Moss continued to stretch underfoot, in the mist-filled space, amid the cracked and shattered roads, hundreds of cars were jammed together, most reduced to black shells.
Some of them still retained a dirt-yellow tint from before time aged them, with a worn-out sign on the roof and some black lettering on the door.
"TAXI... Taxis, huh. This should be a city in either Europe or the United States?"
Lin Yue looked at the outlines of tall buildings shrouded in thick fog on both sides of the road, speculating about the specific location of this special Secret Realm.
The special Ancient Secret Realm Gates always lead to places extremely rich in resources, whether it was that island before or later in Paris, it was the same.
He had garnered quite a lot of resources in the last two adventures, and this time, it seemed not bad either.
At least these taxis in front of him could provide quite a lot of resources.
"Car shells should count as alloy, right? Though each one yields little, dismantling all these hundreds of cars should yield a sizeable amount?" Lin Yue took out a High-Precision Research Workstation from his Storage Space, ready to get to work. New ɴᴏᴠᴇʟ ᴄhapters are published on N0v3l.Fiɾe.net
"Gawu?" Bai looked around, thinking the master would explore a bit before starting to gather materials. Yet, the moment they stepped out, work was already underway?
"Bai, why are we here? We’re not here for sightseeing. Gathering as much stuff as we can and taking it back is the main point." Lin Yue positioned the workstation next to a "car" burnt down to its framework, obtaining a unit of aluminum alloy and some steel.
The work progressed methodically, and as the frameworks of all types of cars in front of him dwindled, the piles of aluminum alloy and steel in front of him grew larger and larger.
However, with a Storage Space volume as large as 824 cubic meters, this amount was no challenge at all.
Especially as cars, once disassembled into parts and stripped of unwanted large scraps, took up much less space. Lin Yue found that after fully dismantling these burnt-down cars and taxis, his Storage Space still had about half its capacity left.
units of aluminum alloy, 43 units of steel, and as for fiberglass and various components, they occupied more than 230 cubic meters of Storage Space.
"Indeed, with the Storage Space expanded, collecting these materials doesn’t require worrying about having to return frequently."
Looking at the assorted trash on the avenue, Lin Yue began the next action.
Collect the road surface!
The materials for road repair shouldn’t always rely on Fei Yue’s collection. Having come to this seemingly large city, with asphalt roads everywhere, Lin Yue thought it a waste not to seize this opportunity.
There was plenty of Storage Space left; how could he not gather more road surfaces?
Moreover, wasn’t it close to the Ancient Secret Realm Gate?
Lin Yue quickly started shoveling the road surfaces; large cities, besides skyscrapers, had plenty of this!
The fog never cleared, just like in the first city he visited, spiraling a dozen meters in the air, encircling the ground and surroundings ten meters away.
Once he walked over, the fog would disperse with the flowing air, drifting apart.
While shoveling the road surface, Lin Yue continuously glanced at the surrounding skyscrapers with barely any intact glass, as well as rusted traffic lights and fire hydrants, whose red paint was mostly peeled off.
From the density of the buildings, this place seemed to be quite developed, but the state of the roads was somewhat subpar.
Lin Yue paused occasionally, walking with Bai to the roadside shops for a closer look.
Bai also indicated that there were quite a few monsters inside these buildings, but since they hadn’t gone in, the monsters hadn’t come out to attack them.
"Bai, let’s not bother with those for now and first collect the road surface and crashed cars. We’ll explore those later." Lin Yue reassured Bai, who seemed eager to venture inside and teach those monsters a lesson.
This little fellow’s desire to fight today was quite robust, as if yesterday’s fatigue never existed.
Lin Yue transformed the traffic lights, fire hydrants, and some railings along the roadside into raw materials, then gathered and stored them in the Storage Space, once again collecting the last bits of asphalt road.
An 824 cubic-meter Storage Space isn’t exactly small, but it doesn’t seem that large either.
Especially in such a resource-rich setting, after collecting a few hundred large chunks of pavement and several hundred car frames and scrap parts, this 824 cubic meters was finally completely full.
Clearly, this time he hadn’t brought along many other items, not even an abundance of food and water, only enough for five or six days, and the weapons were just the usual ones he always carried.
Yet, it didn’t take long for this 824 cubic meters to fill up.
"The bigger the desire, the quicker it fills up; wanting to put everything inside truly feels like hamster syndrome."
Lin Yue had Bai stay near the door, then turned to push the door open back to the Shelter side, and in the shortest possible time, established six medium-sized warehouses in the yard, dumping all the gathered items inside.
He then quickly returned to the special Secret Realm.
The collection of asphalt road surfaces needed to continue, and various items still needed to be collected.
However, this time another focus was on searching places that seemed like malls or banks.
