The scorching wind blew slowly across the vast plains. Black dust covered the earth, and countless flickering light spots were mixed in the dust. They looked like sparks that had yet to be extinguished, bringing light to this scorching world.
A silhouette was moving slowly in this place.
"We've walked quite a distance."
The Scholar looked up. Its vision was always upward, but it was blocked by a large amount of dust. There was no starry sky here. The sky seemed to be always cloudy, but because the light came from the ground, it was still very bright.
"These things are really strange."
The Scholar bent down and grabbed a handful of dust on the ground. The black particles were mixed with some substances that emitted an orange light. These were very much like ashes that had not been completely extinguished. However, under the Scholar's inspection, it found that these were substances that it had never seen before.
The parts that emitted the light had an extremely high temperature, like small flames. The slightest contact with them would instantly dim and become black. The dust-like substance would also have a much lower temperature.
It was just that the temperature was much lower. Overall, it was still very hot, at least enough to cook cellular organisms.
The Scholar had never seen this substance before, but it detected that these substances were somewhat similar to solidified mushrooms. Perhaps they were related in some way.
In any case, both of them were completely new things. The Scholar could only collect samples for now and study them later.
Thinking about it, the Scholar confirmed its position.
It was now more than ten kilometers away from the truck. Along the way, it did not see anything that looked like a living thing, nor did it find anything special.
It seemed that the whole earth was covered in ashes. Occasionally, strong ash storms would blow in the sky. The strong hot wind could roll up the surrounding dust on the ground, causing the surroundings to become dark.
However, there was still nothing special. The Scholar could not find any interesting creatures or things that could be found. Therefore, it could only continue walking.
The Scholar suddenly received a signal.
It raised its hand, and the mechanical crocodile's voice came from its hand. "I know how to repair this truck. We can fly back! Come back quickly! "
The mechanical crocodile's voice was very excited. It seemed that it had found a way. The Scholar felt that it was a bit too fast. If it was really that easy to fly back, the elites that had floated over should have found a way to fly back.
"Okay." However, the Scholar still responded and rushed back.
On the way back, the Scholar Walker saw the familiar surroundings that he had come from before.
So far, the scenery it saw had always been like this. It was a large expanse of the Ashes Plain. Occasionally, it would see some big rocks protruding out or some hills and other terrains.
But there was nothing special about it. What was it?
When the Scholar took the tenth step back, it saw something that it had never seen before. Was that a bubble?
A transparent bubble with a diameter of about ten meters was located on a small hill not far to the right of the scholar.
The Scholar had seen this mountain before. At that time, the bubble was definitely not there. It had appeared out of nowhere.
What is this? The work of some kind of creature?
In the past, the scholar would have thought that there were no living creatures in such an environment. However, it was different now. Even if the dust cloud did not push the truck, it would have thought that this place was different. Creatures could appear anywhere in the void.
Therefore, the scholar slowly walked towards the small hill with doubt in his heart.
Climbing up the hill of hot dust, the scholar reached out and gently touched the transparent, thin surface of the bubble.
Then, he reached in.
Was this really an air bubble?
The Scholar suddenly had this thought because its hand had penetrated the bubble.
Although it looked exactly like the bubbles in the water, the scholar did not expect to be able to go through it. He thought that it was something very elastic.
However, since he could go through it, it meant that …
The scholar first examined the surface of the bubble. He found that the surface of the bubble was made of a relatively thin layer of material that looked like glue. And it was very cold inside.
No, it was not cold. It was more like a normal temperature for cellular creatures.
The inside and outside of the bubble could be said to be two completely different environments. The inside was extremely cool, while the outside was a hot purgatory. All of this seemed to be due to the thin, transparent material separating the two sides of the bubble.
There was a need for further investigation.
Bang! Just as the scholar was thinking about this, the entire bubble made a sound. It suddenly exploded, and the cool air inside spread out and then disappeared without a trace.
"What's wrong?" The Scholar was a little confused because the bubble in front of him had disappeared. Only the floating dust proved that the bubble was still here.
Therefore, the scholar climbed to the top of the hill and tried to dig at the top of the hill. However, he did not find anything except for the hot dust.
