CHAPTER 275: CHAPTER 268: TREAT ENEMIES AS COLD AS ABSOLUTE ZERO! _2

Lin Yue quickened his pace.

The Little Ice Lizards continued their vigilance all around; they were much faster than Lin Yue, who fully utilized this advantage, sending Sixth Brother and Red Line charging ahead.

Whatever happens, their sharp and powerful crisis perception would provide him with the greatest assistance.

The passageway wasn’t entirely devoid of disturbances, and Lin Yue soon encountered a patrolling Copper Treasure Chest... uh, it’s a Lizardman.

"Sa! Sa... puh eh!"

One, two, three... five, eight, a total of eleven Copper Treasure Chests!

And that’s not all.

"Don’t kill me! Don’t, don’t..."

[You’ve acquired 1 cubic meter of Storage Space!]

Hmm, not bad.

Lin Yue expressed that he didn’t like being ordered around, saying don’t kill so he won’t kill? Earlier on the world channel, everyone saw what was said; if you ran to the world channel talking about how Lin Yue wasn’t much at all and bragged, wouldn’t I become a laughingstock?

Lin Yue kicked this guy; why didn’t he think to regret it while buddying up with the Lizardmen just now?

Handle this kind of guy like absolute zero with coldness.

Lin Yue didn’t pity them.

Pity them, and they’ll make him pitiable.

All the "I was forced," "It’s not what you think," "I didn’t do anything," "It’s all the Lizardmen’s fault," etc., believe one line, they would immediately buddy up with the Lizardmen and put a bullet in your gut.

This bunch is already rotten to the core.

Choosing the easiest path is understandable, but abetting evil forces must be addressed.

Lin Yue thought of those Lizardmen who nearly ambushed him on the desert, each holding iron spears and iron knives, and felt a chill.

Earlier, this bunch wasn’t so bold, nor dared to hold stone spears and stone swords to ambush people above ground.

Now, they dare, and likely will intensify later on.

Continuing forward, stepping over those corpses, he followed the area map’s indications, encountered five Lizardmen again, but this time without running into beggars.

It seems there aren’t many in this area.

It makes sense.

If beggars were everywhere, humanity would simply become extinct.

All thinking about lying down in the most comfortable position, they’d end up dying the worst way.

Leaning against the wall, Lin Yue sat down.

He took out water and food and also gave some to the Little Ice Lizards.

Combat is combat, rest is rest.

Besides, it’s already night again, if they fight hungry, even if he’s in a suppressive combat position, many things could be affected.

Like judgment, like attention, etc.

These are experiences Lin Yue gradually realized over twenty-plus days of survival.

Recalling all sorts of discomfort initially, and various encountered challenges, Lin Yue now differs vastly from back then.

The massive storage of materials, grasping disaster patterns and constructing counter-disaster methods, alongside becoming physically stronger, also fostering increasingly powerful combat abilities, made his current mentality extremely strong!

It could be said that half of his confidence now arises from within, the other half from nearly reflexive combat skills.

"Someone is coming."

Before the Little Ice Lizards’ warning, Lin Yue had already heard some subtle noises.

It’s human voices, and not faint.

He looked towards the direction from which he came; could enemies be coming?

Quickly tidying up and equipping weapons at lightning speed, Lin Yue aimed his sniper rifle at that direction and put on his night vision device, looking at the distant sighting scope.

Soon, a human figure appeared within the sighting scope.

Following shortly, a second and a third figure emerged quickly.

"Three people, survivors or beggars..." Lin Yue breathed deeply, waiting for their approach.

The light was too dim, everyone dressed similarly, so he had to wait for them to get closer to be sure.

Hmm? Wait, there seem to be two Lizardmen a few meters behind them?

Lin Yue raised his gun, knowing these few were likely beggars.

Then...

The sighting scope directed at one person’s forehead, and his hand touched the trigger.

At that moment, the few people’s voices clearly transmitted over.

"Haha, did you see the buildings on the world channel? Lin Yue said he wanted to kill all of us? Bragging could slap his own face; what could he do alone?"

"Ridiculous, what’s he, my explosives could kill him seven or eight times over! Sun Yi, stop eating, eat more and the Dragon-man big brothers might dislike your eating too much and throw you above!"

"Don’t bother me; does my eating affect my combat? Are you jealous of the Dragon-men lords making me a team leader, letting me lead you to collect goods at the refugee village, not convinced?"

"Don’t talk nonsense, can you? You call that a team leader, just a dog guide, any difference from my neon grandson? Given you an extra watermelon or date?"

"Exactly, but truth be told, if we capture Lin Yue and present him to the Dragon-men lords, would we get rewarded? Could we be given positions to lead others, better than team leader?"

"That might be possible, but why aren’t the two Dragon-men lords walking ahead of us? It’s safer here."

"Humph, if there’s danger, I’ll throw this thing in my hand out, blow up his mother!"

"Haha, blow up his mother!"

Boom!!!

At that instant, a violent loud noise accompanied a massive fireball, erupting suddenly!

The three people talking just now had almost no time to react and were completely engulfed by the explosion, shattering to pieces as the explosion sounded!

The two Lizardmen behind them, affected by the explosion’s shockwave, also fell to the ground, but soon, their heads were shot, also kicking the bucket.

Lin Yue waited a while, seeing the smoke disperse, finally walked over and collected the two Copper Treasure Chests.

He looked at three already partially blown bodies by the explosives, now dead, and felt like spitting.

These really were bona fide human traitors.

"Lord Dragon," really considering themselves dogs, aren’t they.

Moreover, they were actually leading Lizardmen to attack the refugee village... how low are their limits?

Smelling gunpowder within the passage, Lin Yue crouched down and collected the three’s Storage Spaces.

The explosive power wasn’t strong; if they were at close range, could be dangerous, beyond thirty or forty meters, might be like those Lizardmen just impacted, wouldn’t hurt.

If not for this, those three would have turned to pieces earlier.

He just heard the dialogue between three people to decide on shooting the bomb to test; otherwise, using three crossbow arrows directly to send them off wouldn’t have been any problem.

As for the explosives’ power, at this point Lin Yue had a certain understanding.

Too weak.

If such explosives, even at best, would affect a range about five or six meters, quite good, acting more as deterrents than lethal weapons.

And Lin Yue doesn’t lack deterrent weapons.

Looking at the additional two bags of gunpowder explosives in Storage Space, he thought maybe he could modify them a little.

His sulfur is plenty, but lacking niter; where did these Lizardmen obtain niter?

"Puchi! Puchi!" suddenly the Little Ice Lizards cried out, Lin Yue knew, hearing the explosion, Lizardmen should move out soon.

However, this was also his opportune moment.

The aim this time was indeed to show Lizardmen what death truly is!

The sniper rifle aimed at another direction, Lin Yue glanced at Little Ice Lizards’ nervous demeanor, knew many must be coming!

But, faced with a strengthened magazine sniper rifle, numbers don’t faze him.

Within the sighting scope, a large dark shadow also appeared rapidly at an opposite position!

Lin Yue realized this time could provide Lizardmen and beggars with an unforgettable setback.

"Explosions and gunpowder smell originate here; perhaps Lizardmen attacked survivors. Everyone, prepare for battle!"

A voice suddenly came from that side.

This voice, why did it sound so familiar?

"Brother Xing, watch out, there’s a dark shadow lying down ahead! Everyone, prepare for combat!"

Brother Xing?

Lin Yue understood, no wonder the voice was familiar.

"Xing Lingfeng, the dark shadow lying on the ground is me," Lin Yue shouted in that direction.
