"Welcome to the new world, this is the place where our civilization will rise again!"
A huge advertisement board stood in the center of the square, and the propagandist in the screen seemed to be saying very encouraging words.
However, the people below were still coming and going. No matter how loud it was, no one raised their heads to take a second look at the advertisement.
This was the new world of the Voidfolk. Although there were no tall buildings here, it was slowly becoming like the original city. A transparent hemispherical cover covered the entire square, and the Voidfolk in the square were constantly moving. It looked like they were busy working in the original city.
But they were no longer the same as before.
Their faces did not have the tired expression due to the pressure of work, nor did they have the feeling of depression. The biggest difference was … they did not wear breathing apparatus on their faces.
Green plants surrounded the square, and the bright and clear sky could be seen through the transparent cover. Nothing could make one feel better than this.
"It seems that the development here is quite good."
A black figure stood in the square, and the armor it wore attracted the attention of the people passing by, but no one recognized it.
It had once betrayed its own world, but later on, it saved its own world. And now, it had finally made the decision to fight for its own race.
In fact, that was just a side goal. Its original intention was to explore new places and explore new things. That was why it had the name 'Scholar'.
"We are standing in this new world." In the Scholar's helmet. Cryopteris' voice echoed.
"You decided to explore that dangerous world. That's good, but are you really ready? You still need to do something else. " Cryopteris said, "For example, your body can't be as weak as before. You need more changes."
"Change?" The Scholar was a little surprised, "Do you mean …"
Cryopteris said, "That will take some time to prepare … Anyway, go and see the general first."
"… Okay."
With that, the Scholar stepped on its feet in the new world.
As it moved, it observed the various situations here. The Voidfolk coming and going on the streets looked like they were working, but in fact, the Scholar heard that they were basically idle.
Here, there was no need for high-intensity work like in the past. The things that needed to be done here were mainly construction and the like, and these were all done by specialized civilian machinery.
Most of the ordinary civilians were in a leisurely state. Of course, they were not idle. They would participate in the cultivation of plants and food, as well as the maintenance of various things here. However, those things did not need to be done all day long like their previous jobs.
However, General was not satisfied with this state. It was now trying to increase the speed of its expansion.
All the buildings here were connected by transparent pipes. Just like at the bottom of the sea, because the pipeline was filled with fresh oxygen, the Voidfolk no longer needed to wear breathing apparatus. Green plants were planted on both sides of the pipeline, and the environment looked very beautiful and comfortable.
It wasn't just the inside of the pipe. The ground outside of the pipe was also covered in a large patch of green.
These plants can live in the air of this world. They were planted outside in large numbers. But to change the climate of this world, more efficient methods are needed … The General has been working on these plans recently.
However, this did not have much to do with the scholars, because it was not here to help them develop.
The scholar followed a pipe to the largest building here, where General was located.
However, it was not actually a building, but a battleship parked on the ground. It was connected to other buildings by pipes, so it looked like one of the buildings here.
"You're that … Taran, right?"
When the scholar came to the entrance, the guard standing in front of the door looked at the scholar with a puzzled expression, then took out a small square and said, "Please come over to confirm your identity."
"I'm Taran Tula." The scholar walked over and poked the square with its hand. Suddenly, a prompt popped up from the square. "Identity confirmed. You may enter. "
Click! At the same time, the entrance door opened. After the scholar walked in, the door closed with a click.
"The interior of this battleship is very similar to the ones on the Wanderer …" The scholar looked around and saw many civilians dressed like guards walking around.
"Get out of the way! You're interfering with the cleaning! " The scholar suddenly felt something hit its foot. It looked down and saw that it was a cylindrical machine with the words "cleaning" written on it.
"Why did you set the cleaning machine to this attitude …" The scholar walked around the machine and opened the image in the helmet to look at the map.
"The captain's room seems to be quite far …" Following the map, the scholar walked around the battleship and finally arrived at the place it wanted to go.
Click!
When the door of the captain's room opened, a large group of Voidfolk appeared in front of it. They all turned to look at the scholar at the same time when the door opened.
"You're here." All of the Voidfolk looked confused, except for one Voidfolk.
General walked out from the group of Voidfolk and came to the front of the scholar. It looked at it carefully and said, "We finally … meet. You look … Forget it, it's nothing."
"I just introduced you to them." General turned to look at the other Voidfolk and said, "They have a rough understanding of your situation, so …"
"What? You're only introducing it and not me? " Suddenly, a voice rang out. Cryopteris climbed on top of the scholar's head and said, "Don't you know that a great being like me is also here?"
"… Of course I introduced you." General looked at Cryopteris and said, "Now all the Voidfolk here know you … And, I also told them that you are their leader."
"I see. Looks like you're more sensible." Cryopteris said as it crawled back into the scholar's helmet. The other Voidfolk looked at it with a shocked expression.
However, the general did introduce them, but the feeling of seeing them in person and hearing about them was completely different …
"Then …" General continued, "Your arrival here means that you are willing to participate in this operation … The target of this operation has been stated before, but there are still many details that need to be confirmed. In short … they are your team members."
General looked at the Voidfolk behind him and said, "Introduce yourselves first. We'll start with you."
"Yes … Yes!" A female Voidfolk named by the general stepped forward and said nervously to the scholar, "My name is Yili, hello … I'm an archaeologist, I'm good at discovering all kinds of cultural relics …"
After the introduction, another male Voidfolk stepped forward and said, "My name is Zong Zu, I'm a soldier, I've received many kinds of training …"
The introduction did not last long. After they finished introducing themselves one by one, the scholar had a basic understanding of them.
There were a total of twenty-two Voidfolk in this team, twenty-three if the scholar was included. There were five biologists, three engineers, two archaeologists, two geologists, and ten guards.
These were the elites handpicked by the general. They would participate in the exploration of connected worlds, but their main purpose was to reach a certain place and set up a camp there.
After the camp was set up, they could return after inspecting the local situation. It seemed to be a relatively simple mission.
At least the description was relatively simple …
After introducing themselves, the scholar left this place because the general said that the operation would take place in ten days. During this time, there was still a lot of preparation to be done.
The scholar stayed in the room that the general had prepared for her in the warship.
"These things, it's been a long time since I've used them …"
Sitting on the bed in the room, the scholar looked at the various daily necessities of the Voidfolk around her, as well as the video playback device fixed to the wall. She felt a sense of nostalgia appear in her mind …
"Well, now you should be ready to become stronger than before."
Cryopteris' voice pulled the scholar back from her nostalgia. The scholar found that Cryopteris had jumped onto the table in front of her and spat out a mass of … jelly.
The scholar looked at it in confusion, "What … What are you doing?"
"Eat this." Cryopteris poked the jelly in front of her and said, "Then you'll become slightly stronger than before."
"You want me … to eat this?" The scholar was obviously unwilling.
"Of course, you just need to smell it a little, and you'll find it delicious." Cryopteris said, "Hurry up, don't be so slow. Otherwise, it'll be difficult to move around in that world."
"…" Although the scholar was still unwilling, she still went over to smell it. As Cryopteris said, this jelly-like object smelled particularly … fragrant.
This fragrance seemed to be something that could only be emitted by very delicious food, but the scholar was still a little hesitant. She still remembered how Cryopteris spat it out …
However, this hesitation did not last for long …
… Just like that, ten days later …
"Alright, it's time to go now!"
Twenty-three Voidfolk were now standing in front of a metal door. This door was installed with many fixing and sealing devices, and now, these devices were slowly opening one after another under the sound of metal.
"You should all understand your mission. While completing the mission … the most important thing is to pay attention to your safety. Then … let's go!"
