CHAPTER 349: CHAPTER 308: IRRECONCILABLE DIFFERENCES

The shadows of wide wings swept across from high above, and the mutant creatures on the vast desert couldn’t help but look up at the flying dragon passing suddenly.

The dragon’s ruby-like eyes scanned everything below over and over again.

The dry wild grass swaying with the wind, the Mad Poison Herb blooming with numerous colors, unknown plants, and giant trees...

Then, flying along a straight highway to its end, it saw a large pit like a scar.

Descending in spirals, a vague white spot in the distance became very conspicuous.

"Gawu..." It knew that this was the destination its master had mentioned for this time.

A whirlwind stirred up as Bai landed on the ground beside the pit.

With almost a whole morning of sunlight scorching it, under the gradually rising high temperature, the water inside the pit from the previous day was almost gone. Lin Yue stepped down to the pit’s bottom and released the robot dogs.

Among the eleven robot dogs, the electric energy of six hadn’t fully charged. Lin Yue left them outside to continue absorbing sunlight, so there was no need to rush.

With the remaining five, Lin Yue entered the quarry.

After setting up the program, the robot dogs began digging downward.

Lin Yue looked at the system panel and at what had just been acquired in the Storage Space.

RPG, which means shoulder-mounted rocket launcher, full-color military night vision device, and signal flare launching gun.

Two design blueprints, one for reinforced concrete and the other for an all-weather surveillance camera system.

Unlike the previous Platinum Treasure Chest, this time, there wasn’t any straight-out intercontinental missile launcher, no Katyusha Rocket Launcher, and nothing particularly rare.

Instead, there was a whole heap of things.

Neither the objects nor the blueprints would surprise Lin Yue if they showed up alone in a Silver Treasure Chest or Golden Treasure Chest, but for all of them to show up together in the Platinum Treasure Chest, that was rather unusual.

An RPG rocket launcher with two missiles, whose power he had seen in movies, incredibly powerful and with great destructive force.

In movies, something capable of instantly taking down a monster boss is undoubtedly a Divine Artifact!

But in reality, it’s unclear how it would perform.

The full-color military night vision device and the signal flare launching gun are tools whose effects can only be seen at night, and currently, there’s no way to test them.

The reinforced concrete blueprint is undoubtedly a Divine Artifact.

The vast majority of high-rise buildings on Earth, or rather almost all of them, were built with this, and even though it may not necessarily match the material of Lin Yue’s current Shelter or the Alloy Shelter, it’s more than strong enough and good enough.

Moreover, this stuff has an advantage, which is that the materials are simply exploded in abundance.

As long as one enters the Secret Realm, they can reach the city, and at the worst, it will have a large building like that on the island.

With this blueprint, and if he takes the High-Precision Research Workstation, he can soon produce quite a lot of materials!

Maybe next time he can try dismantling a building?

As for the all-weather surveillance camera system blueprint, the parts needed are a computer, hard drive, twenty LCD screens, connecting cables, and twenty cameras.

As luck would have it... he has them all.

The computer hasn’t been turned on since playing Minesweeper a while ago, and cameras have been collected quite a bit in the Secret Realm, as well as a bunch of screens at the fire station, and the hard drives... is 2T enough?

He remembered finding an RTX4080ti graphics card from a corpse’s Storage Space back then?

Whether useful or not, he’ll throw it in later.

But those are things to do after this exploration.

Lin Yue lifted his head, looking into the distance.

That patch of white isn’t very noticeable during the day, only able to be perceived as some subtle illusion.

Exploring what exactly is in that direction is today’s main task.

The ore cave in front is secondary.

Nonetheless, he must make sure this area is well-handled to ensure the supply of stone and Iron Blocks, which are currently the most lacking.

He looked again at the large pit.

The last time he came here, raiders had blocked the cave’s entrance and edges with rocks from above, burying the entrance while he was in the cave at the pit’s bottom. Reflecting on it now, that indeed was quite dangerous.

But revisiting this place, Lin Yue is more interested in the stone and Iron Blocks and other materials here.

The robot dogs worked quickly, and it didn’t take long before they ground down a lot of rocks blocking the cave entrance into fragments.

And as he collected a large amount of crushed stone into the Storage Space, the entrance to the mine finally emerged.

Upon confirming no cave-ins were likely and that no loose rocks were dangling precariously, Lin Yue squeezed into the cave, quickly reaching the round large space inside.

There was some standing water among the rubble, but it didn’t interfere much. Under the flashlight’s beam, the skeletal remains huddled together at the far end corner, and the broken wall not far behind them reminded Lin Yue of his previous visit here.

"Better move Belger and his wife’s bones out; leaving them here isn’t good."

Lin Yue carried them outside and dug a pit on the desert, placing their bones inside, maintaining their original position and state.

They were among the few in the Otherworld who made Lin Yue’s heart soft in some way.

If humans could uphold such beauty, leaving betrayal, hatred, jealousy, and fear behind to understand each other...

Lin Yue shook his head.

Impossible.

It starts with him.

One could even say he himself is the root cause of various contradictions and conflicts.

The world’s top Survivor, possessing abundant materials and resources, owning a strong and massive Shelter, and a vast arsenal...

To anyone, this is a colossal cake, and if one could devour it, they could seize everything to become the new number one in the world!

This world, for all its Otherworld essence, still has ordinary people, mortal bodies, and can possibly be killed quite easily.

There were raiders before, then Levik, and now Lizardmen and beggars.

And there might be many more in the shadows watching his every move.

"If humans could truly understand each other and be equals, they wouldn’t be human."

Lin Yue felt that his experiences in the Otherworld made him aware of so much more, clarifying what he once didn’t know or understand.

Though long before, he experienced life’s bitterness, already knowing how ugly ’humans’ could become when unrestrained and faced with desires.

Yet, coming to the Otherworld made him realize the previous individuals weren’t worthy of mention.

With a sigh, Lin Yue covered up the soil with a Shovel.

He looked at the entwined skeletal remains in the grave one last time, thinking deeply.

Perhaps they were the happiest couple in this world.
