Global Wasteland: I Obtained A Top Tier Shelter

"Is this... a village?"

After entering through the cracked Ancient Secret Realm Gate, Lin Yue looked around inside but didn't see what he was hoping to find.

Towering skyscrapers, luxurious shopping centers, or a large supermarket—even a building with more than three floors—none was to be seen.

There were only dilapidated wooden houses enveloped by numerous trees and plants, along with a poorly maintained and cracked road overgrown with wild grass.

Of course, there were some vehicles, the majority of which were parked next to the houses or inside their attached garages; at least Lin Yue found this true after walking around and storing six cars in his Storage Space.

Green had become the main color theme of this place, with no signs of skyscrapers in the distance.

Silent and vast, there were only faint sounds coming from unknown places.

Looking at the rusted signage with some surviving English text on the side of the road, and a nearby extremely tattered little star-striped flag, Lin Yue began to realize where he was.

"This should be a village in the United States, I guess. It seems quite similar." He recalled some documentaries he'd watched before; this was probably it.

An utterly unappealing place, just vast open land dotted with burly men with long beards and tireless farm women.

While Lin Yue surveyed the surroundings, he also saw some crawling traces on the ground and a large pit in the direction of the woods.

The crawling traces belonged to those monsters, and that pit over there was likely where the Poison Celestial Dragon had emerged previously.

"Gawu." Bai descended from the sky, informing Lin Yue there were no enemies around.

"Really? No enemies, huh? Then let's focus on the search." Lin Yue patted the little creature's arm; if it said there were none, then there truly were none.

Perhaps in the previous encounter, they had all been attracted by Bai and Meng and ultimately wiped out by him.

However, although he said search, there really wasn't much to take away.

Lin Yue took out the High-Precision Research Workstation and aimed it at the road.

Raw materials are easier to collect than just the road, and they take up less space. Fei Yue and the others were actually quite disadvantaged without a High-Precision Research Workstation.

Speaking of which, how many of the world's survivors actually possess this Divine Artifact? Lin Yue recalled that this item seemed to have been obtained from a Golden Treasure Chest.

Not mentioning the tremendous difficulty of acquiring a Golden Treasure Chest, even after opening dozens of them, he only obtained such a workstation.

For someone like him with a 100% drop rate, it's still challenging; for others, it's an extremely low probability.

Lin Yue felt this thing was like his other "cheat."

Being able to instantly simplify all objects, except for the exceedingly special ones, into raw materials or blueprints.

Of course, things like asphalt roads can naturally be done.

Before long, Lin Yue had converted all the roads in the small town into raw materials stored in his Storage Space. In the central area that resembled a shopping street, he found six cars and dismantled them into various parts.

The shopping street mostly consisted of dining establishments, filled predominantly with moldy tables and chairs, and stains caused by entirely vanished black mold. It had already transformed into...

Next, he began searching the rotting, moldy, and generally collapsed wooden houses.

The wooden two- or three-story buildings could be labeled as "country villas," spacious and each with a plot of land, distanced by several tens of meters from each other.

They had deteriorated over the decades without any repairs, mostly rendered decrepit due to weathering and plant invasion.

But not devoid of resources.

After all, this was modern society, not a relic from centuries ago; all kinds of appliances were present.

He moved through the untamed, twisted branches of plants, breathing the damp air, and pushed open the door of the largest building in the town before him.

The roof of the house had been blown away somewhere unknown, and this vast space emitted a damp and moldy smell. Lin Yue quickly scanned the area and collected numerous broken appliances into his Storage Space.

Trash is treasure; usable items are disassembled for parts, unusable ones converted into raw materials—no loss either way.

In the living room of the house, Bai also discovered the entrance to an underground cellar covered by a fallen cabinet.

Lin Yue dragged it aside, inhaling a foul stench that was hard to endure.

Down there... shouldn't be any corpses, right...

After donning a Gas Mask, Lin Yue proceeded down the metal ladder, and upon opening the door to the cellar, the flashlight illuminated a stunning sight!

"Wow, a large warehouse, huh?"

The space, ten meters wide and long, three meters high, divided into left and right sections. The left contained neatly stacked boxes, while the right had over a dozen wooden crates on the floor, and against the wall, a full circle of shelves.

The topmost layer of the shelves was laden with various bloated canned foods, some of which had burst, leaving only dried remnants resembling moldy black spots—the apparent source of the smell he'd just detected.
