Floating … Darkness …
She seemed to have successfully sneaked into a strange place …
This was the interior of a black metal warship, and at the same time, it was also a dark space.
The surroundings were filled with huge metal fragments, and there seemed to be no gravitational system, so everything here was floating.
Including where Lin was now — Nimo's body, which was also floating in this space.
Nimo's body was originally floating in the void outside, but the black metal warships nearby suddenly moved, and the surface of the nearest warship suddenly opened up, and the strong gravitational force inside sucked Nimo's body in, and Lin also successfully sneaked in …
Even though she did not know how to get in here …
Just as she was thinking, Lin suddenly felt a strong airflow, and this airflow instantly blew Nimo's body away, and the surrounding debris was also blown away.
As the airflow slowly calmed down, Lin also felt that this place was filled with air …
It seemed to be inflating this place just now, but it was obviously not oxygen, and after being filled with air, this place was not as cold as before.
Even though there was still nothing around aside from the debris, Lin might have to explore on her own to find anything.
'Boom!' The surrounding air vibrated.
Lin felt that the warship seemed to have hit something, causing the interior to tremble.
Why was this warship suddenly acting strangely? It was the same when it suddenly sucked in everything around it, it might be preparing to do something.
Lin felt that these warships were acting strangely. It might have something to do with Lin's battle on the mother ball of the Voids.
On the mother ball of the Voids. The battle seemed to have entered a relatively late stage.
Now. The battle between flesh and metal microbes continued, and under the intense battle, these corpses had not yet rotted.
This was because the metal microbes would kill off all the nearby saprophytic bacteria, and Lin's small army would capture the saprophytic bacteria as nutrients, without their decomposition, the corpses would not rot …
And because of this, the Voids on the blockade wall did not notice the battle below.
On the battlefield, Lin's army occupied a large number of corpses. Even though the crystal lizards also occupied some, because there were too few of them, they could not produce enough gas to destroy the Voids' filter.
In addition to this small victory, Lin also took care of many crystal lizards.
Lin's army of crystal lizards was mainly the hand of the Voids' corpses.
As long as the flesh inside the miniature army was decomposed and filled with new muscle structures, then separated from the main body, a hand that could crawl freely would be born just like that!
These creatures were very useful. They crawled around the ruins like spiders, and as soon as they encountered a crystal lizard, they would pounce on it and hug it. Then, he crushed it with pure pressure.
Although the crystal lizard had a crystal-like shell, its body was not very resistant to pressure. They were easily crushed and could be easily dealt with in this way.
Moreover, there were many hands. Even if a portion of them were destroyed, more could be made. Because of the simple structure, the production speed was much faster than making a ball of wool.
With this large army, Lin slowly defeated the surrounding troops.
Many Voids on the wall saw the hands crawling around the ruins, but most of them thought it was an 'illusion' to deceive themselves. Some reported it to the captain, but the captain did not even look at it and said it was impossible …
After that, Lin put a thin layer of shell on the corpses that were missing hands, making it look like the hands were still intact. Therefore, it was not suspected by many Voids … If the Voids felt strange and came down to check, Lin felt that the crystal lizards might take the opportunity to attack and cause damage to the army of Voids.
However, it was unlikely that the crystal lizards could climb up the blockade wall. One reason was that the wall was very smooth and difficult to climb. Another reason was that the walls of the Voids had sensors. Even small creatures like them would be noticed if they climbed up.
The crystal lizards were very afraid of fire. The 'jelly' in their bodies would melt under high temperatures. This was very similar to the Void Buses …
The crystal lizards quickly retreated under the attack of the hands. They did not join the new army, but all retreated back to Black Metal City …
However, Lin did not stop there. A large army of hands caught up with the retreating crystal lizards. Other than killing some of them, Lin also caught a lot of crystal lizards. More individuals were beneficial for her to continue her various studies on them.
However, the army stopped when they reached the bottom of Black Metal City's walls.
Lin did not enter Black Metal City. Instead, she let them wander outside the city and observe the black city.
After this battle, their plan to eliminate the Voids without losing a single soldier had of course failed. Therefore, the warships in the Void had taken action.
