Lin Ruo was indeed hungry; she devoured the roast chicken and flatbread in no time!
Clutching her bloated stomach, she leaned against the dining table and sighed, "This is life!"
Without comparison, there is no harm; it is difficult to go from luxury to frugality. Although the steamed buns we ate at the base could fill us up, they were not as delicious as these.
After dinner, Lin Ruo put all the dishes into the dishwasher. It was already 8 p.m. She turned on the large screen on the wall, found a program to help her sleep, washed up, and went straight to bed to prepare for sleep.
At this time, the B City base was in chaos. The deputy base commander was dead, and his subordinates all followed Jiang Haochen. However, Jiang Haochen did not return to the base until dark because of his mission.
"What?!" Jiang Haochen received this devastating news as soon as he arrived at the base. "How could the deputy base commander have suddenly passed away?! When did this happen?"
The soldiers below also looked puzzled. "It was after 4 p.m. today. The base commander had the forensic doctor perform an autopsy. He doesn't believe the deputy base commander died of illness."
Jiang Haochen's face was very grim. Then the soldier reported another piece of bad news to him, "Commander Ye Lin has just arrested several superhumans who have committed crimes. They are now being held in a special prison."
"Ye Lin..." Mentioning this person gave him a headache. The deputy base chief had just passed away, and this person couldn't wait to lock up all the ability users. "Take me to see him."
The special prison at the B City base was built using underground ore. After discovering this ore, the research institute at the B City base first studied it and found that the ore had an extremely high density and its resistance to impact far exceeded that of other stones. They even specially invited Shen Yunche, a fire-type ability user, to test it.
Shen Yunche exhausted all his supernatural abilities but failed to break a single piece of underground ore, which gave the researchers a glimmer of hope. They had finally found a material that was not affected by supernatural abilities.
The military used some of the ore to create a special prison specifically for imprisoning people with superpowers.
Jiang Haochen followed the people to the special prison. From a distance, he saw four soldiers standing guard outside the prison gate. The prison was five meters high and 20 meters long, not small at all.
As Jiang Haochen approached, a soldier stepped forward to stop him from getting any closer. "Reporting to Regiment Commander Jiang, Regiment Commander Ye instructed that no one should be allowed to enter without his written order."
Jiang Haochen recognized the soldier; he was Ye Lin's confidant. It seemed he couldn't even go in to take a look. "Even I need a warrant?"
"Report, yes!" The soldier faced Jiang Haochen's burning gaze without flinching or yielding an inch.
"Good! Well done!" Jiang Haochen didn't want to fall out with Ye Lin, so he didn't bring anyone to force his way in. He turned around and strode away.
"Captain, aren't you afraid of being retaliated against for going against Commander Jiang like this?" After Jiang Haochen left, another soldier asked the soldier in a low voice.
The man sneered, "What's there to be afraid of? I'm Commander Ye's soldier, and it's not Commander Jiang's place to manage me. Besides, the deputy base commander is already dead. Commander Jiang has lost his backer, so how can he be so arrogant?!"
"So what if they have superpowers? They're still afraid of guns and cannons. No matter how powerful they are, we'll eventually catch them!"
There are five superpowered individuals in the prison, all of whom are present except for the wood-type superpowered individual.
When they heard the soldiers' discussion outside, their expressions changed. It wasn't that they hadn't considered resisting.
When Ye Lin and his team surrounded them, they were truly helpless. Before awakening their superpowers, they were just ordinary people and didn't have the ability to scale walls and leap across rooftops.
Although their physical abilities improved significantly after awakening their powers, they were still not strong enough to withstand bullets. While they could use their powers, they knew exactly how many times they could use them. With so many people, they had no chance of winning.
"Old Shen, what should we do?" Yuan Zhihong, a power user sitting in the corner, looked anxiously at Shen Yunche beside him.
