Chapter 3210 Dust

"Where...did they go?"

There is a group of intelligent creatures that have developed a powerful...civilization in the void.

At least they feel powerful.

They created a large number of new weapons in the void, and even things like battleships.

Perhaps because they encountered too few crises in the void, they began to "expand" rapidly, thinking that they could easily destroy... those leaf-cutter ants.

So they formed a team and began to return towards "Ershi".

Their mission objective is simple, which is to first destroy the underground kingdom of leaf-cutter ants with powerful "earth-pecking bombs".

Since the attack was launched directly into the void, they believed they were absolutely safe.

This group of intelligent creatures gathered in the sky above Ersh and dropped their weapons toward the surface.

However, they don't know whether these weapons... have successfully destroyed their targets.

At that time, the entire world of 'Ershi' was covered by thick smoke and dust, and they could not see the situation on the surface.

The missiles they launched lost all communication connections after entering the atmosphere.

They didn't even know whether the missiles had exploded.

So, after some discussion, they drove the warship to the surface, passed through the thick smoke and dust, and landed on the ground.

They felt that this place... seemed to be completely different from the 'Ershi' in their records.

This is a world covered with dust. Everything is dust, and there is nothing familiar from the past.

So they came up with a lot of theories, such as what leaf-cutter ants did to make the world look like this.

And this group of intelligent creatures soon turned into dust themselves.

Because, there are a large number of tiny...'metal microorganisms' in the dust.

They can easily pass through the filtration system of intelligent biological armor and penetrate into the warship.

When this group of microorganisms began to dismantle the warship...they finally reacted.

However, the battleships' systems had been damaged and they could no longer escape into the void.

And microbes had invaded their bodies...and the amazing thing was, they didn't break them down quickly.

Instead, he first slowly decomposed the battleship into a pile of worlds, and then began to decompose these desperate creatures.

Finally, they disappeared completely.

The group of intelligent creatures that attacked Ershi were a group of apes, and seemed to be an evolved species of baboon.

This group of apes later completely perished in the void. It is unclear whether their demise was directly related to the attack on Ersh.

As for the leafcutter ants, they have never appeared and they seem to have disappeared long ago.

I don’t know when the world became like this, a world covered with dust.

A significant portion of this dust is composed of special 'metallic microorganisms' that will decompose most organisms that approach this world.

But not all creatures have their own set of wonderful criteria for judgment.

As long as you meet this standard, you will not be attacked by them.

Therefore... there are still some creatures left in the battleship that have not been decomposed.

These creatures... they are rats.

And just like in the era of the Ershi people, they were also used as experimental creatures, but at some point they... seemed to have undergone some special experiments and developed intelligence.

However, even with their intelligence, these rats are still used as experimental creatures.

Because they are very small in size, but have an 'extremely treacherous' character... that's what the apes who raise them think.

These intelligent rats are often used in "social experiments" to judge various situations by observing the miniature societies they form.

When they came to attack the leaf-cutter ants, they also brought some "intelligent rats" with them.

The reason for this is not clear.

After the metal microbes had decomposed the battleship and most other things, they left the rats behind.

So... they began their life in the dust world.

The group of rats felt very confused at first.

They didn't know what to do or what to do, but they started digging holes and looking for food according to their 'instinct'.

While digging underground, the rodents found something they could eat: a fungus.

This fungus is a type of fungus that leaf-cutter ants used to raise. They raise many species of fungi, but only this one survived.

The reason why it can survive is not only because it is not decomposed by metal microorganisms, but also because they are not so dependent on feeding.

They can grow completely on their own, and over a long period of time, these fungi have grown to be very "huge".

And the source of their nutrients is this dust.

Most of the dust decomposed by metal microorganisms is originally living things, so they can be used as nutrients.

So, after the group of rats came underground and discovered the fungi, they began to eat the fungi and then established a civilized country of their own underground.

They built buildings, cities, and all kinds of creations...

The things created by this group of rats are of the same technological level as those void creatures.

To be precise, they are species like the octopus that still live in the void.

These rats themselves don't have any technology. After all, they are just experimental creatures... and the warships that brought them here have long been dismantled.

But these rats have 'awakened' a lot of technological knowledge.

This seems to be because... although the leaf-cutter ants have disappeared, the individual individuals they previously arranged into various civilized creatures are still there.

These individuals observed the technology and circumstances of civilized creatures and, without their knowledge, sent this intelligence back to this dust-covered world.

And then…it was passed on to these rats.

These rats created various technologically hybrid buildings and other things.

However, they can't make everything, especially weapons.

Some of the things they built would be broken down by metal microorganisms, and they developed a very special civilization in this strange environment.

Since they are also individual creatures, there are always various disputes, but because they cannot make weapons, these rats mainly rely on their teeth to fight.

At the same time, their combat equipment is basically various armors, and they have no weapons equipment at all.

So...their war soon stopped.

Because their armor quickly hardens and they can no longer harm their own kind.

This made them turn in another direction...which was to study the world.
