CHAPTER 613: CHAPTER 442: THE MOST VALUABLE INFORMATION_2

If the bodies left here are not handled promptly, they might lead to epidemics and other issues.

Bai looked at the wild grass outside, pointed with a big paw at the fire, then the grass, and shook his head.

"Wow, you get that too?"

He really hadn’t expected that Bai could think of such a layer.

Indeed, with so much grass, if it catches fire, it would not be a joke.

Especially since this grass almost completely envelops the shelter; if not handled properly, it might ignite the entire desert...

Wait a minute.

Could this mean...

Lin Yue suddenly felt that he might have figured out what the second disaster that might come would be!

Fire!

The rapid growth of plants might not only bring issues with increased oxygen levels.

Without rain for a long time, drought could also deprive these wild grasses of moisture.

Drought!

This is also a disaster!

Although it has indeed only rained a few times since coming to this Otherworld, it seemed like there had been no rain in the three days since the last disaster.

In the future, this drought might continue for another dozen or so days, arriving on the fiftieth day of this round of disaster!

By then, the increasingly taller and drier wild grasses will completely surround the Refugee Villages, and eventually...

As long as the Survivors are not careful...

No, even if they are careful, this source of fire cannot be completely avoided!

After all, there are still two billion people in the Survivor community.

Among them, quite a few are beggars!

No matter how careful the Survivors are, if a beggar causes trouble, it would surely plunge all the Survivors on the ground into a hell of flames!

This, too terrifying.

However, perhaps he was just being overly worried; perhaps the drought would not come, and perhaps there would be a continuous downpour, causing the wild grasses to grow even more vigorously...

But no matter what.

The bodies here must be cleaned up first.

And fire prevention has become a necessary task now.

Glancing at the Storage Space, Lin Yue walked to a nearby patch of wild grass and quickly established a stone platform about fifty meters long and wide.

This platform conveniently connected to the road, allowing for easy reversal when driving heavy trucks in the future.

For now, however, this place would be used to pile up the corpses of Lizardmen, and after a while, it would be where they are burned and disposed of.

Bai saw the platform Lin Yue had made, communicated briefly with Xiao Meng, and soon Xiao Meng dragged over a large pile of Lizardmen corpses.

It must be said, Xiao Meng indeed had far more strength than Bai and seemed to have endless energy; strings of Lizardmen corpses were thrown over by it, as casually as tossing small mudskippers.

Well done.

Lin Yue felt he had time to do other things now.

Moreover, before that, he could contact Fei Yue.

If it really is a drought...

Then it would indeed be quite troublesome.

Taking out the System Tablet, Lin Yue suddenly thought of something.

This gadget actually has many uses.

Just like those folders and documents Du Ping made.

It doesn’t necessarily need to be used only like a real tablet, just for browsing groups, chatting, and checking the trade mall.

Speaking of which, he’s always had two things that were a bit bothersome.

Those were the two diaries obtained from the Shelter in the desert and the Doomsday Bunker.

If they could be uploaded to this tablet, it would be much more convenient for occasional browsing.

He first took out the diary obtained from the Doomsday Bunker and created a new folder on the desktop of the tablet.

Opening the folder, he pointed the System Tablet’s camera at the first page of the diary.

[The entire text carrier can be scanned; would you like to proceed?]

Oh wow, the system actually responded.

Full-text scanning... what needs to be done?

"Confirm."

[Please place the text carrier to be scanned below the Systempad; after a short moment, the scan will be complete.]

Hmm? Is it really that advanced? It can scan without flipping pages.

Lin Yue crafted a new table with two planks, placed the diary on it, and then placed the tablet on top.

After a short wait, the system’s voice sounded.

[Scan completed. The text carrier is now displayed as a separate file in the folder, available for review at any time.]

Lin Yue picked up the System Tablet, clicked on the document named "Doomsday Bunker Diary," and found that every word had indeed been scanned perfectly.

Moreover, those handwritten words had all been converted to standard Tang script, making it quite convenient to read.

"Not bad, this one can be discarded too." Lin Yue picked up the Doomsday Bunker diary, shook it, and indeed there was nothing inside.

Hmm, no hidden designs or anything.

Generally speaking,

Many old books might have hidden goodies.

There was a time when he, after graduating from high school and working to save some money, borrowed a three-wheeled flatbed to collect old books and newspapers from nearby to sell them as scrap for some money.

Although he didn’t collect much, when he delivered the scraps to the recycling station, he got interested in the titles of a few books and decided to take a look.

Unexpectedly, he found 50 yuan tucked inside one of the dictionaries!

When he took the dictionary to find the original owner, he was scolded and chased away, accused of whining about the low price offered for the old book.

Later, Lin Yue flipped through the remaining old books on the cart and only found coins worth about eighty cents.

He ended up tucking those 50 yuan beneath his bed slats, intending to return them later, but he quickly forgot about it when the acceptance letter arrived, and he was no longer allowed to stay at the orphanage.

"Forget it, it doesn’t matter now." Lin Yue put away the diary this time, deciding not to open it again.

Next...

Scan the diary gathered from the Shelter.

Also, when there’s time, scan those tattered books obtained from the Doomsday Bunker; they could serve as bedtime reading material for sleepless nights.

Placing that diary under the System Tablet, another successful scan.

However...

Does this diary really have scanning value?

Lin Yue thought about it; it seemed to record the life struggles of a man in this Otherworld whose father was not his father and son not his son, if he remembered correctly?

It didn’t seem to have any particularly worthwhile records.

Although it mentioned some things about Du Ping and Levik, both of them are dead now.

Emmm...

Lin Yue pondered whether to skip the scan and just toss it away.

The system, however, indicated the scan was complete.

Lin Yue glanced at the scanned document and considered deleting it.

Compared to Du Ping’s records, this diary seemed to have little, if any, value at all...

Wait a minute.

Du Ping’s records?

Lin Yue recalled something.

He immediately accessed Du Ping’s records.

[Lin Yue]

...

[The last fool I encountered said that after his severe fever subsided, his body underwent a change, possessing several times the strength of an average person; I killed him when he lifted a stone weighing at least a ton and couldn’t figure anything out]

[Liu Kai, the former leader of the Refugee Village, suddenly became able to speak fluently with the Lizardmen! Is this some kind of special ability?]

[Liu Kai once told me, Lin Yue also had a severe fever before; could their strange phenomena have something to do with that fever?]

[Is it possible for humans to evolve in the Otherworld?]

...

Lin Yue read through the text line by line.

"The last fool I encountered went through a severe fever?"

Lin Yue suddenly had an inexplicable feeling.

This feeling... kept urging him to connect these things together.

Could this so-called "fool" be the person from this diary?

After all, the diary did mention that person and his old man had once experienced a "high fever," and though the old man unfortunately passed, this person survived.

"But still, this evolution talk is quite far-fetched, isn’t it? After all, there’s nothing written about it in this diary?"

Lin Yue opened the document again and read from the beginning to the end.

Sure enough, there was no trace related to it.

It seemed... hmm? Why could he scroll down further?

Lin Yue suddenly noticed that there was an empty space of dozens of lines after the last day’s entry in the diary, followed by a line of text.

[What has happened to me?]

[Why has my body undergone these changes?]

[Why am I now able to lift that massive stone that I could never lift before?]

[Could it be that I have gained a superpower?]
