Global Wasteland: I Obtained A Top Tier Shelter

[You have gained 1 cubic meter of Storage Space]

[You have gained 3 cubic meters of Storage Space]

[You have gained...]

Beside the beggars' tattered bodies, Lin Yue kept picking up those starlike light points.

In total, he gained another 62 cubic meters of Storage Space.

Each light point represented the Storage Space its former owner once possessed.

These light points were evidence of their once having been in this world.

When people die, it's like a light going out.

Whether they were Survivors or beggars working for the Lizardmen, after death, they were just corpses and these light points.

These people, back on Earth, perhaps had various professions and life experiences, but now, they were just incomplete corpses, without any significance.

"Why choose this path?"

Collaborating with the Lizardmen, these people enjoyed the process and the current situation.

They helped the Lizardmen advance their civilization and assisted them in eliminating the Survivors on the surface.

Like worthless maggots, disgusting and infuriating.

Having lost their human dignity and humanity, they deserved to become dilapidated corpses, slowly decaying deep underground.

The only regret Lin Yue felt about these corpses was that he wasn't the one who had dealt with them, but Xiao Meng was.

"However, gaining 67 cubic meters is pretty good."

Lin Yue did notice that most of these beggars' Storage Spaces were 1 cubic meter, with only a few having three or four, no more than that.

Previously, the Storage Space obtained from attacking his Shelter and from Berg Stone Quarry and Nitrate Ore was more substantial.

Especially that one time, there were seven or eight cubic meters, an absurd amount.

But that was just once; perhaps some particularly powerful beggars were taken out, which made it possible.

Lin Yue gathered those corpses together, piling them into a small mound.

These things were rather unsightly; the Lizardmen were one thing, but he didn't want to put these beggars into the Storage Space. There was a natural aversion to it.

"Next up..." Lin Yue looked at the massive room in front of him, the gigantic room of this Underground Ruins whose specific zone was still unknown.

"Gurrr!" Xiao Meng suddenly called out behind him.

Hmm? What's wrong?

Lin Yue turned around to see Xiao Meng entering the enormous room, followed closely by the Little Ice Lizards.

He saw them heading towards the wall in the innermost corner of the room, then calling out to him.

"Is there something over there? Calling me over..." Lin Yue's gaze shifted towards the large relief carving on the innermost wall.

The relief, as usual, featured many Lizardmen and various monsters depicted, with the two moons as the main subjects, just like the previous two carvings.

Summoning the system's camera function, Lin Yue took a picture of it first.

He'd look closely later.

"Xiao Meng, what is there?" Lin Yue turned to the wall, seeing Xiao Meng and the others patting it with their front claws, signaling him to look.

Lin Yue took a flashlight and carefully inspected it, noticing three gaps here, two vertical and one horizontal.

"Hmm? This seems to be... a door?"

Though the seams were not completely straight, they clearly outlined a door about three meters wide and four meters high.

Lin Yue pushed hard, even called Xiao Meng to help, but only heard the muffled "clunk" from inside; the door didn't budge.

He thought for a moment, looked at the two circles in the center of the room, and placed a unit of stone on one, then immediately weighed down the other with a stone as well.

Clunk, clunk...

The teeth-grinding sound resounded, and unlike before, nothing new appeared at the center of the room's floor.

Instead, the previously unmovable door beside Xiao Meng raised a cloud of dust, and suddenly, an indescribable stench surged in!

Lin Yue quickly covered his mouth and nose, hurriedly taking a gas mask and goggles from the Storage Space!

Xiao Meng and the Little Ice Lizards rushed over and immediately darted into the outer passage.

After donning the gas mask and goggles, Lin Yue proceeded in that direction.

This smell... it was nothing else.

The stench of corpses.

The aroma of extreme decay was just like this.

Lin Yue waited a moment and finally mustered the courage to move forward, crossing the threshold and shining his flashlight ahead.

This was a passageway; where did it lead?

And what caused this corpse stench? Didn't the Lizardmen dispose of the bodies?

Previously, be they Lizardmen's own or beggars', Lizardmen would gather them and restore the Underground Ruins to their original appearance.

But this time, it seemed different.

The smell of decay grew stronger as Lin Yue continued forward, walking about ten meters when he suddenly received system information!

[Congratulations, you have breached Zone C2 of the Underground Ruins!]
