Chapter 27 Rift Valley
"This world will see many changes... Do you want to know about these changes? If you want to know, take ten Medusa fruits in exchange. Just ten fruits, and you can get everything in exchange! That's right, just a piece of Dome-headed Dragon meat will be enough. Bring the meat here, and I'll give you the information! Whoever dares to take the fruit, I'll bite it to death!"
This is... the edge of a huge rift valley.
A brain-making monster with a ball of fluff on its head was strolling on the edge of the rift, selling its information.
Lin had also seen its source of information, that pile of brains, before.
Although it said that it was a very important treasure and could not be shown to Lin, it still showed it to Lin in the end.
Lin discovered that this thing was somewhat similar to "full-area monitoring". It could sense various situations in a large range, including the environment, and could also "hear" various creatures speak.
However, it cannot perceive the thoughts of living creatures, it can only feel some of their emotions.
However, there are some creatures that cannot "hear" it speak or feel its emotions at all.
This creature is regarded as a target to be eliminated by the Brain Monster and must be killed... It is said that it was originally a creature that could feel, but later became unable to feel.
This creature is... a dwarf.
"There's one there!" The Brain-Making Monster discovered a short figure on the cliff in front of it, and it immediately rushed over.
When the dwarf saw the Brain-Maker rushing towards him, he jumped into the rift next to him without any hesitation.
"How dare you escape! Didn't I tell you that you can't survive if you escape?" The Brain-Maker shouted angrily to the falling dwarf, but it was meaningless.
In fact, Lin and the Brain Monster had captured some dwarfs before, so Lin knew about the war between the dwarfs and the savages.
The dwarves have caused the wastelanders to reincarnate many times by throwing waste, but in the wastelanders' last reincarnation, the dwarves did not appear in their memory.
So the barbarians came here to explore as if they knew nothing.
As for the dwarfs, they were originally a group of normal dwarfs living in Tucker Space, but at some point they all suddenly disappeared.
It's not that they completely disappeared, because there was news about dwarves appearing in the Rift Valley, so Lin and the Brain Maker came here.
Then some dwarfs were captured here for testing, and Lin found that they themselves didn't know how they disappeared.
They were living normally in the jungle, and then suddenly they were at the bottom of the rift.
This doesn't mean that they were teleported here, because when Lin examined them, she found that they had gaps in their memory.
It's as if part of the memory has been erased.
"It seems to be at this location." Lin's ball of fluff floated up from the head of the brain-making monster and flew over the rift valley.
When the dwarves regained their memories, they found themselves at the bottom of the rift in this location.
"What's in this place? Is there terror and death?" the Brain-Making Monster asked, looking down.
Ever since Lin had come into contact with it before, it was no longer afraid of the ball of fluff, but Lin did not intend to take it down... so it just flew down directly.
Because the space of the wild people has collapsed, there is no way to explore there, and they need to continue exploring the unknown here in Tucker to find a new exit.
This rift is similar to the one in Dinosaur Continent, but it is narrower. After flying for hundreds of meters, Lin saw the bottom of the rift.
The bottom was very dark, the ground was full of potholes and the potholes were filled with water.
You can see the skeletons of many dwarves in the water.
If a creature in this world dies...it is truly dead.
The world will only restart when the main consciousness of the space dies.
As for other creatures that are still alive when the main consciousness dies, their identities will be reassigned.
But if you die before that, you are completely dead.
However, the creatures here can also increase their numbers through the same reproduction methods as in the normal void.
Lin feels that the current dwarf population is almost... on the verge of extinction.
A few of the remaining dwarves climbed up to the rift, but most of them seemed to have turned into corpses here.
After wandering around here for a while, Lin had already found hundreds of dwarf corpses in these puddles.
They all seemed to have been beaten to death.
Because Lin also saw some bullets scattered on the ground.
However, these bullets are not the kind used by the wastelanders... There are many different types of firearms used by the wastelanders, but they are all pistols, and the bullets found inside do not belong to any pistol used by the wastelanders.
There seems to be something here.
Lin's ball of fluff now floated to the edge of the rock wall, and Lin found a semicircular stone on the rock wall in front.
The stone was very smooth and looked abnormal, so Lin poked it with the fluff.
'boom--!'
The moment she was touched by the fluff, Lin found that part of the rock wall in front of her slowly lowered, revealing a three-meter-high semicircular entrance.
The floor and walls of this entrance are made of metal structures. What concerns Lin most is the densely packed corpses piled up here.
All of them are dwarfs.
After looking for a while, Lin let the ball of fluff float directly in.
While floating, Lin observed the surrounding metal structures and felt that this place... might have been built by the Ershi people.
Previously, Lin learned from the Doomsday Tunnel that, generally speaking, when alien creatures enter the Space of Hope, they will easily encounter those... spaces formed by familiar biological memory data.
This is also the reason why Lin met Tucker.
But... I just don't know why these spaces are connected together.
After floating past a pile of dwarf corpses, Lin turned a corner.
At the moment of turning the corner, a series of "beep beep beep" sounds suddenly rang out, and at the same time, countless barrages flew towards Lin.
Lin immediately retreated to the place where the corpses were piled up before. The bullets hit the wall and bounced back and forth wildly, and it lasted for a long time before stopping.
So...Lin asked the ball to transform into an Ershimin spy, that is, Veronica, and walked over.
This time when we entered the passage again, the weapons did not fire.
Lin could see that in this passage, whether on the walls or on the ground, there were all kinds of guns and other things sticking out everywhere.
There are a lot of them, but it's a bit strange why there is a corner here.
Also, why are all the corpses piled up at the beginning of the passage? They might have been moved out on purpose.
However, these weapons were indeed made by the Ershi people as Lin thought, and they seemed to be set up to have no reaction to their own kind.
What Ershimin said should have nothing to do with Tucker. They are most likely invading from another space.
Thinking of this, Lin also let Veronica walk through the guns and come to the...room inside.
