Global Wasteland: I Obtained A Top Tier Shelter-Chapter 776 - 510: Ashes

It was the first time Lin Yue felt that things were getting serious.

He thought of everything yesterday, but ended up forgetting about the Petroleum River Base among the four sub-bases.

Oil is different; its flammability is absurdly terrifying.

If last night’s storm and fire were of such magnitude, perhaps... that place might have become hell.

And, that’s not all.

The losses to the elevated bridges and tracks of the mid- and short-range rail outside the shelter are still completely unpredictable.

"Bai, come with me to the Petroleum River Sub-Base first to check the losses over there!"

Lin Yue turned to the other Little Ice Lizards and issued commands.

"Meng, lead a hundred Little Ice Lizards to stand by at the Gate of Exploration; Liu Zi, take a hundred Little Ice Lizards to stand by at the Underground Ruins Ancient Gate; Heidian, bring a hundred Little Ice Lizards to the Special Underground Ruins Ancient Gate; Red Claw, lead a hundred Little Ice Lizards to stand by at the Secret Realm Gate; Green Claw, take a hundred Little Ice Lizards to the Special Ancient Secret Realm Gate to stand by! Remember, guard the gate and prevent any mutated creatures or monsters from passing through. Dismissed!"

After giving the orders, Lin Yue took Bai, and they took the elevator downstairs, then quickly rushed out the door.

A burnt smell instantly overwhelmed his senses.

"Last night... how long did this burn?" Looking up at the thick, rolling black clouds overhead, Lin Yue felt that yesterday’s disaster was indeed serious.

Oxygen enrichment made the grasslands lush, but drought caused the connected grasslands to lose all defense capability, and the wildfire from who knows where set the entire grassland ablaze, making the parched grassland the perfect fuel.

As a result, the entire Otherworld was engulfed by this fire...

"Master, this doesn’t look good," Bai said, looking at the ominous sky, seemingly more worried than Lin Yue.

"I can see that, but the real test may just be starting." Lin Yue donned the Super Alloy Flying Armor, checked his equipment, and ignited, flying into the air. "Bai, wait for me, I’ll be right back, or you can go check the Petroleum River Base first."

Speaking, Lin Yue flew east and quickly arrived near the tracks.

Inside the shelter’s walls, nothing had happened. The fire driven by the wind was unable to cross a hundred meters to reach the station.

Lin Yue saw Bai flying directly towards the Petroleum River Base; he circled above the shelter to confirm there were no damages before reducing altitude and flying east along the elevated tracks.

Soon, amidst the ocean of black grass ash, Lin Yue saw the elevated bridge extending eastwards like a sea-crossing bridge.

"It’s not affected at all." Lin Yue observed the tracks carefully, finding little melting or damage.

He removed damaged tracks along the way, fabricated new ones, and replaced them.

The elevated bridge turned black from the flames, but its structure was unharmed.

Lin Yue checked along, even flying to the nitrate ore area, discovering no damage there either, and felt relieved.

However, the water in Lake Belger had completely dried up, revealing a massive pit and a spot that seemed like an underground water seepage point.

Lin Yue noticed the Blind Hunter Fish were nowhere in sight, perhaps having retreated to the underground river.

It seems hunting them for canned fish will have to wait.

"The machine dogs at the nitrate ore... all wiped out, that’s disappointing."

Lin Yue regrettably saw that the machine dogs had collapsed on the ground for some unknown reason, completely motionless.

He landed and inspected them, finding either wear and tear or damage to their parts.

"Was it caused by overheating?" Lin Yue, unfamiliar with such matters, could only speculate.

Being exposed, temperatures must be somewhat high; thus, Lin Yue could only guess.

After collecting and disassembling the machine dogs into components, Lin Yue further broke down the damaged parts into blueprints and fabricated twenty new machine dogs, assigning them to guard rather than mine at the nitrate ore.

After all, there are alternatives to mining for now; machine dogs don’t need to mine temporarily.

Setting up the machine dogs’ programs, Lin Yue took off again, flying diagonally towards the Petroleum River Base.

He looked down repeatedly; the original vegetation had vanished into patches of black ash.

Upon arrival, Lin Yue saw the outer walls of the Petroleum River Base from afar, confirmed no damage, and felt a sense of relief.

Bai stood on the wall waiting for Lin Yue’s arrival, surprised upon seeing the distant black dot rapidly approaching.

"Master’s flying armor is getting stronger."

Bai remembered that initially Lin Yue could only move using its back or be carried by its arms to fly or reach distant places.
