CHAPTER 602: CHAPTER 437: UNFAMILIAR TERRITORY

The north wind blows, gust after gust.

At this moment, Lin Yue stands with Bai in front of a white door, letting the wind flutter his clothes with a rustling sound.

The white wooden door has the same green bricks as the Ancient Secret Realm Gate.

This is the so-called "Gate of Exploration" that appeared right after the system’s upgrade.

By passing through this three-meter wide, nearly three-meter high door, one can randomly reach any possible location in this Otherworld.

That’s what the system says.

The system seems to never make mistakes.

Especially when it comes to matters involving "gates," this is particularly true.

However, Lin Yue at this moment, doubts linger in his heart, refusing to dissipate!

"A white... gate like the Ancient Secret Realm Gate..."

This kind of description, where has it appeared before?

In the Doomsday Bunker’s diary, from Old Sun’s mouth.

This gate has appeared.

And the description of a gate like this implies direct access to Earth, and won’t be recalled by the system.

Lin Yue doesn’t trust Old Sun; in fact, he feels Old Sun seems to be deliberately keeping this secret, using such words to obfuscate.

But to seek the truth, he must find it from Xing Lingfeng, who has also experienced the first disaster and appeared in the Doomsday Bunker.

However, Xing Lingfeng has directly joined Lily Kalahao’s Refugee Village this time.

If he wants to get someone from her, it means creating a conflict with Lily Kalahao.

After all, Xing Lingfeng certainly wouldn’t let him take the person easily, and Lily Kalahao wouldn’t hand him over lightly.

Snatching by force means war.

Peaceful negotiation? Impossible.

This direction seems to have no solution at the moment, and Xing Lingfeng has also blocked him, leaving no room for continued communication.

Therefore...

"If this door doesn’t lead to Earth, at least one answer can be ruled out." Lin Yue doesn’t believe that Old Sun’s description of the "white Ancient Secret Realm Gate" doesn’t refer to the one in front.

On the contrary, it should only be this one!

"Bai, get ready." No matter what’s on the other side, let’s rush through first!

"Gawoo!" Bai is also fully prepared, now brimming with strength!

The frustration of not being able to fight due to a sprain wasn’t fully released yesterday at the West Gate, but if they reach the other side, it feels ready to cause havoc!

Lin Yue pushed open the white door before him quickly. As he stepped through, the scene on the other side also became visible!

"This is... a valley?"

Lin Yue observed the clouds-touching mountains in the distance, the nearby continuous mountain ranges, and the vast plain he was in, quickly concluding.

The surroundings, deadly silent.

But the near-180 cm tall wild grass told him this might be exactly the place he thought it was.

Earth?

Ha ha.

Old Sun, that old fellow, died without injustice.

"Gawoo." Bai found this place quite novel, circling around to inspect before flapping its wings and soaring high into the sky.

Lin Yue looked at the system tablet.

"Abyssal Valley? Nice name."

Even so.

This is definitely not Earth.

Old Sun, that old rascal, indeed deceived people.

It seems this secret still needs to be sought from Xing Lingfeng.

Is there any breakthrough?

But entering a new map, Lin Yue indeed had more thoughts.

What is the distance from here to the Desert Zone? How vast is the region?

What kind of mutant creatures and survivors are here?

Thinking of survivors...

Lin Yue turned and enveloped the door completely with an iron block to thoroughly sever anyone’s intentions of entering his shelter through this door.

Not to mention...

Wiping out a few innocent Explorers or whatnot, isn’t very interesting, is it?

To know, this gate is on a hill less than 1 km from the city wall.

Completely within the shooting range of the machine dog.

If a foolish Survivor comes over...

Then it’s not fun, right.

Retrieving the system tablet from the Storage Space, Lin Yue tapped open the area map, constantly using two fingers to make a "pinch" motion, shrinking the entire screen.

Soon, he discovered that this region is quite far from the Desert Zone.

Specifically, it’s the extreme southern direction of the Desert Map.

Lin Yue marked this place and then discovered that this region is continuously being expanded by his exploration.

"Bai, you opening the map here also counts..." Lin Yue thought he had to explore for it to count, but now it seems otherwise.

Nonetheless, indeed, now this place isn’t suitable for long stays.

After all, the visible areas are basically covered in wild grass.

Who knows what mutant creature might rush out.

Lin Yue donned the Celestial Dragon Battle Armor, Celestial Dragon Battle Helmet...

Hmm? Where are my Celestial Dragon Battle Boots?

Lin Yue didn’t find the item he’s always worn; could it be during his emergence that it ended up in the warehouse full of treasure chests, tossed away collectively?

Never mind, it’s no big deal.

Donning the Backpack Flame Sprayer and goggles, Lin Yue quickly initiated it, then slowly ascended over ten meters into the air.

Controlling the device, Lin Yue maintained a stable position in mid-air, and looking around, he saw the once-blurry mountain range.

The distance seems quite far from here.

Lin Yue continued surveying the surroundings, finally discovering a small hill a few kilometers away on his right-hand side.
