"boom!"
The blood of the mutated animals fell from the sky like rain.
Lin Ruo saw everything that happened below. It seemed that the superhumans had a high status in the B City base and could even challenge the leader.
However, their strength is far too weak. Even a level one ability user shouldn't have such low combat power. Clearly, they rarely practice.
If the B City base is at this level, then she really doesn't need to worry about the B City base.
"boom!"
Amidst the continuous explosions of howitzers, the rescue team at the B City base quickly withdrew.
The mutated animals followed, and within ten minutes, the once bustling street fell silent again.
Lin Ruo leaped from the residential building, using her water-based superpower in mid-air to cleverly utilize the resistance of the water-based superpower and land lightly on the ground.
The streets were littered with the corpses of mutated animals, some bitten by other mutated creatures, others still intact.
Lin Ruo looked at the gnawed parts; Afu and Ashou would probably find them disgusting.
She took out a black jade longsword from her spatial storage and plunged it directly into their brains to see if there were any crystal cores. If there were, she picked them out and took them away.
As for the untouched corpses, she dug out the crystal cores and put them into her spatial storage without hesitation; they were practically freebies.
As the strong stench of blood wafted through the streets, it attracted many mutated animals searching for food, including the mutated crows that had flown away earlier, as well as mutated cats, mutated dogs, and even two mutated snakes...
Lin Ruo remained hidden to the side, replacing the heavy machine gun behind her with a sniper rifle and adding a silencer. The mutated animals couldn't spot her, which lowered their guard. When they bent down to eat, Lin Ruo would shoot them in the eye, killing them instantly.
In less than ten minutes, Lin Ruo had added more than a dozen prey of various sizes.
"Tsk tsk! This is really a great hunting ground," Lin Ruo said, carrying the machine gun back on his back. He looked at the hunting ground with some reluctance. "It's a pity I have something to do. Next time I come hunting, I'll do the same thing. I'll put some bait here first, and the harvest will definitely be plentiful."
After she finished speaking, she saw dozens of mutated rats dart out from the side, quickly devouring the flesh and blood, and then each one left with a piece of meat in its mouth.
Lin Ruo's eyes flickered, and his mental energy rapidly expanded to catch up. These rats turned around the high wall and went underground. Lin Ruo followed closely behind, his mental energy heading straight for the underground area covered with 3 meters of solid ice.
Sure enough, all the underground pipes had been dug out, and they were filled with mutated rats running in one direction.
Inside a pipe one meter in diameter, half-meter-long rats crawled forward, some of them carrying food in their mouths. The sight made Lin Ruo feel nauseous.
In just a few minutes, thousands of rats passed through this one pipe. How many rats are there in the whole city?
She took a deep breath, then quickly moved away in the direction the rats were heading.
Her mental energy probed through the underground pipes, which were filled with mutated rats, and even some baby rats. These mutated rats had such a strong reproductive ability that baby rats had already been born.
Faced with such a number, even with Lin Ruo's strength, she dared not act rashly. Although she had superpowers, they were not unlimited.
She could only follow them when the opportunity arose to see why the rat swarm had formed. If she did find the rat king, she could then take the opportunity to kill him.
Following them, they gradually moved away from the city center and into the suburbs.
In the suburbs far from the city center, everything around was covered in a blanket of white snow, with some footprints and scattered bloodstains on the snow.
The restrictions on keeping pets at home are lower than in the city center, and wild animals have made their home here because there are fewer people and it is easier for them to survive. There are also many large-scale farms located in the suburbs.
During periods of extreme cold, there are more mutated animals here than in the city center, and the consequences are naturally more severe.
Standing here, Lin Ruo felt that the place was devastated. Many buildings had been destroyed by the huge bodies of the mutated beasts, and there were broken walls everywhere.
The people here either went to more remote rural areas to take refuge, or they took their whole families to the base in City B.
Lin Ruo followed the swarm of rats to the vicinity of a huge building complex, watching as the mutated rats emerged from underground pipes in all directions and ran directly into the complex.
She turned to look at the name of the building complex: B City National Grain Reserve!
These rats' lair was actually in a food storage warehouse! No wonder there were so many of them; they had such a plentiful supply of food!
But the B City base never came to this place? And after the extreme cold, they didn't even take the food from here?!
Lin Ruo knew very little about this place, and didn't know how big it was. She simply hid inside to explore. Standing on a five-story building, she looked out and felt that it stretched as far as the eye could see.
All around, rats swarmed. Lin Ruo estimated that there were at least tens of millions of them. They were intertwined and squeaking, like a black tide, which was terrifying.
This one place alone has tens of millions of mutated rats. If you add the ones in the underground pipes of the city, wouldn't the number of mutated rats be hundreds of millions?
Even Lin Ruo was shocked by the sheer number of them. In her previous life, she had never experienced such a thing firsthand; she had only passively hidden from the mutated rats.
Now she realizes how lucky she was to have survived that time.
Lin Ruo took a deep breath and took out a pair of binoculars from his spatial storage. Through the binoculars, he could clearly see that all the warehouses in the grain storage had been gnawed open by rats, with grain scattered all over the ground and many rats feeding inside.
