At this moment, Lin Yue is in the basement of his shelter, standing in front of the stone gate leading to Zone C2 of the underground ruins, sealed by the iron block wall, and he finds Bai’s gaze somewhat peculiar.
What’s the situation?
Do they want me to open the door? But it doesn’t seem like we’re preparing for a fight.
"Gawu." Bai’s large paws keep scraping at the iron wall, and the Little Ice Lizards are also tapping the iron wall with their little claws, gesturing for Lin Yue to remove the obstruction quickly.
Lin Yue thought for a moment, first heading to the warehouse to store a large amount of supplies, then quickly returning.
He donned the Celestial Dragon Armor and Celestial Dragon Battle Helmet, and picked up his MP5 Submachine Gun.
Although Zone D2 of the underground ruins had been cleared by him before, even sealed with thicker iron walls leading to zones other than Zone C, it’s better to be cautious.
"Xiao Liuzi, you and Bai will come with me. Red Line, you lead the others to wait in the shelter, we can’t have too many people go at once, understood?"
If everyone goes, the shelter would be like an empty building, with no defense at all, which is absolutely unacceptable.
Even though the Lizardmen haven’t emerged since the giant creature, Lin Yue still thinks caution is necessary.
The Little Ice Lizards are quite adept at dealing with Lizardmen, especially at night, where their speed and ability to delve underground can give Lizardmen a heavy blow.
After leaving some food and water for the remaining Little Ice Lizards, Lin Yue quickly stored the iron wall in the Storage Space.
Almost simultaneously, a surge of hot air suddenly rushed out from inside! Original content can be found at novel fire.net
What’s going on? The door had been opened? And this heat...
Lin Yue could feel that this temperature seemed not much different from outside, and in this nearly enclosed underground ruin, the heat made it hard to breathe.
Lin Yue was puzzled; shouldn’t it be cool underground? Even if it’s not so cool, it shouldn’t be this hot.
But this temperature was indeed hard to adapt to; staying inside seems even less comfortable than being out on the desert, practically impossible to endure.
Feeling the streams of hot air, Lin Yue looked at Bai and Xiao Liuzi; did they sense the stone gate being pulled open from the inside, and that’s why they’re eager to enter?
However, at this moment, he noticed something easily overlooked.
Given how unbearable it is underground, the Lizardmen and beggars couldn’t continue staying here; the mutated creatures inside would be the same. He didn’t believe the Lizardmen and beggars could withstand this heat!
That’s to say... could they rush collectively to the surface?
Through various passages, or through such underground ruins stone gates?!
With this doubt, Lin Yue looked at Bai and the others, but did not receive any alert of impending enemy attack from them.
"You both get ready to fight; we can’t be careless."
"Gawu." Bai swiftly rushed ahead, and Lin Yue quickly followed with Xiao Liuzi on his shoulder, the air was filled with an indescribable stench aside from the heat.
Lin Yue didn’t forget to use the iron block wall to seal the door, as a precaution, safety remains paramount.
But not far ahead, Lin Yue saw several Lizardmen corpses lying in the middle of the passage, dead miserably, blood everywhere, it seems they were the ones who opened the door...
Checking them, Lin Yue found a big chunk of flesh bitten off their necks, likely the cause of death.
This wound was quite familiar to Lin Yue.
So far, only one type of creature could inflict such wounds on the Lizardmen.
But wasn’t the Ice Lizard Cave supposed to be in Zone C? How did they get to Zone C2?
Lin Yue was puzzled, having clearly sealed the passage between Zone C2 and Zone C1 earlier; how did the Little Ice Lizards from the Ice Lizard Cave get here? Is there another passage?
But another passage should have been blocked by him too.
"Bai, was this done by the Little Ice Lizards?"
"Gawu." Bai nodded immediately, but then looked forward, appearing very anxious.
Lin Yue pondered, looks like the Ice Lizards truly came over.
Bai was swift, and Lin Yue quickly chased after, weaving through the underground ruins’ passages, stopping at the passage sealed with iron block walls leading to other areas.
"Bai, wait." Lin Yue walked over, seeing the place supposedly intact and blocked by the wall, had quite a few stones and dust.
The flashlight beam shone over, and he suddenly noticed the place supposedly sealed tight had a new gap near the stone wall!
"This is..." Lin Yue examined the empty space, finding it’s just big enough for a human of ordinary size to pass through.
"Were the Little Ice Lizards responsible for this?"
But Bai shook its head and pointed at him, seemingly describing something.
"Do you mean it was humans?" Lin Yue suddenly felt things might not be simple.
