Chapter 451: Chapter 451

The dangers brought by high temperatures have already caused heatstroke among the survivors, forcing the Lizardmen and beggars to leave the underground ruins.

The disaster of extreme heat, even appearing alone, can be incredibly lethal.

Now, some survivors’ refugee villages have used his nitrate ore and should be able to safely endure this major disaster, as long as no unexpected events occur.

However, the vast majority still need to use other methods, otherwise, it would truly be fatal.

Even just one instance of extreme heat is ; it should be noted that this time it’s a triple disaster.

Yet, until now, no one knows how large the giant hail will be or how terrifying the fire tornadoes will be.

However, Lin Yue has a preliminary judgment about what this disaster system wants to test.

Each disaster tests the survivors, and each disaster tests completely different aspects.

The first disaster’s snowstorm tested the survivors’ ability to gather food, even heating didn’t need to be overly considered; under the snow bed formed by the blizzard, maintaining temperature wasn’t really that difficult.

The second earthquake disaster tested the survivors’ recognition of the importance of shelters; if a shelter is not large enough, they just need to reinforce it to withstand strong earthquakes, or they can choose to survive in the wild, facing the disaster alone.

The third acid rain flood and the fourth hurricane thunderstorm followed similar patterns.

The disasters were not meant to be instantly fatal or to eliminate more than half of the existing survivors; their fundamental purpose was to "screen" strong humans.

Lin Yue believes that now, having been in the Otherworld for more than a month, the so-called triple disaster is actually testing the survivors—or humanity’s—multifaceted abilities.

If they had acquired electrical appliances early, successfully entered the electrical era, and found air conditioners—relatively easy to find in the Otherworld—enduring this extreme heat disaster wouldn’t be difficult.

Various metals found in the Secret Realm could fortify shelters and buildings to withstand the invasion of hail and fire tornadoes.

Provided that the survivors indeed have the ability to search for resources and make use of the Secret Realm, currently the largest resource treasure trove.

Of course, the same applies to the beggars, who can’t stay underground anymore, forcing them to change.

But as it appears, the beggars haven’t met the system’s "requirements"; so far, there shouldn’t be many refugee villages with electricity, perhaps even very few, not to mention those equipped with cooling and heat resistance equipment.

Survivors enduring extreme heat with sheer willpower likely won’t feel too comfortable, as giant hail and fire tornadoes await, though the sequence of events is unknown.

Everything will be revealed in over thirty hours.

Lamb and ribs were being slowly roasted, and Lin Yue found Little Meng, Little Liuzi, and Red Thread joining Bai in roasting meat.

After marinating all the food, Lin Yue could rest for a while. Chapters fırst released on 𝗻𝗼𝘃𝗲𝗹✶𝗳𝗶𝗿𝗲✶𝗻𝗲𝘁

However, he didn’t rest long before heading outside, reinforcing various buildings with a large amount of alloy, whether covering the greenhouse with stone walls or securing the garage holding the intercontinental missile launcher and Katyusha launchers and the above-ground parts of the underground shelter storing gasoline.

Any minor oversight could lead to unbearable consequences.

The most terrifying aspect of disasters is their ability to easily destroy painstakingly built buildings and equipment; if there was nothing, there wouldn’t be much concern about hail or fire tornadoes, just hiding in a basement with cooling conditions and ability is enough to endure the disaster.

This is precisely the crucial point of the system’s release of the triple disaster.

After more than thirty days, almost all survivors have formed large and small refugee villages; facilities gradually emerge and will increase over time.

Just like the greenhouse, Lin Yue believes he’s not the only one with it, but during this disaster, when various resources can’t protect buildings and facilities, the disaster’s impact becomes apparent.

Originally, Earth’s disasters were similar.

In the face of increasingly advanced Earth technology, disasters’ harm to human life is far less than it was in ancient times; it affects properties, or broadly speaking, it impacts buildings, infrastructure, and crops.

Lin Yue remembers hearing about billions in losses during such disasters, representing the minimum value considered for post-disaster reconstruction.

Now, it’s the same in this Otherworld.

More infrastructure, more crops planted, more buildings mean greater harm from this disaster.

It’s not hard to imagine how many developed refugee villages will have to start anew, how many will collapse due to this disaster.

"That’s why there’s a need to reinforce buildings."

Lin Yue arrived at the previously built medium warehouse, continuously storing a large amount of resources into the Storage Space, then moving them into a large warehouse.

After a few trips, everything in the medium warehouse had been moved out, leaving only a few old cars.

Lin Yue used the High-Precision Research Workstation to dismantle the medium warehouses into raw materials, then built four large warehouses underground.

Lin Yue didn’t think much about what to put in these four large warehouses; the previous ones still had a lot of space, but he built them first to deal with things later.

These connected large warehouses weren’t standalone buildings; Lin Yue linked them to the Little Ice Lizard’s rooms for convenient access later.

After inspecting the buildings to confirm no omissions, he returned to Bai and them to continue cooking.

Although he considered visiting the Secret Realm or the Natural Sulfur Ore Mountain in the morning, Lin Yue now felt no desire to do so after completing a lot of tasks.

With the disaster arriving tomorrow, he’s done all he can.

The shelter’s side won’t need any more consideration, even facing watermelon-sized hail—if such extreme hail would indeed occur—he wouldn’t worry, as the shelter’s side is sturdy enough.

Extremely sturdy alloys enveloping the main shelter and other buildings will withstand the disaster, no matter its form.

Next, he’ll visit Belger Mine tomorrow to retrieve the machine dog, then handle nitrate ore at the nitrate ore site; the machine dog will be housed in the shelter, then it’s free time.

Indeed, as long as there are no Lizardmen or beggars, the planned schedule can proceed smoothly and reach completion; having spent the afternoon cooking, enjoying relatively leisurely time is truly a relief compared to his prior battle-focused struggles.

Quickly, the sky darkened.

After dusk comes an endless night.

Lin Yue constructed a platform at one corner of the wall, installed a medium electric guard machine gun platform, and succeeded in testing it; he realized there was nothing more to do.

If possible, a good, uninterrupted sleep was the best reward he could pursue now.

In the bedroom, Lin Yue turned off the lights early, while Bai followed and lay quietly on the sheepskin mat.

Little Meng and the others remained engrossed with the giant pool, playing with nearly five hundred Little Ice Lizards.

The thirty-third day of the apocalypse passes in the Otherworld.

On the morning of the thirty-fourth day, everyone awake again saw the world leaderboard’s reigning champion; still that person!

Moreover, the score’s lead was unimaginably vast!
