NOVEL NEXT Chapter 315: Great Harvest!
Lin Yue pushed open the doors of one Shelter after another, harvesting quickly along the way.
Every shot accurately opened a hole in the beggar's forehead, then moved on to the next one.
The deep night was far from calm.
The howls and low roars of mutated creatures provided significant convenience for Lin Yue's actions, allowing him to effortlessly enter those Shelter doors and swiftly take the lives of sixty-three beggars!
Of course, Lin Yue also obtained a large amount of something he didn't have to mine for—saltpeter!
And it was as much as 483 units!
The patrols of the Lizardmen weren't as tight as imagined; Lin Yue discovered they would just pause a few meters in front of the Shelter doors and then leave, without actually going inside to inspect.
This certainly saved him some trouble. If the Lizardmen showed any signs of movement, he had other methods to divert their attention, avoiding such a scenario.
In his hand, he had confiscated some homemade gunpowder from the Lizardmen. Although its quality was quite questionable, it was still capable of producing loud noises and light effects.
Of course, he could also use his MP5 to quickly pinpoint and take down an entire squad of Lizardmen, wiping them out completely.
What was that saying again?
As long as we kill everyone who sees us, our assassination is successful.
But it was apparent that the Lizardmen were typical of squandering opportunities given to them; their formation was loose, their attitude lax, and discipline was merely a formality. Forming a long line and moving forward seemed to be the only thing they could do well.
This was no different than when they were in the Underground Ruins, always like this, not yet elevating their fighting capabilities from the Stone Age to the Iron Age.
Lin Yue observed once more and entered another Shelter.
And here, things seemed to be happening that he couldn't understand.
Four Lizardmen were holding down a beggar, clapping...
Hmm? What is this.
Lin Yue was momentarily stunned, then immediately shot the Lizardman who turned around, then quickly exploded the heads of two more rushing in. The bullets fired rapidly; soon, the four Lizardmen inside the Shelter, along with the remaining three male beggars, were all taken down by him.
Four Copper Treasure Chests, and 5 cubic meters Storage Space.
The bodies of the Lizardmen were stored in the Storage Space.
Lin Yue looked at the beggar who had seemed joyful moments ago and couldn't help but shoot him in the face again.
This guy looked quite like someone from Sange's side, really has heavy taste.
No matter who's the initiator, this was something he couldn't endure.
With a strong sense of discomfort, Lin Yue gently pushed the wooden door open a crack, and suddenly saw that five meters away from the door, a team of Lizardmen had appeared from nowhere!
He immediately flashed behind the door!
"Sa! Sa!" The Lizardmen growled lowly, holding long guns, already in a combat-ready state!
Goodness, what startled this bunch of things?
The racket of those guys just now was way louder than the silenced gunshots!
Could it be the smell of blood?
Lin Yue raised the barrel of his MP5, aiming through the crack at the Lizardmen outside!
However, before he could fire, the two Lizardmen at the forefront directly walked towards the door, even throwing their weapons onto the ground.
They moved closer to the Shelter, growling "Sa Sa" and clapping slowly and wagging their tails.
Hmm? What's this...
Bang! The wooden door was kicked open, and the two Lizardmen walked in, not noticing him at all!
Oh, so that's how it is.
Lin Yue instantly understood something, took another step back, and crouched down.
The door was kicked shut heavily, and one of the Lizardmen suddenly held a lit torch in its hand.
In the flickering firelight, their grotesque and twisted expressions made Lin Yue recall the previous scene.
Indeed, they came to this room... to applaud with those Sange's guys.
Well then...
Two shots quickly brought them down to the ground, and just like before, Lin Yue stored their bodies in the Storage Space.
It was resolved, but not completely.
Unless the Lizardmen came one by one like the Calabash Brothers rescuing their grandfather, these corpses inside would definitely be discovered.
For some reason, human bodies couldn't be stuffed into the Storage Space, which was completely different from the Lizardmen's situation, something Lin Yue couldn't comprehend.
And this indeed put him at an impasse at the moment.
Getting out was easy, his Light-Dissolving Nightwear Set made it nearly impossible for the Lizardmen to spot him easily.
But the corpses inside would end his stealth assassination operation prematurely today.
Maybe go out and shoot the Lizardmen one by one?
The drawback is the Copper Treasure Chests would keep popping up, but... hold on, Copper Treasure Chest?
Isn't that a pretty good bait?
Lin Yue had an idea, just unsure how effective it would be.
Then...
He opened the door lightly again, taking out a Copper Treasure Chest and placing it between the door and doorframe!
Next...
"Sa? Sa!"
The appearance of the Copper Treasure Chest immediately grabbed the attention of the Lizardmen; Lin Yue saw through the crack that three or four Lizardmen had already approached.
Hooked? That easy?
Just as the Lizardmen were about to reach the door, Lin Yue quickly stored the Copper Treasure Chest in the Storage Space, while the Lizardmen outside let out indescribable cries.
He placed the chest again, next to the wall opposite the door, while hiding by the doorway.
Soon, the door was pushed open, and unexpectedly five Lizardmen walked in, heading straight for the Copper Treasure Chest, Lin Yue then smoothly closed the door for them.
Five shots, Lin Yue fired with ease.
The barrel getting a bit warm, Lin Yue switched to another gun.
Repeating the trick, Lin Yue opened the door and placed the Copper Treasure Chest again.
Really, these Lizardmen are foolish, acting enchanted whenever they see a Copper Treasure Chest, like seeing a family member.
Thinking back, it seemed they would recklessly scramble for a Copper Treasure Chest every time they saw one, not caring even if their comrades died.
Following the same pattern, Lin Yue attracted six this time.
After they turned into corpses, Lin Yue repeated the process, finally luring in another five.
Taking them down as well, he took a peek outside, only four left, no need to keep playing like this.
He picked up a sniper rifle, aimed at the unfortunate ones outside who dared not come in, and shot them in the head one by one!
Goodness, this stealth assassination feels like a direct head-on push.
Lin Yue collected their bodies and the chests, looking outside.
Assassination was more exhausting than imagined, and in this late night, in the enemy's lair, anything could happen.
Like what happened just now, he didn't want to go through that again.
Just thinking of the Lizardmen and the Sange involved earlier, he felt nauseous.
What was all that?
Have their minds and brains gone bad?
He shook his head and proceeded to three more Shelters, after taking down 16 more people, finally returned to the place he came from, climbed back up the wall via rope, immediately collected the rope, then took out a ladder, set it on his constructed high wall and smoothly descended to the ground from there.
Collecting the high wall as well, he passed through the Lizardmen's patrol blockade, finally returning to Bai's side once more.
"This trip wasn't in vain either. Bai, let's go back." Lin Yue patted Bai's shoulder, letting the little one scoop him up and fly towards the direction of the Shelter.
27 Copper Treasure Chests, 105 cubic meters Storage Space.
Additionally, 483 units of saltpeter.
Quite a harvest!
