"We've won! The threat of invasion is over! It's all because of this group of mighty … awakened elites! We've won this victory, and we'll record it in history forever! "
This was a city that was once dark, but now it was brightly lit. The entire city was filled with cheers. All the residents enjoyed the emergency food distributed by the army while celebrating the hard-won victory.
Almost all the devices that could receive images were broadcasting … news. The news mentioned the thirty-one Dust Crocodiles, including two from foreign races, who had made great contributions to this frozen war.
Now that the flames of war had been extinguished, the task of rebuilding their home was about to begin. All the residents had to participate to welcome a new future!
The news was full of encouraging words, which made all the residents' blood boil. They quickly began to rebuild the city, working hard to restore the bustling city of the past, so that the future would be even better!
On the other side, the Dust Crocodiles who knew the 'truth' felt a little different from the residents outside …
"In other words … we didn't wake up at the end of the solidification period, but for some reason, we suddenly woke up?"
This was a seemingly luxurious room. The floor was covered with a soft, colorful carpet, and there was a large plant that shone with a crystalline light hanging from the ceiling.
The Mechanical Dust Crocodile and Shi Ping sat on a sofa made from the skin of some unknown creature.
The Scholar stood on the side, because the sofa the Dust Crocodile was sitting on … wasn't suitable for her. However, she wasn't tired now, so it didn't matter.
They were all staring at a Dust Crocodile that was walking around the sofa. This Dust Crocodile was dressed in black from head to toe, and it wore a round hat on its head. There were many … things that could be called medals stuck on it, almost covering the entire hat.
The number of medals indicated that it was a great crocodile, or at least, it had a high status. The Scholar heard the arrangers call this Dust Crocodile 'Commander'.
Not long ago, the Scholar and the others came to this building. According to the arrangers' arrangements, they were all … asked in detail about what happened during the solidification period.
Shi Ping and the Scholar only described it verbally, so they didn't go into too much detail. As for the Mechanical Dust Crocodile, it didn't hide anything and directly took out the recording.
The Mechanical Dust Crocodile's body had a recording function. It had always recorded everything it saw, so now … the Dust Crocodile knew exactly what happened.
This caused the Dust Crocodiles to fall into a state of panic, because they had always thought that in the process of the two armies being frozen and 'suspended', the elites had wiped out the entire enemy army, leaving only a small portion, such as the Three-Legged Pillars, and then found some way to awaken the Dust Crocodiles.
Or they might have awakened naturally, but that wasn't important. What was important … was that the enemy forces should've been wiped out.
However, judging from the recording of the Mechanical Dust Crocodile, that wasn't the case.
Fortunately, the ones panicking were only the Dust Crocodiles in charge of the investigation in this elite building. This … of course, the real situation was not broadcasted, so the Dust Crocodiles outside still thought that they had won and were celebrating.
The high-ranking Dust Crocodiles, including this … Commander, quickly learned of this matter. Thus, he quickly rushed here and after understanding the details … he met with the Scholar and the other two.
As for why they didn't meet the other elites, it was because the other elites were just like Shi Ping had said. They were all … elites who hadn't woken up yet.
Most of them told the truth, but there were a few who said they were fighting hard for the reward, but they were all recognized.
There was only one … the 'traitor' who ate the canned food. It had already been captured.
This was because the recording provided by the Mechanical Dust Crocodile had a lot of negative information about it.
"In short, you didn't wipe out the enemy forces …" The commander walked in front of them with a troubled expression. "And it also proves … that the solidified creatures can disappear, which means they can appear at any time …"
"Yes! Commander! " The Mechanical Dust Crocodile immediately replied. "So we need to take action immediately. We need to prepare the army. That way, we can take the initiative and attack them when they suddenly appear!"
"We're already taking action … but there are still many problems …" As he said that, the commander looked at the Scholar and said, "What I want to know is, which country are you from?"
"Me?" The Scholar was stunned.
"That's right. I know all the races of other countries, but I've never seen anyone like you. Why are you here? And … you. " As he said that, the commander looked at Shi Ping and said, "If you want to find anything in our country, you need to get our permission first."
