Battle, once it occurs when there’s a huge gap in power between the two sides, becos utterly bland.
This mont, in the battle between Lin Yue and dozens of Lizardn, epitomizes that perfectly.
After a few gunshots, what he harvested was a pile of Copper Treasure Chests, and a heap of Lizardn corpses.
And those who had been shot by him earlier and lost their fighting strength were all individually given a throat and heart cut.
"Total... 54 Copper Treasure Chests, not a wasted trip." Lin Yue collected all sorts of weapons from the ground, even though most were wooden or iron, it didn’t stop him from repurposing them using the High-Precision Research Workstation to turn them into various raw materials.
He might even directly throw them into the Survival Points Mall to recycle them into Survival Points.
As for these corpses, Lin Yue wasn’t interested in collecting them.
Let whoever wants them, take them.
"Whoosh." Suddenly, a Little Ice Lizard discovered sothing and dashed towards a boulder, quickly followed by a person’s shout.
Oh?
Lin Yue walked over swiftly, discovering a person with blonde hair raising their hands.
On his shoulder lay that Little Ice Lizard, maintaining a grip on the neck.
As long as the person dared to move, a huge tear would appear next on the neck!
"Don’t kill ! Don’t kill !"
That person spoke in a terrified and despairing tone.
Lin Yue walked forward, holding only an M19, the infrared sighting scope’s light settled on his forehead.
The other three Little Ice Lizards maintained their vigilance, Lin Yue looked at him coldly, eyes sharp as blades.
"Don’t kill ! Don’t kill ! I beg you, I beg you..."
"Shut up, I ask you answer, be honest, or your head will explode!"
"Yes, yes!" That person suddenly burst out with words in Tang Country’s language.
Lin Yue raised an eyebrow.
Goodness, what’s with this one.
"From Tang Country?"
"No, no, no, I’m from Lighthouse Country! I see you handle a gun so well, you must be one of us from Lighthouse Country, haha... Can you let live? I promise never to appear before you again!" That person’s expression suddenly relaxed a lot.
Yellow-skinned banana...
Lin Yue lost the last bit of goodwill towards him.
"I asked you, what’s your relationship with the Lizardn." He felt increasingly irritated.
"Uh, we... we’re actually here to coexist with the Lizardn, you know, this world has a loophole—oh right, you don’t know the world’s loophole, do you? No matter how many disasters occur outside, once every seven days or five, even every day, underground doesn’t get affected, so we directly made an agreent with those green guys, we taught them so knowledge or mined Natural Sulfur Ore like just now in exchange for underground rights, and they won’t attack us... Oh right, you’re here to mine ore too? Hey, brother..."
"I don’t want to hear nonsense, you’re saying they made an agreent with you, so you could coexist with them, right?" Lin Yue confird a doubt.
"Ah, don’t be impulsive, don’t be impulsive, I’m saying, uh, that’s right, we provide knowledge, whether it’s slting or manufacturing, they’re too primitive, feels like ancient savages." That person continued.
Indeed it was like this.
His guess was correct.
These people sold human dignity to survive, even passing forbidden common knowledge and technology to Lizardn, who while having low developnt ability, learn well and assimilate knowledge.
Do these people know what they are doing?
Aren’t they afraid these monsters will use this absorbed knowledge to turn against their kind, other Survivors?
No, it’s already happening.
This Natural Sulfur Ore Mountain now being mined is the best proof.
Thinking back to the gunpowder... Lin Yue now suspects that perhaps this was taught to the Lizardn by these people too.
"You erged from underground, and underground... isn’t just Underground Ruins, is it?"
Lin Yue suddenly had a bold assumption.
He had thought about this long ago but had never concluded.
Underground Ruins hosting so many Lizardn doesn’t make sense, they’re likely not only in Underground Ruins.
"Uh, about that..." the person paused, seeming hesitant.
But as a slight pain ca from the neck, he imdiately beca honest.
"Right, right right! They aren’t just in Underground Ruins, there are quite a few nests underground too, I even heard from soone captured that Lizardn are also in caves, and tribes in forests..."
What!
So there are underground nests, and Lizardn in caves and forests?
Goodness, this is quite so intel, assuming it’s true.
"How long have you mixed with these Lizardn?" Lin Yue decided to pursue further, the intel was enough to process, and if the person could provide more, it would save him ti!
"Sir, you know this... ah!"
Suddenly, a ground hole appeared underneath the blonde person, at the sa ti a Lizardman instantly pierced his chest with an Iron Spear!
"Gulp... ho... I, I don’t want to die here, I’m still..."
The massive penetrating wound punctured his heart and lungs, he could hardly say anything, falling heavily to the ground.
And that Lizardman was almost simultaneously bitten through the neck by Little Ice Lizard, Lin Yue’s Armor-Piercing Arrow also hit its chest, piercing through.
[You obtained a Copper Treasure Chest]
I would prefer intel.
Lin Yue walked over, all four Little Ice Lizards also dove into nearby ground holes, occasionally the scream of Lizardn could be heard, with two bitten ones crawling out directly, but were shot dead by Lin Yue’s arrows.
Three Copper Treasure Chests pocketed, Lin Yue saw no more Lizardn, and the Little Ice Lizards returned to the surface.
All turned quiet again.
The breeze blew, wild grass and Mad Poison Herb on the Desert swayed with the wind.
Corpses piled on the ground lay silent, Lin Yue coldly watched them, as if glimpsing a future.
He walked to the person’s corpse, the spearhead swept the gleaming spot beside him.
[You obtained 2 cubic ters of Storage Space.]
[All items in Storage Space rged into your Storage Space]
[You obtained Natural Sulfur Ore X33, Horror Pig jerky 2kg, Underground River water 4L, Shelter Design Map X2]
The harvest wasn’t a total loss.
Lin Yue released the mining specialized robotic dogs, sending two to mine, he glanced at the corpses once more, finally decided, took out a torch, and ignited them in order.
Of course, he recycled the recoverable arrows as well.
Though they could be made anyti, having extra stored wouldn’t hurt.
Once done, he opened the system panel.
The robotic dogs were great, just materials were hard to collect, better to gather more, maybe soone else would have them?
He suddenly noticed Fei Yue sent a new ssage.
"Lin Yue, Third Master passed away, henceforth I’ll be our Refugee Village’s leader, if you need anything, we’ll do our utmost to find, and if you will, we’d like direct control under your leadership, what do you think?"
