Chapter 572 - 420 Mineral Resource Reserve Detector

Copper Treasure Chests, 18 Mutant Sheep.

In order to save time, Lin Yue didn’t bother dissecting the mutant sheep, simply drained some water and then packed them away again.

However, this chance encounter made Lin Yue even more determined to build the medium and short-distance track rapid transit, and also elevated railway.

Driving to the Nitrate Ore mine takes nearly two hours round trip, but if there were a train running on the elevated railway, it could cut the time by half or even more.

Not to mention, it could also reduce encounters with mutant creatures, or even avoid them entirely.

Of course, this would depend on having a massive storage of Nitrate Ore.

If the Nitrate Ore storage isn’t sufficient, then there’s no need to go to such lengths.

However, the Petroleum River Base can feasibly have one, as the storage capacity for petroleum, no matter how low, is unimaginably large.

The tactical beach buggy continued forward, as Lin Yue accelerated, it didn’t take long before seeing the towering fort walls in the distance.

And of course, the Medium Electric Guard Machine Gun Platform standing on the fortress, with its constantly moving gun barrel.

Luckily, this thing is intelligent and can be controlled—otherwise, it would go trigger-happy and he couldn’t approach the area, making efforts futile.

"Chirp chirp." The Little Ice Lizards in the car started calling out again, looking up at the sky.

A shadow suddenly flew out of the fortress walls like lightning!

Just like a Crossbow Arrow, it flew over their heads and quickly zoomed to the sky above the road, landing smoothly in front of the car!

It was a large lizard with pale green scales, about one and a half meters tall, with a slender body and extremely thin arms and legs, different from Bai and Xiao Liuzi, its wings under its arms seemed to be covered with a membrane, connecting to the sides of its legs.

When standing on the ground, its arms hung down while the wings folded at the same time.

Looking at its small head, unlike other Ice Lizards, it had a horn-like protrusion on its forehead, stretching the entire head into a triangular shape.

The slender tail also had fins resembling a fish tail, and quite lengthy.

Overall, it looked like a flying green shark!

"Gao!" Seeing Lin Yue, it suddenly danced joyfully in the middle of the road, spinning around enthusiastically!

"Uh...Green Claw?" Lin Yue was a bit unsure, this creature looks familiar yet somewhat unfamiliar.

"Gao!" The little green guy immediately jumped to the side of the driver’s seat, with its scythe-like little claws hugging Lin Yue’s arm, rubbing affectionately.

Damn, it really is Green Claw...

The change sure is big!

Just then, another series of rumbling sounds approached from far away, and a black shadow emerged from the end of the road!

The shadow moved fast, and the running noises carried a heavy sound effect.

"Damn, could this be...Black Dot?" Lin Yue exclaimed, looking at the black large lizard, also about one and a half meters tall, that ran to the front of the car.

Like Green Claw, it had a slender build, but its arms were much more robust than Green Claw’s, with longer claws, like daggers.

Not only that, on its back was a narrow, small blue ridge like a sail, extending to the tip of its tail, about ten centimeters wide.

Most notably, around its neck was a strange sheet-like structure, resembling a black umbrella!

It squeezed beside Green Claw, nodding repeatedly when hearing Lin Yue say "Black Dot," calling "Gao gao" in apparent excitement.

And because of its excitement, the "black umbrella" around its neck opened and shook non-stop.

"Haha, you’ve waited long, the change is truly big..." Lin Yue reflected with emotion, always amazed by the Little Ice Lizards’ transformation.

This evolution defied the "binding evolution" of Earth, allowing these little lizards to gradually grow, ultimately becoming powerful dragons with strong dominance!

This rapid evolution in such a short time indeed brought them monumental changes.

Moreover, their significantly enhanced strength provided Lin Yue’s overall combat capacity with greater support.

It’s safe to say, dragons like Bai and Xiao Meng could defend a Shelter by themselves!

Wasn’t it just yesterday that Xiao Meng led the Little Ice Lizards in holding off attacks from the Lizardman and beggars from all directions?

Back then, the main Shelter’s walls hadn’t been completed, yet they could already achieve such terrifying feats.

Lin Yue can now look forward to Black Dot, Green Claw, Red Line, and Xiao Liuzi evolving like Bai and Xiao Meng, and after other Little Ice Lizards evolve once again, his strength might easily destroy any Refugee Village!

No matter how strong Lily Kalahao might be, it’s just a matter of a dozen minutes...

"Alright, alright, it’s best you’re fine, hungry? Here, have something good to eat. You twenty little guys haven’t eaten either, let’s dig in together."

Lin Yue took out a few large bowls of fragrant instant noodles from the Storage Space and put some fried meat on the ground.

It’s great that Black Dot and Green Claw are okay.

With their evolution to this size, their combat strength has greatly improved.

And not only that.

Covering both ground and air.

Bai, Xiao Liuzi, and Green Claw all fight in the air, Xiao Meng, Red Line, and Black Dot are the ground assault forces.

Strength is growing stronger...

Lin Yue is quite satisfied with this.

Who doesn’t want their strength to continually grow until no one can shake it?

Recently, he eliminated nearly ninety thousand Lizardman and beggars, and took care of the treacherous Du Ping, his confidence is immensely strong now.

How does that saying go?

"Invaders, even far away, must be eliminated!"

He believes that feeling will be stronger with the firing of intercontinental missile launch vehicles.

"Alright, no more sentimentality, let’s handle another serious matter quickly."

Started the engine, let Black Dot and Green Claw eat first, Lin Yue quickly drove through the gap into the fortress walls.

However, upon entering, Lin Yue noticed changes inside.

"The mine has gotten deeper and extends even further down? Also, aren’t there too many ’pyramids’ here?" Lin Yue exclaimed at the three to four dozen ’pyramids’ located at where beggars built the Shelters.

The efficiency is truly high!

Lin Yue felt quite thrilled seeing machine dogs glimmering with metallic sheen operating around the mine pit, mountain paths, and pyramids.

Thrilled he might be.

But how much reserve is left in the Nitrate Ore, how much longer can it be mined? That truly matters to him.

Approaching the underground Shelter, he took out the large Mineral Resource Reserve Detector from the Storage Space, connecting its power source.

With a roar, one by one the green indicator lights lit up!

The dashboard moved, and the giant screen lit up accordingly!
