"What! Young Master went out on his yacht and hasn't returned yet?!"
In an office on the top floor of the Huasheng Building in City B, a middle-aged man in military uniform slammed his hand on the table, glaring angrily at the bodyguard opposite him who had his head bowed.
He took a deep breath to calm himself down, his eyes darkening. "Tell me the details of what happened."
"Yes!" The bodyguard dared to raise his head and said in a steady tone, "Sir, the young master only said that he was taking Miss Zhou out for some fun, but he didn't say where they were going. At that time, Ah Kun also selected five people to follow the young master."
"It's Zhou Qing again! I knew that woman was no pushover!"
Li Weiguo was having a terrible headache. Li Haoxuan was his son born late in life, and he had spoiled him a bit. These days, he had been busy with the military's base construction and had neglected him. In the blink of an eye, the kid had disappeared.
"Go find him! You must find the young master!"
"Yes!" The bodyguard acknowledged the order and left the office.
Li Weiguo stood up and walked to the French windows. The torrential rain outside was hitting the glass, making a crackling sound. The downpour caught everyone off guard. All government officials evacuated immediately, and then began to collect supplies and information from all sides... They were extremely busy.
As the second-in-command of the military in City B, he naturally knew a lot about the situation outside. After more than two months of torrential rain, the world order outside had already collapsed.
At this time, to still flaunt his yacht and go out like this is like Tang Sanzang entering a den of monsters, and who knows how many people are plotting against him.
Now the circuits and networks are completely out of order, and even the satellites in the sky are unusable due to a strange electromagnetic wave. Finding someone is like looking for a needle in a haystack.
Li Weiguo stood in front of the floor-to-ceiling window, his hands behind his back, his eyes looking out at the dark Ye Hong. Now he could only hope that the kid was safe and sound.
After a long while, he returned to his desk and picked up the base construction blueprints that the experts had meticulously calculated and designed. The construction location had not yet been determined, and everything would have to wait until the rainstorm ended before it could be implemented.
A dark glint flashed in his eyes; the complete collapse of social order might present him with an opportunity.
The next morning, Lin Ruo was unaware that someone was searching the whole world for Li Haoxuan, and that she was currently at a critical moment.
During her regular training today, she overexerted her mental energy as usual. While she was recovering with a crystal core, an opportunity to upgrade her water-based superpower suddenly arrived.
Lin Ruo only had time to take out a pile of crystal cores from her spatial storage. She placed herself in the pile of crystal cores, and the energy in the crystal cores was mobilized by Lin Ruo's overflowing spiritual power, rushing rapidly towards Lin Ruo's body.
Lin Ruo felt as if she were in the middle of a hundred-meter-deep sea, drifting with the current.
The water kept rushing into her body, gathering inside her, becoming more and more abundant, until it was fuller and fuller.
Just as she felt her body was about to burst, the water began to spread throughout her body, washing over her. The whole process was exceptionally comfortable, and Lin Ruo quickly became immersed in it.
Time passed second by second. In reality, Lin Ruo sat cross-legged in the second bedroom, her whole body frozen inside a huge block of ice.
The ice was extremely cold, and even with Afu and Ashou's physical abilities, they couldn't get within three meters. They could only anxiously pace back and forth in the distance.
"Knock knock knock!"
There was a knock at the door. Ah Shou, exuding a fierce aura, barked loudly at the door, "Woof woof woof!"
The knocking stopped immediately. After yesterday's battle, Afu and Ashou had become well-known in Building 3.
If at the beginning some people still coveted their flesh, now when people see them, they wish they could dig a hole in the ground and disappear into it, avoiding them as far away as possible.
Hearing Ah Shou's shouts, the people outside stopped knocking and quickly left.
The ice on Lin Ruo's body lasted for a whole day before slowly cracking from the inside. At this time, all the crystal cores around her were reduced to shells, and all the energy had been absorbed by her.
When the ice disappeared, a foul stench filled the room. Lin Ruo sniffed and opened her eyes.
A white light flashed in one eye and a blue light in the other. The light was fleeting, and the spatial and water energies in her body finally reached balance again.
Lin Ruo breathed a sigh of relief, feeling very happy. Then she noticed that Afu and Ashou were standing far away from her and couldn't help but wonder, "What's wrong? Don't you recognize me?"
As she spoke, a foul stench filled her nose. "Ugh!"
Lin Ruo covered her nose, pointed at the two of them, and frowned, saying, "Did you two poop in the house? Didn't I tell you you needed to go to the toilet?"
"Woof woof!" Ah Shou barked twice at her, then turned his back to her.
Afu also let out a "woof" at her, and the fact that he didn't turn his back on her was the greatest expression of his love for her.
Lin Ruo then realized something was wrong. The stench was coming from her. She looked down and saw that her clothes were soaked with a black, oily substance, and the smell was coming from it!
"ah!"
Lin Ruo rushed into the bathroom at lightning speed, but when she got to the bathroom door, she realized something was wrong. She looked back at the distance from before and wondered why she was moving so fast.
With a puzzled look in her eyes, she was about to pull the doorknob to close the door when she suddenly yanked the doorknob off.
Lin Ruo: "???!!!"
She looked at the doorknob in her hand in surprise; she hadn't used any force.
She couldn't worry about anything else at the moment. She could only slowly close the door, brace herself on the bathtub, and try to fill it with warm water. Then she heard a "crack" and fell forward.
She quickly steadied herself and then saw that a piece of the edge of the bathtub had fallen off, which was exactly where she had been bracing herself.
