Chapter 1051 City?
"You must proceed with caution..."
In the dark passage, six skeleton dwarfs were moving carefully.
There was thick mist around, and countless debris were flying, and the main source of these debris was... the walls of the passage.
The originally smooth walls now seemed to have been corroded and were covered with pits and pits.
These traces represent the source of the thick fog in the passage... The debris that formed the thick fog came from the wall. It seemed that something had broken the wall into countless debris, and these debris also floated in the air and did not fall. On the ground, a dense fog filled the passages.
But what does it do?
The skeleton gnomes did not study it. They were moving forward wholeheartedly. Although they found traces of potholes on the surrounding walls, they did not pay attention to them.
They seemed to be eager to reach this passage... It seemed that they had already arrived, and the skeleton gnomes stopped.
Appearing in front of them was another round door, but this time they did not need to blow up the door because the door was already half open, and the thick fog around the door also appeared very thin, which made the missiles fired from the dwarf skull The light can illuminate the scene behind the half-open door.
It was a vast space, and the ground was still covered by reflective objects like metal plates. It remained almost smooth and intact, and was not full of potholes like the walls of the passage.
This also means that there is not much thick fog in this space, only some debris floating from the passage.
But on the ground of this space, there is a scene very similar to the one at the entrance - the 'bodies' of skeletal dwarfs are all over the ground, and it seems that they suffered the same fate as the entrance.
This made the skeleton dwarfs even more frightened, but they still moved forward and stepped into the vast space.
The dwarf walking at the front illuminated the surroundings with light, while the five companions behind him spread out to study the... corpses on the ground.
The condition of these corpses is the same as before, except that the sphere containing the brain has been removed. The main reason why it is said that it was removed rather than destroyed is that there are no traces of attack inside.
So it feels like it was dug out intact. What kind of creature or thing could do this? Here when under attack. These patrols were completely unaware...
However, Lin is mainly paying attention to the surrounding environment. This location... is already considered the inside of their city.
This place looks like a... square, about a hundred meters in diameter, and there are no buildings or anything like that in this open space. There were only corpses everywhere, and some large machinery that fell to the ground with the corpses.
The city of skeleton gnomes is composed of multiple underground spaces of different sizes connected by passages.
The general space is filled with buildings, but there are no buildings in this kind of space on the edge of the city. It seems that it is because it is... not yet under construction.
The large machinery that can be seen here are all used for construction projects. But after this incident, these machines were as motionless as the corpses on the ground.
"Why is this happening...?"
The six skeleton dwarfs who came in were completely stunned when they saw the scenery in front of them... They no longer knew what to do, so they all stayed in a daze.
Indeed, after patrolling outside for a while, he came back and found that his city had become like this, which was a huge blow to these creatures.
However, regardless of whether the blow they received was serious or not, Lin's exploration will still continue, and it may take a while for them to recover from their current state, so...
At the entrance of the passage, a pom-pom flew in.
This pom-pom was also one of the pom-poms Lin used to explore the underground. It followed the skeleton gnomes to this underground city. This pom-pom was hidden, so it was not noticed by the skeleton gnomes. It flew out of the passage and came into this space.
When the dwarfs were still in the stage of not knowing what to do,
Lin let the pom-poms go around them and started exploring first... let's explore this square-like vast place first.
In addition to the corpses on the ground in this square, the large machines were more obvious. After a little inspection of the corpses on the ground, the pom-pom flew in front of a large machine.
These machines are also skeleton-shaped machines. The shape is very similar to the 'elephant bone' on the outside, but there are some differences. The most obvious difference is that there is a 'cockpit' inside.
The cockpit is small, just about the size of the brain ball inside a skeleton dwarf's head. Therefore, the way dwarfs operate these large machines is to take out their brains and stuff them inside.
But now there is no brain in these cockpits, and it seems that the brain was suddenly taken away during operation, and the building materials originally transported by the machine are scattered all over the floor.
However, the creature that took away their brains did not leave any traces, and of course it was not certain whether it was a creature or not.
