CHAPTER 288: CHAPTER 273: I AM NOT VERY STRONG, IT’S JUST THAT YOU ARE TOO WEAK_2

If it weren’t for Lin Yue’s help, they would probably all be gone by now, not a single one left.

"He’s right," Xing Lingfeng said with vacant eyes, "What he said is indeed true. Our combat strength is too weak. Not only is there a significant difference in weapons between us and Lin Yue, but in combat skills, mentality, and tactics, we’re far from his level. Even now, I say, if you were given that sniper rifle of his, could any one of you ensure every bullet hit the enemy’s knee cap accurately?"

Everyone shook their heads.

Forget it, they couldn’t even guarantee a single shot.

Sharpshooters become skilled through countless bullets, and combat readiness cannot be trained in a short time.

Lin Yue showed them what it truly means to have someone better than you around.

Their longbows and steel spears were a joke in front of Lin Yue.

Not to mention anything else, what happened when Levik and his men attacked Lin Yue’s shelter last time?

Lin Yue didn’t even use sniper rifles or pistols, and those people still dropped dead on the spot, crying for their parents, scattering like headless chickens, all their initial bravado gone in an instant.

Mind you, there were more than 500 of them, fully armed!

"Lin Yue has many secrets and a strength we cannot even imagine. When taking on the Lizardmen, what he showed us was his composure and calmness in suppressing tens or even more Lizardmen by himself. I think, perhaps even with a hundred more Lizardmen, he could still easily take them down. If we were not there, maybe he would have been even faster."

Xing Lingfeng said, running a hand through his hair.

The others looked at each other.

It’s true.

They were just nuisances in the Underground Ruins yesterday.

"If... wait, Lin Yue sent something very important!" Xing Lingfeng was about to express his feelings further when he suddenly discovered that Lin Yue had sent him a rather lengthy text!

"Brother Xing, what did he send?" Feng Peng and others immediately got excited.

The crucial information Lin Yue sent last time was about lightning rods and how to survive the current disaster.

Though they had not yet survived this disaster and couldn’t verify if Lin Yue’s advice was accurate, his suggestions had benefitted almost the entire survivor community.

If they do indeed make it through this disaster safely, Lin Yue’s actions would be a significant salvation for the continuation of humanity.

"What he sent... is a method to deal with the Lizardmen, along with various key points... Remember them well."

"What!!" "No way, could those things still work?" "Lin Yue wouldn’t let us each wield a submachine gun, would he? Where would we find those?"

Everyone buzzed with noise, saying different things.

The Lizardmen now were completely different from before, and even if they were the same as before, bringing forth numerous of them would still be difficult to handle.

What method could Lin Yue have? Everyone was thinking of various things and waiting for the information Xing Lingfeng was about to convey.

"Currently, the Lizardmen have been upgraded with weapons and tools provided by the ’beggar’—completely different from before. They are brutal, bloodthirsty, large in number, and stronger in attack. With the assistance of the beggar, they have become even more dangerous."

Xing Lingfeng spoke, and everyone listened intently.

Indeed, Lin Yue summarized it very accurately.

Currently, the Lizardmen are an extremely dangerous group. When they encountered these primitive civilization races in the Underground Ruins before, seeing their stone spears and javelins was a joke, often a group of people could chase those monsters away.

But now, with weapon parity, and even the enemy having explosives, the positions have completely reversed. Before Lin Yue turned the tide last night, they were almost driven to despair.

"But even so, the Lizardmen have very obvious weaknesses. They are extremely afraid of fire. If you use fire-based weapons, especially long-range weapons against them, it will be easy to bring them down, turning them into balls of flame. This method is especially effective when they are gathered together."

"What? Those creatures are that afraid of fire?" "Speaking of, last time we cornered a Lizardman, it knocked over a torch and got burned up." "Damn, I thought it was ice. Isn’t a lizard a cold-blooded animal?"

Everyone discussed individually, but as Xing Lingfeng continued, they fell silent once more.

"Additionally, the Lizardmen’s bombs have very low power, only loud sounds. When facing an attack by a group of Lizardmen, the priority should be to aim at those throwing bombs at the forefront, and also the beggars within the group. Remember, try to attack from a distance. Finally, if you encounter Lizardmen on the ground during the day, keep moving, or find places where the ground isn’t dirt. Avoid acting alone if possible. This is what I have to tell you. And if you can, I hope you send this to the world channel like last time. Survivors cannot be destroyed by these alien races!"

After Xing Lingfeng finished reading Lin Yue’s words, everyone was silent.

Yes.

Humans were collectively transported to this Otherworld. Already short on food and clothing, before the disaster came, they had to obtain supplies by all means necessary, build shelters, and at the same time face the threats of mutated creatures.

Now, some people, for the sake of facing disasters more easily, have chosen a path that abandons human dignity and character—serving the Lizardmen, becoming accomplices, and turning against the survivors.

These people have even provided the Lizardmen with weapons and tools. Perhaps they even supplied the bombs.

They have become the most terrifying enemies to the survivors who strive to live!

Lin Yue’s message was very clear and, after the harrowing experience of last night, everyone here also understood just how complicated and dangerous the situation had become.

Double calamities, plus the threat of the underground Lizardmen, if they don’t want to wait passively for doom, they must take initiative in the attack!

"The Lizardmen are stronger than we imagined, but they’re not as strong as we thought either. Folks, though we haven’t tested it yet, I believe in what Lin Yue said. After this disaster, we must aim to eliminate the Lizardmen and the beggars as our primary targets. Otherwise, our Refugee Village might not withstand a single charge from the Lizardmen!"

After Xing Lingfeng finished speaking, he walked to the center of everyone.

"Everyone, let’s begin reinforcing the Refugee Village again from now on. After this disaster, we also need to change our current strategy!"

He also posted Lin Yue’s information onto the world channel!

...

"Nope..." Meanwhile, Lin Yue didn’t care about this at all.

He searched thoroughly in the transaction mall and the Survival Points Mall.

There was no sign of the precision electric actuator anywhere.

And on the trading board, even after he offered two bottles of wine for it, no one made an offer—not even opportunistic ones. It was just a bunch of survivors asking him about the Lizardmen.

As for his friends, every single one just said "No." Only Fei Yue asked, "Shall we go to the Secret Realm to check it out?" The others just shook their heads.

Without the exoskeleton, it was quite a fatal weakness.

With it, he didn’t have much strength to wield those heavy weapons.

Even wielding the Outstanding Iron Spear, he would find it tiring during prolonged battles.

The exoskeleton can easily grant a person much more strength than before, greatly reducing exhaustion, and unnecessary physical exertion. Under monotonously laborious tasks, its assistance is almost invincible.

But the downside is, it’s easy to become reliant on it and feel anxious as if something important is missing when it’s not there.

"It seems I’ve become too dependent on the exoskeleton." After not getting any results, Lin Yue had to accept this fact.

He calmed down for about half an hour, finally understanding.

He looked at the sniper rifle, the M800 shotgun, the M9 pistol, and the Steel Repeating Crossbow and Alloy Tactical Crossbow.

It seems these don’t require much strength?

emmmm...

He thought he might really have been stuck in a mental trap.

Perhaps things weren’t so complicated?

For mining, there’s the robot dog; for combat, there are firearms.

Bai can fly, and for traveling, there’s a car.

He might not need to rely on the exoskeleton after all?
