In the cold void, the Battleship slowly moved forward …
Following that trace of warmth, Lin had already flown a long distance.
The investigation on the Voidman Origin Sphere continued, but Lin also found something here. Because this wasn't the endless void, there were always some … interesting things around.
In front of Lin, another piece appeared.
The Battleship slowly stopped, tentacles reached out from both sides and grabbed the object in front of it.
This thing could be called … scrap metal.
It was a few dozen meters in diameter, shaped like a square, but it was purely made of metal … or rather, it was piled up.
This thing was actually a pile of metal fragments about a few meters in size gathered together. They weren't sticky, they were just hooked together. Some of the fragments weren't hooked tightly, so they floated around.
What exactly was this thing? It wasn't clear yet. When they came here before, they already found many of them, but they didn't find anything after dismantling them.
But Lin felt that this thing seemed to have been compressed into this shape by something.
Lin felt that this thing was formed by squeezing a pile of fragments in all directions, squeezing it into this square shape, and then …
So that's how it was. This might be scrap.
It was very similar to how the Voidmen dealt with scrap. The Voidmen also liked to compress large amounts of scrap and then pile it up in one place.
And this thing was also very similar, but why was it made of metal? Could it be that the things they normally used were pure metal?
But whether this thing was metal or not, it wasn't clear yet. It just looked like metal …
… Was that a meteorite?
A huge object suddenly appeared in front of them. The Battleship moved slightly to the side. This object flew past the Battleship and rushed into the distance.
A meteorite about a hundred meters in diameter …
Looking at the object flying away, Lin felt a bit strange, but Lin didn't chase after it and let the Battleship continue forward.
Here it comes again …
After flying for a few dozen seconds, another meteorite appeared in front of the Battleship. This time, it wasn't just one, but many. Countless meteorites flew in this direction, and it felt like … a meteor shower.
Bang! The propellers on the sides of the warship instantly erupted, dodging the first meteorite. However, Lin also discovered that the warship had entered a large number of meteorites, and there were two meteorites flying in their direction.
The battleship turned its body and shuttled between two meteorites. One of the meteorites slightly grazed the tail of the battleship, leaving a mark before continuing to fly into the distance …
It seemed that … Even if they were sailing in the void, they should make the warship streamlined. The current warship had many protruding parts, so it was not suitable for dodging.
However, even though the meteorites here looked dense, there were still many empty spots. As long as one paid attention …
Bang!
The battleship exploded once again and flew to an empty spot. At the same time, a large number of asteroids flew around Lin. Looking at these asteroids, Lin felt somewhat puzzled …
But now was not the time to relax.
A meteorite was rushing towards the front of the battleship.
Boom! At the next moment, the meteorite shattered into countless fragments, struck the outer shell of the battleship, and bounced off into the distance.
Occasionally, they would encounter some meteorites that they could not avoid, so they had to destroy them.
However, it seemed that there was nothing to do next …
A large number of meteorites flew past the battleship. This was already the last batch. They quickly flew behind the battleship and disappeared under the stars …
These meteorites felt really strange.
Lin used the 'eyes' on the back of the battleship to look at them. Why were these things flying in the void in groups? Their speed was not very fast, but it would still hurt if they collided with them.
Lin felt that these meteorites were not natural flying objects. They should have been deliberately thrown out … In that case, Lin should be getting closer and closer to the target …
However, how far was it?
The eyes on the battleship could see quite far away, but so far, there was nothing suspicious. Most of the things were blocked by the light of the stars, so it was not necessarily clear if there was something.
No … there was something strange there.
Lin's battleship instantly ejected energy and flew forward, and the thing that Lin saw in the distance sped up and fled into the distance at the same time.
That thing looked like … the shape of a shrimp, but it had no limbs, just like a shell. However, its speed was quite fast, and it was spraying strange colored energy behind it …
This should be the thruster of the coral.
Chasing after it, Lin could sense the smell left behind by the energy it sprayed out. It was indeed the smell that Lin had been following. Moreover, its shape and size were very suitable to be embedded behind the coral …
Moreover, Lin's battleship could catch up to it.