"…" Shi Ping didn't say anything.
The Scholar felt that the commander was a little … arrogant? This was because his tone was filled with disdain, and he dared to directly … meet Shi Ping.
The Scholar believed that the commander had seen the recording of the Mechanical Dust Crocodile, but he actually directly … met Shi Ping and Shi Ping, and even spoke to them with such an attitude.
He was either very powerful … or very stupid.
Although the Mechanical Dust Crocodile was clearly a creature with a personality, the Scholar often felt that there was something strange about them.
Beep. The Scholar suddenly heard a very soft sound. It came from the commander's … hat, but the commander patted the hat very quickly, and the sound disappeared.
"In short … your appearances have already been publicized, so I won't do anything to you," said the commander. "However, you can't do anything … harmful to us. If you don't have a place to stay, you can stay here for now. We'll talk about it later."
With that, the commander quickly walked out. He closed the door heavily, leaving behind … a few creatures in the luxurious room.
"…" The Scholar wondered what he was here for. The commander didn't seem to have said anything useful. It seemed to have just … warned them?
Letting the Scholar and the others stay here also felt like they were being watched. In simpler terms, the recording of the Mechanical Dust Crocodile made them rather suspicious. However, just like what had been said before, the commander wouldn't do anything to them.
After all, the propaganda had already been spread. The residents outside also believed that they had been saved by a large group of elites and were no longer in a dangerous state where they didn't know when the enemy would appear. As a result, the commander would still ensure their safety and slowly investigate them in the future.
"What do you plan on doing then?" The Scholar asked Shi Ping, "Continue searching … for modified people?"
"Of course," Shi Ping said. "My goal won't change."
"It's best if you don't do anything dangerous," said the Mechanical Dust Crocodile. "We've all woken up!"
"Speaking of which …" The Scholar said, "That commander didn't mention your companions. Will it let them stay here? Or … "
"They haven't been discovered. They've all retreated temporarily," said Shi Ping. "As for … I don't know what happened if the commander didn't mention it."
"They're hiding?" said the Mechanical Dust Crocodile. "It's best if you all show yourselves. Don't hide! We are a civilized and peaceful race. If you are willing to have a peaceful talk with us, we are very willing. However, if you do these things secretly, you will be regarded as a dangerous target. I advise you to cooperate with us …. "
"I've always been curious …" The Scholar looked at the Mechanical Dust Crocodile and said, "You seem to … like your race."
"Of course! What's wrong with me liking my race? "said the Mechanical Dust Crocodile immediately.
"But you're not a real Mechanical Dust Crocodile …" said the Scholar. "And …"
"Even if I'm a machine, I'm still a real Mechanical Dust Crocodile!" The Mechanical Dust Crocodile stood up from the sofa and said, "I can sacrifice everything for the entire race!"
"Elite!" Suddenly, a voice rang out at the door, interrupting the conversation.
"Who is it?" asked the Scholar loudly.
"I'm the organizer!" said the voice outside the door. "Can I come in?"
"Come in."
After the door was opened, the arranger quickly ran in, and in his hand was … a sphere used to play the video.
He came over and played the image of the sphere. The three-dimensional image showed the appearance of a Mechanical Dust Crocodile. It was the elite traitor that ate the canned food.
"There's something about it." The organizer said to the Mechanical Dust Crocodile, "I want to ask because we saw your video … so we know that it's a traitor that works for the enemy."
"That's right," said the Mechanical Dust Crocodile. "This traitor killed a few elites. It must be punished!"
"Yes …" said the organizer. "But before that, we need to investigate it to understand more. So, I want to ask, did it set all the missiles to … shoot at God's location?"
"Why don't you ask it about this kind of thing?" asked the Scholar with confusion.
"That's what it said …" said the organizer. "It said that it has always been trying to understand the enemy, so it … works for them. It also believes that awakening God is the only way to victory, so it set all the settings. This …" The organizer looked at the Mechanical Dust Crocodile and said, "You didn't mention it in your video."
The Scholar also looked at the Mechanical Dust Crocodile. The Mechanical Dust Crocodile obviously knew about this. It probably didn't record it or deleted the content.
