"Those things … they're coming!"
The air was filled with tension. This was a small town. In front of the neatly arranged houses, a group of creatures wearing armor and holding weapons were staring into the distance …
This group of creatures came from Ershi and now called themselves Mars, which meant the God of War. They also thought that they could rule this world. (...)
But now, they suddenly encountered a group of hostile creatures. These creatures wanted to compete with them for the right to rule this world.
In the distance, on the sandy ground surrounded by wind and sand, a small black shadow appeared. A second after it appeared, a large number of figures like it appeared.
They stood on the distant horizon. Although they were not big, their numbers were enough to create a strong sense of oppression for the Mars who were holding their weapons.
"Don't be afraid … wait for them to attack, then we'll shoot!" The leader of the town was also wearing armor and standing among its people, holding a very long weapon in his hand.
The leader raised the weapon, and using the weapon's scope, he could see the group of creatures in the distance clearly.
"Are those 'rock skins'?" The scope showed a grayish black figure crawling on the ground. They looked like a group of very primitive creatures. They were not even wearing anything.
However, according to the pompom's description, this group of creatures was very powerful and had the same intelligence as them.
At first, the leader was very skeptical of this description. It was not until he heard that the exploration team was attacked that he realized that these creatures called rock skins were very dangerous.
The target of these rock skins was not the exploration team, so they only killed half of the team members and stopped attacking.
But according to the captain's report, the rock skins were all running this way, so the leader had ordered the whole town to prepare for this attack.
"It's said that there's a leader inside … but I can't tell which one …"
Through the scope, the leader tried to find the most important target of the other party to attack, but he felt that every rock skin was the same. Obviously, the leader of the rock skins would not wear special equipment like him to identify himself.
"Forget it, if that's the case … then just shoot one."
The leader aimed the scope at the head of a rock skin. Through the automatic calculation device in the weapon, the scope would automatically adjust. So no matter how strong the wind was or how far the target was, as long as the scope was aimed at the target, the probability of hitting was the highest.
The leader's hand slowly pressed the trigger of the weapon.
Bang!
A warhead shot out along with the flickering flames. In an instant, it arrived in front of the group of rock skins in the distance and rushed straight towards the target. Then, with a bang, it crashed into the rock behind the target.
The whole process happened faster than the blink of an eye. Only then did the surrounding layers of rock react. They immediately looked at the stone that had been hit.
The leader also noticed it. It hit a rock, not the rock in front of it.
Missed? Although there was a lot of wind and sand here, and even the most advanced computing equipment in the scope could make mistakes, the leader didn't think so.
At the moment when it shot, the rock that it was aiming at suddenly tilted its head, causing its bullet to miss the target.
It might be a coincidence, but …
"They're coming!"
Suddenly, someone shouted, and all the rock skins on the distant sand rushed over.
"Fire! Fire! "The leader immediately gave the order, and the sound of countless bullets being fired resounded across the sand …
At the same time. On the other side …
"I will punish you on behalf of Mars!"
"…" Lin's attention was still on some of Mars' pompoms. Now, the pompoms were in a house, watching a type of entertainment called 'moving paintings'.
This seemed to be quite interesting. They stacked different paintings together and played them continuously, so it looked like the paintings were moving.
The Voidfolk had a similar technology, but the styles of the two were very different. Lin realized that the shapes of the small statues all came from these works.
These works were all brought here from Ershi. The residents here didn't have time to make these things because it was very … hard to make these works.
Lin understood a little about the process of making them. Lin felt that if they had rich color-changing cells like the ancient squid, it would be much easier to make these paintings.
Usually, they would look at them when they had nothing to do to relax their stressful mood.
It was said that their work on Ershi was very stressful. Similar to the Voidfolk, there was a lot of pressure on their lives here.
Because they could die at any time, and now they were threatened by the rock skins. However, this group was still relatively safe.
