"Black... What is this?" There was a large patch of black stuff underfoot, and even when I shone a flashlight on it, it only reflected a faint light.
After the system identified it, it immediately gave Lin Yue the answer.
It turns out it’s coal?
Wow, this is truly a new discovery!
Lin Yue took out a pickaxe and started digging. After a few strikes, the system prompted, [You’ve obtained Coal X1].
Previously, he also had some coal.
That was before the first disaster was foretold, when someone in the group mined some coal. At that time, he casually exchanged some water for it, and later used it in the fireplace when wood was scarce.
However, since then, because the weather never got cold again, he had no reason to open the fireplace, and naturally didn’t think about collecting more coal.
In this world, coal actually isn’t very useful. Without cold days, people don’t need to burn it for warmth. Only some crafting weapons in the Refugee Village might need it.
But compared to timber, coal is relatively harder to obtain, and hence quite a dilemma.
So, it’s rare to find in the trading market, and it doesn’t even exist in the Survival Points Mall.
This seems strange, yet also quite reasonable.
If something has no value, how could it be used as a currency for barter?
But for Lin Yue, it’s an incredible resource.
He also has an integrated Forging Workshop, which has always been hindered by the lack of fuel and suitable materials. The Melting Furnace, similarly due to lack of fuel, had just been a decorative piece in the yard.
Thinking about it now, if a large supply of coal is provided, could it actually work?
At this moment, a low roar sounded outside the cave, and Lin Yue immediately walked up, passing through the tunnel and returning to the desert.
Bai landed beside the mine pit, calling out to him.
"Bai, let’s hurry to... Huh? Your tail, what’s going on?"
Lin Yue suddenly noticed an arrow stuck in Bai’s tail, with traces of blood constantly seeping from it!
"Gawu..." Bai’s head turned towards the direction of the nitrate ore, and Lin Yue immediately understood.
It was attacked over there!
Unlike the smaller Little Ice Lizard, Bai’s larger size makes it easier to attack, but its speed is so fast, how could it get hit?
"Hold on, I have to pull this out for you." Lin Yue walked over and took out a toolbox from the Storage Space.
Though the toolbox doesn’t come out often, it never left his Storage Space due to its small size.
Lin Yue took out a wire saw and pliers from it, and separated the arrow shaft from the metal arrowhead almost completely embedded in the tail. Then, he took out an emergency medicine box, found a surgical knife, and slightly opened the wound, using hemostatic forceps to slowly pull the arrowhead out!
Bai kept enduring the pain, its body trembling slightly, and Lin Yue knew Bai was holding on. He wasn’t anxious but ensured safety before finally pulling the arrowhead out!
Blood started to flow immediately, but Lin Yue noticed the color of the blood seemed off?
How come it’s... black?
An ominous feeling suddenly rose in his heart!
"No way, could this arrowhead be..."
