Global Wasteland: I Obtained A Top Tier Shelter-Chapter 722 - 487 Lily Kalahao

So far, there’s indeed only one way for all of humanity to completely escape this so-called apocalypse survival game and see a glimmer of hope.

And that is to kill the colossal Mythical Giant Beast entrenched in the Secret Realm, also known as Earth!

After killing the Mythical Giant Beast, the system will make a special determination.

That is, there will be a so-called "purification" of the entire city-wide area!

The meaning of this "purification" is to completely eradicate the Secret Realm Beasts within that area.

In other words, even if there are tens of millions of them inside, they will be completely eliminated by the system’s so-called "rules."

And after that, no more Secret Realm Beasts will enter the area.

Last time, after he killed that enormous Mythical Giant Beast around the tower in Tokyo City, the aftermath flooded a large area, and he even started a fire to eliminate more Secret Realm Beasts.

Based on later system feedback, it was likely that the fire had burned both the Secret Realm Beasts and Tokyo to ashes.

Although the system later confirmed that all Secret Realm Beasts would have died even without the fire, Lin Yue didn’t regret it.

However, this time, he indeed had to be careful not to overdo it.

"By the way, Fei Yue, what was that conscious matter you mentioned about the Lizardmen?" Lin Yue suddenly remembered. Even if defeating the Lizardmen can’t save all of humanity, it wouldn’t hurt to have more information and intelligence about them.

Especially since Fei Yue mentioned that Lizardmen mostly don’t stay in Underground Ruins, which piqued his curiosity.

"Regarding that matter... Lin Yue, I feel like you’ll be surprised by what I’ll say." Fei Yue spoke with a mysterious tone.

Lin Yue didn’t like this way of speaking and remained silent.

"Well, alright, actually, we captured three beggars."

"Prisoners?" Lin Yue raised his eyebrows.

The last time Fei Yue brought back prisoners, nothing good happened.

"Yes, prisoners, but unlike last time, I didn’t blindfold them because they would escape. So, just in case, I directly disabled their eyes this time."

Fei Yue said, shaking his head. 𝗳𝚛𝗲𝕖𝕨𝕖𝗯𝚗𝚘𝕧𝕖𝗹.𝗰𝗼𝕞

Despite not wanting to do it.

But, if one is indecisive, nothing can be done.

He’s suffered enough losses in this regard, and this time, he didn’t want to repeat the same mistakes.

So, he acted personally to eliminate future problems.

"Well done." Lin Yue expressed his approval of Fei Yue’s approach, thinking Fei Yue would make the same foolish mistakes as before.

If another Lizardman attack were to occur, Fei Yue might suffer losses.

After all, this is a Refugee Village of a thousand people, completely different from the past.

The previous two or three hundred had more combat power and cohesion than now.

And with the population explosion, Fei Yue had more to consider.

If they were forced to relocate again, it would truly be devastating.

"Haha, I figured you would do the same thing if it were you... But with these three people, I managed to extract some unexpected information, Lin Yue, can you guess how it was done?"

Fei Yue spoke mysteriously, looking at Lin Yue.

This time, Lin Yue did not remain silent as before but pondered for a moment.

"Prisoner’s dilemma?" He recalled a concept he had seen before.

This refers to a special game theory involving two captured prisoners, explaining that maintaining cooperation is difficult even when cooperation benefits both parties.

For example, when two accomplices are imprisoned and can’t communicate with each other.

If neither betrays the other, they each serve one year due to uncertain evidence;

If one betrays while the other remains silent, the betrayer is released for providing help, while the silent one is jailed for ten years for non-cooperation;

If both betray, they both serve eight years due to conclusive evidence.

Prisoners fundamentally cannot trust each other, so they’re inclined to betray rather than remain silent together.

Ultimately, the observer of the game reaps the greatest benefits.

However, this method can’t be used repeatedly; otherwise, the prisoners will eventually rebuild trust, breaking the dilemma.

"That’s right, the prisoner’s dilemma; You Siyuan told me about this method. I didn’t know about it before, and it provided us with intelligence we hadn’t expected!"

"Oh?" Lin Yue was quite curious about what Fei Yue had learned.

"To put it simply, Lin Yue, your previous judgment about the so-called ’beggars’ wasn’t entirely correct, or rather, only partially correct." Fei Yue nodded to You Siyuan.

"Let me explain instead of our leader, who might be lacking in this area, to you, Lin Yue. It’s simple: the so-called ’beggars’ among the Lizardmen actually belong to two categories."

"Two categories... one ’beggar,’ and the other ’Survivor,’ right?" Lin Yue immediately understood.

It wasn’t what he previously thought, that beggars were just a name the Survivors called themselves.
