Global Wasteland: I Obtained A Top Tier Shelter-Chapter 48: Re-entering the Secret Realm, Surprising Discovery!

Chapter 48: Chapter 48: Re-entering the Secret Realm, Surprising Discovery!

The dark green vines twisted and entwined, crisscrossing to heavily conceal the moss-covered, slimy bricks.

The double wooden doors wrapped by these dilapidated bricks were as ancient as before.

However, Lin Yue did not see the mist that once enveloped the Ancient Secret Realm Gate, as if it had never existed.

He gently touched the ancient gate, but Lin Yue did not enter immediately.

The recent battle, although not prolonged, was not easy for Lin Yue.

Before leaving, he had already drafted his strategy.

The tiger-striped shadow deer were adept at leaping, a fact he learned from his previous encounter with them; he had indeed assumed that they would leap and pounce when approaching him and thus devised this final strategy.

Bai’s ability allowed it to exhale an icy mist, even freezing the enemies for over ten seconds, something he read about in the system’s description.

Thus, Lin Yue had prepared the traps in his inventory in advance and positioned himself in front of the traps he had previously set around the shelter.

Even if they did not leap to attack and instead charged directly, they would fall into the pre-set traps, an occurrence Lin Yue felt confident about.

When the time came, he only needed to retreat into the shelter, and to some extent, he could climb onto the roof to execute his well-versed high vantage strategy.

In dealing with the tiger-striped shadow deer, he had several methods, and the opponent had indeed given him a straightforward solution by directly jumping into the trap he and Bai had set this time.

As Bai spewed out the icy mist, Lin Yue’s traps were also in place, and he quickly moved to the side.

With almost a large area being traps, unless these creatures could fly, there was no escaping.

After finally slaying them with the Iron Spear, all Lin Yue had to do was reap the rewards.

"Two Silver Treasure Chests... feels like there’s no breakthrough."

Lin Yue felt that the Silver Treasure Chests were somewhat unsatisfying for him.

He also wondered what the Golden Treasure Chest above the Silver Treasure Chest looked like, and whether there would be rarer chests above the Golden Treasure Chest.

Not opening the two chests immediately, he tossed them into the shelter along with the skin of the tiger-striped shadow deer, only carrying 20kg of the poisonous deer meat.

Although the deer meat was toxic and entirely unusable, it didn’t mean it was entirely useless.

He recalled the previous encounter in the Secret Realm with creatures resembling winged dragons but with antennas, and if he encountered them again on this Secret Realm journey, perhaps this deer meat would come in handy.

"Bai, you did well just now; want to try something nice?"

Lin Yue pulled out a Snickers bar, which he had exchanged for water a long time ago and hadn’t eaten, considering Bai had just used up some energy spraying the icy mist, it was a good opportunity to give it a boost.

"Puchi~" Bai was quite excited, thrilled to have been able to assist Lin Yue in its first battle after growing up, and now even more delighted to be fed by him.

Bai almost swallowed half of the Snickers bar whole, still seemingly unsatisfied, eyeing the remaining half in Lin Yue’s hand.

"Don’t stare, you little glutton, I’ll give you more when we return from the Secret Realm."

Saying so, Lin Yue used the wooden shield on his left arm to push open the wooden door in front of him.

Strangely, there was no mist outside the door, nor even inside the door.

It seemed completely different from the Secret Realm he visited last time.

Lin Yue continued pushing the door with the Iron Spear, cautiously stepping inside.

As he stepped onto the damp soil of the Secret Realm, a familiar, rich, peculiar smell wafted into his nostrils.

Wait, this strong seafood smell, it also seems to be the scent produced by some special liquid...

"Oh my, there’s a heather tree right by the doorway, how convenient."

At first, Lin Yue thought he had reached some seaside area, but upon seeing a tree right by the door, blooming with numerous white flower clusters, he understood instantly.

Taking out a ball of yarn, he tied it around the trunk of this tree, despite the strong odor, and turned to look at Bai, finding the little creature had also walked a bit ahead, seemingly unable to bear the smell.

Lin Yue looked around, realizing he seemed to be in a forest this time, surrounded by towering trees.

"The forest... seems even more dangerous than the city, and there’s nothing worthwhile to collect either."

Lin Yue immediately considered turning back.

However, since he was here, he figured he might as well look around; you never know.

After the system update, each Secret Realm opens only for two days, and it reminded that if one stayed past the second day, they might never return to the Otherworld, remaining in this place that seems like Earth but perhaps Earth several decades later.

Remaining vigilant, Lin Yue continued forward, soon catching up with Bai.

Bai still exhibited no signs of alertness to nearby enemies, which reassured Lin Yue somewhat. freёnovelkiss.com

After all, comparing himself to the keen Bai, he, despite having become much stronger and learning many combat skills, still fell short of this mutated creature’s survival instincts.

Continuing forward, Lin Yue suddenly noticed something unusual.

"Is this... a streetlamp?"

[Would you like to spend 1 Survival Point to identify?]

The system suddenly prompted in a voice that made Lin Yue’s eyelids twitch.

Good heavens, if only this voice was audible to him, otherwise in this quiet jungle, something might be drawn out.

Naturally, Lin Yue chose no, as it looked unmistakably like a toppled streetlamp.

The not-so-tall streetlamp pole had already fallen to the ground, and the lamp cover was shattered, with broken LED bulbs inside.

"It’s actually an LED bulb, which means it shouldn’t be a main road, but even main roads shouldn’t be this desolate after decades."

Lin Yue muttered to himself, pondering where exactly this place was.

There were no buildings around, only trees in his line of sight.

Could this be a place like a park originally?

Crouching down, he prodded the ground with the spear tip, finding it not a hard asphalt road, and after some searching, he finally poked a slab about ten centimeters buried.

Further exploration revealed more slabs, a considerable number, extending in one direction.

Darn, it’s really a park.

Following after Bai, who continued to walk ahead, Lin Yue soon found a second and third fallen streetlamp.

Fortunately, he also found an intact LED bulb. Spending 1 Survival Point to identify, he discovered it wasn’t broken.

"Puchi!" After walking another few dozen meters, Bai suddenly bolted forward as if it had discovered something.

Lin Yue quickly followed it in a sprint.

Outside the forest ahead, he saw something too!

It was a concrete structure!

After reaching that place, before Lin Yue could inspect it, his eyes caught sight of something else in another direction.

He couldn’t help but gasp!

The towering, red and white striped iron tower told Lin Yue exactly what this place was!

...

The additional Chapter promised for Deacon "Returning to Meet Again with This Melody" couldn’t be completed today, so I’ll owe one for now.

Before launching, every single 5000 points of reward will add one Chapter, and I’ll surely catch up with the extra Chapters then, and the reward givers will get credited!
