Chapter 2384 Rain
“It’s raining again…”
There are no dark clouds in the sky of this world, but because of the countless bridges crisscrossing, the surface is always covered in darkness.
"You have to open the parachute quickly."
On the ground covered by the shadow of the bridge, an Ershiman slowly opened the umbrella in his hand, thus blocking the countless "raindrops" falling from the sky from directly touching his body.
This shower of rain is called 'solidified rain'. This phenomenon has been happening frequently recently. A liquid-like solidified substance will fall all over the sky and cover the entire surface.
These solidified raindrops disappear immediately when they touch the ground, leaving no residue, so no matter how heavy the rain is, there will be no accumulation.
But this kind of rain has other special effects.
If you are hit by them, you may enter a brief... state of stillness.
The chances of being stationary are not very high, but if you are directly exposed to a downpour, your entire body will become unable to move.
From the outside, it looks like he has... petrification disease, and he moves in a jerky manner.
Therefore, the Ershi people made an umbrella specifically designed to withstand this kind of solidified rain. It is made of pure solidified material and can be moved freely even in heavy rain.
Solidifying rain has fallen many times in this world. It had no solidifying effect in the first few times, but gradually it developed this effect, and the Ershi people living here have become accustomed to it.
After opening the umbrella, Er Shimin took out a cylindrical telescope from his waist and looked at the ruins of the city in the distance.
The city buildings of the past civilization appeared in the telescope like dark monsters, but what the man was paying attention to was not the buildings, but the lights between them.
Whenever the solidified rain falls, these strange lights always appear among the ruins of the city.
They were like candle flames, swaying in the freezing rain, appearing and disappearing from time to time...If you look closely, most of these lights are floating in the air and have nothing to do with the surrounding buildings.
The Ershi people have always believed that this phenomenon was caused by machines. Although machines would also have to take shelter from the rain due to the freezing of heavy rain, perhaps they also made something similar to this umbrella...but I just don't know why they would cause so much trouble in the city during this heavy rain.
Although these lights do not show any danger at present, the Ershi people are becoming more and more concerned.
So it now decided... to investigate directly.
"Okay, we have to get going! Once the rain stops, those lights will go out, so hurry!"
Hearing a voice calling, Ershimin put the telescope back to his waist and walked towards the one next to it...
Five teammates.
Including the Ershi people who were looking into the distance, there were six of them in total. They formed a 'Willow Fire Investigation Team' and prepared to step into the gloomy... ruins of civilization.
Generally speaking, the Ershi people have a fear of such places recorded in their cell nuclei, so they have always wanted to investigate using methods such as remote controls or telescopes.
But it's impossible to see clearly with a telescope, and with a remote control...
They also didn't know why the lights and fire would not appear in the remote control camera's camera.
The only way to be sure is to observe it directly.
In the end, their strong curiosity overwhelmed their fear, and they finally decided to take action themselves.
"Let's go!"
At the captain's command, the team of Liuershi people moved towards the ruins.
Before arriving, they first have to pass through a relatively flat area. The ground here is made of metal, with scratches and potholes everywhere caused by explosions.
In addition, there are various large and small metal structures lying on the ground, which were the means of transportation or warfare of past civilizations.
Every time they passed such a place, the Ershi people would be very vigilant, because those hateful little machines would appear from nowhere and attack them while shouting some strange words.
Because these machines are really... not very strong, a team of six Ershi people is enough to deal with them, but it can still be very dangerous if they are accidentally attacked.
But this time they didn't find any small machines.
Instead, I saw another view.
"This is..." The team leader focused his attention on a thing not far away that looked like... a tank.
There are many small flashing lights around this tank.
The color of this light spot is the same as the light and fire in the ruins in the distance, both are... orange.
Several team members immediately gathered around upon seeing this, and one of them picked up his weapon.
After finding that there seemed to be no threat, they slowly approached... and after approaching, they all showed surprised expressions.
These small spots of light are about ten centimeters in size, and their shape is a structure with limbs and the same body shape as the Ershi people.
At the same time, they have a pair of insect-like wings behind them flapping rapidly.
Several Ershi people were watching in amazement, and when one of them tried to reach out and touch a spot of light...suddenly all the spots of light flew away.
"...Chase them!" The captain gave this order after being stunned for a moment.
In fact, it itself didn't know why it wanted to chase after it. Maybe it was just out of curiosity... In short, it didn't think there was any danger at all.
So they ran all the way in the freezing rain until they reached the ruins of the city.
When they reached this location, the light spots had completely disappeared and no one knew where they had gone, but they were actually getting closer to their original...target.
"Look! That!"
An Ershi citizen pointed at the street ahead and shouted, because there appeared... a large ball of light.
Just like a ball of jelly, this ball of light was still shaking and looked very soft.
"What on earth is this... You, go and take a look!" As the captain, it decisively shrank behind all the team members, and the team member it ordered could only approach the light reluctantly.
"Pah!"
Just as it was about to touch the light, the light suddenly... exploded.
And its exploded fragments quickly merged together again and formed a... picture.
"Oh!!! Beat it! You can do it!"
Before the Ershi people had time to react, loud cheers rang out on the screen.
“…”
The people of Ershi looked at the scene in the picture with surprise.
It looked like a big... football field.
The entire venue was filled with densely packed creatures, all looking at the center of the venue...
There were two burning flames colliding with each other, and the audience seemed to be cheering for them.
