Boom!!!
"It's here again …"
This was … in the depths of the dark underground, in the complicated cave system, a creature called Atlan was running quickly. + + + +
It was unbelievable that it could run so fast because it had been in the 'life freezing system' for hundreds of years. However, those strange cubes had used some kind of method to recover it quickly.
Because it recovered, it could also escape from the collapsed shelter, but its operation was not over yet.
As a price, Atlan had to complete the mission of those strange cubes — to find a place to sleep, so it could get a lot of information.
"Can I really get a lot of information?" Although this Atlan used to be a researcher, it did not know much about this world.
In fact, most of the Atlan were the same. They found it hard to believe that this world was alive, but … the reason they came here in the first place was because … they received some kind of signal.
Boom!!! Atlan's surroundings shook again, and a large number of small stone fragments fell on its head, which made it run even faster.
"It seems like the war up there is very fierce … it used to be like this too." Atlan remembered the days when it escaped into the shelter. Countless Atlan died because of the war, and it and many of its companions could only live in the dark underground. At that time … it was only accompanied by fear and nightmares.
Now, it actually had to work with the creatures that forced it into the shelter.
But it did not matter anymore. Since its species was going to go extinct. It had no other choice. It wanted to live.
"But. What are they at war with now? This world itself … or those … Not good! " Atlan, who was sprinting, suddenly stopped and hid behind a stone pillar at the side.
Because it found a white, fluffy object floating in the cave in front of it.
"You have to avoid those fluffy balls." Atlan remembered what a certain cubes told it before. "Those things will hinder your movement and might even kill you, but as long as you hold this tightly, you won't be discovered, but this is only effective at a certain distance. You can't run directly to the front of the enemy. "
Atlan looked at the object in his hand. It was a cube that was only ten centimeters long.
Whenever he held it, Atlan would have a strange feeling. The fluffball certainly would not notice his appearance, but because he did not know which side of the fluffball was the 'front', he could only hide behind a stone pillar and wait for the fluffball to leave.
Atlan poked his head out of the stone pillar and saw that the pom-poms were gone. He then walked out carefully.
"Boom —!!" The cave shook violently again. Atlan immediately sped up and ran forward.
"This world is collapsing." The other Square had told it, "If you can't finish the task before the world collapses, then you will." Then you will be destroyed as well. "
Atlan thought about their words and immediately took out the map to have a look.
This map was also given to him by Square. It was a map drawn in a very primitive way on what looked like a soft leather substance, and the drawing was very rough.
However, it was surprisingly easy to understand. After Atlan confirmed his position, he immediately turned around and continued forward.
"This is …"
The moment he turned, a bright and wide space appeared in front of Atlan's eyes. It looked like a huge underground cave.
Countless thorny plants covered the ground, and many dazzling things hung on the ceiling above, illuminating the entire area.
"Although I've heard about it before, it's still unbelievable to see it with my own eyes …"
However, what attracted Atlan's attention the most were those white furballs …
A large number of fluff balls were growing on various thorny plants like fruits. Atlan noticed that these fluff balls were rapidly expanding, and the plants they were attached to would slowly wither. After the plants had completely withered, the fluff balls that had expanded to a large size would explode, splitting into smaller fluff balls and sticking to other plants.
"Are those furballs some kind of parasite?" Atlan looked at the furballs in the forest. He suddenly had a familiar feeling. He felt like … he had communicated with these furballs before.
However, he did not have such a memory.
"What the hell is going on …" The more Atlan thought about it, the more he realized that there was a blank memory in his mind. This made him feel a little dizzy, and he could only give up on thinking about it and follow him into the forest.
Although there were furballs everywhere in the forest, they were usually only in high places. Atlan used the low plants to hide, and he thought that he had not been discovered and quickly moved through the forest.
The target he wanted to find was in this forest, and it seemed that he could reach it through one of the caves in the forest.
