CHAPTER 357: CHAPTER 316: SUDDENLY CLEAR, FUTURE WEAPON BLUEPRINT!

The white giant dragon flapped its wings, continuously flying through the night sky. Occasionally, some flying mutant creatures approached, only to quickly leave due to a smell they disliked.

Lin Yue turned back to look; the hint of white in the direction of the Nitrates Mine was still conspicuous.

A safe retreat.

This night raid assassination, though not yielding a huge success, reaped quite a bit.

In terms of intelligence, he successfully discovered that the place which had been excavated into a huge pit was actually the production site of nitrate ore, an important component of gunpowder.

There were about two to three thousand Lizardmen and beggars, surrounded by walls like a fortress, with some patrols and watchtowers monitoring inside and outside.

In reality, night raid assassinations aren’t very effective since there are too many Lizardmen, and they are also on guard at night, severely limiting his actions.

However, to investigate what kind of mineral was being produced inside the walled fortress without alerting anyone, there wasn’t really any other way.

Even if Bai carried him to the top of that walled fortress at the mine, the Lizardmen and beggars would still notice them, especially since Bai’s flight is quite loud at night, and the mine top is so conspicuous in the dark, making them even easier to spot.

There should only be one Survivor in this world who can ride a giant dragon, right?

Perhaps this fact might lead to a large number of Lizardmen following the beggars who accidentally find out about his Shelter and launch a massive assault, overwhelming it completely.

Of course, this is all just his speculation, not reality.

Perhaps the Lizardmen won’t notice them at all.

However, if he keeps gambling with such odds, he probably won’t last very long.

In this Otherworld, there’s no need for such life-risking survival tactics; rather than taking such huge risks, it’s better to choose more stable methods.

Besides, night raid assassination is more thrilling, isn’t it?

Lin Yue recalled how he ghosted over the city wall from the woods, assassinated two Lizardmen to reach the mine pit, then wiped out eighty-two beggars and killed a squad of twenty Lizardmen, finally withdrawing stealthily...

If possible, he would like to do it again tomorrow.

The tension and thrill are something completely different from his usual fights with Lizardmen and beggars.

It can be quite addictive.

But if he comes tomorrow, he won’t take it as easy. With the lack of moonlight in the next two days, during the day, let those beggars mine away, and he’ll collect their lives and their Storage Spaces along with the ore inside them!

Bai flapped its wings, beginning to descend, while Lin Yue donned the Full-Color Night Vision Device and noticed the large building enclosed by high walls below.

Arrived at his Shelter.

However, the twinkling torches and occasional roars from the ground indicated that the battle here was not over yet!

"Bai, descend behind the Lizardmen; let’s snipe at the enemies from the rear!"

"Gawo!" Bai growled softly, circling once in the sky before landing several hundred meters behind a group of Lizardmen and beggars holding torches.

Lin Yue, with a sniper rifle in hand and aided by the Full-Color Night Vision Device, quickly began shooting!

First kill the beggars, then shoot the Lizardmen’s legs!

This is generally the standard method for dealing with Lizardmen and beggars.

Beggar must be killed first as they are more cunning and dangerous, far more resourceful than the Lizardmen, and they also use ranged weapons.

When attacking Lizardmen, don’t let them drop chests first. Hit the legs first, and then gradually harvest the chests.

Very quickly, Lin Yue, almost invisible in the darkness, gained substantial results!

One beggar after another got shot in the head, and the Lizardmen’s wails filled the air!

Some Lizardmen attempted to ambush him from the nearby ground, but were slashed to pieces by the sudden appearance of Little Ice Lizards.

Bai flew low, its sharp claws slicing through the bodies of numerous Lizardmen with ease.

"Guwah!" Xiao Meng’s roar resounded nearby; it knew its master and Bai came to support, turning its defensive stance into a counterattack!

Despite the Lizardman army’s recent assault being well-prepared, the numbers were too overwhelming. They could only continuously defend around the outer walls of the Shelter to prevent an incursion, remaining passive, but the support from the master and Bai successfully broke the stalemate.

On this moonless night, the siege by the Lizardmen quickly crumbled under the attack from Lin Yue and Bai, with noise and shouts ceasing after the last Lizardman’s head got smashed by Xiao Meng.

"Finally over." Lin Yue put away the torches left by the Lizardmen, joining Xiao Meng and the Little Ice Lizards along with Bai.

The Little Ice Lizards remained vigilant while Lin Yue took the opportunity to clean up the Lizardmen who hadn’t died yet.

Of course, he gladly accepted the 25 cubic meters of Storage Space left by the 17 beggars he killed.

After piling up all the Lizardmen corpses and beggar bodies, Lin Yue dealt with them simply with fire, just as before.

"It’s not easy over there either. These Lizardmen and beggars are really annoying."

"Gawo." "Guwah." Bai and Xiao Meng concurred.

The Lizardmen are relentlessly disturbing day and night, bringing both mental and physical exhaustion. If this continues long term, it will tire him out eventually.

The Lizardmen’s numbers seem infinite.

Unless there’s something with widespread destructive power, like grenades, or RPG rocket launchers...

No grenades, and the bombs obtained from the Lizardmen are too weak.

But he does have rocket launchers.

When opening the Platinum Treasure Chest, he got that item, but it’s only meant for single-person combat, and it seems he’s the only one who can use it.

Lin Yue looked at the burning heap of corpses, suddenly inspired.

Wait.

There’s someone else who can use rocket launchers.

Can’t the machine dogs do it?!

The machine dogs can equip M19 pistols, so naturally, they can also equip shotguns, sniper rifles, assault rifles, and submachine guns.

And rocket launchers too, right?

Imagine ten machine dogs firing rocket launchers at the approaching Lizardman armies...

Simply wonderful!

Lin Yue suddenly felt enlightened.

If, when the Lizardmen attack the Shelter, he and Bai go to attack the Nitrates Mine, while Xiao Meng assaults the Lizardman lair in the Underground Ruins, with the Little Ice Lizards aiding the machine dogs, and the machine dogs using infrared to aim and adapt to the dark...

It seems feasible to launch a multi-front assault on the Lizardmen and beggars?

Sounds pretty promising!
