"What is your purpose in establishing so many experimental bases in Country Z?"
"We want to use this experiment to sow discord between ordinary survivors and those with superpowers, so as to gradually take control of various bases in Country Z."
Lin Ruo had barely asked her question when another Level 5 ability user gave her the answer in less than a second. He had been anxious the whole time. What was this information compared to her life? What was the captain hesitating about?
So many people died because of his hesitation; he is a sinner!
The answer was not much different from what Lin Ruo had guessed. When the person next to him heard the answer, he quickly looked at the person next to him with a look of horror in his eyes. It was unclear whether he was angry that the person next to him spoke too quickly and did not give him a chance to speak, or angry that he had revealed the organization's secret.
But the next moment, the angry expression on his face disappeared, replaced by an expression of extreme pain. The blood in his veins congealed into an ice spike, which pierced his stomach directly, and the blood slowly soaked through his clothes.
This happened very quickly, but it was enough to prove that what Lin Ruo had just told them was not just a bluff; answering questions slowly would indeed result in severe punishment.
"Is your organization only involved in the United States?"
"No, our organization consists of three countries, with Country M as the leader, and Country R and Country H also participating."
This time, it was the major general who answered first. Although he was injured by the ice spikes, he still endured the pain and answered quickly. The pain in his body constantly reminded him how terrifying the person in front of him was. He could not hesitate for even a moment, or he would really die.
The person next to him opened their mouth, but the words got stuck in their throat. At first, they looked annoyed, but then their expression turned to one of horror.
Lin Ruo did not disappoint him. With a thought, an ice spike was pierced through each of his arms, which were bound by A Liu. The ice spikes were icy cold and went straight to his bones. After they pierced his arms, he felt a sharp pain in both arms, and then he was frozen numb.
This made him even more terrified. If it were just a puncture, it would only be painful, and at worst, he would bleed more. But if his frozen arm was numb, it would be useless. He couldn't imagine how he would survive if he lost both arms.
"How many organizations does your organization have outside of Country Z, and where are they located?"
"There are three in total, two of which are in the Arles Mountains of M country, and one is in the Fuji Mountains of R country."
This time, the major general answered first. The superhuman next to him, whose face was already blue from the cold, didn't say a word. It wasn't that he didn't want to answer, but that he simply didn't know. Although he was a level five superhuman, his position wasn't high, and he didn't know much about such confidential matters.
Lin Ruo raised an eyebrow, surprised that H Country's cooperation with them hadn't even resulted in them getting a single organization. Then she thought about H Country's terrain. It was an island nation, and now it probably only had a few relatively high peaks left. She didn't know if these peaks had been affected by the Great Rift, and perhaps the entire country had already become a vast ocean.
With a thought, the legs of the superhuman who couldn't answer began to freeze, the ice spreading upwards little by little.
Because of the willow branches that Ah Liu had covered him, the major general hadn't noticed what kind of punishment the superhuman next to him had just received. Now, seeing the exposed legs rapidly freezing over, he could feel the icy temperature of the ice even from a distance, and all he felt was relief.
Although his stomach was pierced, the ice spike disappeared after it pierced him, probably to make him bleed more. Compared to the people around him, he felt that his punishment was much lighter.
Having learned about the mastermind behind the whole thing and the location of that organization, she had a better understanding of the situation. However, thinking back to Huang Changqi's previous behavior, she was still somewhat puzzled.
"Huang Changqi from the Fog Shadow Base, was he unaware that he was being controlled by you? What methods did you use to control him?"
“Deep hypnosis is used. There is a level 5 psychic ability user in the organization who was a hypnotist before the apocalypse. After the apocalypse, he awakened his psychic ability and his hypnosis skills became even more superb. He can now do it without leaving a trace. Huang Changqi is his most perfect work.”
The major general looked at Lin Ruo with a sincere expression, and spoke very quickly so as not to be snatched away by the superhuman next to him.
Lin Ruo nodded after hearing this. So that's how it is. She hadn't sensed any trace of mental manipulation from Huang Changqi before. She hadn't expected that there were so many talented people in this field who could do this.
She glanced at the superhuman, and with a thought, the ice on the superhuman's body had spread up to his waist. At this moment, Ah Liu also released the superhuman. From a height of just over a meter, the superhuman fell straight to the ground, barely breathing.
This time, Lin Ruo controlled the temperature of the ice, preventing the person from freezing to death.
"What other methods does your organization use to control people?"
Upon seeing the person on the ground, the major general closed his eyes with difficulty, not wanting to soften his heart at the sight of the victim's miserable state. Due to the continuous loss of blood, his voice was also somewhat weak.
"The organization is quite particular about human rights when it comes to people from the Three Kingdoms Alliance. They generally do not use control methods on the superpowered individuals from the three kingdoms, and they only use mental suggestion to manipulate ordinary survivors."
After speaking, he glanced at Lin Ruo again, his voice even lower, "For people from other countries, the method is usually more direct. We use a toxin developed by the organization and implant a tracking device in their bodies. Recently, the organization has developed a new toxin, and many Asians have been used as test subjects. The original goal was to bring the toxin to China for testing if it was successfully developed. I haven't seen its specific effects yet, so I don't know."
"Um?"
Lin Ruo blinked slightly after hearing this. She hadn't expected to gain anything from this unexpected discovery. This organization was truly disgusting. They actually wanted to come to China to experiment with toxins. Thinking back on what these people had done in China before, she narrowed her eyes slightly. A bunch of beasts. How could they possibly have any humanity?
From then on, she had gotten all the information she wanted to know. With a flick of her finger, the motionless superhuman on the ground was instantly frozen into a complete ice sculpture.
There were sixteen foreign superhumans in total, but after only a dozen minutes with Lin Ruo, only one remained.
The major general lowered his eyelids and looked at his teammate on the ground, who had been frozen into an ice sculpture. He remained silent for a while. Even if this person was his comrade-in-arms, the relief in his heart had long since outweighed his sorrow. As long as he was still alive, that was enough.
