Global Wasteland: I Obtained A Top Tier Shelter

Lin Yue glanced at the sun still hanging high in the sky and suddenly felt as if he were in a different world.

At this moment, inside the Special Ancient Secret Realm Gate, it was pitch black, filled with countless unknown creatures making rustling sounds, completely engulfed by night.

Yet, in the Otherworld, it was still daytime, and only a little past three in the afternoon.

This was the so-called "time difference" of the Special Secret Realm, just like the previous time on the island: daytime here, night over there.

Across the desert, the heat was still terrifying, and the intensity of the scorching sun was nearly killing all those once lush plants, leaving them lifeless.

The muggy air constantly enveloped them, sharply contrasting with the coolness of the Secret Realm.

"I can now understand why some people would seek refuge from the heat in the Secret Realm before disasters strike; it's far too uncomfortable outside here."

Lin Yue sensed that there might be a great many people either inside the Secret Realm or the Underground Ruins, with only a few staying in the Otherworld.

Perhaps many people, seeking ways to survive the disaster, have been resting in the Secret Realm or Underground Ruins in recent days, waiting to be summoned by the system when the disaster arrives or remaining in the Underground Ruins.

Other methods... in combating such a dreadful disaster, there's not much they can do.

Digging a basement might be a good option, provided they can come out afterward, and it stays cool and ventilated inside.

However, these are conditions on the premise that they can reinforce all the facilities on the surface of the Refugee Village, including but not limited to strengthening the overall shelter of the village, securing sufficient food and water, and maintaining confidence to endure this disaster.

What will happen in three days, no one knows.

But Lin Yue made up his mind.

He plans to convert the main shelter completely to alloy!

Braving the sun, Lin Yue soon arrived at the door of the shelter, opened the alloy door, and went inside, with Bai quickly following behind him, while Lin Yue headed straight to the storage room.

This time, the harvest was plentiful.

The various resources collected in several trips were even more than what he had gathered in the Secret Realm before.

He looked up at the previous collection of asphalt pavement and various other items in the warehouse. In a relatively spacious corner of the warehouse, he placed together the large number of axes from the Storage Space.

Several dozen large and thick glass panels, along with some previously collected car parts and other alloys, soon filled the entire space.

With this 824 cubic meters Storage Space, Lin Yue, when venturing into the Secret Realm, was fearless, willing to take anything and everything.

This abundant harvest was indeed his spoils of war.

"Bai, let's cool off in the shelter first; we'll go out later." Lin Yue said, pushing open the shelter's large door, allowing Bai, who was overheated and continuously flapping its wings in the shade, to scamper inside.

Sitting on the sofa, Xiao Liuzi and the others gathered around; the excessive heat outside seemed to make these Little Ice Lizards extremely uncomfortable, which is why they hadn't ventured outside.

However, the day outside was very quiet, without any Lizardmen or beggars, so there was no need to go out.

The Special Ancient Secret Realm Gate he visited earlier should cease to exist tomorrow; these things usually last only two days.

One day yesterday, one today, and tomorrow this thing will shift to another Secret Realm or disappear altogether.

At least after the system update, that seemed to be the setting: regular Secret Realm Gates persist indefinitely, while Special Ancient Secret Realm Gates appear randomly, much like the stone doors in the Underground Ruins.

Lin Yue gave Bai and the others some food, then relaxed on a comfortable sofa and opened the system panel.

The main shelter needs an upgrade.

He had no intention of hiding in the Secret Realm before the disaster struck, nor did he plan to shelter in the Underground Ruins during this disaster.

This time, he wasn't afraid of the extreme heat; the air conditioner was running, so there was no need to worry excessively about the temperature.

Even if the air conditioner broke, he could replace and rebuild it swiftly to maintain a steady 17 degrees Celsius in this room. Ideally, he would set every shelter he built to this temperature.

The real challenge lies with fire tornadoes and giant hail.

Especially the giant hail; the actual size of these things is a crucial issue.

Should it exceed expectations in size, the current material and thickness of his shelter might not withstand the intense bombardment—the hail could last several minutes, perhaps over ten, descending at high speed from the sky and possibly demolishing the stone walls of his shelter.

He could even foresee the shelter becoming a pile of ruins.

This isn't mere alarmism; the first disaster involved corrosive snow, the second was an earthquake that forced survivors out of shelters to face frenzied mutant creatures in the night.

Not long ago was the acid rain flood's wrath. If acid rain could flood, larger hailstones aren't exaggerating.

Lin Yue didn't want to simply wait and react when the roof was smashed. His current decision was to secure advanced insurance for his shelter.
