In Ye Lin's office, all three people stared at the small terminal on the table, feeling somewhat uneasy as they awaited Lin Ruo's reply.
“If that’s the case,” Lin Ruo’s voice rang out again, “then we can cooperate again. How do you want me to restrain those high-level ability users? I’ll fly to three countries and kill or bring back all those ability users above level five.”
"..."
Upon hearing Lin Ruo's words, the three people were speechless for a moment, unsure of how to feel. Her reply had indeed put their minds at ease, but hearing her speak so casually about the fate of those advanced ability users, they couldn't help but feel a mix of emotions.
These high-level ability users, whom they considered troublesome, were nothing more than people Lin Ruo could treat at will.
Jiang Yue, in particular, had only recently become a superhuman and had just learned about the difficulty of upgrading his abilities. He also had an infinite longing to become a high-level superhuman. He wanted to make some contributions to the base and also wanted to help Lin Ruo.
Hearing that those highly skilled superhumans he admired were nothing compared to Lin Ruo, he couldn't suppress his disappointment.
"If possible, we should keep them alive. After all, we don't know what will happen next. If another natural disaster occurs, their existence can still help us."
As soon as Ye Lin finished speaking, Lin Ruo immediately followed up with, "The premise is that you can control them, otherwise they are a given threat to you."
She was referring to the high-level superhumans who had been captured; to her, these people could never pose a threat.
"Yes, we are confident. The laboratory is currently researching a special drug that is more potent than the previous control agents, specifically designed to control these superhumans with opposing attributes."
When Ye Lin said this, he was actually a little uneasy. After all, as these medicines continued to be updated, Lin Ruo might realize the threat and then stay away from them.
Lin Ruo, however, remained calm. She had no particular thoughts about whether the other party was asking her to control ability users with opposing stances or to control all high-level ability users. This was a matter for their base, and she didn't want to meddle.
"Since you have your methods, then I'll capture him alive."
“But I also have my conditions for cooperating with you,” Lin Ruo said, having determined her role in this battle. Since it was a cooperation, she certainly couldn’t work for free.
"First, I want to completely eliminate the experimental organizations established by this three-nation alliance. This must be done in your name. No matter who is involved, I will not leave any survivors. Second, I want the corpses of 30,000 mutated beasts of level three or above, along with their crystal cores. You know the proportions. The delivery time must be before your operation."
"Can."
Ye Lin understood that Lin Ruo could easily eliminate everyone involved in that experimental organization with her own strength. The reason she was allowed in as a condition was simply to give them a legitimate reason to shift the blame onto them later.
But the two sides had already started a war. Ever since Ye Lin planned to overthrow the other side's regime, the hatred had gone far beyond that, so why would they care about these things?
The second condition wasn't too harsh for the B City base. During this period, due to the surge in the strength of mutated plants and animals, many mutated animals provoked the B City base and were eliminated. Since they realized that Lin Ruo was willing to take them in, they kept the corpses.
Even if she didn't want it, they could use it to feed the mutated sea worms and mutated plants in the base. Unexpectedly, they needed it this time. After careful calculation, the shortage was not that big, and it would only take a few days to get everything done.
After finalizing a few more details, Lin Ruo said, "Let me know when you're ready to depart, and I'll travel with you."
Because of the apocalypse, the original coastline no longer exists. Now the sea area between the two countries is too wide, exceeding 12,000 kilometers. The range of the crystal energy guided cannon is not that far, so if they want to start a war, they will definitely have to rely on warships to get close and fight.
After hanging up the call, Lin Ruo sat in the living room, slowly rubbing a fist-sized piece of black jade crystal in her hand. There were some slight carving marks on it, which she had carved with an ice blade she had conjured using her supernatural power. Despite the hardness of the black jade crystal, the ice blade still managed to carve marks little by little.
As soon as Afu and the other two left the space, they ran off to play, leaving only Aliu and Lao Bai at home.
Lin Ruo's mind was still replaying the previous conversation. It seemed that the B City base would soon take action. This time, the actions of the United States had thoroughly angered them.
She looked up in the direction of the United States, her eyes slightly narrowed, and a faint smile appeared at the corner of her mouth.
...
"Knock knock knock!!!"
A knocking sound came from the top-floor office of the M Country Central Building, the knocking slightly urgent.
Itef, who was cultivating his supernatural abilities with his eyes closed, frowned and opened them. There was a red glow around his eyes. He had just drunk a bottle of potion an hour ago, and the effects of the potion had not yet been fully absorbed. His head was buzzing, and it felt like he had been hit by a sledgehammer.
He shook his head to clear his mind before walking out of the break room next to the office and calling out in a deep voice to the door, "Come in."
A superhuman opened the door and shouted anxiously at him, "Base Commander, all of our spies in Bases B and C have lost contact. They've probably all been wiped out."
Itef, who was sitting on the sofa and slowly rubbing his forehead, immediately turned his gaze to the superhuman upon hearing this, his expression becoming even more unpleasant. "When did this happen?"
Seeing his expression, the man quickly lowered his head in fright, his voice trembling, "It's been more than three days. We agreed with those insiders to contact them every three days to ensure their safety. We received their message at the agreed time, and it's been three days now."
A bright red light shone in Itef's eyes, and the superhuman was so frightened that he took a step back. Suddenly, circles of insects appeared under his feet. At this moment, Itef no longer had the appearance of a human; he was simply a humanoid insect nest.
Before the superhuman could even scream, he was completely devoured by these insects, leaving not a drop of blood or a single hair, only a smooth crystal core lying on the ground.
After the insects devoured the superhuman, they all crawled onto Itef's body, and he transformed back into human form. He closed his eyes, licked his lips, and his eyes were filled with satisfaction.
