CHAPTER 257: CHAPTER 258: EVERY ENEMY MUST PAY A BLOODY PRICE!

The meat provided a considerable amount of energy, and at the same time, greatly enhanced Lin Yue’s feeling of fullness.

After gnawing the last bit of meat off the lamb ribs, he ate a slice of watermelon.

The fatigue was chased away by the feeling of fullness, gradually making Lin Yue feel less miserable than before.

However, he still felt muscle soreness in his arms and thighs.

The desperate sprint and the enormous burst of power during the crisis pushed him beyond his limits, but it also brought short-lived aftereffects like muscle soreness to his body.

At least that’s the case now; who knows how sore he will feel tomorrow.

Rubbing his arm, he stood up and walked outside.

It’s already afternoon, with just two or three hours until evening. He could have just laid around until tomorrow, but he didn’t want to give up the various resources in this special Secret Realm.

Moreover, after the tire blowout incident, he also felt a sense of crisis.

One vehicle seems to be not enough, huh.

If the Lizardmen launch another attack next time, what if they puncture not the tires but the fuel tank?

This time he was lucky; the Lizardmen aimed to capture him, so they didn’t go for the kill, and didn’t even attack him, just kept closing in, wanting to overwhelm him with their numbers.

Looking back, for the sake of self-defense, he had no choice but to eliminate some Lizardmen, and because the distance was too far, he couldn’t retrieve the treasure chests, which were naturally picked up by the Lizardmen.

No matter what they could open from inside, Lin Yue felt they would never let it go at that.

Now, it’s unknown whether these Lizardmen know the location of his shelter. If they do know, then it may not be long before they come running here.

Even if they can’t find this shelter, the current single vehicle is definitely not sufficient.

Can’t always let Bai or Meng follow me, right?

Who knows when some situation might arise that even Bai or Meng can’t handle?

As the only mechanical transportation tool now, the beach buggy is already excellent. If there were roads, Lin Yue thought he could work on getting some kind of car.

There is indeed one under his hands that can be driven out, but he is not satisfied. If possible, he wants to get some car parts and assemble a powerful enough car.

This special Secret Realm is in a city on the West Coast of Australia that he had visited before, where there are many cars parked in the parking lots. Although most are broken, it’s better than nothing; if he could bring them over, he might be able to tinker a few cars together.

He walked to the yard and looked at the private airplane that took up quite some space and had been useless all along.

This thing... seems to not be usable for now, huh.

He doesn’t know how to fly a plane, and the fuel it uses should probably be aviation gasoline, which is quite difficult to find. This made Lin Yue feel even more it was a dead weight.

"I’ll dismantle it when I come back... Perhaps I can get quite a lot of good stuff?" Lin Yue had no interest in its design drawings, nor did he want to see this large thing always collecting dust here. Maybe disassembling it into various parts and materials was the most correct choice.

Stretching his muscles, Lin Yue called Bai, and just when he was about to set off, he suddenly thought of something.

Should I inform everyone that the Lizardmen are already mingling with the survivors, have more advanced weapons, and can even pick up Copper Treasure Chests?

Lin Yue only thought for a moment before quickly deciding.

He opened the system panel and looked at the world channel.

Everyone was still discussing disasters, discussing how he had shared methods to get through this disaster, as well as discussing the Secret Realm and Underground Ruins, and even some conversations about making friends or seeking people appeared.

Lin Yue remained silent for a while, contemplating how he should convey this matter.

If he didn’t say anything, perhaps those diligently surviving, working hard people would someday be deceived by the now entirely different Lizardmen, or harmed by those who have already diverged from humanity and no longer deserve to be called their kin.

Furthermore, it could destroy the hard-won stability of the refugee villages built by survivors and the trust between people that had been painstakingly nurtured.

This shouldn’t happen.

Lin Yue, although not feeling he should be the one in the spotlight, might be the first person in the world to directly feel the threat of the Lizardmen after their weapons have evolved.

The disaster alone was already enough to weigh on the survivors; he didn’t think humans should continue to suffer from this newly emerging disaster!

Moreover, that would further plunge the world into chaos.

On the world channel panel, Lin Yue typed out a message.

It was the first time he spoke in the public channel.

Although he wanted to continue silently observing as before, at this moment, he had to choose to speak!

"To all survivors, there is something I must inform everyone of at this time."

After Lin Yue typed out this sentence, everyone in the world channel seemed to be frozen.

Everyone knew that the person now delivering information through this world channel was the one everyone should know about.

They were all waiting, waiting for Lin Yue, speaking publicly for the first time on the world channel, to communicate what it was.

All ceased scrolling and chatting; they were all waiting and listening.

"Among us, some have chosen, for their personal gain, to evade disaster, to live more comfortably, to ensure their own safety, to ally with the Lizardmen who have long been at odds with us and have killed countless humans."

"They exchanged various metal weapons, various metal tools, even life knowledge, tactical methods, technology, and more as bargaining chips to gain the Lizardmen’s trust and protection."

"They are safe now; they no longer worry about the once-every-seven-day disaster. All they need to do is help the Lizardmen mine, collect materials, create metal weapons, metal tools. They care nothing about us survivors fighting desperately for tomorrow on the surface; they only need to live easily, getting through to the next day, and the day after."

"However, in the future, possibly tomorrow, possibly later, fully armed Lizardmen wielding metal weapons will appear before everyone, using the metal weapons created by us humans to kill humans."

"This is no joke. In the days to come, perhaps everyone will encounter Lizardmen more troublesome and terrifying than before; they not only have numbers, but also powerful weapons!"

"Maybe some will long for a life living alongside the Lizardmen, becoming their lackeys, wanting to do evil in league with them, wanting to use the survival skills they have now, wanting to use those tools and weapons to please the Lizardmen, wanting to live more easily."

"The altar of the Lizardmen is soaked with human blood, their pottery filled with human bones, their nauseating kitchens are hellish scenes composed entirely of human muscles, blood, and internal organs!"

"Many people have lost loved ones or friends to the Lizardmen, even been harmed by them; we should never coexist with them!"

"Different tribes have different hearts; I believe in this maxim and will act accordingly!"

"From now on, those who have chosen or are about to choose the easier path, who have become just like the Lizardmen, are my enemies!"

"I will make my enemies, from now on, taste the price of blood!"
