"I hope so, Bai. Let’s get so rest; we have a mountain of things to do tomorrow."
Lin Yue closed the hatch of the Space Sleep Pod and looked at Bai through the completely transparent door.
The little creature was already lying on the sheepskin mat, its body rising and falling with each breath.
Lin Yue still had one nagging question in his mind.
The Ice Lizard, or more specifically, this creature Bai, what exactly is it?
A species capable of evolution, sothing unheard of before, much less imaginable.
After all, on Earth, so-called "evolution" or rather "developnt" of a species is a long process, typically requiring tens or even hundreds of thousands of years, but the Ice Lizard species can evolve in just a few days or dozens of days.
And Bai, beyond that, has even evolved an exceptionally advanced brain capable of instantly understanding the language of unfamiliar species and translating it simultaneously.
It can even engage in quite complex conversations with him, understand his various commands, and execute them accurately.
Most terrifying is that Bai possesses a body stronger than a human’s and also has the ability to fly.
Combat ability?
Lin Yue believes that even if humans ard themselves with guns, a thousand people fighting Bai would eventually be wiped out by Bai unless they had unlimited bullets.
Not to ntion, using mostly cold weapons is the current state of affairs.
This creature is simply too powerful.
Moreover, not only that, the Ice Lizard tribe is referred to as "Sacred" in the Wolf-headed Man’s mythology.
In the history of the Wolf-headed Man, it also holds its own place.
It serves as an assistant to the "Gods", and at the sa ti, exists as their belief and pursuit.
So what was Bai originally in the history of the Wolf-headed Man?
Is it like humans and other humanoid races, exiled here by those behind-the-scenes hands, or is it actually part of those behind-the-scenes entities?
The more Lin Yue thought about it, the more complex it beca.
He always felt that Bai and the Little Ice Lizards might be crucial to so matters.
Thinking of these things, Lin Yue fell into a deep sleep.
The dead of night.
The first drop of black rain fell.
Then, the rain began to fall one drop at a ti, from sparse to gradually dense.
The rain fell at an unhurried pace, yet it kept going indefinitely, unbroken and continuous.
The black raindrops fell on the ground, washing and soaking the ash-laden grass, flowing to lower places, and gradually pooling into small puddles.
These small puddles gradually connected by the black raindrops, converging into larger puddles, stepping further down.
They gradually flowed in the dense sound of rain, becoming small creeks and finally turning into small lakes.
Outside Lin Yue’s Shelter.
The Divine Horn Race was especially busy that night.
They kept digging drainage ditches with tools and erected barriers around their residence with the dug mud, connecting it all into one complete section.
They didn’t know to what extent this black rain would fall, but they understood that doing nothing would an getting subrged by the gradually gathering floodwaters.
Lin Yue’s various outposts’ Divine Horn Race mbers were doing the sa; they had little experience dealing with such disasters.
Having originally lived in rock caves, they had never been troubled even when flash floods occurred.
But in the residences Lin Yue built for them, making such preparations beca a necessity.
The sound of the Divine Horn Race’s disaster response also startled Little Fierce and the other Little Ice Lizards awake, and they ran out too, joining the Divine Horn Race in their nightti labors.
However, the rain showed no intention of stopping, persistently falling without pause.
So humans, too, had not yet gone to sleep and t the rain.
Especially Fei Yue’s forces, having already seized the entirety of the Desert, and now incorporating the majority of the grasslands and hilly regions, also discovered various issues brought by this rain.
In the Shelter, Fei Yue was ceaselessly issuing orders to various units.
He knew that even if they wanted to act, they’d have to wait until after the rain stopped.
The so-called "Anti Lin Yue-Fei Yue Alliance" likewise couldn’t make a move due to the black rain.
It was as if a ceasefire command had been given, forcing the all-out warfare, which should have erupted, to stall after two days of fierce battles with no further progress.
The rain fell non-stop.
The black rainwater nourished the land scorched by the great fire.
A night passed.
Lin Yue opened his eyes, yawning as he got out of bed, and upon opening the pod, he also heard the sound of rain outside.
He drew back the curtain, observing the continuous raindrops outside, and furrowed his brows.
It has finally arrived, this disaster.
The black rain... although it wasn’t as harmful to humans as the previous snow disaster or the subsequent acid rain disaster, which had corrosive effects.
Yet the black rain itself possessed considerable destructive power.
It turned the ground muddy and its black color obstructed vision.
"It seems Fei Yue and his group’s movents will be quite limited now," Lin Yue frowned, sending a ssage to Fei Yue to ask about his current situation, when he heard the sound of Bai waking up behind him.
"Master, although the rain outside isn’t heavy, it seems quite troubleso."
Bai spread its wings, straightened its body, and walked over to the window.
"Indeed quite troubleso, but it doesn’t seem to be too much of an issue for us. Bai, let’s head to the underground first, let’s build a massive warehouse, and then get those Gundam robots out."
As Lin Yue spoke, he opened the elevator and went to the underground warehouse.
He imdiately took out his System Tablet and initiated the creation of a gigantic warehouse underfoot.
The large warehouse was enough to lay the Gundam robots flat on the ground, but Lin Yue still thought it would be better to stand them up.
If it weren’t for the rain outside, he could have placed them outside directly.
But this way is good too; the existence of such tall robots can’t be known to anyone.
Otherwise, who knows what might co?
The height of the gigantic warehouse is approximately five ters, but those Gundam robots, even the shortest ones, were at least about twenty ters tall.
After creating six layers in succession, Lin Yue used the system panel to remove the floor of the second to last layer and continued by removing the floor of the third and fourth layers.
After confirming there was no shaking in the structure, he then used alloy to craft eight support pillars, each one ter in diater and over thirty ters high, placing them in all four directions and in the central position.
Having done all this, he also removed the floor underfoot and, together with Bai, flew to the bottom level.
"This height should be no problem then."
Lin Yue remarked, taking out all the Gundam robots from the Storage Space, placing each one a distance apart, and setting them down one by one.
"They do look quite intimidating." Lin Yue flew to the abdon of one of the Gundam robots primarily painted blue, to what seed like its cockpit, and circled around to find what looked like a charging port.
He took out the repair tools he collected before and, upon finding them, discovered a bundle containing hundreds of wires, which he positioned at the "charging port" spot.
After connecting it to the geothermal power station’s electricity supply, Lin Yue was satisfied to see blue light emanating from the so-called repair tools.
But...
Lin Yue used the system to assess it.
The Gundam robot he had just connected was faulty.
"Uh... This thing indeed, if it’s in perfect condition, that would be strange."
Having slept who knows for how many years, even if it could move, it might not be functional.
After removing the repair tools, Lin Yue took out the High-Precision Research Workstation.
Only by disassembling it into blueprints and dismantling other Gundam robots could they be completely reconstructed.
[You have acquired the blueprint for a large humanoid alloy ard, pilotable war robot]
Oh dear.
Called "Gundam" for short, I suppose.
Lin Yue shook his head speechlessly; no matter how you looked, these were Gundam robots, even the head design didn’t change.
Coincidence?
Or perhaps...
Lin Yue suddenly had a feeling.
Those behind-the-scenes who created this thing...
Perhaps, they are humans themselves?
