Freeloading Feels Good

Snow flew around and fell on the ground, covering all the shelters in this foreign world with a layer of white mixed with some red.

The bone-chilling wind wreaked havoc in the entire world, and the temperature kept falling.

The summer-like heat before disappeared like an illusion.

The snow was also silently reaping lives.

Countless mutated creatures rushed in crazily after sensing warmth in the direction of the shelter in the snow, making the survivors who had finally managed to warm themselves turn cold forever.

Some survivors ran out and ate snow, but they lost consciousness in pain and confusion.

There were even survivors who burned too much fire and ignited the shelter, causing a ball of flames to appear in the snow…

Snow did not pity or show mercy. It just kept falling.

From a few centimeters to tens of centimeters and half a meter, the snow continued to pile on the ground.

Some shelters could not withstand the weight of the snow and collapsed loudly!

The sky gradually brightened while the snow continued to fall like rain.

In the wasteland, a shelter was in a completely different state from other shelters.

Steam emitted from the stone roof, and a long wisp of smoke rose into the sky from the chimney.

There was not even a speck of snow on the roof.

Around the shelter, dozens of larger mutated creatures were trembling, almost leaning their entire bodies against the wall for warmth.

Beside them were countless corpses of mutated creatures. Some had stepped into the traps and were struggling at death's door, while others were bitten to death because they wanted to snatch the heat around the shelter.

Many mutated insects were eating these corpses.

Lin Yue stretched lazily.

He had a good sleep last night, but it was too hot. If not for the cold air coming from the basement, the temperature would probably be even higher.

It seemed like he had put too much firewood in the fireplace. He had to be careful tonight. Otherwise, he would probably faint from the heat.

"Puji! Puji!"

Xiaobai, who had just woken up, was still shouting at the door with a fighting posture.

"What's wrong, Xiaobai? Is there an enemy?" Lin Yue immediately put on his clothes and the wooden armor. At the same time, he raised his iron spear.

"Puji!" Xiaobai continued to shout at the stone door.

Lin Yue knew very well that this little guy's ability to sense the enemies was strong. Previously, in the secret realm, it could sense the bird-like creature in advance. Now, there was probably a mutated creature outside!

"Xiaobai, get ready!"

"Puji!" Xiaobai hid by the door, and its small body bulged.

He took a deep breath and grabbed the handle of the stone door with his left hand, gently pulling it out a crack. At the same time, Xiaobai blew out an icy breath at the crack that was less than twenty centimeters long!

"Aouuuu aaouuu!!"

A cry rang out. At the same time as a strong force hit the stone door, the iron spear in Lin Yue's hand stabbed forward!

In an instant, a decapitated frozen wolf head appeared at the door!

[You have obtained a copper treasure chest.]

There were indeed mutated creatures!

Lin Yue immediately closed the stone door and used the keystone to lock it.

Almost at the same time, the stone wall emitted sounds of collision!

Bloody hell, how many were there outside?

Lin Yue thought for a moment and figured out the reason.

It should be quite cold outside, so these mutated creatures came to his shelter to warm themselves!

"Puji!"

Xiaobai continued to shout, as if it wanted Lin Yue to open the door again.

"Xiaobai, can you use Frost Breath again?" Lin Yue took out a skewer of mutton and handed it to Xiaobai to replenish its energy.

The inventory was much better than the fridge. The mutton was still steaming when he took it out.

Xiaobai blew a small mouthful of Frost Breath to cool the meat. After swallowing it, it instantly became much more energetic and its desire to fight became stronger.

Lin Yue opened the door gently again. At the same time, the shadow outside was frozen by Xiaobai!

[You have obtained a Silver Treasure Chest.]

Lin Yue's iron spear cut off the head of the mutated creature that wanted to enter the door. The treasure chest that dropped was actually a silver treasure chest!

Oh, that was easy!

He closed the stone door again, and the sound of collision sounded again.

He had gotten a hold of a BUG.

"Xiaobai, can you continue?"

"Puji!"

"Then let's continue!"

Lin Yue repeated this process twice more. Xiaobai was finally exhausted, and he also had exhausted a lot of energy.

There were still many mutated creatures outside.

Lin Yue wanted to go out and take a look. He also wanted to pick up the three copper and silver treasure chests that had fallen outside.

The slamming sounds continued. Lin Yue saw that the durability of the shelter was rapidly decreasing.

However, just as he was checking the status of the shelter, a notice appeared.

[You can use materials to restore the durability of the shelter.]

Was there such a hint before?

Lin Yue threw in a stone and its durability instantly recovered by 10 points.

He used five stones in a row. The shelter could resist for a while.

However… he was almost out of stones.

If these mutated creatures continued to hit the walls and the door, he would have to buy some stones.

Bang! Bang!

How annoying.

Lin Yue fed some meat to Xiaobai. "Do you still have strength?"

"Puji…" Xiaobai seemed to be weak and lay on the ground lazily.

It had already done its best by using Frost Breath four times.

However, it was indeed not a good idea to continue to rely on Xiaobai.

Although Lin Yue had the urge to rush out and chase these annoying mutated creatures away, his rationality told him that that was definitely not possible.

He did not have the capital to be reckless.

Now, he was just an ordinary person with a weapon. He was not someone who had been in the army or a martial arts practitioner who had received strict training. Blindly going out would only be courting death.

He did not even know how many mutated creatures were outside and how powerful they were.

Wait, there seems to be something that can observe those mutated creatures.

Lin Yue went to the basement and looked through the things he had obtained from the secret realm.

Plexiglas!

He looked at the thing that had been gathering dust—the wooden window frame.

Could these two things be combined to make a window?

He approached the two.

[You have obtained a wooden window (Plexiglas) blueprint.]

As expected!

Lin Yue immediately used the blueprint.

[Wooden window: Wooden window frame x1, Plexiglas x1]

He immediately clicked on manufacture and a new item the size of a square meter appeared in Lin Yue's inventory!

The next step was to decide where to place it.

He returned to the ground shelter and looked around before looking up.

Fighting on the roof seemed to be his forte?
