The ground here … seemed to be made out of metal.
Lin's troop landed on the surface of the object known as the Rectangular Castle.
This place … appeared to be a complicated place. Countless square shaped objects made out of metal were erected on the ground.
They appeared to be buildings, but there were no windows. They were simply pieces of … metal that were tens of meters tall.
There were also many bridge-like structures between these square shaped pieces of metal. They connected the huge pieces of metal together.
This … was the general appearance of the Rectangular Castle. Lin had yet to see any living creatures.
Lin's troop slowly landed on top of a tall metal building.
Looking up at the sky from here, one could see … the huge satellite in the sky.
It was over 10,000 kilometers away from here. Combined with the high-temperature liquid flowing on its surface, it looked a bit like a star.
But no matter what it was … it would soon approach here. If it collided with the Rectangular Castle, it would definitely be unable to resist.
However … the satellite did not arrive so quickly. When it was close, its speed suddenly became very slow.
Was this done by Midgard? Why did it deliberately slow down the satellite? Was it to make the residents of the Rectangular Castle even more fearful? Or …
In any case, because of this, Lin was able to reach the surface of the Rectangular Castle before the satellite.
However, because she did not know how much time she would have to explore, she had to act quickly … the Rectangular Castle was a bit strange.
Before coming here, she had seen many … flying objects flying out to intercept and attack.
But after coming to the surface, she did not see any flying objects flying out.
There were no active creatures here, nor were there any silos or anything of the sort. Everything seemed to be peaceful.
It was as though nothing had happened here … this was obviously very strange. So, Lin decided to enter one of the buildings to check it out.
Lin's troop was the rock troop that she saw on the satellite earlier. It was flying between the buildings made out of metal, observing the buildings here.
The buildings here … all looked the same. Although there were differences in height, their style was very similar.
There were many complicated fine marks on their surface. They looked a bit like carvings.
Lin's rock troop inspected these buildings while flying towards a target … that was the area that had been bombed.
This area was hit by a mountain earlier, resulting in a violent explosion. As a result, there was a huge crater here.
The crater was filled with debris … as well as some larger pieces.
After approaching the nearest fragment, Lin's Rock Troop carefully examined it.
Lin discovered that there were many … small holes and complicated structures inside the fragment. It felt like a residential building.
However, the inhabitants were very small, and these inhabitants were creatures that Lin recognized.
It was the creature that Lin called the 'Aggregator' that was found at the end of the pipe.
Could it be that … this' rectangular castle 'was built by these creatures?
In fact, Lin had thought of this possibility before, but now that she had confirmed it, she believed it completely … Of course, they might not be the main species here.
But no matter what, this place was inhabited by these millimeter-sized creatures called aggregates. Many of their corpses could be seen in these fragments.
However, in the memories of the aggregates at the tail of Midgard, they did not know of such a rectangular castle.
They seemed to have lived in the pipe for generations and had never come out. But … this did not prove anything.
In that case, the next step would be to inspect other buildings that were still in good condition.
Lin's rock flew to a building at the edge of the crater, and then a small … drill bit drilled into the surface of the building.
At this moment, Lin found that the building had a … violent reaction.
Lin found that it rose to a very high temperature in a short period of time, as if it wanted to stop Lin from drilling into it.
Lin also immediately reacted. Lin had the Rock Troop send out a … signal.
After this signal, the temperature on the surface of the building stopped, and some signals … came back.
It seemed that there were living aggregates in this building.
Just now, Lin sent out a signal of aggregates. They were a division of labor … They could transmit various complex signals to each other to form thoughts, but they also had some external communication signals.
Lin had studied these creatures before, so she knew their signal language.
Lin expressed that she had no hostility, and was just here to … communicate with them.
And the message they replied was a … request for help. They wanted Lin to help them, and they did not care about Lin's identity.
Obviously, they had fallen into a very dangerous situation to have such a reaction.
So, Lin continued to send more messages to them and communicated with them further.
In the communication, Lin found that these aggregates … did not know anything about Midgard.
They did not know the name or anything else, and they did not know what to do when they were suddenly attacked.
They could only fight back with all their might.
But the current situation was like this, this place could not resist at all … But, for some reason, the satellite that was getting closer and closer suddenly stopped attacking.
So, the Cuboid Castle stopped attacking and continued to send out signals of peace in an attempt to communicate.
But the other party did not respond.
These aggregates could not provide Lin with any information about Midgard. Instead, they felt that Lin knew something, so … they wanted to know from Lin why they were attacked.
After Lin told them that their kind was at the tail of Midgard, they were very shocked. These aggregates did not know about this kind of thing.
It seemed that their attack was an unsolved mystery, although Lin could guess many reasons.
Then, Lin discussed with them about escaping. These aggregates said that they did not want to give up the Cuboid Castle.
Of course, they did not call it the Cuboid Castle. Their name for the Cuboid Castle … could be translated as' home. '
However, the flying ability here was malfunctioning, so the entire Cuboid Castle could not move.
So now, they had to think of a way … to make the Cuboid Castle fly.
Otherwise, they could only watch as this place was destroyed.
They did not plan to leave this place … although Lin suggested that they should.
