Global Wasteland: I Obtained A Top Tier Shelter

The rain poured down.

Violent thunder roared from the distance in bursts.

In the darkness, Lin Yue opened his eyes once again, listening to Bai's now much more relaxed breathing, the dense raindrops hitting the shelter, and the thunder. He wondered how long it had been since that time until now.

The pounding and crashing of the Monster Winged Dragon had existed before the rain fell, but now they were mixed with the rain and thunder, completely indistinguishable.

Lin Yue didn't know what he was waiting for.

Perhaps for Bai to recover, or for the night to pass quickly, or for the rain to stop, or for the Monster Winged Dragon to leave.

Perhaps for Levik to arrive, or for some Survivor to stumble by.

Perhaps, for some miracle...

But now, he had done all he could do.

The rest could only be left to time.

He got out of bed, walked to the door.

He felt the mix of medical alcohol and iodine still lingering in the shelter, pressing his ear against the door.

Rain, thunder.

The sticky sound of some unknown thing and bizarre cries, along with the continuous pitter-patter of quick footsteps.

Outside, it was already night, of this he was certain.

And in this Secret Realm, it seemed just as dangerous as the Otherworld at night.

If he simply opened the door and stepped out, perhaps what awaited him was sudden death.

The shelter turned out to be the safest place here.

He no longer knew how long he had been asleep since then.

The feeling of spending another night in this Secret Realm was hard to describe as good, yet Lin Yue didn't find it worthy of remembrance either.

He turned back towards the bed, towards the sound of Bai breathing, a sense of confusion welling up inside him.

The despair he had only just managed to overcome was now replaced by a new negative emotion.

Darkness is like this, causing fear, leading to needless associations.

It makes people easily fall into such negative feelings.

And that's why there is fire.

Human ancestors discovered fire, used fire, only then dispelling the fear and unknown in the pitch darkness.

Lin Yue took out a torch, lit it, and placed it in a corner of the shelter.

The indoor temperature rose slightly, and the light it brought gradually dispersed the shadows in Lin Yue's heart.

He sat before the firelight, watching Bai's outline appear, hugging his knees and waiting.

"Snap."

Just like a sound determined to echo at this time, it suddenly rang out.

Lin Yue sprang to his feet, rushing to where the sound came from.

Bai!

Lin Yue stroked its head, suddenly feeling a tumult from within its body, an indescribable surge of immense energy!

"Snap."

Lin Yue felt around Bai's nostrils, suddenly finding something unusual here.

"This is..."

At this moment, he couldn't help but feel excited inside.

"Snap!"

This time the sound was even crisper than before, and thereafter, continuous sounds began ringing out in the shelter!

Lin Yue felt the tiny miracle happening on Bai's body, the original gloom completely swept away!

The tearing sound gradually replaced the continuous explosive sounds, and the white dragon, who had always been asleep, now raised its head once more.

Though it hadn't opened its eyes, it could feel the warmth from its master, sense the companionship during its slumber.

"Grr..." Bai's muscles bulged, amidst the white, bursting outer skin, two strands of light green intertwined from its back, spreading to its formerly not so strong wings.

And as that gradually tearing sound reached its climax, it played the most magnificent symphony!

"Grr!" Bai's low roar was filled with vigorous strength, and within this strength lay a powerful energy derived from endless "bond"!

It gradually stood up using its now stronger hind limbs, and that much elongated tail swung, even growing a tail blade as sharp as a spearhead!

The thick white outer skin constantly peeled off and was replaced by a stronger, more formidable new body!

Its wings suddenly spread open, now much broader than before, and more powerful, allowing it to fly longer and farther.

In the firelight, Bai's head had already reached the over three-meter-high ceiling of the shelter, yet its overall appearance was more slender, like a true silver dragon.

Its ruby-like brilliant eyes finally opened as the last piece of skin shed, looking at its master, who was overjoyed by its transformation, lowering its proud head.

"Bai, you were shedding after all, haha. You scared me." Lin Yue hugged Bai's head for a long time, not letting go.

He originally did not know what "bond" was; starting from the orphanage, he had been alone.

Like a cold pine tree growing alone on a mountaintop.

No parents, no relatives, and not adopted by anyone.

Neglected emotionally, isolated environmentally, he gradually rejected everything within his ever-locked heart.

Including kindness, including that warmest portion of human sentiment.

Before entering this Otherworld, he always thought he would go on like this; after all, it wasn't bad.

But now, after forming this precious "bond" with Bai, he found his previously icy heart melting significantly.

A human cannot live alone.

A human cannot live apart from emotions.

Lin Yue finally understood a bit of this truth at this moment.

The lone wolf might always remain a lone wolf.

But perhaps, this lone wolf will be different from before.

At some unknown point in time.

The thunder stopped, and the rain gradually ceased.

"Growl..." The sound from Bai's belly made Lin Yue unable to hold back his laughter.

"Hungry, aren't you, you food lover? Look, eat them all, eat more!" Lin Yue took out all the grilled lamb ribs, fried meat chunks, and lion-headed bear meat steaks he had. The canonical source for this content: M|V|L2EMPYR.

He piled them in front of Bai, an indescribable joy surging sincerely.

Having evolved again, the expressions on Bai's face seemed much richer than before.

Lin Yue noticed that, in the firelight, Bai's face also seemed to carry a hint of what looked like a "smile."

It grabbed a piece of lion-headed bear meat, holding it up with both arms for Lin Yue.

"Haha, of course I'll eat. Why don't we see who can eat more?"

"Grr!" Bai patted its chest with its paw, looking as if it was sure to win.

"Oh, when did you learn that, you little devil?"

"Grr!" Bai swallowed a lamb rib without any courtesy, and its lively energy also made the shelter feel warmer.

Unknowingly, the ground became piled with leftover bones.

On the ground, there was also an overstuffed human and dragon who could only lie down, unable to get up.

The sun drove away the rain clouds, and a new day arrived at this moment.

Bai opened the stone door, and together with its master Lin Yue, stepped outside.

In the gentle and warm sunlight, the Ancient Secret Realm Gate stood ahead.

This night spent in the Secret Realm was deep and long.

The sun will always rise, and the darkness will eventually dissipate.

This is the moment of hope rising, the time of illuminating the future.

"Let's go, Bai, show Levik what true power is!"
