Chapter 3213 Sudden Destruction

"We must... leave here!"

In order to escape into the void, the rats living in this dusty world...went deep underground.

This seems to be the opposite of their escape route.

However, the purpose of their trip is to find the "consciousness communication point" of leaf-cutter ants.

The rodents couldn't build anything that would fly, but they discovered a possibility: to communicate directly with the consciousness of the leaf-cutter ants that controlled the metal microorganisms.

They might let the leafcutter ants...let them out.

So the rats came deep underground, a place where they could communicate directly with consciousness.

And they did find this communication point.

These mice actually don't have much confidence in their ability to communicate well with the leaf-cutter ants' consciousness. They don't quite know what these leaf-cutter ants want or are thinking about.

However, they still hold on to a little hope, that is, the leaf-cutter ants deliberately let go of a large number of intelligent creatures in the past.

The rodents thought they, too, might be let go.

The rats came to the underground consciousness contact point and began to try to communicate with the consciousness of the leaf-cutter ants. They told the leaf-cutter ants that this place trapped them and they wanted the leaf-cutter ants to control the metal microorganisms to make them leave.

And then...the leaf-cutter ants killed them all.

Because after these rodents came here, the leaf-cutter ants thought they were a 'loophole'.

Metallic microorganisms are set to decompose almost everything, and leaf-cutter ants know all the things that they cannot decompose.

However, after the arrival of the rodents, the leaf-cutter ants' consciousness noticed that... these creatures were not on the 'not decomposable' list, but they survived.

So, the leaf-cutter ants thought that this group of rodents was a loophole and quickly decomposed them.

It’s not that the leafcutter ants want them to become extinct, it’s just that... they really don’t like this kind of loophole.

However, these rodent creations did not completely perish.

Things like buildings they built using the knowledge they acquired from various intelligent creatures were preserved.

The leafcutter ants did not dismantle these structures or pay any attention to them.

These buildings just grew up on their own in this dust-covered world.

To be precise, it is the metal microorganisms that make them grow.

Originally, these buildings were built to the size of rats. After rats became extinct, they were gradually enlarged in size and finally became what Lin saw.

At the same time...the functions of these buildings have become more special, and they have become hybrid buildings.

Under normal circumstances, buildings would definitely separate various facilities such as residences, factories, entertainment, restaurants, etc., but metal microorganisms mixed all these buildings with different functions together to form an integrated building.

That is what the hemispherical buildings Lin is seeing now look like.

They all look like factories, but they actually have a lot of functions mixed together.

Of course, no one uses these functions.

At the same time, a lot of data and information are stored in the various control systems inside...such as what Lin is seeing now.

This information contains the entire history of rat civilization.

That's why Lin can see everything happening here now.

...Well, now Lin has almost understood the situation here.

It is just not clear how leaf-cutter ants merge with 'metallic microorganisms'.

And the plans of these three worlds...what exactly is going on.

Lin felt that these three worlds might be somewhat related to the bus synchronization.

However, in order to find out the truth completely, Lin felt that she still had to investigate these ancient spaces, or wait for Ersh to find all the memory fragments.

The memories found so far are not very complete, so Lin decided to investigate the...data in these ancient spaces.

Lin had previously discovered from the records of rats that these metal microorganisms themselves were also generated in ancient space.

Rats mainly perceive this information by allowing metal microorganisms to come into contact with their brains, and they themselves have no idea what the ancient space is.

However, Lin can find out the birthplace of the metal microorganisms through the information they left behind.

They originally appeared in that mixed ancient space, and their true origin was actually one of the space channels where the three worlds were located.

To be precise, it is the location of the 'Ash World'.

Lin let the fluff ball exploring there go to the birthplace of metal microorganisms.

This location is actually also the 'wall' of this ancient space.

The wall is only more than 100,000 kilometers away from the volcanic ash world. On the wall of this space, Lin can find... some "data" printed on it.

These data... should be the data used to construct metal microorganisms.

Obviously, this ancient space is also the kind of space that can collect data and pass this data on to living organisms.

Lin decided to analyze these data, perhaps it contained more than just data on metal microorganisms.

At the same time, Lin was also analyzing it using another method.

That's the same method used with rats.

In a dusty world filled with metallic microorganisms, Lin allowed the microscopic soldiers exploring there to combine into some rat-like...brains.

Moreover, these brains are directly exposed to the air without any protection and can come into direct contact with metal microorganisms in the air.

Through this method, Lin can also sense the information of metal microorganisms like those rats.

These metal microorganisms do not seem to decompose the rodents as long as the leafcutter ants' consciousness is not directly controlling them.

Of course, it will not decompose the brains that Lin created to imitate rats.

And when these brains came into contact with metal microorganisms, Lin also learned a lot of things.

In fact, Lin already knew most of them.

Lin discovered that as long as they come into contact with brain structures, they may be able to transmit some information to the brain structures.

The information is very...ephemeral and few in number.

But with the contact of a large number of microorganisms, this information will be complete.

It includes various things about the intelligent creatures in the void, some things about these metal microorganisms and leaf-cutter ants, and the history of this world.

This is pretty much what Lin knew before.

Lin noticed that the part about themselves...that is, how these metal microorganisms themselves were born was very vague.

But Lin still found out roughly...

These metal microorganisms were most likely something that Ersh himself had 'designed' in the past.

In other words, it is a group of creatures created by Ersh by influencing the data of ancient space, mainly used to plan...these things in the future.
