"Boom!"
The earth … was crumbling.
The sky … was burning.
When the huge Black Metal island shattered into pieces and tore the sky apart, everything was rapidly collapsing.
The ground was filled with endless smoke, and the meteorites that used to be the Black Metal battleships would occasionally fall to the ground. This world seemed to be on the verge of doomsday.
And the Star Bus never stopped. It kept moving forward in the midst of destruction, approaching the targets in the void. When a target approached, it would become difficult for it to escape, and it would finally be pulled to the surface of the Star Bus. And then … it would be smashed to pieces.
But even though countless battleships fell, the burning sky was still filled with black shadows. These battleships never seemed to be exhausted. When a batch of them crashed, another batch would appear in the sky.
They released balls of light that bombarded the scorched earth, peeling off the 'skin' of the Star Bus bit by bit.
"Boom!"
And when they released an attack or so, they seemed to be pulled by a huge force and flew uncontrollably to the ground …
Regardless of whether they were destroyed or not, the Star Bus would suffer a huge blow. And now, the wreckage of the battleships was piling up thicker and thicker on its body, which might have a certain protective effect in the face of attacks.
But no matter what, the Star Bus flew towards the center of the Black Metal army with the intention of dying …
And the Black Metal seemed to be very 'cooperative'. Lin found that they would only attack the Star Bus from close range, and not use long-range attacks.
As long as they got close. They would be pulled by the 'power' of the Star Bus. And crash to the ground. Then, as long as they didn't get close to the Star Bus and attacked from a longer distance, it would be fine.
The Black Metal … didn't use this method.
They kept approaching the Star Bus and attacking, as if using a tactic of attrition to continuously damage the Star Bus. It was only when their own wreckage piled up on the Star Bus's surface that they slowed down their attacks slightly.
Just … a little. Lin found that there weren't that many battleships in the sky, but they still kept attacking.
Obviously. The only possibility Lin could think of for the Black Metal Creatures was that they didn't want to directly destroy the Star Bus. Instead, they wanted to approach it and attack it. Perhaps they didn't want to kill it, but … capture it?
Indeed, a large number of battleships had blocked the Star Bus's vision. It was almost impossible to see the position of the islands in the distance and what they were doing.
Although he didn't know if the Star Bus could sense their location, the Star Bus relied heavily on its eyesight to observe details.
"I know what you're thinking." Star Bus also saw the situation and said to Pompom, "What do you think they are … planning? But … that's meaningless … I'll perish with them! "
Although the Star Bus had a very strong 'belief', it did not explain in detail how it fought.
Therefore … Lin fought in her own way, and Lin's current battlefield was mainly … underground.
Fallout Shelter 13. The old place was already shaking from the rumbling. Flashing lights were flying everywhere, and a large number of blocks were running through the tunnel. They had already reached this location, and they were crawling all over the underground shelter at an extremely fast speed.
They were looking for a way to go deeper.
In the process of moving, they left countless scorch marks on the ground. These marks came from their battle with Pompom and their pursuit of the degenerated Atlan. But there were also times when they wouldn't simply attack, and that was …
A conversation with a certain Atlan.
"What … how …"
In the depths of the fallout shelter, there was a normal Atlan.
It was originally in a state of despair, but it once again fell into a deep sleep and never planned to wake up again …
But … now it woke up, but it wasn't of its own volition. It was … the Black Metal Creatures that woke it up.
Lin's Pompom was hiding in the dark. From here, she could see a group of cubes entering the room where this Atlan was. They gathered around the jar of Atlan.
She was now in a state of great surprise.
"You … actually appeared again … why … do you still want to attack this world that has nothing left?" Reen could hear the Atlan speaking from where she was, and she was expressing her extreme emotion toward the squares.
This emotion contained anger, surprise, sadness and so on. It could be said that it was a mixture of a large number of 'negative emotions'.
More importantly … was the black metal cube and what it had said.
