The World Is A Wasteland: I Obtained A Top Tier Shelter

Chapter 8: Hard Currency? Rock Is Nothing!

The breeze blew Lin Yue’s hair.

On the roof of the shelter, his figure was lonely and silent.

From the highest point he could climb in this wasteland, he looked around and did not miss a single corner.

However, in this desolate land, the loess and sparse weeds occupied his entire vision.

From time to time, some slowly moving black spots appeared and disappeared in the grass. Lin Yue estimated that they were at least hundreds of meters away from him.

The temperature was constantly rising.

After drinking the last remaining water in a bottle, Lin Yue walked down the ladder and landed on the ground. He had created this ladder earlier, and even obtained a blueprint of it.

After putting the ladder into his inventory, he had some doubts.

Why was there no sign of a second shelter in such a large area?

Humans were social animals.

Especially in this strange survival game, people were looking for comfort in the group chat to satisfy their lonely hearts.

Although Lin Yue did not want to meet anyone by chance, he still wanted to find traces of them in this apocalyptic survival game.

After all, in the past day or so, he had only seen over 9,000 people in the group chat.

This survival game was filled with countless mysteries.

They could cut trees and turn them into wood, or replace the walls and roof with wood.

He could even rely on his imagination to create a ladder with wood and obtain the blueprint of a wooden ladder.

After entering the wooden hut, Lin Yue closed the door and heaved a sigh of relief.

The shelter was the safest place he could find.

Sitting on the bed, he thought about something.

How big was this world?

According to the survival manual, 7.8 billion people had been transferred to this foreign world.

Excluding the elderly, children, and others who did not have much survival ability, the total participants should be about a third. Lin Yue remembered that he had read statistics that said that if the land on Earth was divided to everyone, each person would get about 45 acres on average.

If this world allocated everyone in similar size areas, then each person would have an area of about 130 acres.

It was about the size of 14 football fields.

But the range he could see from the roof should be higher than this number.

Then, was this place bigger than Earth?

Or was it that the distribution of people was not even? Was he the only unlucky one who was further away from others?

Lin Yue felt that this question needed to be asked in the group.

Opening the group interface, Lin Yue suddenly realized that the number of people in the upper right corner had decreased greatly!

8,907!

In a short time, a thousand people had died.

Was it fast?

If it were before he encountered the giant locust, Lin Yue would have thought that this was too fast.

But now, he did not think so.

His experience yesterday made him understand how terrifying mutated creatures were.

Even the body fluids of small insects could corrode the soles of their shoes. What would happen if a big insect came?

What if it was not insects that had no intelligence, but mutated beasts and birds?

There was no food or water here. They seemed to only exist in treasure chests.

In order to find water and food, everyone had to fight mutated creatures, but the drop rate of treasure chests was shockingly low.

With the loss of a large amount of stamina, exhaustion, thirst, and hunger, how many people had fallen while fighting the mutated creatures?

Although there were no overly powerful mutated creatures, this was probably the ‘newbie benefit’ at the beginning of the survival game.

Moreover, it was not only that.

From the large amount of feces behind the hut, it could be known that the mutated creatures who would not approach the shelter easily during daytime would move in the direction of the shelter at night.

Night was the most dangerous time in this world before the disaster arrived. Those who did not change the straw hut into something sturdier were cruelly punished at night. They might be severely injured or died without a corpse.

Lin Yue looked around the shelter.

Whether it was the roof, the walls, or the door, they were made of wood. It was much sturdier than the previous straw hut.

But it was still not as strong as he had imagined.

After the giant locust was locked inside by him yesterday, the impact from it shook the whole hut.

What if a stronger animal came? What if there was more than one?

Thinking of the black dots in the distance, Lin Yue suddenly felt that this shelter was not too reliable.

If wood can’t do it, what about… stone?

Lin Yue opened the trading center.

There were many people selling stones, but they were fewer in number than wood and iron.

Lin Yue searched.

There were about 3,000 posts about selling wood, 1,900 posts about selling iron, and only 700 posts about selling stone.

The simple comparison made Lin Yue understand that stones were rarer than the other two.

Actually, it was not accurate to say that it was rare.

There should be a lot of stones mined, but almost 100% of them were used to upgrade the shelter.

A stone shelter was stronger than a wooden shelter. Most people would choose this without hesitation when they saw the directions of upgrading to the stone shelter on the [Manufacture] panel.

Therefore, other than water, stone was also a hard currency.

As for the exchange ratio between the two…

The water was naturally stronger!

[Seller: Lin Yue]

[Auction: 300 milliliters of mineral water]

[Requirement: Stone]

[Seller’s note: Auction, you know it.]

“This is the third time Lin Yue is selling water… altogether, it comes to 700 milliliters? Comparison is frustrating! If I had a drop of water, I would have to divide it into two and drink!”

“Speaking of which, that big shot hasn’t said where he got the water from, right?”

“Humans are facing a common disaster, but people are still hiding things. How inhumane!”

“His shelter is definitely by the river. Speaking of which, those who bought his water, can you tell me if the water is turbid or clean?”

“I bought his water last time. The water was a little sweet. It’s definitely not from the riverside.”

“Where did the girl who sold the green water go? I remember she sold some.”

“Don’t ask. Her profile picture is already gray.”

“Please, it’s too difficult for me. Boss Lin Yue, give me some water!”

“I have a delicate and sexy body. Hundreds of people used to send rockets in my live-stream. Little Brother Lin Yue, do you wanna consider it? I only want water.”

The group was very lively.

Faced with everyone’s envy, slander, pleading, and temptation, Lin Yue only watched silently without any emotions.

No matter what he said, he would still be faced with endless questions and doubts.

Of course, if he revealed the secret, he might be squeezed even after his death.

Before he could really live comfortably, he would not consider the life and death of others.

They were all strangers to him.
