"I an nothing else, Fei Yue. Ongoing battles and exploration heavily rely on logistics. If you want to conquer the entire Desert in a short tifra, lacking logistics support, you won’t be able to continue. So, with regard to grain and vegetables, I will help as much as I can. After all, your ability to conquer the entire Desert is beneficial, not harmful, to ," Lin Yue explained.
This action by Fei Yue is essential.
Currently, humanity is still in an extrely scattered state, without any strong leader among them.
In this loose state, it’s fundantally impossible to ensure a united effort in facing similar crises.
Not to ntion the entire Otherworld, just within this Desert Zone, there are hundreds or even thousands of Refugee Villages. Even after gradual integrations, there is still no common leader to face mutant creatures, disasters, and Lizardn.
In tis of outnumbering enemies, such loose states will easily lead to smaller Refugee Villages, with few resources and population and extrely lacking combat power, being wiped out effortlessly.
Therefore, smaller Refugee Villages rging into larger ones, the weak into the strong, has always been the correct trend.
However, under the influence of disasters, the pace of this trend is incredibly slow.
To the point that even in this small part of the Desert, there are still hundreds of Refugee Villages existing.
Fei Yue’s operation to sweep across the entire Desert can integrate all the Refugee Villages and can gather these scattered forces under Fei Yue’s command to act more orderly and precisely.
For example.
Eradicating all the Lizardn in the Desert Zone!
Fei Yue’s strength is small because his Refugee Village has just that many people.
Six hundred combatants aren’t actually that many.
Moreover, wanting to explore Underground Ruins, Secret Realm, Special Secret Realm, obtain food, collect materials, etc., will disperse these numbers, leading to little combat strength available.
Consider this, currently, Fei Yue can only send out 100 people to explore gems and eliminate Lizardn in the Underground Ruins.
But what if that number were tenfold, twentyfold, or even a hundredfold?
Lin Yue felt that if it could really be like this, even if Lizardn were as nurous as cattle, Fei Yue’s people could completely overwhelm them, right?
The sa applies to Secret Realm Beasts; when Fei Yue can dispatch similar troops into the Secret Realm, even a vast number won’t withstand the concentrated gunfire and would die miserably.
Moreover, there’s another advantage to doing so.
His connection with Fei Yue is very close.
If he and Fei Yue want to accomplish sothing together, the more people under Fei Yue, the easier the task becos. Forget about doubling the results by half the effort; even if Lin Yue wanted Fei Yue to build a giant city, it should be doable in an hour or two.
Even if he needed materials, Fei Yue could lead people into the Secret Realm and bring back hundreds or thousands of tis what was needed, right?
Therefore, the expansion of Fei Yue’s strength is only beneficial and not harmful to him.
"I understand. Conquering the Desert, eh, pretty simple. But I’ll say it here first, Lin Yue, I might manage to attack the plots next to the Desert before the next disaster strikes, do you believe it?" Fei Yue said, laughing again.
"Stay grounded, Fei Yue." Lin Yue shook his head wryly at this carefree Fei Yue. "Alright, ti for bed. After the disaster ends tomorrow, if you can manage to give so more scrap cars, your fleet could use a few extra vehicles."
Although one heavy truck could transport all combat personnel to various locations, Lin Yue still felt that it would be better to have an extra two big trucks for Fei Yue.
This person’s strategic and tactical skills surpass his own greatly; perhaps an extra few vehicles could expedite the conquest of the entire Desert?
If the Desert really could be conquered...
Even Lily Kalahao’s words wouldn’t count for much, right?
Lin Yue thought as he turned off the lights in the sleeping chamber and lay down, closing his eyes.
Drowsiness ca like a tidal wave, and Lin Yue went with the flow, entering dreamland.
At this mont.
Outside the Shelter’s walls.
Huge fires, nearly igniting the whole world, were scorching everything.
Dry grass five ters tall beca excellent fuel, gradually spreading into a single, unending sheet in the wildfires’ tyranny, leaving scorched ash and charcoal behind. Countless mutant creatures and insects turned to ashes alongside.
In the nightti sky, sand and rocks danced.
The wind made the flas more violent, also leaving the circus of exhausted, mutated flying birds and insects in pain.
They’re entirely unable to settle down for a quick rest—whether where the flas burn or where the ashes lie, it’s all intolerably hot, even drying so small lakes with the heat of the flas.
Larger lakes—only their deepest parts remain cool enough for aquatic life to survive.
The flas beca waves of fire, then seas of fire.
Driven by the wind, the great fire quickly swept the entire Desert once, with other areas equally devastated.
And within these flas.
Each Refugee Village stood like a lone island, proudly surviving in this sea of fire.
Intelligent Survivors had built sufficiently strong barriers deep underground, and around the Refugee Villages, sufficient buffer zones.
Of course, not all Refugee Villages managed to do this perfectly.
There were also so smaller Refugee Villages, or those overly confident in themselves. And Survivors who ventured into the Underground Ruins relished the taste of this fourfold disaster’s ruthless destruction.
The Survivors in the Underground Ruins quickly beca skeletons, unable to fend off the ocean-like swarms of bugs tunneling underground.
Those who didn’t establish buffer zones, or who sought refuge in tall buildings dozens of ters above, never imagined how the wind would intensify the flas imnsely. Still, they roasted in agony as the air temperature rose.
The night was very long.
The sea of flas turned night into day, and during the day, black smoke turned the day back into night.
Twelve hours, like a countdown to death.
Taking many lives, they disappeared without a trace into the Otherworld as if never having arrived.
With a stretch, Lin Yue opened his eyes as the sleeping chamber’s lid opened, and he sat up.
In front of him, Bai, Xiao ng, and other Little Ice Lizards were waiting for him to get up, seemingly having waited for a long ti.
"What’s up? Why are you all gathering around?" Lin Yue glanced at the ti.
Goodness, even afternoon two o’clock works.
Slept straight through the disaster—a sleep truly lengthy beyond compare.
Indeed, much ntal exertion was spent chatting with Fei Yue last night, contemplating various upcoming tasks even in dreams.
"Master, everything outside seems different," Bai pointed towards the window; it was obscured by thick curtains, and Lin Yue couldn’t see what had changed outside.
"All different? Was last night’s fire too big?"
Yawning, he approached the window, pulled back the curtains, and was montarily stunned for nearly five seconds.
Night?
No.
A black sky, a black Desert.
Everything black.
How big was last night’s fire really?
Seeing a thick layer of black clouds in the sky made Lin Yue feel like this disaster had been taken to extres.
If it rains next, I bet it’d be a black rain, wouldn’t it?
"Bai, the damage, how is it? How have we fared?"
"Master, all is fine inside the walls; none of the buildings are damaged, but everything turned black." Bai reported to Lin Yue.
"Black? Oh... Well, that’s fine. The wind was strong last night too; black can be washed away. Let go take a look." Lin Yue said as he put on his clothes and headed toward the elevator.
In the elevator, he gazed into the distance.
Suddenly, he recalled sothing he had forgotten to do before.
Wait, the Petroleum River Sub-Base, is it okay there...
Lin Yue suddenly rembered that there was a sub-base by the Petroleum River.
Although all the Little Ice Lizards had been withdrawn earlier, truthfully, the area remained extrely dangerous.
After all, Petroleum River was a flammable and explosive thing!
"Bai, quickly follow to the Petroleum River Sub-Base!"
There seems to be one more thing to confirm...
The overhead bridge’s short-distance rail fast train, is it alright?
