Fighter jets are much faster than helicopters, and they arrived near their destination in just over an hour.
Sensing the fighter jet's speed decreasing, Lin Ruo immediately opened her eyes, and her powerful mental energy spread out, bringing to mind everything within a 20-kilometer radius.
There was a high mountain more than ten kilometers ahead of the fighter jet. The mountain was very high and very steep. In some places, the snow could not be held, and in other places, the snow was very thick, making it feel like there was no place to step. In such an environment, this kind of terrain was particularly dangerous.
Their target base this time is located inside this mountain. They hollowed out the center of the entire mountain and built the base inside the mountain. The outer mountain became a protective barrier for them, which is somewhat similar to the one in City B before.
Because of the great distance, Lin Ruo's mental power was not enough to fully understand the situation in the base, so he needed to get closer.
At this moment, the fighter jet landed silently on the ground. Everyone got off the fighter jet. Chen Yu looked at Lin Ruo and said, "The target is 18 kilometers to the east."
Lin Ruo nodded, and Jiang Yue handed her a signal device, pointing to the red button on it, "When you need to send a signal, press this red button towards the sky, and we will receive the message."
Lin Ruo took it, and under everyone's gaze, she activated the water membrane, and her entire body immediately disappeared.
The more than one hundred ability users around were startled at the same time. The mental ability users in the group couldn't help but use their mental power to check Lin Ruo's location. They could sense Lin Zhong'an and the others before, but they really couldn't find Lin Ruo's whereabouts.
Jiang Yue looked at all of this as if it were perfectly normal, while Chen Yu looked at the highest-level mental ability user in the group. The ability user seemed to understand the meaning in Chen Yu's eyes, and he shook his head almost imperceptibly.
Chen Yu's gaze paused slightly, then he turned his head and squatted down in the snow, slowly waiting for the signal.
Although Lin Ruo was covered by a layer of water film, she still activated her spatial domain, moving entirely within the spatial crevices. She knew how cautious the people in this base were, and she couldn't afford to be careless like last time.
She quickly arrived at the foot of the mountain. She probed the base with her mental energy. The mountain walls outside the base were several kilometers thick. The base was quite large. Lin Ruo's mental energy could not reach the boundary of the base, nor could she find the location of the base's gate.
She used teleportation again, instantly passing through a mountain wall several kilometers thick, and in the blink of an eye, she appeared at the edge of the base.
After entering, she used her mental energy to scan her surroundings and found that she was currently located on the lowest level of the base. This area was full of ordinary survivors of the base, and there were some basic housing facilities. The living conditions were somewhat rudimentary, and it should be the "slum" of the base.
She moved swiftly through the floor, her mental energy scanning the surroundings like a searchlight, and sure enough, she found no trace of the base's office building or laboratory.
Lin Ruo teleported away again and searched upwards, floor by floor, until she crossed three floors and finally found her target on the top floor.
This floor is located at the very top of the bases below. It is not large and contains only some main facilities, with the rest being the base's office building, base laboratory, and base warehouse.
Li Rao sat in her office, a cigarette between her fingers, her brows furrowed. She had just received a message from the organization, instructing them to accelerate the pace of their experiments. But with the current climate so tense, where was she supposed to find test subjects? It was easy for the higher-ups to say such things without considering the consequences.
Fang Minglei, who had been called over and also looked worried, sat on the sofa next to her, holding the latest experimental report in his hand. The previous batch of experimental subjects had all been lost, and if there was no more supply of experimental subjects, the experiment would have to be suspended.
"You should think of a solution," Fang Minglei said, looking at the silent Li Rao. "The higher-ups keep urging us to increase the precision of the experiments, and we're out of test subjects. Should we go and catch another batch?"
Li Rao took a deep drag on her cigarette. "Arrest? Where to arrest? If we go now, we'll just be waiting to be dealt with. What's the news about the person we planted at the B City base? What was the purpose of the B City lockdown in the first place?"
Fang Minglei's tightly furrowed brows relaxed slightly when this was mentioned. "That person said that the B City base was conducting a self-inspection, and basically all the ability users had been investigated."
"Why are you conducting a self-inspection?" Li Rao turned to look at Fang Minglei.
Fang Minglei shook his head, "He is not a key member of the base now, so he doesn't have the authority to know about such things."
Li Rao frowned. Zhu Zhengzhong was the base chief of Qiyuan Base before. After the two bases merged, he didn't even have the right to know. He was simply a useless person.
But it was precisely this useless person who was able to steal the weapon blueprints from the B City base, because he had no superpowers and therefore wouldn't arouse suspicion.
Thinking about this, her restlessness intensified, making her somewhat uneasy. "I always feel that something is wrong. I'm always very agitated, as if something is about to happen, but I don't know where it's coming from."
Fang Minglei noticed that Li Rao was unusually irritable today, and something seemed off, but he didn't think much of it. He just sighed, "You don't need to be so sensitive. Even if they're going to investigate, they won't investigate us first. There are so many experimental bases, and we're so far away from City B. Why would they pick us?"
"Your agitation is probably due to orders from above. We can't remain completely inactive, or if the organization finds out, we might both lose our lives."
Li Rao didn't even look at Fang Minglei. Sometimes, the intuition of people with superpowers is very accurate. There must be a reason for her irritability, but it is also possible, as Fang Minglei said, that it is because of the orders issued by the organization.
Just then, a look of terror appeared on their faces. Their bodies were completely immobilized, and they could no longer use their superpowers. Then, Lin Ruo's figure slowly appeared in front of them.
The two men's pupils constricted upon seeing Lin Ruo's familiar attire, their hearts filled with terror. It was her! How did she get in!
