Global Wasteland: I Obtained A Top Tier Shelter

Things were going smoothly.

Lin Yue tirelessly dismantled the heavy asphalt road piece by piece into raw materials and stored them in the Storage Space, occasionally taking out the Lizardmen attracted by the previous loud noise.

Of course, both Xiaoliuzi and Hongxian were also thrilled, killing many Lizardmen as soon as they emerged from the ground, leaving behind only corpses.

The Light-Dissolving Nightwear Set is truly a Divine Artifact.

Wearing it didn't feel stuffy at all, almost like wearing nothing; it was breathable, comfortable, and fitting, making Lin Yue feel as if he was completely merged into the boundless night.

After smearing themselves with the Lizardmen's blood and sweat, all sorts of mutated creatures of the night avoided them, fleeing away.

Lin Yue put away the treasure chest and continued his work at hand.

The 304 slabs of asphalt road brought back by Fei Yue and the others precisely decomposed into one cubic meter per unit, and halfway through, Lin Yue began paving further forward.

One unit of asphalt was just enough to pave a layer five meters long and five meters wide.

In this deep night, a straight, brand new road constantly appeared before him, extending endlessly to the east.

The process was tedious, but the sense of accomplishment was high.

The Otherworld was barren and primitive, a far cry from the Earth covered in man-made objects.

In this quiet night, the ever-extending road brought a touch of Earth's modern civilization's incongruity to this desolate Otherworld.

Occasionally, Lin Yue casually took out the Lizardmen startled by the commotion, collected the treasure chest, and continued paving.

When the materials ran out, he walked back to decompose more materials, repeating the cycle.

Lin Yue wasn't slow; it didn't take long for him to repair the road to its destination.

"Finally here." Lin Yue saw the somewhat familiar, deep pit he had been to before and knew he had finally arrived at Belger's mining site.

However, this mining site had turned into a small pond from the previous rainfall. Though there wasn't much water, it was still not quite the right time for mining.

"If the high temperature continues, we should be able to mine by the day after tomorrow at the latest," he thought.

The gap in the stone materials needed to build high-level walls was significant, but using various resources at hand to trade for stones that were easy and common for others felt like a loss.

The last hurricane and thunderstorm disaster had also turned stones into a hard currency, and even after the disaster, many people still didn't ease the supply of stones, preparing for the next "triple disaster".

Moreover, after the last disaster, water resources were no longer the major threat to survivors, and the hard currency status of water directly declined, leading to needing to pay with more exquisite resources like wine, whiskey, and vegetables to trade for stones.

To break this situation, one must mine on their own!

The stone materials over at the Natural Sulfur Ore Mountain were scarce and couldn't be relied on; they could only suffice for assembling the Shelter materials.

If mining was truly desired, Belger's mining site was the only option.

Belger was once ranked third among survivors on the leaderboard, but he might have encountered an accident and ended up dying in that mine with another survivor, leaving behind this resource-rich mining site.

Lin Yue looked down at the pit, recalling how a group of raiders had once cornered him into the mine here, feeling as if it happened ages ago.

Back then, he didn't have as many weapons at hand, nor was he as composed as he is now.

During the battles, there really weren't many options.

When one is weak, the mentality is also weak.

When one is strong, the mentality becomes incredibly strong.

Taking a deep breath, Lin Yue, ready to take the sand ATV back, suddenly noticed a small patch of white further to the east.

White? Could it be snowing?

No, how could it be snowing at this time of year! It would be a stroke of luck not to catch fire in the 40-degree heat of the day.

Lin Yue picked up the Sighting Scope for a better look but still couldn't make it out clearly, just a vague, small piece, quite conspicuous in the dark night.

It wasn't supposed to be a towering mountain in that direction...

Should he go take a look?

"Pugi." The two Little Ice Lizards at his side remained vigilant, but there hadn't been any Lizardmen showing up here for some time. They raised their heads, awaiting Lin Yue's next command.

However, just as Lin Yue mounted the sand ATV and touched the keys, he stopped.

"No way, it doesn't look particularly close, who knows how long it would take to venture over?"

Initially tempted, Lin Yue glanced at the deeper darkness, calming down.

Despite his curiosity, venturing over there recklessly was not a wise move.

If he were to go, he would have to drive, but driving in the middle of the night was perilous, with no road and an unknown terrain; even the regional map showed that direction as a black void.

Moreover, the engine noise wouldn't be minimal, and getting stuck with no road would be infuriating.

Instead of going now, why not have Bai fly him over tomorrow, or drive over and see what's up?

After memorizing the direction and location, Lin Yue turned the vehicle around and started the engine.

Driving to an unfamiliar place was out of the question, but heading back posed no problem—after all, there was nothing to fear on the freshly paved road.

The sand ATV's engine roared, echoing in the silent night as its headlights illuminated the road, and Lin Yue soon set off, racing down the straight path!

Nothing hindered his journey, not even any Lizardmen or such. Not until he stopped outside the Shelter did a few Lizardmen peek out from the ground.

But they couldn't escape the fate of being quickly dispatched by Xiaoliuzi and Hongxian, meeting their doom swiftly.

Finally, after all the fuss, he returned to the Shelter.

Entering through the emergency exit, he arrived in the basement, where Bai and Xiaomeng awaited, seemingly having sat there for a long time.

"I'm okay." Though he said he was fine, Lin Yue indeed felt a bit exhausted. Though stimulating, laying such a long road at night was genuinely tiring.

After giving Xiaoliuzi and Hongxian a good wash for accompanying him through the ordeal, Lin Yue entered the bathroom himself, scrubbing the Light-Dissolving Nightwear Set and washing off the scent from himself.

The scent of Lizardmen's blood and sweat was genuinely unpleasant, reminiscent of the scent of centipedes he used to catch as a child.

After a thorough scrub with the lemon-scented shower gel that had come from a previous unboxing, he managed to get rid of most of the odor.

Confirming the machine dogs were charging, Lin Yue stretched with a yawn.

This time, as he lay back in bed, Lin Yue decided against any more fuss; it was deep into the night, and he needed a good rest.

Tomorrow, he needed to explore what's really there in that white patch, even if there wasn't much, some stone extraction was still necessary.

Bai, Xiaomeng, and the other Little Ice Lizards stayed in the living room enjoying the 17-degree air conditioning, while Lin Yue set his room's climate control to a comfortable 28 degrees, falling asleep peacefully.