Where did that bubble come from?
The scholar could only leave the hill with this puzzled thought and continue walking in the direction back. This time, the scholar did not encounter anything strange until he reached the location of the truck.
The truck was still there. The body of the truck had accumulated a lot of dust due to the surrounding wind and sand. It was still lying there in a cracked state, motionless.
Just when the scholar wanted to ask about the mechanical dust crocodile, he looked at the front of the truck and froze.
There was nothing at the front of the truck.
"Where are you?" The scholar walked over and found that the bottom of the truck was opened, revealing the complex mechanical parts inside. This seemed to indicate that the mechanical dust crocodile had been here for repairs.
However, the mechanical dust crocodile was now gone. And when the scholar looked at the window, he found that the driver's seat was empty.
The elite mummy inside was also gone.
It was understandable that the mechanical dust crocodile was gone because anything could happen in this strange and hot world. However, why was the mummy also gone?
Did he have to bring the mummy with him to leave this place? Thinking about this, the scholar looked at the surrounding ground and soon found a clue. There were footprints on the ground.
Because the ground was made of soft dust, it was easy to leave footprints. The scholar saw that there were many footprints of the mechanical dust crocodile around the truck, but he also saw some other footprints.
No, these were not footprints. They looked like holes left by a sharp spear in the ground. These holes were more than ten centimeters in diameter. There were many holes around the mechanical dust crocodile's footprints.
However, the problem was that neither the footprints nor the holes extended far away. They were all gathered around the truck.
Moreover, he did not know how the mummy disappeared.
Beep, beep, beep. Unable to contact. The scholar tried to contact the mechanical dust crocodile. He had the communication device given to him by the mechanical dust crocodile in his hand. In fact, it was a porous ball.
However, there seemed to be no response. Whether it was contacting the mechanical dust crocodile or tracking its location.
It seemed that there were quite a lot of strange things in this world.
In that case, he could only take one step at a time.
The scholar, who had this thought, began to move. However, he only took one step before he turned his head again.
He looked at the truck lying on the ground and ran to the front of the truck. He pulled the door of the driver's seat.
It was closed tightly.
It seemed that the mechanical dust crocodile had opened the bottom of the truck to repair it. However, it did not try to enter the driver's seat. This was a little strange. What was even stranger was that the mummy had disappeared in the driver's seat, which was a secret room.
Moreover, there were no footprints around. This made the scholar think that they had all been eaten clean by a large number of small creatures.
If the small creatures had burrowed into the truck to eat the mummy, there was no need to open the door. However, the scholar did not find any holes in the truck.
Moreover, the scholar believed that the creatures living in this place should eat special substances. They would not like to eat cellular creatures.
Boom!
Just as the scholar was thinking, he heard a sound.
When the scholar turned his head to look, he saw that something seemed to have exploded in the distance. A huge amount of smoke rose from the ground.
The scholar decided to go over and take a look.
He quickened his pace and ran forward. The scholar was getting closer and closer to the site of the explosion. However, just before he reached the site of the explosion, he heard a familiar voice.
"Why is it so tragic? No, we need you. You can't explode like this! Yes, it really needs you. Why did you end up like this? Do you remember? There are countless creatures in the world waiting for you to eat and kill! "
When he got closer, the scholar saw two gray figures.
Brain-Created Monsters. Two Brain-Created Monsters covered in a thick layer of dust were standing beside the explosion point, and as usual, they were discussing some strange topics.
"I can sense a scent. The smell of burning. No, it's another smell. Other than the smell of burning, what else is there? "
"What are you doing here?" The scholar walked forward and asked the brain-created monsters directly.
"No! It's not real! " The two brain-created monsters turned around and looked at him. As if they were scared to death, they screamed and ran away.
"Hey! Wait! "
The scholar's voice did not make them stop. The scholar thought that these two things were crazy. However, they seemed to be crazy in the first place.
Now, the smoke and dust at the site of the explosion were slowly dissipating. The scholar could see clearly what was at the site of the explosion.
It was a large amount of metal fragments. Although most of them were broken, they could still be distinguished.
The scholar thought that these fragments came from the dust crocodile.
