She turned and glided towards the outskirts. She had studied the map of City B before. There were several mountains in the suburbs, and the place she was going to was Yanshan in the southern suburbs, where the City B base was built in her previous life.
The underground minerals she had been eyeing were first discovered at the B City base, so if she wanted to find underground minerals, she had to start from the Yanshan Mountains!
On the icy road, she quickly dodged the obstacles and sped forward. People searching for supplies by the roadside only saw one figure rushing away.
"My God! How can this person be so fast! Can they fly?!"
"Are you blind?! Wasn't she wearing ice skates? You'd be fast too!"
"Forget it, ice skates are fast, but you can't walk on flat ground. You have to change your skates when you get to flat ground, which is too cumbersome and troublesome."
"You mean, when we watched the Olympics on TV before, we didn't realize how fast figure skating was, right?"
"That's not it..."
When they reached a less crowded area, Lin Ruo accelerated again, reaching a speed of about 70-80 kilometers per hour, but it still took more than two hours to reach the foot of Yanshan Mountain.
She was covered in snowflakes, her face mask was covered in frost, and she was breathing heavily, her breath turning white as it entered the air.
It got even colder that day. Luckily, she had a water-based ability that allowed her to regulate her body temperature. Otherwise, she wouldn't have dared to skate over there directly. Even if she hadn't frozen to death, her respiratory system would have been ruined.
She stood at the foot of Yanshan Mountain, looking up at the majestic mountain in front of her. The light snow overnight had dressed the mountain in a silvery-white coat, completely covering the decaying branches and leaves left by the flood.
Suddenly a cold wind blew by, rustling the withered branches and making a "whooshing" sound, as if the mountain in front of them was crying.
Lin Ruo recalled the information about this mountain in her mind. The information said that the mountain was 500-1500 meters above sea level and had a total area of 42 square kilometers. The B City base in her previous life was built on the mountainside.
The most used materials in the construction of the base are the stone from this mountain and the steel made from the iron ore from this mountain. It is this mountain that once again lifts up the people of City B. How great it is!
Lin Ruo plans to temporarily build her shelter on this mountain and first look for underground minerals.
At the same time, she could keep a close eye on the B City base, as she had been very envious of the weapons produced there in her previous life.
She crouched down slightly, took off her ice skates and put them away, replacing them with thick-soled, non-slip boots.
Then she leaped several meters high, landing steadily on a large rock, and quickly climbed the mountain.
The mountain was covered with rocks, which were covered with ice and snow. Even though Lin Ruo was wearing non-slip boots, she almost slipped and fell.
A blue glint flashed in her eyes, and the bottom of her boots was encased in ice. Beneath the ice grew many tiny, sharp spikes, as hard as iron, which could firmly embed themselves into the ice, so she would never slip again.
Having solved the problem underfoot, Lin Ruo breathed a sigh of relief, then looked up at the snow-white forest in front of her. She moved quickly, passing through the withered trees and moving forward.
When they reached the mountainside, the traces of the submersion disappeared, and many large trees still retained their greenness under the ice and snow. Lin Ruo looked at these trees that could survive in the extreme cold, and if nothing unexpected happened, they had all mutated.
Once these plants have fully mutated and grown, even Lin Ruo has to be extra careful when entering such mountain forests, as it is extremely dangerous.
She wandered around the mountain looking for a suitable place to stay. Out of vigilance, she kept her mental energy outward and soon discovered traces of a large number of humans. With so many, could it be an army?
She quickly activated her water-based powers, making herself "invisible," and began to slowly track the trail.
"Be careful, everyone. Cut down all these trees and put them over there. We'll build some simple houses first, and then slowly expand outwards."
"yes!"
A man in a military overcoat was chopping down a tree with a chainsaw while directing his soldiers to work.
Lin Ruo stood on a tree not far away, looked up and carefully counted the number of people. There were probably several thousand people, two regiments of soldiers. They should be the advance construction force of the base.
These people were organized, disciplined, and had a division of labor. As the trees around them fell one by one, someone behind them used an electric drill to dig out the tree stumps from the frozen ground, and then someone else was responsible for filling the stumps with soil.
These people all looked energetic and didn't seem to have gone hungry. It seems her earlier prediction was correct; the authorities did indeed salvage a lot of supplies in the shortest possible time.
"Is the mine located down here?"
She quietly released her spiritual power and slowly probed downwards. Her spiritual power penetrated to a depth of 200 meters below the ground and a kilometer away, but she did not find the existence of that special mineral.
Knowing the location of the base, the location of her shelter was basically decided; it couldn't be too far from here, nor too close.
She left silently, and only after she was far away did she remove the water film from her body. She took out the map of City B that she had bought earlier from her space. The location of the City B base was on the mountainside of the highest peak on the north side of Yanshan Mountain. This location had more sunlight and was more suitable for human survival.
So she chose the north side of the same mountain peak. The place she chose was on the south side of the mountaintop. This place was on the shady side, with a temperature difference of nearly ten degrees from the sunny side, so few people would come here, making it easier to hide.
The straight-line distance to the base in City B is more than 30 kilometers, which would take more than half an hour by car. In addition, the area is densely forested, and ordinary military trucks simply cannot get in.
She chose a relatively flat mountain hollow, a place sheltered from the wind and small in size, which she could conceal with her water-based abilities, making it difficult for others to spot her.
