Global Wasteland: I Obtained A Top Tier Shelter

Another task this time is to head to Liu Kai's shelter.

It's not far from this Natural Sulfur Ore Mountain. The reason for checking it out is because of the previous "loss of communication" with Liu Kai's Refugee Village.

Xia Feihong died at some point, and Liu Kai wasn't even among his friends anymore, having blacklisted him.

As an important trade partner with whom he exchanged a lot of goods initially, this was exceedingly abnormal.

If they were wiped out, Liu Kai should still have had some contact with him.

However, the reality was that the other party not only ignored him, but even deleted him as a friend and blocked him.

Recalling what Fei Yue said before, that Liu Kai once expressed "being able to communicate with the Lizardmen," he had a suspicion.

Could it be that Liu Kai has already become a beggar?

Unlikely.

Liu Kai used to claim to be a retired special forces soldier and was the leader of a Refugee Village of over a hundred people; becoming a beggar so easily would be too much.

"Regardless, let's go and check out his Refugee Village first.

Lin Yue watched the scenery moving continuously on the ground and finally saw a group of buildings enclosed by a circular wall up ahead.

Beside this Refugee Village, there was a small familiar lush green forest.

"We're here, Bai."

"Gawoo." Bai spiraled down and finally landed next to that small forest, and Lin Yue surprisingly found that the triangular wall he had placed there before was still intact, as was the "Stone Coffin" he made to get through a night.

"Gawoo!" Just as Lin Yue was about to take out his Telescope to observe the situation on the Refugee Village side, Bai suddenly growled at the Stone Coffin!

In almost an instant, Lin Yue raised the MP5 Submachine Gun in his hand!

Bai's warnings had never failed, and now...

"Don't, don't kill me! I'll go with you, I'll go with you, don't kill me..."

A person covered in black soot crawled out of the Stone Coffin, smelling rank and foul, and seemed to be covered in weeds and tree roots.

If this guy was lying on the ground, Lin Yue thought that without Bai around, he definitely wouldn't have noticed him.

"Who are you?" Lin Yue found it strange, how did this guy end up inside the Stone Coffin?

A wandering Survivor?

"Sir, you're a magnanimous person... huh? Lin, Lin Yue?"

The person suddenly widened his eyes, stared hard at Lin Yue, then knelt down with a thud: "Lin Yue, you've finally come, you've finally come!"

Lin Yue's hand didn't leave the trigger: "Who are you?"

"I'm Guo Lei! Guo Lei! Lin Yue, do you remember me? It's me, Guo Lei!"

Lin Yue was puzzled, Guo Lei... this name sounded familiar.

Wait, he remembered.

The one who exchanged diarrhea medicine for alloy the first time and was later blacklisted for being too hard to communicate with.

He later found out that this Guo Lei was from the Refugee Village with Xia Feihong and Liu Kai, and then once saved this guy in the Underground Ruins...

Wait a minute.

From Liu Kai's Refugee Village?

"Guo Lei, right?" Lin Yue immediately operated the blacklist function on the system panel, removed Guo Lei's name, and sent a message.

"The King covers the Earth Tiger?" Guo Lei saw the text and exclaimed joyfully.

It really was this guy.

"Guo Lei, why are you here, and not in the Refugee Village over there?"

Lin Yue had Bai stand guard, even though the other party was the dumb Guo Lei, he did not lower his guard at all.

Something was off.

Liu Kai blacklisted him, Xia Feihong was dead, and this mud-covered wild man Guo Lei wasn't in the secure Refugee Village but was hiding in this Stone Coffin.

It looked like he had been hiding for a long time.

Why on earth? This wasn't right.

"Uh, Lin, Lin Yue sir, do you have any water? I drank all the water in nearby rain puddles these past two days and haven't had any for almost a day..."

Lin Yue tossed a bottle over; water was trivial.

But thinking back, after the last disaster, there really weren't many who worried about water.

At least in the group and in the world channel, none mentioned a water shortage.

This guy sure is... unlucky.

After gulping down a bottle of mineral water, Guo Lei seemed to have regained some spirit. He glanced at the Refugee Village and then turned back to look at Lin Yue: "That, that place is dangerous! I can't go back, it'll eat people, it'll eat people!"

"Eat people?"

Lin Yue indicated that he didn't understand; this guy still liked speaking in riddles.

"Liu Meng, Sun Weike, and Zhang Qing, after we escaped, went back together to retrieve some supplies from there, and all died!" Guo Lei shivered as he spoke, as if deeply traumatized.

"Escaped, for what reason?"

"The leader went mad! He went crazy, killed our second-in-command, then killed the fourth and sixth brothers!"

Liu Kai went mad? And killed people?

"The leader took us to the Underground Ruins, to some kind of demonic altar there, and a bunch of Lizardmen surrounded us. Just when I thought I would die there, the leader walked up to those Lizardmen, handed them something, and we were let go... But after returning, the second-in-command and others thought it was too strange and questioned him about why he did so, and the leader said something about how the Lizardmen could be communicated with, there was no need for life-and-death struggles."

It matched up.

Lin Yue thought of the information Fei Yue gave him, that Liu Kai was saying nonsense about how the Lizardmen could be communicated with.

"At that time we were suspicious, wondering if the leader had gone insane. How was it possible? Those mad Lizardmen didn't even blink while killing our people and even ate our flesh! Then, while Lin, you were discussing beggar topics in the world channel, we wondered if the leader was also a beggar or something."

"A beggar? Liu Kai?" Lin Yue realized that things were indeed developing as he thought.

"Yeah, the leader, no, that bastard Liu Kai was furious after you talked about beggar topics, then the second-in-command, the fourth, the sixth, Xia Feihong, and others questioned if he was, and he went crazy, actually pulled out a steel gun and stabbed the sixth brother and Xia Feihong to death. The second-in-command and the fourth fought back but were also cut down by him. We others were terrified, and Liu Kai said he intended to take everyone to the Underground Ruins to find the Lizardmen. Then out of the ground came dozens of Lizardmen. None of us dared to take down Liu Kai and were too timid, so we followed him and the Lizardmen to the Underground Ruins."

"How did you escape afterward?"

"Later, Liu Meng, Sun Weike, Zhang Qing, and I, taking advantage of the Lizardmen and Liu Kai walking upfront, slowly fell back, then sprinted through the stone gate back to the side of the Refugee Village. But we didn't dare return to the Refugee Village. Remembering that you had made a stone house here, we hunkered down through the disaster in this place. Then yesterday, the three of them went to the Refugee Village and all died there! In the Refugee Village, there must be something... something that eats people!"

As Guo Lei said this, he started crying, collapsing to the ground as if drained of all strength.

Lin Yue was silent.

If what Guo Lei said was true, things weren't looking good.

Liu Kai became a beggar? This... was absurd.

Initially, he had suspected this result, but hearing it confirmed from another's mouth was truly hard to accept.

Liu Kai was originally a retired special forces soldier... If such a person were a trade partner or ally, Lin Yue wouldn't be concerned.

But now, this guy became a beggar and an enemy...

Lin Yue looked at the system panel, focusing on the still-colored avatar of Liu Kai, who had blacklisted him.

Could this guy become the biggest threat?

As the leader of the Refugee Village, Liu Kai might also be a leading figure among the beggars.

"Lin Yue, Lin Yue sir, please take me away, I'll do anything for you! I don't eat much, not a lot of trouble, just take me with you!" Guo Lei finally stopped crying, pleading to Lin Yue.

However, Lin Yue had no intention of adding another burden.

"We'll see about that. First, come with me to the Refugee Village; I really want to see what could eat people!"
