"You're finally here."
The moment the door of the train opened, a Void Person who seemed to have been waiting there for a long time stood up.
Lin noticed that this Void Person was wearing a luxurious red outfit, and there were many small gold and silver plates stuck on it, those seemed to be called 'medals'.
Every time they completed something, they would receive a medal. This Void Person seemed to have a lot of achievements, and he was also very old.
"General!" When the commander saw this Void Person, he immediately made a 'salute' gesture.
"Alright." The Void Person that Lin translated as General raised his hand and said, "You must be tired after coming here, come with me."
Saying that, he turned around and walked away, the commander and the other Void People immediately followed.
"Looks like we've encountered a very difficult opponent this time." While walking down the corridor, the General said to the commander, "Captain, I didn't expect him to do that kind of thing."
"This …" The commander said, "General, I don't think it's strange, the captain's personality has always been like that …"
Lin listened to their conversation while observing the situation around her. In this' space dome ', because most of the walls were transparent, she could see many other rooms. It seemed that other than here, everywhere else was extremely crowded. A large group of Void People were desperately trying to squeeze into the aircraft or the train. Although there was a queue, there would always be a few Void People who wanted to get in faster, causing everyone to start squeezing.
When the aircraft here were fully loaded, they would fly out from the outer layer of the dome through the open window. Lin noticed the display boards. It seemed that most of the aircraft did not fly into the Void. Instead, they flew to other places.
Only the train went directly to Area 52 of the Void. The Void People who got on the train did not seem to be that panicked.
After a few turns and downhill, the commander and the group of Void People followed the General to the lower level of the dome. Lin saw that there were many Void People lining up here, and in front of the line was a 3D projection device, the Void People were lining up to hold something into the 3D projection …
This seemed to be an action called 'ticket inspection'. The Voidfolk who passed could go to the upper level to board the aircraft or train. Each aircraft and train had different entrances, and at the same time, they also had different ticket inspection devices.
The train that Lin was on also had a ticket inspection device. However, this place was not open now. Of course, there were no Voidfolk lining up here. Hence, they walked out easily.
"… We need this colony." The general suddenly stopped in front of the gate.
The general had been chatting with the commander when they left. They were talking about the situation on the pom-poms. Lin realized that the commander might not know much about the situation on the pom-poms because he had been on the Wanderer for a long time, but he knew how serious the situation was.
"… We can't give up. We can't even publicize the results of our failure," the general continued. "In fact, many citizens suspect that we are wasting resources. Therefore, you can't tell them about failure, only success. "
"Otherwise. There won't be a next time. They will doubt our ability and cancel this operation. "As the general spoke, he opened the door …
"At the same time, we will have no future."
The moment the door opened, a cacophony of noise entered Lin's mind. On the street outside the gate, there were countless Voidfolk walking back and forth. This was the most 'spectacular' group of creatures Lin had ever seen. It was hard to imagine that a group of individualistic creatures could be more crowded than a swarm of insects.
"So many citizens …" Lin was not the only one, the other Voidfolk were also stunned by this spectacular scene. Even though they had seen it when they were on the train in the sky, it was not as shocking as it was at such a close distance.
"Do you see it?" The general said. "Not just this city, our entire world is like this … it's too crowded."
"However, the citizens here do not realize this problem," the general said. "Most of the citizens think that their current lives are normal and safe. They only care about what to eat tonight, not where their future generations will live."
"Only that new world can save us. We cannot spend another few hundred years looking for another place," the general said. "Remember this, you must not reveal any information! Including your own family, understand? "
"Yes!" the Voidfolk replied in unison. "The commander has said this many times before."
Seeing how they kept emphasizing this point, Lin wanted to see what would happen if they revealed it.
"I believe you are all excellent warriors," the general said. "Do you have a place you want to go?"
"Yes … I want to go back to my grandfather's home." "I want to go back to my grandmother's home …" many Voidfolk reported the cities and countries they wanted to go to, only a few Voidfolk said nothing.
