CHAPTER 519: CHAPTER 386: THE WORST PLAN!

"This should be about right... Wow, quite exhausting."

After sorting out a large pile of parts and alloys into categories again, Lin Yue felt some fatigue.

Originally, he just wanted to lightly arm this nitrate ore and then return to Belger Lake to transport the stones back.

Unexpectedly, he planned to simply organize the various alloys, scrap electronics, and parts traded with nitrate that were stored here, but in a blink, a lot of time was consumed.

"Bai, let’s head to Belger Lake first. This side can stay as is for now; we’ll deal with it later."

Hopefully, the city walls can be completed today, and then the oil ore side can be tidied up properly. Although time is still ample—it’s only the first day of this disaster cycle—in this Otherworld full of various threats, there are too many that can be called "enemies."

The defense pressure of a shelter without walls is quite significant, better to get back and finish building it early!

Lin Yue called for Bai, and just as they stepped out of the underground warehouse and prepared to jump on its back to fly again, sudden bursts of machine-gun fire erupted, and fifteen robot dogs almost simultaneously rushed in the same direction!

"Gawoo!" Bai swiftly took Lin Yue to the side of the wall, and Lin Yue quickly noticed something unusual!

"Lizardmen? What made them think of attacking here again? But it seems a bit like throwing eggs against stones."

Bai landed next to a Medium Electric Guard Machine Gun Platform, and Lin Yue noticed that the gunfire didn’t last long before a whole mass of ragged lizardmen had already lost all signs of life.

"Gawoo." Bai seemed unable to understand why this situation occurred—the lizardmen appeared fast and died quickly.

At this moment, the robot dogs also returned to the nitrate ore area to continue their patrol and guard duty, and the machine gun platforms resumed their original calm appearance.

"Bai, let’s go take a look." Lin Yue still found it strange; previously, over a hundred lizardmen had perished here, and now less than a hundred seemingly thought they could charge in?

Did they have no learning ability?

Soon, Bai brought Lin Yue to the site of the lizardmen corpses, but found nothing noteworthy there.

Just a pile of dead bodies.

"What on earth is going on?" Lin Yue muttered, feeling something was odd, and then...

Suddenly, another burst of machine-gun fire sounded again!

Bai flew Lin Yue quickly to the other side, only to find it was actually in the opposite direction!

This time, lying on the ground were not only lizardmen but also mutant sheep that seemed to have come out of nowhere!

"Emmmm... I can be sure the lizardmen are up to something." Lin Yue stored the mutant sheep into the Storage Space; these free ingredients shouldn’t be missed, but really, it’s too strange...

Ratatatatata!

A burst of gunfire, this time from another direction!

Lin Yue didn’t move.

"Bai, hover in the air for a while; I’ll head back to the mine!"

Luring the tiger away from the mountain? A feint to the east? Conserving energy and waiting?

Doesn’t seem like it.

The lizardmen weren’t strong enough to capture this nitrate mine, even if they could bypass those machine-gun platforms, there were still many robot dogs waiting inside.

In places the robot dogs couldn’t reach, there were Black Dot and Green Claw to handle.

Lin Yue wasn’t worried about this nitrate mine’s defense; he was just curious about the lizardmen’s behavior pattern.

They seemed to be intentionally stalling for time... Wait.

Stalling for time?!

Lin Yue suddenly felt a chill!

Considering even the flying time since leaving the main shelter, indeed, quite some time had elapsed.

If the lizardmen intended to stall, using their own forces and those mutant creatures to keep him occupied...

Then, a shelter without walls, it’s not much different from being undefended, is it?

If Xiao Meng and the others were delayed in the Underground Ruins, relying solely on Xiao Liuzi leading the Little Ice Lizards could definitely not withstand a large-scale lizardman assault!

Bai suddenly descended, sweeping its arms around and then pointing toward the shelter!

It seems Bai thought of the same thing.

"Inform Black Dot and Green Claw, we’re heading back to the shelter immediately!"

At this moment, another brief burst of gunfire sounded, but Lin Yue had no time to manage it. He let Bai inform those two small guys, left a freezer filled with a considerable amount of food there, and placed lots of water.

The two little guys might have to stay here a while longer, in case they encounter a situation even difficult for the robot dogs to handle, they would have to rely on these two for resolution.

Although they haven’t evolved, their combat strength can still be counted on.

"You two, watch over here well, we might come back by tonight if we’re fast. Understand?"

Lin Yue didn’t expect those two little guys to understand, leaving that to Bai.

After making sure nothing was overlooked, Lin Yue thought a bit more and went back to the warehouse to load up with a lot of alloys and parts, then once again mounted Bai’s back!

But Bai pulled him back down, clutching him tightly with its broad arms!

"Gawoo!!"

Bai let out a roar, unfurled its wings, and in an instant, had taken Lin Yue soaring into the sky!

Lin Yue now had no opportunity to look back at what was happening below; instead, his mind kept racing through it all.

Clearly, everything the lizardmen did from the start until now was for a purpose.

And the most likely purpose was to directly attack his main shelter!

If the main shelter were occupied, indeed, he would be caught in complete passivity!

True, the main shelter without walls could be defended by the active combat of the Little Ice Lizards alone. However, if it fell into a state that couldn’t be defended, then there would be a formidable fortress deemed impregnable there.

Whether it’s the main shelter itself, the greenhouse, the Ice Lizard Little World, or the food processing plant, each represents a prime defensive fortress, especially the stone-covered, alloy-interior main shelter and the hidden underground Alloy Shelter. Once the lizardmen get in, it’s not easy to reclaim it.

Even if reclaimed, the lizardmen would never leave it intact and unchanged.

This battle, if Xiao Liuzi and the others cannot withstand, the entire shelter could be reduced to ashes.

At this moment, the wind howled past Lin Yue’s ears.

He could feel Bai flying towards the main shelter at maximum speed, utilizing all its strength.

Time was indeed pressing.

Moreover.

Prepare for the worst-case scenario!

Minute by minute, time passed, and Bai’s flight continued.

Finally, as Bai began descending in spirals, Lin Yue composed himself.

Throughout the journey, he had mentally rehearsed countless times how to break through the enemy lines and eliminate every possible foe from all directions!

Even if it were just him alone, using the countless battlefield-honed skills, along with various weapons, he could plunge thousands of lizardmen and beggars into despair!

But then...

Hmm?

Lin Yue opened his eyes and was gently placed on the ground by Bai.

However, everything in front of him was completely different from what he had imagined.
