Beneath the gentle morning sunlight, Lin Yue was like an emotionless collecting machine, continuously storing everything he saw into his Storage Space.

As long as he could fit it.

[The Storage Space has no additional space left.]

Finally, with a system prompt, the frenzied Lin Yue finally stopped.

"73 cubic meters, still not quite enough." Lin Yue muttered to himself, whistling up at the sky.

A huge set of wings unfurled, and like a dark cloud covering a small patch of sky, Bai attracted quite a few Storm Flying Lizards, which Lin Yue used to call Monster Winged Dragons.

Lin Yue expertly mounted Bai’s back, becoming a gust of wind, taking off instantly from the ground, leading the mindless monsters, heading toward the Ancient Secret Realm Gate.

Taking them down would definitely yield Copper Treasure Chests.

The premise was to lure them to the other side of the Ancient Secret Realm Gate — the Otherworld.

After discovering this secret last time by taking down the Poison Celestial Dragon, Lin Yue had already tried it by having Bai lure quite a few Storm Flying Lizards and using his shotgun to eliminate them.

And as a result, he obtained a large number of Copper Treasure Chests, along with their real names!

Bai flapped its wings, diving down to glide, eventually reaching the Ancient Secret Realm Gate on the beach. Lin Yue opened the gate and let Bai go through first.

Once he saw the Storm Flying Lizards close enough to him, he turned around and also slipped into the Ancient Gate.

At the same time, he immediately ran about thirty meters from the Ancient Gate, laying out various weapons on the ground.

"Sharpshooters are fed with bullets, and practical experience is the same."

Lin Yue took out ten Burning Armor-Piercing Arrows, placing a burning torch on the ground, skillfully igniting one arrow, placing it on the Alloy Tactical Crossbow.

The battle process was simple, and the result was as expected.

Seventeen Storm Flying Lizards entered the Otherworld in succession and became fireballs before they even had the chance to take off.

In the end, Lin Yue felt there was no surprise at all, so he even played around with the Crossbow Carriage.

The Crossbow Carriage’s heavy and powerful Burning Arrow was quite formidable, piercing through three monsters, even directly penetrating the Ancient Secret Realm Gate, disappearing on the other side.

After collecting seventeen Copper Treasure Chests, Lin Yue deliberately waited a bit, confirming no more were coming out. Then he had Bai wait in place and hurried back to the Shelter to unload.

After placing nine cars and various miscellaneous items into the warehouse, Lin Yue immediately turned back into the Ancient Secret Realm Gate.

Since there was space, as long as it was visible in the Secret Realm, he’d even want to scrape a layer of the ground!

Anyway, the Otherworld didn’t have concepts like land rights or territories, and there were no people or rules to constrain him.

If one’s power was sufficient, personal territory could be infinite!

However, this situation was only in the early stages of survival in this Otherworld. Once the Refugee Village developed larger, and survivors gradually gathered together, forming a larger Refuge City, and even creating so-called "confederations," the matter of territories would truly come to the forefront, and everyone would gradually develop this awareness.

Lin Yue speculated that perhaps the so-called "country" concept initially came about in this way.

If materials were indeed sufficient, he also wanted to add another layer outside his wall to meet his ever-growing space needs.

However, stone materials were still extremely scarce, and everyone was preparing to cope with disasters. Unless mined by themselves, getting stone was difficult, even if traded with various hard currencies, it wouldn’t obtain much.

After all, stone had now become the hardest hard currency.

Returning to the Secret Realm again, Lin Yue headed back to the parking lot. Upon appraising all the cars and finding all were in a damaged state, he directly took out the High-Precision Research Workstation and began the rapid disassembly process.

If he carried cars as they were, he wouldn’t be able to bring back much stuff. But by disassembling cars into various parts and materials, taking away good stuff and continuing to disassemble or discard broken stuff, he could minimize space occupation and obtain more parts.

There was only one drawback: each part needed appraisal, which consumed survival points.

Yet Lin Yue had more survival points than he knew how to spend.

So it hardly mattered.

After some hassle, Lin Yue still swiftly headed to the bank where he once stayed.

Last time, he hadn’t brought the workstation, so the various items inside remained untouched. Now that he had brought it, he didn’t need to be so polite anymore.

Soon, with Bai confirming there were no mutant creatures inside, Lin Yue ventured in.

Days later, he found that aside from some additional dust, there seemed to be no change at all.

Looking from the front door towards the pet shop, he could even see the burned mutant sheep’s sheepskin left there when he hid.

He had once engaged in close combat with Du Ping’s team here. In the end, he took down everyone including Du Ping, except for one who escaped.

After reminiscing, Lin Yue entered the bank.

This time, he didn’t have to feel limited in what he could take due to Storage Space constraints.

Now he could even disassemble the automated teller machines for various alloys, chips, screens, etc., as loot.

After collecting several heavy explosion-proof glass panes, Lin Yue went straight into the vault.

The alloy doors along the way, the shelves in the vault, locked safes, all turned into various raw materials in front of the workstation.

Lin Yue also kept all the gems and similar items stored within.

These small items didn’t take up space, not to mention finding over a dozen small diamonds, allowing for crafting more Diamond Iron Pickaxes.

Inside and out, after taking everything seemingly useful within the bank, even prying up and collecting marble floor tiles, the Storage Space was full once again.

"Sigh, still regret not collecting more Storage Space from Levik’s group’s corpses."

Lin Yue said, just as he was about to step out of the bank with Bai.

Suddenly, Bai seemed to sense something, growling and rushing out like the wind!

What? What’s happening?

Lin Yue grabbed his shotgun and sniper rifle, hurriedly following outside.

He soon saw, not far off to the east, two large, entirely dark gray masses.

"Tentacle Monsters?" Lin Yue remembered these creatures; last time he had taken one down here.

Unexpected, to encounter them again, and in the same location...

What’s going on, why meet these creatures again?

Lin Yue swapped his weapon for the Crossbow Carriage.

To deal with such creatures, one Burning Arrow might not suffice, but with the Crossbow Carriage...

"Gawu!" Bai unexpectedly picked up Lin Yue just then, taking him straight into the high skies!

"Bai?" Lin Yue didn’t understand why Bai acted this way, just as he wanted to ask, he saw something below, raising the ground into a mound, bursting through the asphalt pavement!

With a rumbling sound

Two colossal sharp black horns emerged from the ground, followed quickly by an indescribably hideous monster face rising from the soil!
