Chapter 340: Collect, Collect! What's the purpose of 824 cubic meters of Storage Space?_2
He needed alloy, and naturally, he didn't want to miss out on various spare parts either.
The roads needed repairs, machine dogs had to be built, and glass greenhouses needed constructing. Of course, if possible, the shelter could also be bigger and more numerous!
A day quickly passed, and being a collection fanatic, Lin Yue didn't miss a single useful thing in this place.
Even after scraping away the surface, he ventured into the buildings and collected various metal decorations from some shops, as well as glass, window frames, and indescribable machines, watches, belts, and clothes.
Running back and forth in this Secret Realm several times, Lin Yue maintained a rather excited mood.
He also stored everything from here except the main structure of the roadside skyscrapers into the storage space.
He didn't encounter many monsters; with Lizardman's sweat blood applied on him, even if he did encounter any, they would immediately flee, scurrying away like cockroaches.
Moreover, the monsters here were primarily small-sized, with the only large one being the broodmother Blood-sucking Worm seen before in that Tokyo Tower hotel, but that thing was nothing in front of the current Lin Yue.
Bai only needed to stomp on its tail with a big foot, spraying icy mist to freeze it, and then use sharp claws to separate its head from its body, simple and quick, the action was extremely efficient.
During his search, Lin Yue also focused on finding materials like alloy and glass windows that were in short supply.
And by dusk, the fog here had quietly dissipated.
Looking at the towering skyscraper above his head, Lin Yue realized, they were really quite tall.
"Bai, take me up to have a look, what exactly is this place... Could it be another famous big city?"
The time was a bit tight. Although he could send up a drone to check, Lin Yue still wanted to personally verify what kind of place this was. If he got a chance to come again, he could be more familiar then.
Soon, Bai carried him into the high altitude, and Lin Yue surveyed the surroundings as strong gusts of wind blew against him.
In the massive city, countless collapsed and precarious skyscrapers, the sea in the distance, and island beaches...
When Lin Yue looked toward the coast, he quickly spotted a "landmark"!
"That slightly greenish pouring big guy looks kind of familiar, could it be... Bai, get closer!" Lin Yue commanded Bai, pointing toward the green giant.
Countless black shadows in the sky took off at this time, approaching Bai and him from all directions.
Storm Flying Lizards, these things are extremely annoying.
However, before takeoff, Lin Yue had Bai apply Lizardman's sweat blood on itself, so he wasn't afraid no matter how many Storm Flying Lizards there were.
"Bai, even though there's no threat, let's still deal with a batch of them first!"
Bai immediately flapped its wings and flew toward the spire of the tallest skyscraper.
That building seemed to be one of the highest points in this city, and its multi-layer concentric arched cross-shaped dome made of interconnected sloping planes was quite recognizable.
The countless metal rivets and triangular windows interspersing the radiantly expanding electroplated arched dome, from bottom to top, each level gradually shrank and retreated.
Lin Yue confirmed once again where this place was.
"The Chrysler Building, right? Its top decorations are quite nice."
Lin Yue was placed by Bai under the triangular glass at the spire, and gathered the thick glass behind him into the storage space. After entering this tiny space, feeling the malicious intent brought by the slanted low ceiling, he also collected the other three windows and quickly set up the sniper rifle.
Whiz!!
A bullet shot out, simultaneously as a black shadow dropped from the air!
Bai was equally active, perhaps having a lot of pent-up energy, constantly swooping in the sky and ferociously killing those Storm Flying Lizards that seemed to only have the ability to fly!
The sniper rifle kept changing positions and firing bullets continuously, and before long, the gun barrel was getting scorching hot!
Lin Yue realized that he almost had a "sixth sense" regarding sniping now. Seemingly from becoming overly familiar with the feel, he as a sniper who fed countless bullets had a perfect aim, rapidly reducing the vast number of Storm Flying Lizards.
Of course, Bai was quite capable too; in just about a dozen minutes, with the sunset emitting an orange glow, they successfully turned nearly a hundred Storm Flying Lizards into corpses!
Lin Yue's fingers approached the sniper rifle's barrel, feeling an instant searing sensation.
He felt that he might need to prepare more; this single-shot sniper rifle was used extremely frequently. If it malfunctioned, the situation could change instantly.
Contemplating this, Lin Yue stored the sniper rifle back into the storage space, while Bai grabbed onto the window frame of the platform's edge with a great claw, fixing its position.
"Bai, now that we know where this place is, there's no need to go to that copper statue. Let's start dismantling the entirely stainless-steel roof of the Chrysler Building first!"
Saying that, Lin Yue touched the spire of the roof with the High-Precision Research Workstation, and soon, a large amount of stainless steel replaced the disappearing spire and appeared on top!
He began collecting at the fastest speed, and immediately continued to the next stage of work, continuously converting the rivets and strip structures and outer shell of the top into raw material stainless steel, while the storage space filled rapidly.
It didn't take long before he had cleared out this small space of walls and roof entirely, and not yet satisfied, he continued down to dismantle the next floor.
Bai watched with interest as its master moved with the demeanor of a demolition expert, already quite accustomed to it.
However, it seemed its master was collecting more important materials than before, as the actions and pace were much quicker.
Looking up at the sun that had mostly descended below the horizon in the distance, Bai spread its wings.
It was unfamiliar with this world.
Unlike the side where they came from, the number of monsters here was numerous and densely packed, with some even quite powerful, capable of passing through the gate to the side of the shelter from here.
Bai held a natural aversion to those Lizardmen with green scales, and this aversion deepened as they brought more enemies attacking the shelter, attacking its master.
"Gawu." Bai glanced at its master, who was still busy.
Its master seemed quite excited and it didn't want to disturb him. Having dismantled the top floors and the spire, it felt a bit better than before, no longer needing to grip the window frame tightly.
However, the scent of many unfamiliar enemies seemed to grow stronger with the onset of night.
"Bai, more enemies?" Lin Yue paused his work and looked up at Bai.
Opportunities come with dangers.
This phrase aptly describes the Secret Realm.
Especially in this resource-rich special Secret Realm.
The nearly hundred Storm Flying Lizards just now might not have necessarily attacked them, but they were still a threat.
Who knows how effective Lizardman's sweat blood will be in this Secret Realm?
Could there be creatures completely immune to it?
Like natural enemies of Lizardmen...
Lin Yue recalled the murals shot in Zone C and C2 that he hadn't properly looked at yet.
He only remembered that they depicted the ancient rituals of the Lizardmen, with densely packed patterns of various bizarre monsters.
The various monsters he had encountered thus far weren't even a fraction, so perhaps there indeed might be incomprehensible existences.
For instance, in those mysterious deep oceans!
Lin Yue glanced at the sea in the distance and then collected several dozen more units of stainless steel, noticing that only a sliver of the sun remained at the horizon.
Darkness was about to descend, and light was fading away.
The current Earth wasn't the familiar place known to humans, but a more mysterious, dangerous, unfamiliar, and terrifying one.
It had been claimed by countless monsters, and with the current human abilities, the most they could do was gather resources.
Lin Yue rode Bai soaring through this New York night, where there were no dazzling lights, no constant stream of vehicles, and none of the crazy humans originally here.
What remained were countless towering skyscrapers, some perhaps collapsing at any time, and...
Endless, endless desolation and fear.
