Chapter 91 Research on Crossbows



Ah Liu also killed a few monkeys and neatly arranged them on the platform.

The male peacock's feathers were exceptionally beautiful. When Lin Ruo saw it, several decorations came to mind that she could use to make them.

After the fortress, it will become their home. When Lin Ruo has free time, she will also make some things to decorate and make the home look more cozy.

She put all the prey into her spatial storage, used her water-based abilities to clean the bloodstains on the platform, and then brought them into the house.

All the fireplaces in the fortress were burning brightly, and although the fortress was large, the temperature inside remained above zero, all thanks to A-Liu.

Lin Ruo took off her heavy cotton coat and saw that Afu and Ashou's water basins were empty. Fearing they were thirsty, she quickly filled them with some lake water.

Afu and Ashou immediately ran to drink water; they were thirsty after running around outside all day. Lin Ruo then sat down on the sofa to rest. After so many days of staying at home, the relaxed and carefree life had almost made her forget what the outside world was like.

Without Afu and Ashou by her side that afternoon, Lin Ruo killed more than thirty people. These survivors probably thought she was easy to bully since she was all alone, and people kept coming to rob her. This is the apocalypse.

Even though these people have now joined the base in City B and can eat their fill, they will still choose to rob and kill lone individuals. Who would complain about having too many supplies?

After killing so many people, the thing she gained the most was resident cards. Including the ones she didn't use last time, she had more than 30 in her inventory.

What interested her most were the bamboo bow and crossbow.

Thinking of this, Lin Ruo took out a bamboo bow. Bamboo bows are very easy to make, but it seems that making this thing with black jade crystals would not be very powerful, because black jade crystals are tough but lack resilience and elasticity, which may actually reduce the power of the arrows.

She took out a crossbow. This was something she could try. If she could make this, could she also try out a pistol and a rifle?

I wonder if the B City base in my previous life developed those high-powered, lethal weapons based on the same idea.

Thinking of this, Lin Ruo was eager to try. Anyway, it didn't matter if she failed. She could just melt it down and start over, so it wouldn't be a waste.

Before they knew it, it was already dark outside. Ah Liu stretched her willow branch in and thoughtfully turned on the chandelier for Lin Ruo.

The sudden change in light snapped Lin Ruo out of her thoughts. She looked up and saw the clock on the opposite wall; it was already 6 p.m.

She was so engrossed in studying this thing that she didn't even take a bath with Afu and Ashou.

Afraid of making a mess, Afu and Ashou lay motionless by the living room door, obediently not disturbing Lin Ruo who was deep in thought.

Lin Ruo walked over, rubbed their heads, and said apologetically, "I'm sorry, I was so focused that I forgot about you. I'll give you a bath right away."

"Awoo!" "Woof woof!"

Afu and Ashou stood up, shook themselves, and rubbed their faces against Lin Ruo's, showing her with their actions that it was okay.

Lin Ruo smiled knowingly, then her eyes lit up with blue light. Two large water spheres quickly appeared in the air, dragging Afu and Ashou into the air and enveloping them in the water. The water temperature was just right, giving them a battle bath.

After taking a shower, she turned on the automatic vacuum cleaner. The floor in her house gets dirty even if she doesn't mop it more than twice a day.

She then went to the bedroom to take a shower, wearing fleece-lined pajamas. She put her old thermal sweatshirt and other clothes into the washing machine in the bathroom to wash them. As for the down jacket and windbreaker that were splattered with blood today, she used her water-based supernatural abilities to clean them.

After washing, the down feathers inside the down jacket were stuck together. She put the down jacket into her spatial dimension and used her mental power to carefully separate them.

She dried the down jacket after washing it and hung it in the closet before leaving the room.

It was dinnertime, and the chef, Lao Lin, was preparing dinner for the three of them. It was still mutated beast meat and fruit, but this time there were also dozens of large insects that had been blown up. Afu and Ashou really liked this.

Seeing the three of them start eating, Lin Ruo took out a grill and baking pan from her space, cut a large plate of meat slices, and some vegetables from her space, and started eating the grilled meat.

Before long, the aroma of roasted meat wafted through the fortress, and Lin Ruo ate three pounds of pork belly before she was satisfied.

After the meal, the dishes were put into the dishwasher. Before we could even wash Afu and Ashou's rice bowls, Ashou ran over and pulled her away.

It tugged at Lin Ruo's sleeve and dragged her toward the TV. Lin Ruo shook her head slightly in helplessness, already used to Ah Shou's actions.

It wants to watch TV. Ever since we let it watch Pleasant Goat and Big Big Wolf last time, it's been obsessed with it and wants to watch it every day.

Lin Ruo turned on the TV for A Shou, who eagerly lay down on the living room carpet, watching intently as the sheep and wolves battled wits on TV. Even A Fu, who had previously looked disdainful, was now watching every episode without missing a single one. It was a classic case of "I was wrong, but I was right" moment.

She felt that Afu and Ashou were exactly the same size as a child of a few years old.

After finishing here, she washed the food bowl before preparing to take a stroll outside the fortress.

She grabbed the clothes hanging by the door and covered her face with them before stepping out of the fortress. She still sprinkled a lot of insect repellent powder outside the fortress. The first batch of powder she made was almost used up, and with the insect swarm imminent, she needed to hurry up and make some more.

Before entering, Lin Ruo watered A Liu with lake water. A Liu gently rubbed the back of her hand with a willow branch. Lin Ruo patted it before entering the fortress, closing and locking the gate.

Instead of sitting in the living room watching TV, she went upstairs to continue studying crossbows.

She first used her mental power to scan all the crossbows, making out the hidden latches inside, and then, with the help of her mental power, she disassembled the crossbows.

As the crossbow was slowly disassembled, more and more parts appeared on the experimental table, many of which Lin Ruo had never even seen before.

She used black jade crystals to completely replicate the size and shape of these parts in the space, and then took them out to compare with the parts on the table.

Each time I made the parts, they were either too small or too big. I had to try many times to make them exactly the same.

Lin Ruo didn't last long. Doing this kind of delicate work is very mentally taxing. After more than an hour, Lin Ruo felt the familiar headache.

Looking at the half-finished parts in the laboratory, she still took out a dozen or so level-one crystal cores and sat on the sofa on the second floor to begin repairing her mental energy.

An hour later, Lin Ruo opened her eyes. Her mental strength had recovered, but it was already late.

Oh well, she has plenty of time anyway, she can do it tomorrow.

Lin Ruo got up and added a few more pieces of wood to the fireplace on the second floor before turning off the lights and going downstairs.

There was a dim yellow light downstairs, which Afu and Ashou left for Lin Ruo; all the other lights were turned off.

She turned off the light, went back to her bedroom, turned on the electric heater and electric blanket, and then went to wash up.

After washing up, she came out to find the room getting warmer and warmer. She snuggled into the cozy blankets and drifted off to sleep.
