Lin Ruo watered A Liu with a lot more lake water before going inside to prepare dinner for them. They hadn't eaten properly at noon, so they needed to have a good meal in the evening.
I prepared a lot of their internal organs, as well as the meat from the mutated crocodile I killed today.
She had read in medical books that crocodile meat is not only delicious but also has medicinal value, with effects such as replenishing blood and strengthening bones, nourishing the heart and lungs, tonifying the kidneys and consolidating essence, and protecting bones.
Today, A-Liu received an extra amount, roughly twice as much as A-Fu and A-Shou, in order to quickly replenish the energy A-Liu had lost.
Add some strawberries to their space, along with two mutated ants. These ants have hard shells, which Afu and Ashou especially like to use to grind their teeth.
After preparing dinner for them, Lin Ruo placed a few washed sweet potatoes on the small stove in the living room. These were bought earlier but hadn't been eaten yet.
She then began preparing her dinner. In such cold weather, Lin Ruo's favorite food was hot pot. However, this hot pot was different from ordinary hot pot. She scooped out a ten-pound bluefish from the freshwater pool in her space.
After scraping off the scales and extracting the gallbladder inside the space, gutting and cleaning it thoroughly, it was then taken out of the space.
Heat oil in a wok. Once the oil is hot, add the cleaned fish and fry until golden brown on both sides. Then pour in boiling water, add scallions and ginger slices. As the water temperature continues to rise, the soup will start to turn milky white. Add a little salt, and the soup base is ready.
Then take out some shrimp, tofu, mushrooms, and vegetables from the space and put them outside to cook slowly in the broth. Make a delicious dipping sauce, and it's simply perfect!
This meal was not only delicious but also nutritious. She ate a lot of shrimp and mushrooms during the meal, and they were really fresh after being cooked in the hot pot!
She didn't eat much of the fish stewing in the pot. After she was full, she put the rest of the food in the pot to cook, and it all went to Afu and Ashou.
Watching Afu and Ashou eat with gusto, Lin Ruo sipped her milk tea, a slight smile playing on her lips. They were much more reliable than boyfriends; those picky boyfriends wouldn't even eat their girlfriends' leftovers, but Afu and Ashou never complained about her.
The entire fortress was filled with the aroma of fish soup hot pot and roasted sweet potatoes on small stoves. The sweet potatoes had been roasting on the stoves for over an hour, and the insides were already sugary.
After Afu and Ashou finished eating, Lin Ruo cleaned up all the tableware on the table, put them in the dishwasher to wash, and then used her water-based supernatural abilities to wash their rice bowls and set them aside.
The four of them sat together on the sofa, watching TV and eating roasted sweet potatoes. There were also sunflower seeds and peanuts next to them, and tea on the coffee table.
Inside the gate, Ah Liu also really enjoyed the roasted sweet potatoes and ate them with gusto.
Outside the door, willow branches fiercely trapped a mutated rabbit that was trying to sneak up, suspending it in the air. Sharp thorns quickly grew from the surrounding willow branches and pierced the mutated rabbit's body.
The mutated rabbit kicked its legs twice, and it was dead beyond any doubt. Before its blood could even flow out, its wounds froze.
A-Liu dragged the dead rabbit to the platform and arranged it so that Lin Ruo could see it the next day. She also asked Lin Ruo for a roasted sweet potato from the fortress.
Before going to bed, Lin Ruo added more wood to the fireplace. Before going to sleep, she felt that Afu and Ashou were acting strangely.
The two of them refused to sleep in the room and insisted on sleeping at the door to keep watch. "Our Ah Liu will keep watch, you two go to sleep in the room."
"Woof woof!" Ah Shou rarely retorted, his stubbornness flaring up, and he stubbornly refused to leave the doorway.
Afu didn't help Lin Ruo either, and stubbornly stayed there.
Lin Ruo assumed they were just scared because she had overused her powers today, so she let them be. Anyway, there was a fireplace in the living room and a fireplace in the kitchen, so it wouldn't be cold to sleep outside.
But in the middle of the night, Afu and Ashou started barking wildly, and Ashou even ran over and scratched at Lin Ruo's door.
Lin Ruo woke up immediately when Afu called her, sitting up in bed. Something was wrong! There was something there!
As she quickly dressed, she rapidly expanded her mental energy outwards. When she reached a distance of two kilometers, her pupils contracted – the rat swarm had broken out ahead of schedule!
The mental energy transmitted the images to Lin Ruo's mind in real time. In the darkness, the gray-brown rat swarms surged toward the city like a flood. Their range was so vast that it could be described as overwhelming.
Even though Lin Ruo's fortress was so far from the city, it was still within their attack range. Each rat in the swarm was more than half a meter long, with long tails that writhed like snakes. Coupled with countless pairs of eyes that were excessively bright in the darkness, it was terrifying!
Lin Ruo sped up her dressing, putting on all her clothes in less than a minute. She quickly ran downstairs and stored the entire fortress in her spatial storage. Instantly, the place where the fortress had been placed was reduced to a two-meter-deep foundation pit.
She covered herself with two layers of water to hide her figure, then jumped into the foundation pit and sealed it firmly with a meter-thick layer of ice.
Ten minutes later, Lin Ruo saw a group of grayish-brown animals stepping onto the ice above her head. Lin Ruo did not freeze them immediately, because if she froze them now, the Rat King's alertness would surely detect her presence. She still needed to follow them to find the Rat King's location.
"Let's see who's better this time!" Lin Ruo thought to herself as she stood in the pit, watching the swarm of rats still rushing past.
Lin Ruo started timing the first mutated rat to step on the ice in the pit and stopped timing when the last one left, a full 30 minutes!
Based on the previous speed calculations, that means the swarm of rats was a full 6 kilometers wide! And this was in a remote area; she might have only managed to brush against one small wing of the swarm.
"How many rats are there?!" Lin Ruo exclaimed in surprise. "How are we going to deal with this at the B City base?!"
