was very imposing and immediately began to explain in a deep voice.
"From now on, no one in the East China base is allowed to mess with Sister Ruo, understand?"
These people all showed expressions of astonishment. Was Lin Ruo really such a good-natured person? Their base had taken in these people, which meant they were now on the opposite side of her, and yet she still left them supplies?
Lin Ruo hated this kind of moral blackmail the most, and her brows furrowed slightly. "Don't flatter me. Your base leader is responsible for the problems at your base. He bought these supplies with his own life."
"Base Commander!"
Upon hearing this, the people's eyes reddened. They turned to look at Lin Ruo and immediately wanted to kneel down before her, but the surrounding snow immediately enveloped them, making them unable to move.
For a moment, their faces froze, thinking that Lin Ruo had changed her mind and wanted to kill them too.
The base commander immediately reprimanded these people, "What are you doing! This was all my fault, and this is the best outcome. I let you in just to make it clear that you are not allowed to cause trouble for Sister Ruo in the future."
Lin Ruo watched as this person calmly pleaded for these people. She had let them in only to let them see the strength of both sides, so that even if they wanted revenge, they would think twice.
The tacit understanding developed after the apocalypse allowed these people to understand the look in the eyes of the East China Base Chief. They knew that his death was inevitable, since they had provoked Lin Ruo and had already considered the consequences. Now, they had only used his life to resolve the matter, and with so many supplies, they had already made a profit.
If they provoke Lin Ruo again, she might get annoyed and their entire base might have to disappear.
Although these superhumans looked grief-stricken, they all lowered their heads and didn't say another word, which was considered an admission of guilt.
Only then did Lin Ruo turn to deal with the ability users who were controlled by the ice lines. These ice lines were made of ice, and even if they burrowed into their bodies and didn't move, the cold air on them would continue to spread outwards. Their flesh and blood naturally couldn't resist such cold air, and their lungs and internal organs had already been frostbitten by the extremely low temperature.
So by this time, the faces of these dozens of people had turned purple, and if you looked closely, you could see that their bodies were trembling slightly. They all had their heads drooping and were barely breathing.
Lin Ruo's eyes flickered, and his water-based superpower was activated again. The ice lines that had been resting in their bodies immediately began to grow outward like vines. The lifeless bodies of these people immediately began to tremble and writhe in pain, and their faces, which had been purple, turned completely red.
"Ouch! It hurts! Please have mercy on me, I beg you, I'll never do it again."
The pleas for mercy did nothing to stop the growth of the ice threads. Within seconds, fine, hair-like ice threads sprouted from the bodies of these people. The ice threads grew longer and longer, spreading across them like living things. Their bodies gradually withered, and they slowly shriveled up as if the ice threads had drained their nutrients.
Their eyes widened in agony, their mouths agape, as if their souls were being ripped from their bodies; their bodies were contorted in extreme pain.
Dozens of people were in the same state. Those around them were so frightened that they couldn't say a word. When they heard that Lin Ruo had killed someone, they didn't think anything of it.
But when they witness such deaths firsthand, they can even feel the pain of those people, and at such times, death is definitely a relief.
The scene was absolutely chilling, and the wailing, like the cries of ghosts, made everyone's hearts tremble, leaving a very deep impression on everyone present.
Once there was no more moisture left in these people's bodies, the ice threads finally stopped growing, and at this point, the corpses, like dried-up mummy covered in white hair, floated silently in the air.
Lin Ruo watched these people turn into this state without changing her expression. Once they were silent, she beckoned to the mummified corpses. The white, hair-like ice threads immediately retracted into the corpses, dug out the crystal cores from their brains, and brought them to Lin Ruo.
Looking at the water spheres wrapped around the crystal cores floating in the air, everyone present couldn't help but marvel at how amazing Lin Ruo's water-based abilities were! To this day, no one with water or ice abilities has the same control over them.
When Lin Ruo first rose to fame, they were in awe of these water-type ability users, fearing they would become the next Lin Ruo. However, to their surprise, these people's water-type abilities were very weak. Some could only provide drinking water and didn't even have any offensive power.
Gradually, they realized that the type of superpower didn't matter; as long as they had this abnormal level of control, even the weakest superpower could become so powerful.
