CHAPTER 368: CHAPTER 325: WE WILL BE LIN YUE’S MOST LOYAL ALLIES!

"Chief, there are still some Lizardman corpses over there!"

Fei Yue led all the combat personnel, gathered the Lizardman corpses around the walls, collected the blood and sweat from their bodies with bottles, and picked up the scattered Copper Treasure Chests.

Cleaning up the battlefield was quite exhilarating.

Collecting blood and sweat, looting treasure chests, and stripping weapons and armor, everyone worked with immense enthusiasm.

After all, these were their spoils, their rightful winnings after this great victory!

"Burn their bodies and let’s hurry back to the shelter!" Fei Yue tied a bundle of burning cotton string to his Crossbow Arrow, and with a whoosh, it flew out and stabbed into the pile of Lizardman corpses!

A fierce blaze rose to the sky, and the intensely burning flames illuminated everyone’s faces.

"Everyone stay alert, the Lizardmen might come back! Withdraw to the Refugee Village, move quickly!"

Fei Yue calmly commanded his men to retreat from the outer walls of the Refugee Village, quickly passing through the gate and back to the main shelter in formation.

Inside the shelter, those who didn’t go out to fight were waiting for their return, the recent explosions and cries for battle having frightened them.

Now that the warriors returned, they felt a bit of relief.

Many cried out, but upon seeing everyone unharmed, a sense of hope rose in their hearts again.

Fei Yue knew things weren’t entirely over yet.

"All non-combat personnel go rest in the basement now, others divide into three groups, one group goes to the walls with me, one guards the first and second floors of the shelter, one goes to rest, switching shifts every two hours until daylight!"

"Yes!!"

"Everyone else, listen up, if the Lizardmen attack again and we don’t send a signal, you must break out beyond the walls, even if just one survives!"

"Yes!!!"

Everyone shouted in unison, suddenly realizing that their chief, who often said he wasn’t suited to be a leader or lacked ability, seemed to have transformed — becoming much more reliable and trustworthy.

Their leader was now like a genuine "chief," not simply leading them just to please Lin Yue, nor a puppet of the deceased Master San.

Fei Yue’s transformation brought great joy to everyone, reigniting the flame of hope within each person’s heart, while the spoils brought back by Fei Yue and the others thrilled them further.

Fei Yue looked at everyone and nodded.

He knew very well that he was not decisive, often careless and poorly planned, even having made a mistake before that could have destroyed the Refugee Village.

According to his own stubborn beliefs, he was not suitable to be the leader of nearly two hundred people in the Refugee Village.

But he was, he is now.

Being the chief, means using all his power and energy, risking everything to be a good leader and protect these Survivors!

"Alright, those I call will come with me as the first group to the walls for watch, the second group stays here on guard, everyone else rest well!"

Fei Yue assigned tasks, took twenty people, smeared Lizardman blood and sweat over their bodies and clothes again, and pushed open the shelter door to go outside.

Then, they climbed up the walls, drew the crossbow strings tight, and in the starlit night, scanned the outside of the walls, the hazy Desert.

No words were spoken, each person had a finger on their trigger, nerves tense, ready for battle every moment!

The Lizardmen might organize a second wave of attack, and they were the guards preventing such an assault.

The night was still, absolute silence prevailed.

In the Desert, only the warm winds blew continuously.

Time passed slowly, the first group went to rest, and the second group took over, while Fei Yue still persevered.

He was excited, without a hint of sleepiness.

"Chief, you should rest, we all depend on you!" His subordinate urged him.

But Fei Yue just shook his head.

He now had a leader’s awareness, and fully understood the meaning of being a Domineering People.

This was all taught to him by Lin Yue.

Lin Yue was a peculiar person.

Ranked first in the global survival leaderboard, a resource collecting maniac, a natural warrior, someone who could lead all humanity...

These were all "tags" people placed on Lin Yue, yet Fei Yue thought Lin Yue wouldn’t like any of them.

The only title he might accept was "Lone Wolf."

Living alone, exploring alone, fighting alone, Lin Yue was unlike anyone else in the world.

In this Otherworld, where disaster strikes every seven days, forming groups and establishing Refugee Villages became the choice for nearly everyone. Group activities were more effective, convenient, and significantly increased survival rates.

With the opening of the world trading platform, water resources were no longer too limited for survivors, Refugee Villages, and later Refuge Towns and Refuge Cities would emerge.

This pattern aligned perfectly with the trajectory of human development.

From tribes to villages, walls rose, cities formed...
