Chapter 590 - 430: Survival Assurance in the Otherworld (Additional - for Alliance Leader Bai Shiyu!)

Fully armed with earmuffs on, Lin Yue looked at the Lizardman army that had been completely turned upside-down, with their heads being blown off by scattered bullets.

Unlike what was imagined, after traveling long distances from the Petroleum River Base, the gathered troops didn’t seem as numerous as the earlier wave this morning.

"Thirty thousand, no, maybe still forty thousand. But, they don’t seem to be in a hurry to attack?"

Lin Yue noticed that after the machine dogs blew off dozens of Lizardmen’s heads, they quickly retreated as well, as if they were testing the furthest range of the machine dogs’ firepower.

Which was also within Lin Yue’s calculations.

The sniper rifles on the machine dogs were exact replicas of his L115A3 sniper rifle, capable of hitting targets accurately from 1.6 kilometers away, with a maximum range of two kilometers.

Currently, Lin Yue had tested this gun for a maximum range of up to 2.5 kilometers, but he set it for the machine dogs at the relatively subtle number of 1.5 kilometers.

Once within 1.5 kilometers, the machine dogs would start shooting.

Outside of 1.5 kilometers, the machine dogs would adhere to Lin Yue’s setting and wouldn’t fire.

But if the enemy truly believed the range was only this 1.5 kilometers...

Then, they’d be in for a surprise with the storm of bullet rain extending even to a range of 2.5 kilometers!

A trap is only a trap when it makes the enemy let their guard down and fall into it.

As for the second layer of traps...

Of course, there are some.

The medium electric guard machine gun platform has a range from 5 to 200 meters, a fairly interesting distance for shooting.

It won’t fire beyond 200 meters, but once within range, it will shred anything into pieces with its frenzied hail of bullets.

Used alone, indeed it’s not much. But if the machine dogs are set with the closest firing distance, then?

Lin Yue’s set closest firing distance is...

meters.

Once the Lizardmen, through repeatedly tunneling underground, managed to bypass the shortest shooting distance of the sniper rifles, they would enter this second layer of Lin Yue’s trap.

The Lizardmen would gather massively within the region inside 400 meters, and upon attempting to charge further to reach 200 meters, they’d be shredded into meat by the guard machine gun platform.

And when they frantically flee beyond 400 meters...

The sniper rifles would then hammer them from 400 meters to 1.5 kilometers, rendering them completely in disarray!

And when they finally regroup beyond 1.5 kilometers, he would adjust those machine dogs to activate the 2.5 km mode!

kilometer, that’s quite a significant difference...

By then, it would indeed be a welcome to Hell for the Lizardmen.

This new tactic wasn’t just a sudden flash of insight; it was a more effective method of killing enemies derived after the morning’s battle.

Currently, at the main Shelter, there are as many as 50 machine dogs; adding the newly produced 40 of them, there basically isn’t much of a problem in terms of numbers.

Each machine dog has a magazine of 200 rounds, so if each shot hits, it could make 18,000 Lizardmen come and never return.

"If more machine dogs can be manufactured, there will be even more effective ways to strike the enemy."

Speaking of another way, Lin Yue suddenly thought of something.

He took out the system tablet, found Fei Yue, and clicked on the chatbox to take a photo and send it: "Check it out, there’s work to do."

Fei Yue replied quickly: "See you in an hour."

Although he could completely handle such matters himself, out of consideration, he thought it necessary to call upon an ally.

He was keen to know what combat ability this ally actually possessed.

As for another reason...

Fei Yue had already given the answer he considered most perfect.

Looking at the system tablet, there were a little over three hours till nightfall.

This day has indeed been long.

Through the sighting scope, the Lizardmen had already retreated to 1.5 kilometers, seemingly waiting for more large troops to gather, or planning to act at night.

However, they would eventually wait for an opportunity to launch a major assault or tunnel to breach the machine dogs’ firing, then reach the "net" between 400 meters and 200 meters.

But Lin Yue, at this moment, decided to take some risks.

Once Fei Yue and the others arrived, he would see how they performed, and decide after.

Time passed second by second, and the Lizardmen still hadn’t made any further moves.

After watching from above and determining there was nothing much to do, Lin Yue went below to prepare for something else.

He instructed the Little Ice Lizards to take a break while Lin Yue let Bai, Little Meng, and Little Six eat something to replenish their strength.

"Later, you two take the Little Ice Lizards to prepare for battle, Bai, last time you didn’t participate much in the fight, perhaps you felt unfulfilled?"

"Gawu!" Bai nodded heavily, recalling that morning when Lin Yue ordered it not to take any risks despite recovering well. It felt quite envious watching Little Meng easily take down the Poison Celestial Dragon.

Now, wearing the combat suit, it stood upright like a little General, currently petitioning Lin Yue for a chance to fight!

"Alright, once Fei Yue and the others arrive, if the situation seems unsustainable, you will be responsible for cleaning up the remaining Lizardmen!"

"Gawu!"

Bai wagged its tail happily, filled with anticipation for the upcoming battle.

The Little Ice Lizards and Little Meng focused on eating, while Bai followed Lin Yue into the glass greenhouse.

It seemed that Bai was already full in the greenhouse, hence it wasn’t eating with the others.

"I’ll have to check your progress."

Lin Yue patted the little one’s arm and suddenly realized it seemed larger than before; its entire height appeared a bit more stretched.

An illusion?

There had been quite some time since the last molting.

Could Bai still be growing?

To think, this little guy standing three meters tall was five to six meters long including the tail. Moreover, Lin Yue noticed something seemed to be protruding from both sides of Bai’s forehead.

No way...

He shook his head.

"Gawu!" Bai dashed to a large planting box, shaking its big paw, seemingly showcasing its achievement to Lin Yue.

"Oh? Nice job, looks pretty good!"

Lin Yue saw seventy tropical fruit seedlings and small trees neatly planted in the new large planting boxes, each looking quite good.

Although the pineapple pot seemed a bit large, the others didn’t seem out of place, fitting quite well.

Lin Yue glanced around; Bai and others even cleaned up all the soil. Despite such a massive task, the cleanliness was beyond Lin Yue’s expectations.

"You’re pretty capable, all of you." Lin Yue stored the remaining humus nutrient soil in the Storage Space and found more than half of it left.

Enough to cover a few more planting platforms.

It’d be a nice warm-up for the Little Ice Lizards; they can’t always just be in battle or just go fight.

Of course, battle is necessary, but other things shouldn’t be neglected.

Production, gathering, exploration.

These activities, no matter which one, are the guarantees for survival in the Otherworld!
