Chapter 84: Chapter 84: Post-Disaster Reconstruction, Building New Shelters!Lin Yue climbed the ladder carefully and put the stone wall cover on top into the Storage Space.

    The dazzling sunlight also shone in from the gap when he entered before.

    "Squawk!" Bai lagged behind, squeezed outside to greet Lin Yue, while also telling him that it’s safe outside.

    Lin Yue squeezed out of the gap and stood on the wall.

    The second disaster has finally passed.

    The earthquake, an eight-degree earthquake at its highest, has finally passed!

    With his wisdom, he finally overcame this disaster!

    Lin Yue felt refreshed, unable to resist the urge to shout, but he suddenly noticed that not far from here, there was something that originally didn’t exist!

    He picked up the Steel Repeating Crossbow, looked through the Sighting Scope towards that direction, and his fingers couldn’t help but tremble!

    "A lake? When did there become a lake there? Wait, is that a river?"

    Lin Yue looked more carefully, somewhat reluctant to believe this scene.

    Yesterday, it was an endless wilderness, how could there suddenly be a large lake there? Even a river had emerged!

    "Could it be caused by the earthquake?" Lin Yue was shocked in his heart, recalling the terrifying tremors from last night.

    An earthquake can rip the earth apart, and if underground water buried deep gushes out... there doesn’t seem to be any other explanation.

    Looks like he has a new place to explore.

    He looked around the surroundings.

    The stone walls surrounding the Shelter had collapsed in one or two places, and some had fractured into pieces, but remained upright without toppling.

    It seems they couldn’t withstand the intensity of the earthquake.

    Lin Yue set up the ladder, walked down from the wall, and headed directly to the Shelter, which appeared unchanged.

    He pushed open the stone door and went inside, finding everything as before, except for some new cracks on the walls and a collapsed stove, but otherwise, there’s no major problem.

    He continued inspecting the basement, finding a few shelves collapsed on the ground. He walked over to check and found only a few bottles of water spilled on the floor, nothing serious.

    Looking around the walls, he noticed some new fissures and scattered stone blocks.

    As for the iron basement, other than some slight deformation, there’s actually no major issue.

    However...

    Lin Yue frowned, looking at the peculiar-shaped new door beside the iron basement wall, deep in thought.

    What on earth is this?

    The door in front of him was entirely different in style from the Ancient Secret Realm Gate; the latter was vines, ancient bricks with a wooden door, while this one was embedded with yellow, green, and red tiles in an oval door frame, and the door was stone with indescribable lines and layered colorful circles painted on it.

    Lin Yue was sure this door in front of him was definitely not some kind of Ancient Secret Realm Gate.

    Wait.

    After the system upgrade, wasn’t there supposed to be something new? Underground Ruins?

    It seems this has to be the answer.

    The Underground Ruins Gate opening in his basement, that’s quite something.

    "Squawk!" Bai also came to the basement, not seeming to have any special thoughts after seeing this strange door, just kept chirping.

    "Hungry again? You little foodie." Lin Yue took some stone blocks and filled in the cracks on the outer walls.

    Quickly, the iron mixed stone wall repaired the gaps and scars at a speed visible to the naked eye, restoring to its original state.

    Repeating this in another room, Lin Yue went to the ground level and tidied up the broken stove.

    However, he didn’t want to keep this thing with the sleeping area anymore. If he often cooked here, the resulting smoke would definitely affect sleep quality.

    After repairing the ground level walls again, Lin Yue also returned the bed and other furniture to their original positions and took Bai outside.

    He opened the Storage Space and found the Shelter Design Map.

    "Anyway, I have two design maps left, using one to make a dedicated kitchen isn’t overdoing it." He said, using one.

    [To build a stone ground level shelter, 45 blocks of stone are required]

    [Please select the construction location]

    "Right next to this Shelter!"

    A white glow flashed.

    Quickly, Lin Yue found that in front of him appeared a new building, exactly the same size and shape as the original buildings!

    "Wow, straight off the assembly line? Exactly the same, that’s impressive." Lin Yue couldn’t help but ridicule looking at two buildings carved from the same mold.

    Lin Yue immediately stuffed a lot of Iron Blocks into the stone house, successfully turning it into an iron-stone building.

    Though it looks indistinguishable from the outside, it’s much sturdier than the original. Otherwise, it couldn’t withstand the earthquake, right?

    He pushed open the stone door to enter, discovering the two rooms were connected, but separated by a door frame in between, with stairs inside leading to the basement.

    Going down, he found it just right in the iron house.

    After repositioning the wine, he returned to the ground level and crafted a table and stove.

    Putting the previous kitchen set, single standing knife set, seasoning combination, etc. on the table, Lin Yue looked back; it seemed somewhat empty.

    Positioning the embedded fireplace against one side, Lin Yue also placed some electric appliances obtained in the Secret Realm, finally making the kitchen look more presentable.

    He lit the stove, inserted yesterday’s freshly acquired scallion pancake dough, carefully frying it with oil, and he also took out a package of "King of Kings" sausages, cut open the packaging, split them, and placed them in the pan.

    "Squawk? Squawk!" Bai smelled the aroma and came over.

    However...

    "Grrroooar..."

    At this moment, outside came the beastly roars.

    Lin Yue glanced at the bloodstained Bai, who remained unfazed.

    Been hunting huh, but knowing to leave some breath for him to collect boxes, Bai’s cooperation with him keeps getting more in sync.

    Finished cooking and placed the pancakes on plates, wrapping each with a sausage, Lin Yue pulled out a wet wipe to clean his hands. S~ea??h the ηovelFire.ηet website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.

    "Bai, hold on to eat, I’ll handle the thing outside first." Lin Yue grabbed the Iron Spear and Steel Repeating Crossbow, went outside and followed the sound to find a nearly dead Mutant Sheep.

    [You have obtained a Copper Treasure Chest]

    Got it, got it.

    After letting the system dissect it, Lin Yue took his knife and carved out two lamb chops, buried the carcass, and finished his task.

    Just when Lin Yue was ready to go back and eat the pancake, suddenly, he felt another tremor from beneath his feet!

    "Aftershock?!" Lin Yue was about to prepare to drop to the ground, but the tremor was quite brief.

    However, shortly after, a second and a third sound followed the first!

    Moreover, these sounds are extremely rhythmic, absolutely impossible for an earthquake!

    Wait, Lin Yue suddenly remembered that he had experienced this kind of tremor before, but that was beside the Tokyo Tower in the Secret Realm, from a creature with eight legs...

    He looked up sharply and suddenly noted at the end of his vision, the silhouette of something huge like a mountain appeared!
