Chapter 108: Chapter 108: Expedition, Fatal Déjà Vu (Third Update, Bonus Chapter!)

"It’s really quite far, but it’s a good way to digest after a meal."

The crossbow arrow shot out, taking down a charging Spotted Wolf, and after gaining a Copper Treasure Chest, Lin Yue yawned.

There was no challenge; these mutants on the desert.

He wondered if it was just his imagination; the Mutant Sheep on the road now seemed to run away at first sight of him instead of charging.

Even those groups with three or four acted this way, as if he were a Tiger-striped Shadow Deer, far more formidable than them.

Usually, didn’t they charge as if they were fearless?

"Squeak, squeak!" Bai rushed towards two Mutant Sheep chasing large grasshoppers in the distance, but they ran off like they were escaping from the plague.

Bai chased for a while but eventually lost interest and returned.

Now, only the scarce Spotted Wolves still charged in like delivering takeout.

[You obtained Spotted Wolf skin X1]

Lin Yue didn’t squat down for dissection; after all, these mutant animals, about the size of a medium-sized dog, didn’t have much meat, and their smell wasn’t great either.

He set up a wall on the ground, climbed a ladder, and took out a telescope to observe the distance.

On this undulating desert, trees were sparse, mostly small shrubs, without the height for observation.

The wall he carried was quite handy; its three-meter height served as a vantage point to observe the situation like now, or to hide during an encounter with many enemies in Underground Ruins, or to snip from high ground or sneak attack from behind the wall.

Or set up seven or eight traps under the wall for a chain reaction, leaving the enemy helpless from a distance.

It was simply too convenient.

He wondered if others did the same; it should be a basic offensive and defensive method, shouldn’t it?

"That ahead looks like the Shelter, it doesn’t seem too far away." Lin Yue spotted a black silhouette and checked the surroundings, confirming no mutant creature hordes or giant creatures seen before, then descended and packed up the stone wall.

"Squeak!" Bai saw another lone Mutant Sheep, and as it was about to charge, the sheep fled again.

Lin Yue noticed, these Mutant Sheep seemed to have good running ability, just their close-range reactions were a bit slow.

After walking for nearly half an hour, the gray outline of the Shelter gradually became clear.

"Walking is indeed slow, it’s been about an hour, right?"

Lin Yue glanced back towards his Shelter direction, not tired but the time was indeed long.

Without transportation, just walking like this was indeed slow.

Speaking of transportation, he had previously obtained an off-road bicycle design map from Du Ping.

But that thing, let alone making it, was full of hard-to-find parts, simply impossible to manufacture.

Later, when opening a Silver Treasure Chest, he did find a folding bicycle, but it wasn’t suitable for riding in this wilderness.

Other things... hang on, wasn’t there a car in the yard?

He had crafted a car in the Secret Realm, later identified as "damaged" by the system, and left it in the yard gathering dust.

Now, it seemed he could use the High-Precision Research Workstation to dismantle it, then find one or more cars in the Secret Realm to bring back, ultimately combining them like that computer into a usable car.

But even with a car, there was no road to drive on.

This was indeed troublesome.

Lin Yue pondered how to tackle this issue while continuing forward.

After half an hour, he finally arrived next to the Shelter.

"Could it be an iron Shelter, how unexpected, but I guess it’s a win."

An iron Shelter is stronger than a stone one, at least more solid.

Lin Yue surveyed around.

The breeze brushed the wild grass, a deserted and desolate Shelter.

He searched but found no trace left by the original owner nearby.

Pushing open the iron door, Lin Yue looked around.

The room was sparsely furnished, a dusty iron bed, iron furniture, with many iron blocks piled in the corner, and a fireplace against the wall.

Moreover, there were a dozen pelts on the floor, some looking like fur coats.

Lin Yue thought for a moment, stored them in his Storage Space, then walked back out.

Seems like an iron block gathering spot nearby, making this place an iron Shelter with iron furniture.

Yet, he felt this Shelter seemed familiar with an elusive semblance.

Iron Shelter, animal pelts, fireplace... wasn’t someone’s Shelter like this before?

[Fold unmanned Shelter?]

The system voice asked.

"Yes."

[Congratulations, you obtained Shelter Design Map X1]

A pale blue design map remained after a white light vanished.

He searched for the iron mine nearby, walked around, finally spotting a naturally formed, nearly 10-meter deep pit, strewn with stones on the ground, and a dark cave.

It’s probably a mining field.

He encountered this mine for the first time, his place was too barren, with only a small patch of sparse forest, not even finding quarries or mines.

He jumped down, turned on a flashlight, and entered the cave.

The cave was dry and not shallow; after walking about ten meters down inside, he entered a large space.

His flashlight illuminated extremely dark rocks on the walls of this space.

"Is that... iron ore?"

Lin Yue approached for a closer look, Bai joined him, both intrigued by the glossy items.

"Gurgle..."

Suddenly, Lin Yue’s stomach growled.

Hungry.

After traveling far, the instant noodles he ate were fully digested.

"Bai, let’s get some lamb chops!" This place had a certain vibe, Lin Yue lit a torch, placing it by a large rock, fixed with stones.

"Squeak..."

Bai glanced at the cave side, then at Lin Yue’s aromatic lamb chops handed over, fully captivated by them.

"Lamb chops are indeed delicious, and unlike Earth’s mutton, less gamy, quite chewy."

Lin Yue ate and commented.

Though the mutton was tasty, constantly eating it was a bit cloying.

Maybe checking if anyone sells other mutant meats to swap with lamb, wouldn’t that be delightful.

Finished leisurely, Lin Yue burped, pulling out an iron pick.

He hadn’t tried mining before, why not experience it now?

"Squeak, squeak!"

As Lin Yue swung the iron pick, Bai suddenly shouted loudly!

Enemy alert!

Lin Yue dashed towards the cave entrance; being cornered in the underground mine would place him at a big disadvantage!

Could it be mutant creatures approaching? Or...

He sprinted to the cave entrance, climbed up from the pit, quickly identifying the enemy.

It was a large troop of ten or more people, within thirty meters!

"Hold it! If you don’t want to die!"

Seeing Lin Yue emerge from the pit, they immediately shouted loudly!
