Chapter 447: Chapter 447
[You’ve built a large warehouse X1]
[You’ve built a large warehouse X1]
Can’t deny, in the high temperature, the desperate Survivors are extremely eager and enthusiastic.
It took less than two hours, all of the nearly forty thousand units of nitrate accumulated over the past two days at the Nitrates Mine have been completely exchanged.
And with the arrival of alloy, various electrical appliances, and parts in exchange, Lin Yue also had to spend some alloys and stones to start building six large warehouses near the walls on the outskirts of the Nitrates Mine.
The large warehouse is spacious, the Storage Space is enough to accommodate the influx of large quantities of goods.
Lin Yue actually didn’t have time to scrutinize how much alloy there was, what old electrical appliances there were, or what parts there were; as long as the transaction was successful, filling the Storage Space, he would dump all the exchanged items into the warehouse, then continue to confirm the next transaction.
In a little over two hours, Lin Yue felt his efficiency was fast enough, otherwise the nearly forty thousand units of nitrate would need more time to be fully traded.
Now, at the Nitrates Mine, the machine dogs are still working hard, and the nitrates continue to pile up uninterrupted.
But these quantities are still far from being able to supply all the Refugee Villages.
Lin Yue really couldn’t guarantee this, he’s not a god, being able to achieve this much is quite remarkable.
Originally, he wasn’t the so-called "Savior" of these people, unable to help everyone.
The saying "the greater the ability, the greater the responsibility," Lin Yue actually doesn’t agree with it.
His ability is not enough to provide nitrate for over two billion people, nor is there a need to do so, even if someone tries to morally coerce him, he absolutely won’t let himself be troubled by so-called public pressure, or any condemning language violence.
What I’ve done so far, to the extent I’ve reached now, frankly speaking, is my own willingness, is what I want to do, and doing so doesn’t harm me, instead it allows me to obtain a large amount of necessary resources, additionally consuming a sizable amount of endless nitrate ore that I couldn’t use.
In other words, what Lin Yue is doing now is still based on his own self-interest.
He’s not a superhero, he can’t achieve so-called selflessness, nor can he disregard personal gains and losses, then perform those actions only worthy of a "false reputation."
Selfish? Lin Yue doesn’t deny he is a selfish person. ʀᴇᴀᴅ ʟᴀᴛᴇsᴛ ᴄʜᴀᴘᴛᴇʀs ᴀᴛ 𝓷𝓸𝓿𝓮𝓵✦𝕗𝕚𝕣𝕖✦𝙣𝙚𝙩
In this Otherworld, perhaps people who are not a bit selfish have already perished.
The ones remaining are all selfish like him, and those who believe people with ability must sacrifice for others without counting the gains and losses.
This mindset unknowingly grew through the subtle influences of Lin Yue’s upbringing and through experiences and encounters from childhood to adulthood.
Though he also believes in the inherent goodness of humanity, unfortunately, in this Otherworld, such ideas seem really quite comical.
From the initial wandering Survivors, raiders, to the later beggars, even after more than a month, the still utterly loose Refugee Villages, all made Lin Yue unable to believe he can witness true goodness and beauty in the short term.
Of course, if Fei Yue can maintain the intimate alliance with him as it is now, and continue in the future, then maybe they are the light breaking through the utterly pitch-black night.
"Almost enough. There is no more nitrate, I’ll have to come over here again around tomorrow evening."
Lin Yue tidied up a bit and securely locked and fortified the only exit of the six large warehouses.
Then, he set six machine dogs to defense mode, refilled ammo in their magazines, and fixed patrol routes, ensuring no interference with other machine dogs when mining ore.
From today to the time before he returns tomorrow evening, anything could happen here.
Lin Yue isn’t the only one who knows about this Nitrates Mine; there are also the Lizardmen and beggars he chased away from here.
And just now, he shook the entire market with a large amount of nitrate ore, forcing the solo sellers of nitrate ore to swallow the bitter fruit of neglect.
How could they willingly quit?
Lin Yue believes that as soon as tonight, there might be a coalition of Lizardmen and beggars trying again to reclaim the nitrates mine.
However, even so, he wouldn’t have any fear.
Will this place be lost?
Is the Medium Electric Guard Machine Gun Platform just for show? All those machine dogs are "armed," right?
Even if it’s truly lost, Lin Yue can ensure that when he returns tomorrow, he’ll reclaim this place!
Lin Yue took away a large batch of miscellaneous parts, then turned back once again to gaze at the nitrate mountains accumulating once more, took out the Armed Combat Vehicle, and drove it swiftly on the stone road towards the Shelter.
The time is just noon, and there’s still a lot to do.
Not much time until the disaster that will be revealed tomorrow night.
He must seize this last period, upgrade and reinforce the other buildings of the shelter again, then properly face this disaster!