"For those soldiers who want to go to a certain place, you can transfer here." saying so, the general took out a few tickets and handed them to the Voidfolk who said they wanted to go to another place.
"You can take the 'Universal Airship' from here, this ticket includes a round-trip ticket" The general said. "After boarding, this' Universal Airship 'can send you anywhere."
"That's great, thank you, General!" The Voidfolk were very excited after receiving the tickets. Perhaps they really wanted to see what their grandfather's or grandmother's home was like.
However, they had indeed grown up listening to these stories, so it was not strange for them to want to see it.
"As expected of the general, you've already prepared everything." The commander said. "Yes, but I'm worried they'll get lost, after all, they've never been here before …"
"Don't worry, there are people in charge of reception in the airship, and the tickets all have automatic navigation maps," the general said. "If you want to go now, then go, after all, you only have seven days!"
"Yes!" the Voidfolk excitedly ran back into the giant egg.
Lin felt that they also had the idea of going around on their own instead of following the commander. After the Voidfolk left, there were only ten Voidfolk left, including the spy.
"Then, for the rest of the soldiers, we will arrange accommodation for you at the headquarters."
As the general said that, it walked forward, and the Voidfolk followed it to the edge of the street.
At the edge of the street the Voidfolk were walking on, they could see another street, which could be translated as' road '. This was a word in Lin's mind, it seemed to be a road taken by a creature called' horse ', and some of the mutated Mao Yu had also turned into a creature called' horse '.
Even though so much had been said, it did not seem to have anything to do with this place.
The road here was a place for land-based machines, similar to the chariots, most of the Voidfolk 'land-based machines used wheeled structures, and there were many types of them, a small number of them used' floating 'structures, but it was said that these structures were very expensive, and normal Voidfolk would not have them.
Generally speaking, a wheeled structure was not as good as a leg structure, but because legs were difficult to operate, they preferred to use the wheeled structure.
Lin noticed that there were some cylindrical objects that kept spinning on the side of the road, but she did not know what they were for.
On the road, a large number of machines were moving back and forth, these machines called cars were the same as other places, they were always flashing with the light of advertisements, countless lights flashing on the road, enough to make some Voidfolk feel dizzy.
However, the Voidfolk who had lived here for a long time, like the general, did not seem to care at all.
Looking at the complicated street, and then at everything built by these creatures, these things … were they all randomly generated?
In reality, there were no multicellular creatures on the pom-poms that were purely random, even the very primitive ones were the same. Generally speaking, when a group of fungi started to evolve into multicellular creatures, they were no longer considered random.
"We'll take this." The general suddenly spoke, Lin noticed that it walked towards a chariot parked on the side of the road, although it looked like a chariot, there was no turret on it, and it was more than twice the size of a normal chariot, the lower half of the chariot even had neatly arranged windows.
The general walked forward and opened a door on the side of the chariot, then said to the Voidfolk, "Come in, we'll go to the base now."
The Voidfolk were stunned, they also seemed to feel that it was strange to take this chariot, but they quickly walked in.
After entering and sitting down, Lin could see from the window that the surrounding scenery was slowly descending, the chariot flew up.
Not only the Voidfolk sitting in the chariot, even the Voidfolk on the street looked at the flying chariot with great surprise …
When the chariot rose to almost the same height as the giant egg, it suddenly accelerated in a certain direction …
The complicated streets with countless Voidfolk below flashed past Lin's eyes, the chariot shuttled between the towering buildings at high speed, Lin noticed that its flying altitude was much lower than other flying vehicles.
The flying chariot was very fast, but there were a few times when it almost crashed into the buildings and billboards on the side, it seemed to be 'illegal' to fly like this, but perhaps because it was the general, it did not matter.
The chariot flew around the city at high speed a few times, then flew towards a target.
That was … the headquarters?
Sure enough, it was very different from other buildings, it looked more like … a castle.
The headquarters was surrounded by silver walls, isolating everything around it, and inside the walls, there was a vast square, there were neat rows of chariots and flying vehicles for combat on it.
Further behind, there was a large number of silver buildings.
Could that be … the residence? (To be continued …)