At present, the rock skins were mainly attacking the group that Lin had first encountered. Most of the members of that group were from Amegan and Ruer. Because there were more Amegan members, they were called Amegan. They were currently engaged in a fierce battle with the rock skins. Lin felt that their chances of winning … were not very high.
Although Lin had initially called them Mars, she felt that it would be easy to get mixed up. So, she decided to categorize them according to their 'province'.
And the group that Lin had just found, most of them were from … Aisha.
When she saw them, Lin found that they were indeed from different places. There was a clear difference in their appearance. However, the leader of the Amegan had told Lin that each group spoke in a different language. When this group of Aisha saw Lin, the first thing they spoke was the language of the Amegan.
Lin had encountered them in the wasteland. This group of Aisha had gone to trade with the residents of Amegan. They would often trade with each other like this.
So, Lin told them about the situation with the Amegan. They were initially very skeptical. However, the pompoms also showed them a holographic panel.
The panel contained information about the rock skins and the town under the sand. At the same time, the pompoms showed them their 'identities', the same as what Lin did with the other creatures here.
After that, the group of Aisha seemed to relax a little and brought the pompoms to their town.
They enthusiastically greeted the pompoms. Then, like the Amegan, the leader of this group sent out a group to investigate the town under the sand.
Although the pompoms said that it was dangerous, they said that it would be better to bring more weapons … they clearly did not want the town to be taken over by the Amegan group.
Then, the leader of the Aisha introduced them to the pompoms. It was said that Aisha was the largest province in Ershi. Thus, it had the largest population.
Thus, there were several groups that came from Aisha. They all spoke different languages. The group that Lin had encountered was just one of them.
The weapons and houses of this group were not too different from those of the Amegan group. However, they had a lot of entertainment products.
And they were very happy to let the pompoms watch their products. That was why Lin was here to watch them.
Because they thought that the pompoms only understood the Amegan language, the bottom of the screen would show translated words along with the sound.
"Today, justice has won again! Hahahaha! "
While she was thinking, the pompoms finished watching the movie.
This movie was obviously for the young ones. The whole movie was about the heroes of justice defeating the forces of evil.
There were many stories like this in the world of the Voidfolk. They thought that this could guide the young ones from the path of crime.
So, they thought that the pompoms would not commit crimes after watching this movie?
Lin thought that was not very likely.
The pompoms opened the door of the building and floated out. She could see that many Aisha had gathered in the square of the building. The leader of this group was telling them about the rock skins.
Unlike the Amegan leader, this leader seemed to be very concerned about the rock skins. However, they should be united in order to deal with the rock skins.
But Lin noticed that there seemed to be a lot of competition between the groups. When the leader mentioned that the Amegan were attacked by the rock skins, many of the residents showed a "happy" expression.
Obviously, they wanted the rock skins to destroy their competitors. However, if the rock skins were too strong, they were also afraid. So, the leader quickly formed an army.
Why did they like to fight so much when it was difficult to find water? And the reason why they were so enthusiastic about the pompoms was obvious. They wanted the pompoms to help them. In fact, they were also wary of the pompoms, but they did not show it.
At least, that was what they thought …
This was an interesting place, so Lin did not disturb them. She continued to look at the other works in the house.
There were many other works that the leader wanted to show Lin. They were all "sequels" to the previous one. Of course, they were all stories about the hero.
Lin ignored the sequels and flew to a room in the house. There were more works here.
These works were much more interesting. Lin flipped through them and found many works about the "apocalypse."
From these works, she could see that they had speculated about the current situation.
...
So that was it.
After looking at them for a while, Lin understood almost everything.
The works about the apocalypse were quite interesting. Strange mutated monsters would often appear in the works. However, most of the works did not focus on the monsters fighting against each other. Instead, they described how the monsters fought against each other and schemed against each other.
But the works about the apocalypse … were very similar to what they were doing now. As expected, they had long ago thought that they would compete against each other in this situation …
