"We are here to welcome your arrival, outsider! Outsider, I initially thought that our misunderstanding was caused by the mines deployed outside. I believe that we can easily eliminate this small misunderstanding. Now, we will welcome you with all our might! "
"… … …"
The situation here had changed quite a bit.
Lin's Volcanic Rock was slowly making its way toward the giant plant in the middle of the meteorite field. On both sides of the Volcanic Rock were … … a group of flying machines arranged neatly.
They were arranged on both sides of the Volcanic Rock, flashing with light in a regular pattern. The flashes were meant to welcome her. Thus, Lin responded by flashing back a few insulting flashes.
Lin found that … … they did not seem to mind Lin's insults. They continued to flash with welcoming lights as they awaited Lin's arrival.
Earlier, they had surrounded the Volcanic Rock with full vigilance and had even fought against each other. So, why would they suddenly become so … … enthusiastic?
Lin was not too sure. She felt that they might have suddenly received some information. For example, they might have found out about Lin's … … identity.
After all, they were related to Ershi. Although Lin had yet to find Ershi, the giant plant with the name 'Zanke' should be related to Ershi.
"Please approach our spaceport! Please approach slowly! "
These machines were not just using flashes to welcome her. Lin's Volcanic Rock was also continuously receiving signals from them. Within the signals, one of the machines, which appeared to be the commander-in-chief, was speaking non-stop.
It was using a new language to communicate with Lin. However, Lin was already familiar with this language. In the beginning, she had learned about it from the … … dragonflies. Now, however, she knew most of the vocabulary of this language.
Truth be told, Lin had learned a lot when she used the miniaturized soldiers to wander around their buildings and flying machines.
In some … … 'private' situations, most of the machines would use one of the Ershi languages that Lin had heard of before. In formal situations, they would use this new language.
This new language was known as the 'Allied Language'. It appeared to be a mixture of the various Ershi languages from before … … to create a new language.
Lin felt that it was quite remarkable that they were able to create this new language. That was because … … the original Ershi languages were quite different. And yet, they were able to do it.
Under the guidance of these flying machines, the volcanic rock slowly flew into the place they called the 'dock'.
The dock was actually a relatively large structure on top of a huge plant. The diameter of the structure was about three kilometers, and it looked like it was made of metal, completely different from the other fruit-like structures.
The dock was shaped like a metal disc. There were many large and small aircrafts parked inside, but that was the original appearance.
When the volcanic rock approached, these aircraft had all dispersed. However, the volcanic rock itself was bigger than the dock. They couldn't park in the dock, but could only park next to the dock.
"Very good. Next, please let … erm … representatives log on here. Let's communicate directly!"
The volcanic rock slowly leaned against the side of the pier, and a few tunnels extended from the edge of the pier towards the volcanic rock.
These tunnels did not touch the volcanic rock. Instead, they opened when they were about ten meters away from the volcanic rock.
"Because we don't know … how you did it, so please do it yourself."
The commander-in-chief seemed to be a little troubled by the strange shape of Lin's volcanic rock, but Lin didn't need to do it. Instead, she let a few pompoms fly into the opened tunnel.
When the pompoms went in, the entrance of the tunnel closed. Then, Lin felt that the tunnel was filled with … … air.
Next, a few machines came out from the inside of the tunnel. They made a welcoming gesture and said, "Please come with us."
They didn't seem to be completely convinced that Lin could understand them, because Lin saw two machines next to them waving a light stick a few times when the first machine spoke.
But Lin felt that there was no need to hide anything, so she said a few words to them, indicating that she could understand their language.
"You understand our language? That's … … convenient. "
The machine seemed surprised, but it quickly calmed down and continued, "Then our communication will be … … easy."
After that, Lin's pompoms and the machines continued to move inside. While moving inside, Lin also asked … … some things about this place.
The machine also told Lin about the situation here. It said that this place was … … a military branch.
It could also be called a military fortress. The reason it was called a military branch was because everything here was … …
"All the buildings here are built on 'Zank'," the machine said. "I believe you've noticed it a long time ago. Zank is the … … huge, plant-like thing that stretches out in this place."
It seemed that Lin wasn't the only one who thought it looked like a plant. The machines also thought it looked like a plant.
However, these machines usually didn't call it a plant. Instead, they called it Zank.
"Zank is a rather huge … … organism. It stretches out in this area. We built the main residence on its trunk, and we built fortresses on its branches," the machine said.
"This is just one of the fortresses. There are more … … We use these fortresses to protect the trunk of Zank, which is also our home."
"You must want to know why we built so many fortresses. It's because we're in the middle of a war," the machine said.
"That's why you were attacked when you came in … … Please don't take offense."
"We soon found that you were different from our main opponent, so we stopped attacking. I think … … we can reach a friendly exchange," the machine said. "But you must also want to know … … who are the things we're fighting against?"
"They're usually called … … Transpirators."
"… …"
Lin didn't ask too much, but the machine said a lot of things on its own … …
Moreover, they seemed to be fighting against … … something that Lin was very familiar with?
"Do you know about Transpirators? They're a group of very special creatures. They like to decompose everything they come into contact with, "the machine said. "We've been attacked by them one after another, so we're trying our best to fight back … …"
