Global Wasteland: I Obtained A Top Tier Shelter
Chapter 163 - 164: Unexpected Reward!

Chapter 163: Chapter 164: Unexpected Reward!

"Boo! Boohoo!!" Among the other sixty-three people tied up like caterpillars, one particularly annoying-looking person seemed very excited from earlier. He was desperately trying to get himself off the ground, but was too scared to move after Bai glared at him.

Lin Yue felt that this world was really too small.

How did he encounter this guy again?

Guo Lei was the Survivor who first traded alloy with him. After their second transaction, Lin Yue realized Guo Lei’s thinking was quite problematic and put him on the blacklist.

When they met again, Lin Yue learned that Guo Lei was part of Xia Feihong’s group, all from the same "Refugee Village" under Liu Kai’s leadership.

Initially, after briefly interacting with those people during a high fever last time, Lin Yue thought he wouldn’t have much to do with them in the near future, at most just trading some supplies.

But unexpectedly, they were meeting again in this way now.

"Boohoo!" Guo Lei was crawling like a big worm towards Lin Yue, but Xiao Meng jumped directly in front of him, showed him its sharp teeth, and Guo Lei stayed put.

Lin Yue refocused on Tang Fei: "How did they capture you?"

"I-I don’t know how they got caught, but I was asleep at the time, then woke up to find myself tied up in a sack. My head was spinning, even the system panel wouldn’t open. Later, I was transported to a place where I saw Guo Lei and those people, forced to eat some green mushy soup, it was absolutely awful. After eating, I passed out again. Then..."

"Then what?" Lin Yue found communicating with people from their Refugee Village cumbersome because they included unrelated details in their normal conversations, creating a false sense of familiarity.

"Uh, well, I just checked the time, it’s already the night of the 20th day. We have been here for two days?"

"Two days?" Lin Yue thought these people had entered the Underground Ruins either last night or today, but that wasn’t the case?

He looked at the others, several people from the Tang Country were nodding frantically, it seemed that was indeed true.

Lin Yue took out a dagger, cut the ropes from around their necks, and then cut the ropes between their wrists and ankles.

Now, they could speak, and wouldn’t keep enduring an uncomfortable position.

Although their wrist and ankle bindings remained, severely limiting their mobility.

These people, seeing Lin Yue’s actions, expressed their gratitude in various languages, but quickly fell silent, aware of Lin Yue’s M19 Pistol, his Exoskeleton, the exaggerated Golden Shield, Bone Armor, the Alloy Tactical Crossbow on his back, and, most intimidatingly, the over three-meter-tall silver-white dragon and ferocious-looking little ice lizard beside him!

Lin Yue’s appearance was enough to awe those who wore only simple clothing, newly rescued from the Lizardman’s clutches.

They knew well; any misstep that angered this man would yield severe consequences!

Lin Yue asked in English to those who recently spoke in English, confirming they were indeed captured two days ago.

Some had even sent out distress signals during fleeting moments of consciousness, but they went unanswered, and their location remained uncertain to any would-be rescuers.

Lin Yue guessed the soup given by the Lizardmen probably contained some anesthetic-like effect, explaining why they remained unconscious till now.

Nonetheless, they had been abducted here two days ago...

Lin Yue recalled two days ago the attempt by Lizardmen to intrude his Underground Ruins Gate, understanding the reason now.

If he were unprepared and without Bai, he might have been like these captives.

After cutting their ropes, Lin Yue commanded Bai and Xiao Meng to corral these individuals, never lowering his M19.

"Are we...are we saved now? Lin Yue, did we hear correctly? You killed the Lizardmen? Then...can we leave?" Tang Fei inquired.

No Lizardmen were alive in the altar chamber, Survivors had heard the battle sounds between Lin Yue, the giant dragon, Bai, and the Lizardmen from inside the bags.

Lin Yue led this whole ordeal, yet appeared unfazed and unharmed thereafter.

Effortlessly defeating these Lizardmen not only attributed to his equipment but also displayed Lin Yue’s extraordinarily strong resolve!

Everyone present had faced two disastrous events, acknowledging skilled Survivors.

But they realized, Lin Yue stood above, miles ahead in prowess!

Previously, they heard Lin Yue’s name here and there, knew he topped twice in group rankings, yet no one expected his combat capability to be this formidable!

"You can leave." Lin Yue hadn’t intended to save anyone initially, but events led up to this point.

However, he did not want these people following him back to his Shelter.

Return from where you came.

If they’re captured by Lizardmen again, it’s beyond his concern.

"Really?! Really! We can go back!" The altar chamber instantly filled with joyous exclamations from the group!

"Lin Yue, take this. I didn’t have much when captured, this is the most valuable thing I have now!" Tang Fei spoke, placing a Shelter Design Map in front of Lin Yue.

Lin Yue’s eyes lit up, a good thing indeed.

"Me too, Lin Yue, thank you for the rescue!"

"I don’t have much with me, I’ll repay you when we get back. Take this for now!"

"Mine as well!"

"I told our leader to trade alloy directly with you, free of charge!"

...

One by one, they left items behind, regardless of value, piling them up. Lin Yue was surprised to find he received 6 Shelter Design Maps at once!

Not bad, saving these people yielded rewards.

Even better than a treasure chest.

Though time passed, he didn’t want to stay there much longer.

Lin Yue had Bai and Xiao Meng guide them to the door.

Of course, Lin Yue never let go of the M19, unsure if any of them might repay kindness with malice.

Soon, all 64 were herded to the door by Bai and Xiao Meng, unsure of Lin Yue’s intentions.

"Find weapons and figure out how to return. I won’t be responsible for your journey or destination."

Lin Yue urged their haste, his schedule was tight.

They expressed their gratitude again, retrieving nearby weapons or those from their Storage Space, relieved to survive such an ordeal.

"Bai!" Lin Yue considered and decided to have Bai escort them to the tunnel near the mine.

His Secret Realm Gate was also there, better they not stumble upon his Shelter.

He won’t harm others under the condition they don’t harm him.

If left unattended, and they somehow breached his Shelter, they’d likely be immediately dealt with by the Little Ice Lizards, which felt unsettling.

Escorting them to the tunnel end, away from his Shelter, they’d fend for themselves afterward.

Exiting the underground successfully would be their skill.

"Guh!" Bai accepted Lin Yue’s order, moving behind the group, ready for battle at any moment.

Any attack from them would prompt Bai’s swift and lethal response!

"Finally, they’re all gone..." Lin Yue watched the shadows of those people and Bai disappear through the door, looked toward Xiao Meng, "Let’s continue to hunt down that Lizardman Priest, shall we?"

"Poji!"
