Do you think I'm afraid of dying now?
These words sounded particularly clear in the closed cell, and coupled with Huang Changqi's indifferent facial expression, it was hard to tell how much of his statement was just bluff.
Ye Lin remained silent, and the atmosphere instantly plummeted to freezing point. A few seconds later, Chen Yu sneered and waved to the several superhumans behind him. These men stepped forward and dragged Huang Changqi out of the cell, heading straight for the interrogation room.
"Whether you're afraid of death or not, you'll find out once you try."
Ye Lin did not stop them. The person was already in their hands. If the interrogation was led by the nose by the criminal, they were destined to get no information.
Chen Yu remained in the interrogation room, while Ye Lin led Jiang Yue and the other ability users out of the dungeon.
"What do you think he wants to do by restoring his limbs?" Ye Lin finally asked the question that had been bothering him all the way back to his office.
Jiang Yue also dropped the persona he had in the prison cell. His previous behavior was just to trick Huang Changqi. "He definitely wanted to increase his bargaining power. The information we found in the Fog Shadow Base was very detailed. I read through all of it carefully. It's clear at a glance what the base chief did and didn't do."
"But we haven't found answers to many of our previous questions."
Ye Lin's eyes were deep, and his tone was certain, "The Fog Shadow Base has been found, but there are still problems that haven't been solved, which means that this is not the last stop. There is someone behind Huang Changqi."
Jiang Yue nodded, "I think this is also the main reason why Sister Ruo kept this person."
"The reason this person is in such a hurry to heal himself is firstly to make it easier for him to escape, and secondly, it may be related to the people behind him."
Ye Lin rubbed his temples. "You and Chen Yu must keep a close eye on this person."
"Um."
...
"Awoo!"
"Awoo!"
The roars of tigers grew louder and louder as they echoed from the mountaintop. The roars carried far and wide, causing not only the mutated animals on Linruo Mountain to raise their heads and look in that direction, but also the mutated animals that were near the mountain to consciously hide themselves.
Lin Ruo sat at home eating the dessert she had just made. She hadn't had sweets in a long time, so she made herself a fruit pudding during her lunch break.
The roars of the tigers outside grew clearer and stronger, but the remaining tigers at home remained as steady as Mount Tai. Afu and Ashou lay leisurely on the ground, completely unaffected by the roars.
Lin Ruo was already used to it; A Lu was indirectly claiming territory. When the tiger's roar spread to a certain area, it became his territory.
Even before the apocalypse, adult tigers had territories of thousands of square kilometers, let alone a tiger of Aru's current level, whose territory is no longer limited to this mountain peak.
Since Aru leveled up, in less than a year, its strength has improved significantly in all aspects, seemingly due to a change in its physique caused by the leveling up.
This was already evident during the upgrade. After the upgrade was completed, it immediately engaged in a real fight with Ah Shou, and the result surprised even Lin Ruo.
On the day A-Lu was promoted, A-Shou and A-Lu ran out and didn't return for more than two hours. Although A-Lu was still dejected when she came back, obviously she had lost, she also noticed that A-Shou was not in good condition either, and even walked with a limp.
It's important to know that Afu and Ashou had already leveled up for quite some time, and their strength had long surpassed that of ordinary level 6 mutated beasts. However, even with such strength, Ashou was still slightly injured when dealing with Alu. This shows that although Alu was only level 5, its true strength was comparable to that of ordinary level 6 mutated beasts.
Lin Ruo couldn't figure out why. If it was just a matter of the beast's aptitude, then she hadn't felt this way with the two mutated black panthers before.
Could it be that she's been feeding him too good food, unknowingly boosting Alu's physique? Or is it something else specific to him?
From that time on, Aru's strength improved rapidly every day. In just under a year, it had become a level 6 mutated beast, and it had leveled up two months ago.
Afu and Ashou only recently reached level seven, which shows that the strength gap between Afu, Ashou, and Alu is constantly narrowing.
In Lin Ruo's view, A Lu's condition was like the awakening of some kind of bloodline. Lin Ruo used his mental power to scan A Lu's body again and again, for fear that there might be some hidden dangers in A Lu's body that would be harmful to it.
But in fact, no, Lin Ruo could only conclude that it was the talent of a top predator.
Whatever the reason, it is very beneficial to Lin Ruo. Now that A Lu's strength has increased so much, it can be said that the shortcomings of the family's strength have been made up. When Lin Ruo took in A Lu before, it was only a level 2 mutated beast. Now it can stand on its own and has become the undisputed king of this area of several thousand square kilometers.
While Lin Ruo was eating dessert, A Liu's willow branch reached in. It was so tempted by the fruit in the pudding that it wanted to eat the fruit from its space.
Lin Ruo, with a spoon in her mouth, took out a lot of fruit from her space and placed it next to their tree pit. Ah Liu and Lao Bai only had this one preference, so she naturally wanted to satisfy them.
During this year, A-Liu and Lao Bai also successfully upgraded thanks to the crystal cores that Lin Ruo obtained at the Fog Shadow Base, and now they have reached level 8.
However, after reaching level 8, Lin Ruo discovered that the crystal cores of those wood-type ability users were no longer very effective against them, just like in Lin Ruo's current state, probably because they required too much energy.
Seeing that her pets could all level up, Lin Ruo was happy, but also a little anxious. It had been more than two years since her superpower reached level eight during the extreme heat, and she still hadn't found a breakthrough.
In a few days, the blizzard will have been falling for two whole years, which will also be the time for her previous life to die. What will happen after that is all unknown. She desperately wants to increase her strength in order to resist the unknown future.
During that year, Lin Ruo was completely oblivious to everything else, focusing all her energy on improving herself. Apart from eating and sleeping, she spent all her time cultivating.
She had only overdrawn her superpower twice the day before, but now she had increased it to four times. While this greatly helped improve her mental strength, it also kept her mind constantly on edge. She had to endure the pain of overdrawing her superpower four times a day. If it weren't for her strong self-control and willpower, she would probably have gone mad by now.
She also needs to absorb supernatural energy crystals every day. Now, if she wants to restore her supernatural energy, she would need too many low-level animal crystals. This is where the usefulness of supernatural energy crystals becomes apparent.
Although the effect is cruel, it is very effective. In addition, with the fruits that A-Liu has grown, her mental power is now close to saturation. As long as her mental power is saturated, she can directly level up.
