Global Wasteland: I Obtained A Top Tier Shelter

The looming shadows in the distance drew nearer.

At this moment, the sky darkened from bright to dim.

As the rulers of the sky in this world, these monstrous creatures with horrifying giant beaks, resembling Earth's prehistoric flying reptiles from millions of years ago, had golden pupils filled with a thirst for slaughter, a craving to trample life!

The scent of thick, fresh blood attracted these hunters, who hadn't eaten for days, like moths to a flame.

To them, the sweet aroma mixed with blood and flesh was irresistible!

"Caw!"

The one at the front opened its mouth wide; it was the leader closest to the target, destined to be the first to savor the delicacy!

It flapped its wings vigorously, striving to widen its lead.

In this world, food is scarce and precious, and those who live the longest have the most privileges!

"Caw..."

With a peculiar sharp sound, it suddenly felt something inside being torn away by something small, accompanied by intense pain.

Its body was completely out of control; it wanted to flap its wings furiously but couldn't, and then it plummeted as if drained of all strength!

Before losing consciousness entirely, it saw its companions behind it also falling one by one, crashing onto the buildings below.

When its head hit the spire of the roof, it glimpsed a shadow in the direction of the target, continuously wielding a weapon emitting sharp sounds, harvesting its kind!

...

The magazine was ejected, a new one inserted; with practiced precision, Lin Yue fired the third round, either injuring or directly killing 18 of the monster winged dragons at the forefront!

Calmly changing the magazine again, after quickly dispatching six monster winged dragons to the ground, he promptly picked up the nearby alloy tactical crossbow loaded with burning arrows.

The enemy was already too close; no matter how quickly he fired, he couldn't keep up with their numbers.

A sniper rifle is useful at long distances, but at mid-to-long ranges, the crossbow arrow proves more effective!

Whoosh! Whoosh!

Two crossbow arrows shot out quickly, creating two fireballs in the sky!

Taking advantage of the alloy tactical crossbow's reloading pause, Lin Yue immediately grabbed the steel repeating crossbow beside him, also armed with burning arrows, naturally a formidable weapon of his!

With two crossbows alternating, each with a reloading time of only about a second, Lin Yue timed them precisely.

Moreover, he aimed for every arrow to hit its target, so the approaching monster winged dragons quickly turned into groups of fireballs plummeting to the ground.

But, Lin Yue also noticed.

Even so, his firepower was still insufficient to cover and eliminate all the monsters.

Though arrows rained down, there was still a significant shortfall.

The reloading time was fast, but only one arrow was shot at a time.

If an enemy came at one, one arrow was sufficient; two, a dual crossbow attack could intercept.

Three, four...with dozens diving in a group, Lin Yue's tactics became ineffective.

"Damn it!" Lin Yue had anticipated this situation; he pulled several blazing torches from the ground, waving them near Bai.

The monster winged dragons feared the flames, and under the intense burning fire, they began to circle high above the rooftop.

Yet, they were poised, aware that tearing into prey only required a moment's lapse!

Lin Yue's crossbow arrows continually fired, with over ten flames igniting in the sky, crashing like meteors to the ground. However, as the number of monster winged dragons increased, even with Lin Yue's efficiency, there seemed to be little effect.

Bai lay on the ground, unable to rise, seemingly unconscious; Lin Yue tried to stay calm, thinking tirelessly of solutions.

The enemy outnumbered them; the rooftop was far from the exit below, and distant from the Ancient Secret Realm Gate.

If the rooftop were dismantled, Bai would still plunge to the ground, and things wouldn't be much better than now.

But...

Lin Yue forced himself to calm down.

The sheer number of enemies made Lin Yue question why these monsters were so interested in them.

The ones lying dead on the ground—do you not like your own kind?

Suddenly, a monster winged dragon dove at Lin Yue, seemingly realizing that eliminating Lin Yue would remove the threat entirely.

Lin Yue leaped with his left foot, flipping on the ground, firing another crossbow arrow, turning the monster winged dragon into a fireball that fell from the roof.

Annoying, it's endless.

Lin Yue wondered if, when Bai evolved last time, he too faced countless strong foes alone, while his companion could not fight.

"I can't evolve, Bai," Lin Yue grinned slightly, a new weapon appearing in his hand, "I only have high-tech."

Though he wears no earmuffs now, he has no other choice at present.

These monster winged dragons were growing denser, only thirty or forty meters away from him, with just a few meters when diving; within this range, the M800 Shotgun would unleash maximum power!

"Come on, monster winged dragons, I'll send you to your afterlife with this shotgun!"

He grabbed a piece of tissue, rolled it into a ball and stuffed it into his ears, then raised his gun, letting his shoulder brace the stock, aiming at the densest cluster of monster winged dragons in the sky, firing at once!

Boom!

An ear-splitting roar erupted, and Lin Yue's shoulder reeled from the shotgun's powerful recoil!

A numbing sensation instantly made his entire arm feel broken, even unable to lift it.

This recoil...

The deafening sound left him dazed; Lin Yue quickly took a deep breath to steady his mind.

The impact of the blow was astonishing; roughly six monster winged dragons were killed or injured by the shot, crashing onto the rooftop or the ground below.

Ignoring his aching right arm, he raised the alloy tactical crossbow again, firing a burning arrow!

However, the shot was clearly affected by the numbness in his right arm; initially aimed at another, it ended up hitting a nearby luckier spectator.

No good, can't keep this up...

Lin Yue glanced at Bai, still unmoving.

He had to think of a way to move it to safety, like a shelter...hmm? Shelter?

Yes, shelter!

"Ground!" Another flaming arrow shot out as several monster winged dragons dove down!

"Endless!" Lin Yue raised the shotgun again, blasting away the monster winged dragons, riddling them!

Ignoring the ringing ears and severe shoulder pain, the green box before his eyes indicated the shelter is now selectable for construction!

"Build!"

With a flash of white light, a brand new stone shelter appeared beside Bai!

Donning his mechanical arm again, Lin Yue lifted Bai's upper body, kicked open the stone door, and ushered half of Bai's body inside!

However, the monster winged dragons realized Lin Yue's strange act might foil their plans; instead of merely circling as before, they all dived down!

Lin Yue hauled Bai's entire body into the shelter, while simultaneously a monster winged dragon blocked the entrance.

Its giant knife-like beak opened wide, rushing into the shelter!
