The water flow slowly opened the backpack behind Lin Ruo, and the crystal cores were carried into the backpack one by one by the water flow. The obedient water flow then dissipated in the air without wetting the backpack.
When she turned to look at the base commander of the East China base, although he knew the outcome, he still couldn't help but move his body slightly after seeing the miserable state of those people. A hint of emotion appeared in his eyes as he looked at Lin Ruo.
He was truly terrified. He had thought it was just a matter of dying, but after seeing Lin Ruo's methods, he realized that dying could be such a blissful thing, and that dying was far too painful.
Seeing the man's actions, Lin Ruo couldn't help but smile. "What? Scared?"
The man gritted his teeth and shook his head. "I'm not afraid."
At this moment, the superhumans behind him all turned red-eyed. They gritted their teeth and kept reminding themselves not to act impulsively, because impulsiveness would only bring greater losses.
Lin Ruo looked at these people and couldn't help but sneer inwardly. They were just enduring the pain, but not one of them was willing to step forward and die for this person. She shook her head inwardly. What was the use of this person's sacrifice? In the end, all he got was a few tears. He probably wouldn't even survive the seven-day mourning period before being completely forgotten by these people. What was the point?
Lin Ruo felt no sympathy for such a person, nor would she let him go; it wasn't worth it.
With a thought, the man who had been gritting his teeth and closing his eyes to wait for her to suffer suddenly stiffened and fell backward. His crystal core then burst out of his body and flew to Lin Ruo's side.
Lin Ruo looked at the cyan crystal core in front of her, which was gradually losing its luster, picked it up, and put it into her backpack.
No one present expected the base commander to die so quickly. They hadn't even reacted when he fell, letting his body fall to the ground.
By the time these people realized what was happening and were holding the body and weeping, Lin Ruo had already spread her wings and flown into the sky, and the transparent water film shattered as a result.
"I've settled the accounts with your East China base."
After she finished speaking, the huge wings on her back flapped, and she rose vertically, then flew away rapidly into the distance.
From the base below, loud cries immediately rang out, "Base Commander!"
Lin Ruo raised her hand and glanced at the terminal. It was already 3:30 pm, and it would be dark in two hours. She needed to hurry back, but she didn't need to be in such a rush as when she came.
On the way back, she could also maximize her mental power to search for any trace of those experimental bases along the way. If there were any, she could take care of them.
She was completely enveloped in a film of water, and the snowflakes, which were like ice blades, slapped against the water film but could not touch Lin Ruo's body at all.
An hour later, Lin Ruo's wrist terminal rang; it was a message from Jiang Yue.
"Sister Ruo, I heard you went to the East China base? Congratulations on finally getting rid of those blind fools this time."
Lin Ruo glanced at it but didn't reply.
Every time she went somewhere, the news spread faster than she could get home. If it weren't for that, she wouldn't have had to clean up those experimental bases and cooperate with the base in City B.
As she was thinking, Jiang Yue's message came through the terminal again: "Zhu Zhengzhong has confessed. We have obtained the specific coordinates and should be setting off in an hour. Sister Ruo, can you make it back in time?"
Lin Ruo immediately estimated her current distance from City B, which was still over 800 kilometers. She typed two words on her terminal: "Okay."
After sending the message, Lin Ruo's aura immediately surged to its peak, and she vanished from the sky. She still needed to combine teleportation and flight to reach City B within an hour.
Forty minutes later, Lin Ruo appeared above her mountain peak. She had used up a significant portion of her supernatural power, leaving her with about 50% remaining.
But instead of rushing to the base in City B, she returned home. Her four family members had sensed her presence early on and were already prepared to welcome her.
But Lin Ruo only landed on the platform, turned to the giant willow tree next to her and said, "Ah Liu, come with me for a bit."
Upon hearing this, Afu and Ashou, who had been facing Lin Ruo with their ears perked up and tails wagging, immediately pounced on her, rubbing against her legs and making whimpering noises, trying to be pitiful and hoping she would take them with her.
However, Ah Liu, who was filling a pot for herself, grabbed her by the neck with two willow branches and threw her aside. If her owner changed his mind, she wouldn't be able to go. This was definitely not acceptable, as she had been looking forward to this opportunity for a long time.
It quickly took its little flowerpot and scurried into Lin Ruo's backpack, hiding itself inside and refusing to come out, afraid that Lin Ruo would soften her heart and change her mind.
Lin Ruo sighed helplessly. When Afu and Ashou ran back, she said to them and Lao Bai, "This time it's not just me, there are others too. It's too difficult now and it's getting dark. I'm not at home, so the safety of our mountain is in the hands of the three of you. Take good care of the house. I'll take you out to play next time."
Ah Fu and Ah Shou reluctantly lowered their heads, nodded their big heads, and helplessly accepted reality.
Old Bai never thought Lin Ruo would take it out unless they were moving. Since there was no hope, he wasn't disappointed. Upon hearing Lin Ruo's instructions, he immediately agreed happily.
They knew that Aru was also leveling up, and they should stay to guard the house, but they were unhappy because their owner couldn't take them with him.
Lin Ruo patted Afu and Ashou's heads reassuringly. She knew she didn't have much time left. She turned around, activated her spatial domain, and teleported away.
Jiang Yue stood in front of the large fighter jet, with the prepared team behind him. There were only a little over a hundred people going this time, each of them the most powerful superhumans in the base. They would travel the entire way by fighter jet. Although the number of mutated beasts had decreased sharply, they still had to be careful on such a long journey to avoid being attacked by aerial mutated beasts. In addition, with this blizzard, it was safer to use fighter jets.
