The dark sky, the icy air... and the ground with a lot of metal debris piled up.

Star Wanderer is flying slowly in such a place, observing the world.

Well, let's go there and take a look.

Seeing a pile of hills in front of him, Star Wanderer flew over.

This hill is also formed by the accumulation of a large number of debris, but there are many relatively complete debris here, so you can see their original appearance.

The Star Wanderer stretched out his tentacles and grabbed a metal structure on the hill. Only half of this thing was left, and it could be seen that it was the side of a mechanical structure.

In fact, most of the metal scraps here are the remains of such mechanical structures, and Lin thinks they look a lot like those mechanical structures made by Se.

Moreover, there are many of them. On the ground here, the hills that are nearly 100 meters high are entirely composed of the remains of these structures.

Although this looks like the effect of war, Lin has a feeling...they haven't actually experienced any major war. This place is more like a 'garbage dump' than a battlefield. The mechanical metals here are all abandoned. thing.

Occasionally the wind blows over this waste-laden plain*, and a lot of dust is thrown up.

As Lin thought about it, the sky became darker and darker. Although the sky here was already dark, some light could still be seen.

But now, I can no longer see this light. It seems that the sky has been completely covered by something, just like a cloud, but Lin thinks it is not a cloud.

When the sky becomes completely dark. It's also getting colder here. Lin mentioned that the air and temperature here are not suitable for Se's life.

But they turned out to be living in that kind of world. So it is possible to adapt to the environment here.

After all, this place is not completely devoid of living resources. The biggest question is... How did Se come here?

'Whoa...'

Just as Lin was thinking about it, the sky covered by darkness made a sound, as if it was raining, and countless small things scattered from the sky.

These small things... Although they are not raindrops, it seems that it cannot be completely said that they do not belong to rain.

Because it contains a lot of debris, Lin found that the spilled things contained liquid and a lot of debris. And lots of...microbes.

These microorganisms are also diverse, including multicellular and single-celled organisms, which flew to the earth with the dust from the sky, and also covered the surface of Star Wanderer.

Lin carefully studied the types of these microorganisms. The microorganisms here and the microorganisms in the Nucleus Protector's Land have some similar types.

This shows that there is a connection here and there.

Lin thinks...there is such a possibility.

'Boom! ’

Suddenly, Lin heard a... relatively loud voice, because it has always been quiet here, and a slightly louder voice felt quite 'novel'.

I saw something drilled out under the hills not far ahead.

This thing is three meters tall and about five meters long. It looks like a mechanical construct with six limbs. The shape is almost identical to Se.

This is the same structure that Se used to ride on. Could it be that there is still a living Se here?

After the structure climbed out, the same sound was heard around it, and a large number of structures emerged from the metal fragments covering the ground, slowly crawling on the ground.

It seems that they originally lived underground here, but they came out when the sky 'rained', maybe they were waiting for a huge amount of microorganisms to fall from the sky, and then collected the 'rainwater' containing the microorganisms and took it back as food.

However, Lin seems to have guessed wrong.

These structures crawled slowly on the ground, and they occasionally raised their heads to look, but when they saw the huge star wanderer floating in the air, they did not have any special reaction, but continued to slowly climb forward moving.

It's weird...it doesn't make sense to see such a big star wanderer and not respond unless...

Star Wanderer flew lower, stretched out tentacles under him, and grabbed a structure on the ground.

The moment it was caught, it struggled frantically, scratching the tentacles of the Star Wanderer with its sharp metal claws.

The Star Wanderer ignored its attack and stretched out more tentacles to disassemble it bit by bit. When Lin disassembled the structure into ordinary metal parts, she found that it contained… …empty.

There's no Seo operating inside, not even the 'cockpit' part, this construct is a purely automatic machine.

That's why they didn't respond to Star Wanderers, but there are so many automatic machines here, so maybe Se is making them continuously.

But what exactly is the purpose of making them...

Just when Lin was thinking about it, she suddenly found that there was a sound coming from another place. On the ground several hundred meters away from the group of structures, the metal debris there was also turned over, and there were also a large number of them. Constructs are drilled out of it.

These structures look different from what they first saw. They only have four limbs and are only about two meters tall. Although they are smaller, they are very numerous, almost three times the number of the original six-limbed structures.

After they got out, they happened to be looking at each other face to face. The moment they saw each other, they all stopped moving and just stared at each other like that.

This process... lasted for dozens of seconds.

Then, they suddenly rushed towards each other frantically! The distance of hundreds of meters between the two sides disappeared in a short period of time, and the large and small structures collided together, and they attacked each other with their 'weapons' at the same time.

Their weapons include claws, mouths, and tails and other structures. They are basically thorns, bites, and collisions. They don't look like they are equipped with other weapons.

During their fight, more constructs emerged from the ground and joined the fight.

It's a massive battle, and these constructs are all mixed up and attacking frantically, but their attack methods are limited, and the other side's defense is too strong for both sides.

Therefore, it lasted for a long time, and the number of 'dead and wounded' was quite small, and this battle lasted for a long time...for a long time...

... just like that, several days and nights of pom-pom passed.

These constructs are still fighting on the ground, and the sound of their impact continues to reverberate. The constructs that were damaged in the battle are still twitching on the ground, and the movements of the constructs that are still fighting are also became slow.

Continued attrition makes them sluggish, and no new constructs join the fight.

Lin estimates that they will end the battle in a few days and nights...

This battle doesn't seem to make any sense, but they should always have some special purpose, and the makers of these things are obviously hidden under this ground.

Before their battle was over, Lynn investigated... where they came out.

Star Wanderer's tentacles turned over a large number of metal scraps and reached into the depths of the ground to explore what was inside...

It seems that the metal debris is buried quite deep.

And the depths of these metal scraps are a warmer space than the cold ground.

Inside, there are more microorganisms, and they seem to like the space full of gaps.

A large number of metal fragments were accumulated here, and they were buried to a depth of tens of meters. Only then did Lin discover what was not debris.

It seems... this is an underground building. This building is very large, and it is difficult to say what shape it is. Lin cut off the root of the tentacles of the Star Wanderer and let it start exploring underground as a separate worm-shaped unit.

Soon, it found the entrance of the building. The entrance was a circular door structure, and it was tightly closed, which made Lin feel a bit like the structure of the shelters in Atlan.

Are those who made the structures hidden here?

The worm penetrated the entrance door and got in. The moment she entered, Lin saw a wide passage.

Sure enough, it looks like a shelter, but the two sides of this passage are covered with metal parts, and there are lights at the top. Following the passage, the worms slowly crawled into the depths of the building.

Occasionally, rooms are found on both sides of the passage, but these rooms are filled with a large number of structural parts.

Unlike the debris on the outside, the parts here are complete and should be easily assembled into constructs, other than that there are places like energy rooms.

Everything here is different from the outside. It seems to be kept intact and clean. Lin found that there seems to be no living room here, but everything here is working continuously.

'Boom...'

There was a sound in front of Lin, and this seemed to be a place that could be called an assembly room.

There is a constantly running thing called a 'conveyor belt', and many parts are put on the conveyor belt and brought here from other places,

A large number of robotic arms are constantly moving on the conveyor belt, they assemble piece after piece, and those assembled parts are sent to other places along the conveyor belt.

It seems that everything here works automatically... The structures outside should be assembled here. Although the machinery on the conveyor belt is only partially, it can be seen how they are assembled.

Next, Lin continued to explore other places. In general, this is a 'factory' that constantly assembles structures.

Lin thinks that there should be Se, but no trace of Se has been found so far, whether it is bone or alive, but some records left by them have been found... (To be continued. . . )
