CHAPTER 110: CHAPTER 110: CAVE ESCAPE, REVENGE BEGINS!

Lin Yue instantly felt a chill creep down his spine, sucking in a breath of cold air.

Under the flashlight’s beam, he discovered a pair of skeletons embracing each other, leaning against the wall!

Oh my, during the meal earlier, he completely failed to notice them.

However, upon closer inspection, Lin Yue found that although there was no trace of flesh on the skeletons, they were very white in color, and there wasn’t much dust on them, indicating that they hadn’t been here for a long time.

Moreover, they were dressed in clothes that clearly belonged to people from Earth. Although covered in dust, they weren’t tattered and appeared quite new.

One skeleton was large and sturdy, while the other was much smaller and seemed quite delicate—likely a man and a woman.

They were probably the owners of the iron shelter above.

But why did they die here?

"This is..."

Lin Yue picked up a glass bottle lying beside the skeletons and discovered that it still contained half a bottle of liquid with an extremely fragrant scent.

"Perfume, no wonder." As soon as he picked it up, Bai retreated several steps, appearing quite uncomfortable.

Lin Yue confirmed that Bai’s sense of smell had indeed been overwhelmed by the perfume, making him less sensitive to detecting enemies above.

He stored the perfume in the Storage Space, thinking it might come in handy later.

The flashlight illuminated beneath the larger skeleton’s hand, where Lin Yue found a dagger with a smear of reddish-brown stains on it.

He roughly understood what had happened.

These two might have suffered severe injuries, or faced an absolute shortage of food and drink, or were cornered by mutant creatures, unable to leave, ultimately choosing to die here.

After death, their bodies became food for mutant insects and lizards, leaving only bones.

Lin Yue squatted down, gazing at the two skeletons, then raised his head towards the cave ceiling.

Indeed, sealing the exit certainly resembled a tomb.

As Lin Yue illuminated the ground with his flashlight, he unexpectedly found two names carved into the surface.

"Sarah, Berg..."

These were their names.

They really were a man and a woman, able to accompany each other till the end, which could be considered romantic, right?

Reflecting on this, Lin Yue was suddenly struck by a flash of realization as if his mind awakened from a dream!

Berg? How is this name pronounced?

Iron shelter, animal skins, fireplace... Wait a minute, could this person be...

Lin Yue felt a shiver run down his spine, his heart racing, and he typed "Berg" into the group chat.

Soon, a familiar-looking gray avatar appeared in his search bar.

Of course!

The large skeleton was none other than Belger, once the third-ranking member of the group before the first catastrophe, ultimately dying here.

Indeed, it seemed that after the first catastrophe, he once traded with Belger, but afterward lost contact.

Who would have thought that the first and third-ranking members of the group would end up so close?

Lin Yue shook his head; life is unpredictable.

In this Otherworld, life and death are separated by a fine line.

Just like now, when he is trapped in this mine by people outside, powerless to act.

Wait.

Mine... mine!

Surely, the mine can be excavated!

This vast mine might be the result of Belger’s tireless digging, so if one focuses on a point and continuously digs upward at an angle?

In this world, non-man-made items like trees and rocks can’t be picked up and turned directly into timber or stone, nor can they be stored entirely in the Storage Space; tools like axes and picks must be used for harvesting and chiseling.

Otherwise, Lin Yue could have sung a tune while extracting tons of rock from the wall, simply escaping underground.

"Well then, find a spot to dig."

Lin Yue donned the Exoskeleton, brandished an iron pick, and swung it against the black rock in front of him!

Clang, clang, clang, clang, clang!

[You acquired Iron Block X1]

Goodness, it took five swings to get one iron block? The efficiency is rather low.

No wonder the iron block count is so small initially.

If he kept swinging the pick without the Exoskeleton, he’d probably pass out from exhaustion within an hour.

But with the Exoskeleton, he’s merely swinging, hardly tiring.

He swung five more times.

[You acquired Stone Material X1]

Whoa.

Not every swing yields an iron block, huh?

Seeing the half-meter deep gap before him, Lin Yue knew those ten swings weren’t in vain.

Keep going!

Excavate upward at an angle!

The depth of about ten meters shouldn’t be too much work, right?

Seeing the progress, Lin Yue resumed swinging.

Beside him, Bai chirped "buzzi, buzzi!" sensing that those outside hadn’t yet left, warning Lin Yue.

"No worries, Bai; once we get out, not a single one of them will escape!"

Lin Yue continued digging, his anger steadily rising.

If they can’t catch me, they want me dead?

Heartless and ruthless, huh? Just wait until I get out!

In these two weeks in the Otherworld, humanity’s wild side has steadily magnified.

Even a normal man like Lin Yue, continuously confronting various mutated creatures, monsters, lizardmen, and humans wishing for his death, is transforming.

Ideas like "those not of our kind hold different hearts" have rooted deep in his bones, leaving him unmoved by any human trying to kill him.

Pity them, and they’ll turn and stab your heart with a weapon, then claim everything of yours as theirs.

Peaceful coexistence without interference is ideal, but in situations like this, Lin Yue stands firm.

One arrives, one is killed; ten arrive, then ten are killed!

[You acquired Iron Block X1]

...

[You acquired Stone Material X1]

...

[You...]

Lin Yue continued digging, as blocks of stone and iron filled his Storage Space.

The tunnel before him began to take shape as he climbed up and went on chiseling.

The iron pick in his hands stayed busy, fueling his internal fury further!

He recalled a movie he watched long ago.

The protagonist was directly buried inside a coffin, deep underground.

Lin Yue felt his situation resembled the protagonist’s.

Except, once he surfaces, the enemies will be ready outside!

After digging for an unknown period, he discovered he no longer unearthed stone blocks, but damp soil.

Using a shovel, he cleared a lot of earth, which poured down the newly excavated tunnel.

After further digging, suddenly a faint red glow appeared above!

Finally reached the surface!

And at that moment, it seemed to be dusk.

Now, Lin Yue could hear the raiders’ wild laughter and shouts from outside, quite close to the tunnel he’d dug!

"Buzzi!" Bai rushed up from below, sensing the enemies above, cautioning Lin Yue to be extremely careful.

Lin Yue knew full well what awaited him, and equally knew what awaited the raiders!

"Bai, get ready to follow my command and send them off!"

Another Chapter coming later tonight, 500 subscriptions add an extra Chapter.

By the way, I made a mistake with the Chapter title in the last Chapter; this Chapter is the real Chapter 110.
