In the dusty sky, they could occasionally see that place... Ershi, the world they used to live in.
Therefore, no matter how hard it was for them to live in that place, they would try their best to survive.
The older generation had been looking forward to returning to that place, while the younger generation had been listening to all kinds of stories about that place, and how wonderful it was...
They had also been looking forward to visiting that place.
This expectation had always been their hope to survive, and it was also the main reason why these creatures could live on in this harsh world.
However, they never had the chance to do so.
The older generation slowly died, and their descendants began to grow old, while the descendants of the later generation supported them. Every generation would tell the next generation that they should return to that place.
However, they had no real impression of that place. What kind of place was Ershi?
They could only understand it through video data, which was very unrealistic. However, because they could occasionally see it in the sky... they tried very hard to go back.
Almost every group of these creatures later had a small factory. They used it to build new houses, maintain old buildings, and some groups even created factories to cultivate plants.
However, there were also groups that died out for various reasons, but at least they were able to maintain a certain number.
The thing they wanted to build the most was a flying machine. They thought that the disaster on Ershi had been resolved, so they had been trying to build a flying machine to fly back.
However, it seemed to be very difficult to succeed... although they had built many other things, none of the groups had been able to build a flying machine to fly out of this world.
As for the ones that first came here. They had long been damaged and buried by the wind and sand.
However. The biggest reason why they could not build a flying machine was... Ershi had suddenly disappeared.
It had suddenly disappeared. Originally, there were certain periods in this world where they could see Ershi, but it suddenly disappeared.
Moreover, during the period when Ershi disappeared, there were some major events in this world, such as earthquakes and storms. However, they did not last long, and only caused the destruction of two groups.
After that, they could no longer see Ershi, and even with some special observation devices, they could not see Ershi.
Although communication with Ershi had failed when they first arrived, they still retained some observation devices. Only one group had such devices, which they used to confirm Ershi's condition.
However, after Ershi disappeared, the device could no longer detect Ershi. In other words, Ershi had completely disappeared.
"After that … That's it. Most of the groups didn't try to continue building aircraft. After all, it's not a simple matter … Then, we've been living until now."
The leader looked at the pompom. Its emotions were mixed with a lot of 'sadness', but it did not show it on its face. Instead, he said in a calm tone, "We have been abandoned by our original world. We used to call ourselves residents of Ershi, but now, we call ourselves' Mars'. "
The pompom asked, "Mars?"
"It has the meaning of 'God of Battle'." The leader said, "We were born here, we live here, and we work hard to create a suitable environment. We will not be like our ancestors in the past who held the boring thought of returning. We want to transform this world into the most beautiful place for us to live in! For this, we have always been fighting! "
As it said that, the leader stood up. Its emotions were full of excitement, and its two bodyguards also became a lot more excited because of its words.
It seemed that after so long, they had forgotten about their previous thoughts of returning, and were trying to find a way to live? That was not bad.
"Then …" The leader looked at the pompom and said, "What is your purpose of coming here? What is it? According to our records, this seems to be the first time our civilization has encountered an alien race. We don't know how to deal with them … However, most of the previous theories about alien creatures were about how to deal with them. "
"But I think, we can get along well … Is that so?" The leader looked at the pompom, and Lin felt that it was indeed 'sincere' when it said that.
This leader was quite interesting. Lin thought that it might ask the pompom to help them, but it did not say so. It even said that they would definitely develop on their own.
"I'm just here to observe and understand." The pompom said, "The history and story of every creature … I came here to learn about that, there is no other reason."
"Is that so? You already know about our history," the leader said. "We don't have any special history right now, but we will create it step by step."
"We now have about a dozen groups, some of them have not been in contact for a long time, and we don't know if they are still alive. The abandoned buildings you saw before you came here were the extinct groups …" the leader said with a confused expression, "However, you said that the buildings where you found this map were buried under the sand, and they were very new, that is very strange."
"Because we would never abandon the buildings and run away, that would be suicidal. The protective suits cannot support us for too long in this world's environment …" the leader said, "Can you tell me … more about the situation there?"
"No problem." the pompom told it about the situation there. After that, the leader's confused expression deepened.
"As expected, it is the group of 'Ershi worshippers'."
"Do they worship Ershi a lot?"
"Should be," the leader said. "By now, most of our groups have not paid much attention to Ershi … but that group is not like that. They have always believed that they can return to Ershi, and they have even formed a 'cult' to worship Ershi."
"They have created many things related to Ershi, like the metal balls you mentioned before, which are models of Ershi, and many entertainment items on Ershi. They have spent precious resources to create a large number of those things … but they have plenty of resources because they occupy a good location. Not only do they have water, but they also have plenty of minerals …"
"But at some point, they suddenly lost contact with each other. I didn't expect them to be buried under the sand … that is very strange," the leader said. "And you said that they took away many things, that should be impossible."
"That is worth investigating," the pompom said. "What else do you know about them?"
"They are the largest group because they often go to other groups to recruit members. Because … no one dares to provoke them, so they can only be allowed to do so …" the leader said. "So, they are the only group that has members of different species."
The pompom asked, "What do you mean by members of different species? Do you have different types? "
"The main thing is …" The leader reached out his hand and pointed at the painting on the table. "Don't you see that Ershi has many pieces of land that are separated from each other? The different pieces of land are mainly referred to as' states'. "
"Among the members who first came here on the spaceplane, there were members from different states …" the leader said. "In the past, no one knew the reason for the split, but at that time, the members of each group came from the same place."
"I think it is mainly because they came from different places, that is why they split …" The leader pointed at the two regions of the rollers on the painting. "For example, our members basically come from this' Ruer 'and' Amega '."
"Like other groups, some come from this' Aisha ', some come from' Egfka 'and so on … If you run into them, you have to pay attention to the fact that their language is different from ours," the leader said. "That can be quite troublesome."
"You …" the pompom asked. "You don't know each other's language, so you came here together on the spaceplane?"
"Of course, in the beginning, they were all interconnected," the leader said. The leader said, "It's just that after the split, they like to only speak their mother tongue in their own group. And because of the difficulties in life, they don't have time to teach their offspring other languages. Moreover, there is very little contact between the groups. Over time … that's how it is. They only know how to speak their own language. However, this is only our speculation … At least that's what we think. Other groups don't know the specific situation."
"However, most of the other groups know some of our languages, and we basically don't understand theirs. That's because our language was compulsory when we flew here, but theirs wasn't. So, we can more or less maintain simple communication, but we can't carry out more complicated communication. However, the Hirsh Cult used some unknown method to gather many people who speak different languages …"
"… Have you not thought about merging?" the pompom asked.
"Of course, but if we are all squeezed into one place, there will be a shortage of water and other resources, and we have always … maintained hostility between each other. Even though there is trade, when a group is weak, it can be robbed." The leader sighed. "It is hard for me to guess the other leaders' thoughts, but I have always wanted to cooperate with all of us and not continue this kind of pointless dispute."
"Then, I have a general understanding of your situation." The pompom extended a strand of hair to point at the painting on the table. "About this' Ershi ', the reason for its disappearance might be …"
"What?" The leader gasped. "You know the reason for its disappearance?"
"That is because I have encountered something similar," the pompom continued. "Its disappearance might be because it is a kind of creature."
"… A creature called 'Star Bus'."
