CHAPTER 484: CHAPTER 371: UNDERCURRENTS SURGING, THE MOST DANGEROUS PERSON AMONG SURVIVORS!

Lizardman?

Lin Yue felt that he hadn’t heard this term in a long time. The last time he saw them alive seemed like a long time ago.

"There aren’t any Lizardmen attacking here, but we did encounter mutant fish."

He indeed encountered the mutant fish on his way to Belger Lake in a big truck, and there were quite a few of them.

Those fish should have come from carnivorous fish mutated from the emerging underground water. Why did they all go to Fei Yue’s side? Could it be that these mutated creatures didn’t just come from the Belger mine pit?

"Oh, that’s good, though many people on the world channel have encountered those mutant fish too. Pay more attention, but I doubt anything can stump you. By the way, everyone is talking about those ice blocks. Check out their analyses on the world channel; you might gain some insights. Additionally, if you have any thoughts, chat with me."

Fei Yue seemed quite concerned about this place and also reminded him to take a look at the world channel.

"Ice blocks? What could those things possibly... wait, indeed, if you interpret it this way..."

With Fei Yue’s reminder, Lin Yue suddenly thought of something.

The disaster was over, but those ice blocks that had turned into an ice-water mixture still hadn’t disappeared.

They were still melting, and the ice-water mixture had already inundated a considerable portion of the Desert area.

What about places other than the Desert?

He opened the world channel to search for useful information.

"Goodness, after the acid rain flooding, there was that thunderstorm-induced mini-flood, and now it’s another flood from the melting ice blocks, huh? Next time, let’s just cut to the chase and have a great flood."

"Stop it, stop it already, I’m flooded here again, and there are mutant fish in this ice water. We went out with the leader to collect ice blocks, and the leader got dragged away by accident. Probably..."

"Don’t you think these ice blocks might be related to the next disaster? Although the system identified them as drinkable, the quantity is just overwhelming."

"Don’t rush us; we are already building water tanks here."

"The last flood gave us a big river here, and if these ice blocks melt completely, this place might just turn from a plain into a swamp. Should we consider moving?"

"Haha, who remembers the second disaster earthquake that turned our refugee village into an island? When the water receded, we moved away. After the thunderstorm last time, when we went back to check, the place was fully submerged, and now with all the hail melted, it’s probably a big lake there."

"The person above suggesting it might be related to disaster, I kind of feel the same, just like the extreme heat last time. Maybe this is the prelude to a disaster beginning now."

"By the way, isn’t Lily Kalahao being a bit overbearing? Last time, she even informed every single one of us in the refugee village to join her village. What’s going on? Does she want to be queen or something?"

"What a coincidence, she informed us too. Everyone is trying to survive, and there she is, already developing a power base, huh?"

"Haha, have we really advanced from a tribe to an empire in this survival game? Wow, is a great war about to start? Looking forward to it."

"It’s not just Lily Kalahao; Caspar added me as well."

"For me, it’s Jia Yunzhan."

"Over here, it’s that neon person, Takeda."

"Are all the top ten making moves? Wait a minute, I just checked the rankings, who is Fei Yue, some big shot I’ve never heard of?"

"Certainly, last time this refugee village seemed to be way out of the top hundred? Other people are pretty much in the same position as before."

"Are they playing at forming alliances? Our refugee village will only choose Lin Yue."

"Who wouldn’t? Clearly, Lin Yue is on a different level from the others. The last nine aren’t even a match, who would join anyone else?"

"I am Kamal James. Join our refugee village, and I guarantee three meals a day for everyone, plenty of water, fewer tasks, and easy work, everyone is welcome!"

"Wow, the leader himself is getting involved?"

"Umm, we want to join, please DM me!"

...

Lin Yue closed the world channel.

What Fei Yue wanted him to see was not the threat posed by the ice blocks, but something else.

Specifically, it was the "poaching" actions between the various refugee villages.

With a population of over two billion, refugee villages with hundreds at minimum have at least millions. After surviving the recent disaster, it can be imagined many refugee villages suffered significant losses. Some villages might be left with only a few survivors.

At this time, some refugee villages began absorbing weaker villages, and the top ten on the world leaderboard, except for him, Xing Lingfeng, and Fei Yue, were all aggressively doing this sort of thing.

Even Kamal James personally appeared, directly advertising on the world channel.

"Amalgamation between refugee villages..." Lin Yue pondered.

From small to large, from many to few, this trend is indeed an inevitable development pattern in this Otherworld.

More people mean more strength, more people make things easier.

Mobilizing hundreds of people to gather food, explore the Secret Realm, and collect resources is certainly more efficient than dozens, or even just a few people, or someone like him working solo.

In terms of combat capability, there’s also a greater boost in numbers, and in this era of cold weapons, numbers can indeed solve many issues.
