The long night stretches endlessly.
Two golden full moons hang high in the sky, each positioned on opposite sides, bringing a touch of brightness to this deep night.
A door of the shelter’s ergency passage is pushed open. Lin Yue, clad in the Light-Dissolving Nightwear Set, sared himself with the Lizardman’s blood and sweat, donned the full-color military night vision device, and blended seamlessly with the night.
Since waking up, Lin Yue could no longer fall asleep.
It seed that since arriving in this Otherworld, it was the first ti he had woken up this early.
However, he decided he absolutely could not think on the sofa next ti; it was too easy to fall asleep on it, and it had happened twice already.
The temperature remained unbearable, as if the heat rose from the ground into the air, making it hard to breathe.
In the silent, deep night, everything seed frozen in place, too quiet compared to Earth.
Unknown bird-like mutant creatures perched on the roof of the shelter, on the tops of the walls, and on the high walls enclosing the greenhouses. They noticed the sudden appearance of a black shadow. So nearby were startled, flapping their wings and flying away.
Lin Yue glanced at those that hadn’t flown away and took out his sniper rifle to shoot one down!
[You have killed a Three-eyed Owl, and obtained a Copper Treasure Chest!]
Oh, another Copper Treasure Chest.
As the bird-like mutant creature fell, the remaining monsters fled. Lin Yue picked up the fallen creature and examined it, discovering it indeed had three blood-red eyes, which was quite horrifying.
Another Copper Treasure Chest added to the collection.
Lin Yue didn’t have ti to open it; he had accumulated too many of them. He intended to open them all together later, but not now.
He proceeded forward, entered the warehouse, stored so items into the Storage Space, and opened the alloy gate.
The asphalt road ahead, extending to the left, remained as smooth as before, stretching like a straight river into the distance in the darkness.
The Lizardman corpses outside had ceased burning, now reduced to piles of ashes. In the distance, thick smoke still billowed from the enormous skeleton of the Ox-Carrier Serpent Dragon, and the stench of burning continued to waft through the air.
Lin Yue glanced in that direction, opened the system panel’s regional map, and confird his location and the position of the Natural Sulfur Ore Mountain.
"It’s ti to build the road. I’ll build as much as I can; there’s no way I can sleep anyway."
Road construction is a chanical and tedious task, yet it is an extrely aningful endeavor.
Bai’s long-distance flights are indeed convenient but have their drawbacks and limitations.
Being a biological entity, fatigue is inevitable. Long-distance flights tire Bai greatly, and repeated flights intensify this fatigue, delaying many tasks.
Bai is his most crucial ally and companion, ant to shine in exploration and combat, not rely serve as a transportation thod.
The repeated flights are exhausting, particularly evident during the Nitrate Ore battle.
The shelter battles delayed it, and balancing the Nitrate Ore front also greatly diminished its combat effectiveness.
Therefore, Lin Yue felt that constructing this road was urgent and crucial.
Of course, a road connecting to the Nitrate Ore site must also be built, but with Xiao ng, Little Ice Lizards, and those robot dogs stationed there, it’s not as pressing.
Now, after securing the Nitrate Ore, Lin Yue felt it necessary to thoroughly claim the Natural Sulfur Ore Mountain, preventing the Lizardn from having any chance to plunder his ores further.
To fulfill this, many preparations were essential, with the most important being the construction of a road from the shelter to the Natural Sulfur Ore Mountain!
The ATV’s speed isn’t particularly fast but highly convenient. In this Otherworld devoid of traffic congestion, a well-built road will be the most direct ans to reach the Natural Sulfur Ore Mountain.
Soon, guided by the system, he completed a segnt of road, then moved on to lay the second and third segnts without pause.
Road paving is monotonous and tiring, but Lin Yue patiently committed himself to doing it well.
Lying flat and giving up, there will be plenty of ti for that after death.
But while alive, he refused to let idleness and laziness drive him quickly toward death.
The temperature remained high and seed to increase with ti, making Lin Yue feel its gradual rise.
A disaster was indeed imminent, and how hot the so-called "extre heat" would get, no one could predict.
Fifty degrees? Sixty degrees?
Hopefully not...
If temperatures reach that high, it would be absurd.
However, this disaster hadn’t managed to close off the loophole of the "underground," providing a lifeline for all survivors.
Yet this lifeline is not an easy path to tread.
Lizardn, beggars, and survivors are all struggling...
A similar disaster, yet seemingly more brutal.
How much space could the underground offer? If an oxygen shortage occurs, it could be catastrophic on a large scale.
