"Rumble!"
Countless bullet screens were flying towards Lin's pompous ball.
When the pompom was ten thousand kilometers away from the Third Realm, it encountered such an attack.
These bullets were objects that looked like small missiles. Thousands of them flew out from the surface of the Third Realm and headed towards Lin's direction.
Lin's pompom dodged them while flying towards the surface. Soon... the scenery in front of the pompom became clear.
Lin was approaching the center of the Third Realm.
When she flew close to the surface, Lin could see that the ground was... a rocky wasteland.
There were square rocks and bricks of different sizes everywhere. They covered the entire surface of the ground and looked like the remains of some kind of species.
The ones attacking Lin's pompom were large stone bricks that were more than thirty meters tall. There was a hole at the top of them, and flying objects were constantly flying out.
But when Lin was one kilometer away from the surface, these stone bricks stopped shooting and closed the hole at the top.
The pom-poms also slowly landed on the ground. Then, the pom-poms on the pom-poms stood up. With a bang, the pom-poms all shot out and exploded in the air, scattering into a large number of miniature soldiers.
Lin began to quickly investigate this place. Lin first checked the surrounding... brick like missile towers.
They seemed to be controlled by no creature. They were purely automatic systems. As long as they detected something approaching from the void, they would quickly launch an attack.
Lin believed that the creature that created these... missile towers was hiding underground. Therefore, a large number of microorganisms drilled into the ground to investigate the situation.
Lin felt that this place was not the real Third Realm because its size... and many other aspects were different from what Lin knew before. This place might have been created for some reason.
Lin's soldiers soon found a large underground tunnel under the bricks on the surface. A small number of creatures could be found here.
These were cellular microorganisms... They had adapted to this place where there was no air. At the same time, they were all attached to... the model.
Lin noticed that this place was similar to the desert model. Whether it was on the surface or in the underground tunnel, there was a lot of sand.
They were all model sand.
But obviously, there was not as much sand as the desert model. The sand here was very sparsely scattered on the ground.
Some model sand had a complex shape or a porous structure, and a considerable number of... microorganisms gathered in their gaps and pores.
Obviously, the missile tower was not made by these microbes, so they continued to examine the situation here.
Lin had already discovered the traces of many large creatures, following these traces, some of the smaller creatures had reached a deeper area.
Here, Lin saw a bigger target.
This thing was also square in shape. It was about three meters in length, width, and height, and looked like a stone brick.
However, there were eleven limbs around its body. These limbs were of different sizes and grew irregularly around its body.
It was using these limbs to slowly … crawl.
This thing was actually one of the three devices — the collection device.
Lin hadn't seen the collection devices yet, but she had learned about them from the sandball guards.
The detection device had not changed, but the manufacturing device had become something similar to a bus. The material collection device had also been changing, but not much.
According to the Sand Guardian, they had been using similar body structures to collect materials almost all the time. Although there were times in history when they used other methods to collect materials, they changed back later.
Moreover, it was said that the collection device was the only one of the three devices that displayed 'diversity'.
In other words, each collection device was somewhat different, but it was said that they should all be active in the tunnel.
As for why this one was in this location … Lin would soon be able to let the smaller creatures examine it to find out.
It seemed … very old. It wasn't that it was old, but the model.
The collection devices in the tunnel had very powerful systems, such as the ability of 'spatial invisibility' and some systems to open spatial tunnels.
This one was just a simple... machine.
It didn't have any spatial abilities, and its body mainly used some simple fuel as a power source.
Its core was similar to the Ershi Min's... computer. There was a program that allowed it to collect things here and send them to a certain place.
The moment Lin saw it, she told the Sand Guardian where it was and what it looked like. The Sand Guardian said that it was a collection device.
Otherwise … it wouldn't feel like a collection device, but a machine made by the local residents here.
Speaking of which, there should be other local residents here …
"Boom!"
Suddenly, an explosion sent the collection device flying. The explosion blew off a few of its legs and sent it crashing into the wall.
At the same time, Lin also saw a group of creatures appear in a nearby tunnel.
These creatures were more than one meter tall, and they were also brick-shaped creatures.
However, they didn't have limbs, but a pair of bat-like wings, but they didn't flap. Instead, they used some method to blow air at the tip of the wings to fly quickly.
So … Lin decided to call them 'flying bricks'.
These flying bricks quickly flew to the exploded collection device and landed on the ground.
Lin noticed that they didn't flap their wings when flying, but this time, they moved. They used their wings to crawl on the ground and gathered around the device.
…
"Success, we destroyed another one … if only this was the last one."
"There is no last one, we never found the last one."
"But we have to work hard to find the last one and destroy it!"
After a short period of time, Lin understood the thoughts in the flying bricks' minds.
They … were actually cellular creatures. These cellular creatures wrapped their internal structure in a brick-like shell, and here … lived a difficult life.
It could also be said that they were experiencing a situation similar to the end of the world.
They had always been working hard to fight against the creator of the apocalypse.
The creator of the apocalypse was, of course, this collection device.
In fact, it wasn't the only one … there were other devices in this place, like manufacturing devices.
It seemed that these devices hadn't been without accidents for a long time … some of them ran outside.
