The fighter jet circled once in the sky and then quickly turned back. Su Buqing looked down at the two huge mutated trees through the bulletproof glass window.
Judging from their posture, it's easy to guess that Sister Ruo is probably not on this mountain peak. If they linger here for too long, these two mutated trees will definitely attack, and then they'll be in real trouble.
At this moment, Lin Ruo, who was in the deep sea, was unaware that the location of her peak had been exposed so quickly. The three furry creatures around her were having a great time playing in the deep sea.
In particular, Alu would catch and taste almost every mutated sea beast he saw that he had never seen before. The high-level mutated beasts sensed their aura and were somewhat afraid, fearing that they would provoke them. They turned around and tried to swim away, but the three of them insisted on swimming up, circling around them, looking and scratching, until they finally killed them and then Lin Ruo put them into her space.
Lin Ruo followed behind them, providing support. Although Afu and the others were already level seven mutated beasts, and Alu was already level six, they lived on land after all. Fighting on their home turf, they were still at a slight disadvantage. She simply restricted the movements of these mutated sea beasts slightly.
They came down this time hoping to catch more mutated beasts. The corpses of the hundreds of mutated beasts that attacked the mountain peaks before couldn't even last a night before they were all eaten. Lin Ruo also wanted to take advantage of this trip to catch more, just in case.
She didn't miss a single mutated sea beast that passed by. Now, except for the western plateau region and those high mountains that haven't been affected by the cracks, the rest of the region has been basically submerged. In some places, the seawater depth has reached nearly a thousand meters. The mutated beasts that were originally in the deep sea are also gradually migrating here.
These mutated sea beast groups, even the smallest ones contain hundreds of mutated beasts, mostly common sea fish. Because they were too small before the apocalypse, even after upgrading to level three or four, they are only two or three meters tall.
Aru was overjoyed to see these and rushed over, wiping one out with a single paw. To it, these were all dried fish. The dried fish its owner made tasted amazing, but there was just too little of it, not enough to even fill a tooth gap. This time, it was determined to catch as many as it could and eat as much as it wanted.
Lin Ruo and her group swam a long way, and on some of the sea, she could still find some corpses that had been eaten by small mutated sea beasts. Some were mutated beasts, and some were human. The corpses had begun to decompose, and they could only be identified by the bones.
These were people who drowned because they didn't have time to escape when the snow melted, and their corpses became the breeding ground for mutated sea monsters underwater.
Two hours later, they finally returned to the shore. At this time, Lin Ruo's space contained the corpses of several thousand mutated sea beasts.
It was already evening when they came ashore, but there were still quite a few people on the shore. However, they were clearly not the same people as before, because the expressions of these people when they saw Afu and the other two were exactly the same as those of the previous people.
Moreover, she spotted a few people among them. If she remembered correctly, these were the same people she had seen when she brought Afu and the others here before. They were also glancing at her with a knowing look, as if they were hiding something.
She narrowed her eyes slightly and scanned these people with her mental energy, but found nothing wrong. They were just ordinary survivors, without any special abilities.
She withdrew her mental energy, and those people also stopped looking at her. Lin Ruo stopped paying attention, since many people had looked at her like that, and it might just be a coincidence.
Because Afu and Ashou's fur was wet, even though they shook themselves vigorously to shake off all the excess water droplets, Lin Ruo finally chose to sit on Alu's back. Afu and Ashou had used up a lot of energy in the water.
Afu and Ashou had no objections and followed behind Alu, rushing towards the fortress together.
Meanwhile, Su Buqing led his men back to the base camp in City B. As soon as he got off the plane, he ran to the camp and came to Chen Yu's tent. He had a hint of joy on his face. "Captain, we found Sister Ruo's location. Her entire mountain is still there, about 300 kilometers southwest of our camp."
Upon hearing Lin Ruo's name, Chen Yu's eyes flickered slightly. He then put down the documents in his hand, looked up at him, and asked, "You saw her?"
Su Buqing shook his head. "We didn't see Sister Ruo, but we saw her mountain. She must not be here. The mutated plants and animals on the mountain are very alert, so we dare not get close."
“I didn’t see her,” Chen Yu frowned. “Then how can you be sure that mountain peak is hers?”
“I saw Sister Ruo’s willow tree when I participated in the mission before. I saw it on that mountain peak just now. I sensed its presence before, so I’m sure I’m not mistaken.” Su Buqing recalled that mission and their experience on the plane, something no one would easily forget.
Chen Yu obviously remembered as well, then nodded, stood up, and said, "Come on, come with me to see the base commander and report the specific situation clearly."
Upon arriving at Ye Lin's tent, Su Buqing's joy had vanished. He recounted in detail everything they had seen and heard during their reconnaissance mission, "...After discovering that this was Sister Ruo's mountain, we returned without delay."
Ye Lin nodded, a smile appearing on his usually serious face. "You've worked hard. Go and rest now."
Su Buqing saluted them before turning and leaving.
Only Ye Lin, Chen Yu, and Jiang Yue remained in the tent. Finding Lin Ruo's location was a shared idea among the three of them. For the safety of the base, having such a super expert around, even knowing that the other party wouldn't interfere, was a unique kind of security.
Now that Lin Ruo's location has been found, Ye Lin and Chen Yu looked at Jiang Yue, hoping that Jiang Yue would sound out Lin Ruo's feelings. If moving there would cause her any burden or upset her, it would be a loss for them.
Jiang Yue, wearing a mask and with his eyes closed, leaned back in his chair and hadn't said a word since the beginning. It was unclear whether he was genuinely asleep or pretending.
To be honest, from Sister Ruo's perspective, they were really annoying. They had to stick to her even when she was moving. Jiang Yue didn't want to annoy Sister Ruo.
