Chapter 568 - 416: Humanoid Creatures? The Unknown World (Extra - for Alliance Leader Bai Shiyu)
Werewolves, Sheep-headed Men, Ape-men.
These are things that have not appeared until now.
However, Old Sun just mentioned them simply from his mouth.
As if it was a very ordinary matter.
Whereas the werewolves, Lin Yue recalled the mural of the Lizardmen, which seemed to depict a humanoid species with two large ears being used as slaves.
Even the bones in the hidden underground space of Underground Ruins F Zone resemble those left by those humanoid species with large ears.
Lin Yue now began to doubt, during the last survival, how many of the so-called "one billion people" were actually Earthlings.
After all, so many sounded like "intelligent species," right?
The evidence is that there wasn’t even a mention of a billion people disappearing on Earth, such a large number couldn’t have gone unnoticed.
Speaking of which, in this second survival, do these intelligent species still exist? Or maybe, were they all wiped out?
Lin Yue looked at Old Sun.
This old guy, according to his words, comes from twenty-eight or nine years ago, if he was thirty-eight back then, he’s around sixty-five or sixty-six years old now.
Although in the Otherworld people do indeed get quite trained, age still greatly determines one’s physical abilities, and Old Sun’s stamina and such are far inferior to younger people.
After such a long interrogation, his stamina has also reached its limit.
Moreover, Lin Yue couldn’t get any more information from him.
Now he can basically judge that the last survival was the "trial version" of this one.
From the diary and Old Sun’s words, it’s evident that during the last survival the system was conducting various experimental things.
The white door should be the Ancient Secret Realm Gate that the system created back then.
However, unlike the current one that can recall people forcibly before disasters, the white Secret Realm Gate seemed to have a bug; once walked through, the other side was still the original Earth, and time didn’t transmit to the Earth decades after human disappearance but rather stayed with the actual days spent in the Otherworld.
It’s tentatively accepted as such.
After all, there’s no better explanation.
"What... what else do you want to know? I said it all, I said it all..."
Old Sun leaned his entire body on the chair, as if his bones had been removed, muttering, eyes dull and hollow.
"What are werewolves, sheep-headed men, and ape-men? Just these species?"
"No, not just these, many, many types, there’s also Leopard-headed Men, Dwarves, Giants, and a species resembling demons, with bright red skin and two bull horns, but I’ve only seen their corpses, never any alive ones."
As Old Sun spoke, he coughed violently again.
"All dead?"
"Never saw any alive, they’re all dead."
"What about the second time, this time?"
"Only saw those stinking lizards." Old Sun said, letting out a sigh, eyes closed as if in extreme pain.
Lin Yue then asked about the collaboration between him and Du Ping, but the old man could only say what he did before.
Lin Yue always felt there was still something he didn’t know, but in the old man’s current state, it indeed isn’t possible to ask much.
Now, the old man directly fainted, not sure if genuine or feigned.
Lin Yue glanced at him and realized there wasn’t much left to extract from this one’s mouth.
It seems the next capture of Xing Lingfeng might be more beneficial.
Since it’s confirmed that Xing Lingfeng has also been through two survivals and indirectly helped Old Sun and Du Ping attack him, extracting more from Xing Lingfeng next time is the optimal solution.
Speaking of which, he still wants to ask You Siyuan’s group about Xing Lingfeng, but the situation remains unclear.
Lin Yue pondered for a while before making a decision.
"Xiao Meng, throw him out, he’s useless now."
Lin Yue put away the Desert Eagle, realizing there are more important things waiting for him.
Outside, tens of thousands of treasure chests, at least tens of thousands of units of Storage Space, await him.
Although many are buried under the soil, they still need to be dug out.
As for Old Sun...
It’s impossible to let him live.
Once thrown out, the machine dog will wait for him to run away and give him an easy shot.
This kind of person would likely become a disaster if returned.
"You’re... You’re not going to kill me?" Old Sun clung to the straw of hope, voice hoarse, eyes wide open.
"I’m not going to kill you, you can leave." Lin Yue nodded at Xiao Meng, who then lifted him like a bag of trash and went upstairs.
"Bai, take Du Ping’s corpse with you, we have a lot of work ahead."
"Gawu." Bai nodded.
In no time, Lin Yue, Bai, and the other Little Ice Lizards returned to the surface, while Xiao Meng was waiting over there.
A "whoosh" sound was heard, as Old Sun, who had run dozens of meters away and was no longer pretending to be dead, had his head blown off.
Hmm, problem solved.
[You have gained 229 cubic meters of Storage Space]
[All items will be merged into your Storage Space]
Lin Yue picked up the remaining items from Old Sun, unexpectedly finding a Browning pistol in his hand, though there was only one bullet.
What can this do...
Lin Yue shook his head.
Even if Old Sun gave him a shot, the Celestial Dragon Armor could easily block the bullet, hardly even notable.
These people have been surviving in the dark, always accumulating strength, but so far, the heat weapon they obtained is just this one... frankly, Lin Yue isn’t impressed.
Browning pistol... an old relic, isn’t it?
Compared to the unused M19 modular pistol, Browning could only be placed inside the cabinet or hung on the wall as a decorative piece.
Lin Yue measured it, shook his head.
Old Sun’s Storage Space did have some items, but most were food, and almost all were various breads, instant noodles...
"Hmm? Books?" Lin Yue noticed nearly a hundred books left by Old Sun, took one out casually.
"’Sow Postpartum Care’? Good grief." Lin Yue chuckled, surprised by it.
However, after browsing through the titles of other books, he no longer found Old Sun’s books humorous.
"All kinds of breeding, planting, medical, scientific fundamentals, wild plant identification, ore identification and application, disaster types and prevention... good grief, it’s like he went to a library and took all the most suitable books for survival in this Otherworld."
In the Otherworld, survival is the eternal topic.
Now thirty-six days have passed, disasters have gone through five cycles.
The sixth prediction will be revealed tomorrow morning.
With only two billion humans left, compared to nearly two-thirds more originally!
For the remaining people to continue the human race, they need to pass down the accumulated human knowledge, science, skills, and experience, adapting slowly in this world.
And these books in Old Sun’s hands are legacy; they are knowledge, science, skills, and experience, the crystallization of human wisdom.
Lin Yue sighed, chose not to dispose of them, and stored them carefully.
He pulled out the "Systempad" left by Du Ping, and turned it on.
Browsing through to "Information Compilation."
As texts continued to scroll upward, suddenly halting, Lin Yue’s gaze finally paused at a line of text.
[The current area of all humanity seems to have a barrier.]
