Chapter 426: Chapter 426
Lin Yue discovered that at the place where his finger pointed, it seemed all the Little Ice Lizards had gathered and were lying on the ground, no longer chirping incessantly, but quietly waiting for him.
"Bai, I actually have an idea." Lin Yue exhaled. The temperature around didn’t feel comfortable; compared to the previous Ice Lizard Cave, it felt much hotter.
The place that once felt quite cold now didn’t feel very comfortable anymore.
"Gawu." Bai nodded at this moment, suddenly pointing around with its arm, then looking at the Little Ice Lizards, pointing at the top of its head again, and gently "gawu"-ed again, as if requesting something.
Lin Yue suddenly understood that what Bai wanted to say seemed to be the same as what he was thinking.
"Are you saying you want to take all these Little Ice Lizards back to the Shelter?"
Lin Yue stated the answer, and Bai seemed equally excited, nodding its head, and spreading out its broad wings.
During this time, the Little Ice Lizards had remained silent, quietly waiting for Lin Yue’s response. This update is available on novel•fire.net
"That’s exactly what I want to do, Bai."
As Lin Yue finished speaking, Bai suddenly roared loudly, and the Little Ice Lizards also stood up on their hind legs, collectively shouting "Puchi"!
Impressive, the intelligence of these creatures should not be underestimated.
They seem much smarter than animals like cats and dogs!
"Bai, I can take them, but they must listen obediently afterwards, and you’ll have to take responsibility for teaching them how to do things correctly. Understand?"
Lin Yue indeed intended to take all the Little Ice Lizards away from here. After all, currently, apart from being able to somewhat trust Fei Yue, he had minimal interactions with others. Due to this 100% treasure box system, he could not get too close to anyone, and thus could not gather people like other Refugee Villages to become their leader.
Thus, he could only station some imperfect robot dogs at those mines, unable to completely ensure the safety of the mine points or other shelters.
However, if he had companions like Bai and Xiaomeng who could follow even complex orders and had strong combat power, then these issues would not be a problem.
In fact, he could open more mines, seek farther locations, and explore more unknowns!
Bai and the Little Ice Lizards all made promises; they indeed seemed unwilling to continue living here.
Lin Yue took out a thermometer from the Storage Space.
After a while, it finally showed thirty degrees.
It’s important to know, this was underground during the night; such a high temperature meant the Little Ice Lizards probably had to soak in water to lower their body temperatures.
They were creatures that liked cool places and could not adapt to the increasing heat underground.
"Bai, Xiaoliuzi, you two take all of the Little Ice Lizards and leave this place first, heading in the direction of the Shelter. I’ll catch up soon!"
As long as there’s food and water prepared, they wouldn’t even need much care; just leave them a comfortable place to rest, and they could hunt mutant creatures for food themselves.
As for food, he had plenty in stock right now; according to the system, there were no problems for five years.
Once the cold storage facilities were built, he could store even more food.
And concerning the Ice Lizards’ favorite water, wasn’t there plenty here?
Listening to the continuous rushing sound of the underground river, Lin Yue had a plan in mind.
Bai and Xiaoliuzi each growled lowly, then led a massive dark crowd, hundreds of Little Ice Lizards, out of the Ice Lizard Cave.
Lin Yue meanwhile went to the underground river, confirmed there were no foreign objects, then quickly filled all his Storage Space with water and hurriedly caught up with Bai and the others, returning to the Shelter.
The Little Ice Lizards in the Shelter seemed extremely pleased to see Lin Yue return with their kin, and the living room, set at 17 degrees by air conditioning, was quickly occupied by the little Ice Lizards, who were almost dazed by the heat.
"How many are there...?" Lin Yue, although having a rough idea of the Little Ice Lizards’ numbers before, never imagined that their numbers were enough to fill this huge living room.
Lin Yue ordered Bai to have the Little Ice Lizards stay still as he began counting one by one.
"...489, 490, 491? My goodness, how could there be so many!" The sheer number of Little Ice Lizards truly shocked Lin Yue; such a large number?
Originally he thought there might be two or three hundred, but it went straight to five hundred.
"Gawu." Bai looked at its master, clearly aware that such a number was not easy to handle.
In the coming days, housing, food and water, and even other various issues would all need to be faced one by one, full of challenges.
Lin Yue could see Bai was very concerned about these Little Ice Lizards, but he was not worried at all.
Housing? He had so many Shelter Design Maps in hand that it was even nauseating.
Food and water were not an issue at all; Lin Yue even thought these little guys might effectively solve some food preservation problems, as they could eat even stale bread with great enthusiasm, so other foods shouldn’t be a problem either.
As long as it’s not spicy, they’re fine.
