These creatures … were given a heavy responsibility.
The responsibility of saving the entire race and destroying the invaders.
There were many things they needed to do. They needed to complete a certain mission and become the hero of the entire race … or … watch the entire race perish.
They held the ideal of saving the race and entered a long slumber. In countless dreams, they kept thinking … Was it to destroy or to save?
When they woke up, they realized that they could not achieve either.
An empty and dark city appeared before their eyes. There were no enemies, no allies, only wreckage and ruins.
They wandered among the ruins. No matter how elite they were, they could only slowly starve to death …
Some of the Dust Crocodiles were unwilling to die like this. They thought of various ways to survive and find out what was going on.
Most of them had … recording equipment. In fact, these equipment were already prepared before they were 'paused.' It was mainly for them to record the situation after they woke up, record the status of the enemies who were paused, and record how the elites saved the race.
But now, these recording equipment had become … tools to record their slow death.
The Dust Crocodiles … had great endurance. Even without food, they could still hold on for a long time. This made them suffer during this period of time.
These recording equipment also recorded how they lived through this difficult period. The Scholar was now reading their … diary.
In the room of the Mechanical Dust Crocodile, the Mechanical Dust Crocodile continued to play one recording video after another for the Scholar. In these videos, the Scholar saw the scenes of the Dust Crocodiles living hard in the ruins.
… No, they weren't living. They were just wandering around because they couldn't find any food at all. But … there was still some water.
The Scholar found that it seemed that when the Dust Crocodiles were paused, they did not consume any physical strength. Therefore, when these Dust Crocodiles woke up, the stored … fat in their bodies was very plump.
This allowed them to hold on for a long time. In addition, some of the buildings had water that could be found. They had a lot of time to wander around the ruins.
However, the Scholar did not know how long the actual time was. After all, there was no accurate time measurement. In various videos, these awakened Dust Crocodiles wandered around the entire city.
They usually went to confirm the more important places, such as the military base and the parliament building. They first confirmed the situation in those places.
But these places … had nothing.
The Scholar also felt that this was very strange. There were no … Flesh Dust Crocodiles or complete Mechanical Dust Crocodiles in these places. It was as if the whole place had been ransacked.
Then, the elite Dust Crocodiles went deep underground to confirm the situation of the Frozen Bloom.
However, the path leading to the underground was sealed. It seemed that because of the war, the road was blocked by a large amount of gravel.
Later on, many Dust Crocodiles stayed in the city and died one after another. However, their recordings were usually kept and found by other Dust Crocodiles.
Among the many images, the Scholar noticed a special Dust Crocodile.
This Dust Crocodile had a special idea. It was trying to … revive the Mechanical Dust Crocodile.
Although he couldn't find any physical Dust Crocodiles, there were mechanical Dust Crocodiles' remains everywhere. Although they were called remains, there were still many intact remains.
The Dust Crocodile tried to find a way to repair them and wrote down the process in his diary.
He found that every Mechanical Dust Crocodile was in a state of complete "shutdown," even if the control core was intact. There was no way to wake them up using normal methods.
Therefore, the Dust Crocodile thought of a way, which was to use a special item. That item was the Scholar found … The Golden Cube.
The Golden Cube was something … with a story. To put it simply, this item was originally used to control the Mechanical Dust Crocodiles. In the beginning, the Mechanical Dust Crocodiles and the Flesh Dust Crocodiles were not in an equal state.
They could be said to be a group of slaves … They were controlled by the Flesh Dust Crocodiles and repeatedly did all kinds of work. Until a certain time, this group of Mechanical Dust Crocodiles suddenly left this slave life and obtained an equal position with the Flesh Dust Crocodiles.
The Scholar didn't know what exactly happened because the Mechanical Dust Crocodiles showed him the previous recordings. Only then did the Scholar understand part of it.
After breaking free, the Flesh Dust Crocodiles made a promise to the Mechanical Dust Crocodiles, which was to destroy all the Golden Cubes that were used to control them.
This Golden Cubes had the ability to allow the Flesh Dust Crocodiles to completely control the Mechanical Dust Crocodiles. After all of them were destroyed, the Mechanical Dust Crocodiles were considered to have obtained freedom.
But … not all of them were destroyed.
A small number of the Golden Cubes were still stored in a secret place and strictly guarded. Moreover, no Mechanical Dust Crocodiles knew about it. In fact, the purpose of keeping these Golden Cubes was very simple, which was that the Flesh Dust Crocodiles were still wary of the Mechanical Dust Crocodiles.