This object was now several tens of thousands of kilometers away from Lin, but Lin was slowly closing the distance. Lin found that most detection methods were ineffective against this object, only the eyes could see it directly.
Perhaps it had some special ability. I'll study it after catching it … What's going on?
Just as Lin was thinking, the thruster in the distance suddenly disappeared.
Strange, it seemed to have turned off the jets behind it, and it was invisible.
If other methods could not be used to detect it, and the eyes could not see it, then the target had been lost …
'Something's not right …' Lin suddenly realized that if she looked carefully, she could see some strange scenes in the distance. Lin could see the light of a star suddenly disappear and then reappear not long after. Sometimes, she could see a larger star being replaced by a smaller one …
So that's how it is … This thruster might have modified its outer shell to reflect light, just like a mirror.
Now that she knew, it was easy to see where it was. Thus, Lin's battleship did not stop, but maintained its previous speed and rushed towards it.
As for the thruster, although it could continue flying after stopping the jets, its speed was slower than before.
Lin approached it bit by bit. The distance of several tens of thousands of kilometers was quickly reduced to a few thousand kilometers, then a few hundred kilometers …
As she got closer, the object seemed to realize that hiding was no longer effective. It sprayed out jets again and suddenly accelerated.
However, it could no longer escape.
Bang! Lin's battleship closed the distance again in an instant. Now, the battleship was only a few hundred meters away from the thruster.
Moreover, the distance was getting closer and closer. The battleship was slowly flying side by side with the object.
Lin maintained the same speed as the object, and then a large number of openings opened on the sides of the battleship. A large number of tentacles shot out and hooked onto the thruster.
The thruster was about a hundred meters in size, not as big as Lin's battleship. It did not seem to have any weapons, but Lin did not know … if it would self-destruct or something like that, so she had to be extra careful.
Suddenly, a large amount of energy shot out from the front of the thruster, and its speed began to decrease rapidly. Lin immediately followed its actions and slowed the battleship down. Soon, both sides stopped in the void.
Why did it suddenly stop?
Although it was strange, the battleship did not stop. The tentacles began to release a large number of small troops on the thruster. These worm-like troops were equipped with the ability to dig. They stuck to the thruster and crawled everywhere, looking for a place to burrow into.
This thruster seemed to be made of the same material as the spears in the core of the 'coral', the black metal. But could this metal have the ability to reflect light like a mirror?
Moreover, its surface was very smooth, and there seemed to be no place to burrow into. The only place that could be burrowed in was the place where it shot out energy …
Not only could it shoot out energy from its tail, but it also had jets on its sides, although it had not used them just now.
Moreover, Lin also found a strange structure on its head. This structure was exactly the same as the circular mark on the tail of the coral that she found earlier.
This thing was indeed a thruster. In fact, Lin was not too sure just now, but …
Hum …
Suddenly, Lin heard a strange sound.
This sound … was not something that Lin simulated.
When fighting in the void, Lin would often simulate sounds in her mind to achieve the effect of sound effects in the void, but this sound was made by the thruster …
Its body … was shaking as if it was trembling.
Therefore, the tentacles that Lin placed on its body also felt the same vibration. Because the tentacles had auditory sensors, they could be converted into sound and transmitted into Lin's mind.
And this sound was like a 'hum …', as if there were many insects flying around, and it would change frequency from time to time.
What was it doing? Could it be that he was communicating with Lin?
However, Lin did not understand this language at all.
And it continued to vibrate. It kept changing frequency, as if it was changing tone during communication. However, Lin's soldiers did not stop. Some of the soldiers began to burrow into the thrusters on both sides of the thruster.
As the soldiers moved, the thruster vibrated faster and faster. At this moment, Lin felt a strange feeling …
This feeling was coming from other detection organs.
Lin had many detection devices on the battleship. They were installed with the original detectors of the void people, the detectors commonly used by the spiral creators, and the original biological organs to detect.
And now, the spiral creatures' detectors were reacting. Lin also saw a large object in front of her …
After seeing this object, Lin understood that the vibration just now might not be a communication with Lin, but a call for its companions. (To be continued …)
