Just replenished some meat, Bai has also recovered from the fatigue of fishing, and it fervently flapped its wings, arriving at the nitrate ore faster than before.
However, Lin Yue soon discovered some new changes here.
"Quite a few Lizardman corpses, and also some human ones..." Lin Yue looked at the edge of the fortress wall, the two machine guns of the Medium Electric Guard Machine Gun Platform still swung up, down, left, and right, seemingly tireless.
The corpses of the Lizardmen and humans lay scattered across the ground, showcasing the power of the Medium Electric Guard Machine Gun Platform.
Those corpses were right within its attack range, lying all over, Bai lowered its altitude and began circling, as waves of stench from the corpses gradually wafted over.
Putting on the gas mask, Lin Yue approached several beggar corpses and collected the Storage Space.
[You have gained 2 cubic meters of Storage Space!]
[You have gained 3 cubic meters of Storage Space!]
Lin Yue was quick, acquiring 49 cubic meters of Storage Space in one go, which contained some water and food, unexpectedly discovering 3 Shelter Design Maps!
Leaving this corpse zone, Lin Yue entered the nitrate ore from the breach, where over a dozen beggar corpses lay at the entrance.
They provided Lin Yue with 35 cubic meters of Storage Space, having turned utterly useless.
The mechanical dogs were still at work, and the five responsible for guarding dutifully patrolled around the mine.
"Gawu." Bai indicated there were no more areas with corpses, and Lin Yue stopped searching, heading directly to the underground shelter with air conditioning he set up yesterday.
Bai itself was afraid of the heat, it couldn’t constantly stay under the sun, it needed a break too.
Soon, Lin Yue brought Bai to that underground shelter, placing two pieces of sheepskin on the ground, where Bai leisurely enjoyed the 17-degree air conditioning.
Lin Yue opened the system panel and looked at the world channel.
It was evidently more chaotic in there compared to yesterday.
Indeed, with 10 units of nitrate distributed to each Refugee Village, despite the huge amount he supplied yesterday, it was only a minor fraction among the many villages, totaling less than 4000.
He estimated yesterday that the Otherworld should have over a million Refugee Villages, this 4000 was only a tiny part really.
Ore extraction was extremely limited in quantity, and he had no better way to increase it, even the mechanical dogs have their limits. The rıghtful source is 𝖓𝖔𝖛𝖊𝖑~𝖋𝖎𝖗𝖾~𝖓𝖊𝖙
However, not everything was pessimistic.
Just a dozen hours left before the disaster officially begins, surviving last night’s remaining Refugee Villages likely won’t require too much.
"The next Refugee Village will receive five units, adding that there’s just a dozen hours until the disaster starts. Ice made from five units of nitrate should suffice for this time."
Lin Yue made his decision.
He just checked the nitrate extraction situation outside, and it was less than the estimated 20,000 units, but still enough to supply about the same number of Refugee Villages as yesterday, which was the limit.
"Let’s start, and then quickly return to the shelter to check that side again, regardless of others, one’s shelter must be thoroughly prepared."
Lin Yue took a deep breath, stood up from the sofa, drank several gulps of iced tea, then donned a mountaineering hat.
This time it had to be quick, he couldn’t stay active under such high temperatures for long.
If heat stroke came, he’d truly be finished.
The biggest danger brought by high temperatures was this heat stroke.
Even in the Otherworld, lacking medical supplies, heat stroke was still lethal, let alone on Earth.
He once read an article explaining the terrifying nature of heat stroke.
Heat stroke is a severe form of heat illness occurring when the body’s regulation fails after prolonged work in high temperature and humidity, potentially keeping the internal organs at high temperatures, like being steamed, leading to convulsions and coma due to multi-organ functional impairment.
If one truly had heat stroke, it’s almost over.
The mortality rate was up to 80%, such a horrifying condition almost had no cure in the Otherworld.
This applied to others and also to him.
So, caution was crucial.
Especially before the "extreme heat disaster" hitting temperatures of 36 to 37 degrees arrives this morning.
Lin Yue equipped himself, hurried out from the underground shelter, heading straight to the nearest nitrate ore pyramid, and quickly filled his Storage Space with those nitrate ores.
Next, he immediately returned to the underground shelter and listed all the nitrate on the World Trade Mall.
This action, even before he could have Xing Lingfeng announce it on the world channel, was quickly noticed by many, who promptly made offers.
"Why has Lin Yue changed it to 5 units of nitrate this time? Half the quantity but wanting to trade for the same gains as yesterday? Is this price gouging?"
"Are you causing trouble? Yesterday was 10 units because it was yesterday, there’re just a dozen hours before the disaster now, why need 10 units of nitrate? Save to eat them?"
