The Awakeners were the elites among the Dust Crocodiles.
The Mechanical Dust Crocodile had also joined the Awakeners because of the cube, but it did not like this feeling of loneliness.
Therefore, it had been trying to find other companions. In fact, it had even found some other awakened elite Dust Crocodiles.
These Dust Crocodiles also moved with it for a while, but in the end, they could not resist hunger and fell down. There was nothing they could do.
In the past, the Dust Crocodiles mainly relied on the food they cultivated to eat, just like how the Voidfolk cultivated algae. However, after waking up, the elite Dust Crocodiles also went to the place where the food was cultivated, but they could not find any food there.
In fact, there was no living thing. Without living things, there was no way to cultivate them. Even if some of the machinery used to cultivate food could still be used, it was meaningless.
The Dust Crocodiles also did not have the technology to cultivate their own cells or fungi into a large amount of edible food, so in the end, they could not survive.
The Mechanical Dust Crocodile could only collect all kinds of information alone. It worked hard on its own, but it found that there was too little it could do. It could not find any information about suspension at all, nor did it have any clues.
Until a certain time … the Mechanical Dust Crocodile found some new awakeners, and that was the three-legged pillar.
The three-legged pillar belonged to the enemy. It was one of the enemy's troop classes and usually used explosives to attack. It was a relatively large number of … elementary troop classes.
In fact, the Mechanical Dust Crocodile was not sure whether these three-legged pillars were awakened or where they came from. In short, it had never … seen them before.
The three-legged pillars suddenly appeared, and as soon as they encountered the Mechanical Dust Crocodile, they would immediately attack.
Although the three-legged pillars had disappeared with the enemy for a long time, the mines and other things buried by the three-legged pillars in the previous war were still there. The three-legged pillars would detonate the mines as a means of attack.
In this way, under the continuous attacks of the three-legged pillars, the Dust Crocodile's life became more and more difficult. It always had to be careful to avoid being discovered when it went out to collect information.
Later, during an attack by the three-legged pillars, the Dust Crocodile was hit by a mine, and its lower body was almost completely blown apart. Although its upper body did not suffer much damage, it still entered a … suspended state.
Later, the Scholar encountered the Dust Crocodile.
The Scholar accidentally touched the cube, which woke up the Dust Crocodiles that had gone into hibernation. Then, they were attacked by the three-legged pillar. Fortunately, they managed to escape.
The moment the Dusty Crocodile saw the Scholar, it thought the Scholar was its companion. It treated the Scholar as an ally.
This place, to be precise, was the location of the abandoned pipeline project. There were many … kingdoms, including the Dusty Crocodile's kingdom. There were many other kingdoms nearby, and all kinds of creatures lived in them.
These countries usually had a lot of trade and so on. During the war, they were all invaded, so they formed an alliance.
However, this alliance had no obvious use, because each country was busy dealing with the invaders in their own territory and had no way to support other countries.
But at least something as important as the Alliance Conference was held in the Dusty Crocodile Nation, because only the Dusty Crocodile Nation had something like 'Frozen Bloom'.
To be precise, there was a switch for this thing here.
Therefore, saving the population was mostly done by the Dust Crocodiles. However, it was said that there were also some awakened elites in other countries.
The Mechanical Dust Crocodile treated the Scholar as an awakened elite from another country. Therefore, when the Scholar was about to be affected by the explosion, it tried to push the Scholar away.
Even though the Mechanical Dust Crocodile had never seen the Scholar before, for a civilian like the Mechanical Dust Crocodile, it did not remember … the appearance of all the creatures in other countries.
The Scholar excited it mainly because … the Scholar was a machine.
The Dusty Crocodile thought that this way, the same problem as the other elites would not happen. As long as there was a companion, it would be easier to deal with the situation here.
It decided to show the Scholar these records and the diary of the elites so that the Scholar could understand the general situation here and then come up with a solution together.
The final goal … of course, was to eliminate the enemy and revive the entire population.
Now, the Scholar had a general understanding of the situation, but the Scholar was not sure … how to solve the current situation.
The current situation was obvious. The two sides that were originally fighting had disappeared after being frozen. What was left were all kinds of wreckage and … awakened elites.
There were also those strange sand bones and the three-legged pillar that suddenly appeared.
In fact, the elite Dusty Crocodiles now had a way to survive. They could hunt … the three-legged pillar for food.
Or they could study what the three-legged pillar ate. After all, the three-legged pillar was also a cellular organism …
But now, there were no other elites.
There was a strange thing that happened earlier. In the restaurant, the three-legged pillar did not attack the Scholar. The Scholar thought it was possible that they recognized the Scholar as a creature that did not belong here.
When they were attacked on the street, the Scholar and the Dusty Crocodile were together. But when they were in the restaurant, the Dusty Crocodile hid, so they did not notice.
After thinking about it, the Scholar decided to do this. It told the Mechanical Dust Crocodile to bring it to the location of the 'Frozen Bloom' device.
In this series of events, the most peculiar thing was, of course, this device. How did it make all kinds of creatures' freeze '? This interested the Scholar very much.
"Underground, enter, impossible."
The Mechanical Dust Crocodile gave the Scholar such an answer. In fact, it had been there many times before, but it realized that it was not easy to move the collapsed stones away.
However, the Scholar still asked to take a look. It should have a solution.
Therefore, the Mechanical Dust Crocodile agreed to the Scholar's request and started to lead the Scholar into action.
After passing through the corridor that was filled with sand bones, the Scholar and the Mechanical Dust Crocodile came to the exit of the hemispherical building.
Outside the exit was still the same street that was full of scars, but the Scholar and the Mechanical Dust Crocodile did not see any three-legged pillar. Perhaps now was the safest time.
Therefore, they quickly ran out of the building and followed the Mechanical Dust Crocodile. The Scholar ran quickly towards a place that looked like an underground passage in the distance.
Soon, they entered the passage. There was no danger along the way.
