"We … … must … … must destroy them! Kill them all! "
One of Lin's pompoms was floating in a certain spot.
Looking around, she could see towering rocky cliffs. And upon these cliffs … … there were spherical metallic objects everywhere.
They were of different sizes. Some had a diameter of over 10 metres while others were only around 2 metres. There were many cracks on the surface of the spheres and a faint light shone out from the cracks, illuminating this valley that was supposed to be dark.
All of these spherical metallic objects had only one function, and that was … … housing.
Lin's pompoms had arrived at the location where the 'country bumpkins' were firing missiles at the enemy. Looking down from a high altitude, one would be able to see that the ground was filled with cracks.
Inside the crack, there were many living creatures.
Unlike the 'country bumpkins', Lin's pompoms were not attacked by missiles when they approached the place. However, after entering the valley, they were besieged by the living creatures living here.
After Lin communicated with them for a bit, they temporarily … … trusted the pompoms and allowed them to visit the place.
Lin had learned the language of the living creatures here from the country bumpkins' memories. These two creatures shared the same language and could be considered to be of the same species.
Their body structure was similar to 'frost stones'. Only, the ones on the mountain looked like country bumpkins while this one looked like … …
Caterpillars.
They were usually around one metre long and their bodies were covered with sharp hairs. They looked like real caterpillars.
However, unlike caterpillars, their sharp hairs were not used for self-defence. Instead, they were mainly used as a means of movement.
Because these caterpillars could not fly, they needed to use these … … hairs to move. At the same time, there were many joints on the hairs, allowing them to move about like tentacles.
Additionally, the hairs were also their main means of communication. By using the hairs to make different … … postures, they could express various meanings. As the pompoms also happened to have a lot of hairs, they were able to easily communicate with them.
After interacting with them, Lin found out that they were also the original inhabitants of this place. They had once flourished here. But now, they could only hide here and live a difficult life.
The difficulty was not only due to the lack of resources here. Another reason was … … they were constantly threatened by fear.
The pompoms were slowly floating at the bottom of the valley. Lin could see that there were many caterpillars here. They were using the hairs on their bodies to rub against each other.
This meant that they were rather … angry.
"We have to kill them all!" Blow them up! "" Why is there a strange damned creature here? I almost couldn't stop myself … from killing it! "
Lin could simulate their movements in her mind as a 'voice', and that was what they were trying to express.
Lin discovered that they had always maintained an extreme hatred for the country bumpkins on the mountain. They were constantly thinking about killing those country bumpkins.
This was also the main reason why they had launched the missiles in that direction. They were like country bumpkins and had similar missile manufacturing skills.
However, they had a major problem … The materials for making missiles here were not as plentiful as the ones on the other side of the mountain. It was said that they were quite difficult to … excavate, and they were rare.
As long as they found enough materials, they would immediately make missiles, but because of their anger, they were quite … impatient. Therefore, whenever they had a small number of missiles, they would immediately launch them. They will not store enough weapons to wage war.
However, this could also be their original purpose, because these caterpillars now mainly relied on this anger … to live here.
They did not directly abandon fear like the country bumpkins. Although they were similar creatures, there was a big difference in their structure. In short, caterpillars had fear.
Currently, the only way for them to avoid fear was to maintain anger.
Because their brain would not activate the 'fear' part when they were angry, because for caterpillars, these two emotions were conflicting. There would only be one emotion in their brain.
As long as they maintained anger, they could avoid … They were affected by fear. Lin had previously used some miniature troops to examine their bodies and discovered this reason for their constant anger.
Lin thought. It would be better to call them 'angry bugs'.
In order to survive, the 'angry bugs' must always remember anger. Fortunately, they had an opponent, which was the group of country bumpkins on the mountain who had completely abandoned fear.
In fact, the reason these angry bugs lived in the valley was not mainly because of the fear energy, but because the country bumpkins did it.
It seemed that when the fear energy came, the angry bugs started attacking them. The country bumpkins began to attack the angry bugs, so the angry bugs could only hide in these valleys, which made them hate the country bumpkins very much.
They also discovered that as long as they maintained their hatred and anger, they would not be affected by fear. If they did not maintain it … their bodies would constantly secrete some 'fear substance'. Originally, this was a substance produced in their body when they were afraid.
But under the influence of fear energy, this substance would be produced continuously until it affected all the organs in the body and led to death.
Therefore … this group of angry bugs had been living here for a long time.
They did not need to rest like sleeping, so as long as they wanted to, they could keep it up. However, it was not easy, but those who could not maintain their anger were already dead.
The remaining ones were all successful. Under anger, they still had rationality and knew to make buildings and daily necessities.
That was why Lin could see a large number of buildings here, but these buildings were very simple. They were more focused on … here.
The pompom had flown to the end of the valley, and under the rock wall, Lin could see a large cave where the angry bugs were going in and out.
Most of the angry bugs that came out carried some things that they dug out in the cave.
In fact, there were many similar caves in the valley here. Missiles and various other materials, as well as food, were all dug out from the ground here.
And there was also a wonderful place underground here … there were no fear micro-machines here.
Lin had checked before and found that the fear here was attached to the micro-machines, and the micro-machines were all over the place close to the surface, and in some places, they directly covered the ground.
However, there were no micro-machines near these valleys, as if the micro-machines deliberately did not cover them, so Lin was very interested in this place.
At this time, the pompom had flown into the cave. This cave was like a mine, and there were many machines on the surrounding walls.
These machines looked like … arms. They were usually several meters long, and the end was in the shape of a drill. They were responsible for digging the cave.
However, they would only throw the things they dug out aside. Then, the angry bugs would have to personally identify and pick out these things, taking out the useful things and throwing away the unwanted things.
During the flight, many of the angry worms looked at the pompom. They were creatures with vision, and their gazes were always filled with hatred.
Some of them wanted to attack the pompom, but the pompom had communicated with their leader before coming here. The leader used something like a broadcast to control all the angry bugs, so they now knew that the pompom was a target that they could not attack.
But they still wanted … to do something.
Lin quickly flew over and moved deeper into the cave. Only by leaving their field of vision would they not do anything.
Moreover, Lin would be able to get closer to the things that Lin was curious about.
After reaching the depths of the mine, Lin could see more and more machines around her. The things they dug out were everywhere on the ground, and the angry bugs here … did not appear as angry as before.
This place was already very far from the surface, and the fear covering the ground … seemed to have less effect the deeper they went.
Therefore, the angry bugs in this place did not need to be angry all the time.
Although being angry had become a habit for them, so no matter what, they would still have some anger, but it was better than the ones above.
Lin thought that there might be a lot of fear in deeper places, but now it seemed that was not the case, at least not in this place.
Could it be that there was something special in this canyon?
From the memory of a previous angry bug, it seemed to be like this only recently. Not long ago, this canyon was still covered in fear, and they had a device that could detect 'fear index'. It was a device left behind from the past.
Just like a country bumpkin, the technology of the angry bugs in the past was much better than now, but after the upheaval, they only retained a small amount of technology and anger.
And now, they could not restore the technology of the past …
Lin was now looking for an answer as to why there was suddenly no fear here. At the same time, Lin asked a relatively … calm angry bug nearby.
Lin's main question was whether they had dug up anything strange while digging here. The angry bug replied that there were only useful and useless things, and there was no category of 'strange'.
In other words, things that they could not understand might be classified as useless and then thrown away.
If that was the case, then let's go to their … garbage dump to take a look.
Lin felt that there was something special about this place, and the young Core Protector also thought so. (To be continued.)
