So, this place was its room …
Lin's mechanical octopus was now … inside Atlan's room.
When Lin arrived, she found that the 'door' was not closed. She could be teleported into the room by touching the wall.
After entering the room, Lin found that this was indeed a very suitable place for an Atlan to live in. The furniture and buildings here were very similar to the various Atlan … civilisations that Lin had seen before.
However, this Atlan appeared somewhat special.
Lin had been rummaging through this place earlier. She found a lot of … weapons here.
It had created a lot of weapons, most of them recently. It had made a lot of preparations for this situation. At the same time, Lin also found a lot of food here.
They were all food that could be stored for a long time. These things could allow it to live for a long time, although not as long as 100,000 pom-poms.
Of course, it had also stored water. This meant that this Atlan had made a lot of preparations before the war began.
But this also meant that it seemed to know that the battleship would stop operating and not be destroyed.
It felt that it could continue to live on this stopped warship. That was why it had prepared these things … it had known what would happen after the war from the very beginning.
This Atlan appeared to know a lot. Additionally, it appeared that it had no intention of hiding anything …
Because Lin found some diary entries written by it in this room.
These diary entries were written in … the language of Ershi's residents. It was the same language used by the first group of Ershi's residents that Lin encountered on Mars. In other words, it was not Atlan, but Ershi's residents.
However, it looked very similar to the real Atlan. Lin felt that it might just know the language. In any case, she decided to treat it as an Atlan for now.
This Atlan did not stay in Ershi's place. Instead, it was born in a very special place …
At present, Lin was looking at this diary entry. It was recorded on a disc. Touching it would cause a 3D image to pop out.
Judging from the beginning of the diary entry … It appeared that it had been recording the diary since a long time ago. However, after arriving here, it transferred the contents of the diary into the disc.
In the beginning of the diary entry, it wrote … that it came from a place called 'Void City'.
Although the name made it sound like a city, it was actually a very enclosed and narrow place. According to the description in the diary. From the day it could remember, it had seen corridors and rooms made of metal.
There were also many of their kind here. They taught Atlan, who was still a cub, to grow up day by day. However, it was a place where there was no day or night, just like its name. Void City was located in the void.
Atlan, who lived in an enclosed area, had been constantly learning all kinds of things. Although it couldn't see the outside environment, its teacher often taught it how the outside environment was … bad.
To put it simply, the outside environment was a vast space filled with floating debris and wreckage. These things included all kinds of objects, such as the wreckage of giant creatures, the ruins of civilizations, and many other unknown things.
The Atlans lived in a certain … small space in this huge Void Ruins.
Their method of obtaining resources was to continuously collect them from the surrounding ruins. It seemed that there were many multicellular creatures nearby, and they mainly used these creatures as food. At the same time, they also collected many useful things in the surroundings to make necessary items, repair old equipment, and so on.
Therefore, the most important occupation of this group of Atlan was "scavenger."
The Atlan who kept the diary … was also known as Rosalie. She had been taught since she was young to become a great scavenger. There were many complicated skills and techniques involved in scavenging, which required courage and wisdom.
And this … Rosalie's performance in all aspects showed that it was stronger than its peers of the same age, so it grew rapidly.
Soon, it reached the stage of "adulthood." It became a scavenger and left the place it had always lived. From there, it left to explore.
Then …
Bang!
Lin felt the head of the mechanical octopus was hit by something with a strong impact. It was … a warhead.
Lin looked back and saw … an Atlan's hand at the entrance of the room, and this hand was holding a weapon. The warhead just now was shot by this weapon.
This scene only lasted for a second. The hand immediately retracted into the light at the entrance, but Lin's mechanical octopus' tentacles immediately reached out.
The tentacles quickly reached into the light and grabbed Atlan, who was outside, and pulled him in.
Bang! Bang! Bang! Atlan struggled for a bit, and when it realized it couldn't break free, it shot at the octopus several times.
Each time, it hit the octopus's head. There were some structures that looked like eyes nearby, and one of them was indeed broken.
Lin's mechanical octopus had a lot of eyes, so it couldn't break all of them, and was pulled in by Lin.
It realized that its current weapon wasn't effective, so it immediately threw it aside and prepared to take out another weapon.
Its movements were very skillful. It didn't struggle when it was bound, and it immediately made a judgment and counterattacked. Lin felt that it was indeed like what the diary said … it had received training.
The diary described the scavenger's training, including the training to face dangerous creatures, and it was very proficient.
Lin also felt that it had been a scavenger for a while, but when Lin wanted to read the next content … it was attacked.
But after it came here, it might be better because Lin could ask it directly.
Seeing that it was about to take out a weapon, Lin quickly grabbed its hand and asked, "Do you know Ershi?"
"You can talk?"
It seemed that every creature had the same reaction, but after it said that, it immediately reacted and asked, "What are you? Ershi … what do you mean? "
Lin put it down and told it some things about Ershi.
"What? There's a world called Ershi? " After it heard that, it showed a strange expression and said, "I didn't know there was such a world, but you said that many of my kind live there … who are you? Why do you know all this? "
"I've been there," Lin said, "Since you haven't, let's talk about something else."
Then, Lin continued to talk about many things with Atlan.
Although it was very curious about Lin's identity as a mechanical octopus, it was still willing to discuss many things with the octopus, such as … its past.
It said that it used to live in a place called Void City, where a group of Atlan lived.
That place was like a space station, and there were about 3,000 Atlan living there. They had been collecting resources there, trying to expand the space and increase their numbers.
When Lin asked it why they were in that place, it said that it did not know. The common view was that they … drifted here from afar.
But that was only a story, it did not find any actual records.
It also did not investigate too much. When it was young, it was either learning or playing, and when it grew up, it immediately joined the scavenger team, donned a custom-made suit of armor, and began to move around outside.
The outside of Void City was often called 'ruins'. There were broken pieces everywhere, but there were also quite a few creatures living there.
And these broken pieces were mainly moving around a Tumbler.
The Atlan called the Tumbler a 'gravity sphere', mainly because it attracted a lot of the broken pieces around it.
But these broken pieces did not fall on the surface of the Tumbler. Instead, they all surrounded the sphere. At the same time, this sphere was also a wandering world, and there were no stars or anything like that around it.
It was said that some Atlan had once boarded the 'gravity sphere', but they never returned, and there was no communication. So, no one tried to go to the gravity sphere, and they all lived in the ruins.
They believed that sooner or later, they would be able to develop and rule the entire ruins.
This Atlan called Rosalie also believed that there would be such a time.
However, not long after it became a scavenger, it suddenly found that it was caught by the captors.
Because it was very good at making all kinds of tools and armor, it began to answer questions successfully and joined the group of creatures in the captors' warships.
Then, it lived until now. Because of its popular personality, it slowly became one of the more famous characters here.
"I've lived here for a long time," Rosalie said. "During this time, I've also been studying the captors. These things appear to be very good to us, but in reality, they only treat us as objects of observation"
"However, they are very open to information management, so I know that I might be able to survive this war, but my leisurely life in the past will have to come to an end," Rosalie said. "In fact, my life now is not much different from before. I have to hunt everywhere, collect items …"
Rosalie suddenly said: "I've told you a lot about me, so you should also tell me about yourself … you said that you've been to one of our … worlds, is that true?"
"I've seen many of your kind," Lin said: "They're scattered all over the Void City"
"I have many of my kind?" Rosalie was quite surprised: "How did you meet them?"
"…"
After thinking for a bit, Lin told it a few things about other Atlan. Every time she said something, it felt quite unbelievable … (~ ^ ~)
