"Click!" The door of the train opened. This article was written by

Starter.
A weeping cub was dragged in.
This time, the door was not closed.
Because the cone that had dragged the cub in was still at the door, and there was more than one of them.
There were dozens of cones standing at the door of the train, and they seemed to be looking inside.
Lin's baby spies had been created. The spies stayed among the cubs, observing the situation outside.
These cones did not find the spies. In fact, they did not come in to check at all. They just kept dragging the cubs in, and occasionally climbed to the window to take a look.
Now, the number of cubs had reached 200.
Although he didn't know why this number of cubs was needed, it seemed to be enough. Once the number of cubs was reached, the pompoms outside noticed that all the cones suddenly stopped what they were doing. It was as if they were all fixed in place.
Then, they all walked over to him.
In fact, Lin had seen this phenomenon several times before, but they only gathered half of the cones, and then quickly went back to collect more cubs.
Why? Because some of the cubs died.
Before the number reached 200, even if there were 199 of them, they were all working non-stop.
Because some of the cubs were too seriously injured when they were dragged over, and finally died in the train. The dead cubs did not count. They would see which ones died in the window, and as long as the number of dead cubs was less than 200, they would go back to work.
These crystal lizards seemed to be working in unison. But Lin felt that they only acted this way after they had contacted each other. It was not the same as the unity of the branch species.
In order to reach 200 as soon as possible. Lin treated a few seriously injured cubs, and only then was there enough to reach 200 cubs.
And now... What were they going to do?
A large number of cones gathered around. They climbed to the window of the train with their barbed 'legs' at the bottom, observed the situation inside for a while, and then scattered.
Then, Lin heard a small buzzing sound, and saw some of the cones drive to the door of the train in a small car.
This was... the small car used here to transport luggage and goods.
So they could even drive this... Then, they dragged the cubs one by one into the small car.
They could not lift their young. However, there was a sloping board next to the cart that could be lowered. Just like that, after the cone filled one cart with the cubs, it brought the next cart and continued to place the cubs.
Lin reckoned that if one of the cubs died at this time, they would immediately stop working.
However, Lin had already confirmed that such a thing would not happen.
After filling the two carriages with cubs, the two cones arrived in front of Lin's spy. Lin's spy was specially made to look exactly like the cubs around him, with scars from friction all over his body. Furthermore, he looked rather weak.
These cones did not suspect the spy at all.
They dragged the spy directly into the third car. It didn't seem to find anything strange, so it started dragging other cubs.
This way, he should be able to blend in with them …
Lin watched as they piled the hatchlings onto the cars. Two hundred hatchlings filled up twenty cars in total. The cars then lined up in a row and left the space dome in an orderly manner.
These carts for transporting luggage were operated by small three-dimensional devices. Lin found that these cones were all operated by the 'limbs' at the bottom, and they seemed to be operating very well.
In the surrounding buildings, the Voidfolk leaned against the windows and watched the situation here. Those Voidfolk who still had their cubs were almost glad that they had not been found yet, while those Voidfolk who had their cubs taken away were filled with sadness, anger, and other emotions. After seeing the miserable state of their companions, none of them dared to come out and take back their cubs.
These vehicles drove on the road, heading towards the giant egg that belonged to the Black Metal.
It seemed that it was indeed possible to blend in directly.
The cars quickly approached the dome. Lin's spy was in the third car, following the car in front and driving into the dome.
The moment they entered, Lin's surroundings suddenly fell into darkness. Only the lights in the cars could illuminate a very small area. Lin found that the walls on both sides had a metallic luster, and there were many strange symbols on them.
Could it be their words? But why would they draw words on the walls?
However, the feeling here was indeed very special...
This seemed to be a passage. The car driven by the cones moved forward steadily. At the same time, Lin also found that the symbols on the surrounding walls had changed a lot. Lin recorded these 'words' as they might be useful in the future.
