"Six hundred and seventy-eight million, eight hundred and ninety thousand styles of Double Cut!"
"Ah!"
Accompanied by a scream, the last poacher's head spun and fell on the sand.
"Hmph, this is the consequence of killing me!" Beiru turned the blade back into the scabbard hanging on her waist and said: "I wonder if the boss is among them …"
Ten poachers were lying around Beiru. The reason they fell was very simple. Earlier, Lin secretly rescued Beiru, and then Beiru killed them all.
Because the distance was very close, these poachers didn't have a chance to fight back and were easily dealt with by Beiru.
Lin was more concerned about the reason these poachers were here. According to their memories, they ran out of the base and wanted to go back by playing games, but for some reason … they lost their way.
Finally, they came to the vicinity of this' fog lake '. After seeing the spy and Beiru driving the RV here, they wanted to rob the RV.
It's quite strange that they could get lost and walk so far away, because the base is hundreds of kilometers away from here.
In the middle is a large desert, so it's very difficult to get lost from there to here. These poachers came here in a confused state.
"Help!" Suddenly, Lin heard a voice.
"What? Who's calling! "Because of the sudden sound, Beiru immediately pulled out her blade and ran in that direction.
"Veronica, there's an idiot here who looks like that native just now!" Beiru shouted from behind a tree. After the spy walked over, Lin also saw an Ershi Min wearing white clothes and a headscarf under the tree.
It was tied to the trunk of the tree. Beiru pointed her blade at it and said: "Are you with the poachers just now?"
This Ershi Min didn't seem to understand Beiru's language. It just looked at Beiru's blade in horror.
"Speak, you idiot. I'm very hot right now, so I'm very impatient. When I'm impatient, I want to find something to cut …"
"Wait a minute." The spy stopped the knife wielding Bilu and said to the Ershi Min in the language of a country: "Origin."
"Huh?" The Er Shi Min obviously understood, so it asked, "Where did you come from?"
"Your background."
"I'm here …" It was stunned for a while before it reacted. Then, it said some things about itself. It was indeed a native living here.
It couldn't speak Ershi's official language. It could only speak the language of the country. It also meant that the other residents here could only speak this language.
Previously, it came here to get some wood, but it was caught by the poachers. The poachers tied it up under the tree.
Then, the spy continued to ask it more questions, such as the history of the aborigines.
"History? We've always lived in this place … "The natives told the spy about them, which was quite interesting.
It said that according to its ancestors, they used to live in a bustling city. The spy asked it to describe the city in detail. Lin realized that this city should be the buildings that were half buried in the desert.
They used all kinds of electrical appliances that were now obsolete. Of course, they weren't obsolete at that time …
At some point in the past, there was a severe worldwide drought. All kinds of water sources dried up one after another. There was no rain falling from the sky, and the sun was always high up in the sky.
In the end, the original land began to rapidly become desertified. Everything dried up, and the whole city became a city buried in the desert. They thought that the whole world was in the end of the drought.
Only a small group of residents survived because the city originally had underground water reserves. These water sources could last for a long time.
They used these water sources to live for a few generations, but when they saw the water sources dwindling, they realized that this was a problem. So, they made a decision to leave the city and look for water sources.
So, this Ershi Min's ancestors left the city and traveled in the vast desert. In the end, they found water.
It was this … a place called 'Fog Lake.'
It was said that Fog Lake was originally a rather large lake, possibly a few kilometers in diameter. Originally, this lake didn't exist in the city or near it. It seemed that the lake suddenly appeared after the drought.
Dense forests grew around Fog Lake. When the Ershi Min's ancestors came here, they were quite excited. They thought that they could live here forever and revive … their civilization.
But after a sandstorm, they gave up on this idea because the foggy lake turned into a sand lake.
The surrounding plants also quickly dried up. In the end, they had to leave here and look for other places to live …
In the end, they didn't find any large water sources, but they survived because when they lived near Fog Lake, they obtained a plant.
This plant was called 'dew vine.' It could collect water from the air and store it in a sac-like organ.
Relying on this plant, they struggled to survive. Although they could survive, it was difficult to increase their population.
However, recently, they planned to create a machine that could collect more water …
"That's fun!" As the spy listened, he translated the information to Beeru. Beeru excitedly said: "It … it means that its ancestors encountered a world-wide drought? This place really is the legendary Doomsday World! A parallel Doomsday World! "
"…?" The native looked at Beeru in confusion.
This matter … was indeed quite strange. After Lin asked for more details, she discovered that the ancestors of these natives … were the ones who lived on Ershen.
Their history in the past could be said to be the same as the current Ershi's history, whether it was historical events or something else.
The difference started from the drought. There was a world-wide drought in this place. Since then, the sun had never set, and the civilization of the entire world was destroyed.
But the civilization of Ershi outside continued to develop, leaving only a small number of inhabitants to survive in the drought.
It was as if two paths that were originally connected had been diverged due to the drought. Coupled with Shirahoshi's memories …
Lin felt that this might be Ershi's doing … a kind of experiment?
"You're saying that there's still … a prosperous Ershi?" The native also had a look of disbelief after hearing the spy's words.