Perhaps this was the reason why the awakened elites only chose flesh and not machinery? After all, if everything was paused … then it was very likely that they would discover the Golden Cubes that were still stored.
If a machine discovered it, it might be very angry and take advantage of the pause to kill the other Flesh Dust Crocodiles.
In order to prevent this from happening, they only chose the Flesh Dust Crocodiles as the awakened elites … However, this was also the Scholar's idea. After all, the reason for choosing them was not clearly stated.
Perhaps, if they knew that this would be the situation after the pause, they would definitely choose the Mechanical Dust Crocodiles. After all, they didn't need to eat.
As for the energy used by the machines, there seemed to be a lot of it here.
Next, the Dust Crocodiles in the recording went to the place where the Golden Cubes were stored. This place was a very big building. The Golden Cubes were stored in a very big place like … a vault.
There were a total of ten Golden Cubes placed there. This Elite Dust Crocodiles had the right to open them directly. It took a Golden Cubes from inside and then closed the place.
The Dust Crocodiles walked to the street outside and used the Golden Cubes to make the Mechanical Dust Crocodiles move.
However, this action … did not succeed. For some reason, the Golden Cubes seemed to have no effect.
The Scholar found that the way to operate the Golden Cubes seemed to be using fingers to constantly rub the surface of the Golden Cubes. There was no special way to operate it, and the Golden Cubes were not opened either.
After failing once, the Dust Crocodiles continued to try to activate other machines. It kept experimenting on the street, but those Mechanical Dust Crocodiles that seemed to be in perfect condition could not be moved.
This Dust Crocodiles did not seem to be engineering experts. Although it knew to take apart the Mechanical Dust Crocodiles to see the internal situation, it did not seem to understand much. It only knew the general situation, which was that the Mechanical Dust Crocodiles … had stopped.
As for the Golden Cubes, it did not take apart them.
However, on its way to find a Mechanical Dust Crocodile that could be activated, it finally found … a Mechanical Dust Crocodile that could be activated.
This Mechanical Dust Crocodile was the one that was with the Scholar now.
It did not know why only it could be activated. Moreover, after activating it, this Elite Dust Crocodile was …
About to die.
In the end, it could only give its camera equipment to the activated Mechanical Dust Crocodile and let it complete the task for it. Then, it fell to the ground and did not get up.
The Mechanical Dust Crocodile found that it was activated by the Golden Cubes, but it did not think much of it. It just took the Golden Cubes and the camera equipment with it and began its journey.
Its thoughts were the same as the Elite Dust Crocodile, which was to save the entire population and figure out the situation here.
Since it was a machine, it did not need to eat, so it should be able to do it.
For a long time, it wandered on the street and looked for a solution everywhere.
This Mechanical Dust Crocodile was not an Elite. It was just a 'civilian'.
Therefore, compared to other Elites who acted quickly, it did not know what to do at all. It only knew how to wander around and did not find anything in the end.
However, it would not die because it could still find something that could still be used from abandoned vehicles or the remains of other Mechanical Dust Crocodile … something like a 'battery' that could be used as an energy source.
Later, it found its own place of residence.
Which was where the Scholar and it were now.
This place that looked like … an underground dormitory was originally inhabited by many Mechanical Dust Crocodile, including the Scholar. Therefore, it used this place as its base of operations. If it found something useful outside, it would bring it back.
Useful things generally referred to the videos of other Elite Dust Crocodile. During this period of time, it collected a lot and brought all the videos back here.
At the same time, it also entered many more important buildings and found a lot of information inside. Then, it made a recording video of itself.
It was the video that the Scholar had seen before. It was about the beginning of the war and the end of the Mechanical Dust Crocodile's collective decision to use Frozen Bloom.
However, during this period of time, the Mechanical Dust Crocodile also encountered some problems. One of the problems was the 'Sand Bones'.
The Sand Bones were indeed made by the Mechanical Dust Crocodile. They were originally produced in a factory.
Of course, the Mechanical Dust Crocodile did not know the manufacturing principle of the Sand Bones. It only knew that they were a product, which seemed to be … a product used for cleaning.
However, at some point, the Sand Bones factory suddenly had a … change. All the Sand Bones suddenly moved and … ran out.
Then, the Sand Bones were scattered in every building and had a habit of pouncing on anything that moved close to it.
At first, the Mechanical Dust Crocodile was also a little afraid of this kind of thing, but now it was used to it.
