Global Wasteland: I Obtained A Top Tier Shelter-Chapter 50: Great Harvest! Crisis Emerges?
Chapter 50: Chapter 50: Great Harvest! Crisis Emerges?
Initially, when he saw the strange, heavy door not far behind the front desk, he didn’t think much of it.
But after pushing it open, discovering the downward staircase, and going all the way down, what Lin Yue saw in the torchlight was not only shocking but brought more joy to him.
"It’s actually... a wine cellar? Goodness, a red wine cellar!"
The dusty wine racks nearly filled this space of about four to five hundred square meters, and on the racks, there were countless bottles of red wine.
Even more astonishing was the number of oak barrels piled up in the corner!
Lin Yue smelled the faint scent of wine in the air and immediately extinguished his torch.
If a lot of wine had broken, he could easily have been finished here.
However, who would have thought there would be such a large wine cellar in the basement, not far behind the front desk?
Lin Yue groped along the walls in the wine cellar for half a circle and found a room with the door open, from which a faint light was emanating.
As he continued inside, he quickly discovered a sturdy ladder. He climbed up and pushed open the light-emitting panel above to find himself in the hotel’s back kitchen.
The kitchen had a strange stench, with nothing left behind. Upon pushing open the back kitchen door again, he found himself behind the hotel.
Tall weeds, as high as a person, completely obscured his vision. Bai did not react; it seemed there was no danger here.
Understanding the layout, Lin Yue realized why, even with leaking red wine in the cellar, there wasn’t much of a wine scent.
If not for this, the last thing he would have seen with the torch in hand might well have been a burst of flame.
Lin Yue once again confirmed his need for a flashlight, but all he had were plans for a flashlight that required many materials to make, and an almost completely unusable one.
On his way back, he would see if he could gather some materials for this task, which was urgently needed.
He returned to the wine cellar and, under the faint light, approached the wine rack closest to him.
He picked up a bottle of wine, feeling the weight of the bottle, his excitement undiminished.
He had gained quite a lot on this trip.
This substance was just a drinkable liquid.
Yet, after decades of fermentation, it possessed some luxury attributes.
In the resource-scarce Otherworld, this should be as good a hard currency as paper was, right?
[You have obtained Wine X1]
[You have obtained ...]
Lin Yue decided to first transport some back, then come and move a little more over the next couple of days.
Unfortunately, the storage space was only 4 cubic meters, so even if Lin Yue wanted to take more, there wasn’t much he could do.
If this were the previous inventory, Lin Yue was almost a hundred percent sure he could empty this place all at once!
"Squeak!" At this moment, Bai suddenly let out an alert noise, and as he was checking the big hole, he immediately stopped his actions.
"Squeak!" Bai lightly called out, seemingly reminding Lin Yue to remain silent.
He immediately crouched down, touched Bai, and then picked up the Iron Spear with his right hand again.
In the near-complete darkness and silence, Lin Yue suddenly heard something.
The noise was mixed, with multiple things colliding, but he still picked out the sound of people talking!
The wine cellar door was open, and the echoes from not far from the front hall were transmitted over here.
Lin Yue took a deep breath, recognizing that this sound was likely still quite some distance away.
Someone is coming?
Moreover, from the sound of it, it seemed to be a group!
Someone ended up here? What are the odds, how can someone still bump into each other in this Secret Realm? It’s absurd.
What should be done next?
Come out straightforwardly and say hello to this group, saying "Hi, isn’t the weather nice today, sunny and pleasant?"
hhhhhc.
It would take a really foolish person to do such a thing.
After everyone globally was transported to the Otherworld, there was simply no concept of "law" or restraint by "humanity". The reason nothing horrific or bloody has been heard of so far is due to the system grouping everyone into clusters of ten thousand people each.
The news within groups was vastly limited, to the point where no one knew how the person whose avatar had just grayed out actually died.
Without videos or images, and lacking sound in the group, many things had become opaque.
No one knows what the people with real avatars in the group originally did or what kind of person they were.
Let alone those who appeared normal on Earth but have unleashed their inner darkness in this world, there’s no telling how many there are.
Growing up in an orphanage, Lin Yue encountered many people and saw many things.
He experienced firsthand how ugly human nature could become when not restrained by law. ƒгeewёbnovel.com
That’s why he hasn’t added any friends in this so-called "survival game" since he harbors mistrust towards everyone.
The apocalypse drives people mad!
Who knows what these people would do upon seeing him alone?
Holding Bai, Lin Yue moved quietly.
The sounds hadn’t seemed to enter the hotel yet. Those people seemed to still be outside the door.
He stood up stealthily and finally reached the side of the ladder.
Bai showed no reaction, suggesting there was no enemy here.
He took a deep breath, climbed the ladder, and quickly made his way to the door.
Bai remained unresponsive.
The back door seemed fine.
Setting Bai down, he held his shield with his left hand and the Iron Spear with his right, and after nudging the door open, he went outside.
And immediately, he heard clearly the sound of people talking.
The direction seemed to be the hotel’s front entrance!
Bai opened its mouth, making a soft "squeak," understanding too that it couldn’t make noise, but its posture already signaled a state of readiness for battle.
Lin Yue entered the tall grass, finding the ground relatively dry. He tried not to make any noise as he moved sideways towards the building.
With his movement, the voices became even clearer.
"Didn’t you see the thread disappear here? The person must have entered the hotel!" a rough voice shouted.
"Liu Fei, how are you so sure? What if they went back?" This was a woman’s voice.
"If they went back, there’s no way they’d escape. Rick and Sun Yu have already gone back along the thread to check the Shelter’s door. I’ve told them, if they find the person there, just cut off one leg. This isn’t the first time we’ve done it, they know what to do." This was a young man’s voice.
"So what now? Go inside? Regardless, the person must have been inside, otherwise, that glass wouldn’t be missing a chunk... Wait, I think I smell wine?" Liu Fei’s voice was filled with surprise and excitement.
"A wine cellar? Boss, what do we do, should we go in, or wait?" the woman asked.
"They might be in there, might not. If we’re ambushed and someone gets hurt, that wouldn’t be good. Let’s wait for Rick and Liu Yu to come back..."
Lin Yue, hidden in the tall grass, heard everything clearly.
Goodness, there were actually three people at the door?
And two others had already followed the thread back to the Shelter?
A big bold "danger" word hung in Lin Yue’s mind!
