Ye Lin stood outside the door, his face covered in frostbite, but he seemed oblivious to it, standing straight as ever.
Lin Ruo didn't even glance at Ye Lin when she left, she just hurriedly went to search the inner layer again, as Jiang Haochen hadn't been found yet.
She quickly searched the entire inner layer again, using the invisible water membrane, but still couldn't find Jiang Haochen. It seemed that she wouldn't be able to have double happiness today, and she needed to hurry home.
If I can't get home before dark, I'll have to spend the night in the wild.
She quickly left the inner layer, ran all the way to the foot of the city wall of City B, and once again took a running start and jumped over the 20-meter-high wall to run out of the city.
Two kilometers outside the B City base, Lin Ruo removed the concealing water film from her body, breathed a sigh of relief, and felt a huge weight lifted from her heart. She had finally eliminated this potential threat; she didn't like the feeling of being constantly on someone's mind.
She glanced at her watch; it was already four in the afternoon, and it would be dark in an hour. She needed to hurry.
She took out a ski from her spatial storage and began to ski quickly toward the fortress.
Li Weiguo's death was discovered after Lin Ruo left the B City base. The reason was that the soldiers at the gate couldn't bear to see Ye Lin continue to suffer from the cold, so they took it upon themselves to go and ask him again.
"Knock knock knock..." He stood outside Li Weiguo's study and knocked respectfully, but no one answered after waiting for a long time.
"Knock knock knock..." He frowned slightly and knocked on the door again, but after a few minutes there was still no answer.
"Deputy base commander, are you there?" he shouted as he knocked on the door, but there was still no answer.
He suddenly realized something was wrong, quickly turned the doorknob and opened the door, only to see Li Weiguo lying face down on the ground, eyes open, face contorted in a ferocious expression, already lifeless.
"Deputy Base Commander!"
He quickly stepped inside, took off his gloves to check Li Weiguo's pulse, but there was none; the man was already stiff!
He rushed downstairs and shouted to Ye Lin at the door, "Commander Ye, the deputy base commander is dead!"
Ye Lin was stunned, then his pupils shrank, "What did you say?!"
He followed the two soldiers and ran quickly into the villa. He immediately saw Li Weiguo lying on the ground. He reached out to check Li Weiguo's pulse, but there was none! The man was really dead!
"Quickly! Notify the base commander and the military headquarters! Tell them to send someone over!"
The entire B City base's top management was in an uproar at the same time. Li Weiguo was not a powerless deputy base director; how could he just die like that?
However, the forensic autopsy concluded that the cause of death was an acute myocardial infarction caused by cardiovascular blockage, meaning the person died from illness!
"How is this possible!" Zheng Qiming slammed his fist on the table, glaring at the forensic doctor who was presenting the report. "Wei Guo had a physical examination every month and was always very healthy. Even if he didn't have a physical examination after the natural disaster, it's impossible for him to have developed a fatal disease! Investigate! You must find out the real cause of death!"
Ye Lin led the team to handle this matter, but Ye Lin himself was standing outside the villa at the time. No one went in, and there were no signs that the villa windows had been opened. The surveillance footage outside the villa showed nothing. It's impossible for that person to have flown in and out!
This incident turned into a headless corpse case. In the end, all the doctors believed that the deputy base commander had died of illness, and Zheng Qiming had no choice but to accept this fact.
Lin Ruo sped along, unaware of everything that had happened at the B City base; all she wanted was to get home as quickly as possible.
But she was still delayed on the road. She encountered three disabled lionesses on the way. These were large, ferocious beasts with bright, shiny crystal cores in their brains, which were very tempting.
Can we let this go? Absolutely not!
The lioness was three and a half meters long, and for some reason all three of them were disabled. When she encountered the lionesses, they were working together to hunt down a wild boar.
After its mutation, this wild boar grew to 4.5 meters long, with its taut muscles covered by thick pigskin, making it difficult to bite.
The wild boar's tusks were half a meter long, sharp and tough. In addition, the lioness had some disabilities, so the two were evenly matched and neither would give way.
Although wild boars are not considered ferocious beasts, their strength has increased dramatically after mutation, making them far more powerful than the beasts they once were. The crystal core in their brains is even larger than that of a lioness.
Lin Ruoyin hid behind the treetops, a long, jet-black sword resembling jade appearing in her hand—the Ink Jade Longsword.
This knife has never actually seen blood since it was made. Today, I'll be using four ferocious beasts as a sacrifice to it!
She flashed forward, leaping down from the tree with the speed of a cheetah, and charged towards the four mutated beasts below.
Lin Ruo immediately swung his long knife at one of the lionesses, using all his strength.
The lioness was attacking the wild boar's back when she suddenly felt a chill on her back. Turning around, she saw only a black flash.
The black jade longsword swiftly slashed towards the lioness's neck. With a "crack," the lioness's head fell off. Lin Ruo didn't even feel the resistance she had when cutting the gorilla earlier.
Lin Ruo pushed off the tree with her feet and quickly moved sideways, not only avoiding the blood spurting from the dead lioness's neck, but also arriving at the center of the battle below.
