Outside, there are mountains, grasslands, deserts, and also basins and valleys, countless creatures survive here, and there are billions of humans living as well.
If all the humans in the world were concentrated in this narrow "time zone" range, then this Otherworld indeed is immensely vast.
One could even say, it is ridiculously huge!
"Wait, if it’s , the surface of the Otherworld is very large, and its volume is also large, naturally, the weight of this planet should be immense, then how can gravity maintain a one-to-one ratio with Earth’s? This isn’t normal..."
Lin Yue, the more he thinks about it, the more he feels an inexplicable terror.
What hadn’t been given much attention before seems to have been deduced just with a slight thought, leading to so many conclusions.
Moreover, these conclusions seem to make everything fall once again into deeper mystery.
Lin Yue walked over to the window, peering through the gaps between the wings of swarms of moth-like flying insects gathered at the window, looking out at the dual full moons suspended high in the sky.
System, what on earth is this entity?
Everyone can see this virtual thing suspended right before their sight, it takes just concentrated thought to do so.
And the various functions this system provides are so miraculous, even exceeding Earth’s original technology by several degrees.
The so-called "Survivor Game" even seems like some people in an enormous coliseum, watching over seven billion people struggle inside!
The humans bestowed the system, amid arduous survival, also encounter friendship, betrayal, mutual attacks, suspicion, looting, and accumulating wealth...
This is like a massive game box garden, with humanity merely being the players’ pieces.
Lin Yue knows, as the most special one within this box garden, he might have already been noticed.
On the premise, that there really is such a box garden.
He stared intently at one of the moons, observing the crater-filled surface.
Suddenly, he was startled.
"This shape... resembles the real Moon."
Staring at the crater that seems so familiar, Lin Yue fixated on that moon, involuntarily recalling that lonely celestial body next to Earth, somewhere in the vast universe.
Although they are all called "moons," what floats above this so-called Otherworld are two "satellites," yet after staying on Earth for so long, this ornament in the Otherworld’s night sky, akin to a jade plate, is also referred to as "moon."
In the Lizardmen’s murals, these two moons are also important supporting roles.
According to the mural content, the Storm Flying Lizard came from the direction of that moon, specifically the one Lin Yue is staring at on the left.
And the Lizardmen, they seem to venerate the moon.
However, this moon...
The more Lin Yue looked, the more alarmed he felt.
Why does this crater’s shape match so perfectly with the one on Earth in memory?
Lin Yue discovered that the longer he stayed in this Otherworld, the more questions and mysteries emerged.
A multitude of irrational, even utterly unscientific events have conjoined, ultimately creating this world, this so-called survival game.
How could Earth’s humans all be collectively sent here? How could they be sent in batches?
Where were those later sent, those children, elderly, and mobility-impaired people placed before the disaster?
Once a question arises, it’s hardly ever singular, a chain of questions and mysteries makes Lin Yue feel that the ultimate truth of this world might just be the word "mystery."
Lin Yue decided to cease contemplating.
Even with thought, all he could muster now were mere hypotheses, nothing more.
Turning back, he still has to keep opening the Copper Treasure Chests.
There’s still plenty of time, and without opening chests, he truly has no idea what else to do.
Plus, there are two hundred of them, if he doesn’t open them all, next time they pile up, procrastination might strike, and it could be hundreds or even thousands.
Once a treasure chest is opened, it disappears.
Lin Yue placed a hundred Copper Treasure Chests in the living room, just as he was about to open them one by one, he suddenly heard a commotion from the basement.
Running straight down the stairs, Lin Yue found that Meng had returned.
"Meng!" Lin Yue saw Meng covered in blood, and the Little Ice Lizards by its side also severely wounded, gasping in shock!
Upstairs came a hurried noise, Bai also rushed to the basement, having smelled the scent of blood!
Meng lay dying on the ground, Lin Yue hastily took out water to wash it, only to discover its entire body was a grayish-black color, with a piercing wound on its neck, and it had numerous puncture wounds on its left front and hind legs!
Even, a large swath of scales on its back seemed to have been scraped off by something, continuously oozing blood!
Lin Yue took out small, medium, and large emergency medical kits from the warehouse.
Meng was now weak to the extreme, and the ten Little Ice Lizards that followed it were hardly better!
Lin Yue could distinctly smell from Meng and the others a special lingering scent of gunpowder.
Perhaps, they were suddenly attacked by the Lizardmen in the Underground Ruins, and the Lizardmen used gunpowder to fight against them.