After looking here for a while. Lin found that the status of each machine was basically the same, so Lin let the pom-poms fly to the walls around the square.
There are many passage entrances on the wall, which lead to different areas in the city.
Soon, Lin found an area she wanted to go to. This area was called the 'teaching area', where you should be able to see history and so on.
Those patrols had never entered the teaching area, and they knew very little about history. Lin had to go and see for herself.
The entrance door here is a circular door with a diameter of three meters. Unlike the previous one, the door here can be opened 'manually'.
The pom-pom stretched out its fluff and poked a small hole in the center of the door. Suddenly the door made a roaring sound and slowly... opened.
‘Bang! ’ The moment the door opened, a huge amount of thick fog poured out, instantly wrapping the pom-pom inside.
This is...a micro machine.
The thick fog pouring out from behind the door is composed of micromachines, but it is not completely micromachines. There are also a lot of other debris mixed in it.
And these micro-machines are now...inactive. They are all motionless. This is mainly because these machines have no tasks.
The sound of the pom-pom opening the door attracted the skeleton dwarfs, who immediately ran over here, and Lin immediately let the pom-pom fly into the passage.
This passage is the same as the one that came in before, filled with... thick fog, except that the thick fog here is mixed with micro-machines, and there are no... scars on the walls of the passage.
No matter which passage it is, these thick fogs are very strange...
Several skeleton dwarfs did not enter the passage, but stayed at the entrance. They seemed very scared now. The pom-pom opening the passage door was a very...frightening thing for them.
Because they didn't know what opened it... the pom-poms easily reached the other end of the passage, which was the teaching area.
Opening the exit of the passage, Lin could see... the scenery inside the teaching area. It was a very broad square like the previous place, but in the square, there were many neatly arranged columns.
These columns are more than two meters in diameter and connect the ground and the top. These columns are actually where they learn.
Skeleton dwarfs learn by taking off their brains, placing them on these cylinders, and then receiving a steady stream of information.
Even if those skeleton dwarfs had never been here before, they still knew the general situation here. The pom-pom flew to the nearest column.
You can see that there are many holes of the same size on the surface of this cylinder. These holes were originally used to place the brain.
The holes are now empty, and it appears that no gnomes were studying here at the time of the incident.
But it is more likely that the brains of the dwarfs studying here were dug out after the incident.
No matter which side it is on, the column here has not been damaged, so Lin can still know something through it...
Thinking about it, the pom-pom put the fluff in the holes on the surface of the cylinder...
The pom-poms can mimic the brain of a skeletal dwarf by sending and receiving signals to observe all the information stored inside the cylinder.
Although Lin planned to read the history of these skeleton dwarfs, she had not done so yet. Lin first looked at recent events.
Because this column also had a surveillance function, Lin slightly adjusted the latest time, and soon she found... the scene before any problems occurred.
At that time, there were many students studying in this teaching area. Their brains were mounted on the pillars, and the entire space was very bright.
Lin adjusted the time slightly, and suddenly, Lin saw something wonderful happening here...
The entire space suddenly slowly filled with fog. The fog increased rapidly and soon obscured all the scenery in the entire place.
Lin's perspective is located on a certain pillar, but it is not limited to any one pillar and can be adjusted to all pillars in the entire room.
But no matter which pillar Lin adjusts her perspective to, all she sees is thick fog...
It can be said that thick fog filled the entire teaching area. After lasting for a thousand seconds... Lin found that the light here had also dimmed.
It was as if the thick fog had turned off the lights.
However, these perspectives can still see the surrounding environment clearly, but they can only see the dark environment clearly and cannot penetrate the dense fog.
Lin noticed that the thick fog around her began to thin slowly after three thousand seconds, and then began to disappear bit by bit.
The thick fog didn't drift somewhere, but simply disappeared into the sky... It looks like this in the images recorded here.
Also, the learning brains that were originally mounted on the pillars also disappeared. (To be continued.)