Boom —! At this moment, the ground suddenly shook, and a huge rock fell from the sky, smashing about three meters in front of Atlan.
"Ah!" Atlan, who was almost hit by the rock, screamed in shock. He quickly took a few steps back and looked up. Through the gaps between the plants, he could see that there was a huge crack on the ceiling of the cave.
It seemed like it was caused by the tremors just now. Those huge rocks also fell from the crack, and the crack continued to spread. As the crack increased, the entire underground world rumbled.
"Is this place going to …" Atlan felt fear quickly fill his mind, but he suddenly saw a shocking scene. Those big and small furballs on the plants suddenly flew up, and all of them flew into the crack that appeared on the ceiling of the cave, and stuffed themselves into the crack.
When a crack was filled with furballs, the crack stopped expanding, and the tremors around it slowly stopped.
Atlan looked at this scene in shock, but he quickly remembered that he still had things to do, so he quickly left.
"It's here …"
After walking for a while, he found the cave he wanted to go to according to the rough map. It was indeed a hole in the ground, and it was about two meters in diameter, just enough for him to go in.
After entering the cave, he did not enter the darkness. Instead, he found that the surroundings were filled with beautiful fluorescent lights. These fluorescent lights were all protruding from the cave walls, and they were emitted by objects that looked like tree roots. This made him even more certain that this was the place he was looking for, because the map said that there were these strange glowing objects here.
"I need to finish this quickly and leave …"
Atlan's footsteps quickened. Although this place was beautiful, he did not forget that the outside was collapsing.
"Ah!" Just as he took a few steps forward, a big sword suddenly appeared in front of him, and the sharp blade almost touched Atlan's neck. If he did not stop in time, his head would have been somewhere else.
At the same time, Atlan saw a strange creature suddenly appear in front of him …
"You … You are …"
When Atlan saw the creature, he was extremely shocked, because this creature … looked exactly like him.
He was wearing a strange looking armor, and he was holding a big sword in his hand. He looked like he was playing a movie character.
Although his appearance was very strange, what surprised Atlan the most was … there was someone of his kind here!
"Do you also live in the shelter?" Atlan immediately asked him a question filled with excitement.
Because it had been a long time … since he saw someone of his kind.
This' fellow 'with the big sword was first stunned, and then he said something that Atlan could not understand.
"What? Language barrier? "
Atlan was also stunned. Normally speaking, Atlan would not have a language barrier.
This' fellow 'also noticed the situation. Atlan saw him reach out with his hand and press something that looked like a button on the side of the helmet.
"Do you understand now?" Atlan suddenly understood what he said next.
"What?" Atlan asked in shock, "How did you do that?"
"My helmet has a 'translation' function," said the fellow. "You wanted to enter this place just now? This place is not allowed, no matter what kind of creature you are. "
"I …" Atlan was confused. "Wait … did you come out from the shelter? What is your name? "
"What shelter? Name? I have long forgotten my name. You can call me Hero, "said the fellow who called himself Hero." I have never seen you before. Where did you come from? Why do you look so strange? "
"Hero …" Atlan was stunned by the word again, but it quickly continued, "I'm in Fallout Shelter No.13 … Wait, you don't know about fallout shelters? Don't you live in a shelter? Since you are still alive, you should have other companions, right? "
"I live somewhere very far away," Hero said. "You look different from the creatures here. This is the first time I have seen something as strange as you."
"Strange?" Atlan asked. "Don't we look the same?"
"Same?" Hero said. "How are we the same? Take a look at yourself."
As he spoke, Hero raised his sword before Atlan. Through the reflection of the sword, Atlan saw his own appearance.
"What … is this?"
The moment Atlan saw himself, he was stunned. He realized that even though his body shape had not changed, it was completely covered in metal, and the metal material was the same as the blocks.
"When …" Atlan realized that he had completely turned into … a machine.
"You haven't seen your own appearance?" The Hero couldn't help but laugh. "Haha, that's really strange."
