Chapter 153: Chapter 154: The Even More Terrifying Disaster Hidden Behind the Acid Rain Flood!

"I’m so foolish, really. I only knew that Lin Yue could rank first on the group leaderboard this time with 4,612 points, which is already terrifying. But I didn’t expect that he would also rank first in the world."

"I’m in awe right now. Wasn’t his score just over 2,500 last time? How did it reach 4,600 in less than seven days? I don’t have any evidence, but I suspect Lin Yue is cheating. His score is terrifying, isn’t it? The five of us together only have 1,423 points."

"World number one... Wait, does this mean Lin Yue brought glory to our group?"

"Well, he brought glory to the people of Tang Country, not to you, a person from Neon Country, right?"

"Weren’t you the one badmouthing Lin before? Now you’re jumping out to talk about him?"

"By the way, the first place in the group gets airdrop rewards, and the world first place is another airdrop reward. I want to protest against the system. Can we not create a hierarchy? Lin Yue has become the one at the top, hasn’t he?"

In the group, as Lin Yue’s double first-place achievements were displayed on the system bulletin in bold red letters, those who had just woken up, and even some Survivors who stayed up all night, found themselves blocked by acid rain inside the Shelter. Unable to do anything, they gathered in the group chat, discussing this big event that had just occurred.

Lin Yue once again achieved group first place.

Many people had already guessed this, even accustomed to it, thinking it would be problematic if he wasn’t first this time.

However, some felt it was unusual, especially those in the teams following closely behind, all thinking this way.

Some even opened up Lin Yue’s comprehensive scores, studying them closely, and concluded that this person might truly be extraordinarily gifted, inherently belonging to the hardworking or lucky type, or perhaps originally a special forces soldier or survival expert.

Otherwise, this comprehensive score is truly absurdly high.

And it was all done by him alone.

Now, not only in the group, but even on the world channel, Lin Yue’s ranking overshadowed the discussions about the impending double disasters, becoming the hottest topic.

However, the people here seemed more rational, paying attention to things other than Lin Yue.

"Who is Lin Yue?"

"You don’t know him? You must be new. He’s the one who first entered some electronic technology stage, causing the system to passively update and eventually making us face these two disasters."

"Aren’t you afraid Lin Yue will blacklist you? He’s in our group, and last night, he released a huge amount of sand, exchanging it for only one stone material, collapsing those dozen or so profiteers in our group, ultimately saving many people and disgusting the profiteers in the process."

"Luckily, I’m not in his group. Otherwise, I’d be beaten twice over."

"Indeed, with a score of 4,612, leaving Zakrov’s team, who has 4,011 points, in the dust. I know Zakrov’s team has 71 people, and Lin Yue, just one person, managed to outscore such a big team and even tread upon billions. Truly a god."

"Lin Yue is awesome (voice break)!"

"Stop bragging, okay? I’m tired of hearing it, let me have a go!"

"Speaking of which, I’m first in our group, and last time, I was first too. Last time the reward was a Golden Treasure Chest, and I don’t mind saying it because it’s kind of public knowledge. But this time, being first in the world, what chest will be given?"

"If it’s something above a Golden Treasure Chest, then it’s platinum, diamond?"

"Does it have to be a chest? Is it possible to send a girl instead?"

"Wow, with this acid rain, airdropping a girl would leave nothing but bones before hitting the ground. Besides, how could a person be a prize?"

"I thought of something funny. What if the airdrop gets washed away by the acid rain flood and someone else picks it up?"

"Be reasonable. Wouldn’t the system have considered this? Speaking of which, I actually made a major discovery related to the survival of humanity as a whole."

"I’m all ears."

"I discovered, ************! Didn’t you guys notice? *******!"

"If you’re going to say, just say it, what is with the code words? You’re wasting time!"

"Weird, is it the system that’s not allowing him to say it? Before, people were cursing, and nothing like this happened."

"Wait, speaking of discoveries, I have one too, and that’s *********!"

"What the hell? What’s going on!"

"Hey? Did I say something? Does this mean that anything related to this can’t be said? I get it; this cheating method seems we can only discuss it privately. By the way, if you want to know, add me as a friend, even on the world channel. You can’t be unaware, right? Actually, ****** is pretty easy to guess. I’m not worried about others, I’m off first."

"He surely means *****, and I think it’s easy to guess. The system is trying to cover it up but in doing so, actually reveals more."

...

Lin Yue watched the endless stream of words pass by on the world channel, from discussions about the airdrop to focusing on the blocked-out information.

This world channel group seemed to care more about more important matters than praising him.

The contents of the airdrop weren’t too critical, since even if it were dropped into his yard, he couldn’t go out to get it.

The pouring acid rain outside would render his raincoat and umbrella completely ineffective.

The final words spoken by those people—clearly not intentionally—were "blocked" by the system, yet Lin Yue had some thoughts.

What did the system block?

It’s not curse words, as previous verbal disputes in the group weren’t blocked like this. It must be something unspeakable.

So, in the face of disaster, what’s unspeakable?

"The method of cheating, perhaps." Lin Yue came to his final conclusion.

According to the original idea, disasters are the system’s way of selecting the strongest humans. But if there’s a way to block or ignore the damage from the disaster, then the announced disasters become meaningless.

And as for avoiding this disaster, there happens to be one method.

Go to the Underground Ruins!

The Underground Ruins Gate hasn’t closed, and the system hasn’t indicated closure either.

Compared to the acid rain floods above, the Underground Ruins must be far safer.

Even if there are Lizardmen, you may not even encounter them. All you need is to hold out until the disaster ends.

Lin Yue shook his head. The matter is quite easy to guess, after all. Whether it’s vanquishing the mutant creatures inside or dealing with Lizardmen, you’d still earn treasure chests. Plus, the system’s other functions still work inside, so...

Wait a minute.

Lin Yue suddenly thought of a terrifying possibility.

Although the system tries hard to disguise it, even blocking the related words, it seems to have fired up people’s desire to speak out about it.

Moreover, this matter isn’t hard to deduce. Soon enough, many more will surely figure it out.

So, what will be the result?

A mass of Survivors entering the underground space, and then...

With more people, chaos ensues, and with Lizardmen that can drop treasure chests, arguments, infighting, and even...

Combat!

In such confined spaces, battles would be the most terrifying disaster!

Sorry everyone, I’m not feeling well, so only two updates today...