Currently, Lin's pompom had made some progress in communicating with the captured crystal lizard. It could understand a few simple meanings. Lin would see if it could communicate with these words later.
On the other hand, the surroundings of the cubs were still completely dark. The car drove forward for hundreds of meters before stopping. The surroundings suddenly fell into silence. Only the sound of the cubs' sobbing could be heard echoing here...
The cones that drove the car also jumped out. After running out of the range of light, their figures disappeared.
The spy looked around. Lin felt that this was a relatively wide place. It should be a space similar to a room, but where did the crystal lizards go? Why did they leave the cubs here?
There were only five cars here, and the other cars seemed to be in other rooms.
After waiting for thousands of seconds, Lin found that the cones of crystal lizards had not returned. So, Lin decided to check this place out. However, the spy's cub remained motionless. Instead, she released some small troops to explore.
This time, it could also be said that Lin was testing the cells of the atmospheric organism.
The spy released some slime-sized troops from her fingertips. They were about 0.1 millimeters in size. Their shape was created by Lin according to the atmospheric slime. They had a pair of wings and could float and fly.
These troops flew out from the spy's fingertips. Using their own light ability, they observed the completely dark environment.
However, if they were in the air, they could see nothing but floating dust. So, Lin let them fly to the ground.
This is...
The moment they reached the ground, Lin saw a very strange scene.
Within the range of light, countless' things' were moving in Lin's field of vision. Their structure looked like metal, but also like rock. They were in different shapes. Some were like ball-shaped things rolling on the ground, some were running fast, and some seemed to be fighting with each other.
They were all less than 0.1 millimeters in size. From her small vision, there were mountains and valleys in this place. These creatures were moving on all of these. Lin felt that this was a wilderness formed by the gathering of microbes... There were countless kinds of creatures living here.
Dong! While Lin was looking at this' wilderness', a dazzling light suddenly shone from the valleys in front of her. The strong light illuminated the whole room.
Lin found that the 'valleys' on the ground were actually carved marks on the ground. They were like the words carved on the walls, covering the whole room.
These marks emitted a dazzling light, illuminating the place. The spy in the car also saw that the whole space was about a few dozen meters in diameter. Whether it was the walls, the ground, or the roof, they were all carved with the glowing marks.
Crack! While Lin was looking at the changes in her surroundings, the roof above the spy's head suddenly opened. A black metal claw reached down from above.
The claw grabbed a cub next to Lin and then retracted.
After more than ten seconds, it reached out again, grabbed another cub, and retracted.
It seemed that they had finally decided to do something to the cubs here.
After grabbing a few cubs, Lin found that the claw finally reached the spy. It grabbed the spy's head with the right amount of force and lifted him up.
Lin found that the claw seemed to maintain a certain amount of force. This amount of force could cause some damage to the cubs, but the stronger ones could withstand it.
Could it be that they were selecting the stronger cubs? Just like how they left the cubs on the train to die, maybe they wanted to pick the strong ones who survived.
But Lin felt that they were doing something wrong.
Anyway, let's see what they wanted to do first.
The spy was grabbed by the claw and dragged into the wall above. It was a narrow but flat passage. After a few turns, the claw stuffed the spy into a small space.
This space could only fit three cubs. It was very narrow, and the walls were full of cracks. After the claw retreated, the entrance to the space closed.
Maybe the other cubs were stuffed into the same place.
Lin found that there were many 'metal microbes' here, but they didn't seem to like to burrow into wounds like normal microbes. Because the spy had completely imitated the other cubs, including the softness of his skin, he had made some wounds when he was brought here. These metal microbes seemed to dislike liquids. They would avoid dripping blood.
These creatures … could represent the living environment of the 'black metal'. They …
Crack! While Lin was thinking, the wall above the spy's head suddenly opened. Lin felt a sharp object pierce into the spy's head.
She felt a cold feeling being injected into the spy's brain at an extremely fast speed.
This spy had the same brain as the other cubs, and they seemed to be injecting some kind of information into his brain …
