Chapter 1559 Wandering
"This is where we live. Novelん"
Lin's ball of fluff is following an Ershi resident to a... building.
This was originally a department store. It is said that they vacated all the department stores and transformed it into a residential area.
But this place doesn't look like a place to live, because when the pom-poms float here, you can see scattered things everywhere... scattered on the ground.
There were furniture, containers, and some electrical appliances. They all seemed to have been knocked down.
"Why is this place like this?" Lin felt that this question should be asked according to the habits of Ersh residents.
"Our shopping mall has seven floors. The first floor is mainly where I and a few companions live. The current state of the place is caused by the last earthquake, and we haven't tidied it up." It said as it walked. Pom Pom said: "Let's talk about what you said before..."
"You said something gave me a signal, so I wanted to build those skeleton machines, right?" It said: "...If you put it that way, I do feel a little strange..."
"It gives you a strong desire to make machinery." Pom Pom said: "So, you have to take me to the place where you first received this desire."
"This is it...wait a minute, I have transformed this place into an automatic door." Er Shimin walked to a place in front...under a large container. It reached into the third floor of the container and poked it. Suddenly, the container made a rumble and moved to the side, revealing the scenery behind it.
Lin: This is now a large room surrounded by many large containers. It is full of mechanical parts, some unassembled skeleton machines, and beds and other things.
"In such a big place, do you just live in this kind of space?"
"Yes... this is not just because of the earthquake. There have been some other dangerous creatures here recently." Er Shimin said: "So we surrounded a place. Recently, I have been making weapons to get rid of them..."
With that said, it walked to a bed inside and said, "This is where I first came up with the idea of making a skeleton machine. Can you find anything here?"
The pom-pom didn't speak, but quickly floated to the bed. After some tests, Lin discovered... there was some kind of 'trace' here.
This kind of traces can be called 'ghost traces'. Simply put, they are the traces left by the Midgard cubs. Although they look like energy or something, they are 'physical' things. They will pass by. Leaving traces in places is the same as leaving smells.
Could it be that these news of making skeletons were spread by a ghost cub? However, the ghost cubs on Xu Min's side were completely unaware.
Although there was a slight possibility that it was hiding something, Lin felt that the greater possibility was that it really knew nothing.
Because these cubs have not been in contact for a long time, their behaviors may be very different from each other. Anyway, let’s meet the cubs here first.
Then, Lin said to Er Shimin: "Take me to your food production device to have a look."
"This is not allowed!" When it heard it, it immediately refused: "It is forbidden to enter there... Although we chatted for a long time, after all, I am not familiar with you yet and cannot let you get close to this important place."
"Goodbye then." After hearing what it said, the pom-pom turned and left.
It was true that it was unlikely that he would take the pom-poms to that kind of place, but since they had already been brought to the place where he lived, Lin felt that it would be okay to take them there again.
But since it refused, Lin would go on her own.
"Wait a minute, where do you want to go?" It caught up with the pompom from behind and said, "I still have many questions...ah! They are coming!"
As it spoke, it suddenly turned around and ran back, and closed the automatic door made of the container.
Only the pom-poms are still outside... Just now it said 'they are coming',
It seems that those are the things he is referring to?
Lin saw many small gray-black creatures appearing among the fallen furniture and electrical appliances. These creatures were more than thirty centimeters long and covered with thick fur, but their tails were almost hairless.
When Lin was wondering what these little creatures were eating here, they all ran over, and a large group of them surrounded the pom-poms, constantly jumping on the ground trying to reach the pom-poms.
Although they could jump five or six times their height, they still couldn't touch the pompoms. Lin found that more creatures gathered... around the room surrounded by Ershi civilian containers.
They surrounded the container and kept gnawing on the container with their teeth. The metal container made constant noises from their bites. Then Lin heard a "crackling" sound. The container was powered on, and those who were gnawing on it were At this moment, all the creatures fell to the ground and became motionless.
But after a while, they pounced again.
This creature feels... very crazy, but the Ershimin inside should be fine, because even if there is no power, these containers are very strong.
While thinking about it, the pompom also flew in another direction...the elevator leading to the second floor of the mall.
The elevator was completely blocked by a lot of furniture and the like, and it seemed impossible to get up. Lin knew that the food-making stuff... was on the second floor, so she let the pom-pom shoot out a piece of fluff.
'boom--! ’
The road became clear during the explosion, and the pom-poms floated to the second floor. The second floor was the same as the first floor, with scattered things everywhere, but... Lin quickly saw the key thing.
A device for making food.
It's not placed in a very secret place, it's placed in a room in front of the pom-pom... In the restaurant, you can see it through the window. Although the door of the restaurant is closed, the pom-pom sticks its fluff into the keyhole to poke it. It opened after a few clicks.
It felt... very simple. The pom-pom floated in front of the food-making device.
This device is a square object attached to the wall. In fact, it is only the 'exit' part... and a large main part is buried in the wall.
This square is more than two meters long and wide. It is covered with various food signs, and there is a food outlet below.
Lin had seen the Ershimin's memory. As long as you press the food symbol on it, food will come out below.
However, this is not food that appears out of thin air, but requires materials.
The materials are things that are originally inedible, such as... stones and dust.
Therefore, this installation is probably the most 'cinematic' thing here. (To be continued.)
