Global Wasteland: I Obtained A Top Tier Shelter

The scorching sun and suffocating heat ravaged the land.

Flowers and plants wilted under the sun, and mutant creatures dug various sized holes in the Otherworld to crawl into or sought out caves to escape the heat.

In various refugee villages, people were forced to stay in basements, and even ventured into Underground Ruins or Secret Realms to escape the sudden harsh weather.

Meanwhile, in the Shelter's bedroom, Lin Yue relaxed on the sofa with the air conditioning set to a comfortable 20 degrees, switching the drink in his hand from iced tea to iced cola.

He took several large gulps, enjoying the refreshing burst of cold bubbles in his mouth, and let out a long belch.

"Refreshing."

Lin Yue summed up his post-battle enjoyment.

They had eliminated the monsters in the Secret Realm, gained numerous treasure chests, and tested a new combat method.

Additionally, having defeated the Poison Celestial Dragon, he not only acquired a Platinum Treasure Chest but also thwarted another Lizardman conspiracy.

It should be said, yet another conspiracy.

The morning had been quite fulfilling and meaningful.

With many gains on his side and significant blows to the Lizardmen, Lin Yue assumed they must now be pondering their next strategy to handle his Shelter or notifying more Lizardmen to attack.

Lin Yue always believed that despite the vast number of Lizardmen and their widespread distribution, their intelligence wasn't fully shared as one might imagine.

It's even possible that, much like humans on Earth, Lizardmen have so-called countries or more primitive "tribes."

Given their low productivity, perhaps tribes aren't merely thousands; they might be beyond imagination in number.

However, Lin Yue now confirmed that the attacking Lizardmen were entirely incited by those beggars.

The number of attacking Lizardmen depended on the number of those beggars.

Unless one side disappears completely, such chaotic battles would continue.

Lin Yue took another sip of iced cola.

This was newly acquired from a Silver Treasure Chest, opening six two-liter bottles at once, half regular, half zero sugar.

It was perfect for this sudden heatwave.

Simply drinking cola wasn't quite enough; Lin Yue grabbed a bunch of steaming grilled lamb skewers from his Storage Space.

Enjoying skewers and iced cola in an air-conditioned room, it would be even better with some peanuts or edamame.

"Speaking of which, it was always around thirty degrees before, but now it's suddenly forty-one; it's absurd."

Lin Yue felt that this disasters would indeed be linked to extreme temperatures.

Otherwise, the heat is simply outrageous.

Since he arrived in this Otherworld, temperatures have been relatively comfortable. Apart from the initial snow disaster, which was indeed a bit chilly, it had been around thirty degrees.

But since this morning, temperatures have been on the rise, reaching forty-one degrees as he checked the thermometer outside before entering the Shelter.

This alarming temperature might not be the highest for today, and tomorrow's temperature might be even more extreme, something Lin Yue couldn't know yet.

But he was certain that if he couldn't find shading nets, his vegetable yield might drop to zero in the coming days.

The greenhouse was extremely hot, and due to high temperatures and humidity caused by light refraction from the film membrane, the crops inside were in semi-dead states.

Thus, before entering the Shelter, he built stone walls to enclose the greenhouses, preventing further losses.

He certainly didn't want to experience the inside's high temperature and humidity again.

"Shading nets... Nobody in the world's trade channel is selling them, it seems they can only be obtained through treasure chests or Secret Realms."

At present, these are the most needed items.

He remembered visiting high-tech greenhouses where staff electrically operated shading nets over the entire greenhouse, lowering temperatures shortly afterwards.

Combined with fans and water curtains surrounding the greenhouse, it becomes quite comfortable, even reducing temperature by over fifteen degrees, remarkably convenient.

However, such a greenhouse was constructed from thick organic glass and steel frame, unlike his setup with iron and plastic.

He didn't ask for fans, curtains, or electric nets; simply wanting shading nets, yet seeing none in the World Mall or Survival Points Mall.

"Fortunately, I have quite a few chests, maybe they'll contain shading nets?"

He drank up the remaining cola.

Bai and the others stayed in the living room, seemingly indulging in the chilly 17 degrees, with no intention of moving.

In fact, it appeared the Ice Lizards really feared heat.

The battle ended quickly thanks to Bai and the others later aiding significantly.

All seemed eager to swiftly finish the fight and return indoors to enjoy air conditioning, which was amusingly similar to humans.

Most of the day had passed amid construction and combat, surprisingly busy at the very start of this cycle of catastrophe.

Many things were left undone.

Road paving was halted due to lack of materials.

The Underground Ruins were too troublesome to visit.

The Secret Realm was avoided for the same reason; the Ancient Gate was broken, its stability unknown, so he opted to observe for now.

Currently, he should indeed visit the Natural Sulfur Ore Mountain, as many days passed since the last Lizardman attack when he last examined it.

With that thought, Lin Yue left his comfy sofa, headed to the workshop, and stowed six machine dogs charging there into his Storage Space.

Though he hadn't seen nitrate yet, he still had plenty of Sulfur Ore left and couldn't let the Lizardmen waste it all.

He opened the living room door, a rush of cold air enveloped him; inside, Bai and Xiaomeng comfortably lay on sheepskin, softly conversing, as if communicating.

"Xiaomeng, lead the Little Ice Lizards in guarding the Shelter. Bai, we're heading out!"

After Lin Yue issued the command, Bai immediately stood up while Xiaomeng and the others rose to send them off.

"Gawu?" Bai felt reluctant leaving the air-conditioned room but understood that following the master's orders was paramount.

"Bai, we're headed to the Natural Sulfur Ore Mountain, are you ready?"

Opening the Shelter's main door, a surge of heat rushed in.

"Gawu!"

Bai spread its wings, and Lin Yue mounted it.

With vigorous flapping, a strong wind arose and quickly, they soared into the sky together!
