The End of the Paleozoic Era Chapter 2046 Process

When these miners were captured, they were locked up in a... building.

This transparent building has temperature and air, and the walls occasionally become transparent, so they can see the surrounding environment... nothing.

Generally speaking, this place was just a vast plain at the beginning.

Since then, the miners have been trapped here, unable to leave because the door of the building could not be opened at will.

However, there would occasionally be some holes in the wall, and some rat-like creatures would crawl into the holes, bringing... a lot of food that looked like meat paste to feed the imprisoned Ershi miners.

The miners didn't know what kind of meat it was, but they had to eat it because there was no food at all.

In this way, the miners continued to live here on the food of mice. Of course, for a normal intelligent creature, being kept here is very unbearable.

So they kept trying to find ways to escape.

They had no way to contact the outside world because the signal was not working, so the miners came up with another way to contact the company's rescue.

They use a small machine they carry with them, which is... the light mosquito.

The Light Mosquito was originally an exploration machine used to detect the environment of alien caves. They released the Light Mosquito outside when the mice brought them food.

They adjust and set the light mosquito to look for a location with a good signal outside and send out a distress signal to contact the company.

Then, the light mosquito came back.

When the light flies appeared in front of the miners again, they were no longer the original light flies.

The miners discovered that these light mosquitoes had been modified...they flew around outside all day and no longer responded to their commands.

Moreover, after long-term observation, the miners also found that these light mosquitoes would collect materials from everywhere and assemble them together... to form a "light mosquito nest".

The Light Mosquito's Nest looks like an oven from the outside, but it is actually a small factory inside. It will use the materials brought back by the Light Mosquitoes to assemble new Light Mosquitoes. When there are enough new Light Mosquitoes, it will continue to collect materials to make Light Mosquitoes Nests.

The original light mosquitoes...somehow became the 'wild animals' here and began to reproduce in this world.

As if that weren't enough, at some point the miners noticed... creatures that appeared to be native to the area... that would hunt and eat the light mosquitoes.

It was originally just a small detection machine, but it seemed to blend perfectly into this environment.

Faced with this strange phenomenon, the miners did not give up, but came up with various ways to escape.

However, since they have no chance to contact the outside, all the methods they use are meaningless, unless they use violence to open the door, but they have tried them all. No matter what, they cannot leave this prison that sometimes becomes transparent.

And while the miners have been here, they have witnessed changes in their surroundings.

A small number of buildings slowly appeared around, most of which were built by rats and some other creatures.

From the outside, it looks like a very simple stone house, which is probably the construction level of the Ershi people in the primitive era.

Next, the miners encountered a peculiar creature.

The creature was about the same size as them, and it initially just appeared around and did not enter the miners' prison.

It seemed to be observing outside, and after dozens of days and nights, the creature entered the miners' prison.

The moment it entered, the creature spoke...

The language of the Ershi people.

It communicates with the miners and talks to them about various things.

In fact, it was mainly asking questions. It asked many questions about the civilization of the Ershi people... and the miners initially thought that this creature was a companion of the mice that had locked them up here... and of course they were not willing to answer.

However, the creature promised to put them back once they had answered.

Because there was no better way, the Ershi people had to discuss matters related to their own civilization with it.

During the discussion, they also tried to ask the creature where it came from, but the creature hardly talked about itself.

After the first speech, the creature said that it would let them go after they slept once.

The miners believed what the creature said, but when they woke up after sleeping once... they had lost their memory.

Then the creature came again.

The creatures continued to talk about civilization and ideals with the amnesiac miners, and because the miners had lost their memories, they also didn't remember what happened before.

And they just... partially lost their memory. They still remember that they are Ershi people and most of the knowledge... but they don't know who they are or why they are here.

So creatures can continue to discuss civilized matters with them.

Every time the creature leaves, the miners fall into amnesia again, and it returns the next time to continue the discussion...

They kept repeating it, of course the things they discussed were slightly different... and later the scope of what they forgot became smaller and smaller, and later the miners only forgot about this creature and the things they talked about civilization.

They still remember that they had been locked up here for a long time.

As a result, many miners began to wonder why they were locked up here and wanted to leave.

At that time, the entrance to the prison was no longer locked and people could enter and exit at will.

So some miners put on protective clothing and ran out... When they took off their protective clothing on the ship, they would scream "So that's what it is" and run out excitedly.

However, the miners who run out in this way will... sink into the ground, and in the end only their faces will be left on the ground.

Every time an Ershimin was buried in the ground in this way, a stone house would appear next to it.

Because many Ershi miners escaped at that time, a large village was formed where there were originally only a few buildings.

This phenomenon scared the remaining miners so much that they dared not escape or use the protective suits on the ship to restore their memories, so they stayed there.

Maybe one day, the creature that was communicating with them felt that they were no longer valuable, so it let the mice kill them all?

On the surface it does look like that.

Now Lin can roughly confirm that there are some creatures here...who want to understand the civilization of the Ershi people.

Perhaps it was in preparation for a future invasion.

Although there are no corpse-maker bugs here, Lin feels that they are all of the same type as corpse-maker bugs.

Lin decided to go look for them, but before that she had to get some... nutrients.

The place before...had a lot of nutrients.
