"It's raining again …"
There were no dark clouds in the sky of this world, but because of the numerous bridges, the surface of this world was always covered in darkness.
"I have to open the umbrella quickly."
On the surface that was shrouded by the shadow of the bridge, an Ershi citizen slowly opened the umbrella in his hand, blocking the countless' raindrops' that fell from the sky from directly touching his body.
This shower was called 'Solidified Rain.' Recently, this phenomenon had been happening frequently. A liquid-like solidified substance would fall from the sky and cover the entire surface of the earth.
This kind of solidified raindrops would disappear the moment they touched the ground, leaving no residue, so no matter how heavy the rain was, it would not accumulate.
But this kind of rain had other special effects.
If you were hit by it, you might enter a temporary … state of stillness.
The probability of stillness was not very high, but if you were directly exposed to the downpour, your whole body would become difficult to move.
From the outside, it would look like … petrification, and your movements would be sluggish.
So Ershi Min created an umbrella specifically to resist this kind of solidified rain. It was made of pure solidified substance, and could move freely in the heavy rain.
The solidified rain had fallen many times in this world. The first few times, there was no solidification effect, but gradually, this effect began to appear. Ershi Min, who lived here, was used to it.
After opening the umbrella, Ershi Min took out a cylindrical telescope from his waist and looked at the city ruins in the distance.
The buildings of the city of the past appeared one by one in the telescope, and what this citizen was paying attention to was not the buildings, but the lights between the buildings.
Whenever the solidified rain fell, these strange lights would always appear in the city ruins.
They were like candlelight, swaying in the solidified rain, sometimes appearing and sometimes disappearing … If one looked carefully, most of these lights were floating in the air, and had nothing to do with the surrounding buildings.
The people of Ershi had always thought that this phenomenon was caused by the machines. Although the machines had to take shelter from the rain due to the solidification of the rain, perhaps they had also made something similar to the umbrellas … But they did not know why they would create so many lights in the city during the heavy rain.
Although these lights did not show any signs of danger, Ershi Min was more and more concerned.
So now it decided … to investigate directly.
"Alright, let's go! When the rain stops, the light will be extinguished. Hurry up! "
Hearing a voice calling out to him, Ershi Min put the binoculars back to his waist and walked to the …
Five teammates.
Including the Ershi Min who was looking into the distance, there were a total of six of them. They formed a 'Will-O-Wisp Investigation Team' and prepared to step into the eerie … ruins of civilization.
Generally speaking, Ershi Min had a fear of such places recorded in their nuclei, so they had always wanted to use methods like remote control or telescopes to investigate.
However, using binoculars or something like that wouldn't be able to see anything clearly, and using a remote control …
They didn't know why the flames didn't appear on the remote control camera.
The only way to confirm this was to observe directly.
In the end, their strong curiosity overcame their fear, and they finally decided to act on their own.
"Let's go!"
At the captain's command, the team of six Ershi Min headed towards the ruins.
Before arriving, they first had to pass through a relatively flat area. The ground here was made of metal, and there were scratches and holes caused by explosions everywhere.
In addition, there were various large and small metal structures lying on the ground. These were the transportation or war tools of the past civilization.
Every time they passed through this place, the Ershi Min would be very vigilant because those hateful little machines would appear out of nowhere and shout some strange words to attack them.
Because these machines were … not very strong, the team of six Ershi Min was enough to deal with them. However, if they were not careful and were ambushed, it would still be very dangerous.
However, this time they did not find any small machines.
Instead, they saw a different scenery.
"This is …" The captain of the team focused his attention on something not far away that looked like … a tank.
Around this tank, there were many small flashing lights.
The color of these lights was the same as the flames in the distant ruins, they were all … orange.
Several team members immediately gathered around, and one of them picked up the weapon in his hand.
After discovering that there was no threat, they slowly approached … and after getting close, they revealed a surprised expression.
These small lights were about 10 centimeters in size, and they had the shape of four limbs, the same as the Ershi Min's … structure.
At the same time, there was a pair of insect-like wings on their back that were rapidly flapping.
The few Ershi Min were very surprised. When one of them tried to reach out with his hand to touch one of the lights … suddenly, all the lights flew away.
"… chase!" After being stunned for a moment, the captain gave the order.
In fact, he himself did not know why he wanted to chase after them. Perhaps it was purely out of curiosity … in short, he did not think that there would be any danger.
Thus, they ran through the heavy rain until they reached the ruins of the city.
By the time they reached this position, the light spots had completely disappeared. However, they were close to their original … target.
"Look! That! "
One of the Ershi Min pointed at the street in front of them and shouted. Because there appeared … a large mass of light.
Like a ball of jelly, this mass of light was still constantly shaking. It looked very soft.
"What the hell is this … you, go and see!" As the captain, he decisively shrank behind all the team members, and the team member who was ordered by him could only reluctantly approach the mass of light.
'Pa —!'
When it was about to touch the light, the light suddenly … exploded.
And the fragments of the explosion quickly merged together and formed … a picture.
"Oh —!!! Defeat it! You can do it! "
Before the Ershi Min could react, there was a loud cheer in the picture.
"…"
The Ershi Min looked at the scene in the picture with surprise.
It looked like a very large … football field.
The whole field was filled with densely packed creatures, they were all looking at the center of the field …
