In the nearly one year since then, she only went to the B City base once more because Huang Changqi did.
Thinking of Huang Changqi, Lin Ruo's eyebrows twitched slightly. Back then, the B City base had tried all sorts of methods to get him to confess, but he just wouldn't. In the end, Jiang Yue couldn't help but ask her for help.
Huang Changqi had seen Lin Ruo's methods before, but he still insisted, just like before, that he was the final boss and that he was not lying at all.
Lin Ruo only stayed in the cell for an hour. When he came out, Huang Changqi was already dead. He had even heard about the methods Lin Ruo used on the Qi family members. This kind of torture would make people's whole body itch unbearably. If someone could endure this kind of torture without saying anything, they basically couldn't get any information out of them.
Lin Ruo didn't do anything else. She directly used a water blade to sever Huang Changqi's throat, who was slumped on the ground. As he was dying, she saw relief in his eyes. He would finally no longer have to suffer all kinds of torment.
After Lin Ruo came out of the dungeon, she went straight to Ye Lin and said, "A person who can survive this method is either telling the truth or has been completely brainwashed without even realizing it."
Ye Lin fell silent upon hearing Lin Ruo's words; this outcome was expected.
For a whole year, they tried every method they could think of on Huang Changqi. Several times they could clearly feel that he couldn't take it anymore and was on the verge of collapse, but he still insisted on his own point of view, which already spoke volumes.
"Which one do you prefer?" He looked up at Lin Ruo.
Lin Ruo's eyebrows twitched slightly upon hearing this. "I'm more inclined to believe that those people are more skilled."
The two men stared at each other for a moment, and at that moment their thoughts were surprisingly in agreement. The more Huang Changqi acted this way, the more it explained the problem. Unfortunately, the other side had placed Huang Changqi in the Fog Shadow Base, which was a very safe move, and they were never worried about exposing themselves.
"A rat will always show itself."
After saying this, Lin Ruo left the B City base and never left her mountain again, focusing on improving her superpowers.
People outside were even more afraid of her because of the Fog Shadow Base incident. Whenever they needed to go to the B City base, they would insist on taking a detour no matter how bad the weather was, not wanting to provide Lin Ruo with any material to cause them trouble.
While Lin Ruo was lost in thought, she slowly finished the dessert in her hand.
She snapped out of her daze, and with a flick of her finger, the bowl immediately began to fill with water. The water swirled slowly, cleaning the bowl thoroughly.
Her rest time is over, and now she has to go to training again.
Although the training days were tedious, Lin Ruo felt incredibly fulfilled. After the apocalypse, becoming stronger seemed to be the belief that kept her going.
She had just entered the training room and was preparing to manipulate the spatial domain to adjust the surrounding magnetic field to nine times the gravity when she heard a knock on the training room door.
At this moment, it must be Ah Liu knocking on the door. With a thought, the door to the training room opened, and Ah Liu's willow branch reached in, handing her two red fruits.
Lin Ruo glanced at A Liu upon seeing the fruit, but her face showed no joy; instead, it was filled with intense anger. "You used all the energy from the supernatural crystal cores I've been feeding you recently to nurture this fruit? Didn't I tell you before that you can't do this?! And you even managed to produce two at once?! Aren't you afraid of hurting yourself?!"
Ah Liu gestured wildly, determined to take someone down with her even in death. She hurriedly explained to Lin Ruo that she and Lao Bai had worked together to produce the fruit. They had absorbed half of the energy over the past few days, and Lao Bai had used that energy to activate his own abilities, all of which were applied to Ah Liu, which was how they were able to produce two fruits together.
The pine branch that followed Ah Liu's willow branch into the room froze. Old Bai hadn't expected Ah Liu to sell it so quickly. The branch slacked down, looking meek and obedient, as if admitting its mistake.
A-Liu pushed the fruit on the branch forward. They were already level 8 mutated trees, with intelligence almost on par with adults. Lin Ruo's increasingly frantic cultivation mode had made them very worried, fearing that she would harm her body, which was why they came up with this method.
The willow branches of Ah Liu expressed everything they wanted to say, and Lin Ruo's anger, which had been rising, slowly subsided. She sighed deeply, thinking that it was all her fault. If she hadn't been cultivating so frantically these past few days, they wouldn't have been so worried.
During this time, even the usually carefree Ah Shou and Ah Lu couldn't help but look at Lin Ruo with a hint of worry in their eyes.
"I was too impatient."
Since her rebirth, everything has gone smoothly for her, both in life and in cultivation. This time, she has been stuck at level eight for more than two years, and she is indeed getting a little anxious.
The branches of Ah Liu and Lao Bai were draped over Lin Ruo's shoulders, gently rubbing her cheeks on either side, silently supporting all her decisions. If improving her strength was so important to her, then they would work harder and produce more fruit, and they would surely help their master achieve her wish.
Having been together for so many years in the apocalypse, they have long become each other's support, whether it is the master to them or they to the master.
Lin Ruo felt relieved and the tension in her mind eased. She suddenly felt very tired.
She took the two fruits from the willow branch, but did not eat them immediately. She had been cultivating so hard during this period, and although her healing ability had not left any physical injuries, it still affected her mental state. She could feel so tired now, which was definitely not a good sign. She did not know what effect eating these two fruits would have, but now was definitely not the best time.
A flash of white light appeared in her hand, and the two red fruits that had been lying in her hand disappeared, stored away in her spatial storage.
After escaping that tense state, Lin Ruo felt as if her spirit had been completely drained. Her water-based superpowers flowed continuously through every corner of her body, maximizing her healing abilities. She felt warm all over, and all she wanted to do now was go back to her room and get some sleep.
Ah Liu and Lao Bai are the most considerate; they immediately noticed her current condition and urged her to go and rest.
Lin Ruo dragged her tired body to take a shower first, then lay down on the bed, only to be plunged into darkness in less than a second.
After she fell asleep, Ah Liu and Lao Bai were still worried, so they went into the room to check on her. They immediately discovered that she was enveloped in a faint blue light, and her water-based supernatural abilities were helping her repair her body.
