"I've already told you, I'll confess to anything, what do you want from me?!"
The voice coming from behind trembled, but there was still an arrogance in it, which made people feel uncomfortable.
Lin Ruo ignored him completely, her steps unwavering. She wanted to show him just how fragile the base he had built was, and how she had destroyed it all.
As she walked forward, everyone she encountered, except for those with superpowers used for experiments and ordinary survivors, was doomed to die.
Along the way, she cared about nothing but killing. Apart from the two mutated black panther corpses she stored in her space, and the superpower crystals she dug out from the superpowered individuals, she didn't even blink at the crystals, supplies, underground ores, weapons, and potions of the Fog Shadow Base, and simply walked past them.
Huang Changqi had hoped that money would move her, but he didn't expect that she didn't care at all and didn't touch a single penny.
It is only now that I realize that the conditions he offered Lin Ruo before were not what she wanted at all.
The stench of blood grew stronger along the way. Lin Ruo fought his way up from the underwater base in just over ten minutes. Huang Changqi went from begging for mercy to cursing, then breaking down and wanting to die. In the end, he couldn't die, and his resistance was futile. A sense of powerlessness overwhelmed him, and his mental defenses collapsed. He even broke down and cried.
Lin Ruo didn't care about Huang Changqi's condition. Making him speak was something the B City base had to do. In a full half hour, Lin Ruo wiped out more than 10,000 people in the entire underwater base plus the Fog Shadow base above, leaving only the "experimental subjects" imprisoned in the laboratory and Huang Changqi beside her.
Many of these people were terrified and wanted to run away, but when they reached the city gate, they found that they couldn't get out at all. There was a transparent water membrane at the gate, trapping them all inside. Various supernatural attacks hit the thin water membrane, but the water membrane only trembled slightly, and even absorbed all these supernatural attacks into the water membrane, causing no damage.
This is also why Lin Ruo was so unhurried at the beginning. As soon as she entered the base, the water film had already risen, and at that moment, the fate of the entire base was already sealed.
Until the last person was slit in the throat by Lin Ruo's ice blade and fell to the ground, Huang Changqi fell silent. The entire base had become a dead city, and all his efforts had come to naught.
He closed his eyes. It was all over. All his efforts over the past four years in the apocalypse had been destroyed in an instant. Nothing was left.
He didn't even need to think about the fate of those experimental bases below. His headquarters had been slaughtered by Lin Ruo, so what good could possibly come of the people below?
Lin Ruo led Huang Changqi to sit down on a rock in the snow. She had rushed to several events today, and it was well past midnight. The surroundings were pitch black, without a single ray of light, and only the sound of the snow falling clearly reached their ears.
She was sitting here not for any other reason than to wait for the people at the B City base. Everyone at the base was dead, and she spared their lives as a sign of respect for her partners.
She was a little bored because the other person was moving so slowly, so she started chatting with the person next to her whose limbs were completely frozen.
"Have you thought it through? If you reveal who's behind this, you might still have a chance to survive. But if you insist that you're the ultimate boss, then no one can protect you."
Lin Ruo never believed that someone like Huang Changqi could be the final boss; he didn't have the brains or the ambition.
"Heh, you've killed everyone in the base, what's one more? Didn't you refuse to hear my confession?" Huang Changqi's face was full of sarcasm, his anger and resentment almost solidifying, his reason completely replaced. He had already forgotten how terrified he was when he witnessed Lin Ruo killing people.
Lin Ruo raised an eyebrow and looked at him. "I thought that since you witnessed so many deaths, you would have some understanding of my methods."
Huang Changqi doesn't seem like a tough nut to crack. If the B City base can't handle him, she might consider helping him out.
Huang Changqi's face stiffened. The ways those people had died were bizarre. He had never known that water systems could have so many uses. These people all had one thing in common: each of them died a painful death.
Just as he was about to speak, a loud roar suddenly came from the sky; it was the people from the B City base arriving.
...
Bright lights rapidly approached from afar, illuminating the surrounding darkness and sending a chill down Huang Changqi's spine, who had just been about to speak. This time, it wasn't just Lin Ruo acting alone; she had helpers as well. Wouldn't his chances of escaping be even slimmer?
Lin Ruo glanced at Huang Changqi, who seemed somewhat lost in thought, and said calmly, "The people from the B City base are here. You can have a proper explanation to them."
When Huang Changqi heard that the other party was from the B City base, he felt as if his heart was shattering, and all his hope was extinguished with a "poof".
He hadn't forgotten what he'd done; the weapon blueprints from the B City base were still in his arsenal, as were the drug formulas from the C City base...
If these people catch him, what good can come of it?
Just as Huang Changqi was feeling utterly hopeless, fighter jets from the B City base spotted them. The massive fighter jets began to land one after another, and the snowflakes on the ground were blown up by the strong wind, forming whirlpools.
Lin Ruo sat on the rock without moving. A Liu couldn't bear to see her master suffer, so she stretched out her willow branches and wrapped them into a shield in front of Lin Ruo to protect her from the strong winds and snowflakes.
Huang Changqi, who was suspended in the air by Lin Ruo, did not receive such treatment; he was completely submerged in the gale and whirlpool.
After the fighter jets landed, Huang Changqi's figure was revealed. He looked even more disheveled. Fortunately, he was a level 5 ability user. Although his ability was sealed by Lin Ruo, his physical condition was still quite good, so he was not injured by the strong wind just now.
A few seconds later, the fighter jet's hatch opened, and one after another, superhumans jumped off the aircraft. Leading them was a level 4 earth-type superhuman, who was tall and strong, and looked very composed.
He strode up to Lin Ruo with the other superhumans behind him, gently pressed his helmet against the back of his head, and the helmet immediately concealed itself. He stood there with his back to the light, saluted Lin Ruo, and said loudly, "Sister Ruo, my name is Jiang Chao, and I am the team leader for this operation. I am reporting to you now and request your instructions."
