It was better to gather as many items as possible and hurry back to the Shelter.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>So far, Bai hadn’t shown any signs of caution, suggesting the area seemed quite safe.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Bai, let me know if there’s anything unusual.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Puchi!\" Bai responded, as if it had understood.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Bai was quite intelligent and perceptive; Lin Yue noticed that it could understand some simple commands as they interacted.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Looking at the building beside him, where most of the glass was broken and the wooden doors were decayed, Lin Yue peered inside and quickly realized it was a public restroom.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Initially considering bypassing it, he noticed a closed small door inside, prompting him to enter. After all, it wouldn’t take much effort.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Dust stirred as Lin Yue stepped into a cramped small room, unexpectedly discovering it was a small storage area.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Brooms, rags, and a variety of items were stacked inside, and upon opening a metal cabinet, Lin Yue was surprised to find rolls of toilet paper and wet wipes piled like a small hill!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They were all encased in thick plastic bags, and protected by the metal cabinet, most of them remained intact apart from the ones slightly affected at the top.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Goodness,\" Lin Yue couldn’t help but exclaim.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The preservation was impressive, likely due to the dryness and sealing of the space, along with the protective metal cabinet, and the additional plastic bag wrapping.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Otherwise, items like paper would have certainly deteriorated.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>However...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The value of these items wasn’t far less than that of water.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The use and presence of toilet paper signified a major improvement in living standards.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Previously, he had acquired only a roll from the Iron Treasure Chest, and even now, across the whole group, no one had mentioned toilet paper.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It seemed as though everyone implicitly assumed they had some.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lin Yue was curious about how people dealt with this issue. Were they using sticks or leaves, or perhaps...their hands?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>[You’ve obtained 32 packs of toilet paper]\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>[You’ve obtained 45 packs of disinfectant wet wipes]\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lin Yue felt he might have discovered another valuable currency.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Although water seemed abundant for now, how many modern humans could truly do without paper?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He was convinced these items would cause a sensation in the marketplace!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lin Yue rummaged through the remaining items, but none were as well-preserved. They crumbled upon touch, like a box of tissues, revealing moldy insides unusable.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As he emerged from the storage, Bai yawned at the doorway, indicating the area was remarkably peaceful.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yet, Lin Yue felt something was amiss.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Such a vast area, and not even birds or insects were visible—the entire park eerie in its silence, as though all living things had vanished.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Though only humans seemed to have been sent to the Otherworld.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The remaining mutated creatures, whether insects or beasts, didn’t resemble Earth’s original fauna, but rather appeared as enlarged hybrid creations...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Wait, hybrid?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lin Yue remembered the Mutant Sheep, which had the appearance of a regular sheep yet bore wolf-like fangs and behaviors.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Tiger-striped Shadow Deer also resembled a blend of deer and tiger...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A frightening possibility dawned on him!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Cold sweat broke out!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>No, no.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He looked at Bai.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This little fellow was definitely not a product of fusion. Earth couldn’t possibly have creatures that emitted icy mist, let alone evolve over a few days!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And those strange large rats and winged dragon-like things in this world, seemed increasingly unlikely to have evolved on Earth over just decades.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>There were simply too many mysteries.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Dismissed the thought, Lin Yue called Bai, exited the restroom, and continued ahead.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He walked along the path overtaken by wild grass, moving forward.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The abundance of trees, many with thick, straight trunks, filled the area.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The environment felt entirely different from the city within the Secret Realm.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The air was damp...though the scent of photinia flowers was still quite pungent.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Looking up, between the gaps in the forest, a towering building appeared with edges jutting out.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lin Yue hastened toward it, venturing through the thicket, arriving upon a pitted staircase.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He realized he had used up all the yarn balls completely.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This outing had truly covered quite a distance.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Gazing at the nearly three-story ivy-covered six-story building, he saw an almost completely faded dark yellow English sign on the top wall.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"H, TE? Hotel?\" Lin Yue scrutinized the mostly glassless hotel, reluctant to enter.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yet, the remaining few pieces of glass at the entrance looked intact.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Approaching, he touched a relatively whole piece, and soon the system prompted him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>[You’ve obtained thick organic glass X1]\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Thick? Not bad.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Bai, anything?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Puchi~\" Bai responded by snuggling against Lin Yue’s thigh.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Oh, it’s hungry.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lin Yue understood immediately, retrieved a lamb skewer from the inventory, handed it to Bai, waited for it to finish, before entering through the main door.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Inside lay a thick layer of dust, the floor mostly corroded away, and some places had mushrooms sprouting.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Entering the hotel, he noticed some corroded vending machines and a similarly deteriorated reception area.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The area bore marks of severe water damage, remnants scattered everywhere.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Tables and chairs appeared deliberately wrecked, reduced to fragments.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Carrying a torch, Lin Yue surveyed the place, discovering nothing but dust.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Let’s go, Bai, there’s probably nothing here...wait, what’s this?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lin Yue opened a room, and the sight instantly gave him goosebumps!\u003C\u002Fp>",1060,"2026-06-05T20:40:27.439Z",1,"novelbin.me","c6751deb23b8713b5c7b42928ce1008b4b7d7328fc902c5f32bb6c890ee656e3","global-wasteland-i-obtained-a-top-tier-shelter-chapter-50","global-wasteland-i-obtained-a-top-tier-shelter-chapter-48",884,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fglobal-wasteland-i-obtained-a-top-tier-shelter-cover.jpg"]
