And what followed immediately were the giant creatures, along with those Lizardmen ambushing near them.
If there is a hypothesis that can explain this series of events, it would definitely be .
The Lizardmen led a legion to besiege the Shelter last night, and the outcome was evidently a failure.
And their purpose seems to be just that.
By using a large number of corpses, they attracted the originally hidden giant creature, the Bone Worm Beast, to this side, setting up an arrangement.
Then maybe they first used some bait to attract Bai and the others from the Shelter into the Underground Ruins, taking the opportunity to hold them there.
Then, under the cover of night, they placed some corpses by the Shelter walls and smeared some blood on top, inevitably luring the giant Bone Worm Beast here.
Next, they lay ambush around the Shelter, waiting for the result of the battle between him and the Bone Worm Beast.
If he won, they would take the opportunity to steal the treasure chest.
If he lost, they would take the opportunity to capture him.
Lin Yue stood up, grabbed a cup, put in some ice cubes, added two tea bags, and poured some water.
After sipping a bit, he walked to the window.
If his conjecture was correct, then the Lizardmen really went to great lengths this time,
His combat power and weaponry had increased once again, enabling him to take down the Bone Worm Beast without needing Bai, Xiao Meng, or the Little Ice Lizards to step in.
If not for this, the Lizardmen’s plan might have indeed succeeded.
"If any link in the chain wasn’t done well, I’d have already been captured by the Lizardmen, and when I finally took down the giant creature, if not for my quick hands, the treasure chest might have been taken away... These Lizardmen, impressive."
The siege last night, the giant creature’s assault the next day, and the Lizardmen ambush; even a small mistake would have put him in a desperate situation.
The Lizardmen knew of Bai and Xiao Meng’s prowess, so they lured them away, forcing him to face the giant creature and ambush alone. It has to be said, these creatures were incredibly thorough and meticulous, or rather, those beggars used all their wit in this plan.
In the Lizardmen’s eyes, even if he ultimately defeated the giant creature, the treasure chest would be snatched away by the Lizardmen troops lying in wait underground and around.
Lin Yue pondered over these matters, taking a sip of iced tea.
A drop of sweat trickled down his forehead and dripped onto the floor.
By the way, the temperature seems to be higher than before?
He fanned himself with his hand, still feeling waves of heat pouring in from all sides.
Opening the door and stepping outside, he quickly felt the heat was much higher than before.
Isn’t today supposed to be the first day before this round of disaster?
Lin Yue looked at the sun in the sky, finding it blindingly hot.
Could this disaster involve high temperatures? Or is it just psychological?
Lin Yue returned inside, turned on the ice maker, then went to the basement, retrieved the four air conditioners and their external units he had collected earlier.
Hot? No worries, bring out the air conditioners!
The way to deal with the heat is to turn the air conditioners on full blast!
Air conditioning is indeed a marvel of human ingenuity.
As one of the greatest inventions of the electrical age, the word "air conditioning" alone evokes a sense of deep-rooted coolness.
An air-conditioned room, a cup of iced tea, a watermelon.
This is practically paradise, isn’t it!
Wiping sweat from his brow once again, Lin Yue stored the four air conditioners in the Storage Space, placing them on the first floor.
For installation... Is the system going to show up again?
[To install the air conditioner, please operate within the shelter-related interface on the system panel]
See, it appeared, just as expected.
However, he didn’t install all four air conditioners; instead, he disassembled one using the High-Precision Research Workstation to obtain the design blueprint.
Four air conditioners were clearly not enough, given their ratings, mainly two horsepower and large one horsepower units, barely enough for one room each, not more.
And the size of his Shelter... It’s really too big for just these four to handle.
Therefore, without exploring the Secret Realm or luckily stumbling upon an appliance store like last time, disassembling one was evidently the better choice.
[You have obtained the design blueprint for an air conditioner and external unit]
Lin Yue glanced at it and was surprised to find that the various components of the air conditioner were not as difficult to acquire as he imagined.
"Let me see... The piping system can be copper, fiberglass, or even various alloys? The components on the piping can be made from brass... wait, the heat exchanger fins inside the indoor and outdoor units are actually aluminum? I don’t have that, but I recall seeing it for sale in the Survival Points Mall, and the shell, internal frame, and indoor unit’s internal fixings are steel, which I have plenty of. The shell, filter grille, fan, and the like of the indoor unit are all plastic? I have plenty of plastic too."
Looking at the material requirements, Lin Yue realized that he didn’t have aluminum, but he still had some hard aluminum alloy.
"Hmm? Do I have this many survival points?"
Lin Yue glanced at his survival point balance, a bit overwhelmed.
He currently has 32,004 survival points left, having spent a lot on greenhouses yesterday and today, and yet there’s still so much remaining.
