Global Wasteland: I Obtained A Top Tier Shelter
Chapter 172 - 173: What is the date today?

Chapter 172: Chapter 173: What is the date today?

The ocean of acid rain enveloped everything in the world, and the dazzling white light, gleaming with sunlight, made Lin Yue momentarily feel that he had arrived at some isolated island in the sea.

The semi-transparent ocean of acid rain was dyed an extremely light blue by the blue sky above, but it was not that deep.

Lin Yue observed carefully and quickly concluded that it was only about one and a half meters deep, being only half the height of the outer wall.

Moreover, the water level seemed to be continuously decreasing.

The melting furnace was also soaked in the acid rain sea, but for now, it seemed to be no big deal.

He stood on the rooftop, gazing into the distance.

Perhaps because of the ocean of acid rain, he could vaguely see some outlines in the far distance.

The shadows of towering mountains, countless forests like high towers, numerous hills resembling small islands, and even small black dots like shelters all came into his view.

Taking out the sighting scope, he looked around and suddenly discovered a massive entity!

"A giant creature?" He was astonished to find that the entity was completely unafraid of the acid rain, and it was extremely large, moving continuously in the distance.

Lin Yue felt a bit incredulous.

Wasn’t this acid rain supposed to be a special rain capable of corroding flesh? How could it be ineffective against that giant creature?

He took the sighting scope and carefully magnified the giant creature, which he had looked at many times.

Yet he still saw that the thing moved in the mirror-like acid rain sea reflecting the blue sky as if nothing bothered it, like a lonely drifting island.

Lin Yue put down the sighting scope.

He had already witnessed the destructive power of this giant creature before, but from the information gathered now, it seemed it wouldn’t easily leave a certain range, as if guarding something.

However, speaking of guarding something...

Lin Yue suddenly remembered something.

During the previous system 2.0 update, apart from the appearance of this giant creature, there were also many new and different contents.

But now it seems, apart from one thing that had not appeared, everything else seemed to have appeared.

The so-called "resources"!

The system had mentioned "resources," and they were "random."

Coincidentally, the location of the giant creature’s appearance was also "random."

Lin Yue had deliberately searched in group and world channels before, trying to find some information about these "random resources," but all he saw was everyone discussing and questioning what these resources were and where, with no confirmed sightings.

But now, Lin Yue felt as if he found the answer.

If not...

Why would such a giant creature always stay within a certain area?

Wouldn’t it be interested in the shelters on this desert?

"To verify the answer and find that unknown resource, I need to take down that giant creature... By the way, if I kill it, what treasure chest will it drop?"

Lin Yue suddenly had such a thought.

This is because the victory experience accumulated in battles within the Underground Ruins and Secret Realm had given him confidence to think this way.

After all, whether it was the dominating battles against the monster winged dragon, tentacle monster, or giant rat, or nearly overwhelming fights against the lizardmen in the Underground Ruins, his confidence in battle now was incomparable to before.

The diverse and multipurpose weapons further sustained this confidence.

All fear stems from insufficient firepower. With Bai, the tactical crossbow, M19 pistol, and the sniper rifle, Lin Yue had considerable advantages in combat at close, mid, and long ranges.

Thinking about these, Lin Yue realized that it was almost evening unknowingly.

The rain had stopped, and only a few hours remained for the disaster to pass, making him sigh with relief.

The third disaster, the acid rain and flood disaster, passed with no danger after all.

Compared to the first snow disaster and the second earthquake, the third did require more effort, but overall it wasn’t too difficult.

If anything, it’s because he had more to protect than before.

Whether it was Bai and the Little Ice Lizards at home, or numerous supplies, more shelters, even two greenhouses, and those cars and planes, he definitely had more to guard.

"Seems like, after the water recedes, I really need to plan carefully."

Lin Yue re-aimed his sighting scope to scan nearby before returning.

However, at this moment, he suddenly discovered, outside the second outer wall where the original small lake was, two large white objects floated above.

Previously, he might have missed them due to reflections caused by too much sunlight, but now with the sun’s position changed, he could discover them.

"What is that? Cloth? But that cloth looks familiar!"

Lin Yue suddenly remembered what it was.

The two air-drop rewards received by the group ranking first and the world ranking first last time!

"Goodness, I completely forgot about this. Even if remembered, there’s no way to retrieve it in this acid rain."

The air-drop reward received by the first in the group ranking was a golden treasure chest, which he knew and had indeed opened for good stuff.

But what was the air-drop reward for the world ranking? A golden treasure chest?

Or perhaps a platinum treasure chest?

Lin Yue suddenly became interested.

He was tired of opening copper chests, silver chests were almost the same, even golden chests were not surprising anymore.

But it was the platinum chest, only opened once so far.

For high-level treasure chests, he wouldn’t refuse them. The treasure chest received by the world ranking first couldn’t be worse.

"Not bad, not bad; looks like I can look forward to after the water recedes tomorrow." Lin Yue rubbed his hands together, covering the wooden board back up.

In case the acid rain came back unexpectedly, missing a piece would be quite funny.

By the way, what date is today?

[Doomsday Calendar, 21st]

...

[Survival Points Daily Settlement Successful: Survival Points +4612]

[Survival Points Remaining from Yesterday: 7259]

[Total Survival Points: 11871]

Oh, it’s the 21st already.

Returning to the shelter, Lin Yue saw that Bai and the Little Ice Lizards were waiting below for him, seeming worried.

"It’s nothing, just watched the scenery a bit," Lin Yue patted them, then returned to the kitchen and unplugged the fully charged robot dog.

Bai and the others heard the movement, all rushing over as if following their owner was their sole entertainment.

Lin Yue found the switch under the robot dog, gently pressed it, and its "head" display screen also immediately lit up.

"Gawu!" Bai growled at it, as if seeing some mutated creature, filled with hostility.

"It’s okay, it’s just a robot dog, Bai, hold on." Lin Yue found that the operating system was actually in Tang Country language, not only understandable but also came with system programming functionality, exceptionally simple.

With his operation, the robot dog, which was lying on the ground, suddenly made a faint mechanical hum, and its four legs immediately stood up.

"Did it work?" Lin Yue, having set up the program, watched this high-tech device with great interest, seeing it emit a blue-white glow.