Were they planning to invade directly? Or were they planning to use some 'small tricks' to solve the problem?
Lin felt that she could find the answer in her warship.
Nemo's body was still floating in the zero-gravity environment full of air … The previous tremors had disappeared, and because Nemo's body had been floating, it was about to hit the edge of this space.
There was a huge metal wall here. There was almost nothing on the smooth wall. However, about ten meters away, there was a square passage that looked like an entrance.
Lin felt that she should be able to enter the warship through that …
However, she had to get away from the body first.
Lin looked around. Among the floating debris, the metal balls used for detection were moving. They used light to carefully scan every piece of floating debris and used high temperature to kill any microorganisms on it.
Lin had never seen these scanners stop working. However, the number of scanners varied in different places. It seemed that they were not so dense here.
Now, it was time to test their anti-detection ability.
In the gaps of Nemo's body's armor, some small soldiers floated out.
These soldiers were also in the form of pom-poms, but only about one centimeter in diameter. Their outer fluff was specially made by Lin so that it looked black from the outside.
These pom-poms were created after Lin had done a lot of observation and testing on Black Metal City's detection method. However, she had not tested whether it was effective or not.
Ten small black pom-poms flew out and flew along the metal wall to the entrance above. They stuck close to the wall because the scanners did not scan the wall much.
They were close to the entrance … A scanner flew over from above. They did not notice the pom-poms.
When they reached the edge of the entrance, one pom-poms flew in first while the others stayed outside.
What … is this?
The moment the first pom-poms flew in, a large number of strange objects entered Lin's vision. She saw that the walls on both sides of the passage were covered with … stones of different shapes.
These stones were about ten centimeters in size and their shapes were completely different. They seemed to have been glued together and densely covered all four walls of the passage.
What were these things used for? They don't seem to be made of metal.
With this thought in mind, several pom-poms flew into the passage and slowly moved on these strange stones.
This passage was not completely dark. Some of the stones emitted a faint fluorescent light. This light was enough for Lin to see her surroundings …
That's …
A scanner suddenly appeared in front of her. Lin immediately had the pom-poms hide in the cracks of the stones below. The detection ball flew over the stones as it scanned. A bit of the scanning light shone in and shone on a pom-pom …
The scanner stopped and began to carefully scan the rock crevice.
Generally speaking, after discovering a target, the scanner would instantly eliminate the target. However, when it was uncertain about a target, the scanner would hesitate and need to scan repeatedly to confirm.
The pom-poms could sense the scanning light shining on their pom-poms. Generally speaking, when they were shone on, Lin would feel a special energy seeping in. However, this time, there was none. It seemed that the anti-detection pom-poms were working.
However, it still could not completely dispel her doubts.
After scanning for a few dozen seconds, the scanner changed to a different color and continued scanning. The whole process lasted for nearly a hundred seconds before it flew out.
It seemed that staying still was the key.
Not only did the body have to stay still, the cells on the pom-poms also had to stay still. Lin had already confirmed that the scanner could detect the life activity of the cells.
Its scanning was targeted at non-black metal creatures. Thus, Lin had to act like a piece of metal. These scanners would only investigate based on the target's life signature and would not detect anything strange about the target's shape.
The pom-poms continued to fly forward. As they went deeper into the tunnel, the surrounding stones became more and more … normal.
Previously, the stones looked like they were twisted to the extreme or covered with dense protrusions and other strange shapes. However, when they reached a depth of tens of meters, the stones looked like ordinary stones and no longer had any complicated shapes.
However, they could see something special here …
Between some of the stones, small cracks could be seen, and within these cracks, there were some sharp protrusions that looked like thorns.
Lin did not know what they were, but these thorns could move.
When the pom-poms flew over them, the thorns would move and point at the pom-poms.
However, they were probably not used for detection. Although they could detect the pom-poms, they did not have any special reaction.
Lin decided to ignore them for now as she did not know what would happen if she got close to them. Thus, she continued to fly deeper into the tunnel.
What would she encounter next? This warship felt completely different from the Voidfolk. Lin mainly wanted to see the energy system and the engine, but she did not know how to get there yet …
