Outside the fortress, only Old White remained holding the line, while the other four had all run off to play in the snow.
A giant snowman appeared outside the fortress gate. Old Bai, who was left behind, manipulated more than a dozen branches, carving back and forth on the snowman. Lin Ruo nodded. The outline of the snowman had now emerged, and it was clearly her.
Lin Ruo curled the corners of her lips. She hadn't expected Lao Bai to have this side to him. She turned around and went back to the bathroom to take a shower. When she came out of the bathroom feeling refreshed, her stomach started rumbling.
The prolonged heatwave has left Lin Ruo with almost no appetite. Although her body doesn't experience any problems even if she doesn't consume enough energy due to her water-based healing abilities, she has still lost a significant amount of weight.
Now that the weather is getting cooler, she finally has an appetite and starts to want to eat. Thinking of those delicious meals, she can't help but swallow.
She focused her mental energy into the space, wanting to see what food she wanted to eat among the stored food, but last time she had mostly cooked stir-fries and the like, and there were no tempting snacks at all.
She really wants to eat the snacks that she used to only be able to get from street stalls. But she can't help it, she's already finished all the ones she bought over the years, so now if she wants to eat them, she has to make them herself.
However, today was the first day of the blizzard, and she still had to go out, so she didn't do anything complicated. She just made herself a few pancakes and a plate of grilled cold noodles, which was her makeshift breakfast.
Back in my room, I took out the down jacket I had worn during the extreme cold and put it on. Now that the temperature was only -20 degrees Celsius, I didn't need to bundle up as much as I had during the extreme cold.
She stepped out of the fortress. The snow that had just been cleared at five o'clock had, after several hours of effort, piled up to Lin Ruo's knees again.
With a thought, she expanded her spatial domain once more, clearing away the snow covering the mutated forest with a single click.
"Old Bai, I'm going out for a bit. I'll be back before tonight."
Old White's branches lightly touched the air and made some gestures towards Lin Ruo. After learning from A Liu for so long, Old White could already make Lin Ruo understand what it wanted to express. It was telling her to be careful.
Lin Ruo nodded, his spatial domain unfolded, and he instantly teleported away.
The snow on the mountain peak was now nearly two meters high. Lin Ruo stepped on the ice layer attached to the snow, ignoring the white snow around him, and headed straight for the summit of the eastern mountain. The summit was covered with snow. Lin Ruo's mental energy swept over the snow, and his brows furrowed slightly. Because it was extremely cold, the snow had no adhesion after falling, so any slightly larger movement could easily cause an avalanche.
At this moment, some snowflakes had already begun to "flow" down the mountain. Lin Ruo frowned even more. It hadn't even been a day, and snow had already started to slide down. If they waited another two days, an avalanche would definitely happen.
It seems that in order to prevent the falling snow from flooding her fortress, she needs to clear the snow off it every other day. Fortunately, her space is infinitely large, so putting the snow into her space will not have any effect.
As she was thinking, she suddenly looked up into the distance, where a helicopter was speeding past her mountain peak.
The helicopter didn't linger; in fact, Lin Ruo's mental strength detected that the helicopter accelerated as it flew over her mountain peak.
Lin Ruo "..."
She doesn't need to shoot down every passing plane; she can just fly by quietly, there's no need to speed up.
Lin Ruo recognized the helicopter; it was clearly a plane belonging to the Pharmaceutical Research Association. It seemed that the C City base was about to make another deal with the B City base.
Lin Ruo withdrew her gaze from the plane and waited until it had flown far away and was no longer visible before she began to clear the snow from the mountain. However, instead of clearing it all out like she had done outside the fortress, she only cleared the top layer of snow, about a meter thick. This not only reduced the thickness of the snow on the mountain peak, but also made it appear as a white expanse from a distance, so that it was not noticeable from any other angle.
Once she had brought the snow depth within a safe range, she deployed her spatial domain and quickly teleported to other locations.
Unbeknownst to her, the four superhumans on the departing helicopter breathed a long sigh of relief as the helicopter safely flew over Lin Ruo's mountain peak.
Previously, when their base cooperated with the base in City B to fly over, they would always take a long detour to bypass this mountain.
But now it's snowing heavily, and long-distance flight is already dangerous. If they take a long detour, their danger will only double. That's why they decided to take Jiang Yue's advice and risk it.
They had just seen Lin Ruo standing on the mountaintop, her black down jacket standing out starkly against the white snow. Heaven knows their hearts were pounding at that moment, thinking they hadn't checked the almanac before leaving home. They had just decided to fly over directly when they saw this jinx.
But this evil star had already spotted them and was looking up at them. They had no choice but to speed up and fly over, but they didn't expect that she would only glance at them before looking down at the snow on the mountain peaks, and had no intention of doing anything to them.
"It seems that the B City base understands her better. Even though she has a bad reputation, she is not actually a very evil person."
"That's for sure, otherwise how could so many people from the Azure Scale Base have survived before?"
"Don't give me that. Now you know, you were the one who was most afraid when we were crossing that mountain peak!"
"Who said that! I was just nervous when I met my idol!"
"Yes, it's nervousness."
On the helicopter, the superhumans relaxed and joked with each other. Now that the B City base was in sight, they became much more serious. They had come with an important mission and hoped to achieve cooperation this time.
