Lin Ruo lightly swiped her finger twice on the terminal to read all the messages. Her eyes grew increasingly dark. It seemed that someone thought her life was too easy and wanted to find something for her to do.
Although Jiang Yue said he would investigate to the end, Lin Ruo knew that even if the culprit was caught in the end, it would be of no use. The news had already been released, and given the greed of those people outside, they would definitely believe it rather than let it go.
If it weren't for her long-standing reputation for power, these people would probably have wanted to band together to capture her and thoroughly investigate her. The fact that they are only testing the B City base now is simply because she is too strong for them to handle.
She adjusted her posture, leaning back against the sofa, scratching her brow with her hand. Her eyes darkened slightly. She was quite curious about who was behind this stunt. The person's purpose was very clear: to drag her down with them. It seemed they had a grudge against her.
Unfortunately, she has killed too many people and affected the interests of too many people since the apocalypse. But she has a good habit of never leaving any hidden dangers for herself. The only thing she hasn't completely cut off is probably the matter of the experimental base.
After a moment, she scoffed softly. Although she couldn't be sure, she had a feeling that her thoughts were very close to the truth.
Like rats in the gutter, she must have severely damaged their interests by uprooting the Fog Shadow Base before, which is why they are so eager to pick them out now and incite the base's high-ranking officials to act as pawns. But they don't even consider whether these people are as useful as they think.
She's been living a pretty peaceful life lately, and she's consolidated her strength after the upgrade. It's nice to have someone to play with her.
Looking at the crystal cores on the table, her smile grew increasingly sarcastic. Such a severe natural disaster hadn't completely passed, and so many survival problems were right in front of them. Instead of addressing these issues, people would always try to get involved in such a spectacle.
Okay, let's see if these people are destined to join in the fun.
However, the bait provided by the other party was not enough, and she could only catch some small fish and shrimp, while the big fish did not take a liking to her.
She raised her hand and sent Jiang Yue a message: "It's okay. If anyone asks you, just say that I not only have the ability to help people awaken their superpowers, but also have secrets about second superpowers."
When Jiang Yue received Lin Ruo's message, she immediately understood Lin Ruo's idea: she wanted to use herself as bait to lure those people into a trap.
He was even more worried. The awakening of superpowers had already made these people eager to try, and with the addition of a second superpower, many more crazy superpower users would join.
And there are those spreading rumors behind the scenes, whose backgrounds are still unknown. This is too risky for her. But he also knows that he can't dissuade Lin Ruo from her idea, so he can only remind her, "Sister Ruo, you don't know the background of these people, you must be careful."
The guilt in his heart never disappeared. At that time, he could have refused her help. He thought that Sister Ruo's mental strength was stronger, and if she was willing to help him, it would definitely be the best for him. But he did not consider the consequences.
"Sister Ruo, I won't stand idly by in this matter."
After replying to the message, he continued to cultivate his superpower. Only a little over ten days had passed since he awakened his superpower, and his superpower had already been upgraded to level 2.
To help him level up as quickly as possible, all the convenient facilities in the base were made available to him. He can now copy 10 cubic meters of materials instead of 5 cubic meters. After copying, his ability will be completely depleted, and he will need to replenish it.
These days, the only things he uses to utilize his superpowers are supplies. He has also tried using crystal cores, but with his current strength, he can only replicate a maximum of 100 level 2 crystal cores before his superpowers are exhausted.
Chen Yu sat in the chair next to Jiang Yue and, seeing that Jiang Yue was in low spirits, asked, "Are you still worrying about those rumors?"
Jiang Yue sat down in the chair, picked up the water on the table and took a sip. "If it weren't for me, Sister Ruo wouldn't have been targeted. I could have found someone else back then."
“You’ll face the same situation if you ask someone else,” Chen Yu added. “The fault doesn’t lie with you, but with those people with ulterior motives. Lin Ruo’s mountain is located between our two bases. If these people want to enter Lin Ruo’s territory, they will have to pass through our two bases. As long as we increase our protection efforts, these people will not have the opportunity to get close to her.”
"This is all we can do for now," Jiang Yue said, crushing the bottle in his hand with a dark glint in his eyes. "I must find out who leaked this information, and I will not let them get away with it!"
Looking at Jiang Yue, Chen Yu realized that ever since Lin Ruo helped him awaken his superpower, her position in Jiang Yue's eyes had become unshakeable.
...
"Old Li, although we've spread the news and are guiding things within the base, the leaders of those bases are all cowardly and afraid of trouble. They don't dare to do anything to Lin Ruo at all."
What should we do next?
Inside the same small house, the same group of people were still sitting together. They couldn't understand how these bases could control themselves after hearing such tempting news, and why not a single base took action.
Old Li looked at one of the shorter men and asked, "Did you send the message back?"
The man nodded. "The higher-ups are verifying the accuracy of the information. If it is confirmed, they will definitely send someone over."
Old Li laughed, "It doesn't matter if they don't move. Their current hesitation is just because they're afraid of Lin Ruo's strength. If someone stands in front of them and becomes the leader, these people will naturally become chaotic. If the B City base and the C City base insist on standing on Lin Ruo's side, they will become public enemies, and this entire continent will be in chaos. At that time, we can reap the benefits."
"We still don't know Lin Ruo's bottom line. What if we suffer a loss in the end?"
They had all lived on this continent for a long time and were very familiar with Lin Ruo's deeds, but even all of this combined couldn't give them a real understanding of just how strong Lin Ruo really was.
“What’s there to be afraid of?” Old Li smiled confidently. “Our strength is far greater than that of the B City base. We have many experts. No matter how powerful Lin Ruo is, he is just one person. Besides, we also have secret weapons.”
When the last few words were spoken, the hesitation on their faces vanished instantly. Yes, the secret weapon their people had recently developed was invincible; there was no way anyone could dodge it.
