"thump"
A dull thud echoed in the empty cave. The level 5 ability user, who would be considered a top expert elsewhere, lay on the ground with a fist-sized blood hole in his forehead, making his face look particularly ferocious.
Lin Ruo looked around. The only sound was the dripping of blood on the ground, which was particularly clear in the silent cave.
She was now all alone on the island. With a wave of her hand, the ice that had sealed off the entire cave rushed toward her.
When the ice touched her, it turned into streams of water vapor that entered her body. The previously intense cold air transformed into gentle water vapor, which circulated within her body before finally settling into her crystal core.
At this moment, the spatial blockade was lifted, and the sound of the seawater lapping against the shore outside the island could be heard again in the cave, as well as the rustling sound of the mutated plant branches stretching out.
The strong smell of blood made Lin Ruo wrinkle her nose slightly, and in a flash, she had already left the cave.
Stepping out of the cave, the sea breeze, carrying a strong, salty smell, ruffled her hair. She raised her hand and glanced at her terminal; it was already past four in the afternoon. She should be able to get back to the M country base before dark.
...
"We have successfully captured the M country base and are now integrating its resources. There are still some prisoners to deal with."
"Among the more than fifty level-five ability users that Lin Ruo previously controlled, more than twenty were high-ranking members of the base and had participated in the construction of the experimental base. Lin Ruo has already instructed that these people should be kept for her, and there should only be one outcome in the end."
"The remaining thirty-odd Level 5 ability users have all been investigated. They all belong directly to the ability team and are only responsible for carrying out missions. They can be retained. I have already had them injected with the drug, and we will take them back with us when we return."
...
As darkness fell, Chen Yu, who had just finished work, returned to his temporary office and was giving Ye Lin a voice report on the progress of his work. He had only been halfway through the report when he felt a gentle breeze. He subconsciously looked up and met Lin Ruo's eyes.
Chen Yu “…”
His mind went completely blank, and the words he was about to say caught in his throat. He subconsciously glanced at the tightly closed door and windows, not even a crack. He hadn't sensed Lin Ruo coming in at all.
If she hadn't deliberately created a gentle breeze to remind him, she probably would have sat in front of him for quite a while before he noticed.
Ye Lin, who was on the other end of the terminal, noticed something was wrong when Chen Yu was silent. His voice came through again, "Chen Yu, are you there? Chen Yu?"
Chen Yu snapped back to reality. Lin Ruo gestured to him with her chin, indicating that he should continue. She wasn't in a hurry. She leaned back comfortably in her chair, took out her terminal from her storage space, and replied to a message from A Liu at home.
Although A-Liu is illiterate, it understands the meaning of the numbers Lin Ruo tells it. The two of them can now send messages using coded language.
Looking at Lin Ruo's leisurely posture, if it weren't for the cool moisture still clinging to her body, Chen Yu would have thought she had been sitting there all along, knowing she must have just returned from the sea.
Ye Lin's voice came through the terminal again, and Chen Yu replied, "It's nothing, there was an emergency just now, let's continue..."
Chen Yu and Ye Lin didn't fight for long. Because of Lin Ruo's presence, he was able to speed up his reporting, subconsciously not wanting to keep her waiting too long and annoy her.
A few minutes later, Chen Yu hung up the phone. Lin Ruo also put away her terminal and stared intently at Chen Yu. "Where is he?"
Chen Yu knew she wanted information about the high-ranking officials at the US base. He handed her a file containing information on all the high-ranking officials at the US base. "I've already arrested all the surviving high-ranking officials and detained them in batches. If you want to go find them now, I'll take you there."
Lin Ruo casually flipped through the documents, but after a few pages, she lost interest. She wasn't interested in the basic information about these people; she just needed to know that they were involved in the experimental base.
"Let's go find them now and resolve this quickly so I can go back sooner."
Chen Yu blinked when he heard her words and blurted out, "Aren't you coming back with us? It's such a long distance."
"No, you're walking too slowly."
As Lin Ruo spoke, she stood up. Clearly, she felt there was no need to discuss this issue with Chen Yu; she only wanted to deal with the higher-ups.
Chen Yu nodded, stood up, and opened the door ahead of Lin Ruo, saying, "Come with me."
Lin Ruo followed Chen Yu to the underground building. It was more like a large cellar, made entirely of underground ore. No one knew how they made the ore, as it was completely seamless and dark inside, without a single ray of light.
Lin Ruo's spiritual power had already detected the situation inside, and she already knew who was imprisoned there.
The fact that the B City base went to such lengths to put her in a small single room shows that Chen Yu took her parting words very seriously.
When they opened the cellar door because of Chen Yu's arrival, the lights in the cellar also turned on. Itef squinted slightly as his eyes adjusted to the sudden bright light.
He initially thought someone was bringing him food and was secretly delighted, thinking his moment to escape had finally arrived. He subconsciously tried to activate his superpower, but before he could, he saw the face he didn't want to see.
It's Lin Ruo again! She's back!
She reappeared just a few hours later. Hadn't she left? Why is she back?
Looking at the sudden change in the man's expression and the energy fluctuations emanating from him, Lin Ruo understood everything. It seemed she had shattered someone's illusion of escaping.
Chen Yu followed behind Lin Ruo and naturally saw Itef's fleeting expression. He thought to himself, "Sure enough, it's a good thing he locked this person in such a cell, otherwise this person would have run away long ago."
At this moment, Itef no longer hesitated and immediately began to mobilize his superpower. He transformed into countless insects and rushed towards the open door. His superpower was very special. As long as he could get through one of them, he would have a chance to restore his body through his superpower.