"Yes, we have returned." These cubes were speaking to this Atlan with an emotionless voice. "Do you know why? Can you guess? "
"I don't know. I don't know how to guess," Atlan said. Atlan said, "But one day, you disgusting parasitic creatures that only know how to fight and kill will be completely wiped out, just like us."
"You haven't been wiped out yet," one of the cubes said. "You still have a chance."
"A chance …" Atlan was clearly stunned. Then it said, "Back then, you used a deceptive method to destroy us, so I can't …"
"Deceiving a dying thing is meaningless," one of the cubes said. Square said, "You can choose to join us. This way, your life and your species will continue."
"You …" After the cubes finished speaking, this Atlan was clearly hesitant. Then, it asked the cubes, "What exactly do you want me to do?"
"You should know," one of the cubes said. "This world is alive. It is the source of your resistance against us. In fact, after you were defeated, it fled far away. That is why you were able to avoid the fate of destruction."
"What?" Atlan was immediately shocked. "Is that true? I've heard of it before … "
"That's right …" the cubes continued, "Moreover, this time, we did not invade. It came to find us on its own. It is trying to destroy us through a crazy method."
"We need you to stop it."
"Me? But … "
"It trusts you," one of the cubes said. "You only need to go to a place and sleep there. That way, you will know many things about it. Then, come back … and tell us those things. That way, we can allow you to … recover."
"Your life and your species," another cubes said. "You can enjoy eternal happiness in this eternal world."
"I …" this Atlan seemed to be very hesitant.
The cubes' goal was obvious. They wanted Atlan to sleep in the recording room of the Star Bus. That way, it would be able to see the history of the Star Bus, just like how Lin was able to see the history of the Star Bus.
But … did they really want to do that?
Because even though this was a shelter, the entire world might be under the 'surveillance' of the Star Bus. Wouldn't they be noticed by the Star Bus if they communicated with Atlan so directly?
They did not think so.
Because Lin could sense that these cubes were emitting some sort of 'energy' similar to brainwaves. When they were conversing, this special feeling filled the surroundings. Perhaps this was the ability to resist the detection of the Star Bus.
And the Star Bus had no idea what they were doing here.
"I can't sense them … they've already reached this place?"
When Lin told the Star Bus, it seemed to be slightly surprised, but it soon became unconcerned.
Because it needed to be concerned about the Black Metal Troop outside, and Lin had told it …
Lin would deal with the things in the shelter.
Lin had been watching these cubes in the dark and stopped them from time to time. But now, what Lin needed to do was not just to stop them.
While she was communicating with Atlan, the cubes that had traveled the furthest had reached the lower level of the shelter, and there was a special room at the lower level.
It and the other cubes that came with it stopped in front of this room. The door of this room was a round door, and it was made of a very thick metal.
Because this used to be a 'water filtration room', Atlan used the leftover waste water here to be recycled and filtered before using it again.
It was because of this that Atlan was able to survive for hundreds of years in the underground shelter. This was, of course, a very important place, so it had a thick door as a defense.
Boom! The cubes did not hesitate. A ball of light exploded on the door, and in the explosion, a big black hole appeared on the door.
Squeak … In the big hole, a small stream of water flowed out and poured on the head of the first cubes.
"Gulp?" Square was puzzled by this phenomenon.
Boom! Suddenly, the metal door in front of it exploded, and the thick metal door slammed heavily on the cubes' head. At the same time, a strong stream of water gushed out from behind the metal door, and in an instant, the cubes and the metal door in the tunnel were all flushed out.
In the water, the cubes could feel the surface of their bodies slowly corroding and shattering …
This water … was actually not water, but another kind of liquid. It could maintain its liquid state in a low temperature environment, and it was also very suitable for some small troop types to mix in.
These small troop types were specifically responsible for dealing with the cubes in the liquid. The cubes had miniature metal troops on them, but now, they would be completely corroded as well.
Because the shelter was sealed, a large amount of liquid quickly filled the bottom level of the shelter, and quickly spread to the upper level.
Lin felt that this method could deal with all the cubes in one go … unless … it was a fantasy.
