She felt no pity; if she were in their shoes, she would have become food for these mutated beasts.
With a swift stroke, she severed the fawn's head, thus killing all four mutated beasts.
She stored the four mutated beasts in her spatial storage, then slung the sniper rifle behind her back. There were many mutated beasts on Yanshan Mountain; she would take them out with a single shot whenever she encountered one.
Lin Ruo continued to approach the B City base on her skis, releasing her mental energy throughout as she explored the underground area.
Lin Ruo's goal today is the area around the B City base. She always thought that the discovery of underground minerals in the B City base in her previous life must not have been a coincidence.
Half an hour later, Lin Ruo arrived around the B City base, concealed himself with a water membrane, stood on the mountain peak, and looked towards the B City base with binoculars.
At this time, the B City base had undergone a major transformation. A tall stone wall had been built around the base, enclosing an area of tens of thousands of square meters.
The city wall is about 2 meters wide and 15 meters high. There are watchtowers and high-voltage electric fences on the city wall. There are watchtowers every 10 meters. Each watchtower is equipped with light and heavy machine guns and three soldiers on duty.
Lin Ruo raised an eyebrow slightly. What kind of power source does this B City base use? Is it also powered by generators? How much diesel fuel would be needed to maintain such a large high-voltage power grid?
Inside the city walls, a two-story villa area has been built in the very center of the base using military steel materials. Beyond the villa area are houses made of shipping containers, and beyond that are large areas of tents.
Lin Ruo pursed her lips. What kind of time is this to be building villas? These villas are obviously for high-ranking officials. Ordinary soldiers can only live in those tents.
The outermost layer contained ten heavy military trucks, five armored vehicles, and a dozen buses. Around these vehicles, there were also a dozen cranes and trucks carrying out construction work.
Some buildings are already basically complete. They are tall buildings constructed of stone with thick stone walls, which make them look quite safe.
The base was bustling with people, each doing their own job and busy with their own tasks.
"As expected of Z country's only official base, they were able to build it up like this in just three days. They didn't have the spare capacity to rescue civilians before, so they were definitely rushing to salvage supplies." Lin Ruo held binoculars and carefully observed the people at the B city base.
"This isn't working. I can't just stay here monitoring forever; otherwise, I won't be able to get anything done," Lin Ruo muttered to herself as she continued to observe through her binoculars.
A sudden thought flashed through her mind: these houses were all built of stone, and these trucks were also loaded with stones. She turned her binoculars and found no quarries nearby, which meant that the stones were transported from elsewhere.
With Lin Ruo's keen eye, he could naturally tell that these were ordinary stones, not underground minerals. But what if they had dug up underground minerals while mining stones?
She carefully recalled the time when the underground minerals were announced at the B City base in her previous life.
From discovery to research to application, all of these take time. If we go back from the announcement date, it's not hard to deduce that the underground minerals were found at the B City base during the period when the base was being built!
Lin Ruo's eyes flickered. Did that mean that the quarry at the B City base was very likely the site where underground minerals were discovered?
Lin Ruo thought about it more and more and felt that it was very likely. Seeing that another truck was driving out to mine, Lin Ruo couldn't wait to step on her skis and follow.
She leaped lightly, her body flipping in the air before landing steadily on the hillside. She then slid down the slope, disappearing far behind the trucks.
The trucks traveled on the mountain roads, while Lin Ruo glided through the forest. She was already a small target, and with the dense trees around her providing cover, the trucks below couldn't spot her at all.
The truck didn't dare to drive too fast in the snow, and Lin Ruo followed effortlessly.
Half an hour later, the trucks finally slowed down, and a huge quarry appeared in front of Lin Ruo not far away.
Lin Ruo lifted his skis and stood still, then took out a telescope from his spatial storage to look around. He saw that there were many people working hard in the quarry, working enthusiastically.
She used her water-based supernatural ability to become invisible. Beneath her feet was frozen snow, and Lin Ruo stepped on it with light movements, leaving no trace.
With gentle and swift movements, they arrived above the quarry, crawling on their bodies. Below, a dozen workers operated quarrying machines, cutting the huge rocks on the mountain into regular rectangular blocks, which were then lifted by cranes onto trucks.
The quarry was very loud, and the workers were completely absorbed in their work. No one noticed that a strange woman had suddenly appeared above them, where the large rocks had blocked their view.
Lin Ruo hid behind a large rock, and her mental energy spread wildly into the quarry. Fifty meters, one hundred meters, one hundred and fifty meters, two hundred meters... until she reached five hundred meters, when she finally found the underground ore she had been dreaming of.
