Chapter 227 - 228: This Time, It’s My Turn

The monster winged dragon squeezed into the shelter, before it could take its next action, quickly became a fiercely burning fireball under the attack of burning arrows!

Despite being forced into this shelter of only forty square meters, Lin Yue wasn’t panicked at all.

After dragging Bai to a safer part further inside, he immediately picked up the alloy tactical crossbow at his feet, letting this giant that had infiltrated know he still had combat power.

The smell of burnt and stench filled the room, Lin Yue deftly loaded the shotgun and aimed at the heads of several monster winged dragons frantically trying to squeeze in, firing another shot!

The bloody scent mixed with the smell of gunpowder filled this rather unreliable shelter, he endured the intense tinnitus as he put on the mechanical arm to drag the burning monster winged dragon out of the door.

The flames instantly ignited the corpses of several monster winged dragons at the entrance, causing them to burn fiercely.

Lin Yue pushed the stone door outward, secured the top stone, completely blocking their entry path.

But this didn’t make the monster winged dragons give up, they began to violently ram and impact the stone shelter, causing it to start becoming unstable.

Lin Yue took out a large amount of steel.

In the Otherworld, by embedding different materials into the shelter’s walls, one can create a shelter similar to "composite materials."

Just like during the earthquake disaster, he fused iron blocks with the stone shelter, successfully raising the shelter’s disaster resistance level by more than one level!

A large amount of steel was pushed to the edges of the wall, Lin Yue soon discovered they had fused into the walls!



And the sound of impacts outside grew smaller and deeper as he embedded more steel into the walls.

Lin Yue knew, that merely relying on these monster winged dragons, breaking through this place which could almost be called a "steel shelter," was impossible!

However, Lin Yue didn’t let down his guard because of this.

At present, it only guarantees that it won’t be easily breached, it’s not time to relax yet.

He turned on a flashlight, and took out other items from the storage space to continue treating Bai’s injuries.

Using a towel soaked in water, Lin Yue wiped off the dust and grime from Bai’s wounds, cleaned him again, and noticed Bai’s breathing seemed slightly more rapid than before.

He took out disinfecting alcohol, used a new towel to wipe Bai, and during this process, the sting of the alcohol made Bai shiver more than once.

"Bear with it, Bai, your injuries aren’t serious, but must be properly disinfected, you’ll be fine, you’ll be fine."

Lin Yue noticed, despite Bai’s physical response, his eyelids remained closed, not making a single sound.

He had fallen into a deep, restful sleep, completely unaware of his rather severe injuries.

After disinfecting the abrasions on Bai’s right side, Lin Yue also found that the heavy impact had left multiple swollen bruises on Bai’s body, causing him grief.

Perhaps Bai realized halfway through flying that he couldn’t make it, used all his strength to get here, or else he might have plummeted to the ground when he was flying at high altitude, resulting in a critical injury.

Lin Yue took out iodine, continuing to apply it to Bai’s wounds.

A single bottle of iodine was not enough; Lin Yue patiently wiped Bai without minding the increasingly dense knocking outside.

Ultimately, Lin Yue used four bottles of iodine, carefully checked Bai’s other areas, confirmed there were no more wounds, and began wrapping him in bandages.

Inside the sealed shelter, the smell of alcohol and iodine was intense, but he paid no attention, continuing to bandage Bai’s wounds.

Last time, Bai used all his strength to protect him, ultimately rescuing him from the Secret Realm during his constant high fever.

This time, it was his turn to save Bai.

Several rolls of bandages were used, Lin Yue finally wrapped all of Bai’s wounds, letting out a sigh of relief.

However, letting Bai lie on the cold ground was not a good idea.

Lin Yue took out two pieces of sheepskin.

He always kept these in the storage space for emergencies; at times he could use them as a concealed tool, and now they could serve as a mat for Bai to rest on.

Lin Yue placed the two pieces of sheepskin on the ground and once again put on the mechanical hand, which allowed him to easily lift things many times his weight, although using it with one hand was tricky, making him extremely careful while moving Bai.

After a bit of effort, Lin Yue finally repositioned Bai to a prone position on two layers of thick sheepskin. He felt exhausted, but ensuring Bai’s comfort made it worthwhile.

The pounding and crashing sounds outside continued, as if countless monster winged dragons were out there; Lin Yue didn’t want to know how many were there or how long they’d continue waiting.



He just knew he had to stay here with Bai, waiting for Bai to wake up.

When would it wake up?

At night, tomorrow morning? Or even later?

Lin Yue was no longer concerned.

If Levik really attacked the shelter, then he’d have to rely on Xiao Meng and the others to fend it off temporarily.

He couldn’t leave Bai alone in this Secret Realm, unsure of what might happen once he left.

Quickly removing the mechanical hand, exoskeleton, and bone armor, Lin Yue checked his own injuries.

In the end, he found that only around the right calf was vaguely bruised, other areas weren’t even scratched or cut.

However, the ringing in his ears persisted, with a soreness radiating near his right shoulder.

The shotgun had great power; at close range no other weapon could compare.

But its drawbacks were the loud noise and strong recoil.

"There’s only this one area-of-effect weapon, still not enough."

Lin Yue had very few area-of-effect weapons at his disposal.

The shotgun counted as one, and the crossbow carriage counted as half.

The crossbow carriage needed to reach a certain number to count as area-of-effect, given the enemies clustered and dense enough.

Additionally.

The intercontinental missile launcher can also count as one.

That thing, truthfully speaking, if there weren’t a usage limit, then he wouldn’t need to worry about any strong enemies coming.

Locating targets, pressing a button, resulting in an explosive devastation.

He took out a bed and lay on it.

Listening to the sounds outside like hail hitting glass, Lin Yue lay on his side looking at Bai, which hadn’t shown much change.

He reached over and touched Bai’s head again, it wasn’t hot.

How strange.

What in the world happened to it?

Why did it suddenly become so weak?



Why did it ultimately end up like this?

Lin Yue took out bottle after bottle of mineral water, pouring it on Bai.

Bai liked a moist environment; there’s a bathtub in the shelter, usually it would crawl in to get drenched and then run out.

But here in the Secret Realm, he could only rely on this method.

The flashlight’s power was flickering, seemingly about to run out.

Lin Yue turned it off, and in the darkness listened to Bai’s breathing, the knocking outside, eyes wide open.

If, Bai...

He restrained himself from thinking like this, yet couldn’t control it.

A sense of panic gradually spread.

Worry, loneliness, fear of loss...

Confused thoughts like this darkness.

Swallowed everything.
