"So … you've understood everything … but …"
In the depths of the dark underground, a huge creature was communicating with the ball of fluff in front of it.
After reading the history of the 'Star Bus', Lin realized that the creature had woken up.
No, it didn't really wake up. These words were more like a 'message', and this message was specially prepared for the creature who read its history.
After Lin finished reading its history, the dreamscape recorded in the history would change to a special 'scene'. This scene was a vast wasteland, and in the wasteland, there were some strange things that looked like wooden stakes.
As long as one touched the wooden stakes, the message would be 'triggered'.
"I don't know what you think … who are you … but, you can see my memories … you also understand me …"
This message was similar to a brainwave message, directly sending meaning instead of words, and it seemed to be intermittent. Lin Sanjiu didn't know when the Star Bus left behind this message.
"You can … kill me because I'm already very weak … I've experienced a lot, and I think my life is about to end …"
"But, my hope hasn't faded … I still have the possibility of being cured … but I can't do it myself, so I need to ask for help from an external object. If you want to help me … I will tell you …"
Lin listened to the message left behind by the creature. As the message continued, Lin noticed that the surrounding environment had also changed.
The wasteland turned into a cave, and in this cave, Lin saw many strange structures. Many tentacle-like objects stretched out around the cave walls.
And many of these tentacles seemed to be broken and incomplete. Only a few of them were intact. And almost all of them had scars on them.
"These are the 'wounds' they caused, and this is only one … there are many … I …"
As the message continued to be sent, it slowly became blurry, and the surrounding scenery also returned to a wasteland.
It seemed that when the creature left this message, it was in a rather painful state, and it couldn't leave a complete message … but Lin still guessed the key part.
This creature. In fact, it was very simple.
It was now very difficult for it to self-heal, perhaps due to the severe damage it received, but Lin believed that it wasn't entirely due to the brain spirit's attack. The brain spirit must have caused some damage to it, but it couldn't fully heal itself because there weren't many creatures left in its body.
Although it was unclear how the creatures were directly related to it, it was very protective of these creatures, so Lin thought it was very important.
And now, because it couldn't self-heal, it left this message, hoping that a creature who saw it would help it.
In fact, it wasn't difficult to see this message. Perhaps it just needed to sleep near the immune system receiver to wake up.
And the creature that the Star Bus's hope should be … Atlan.
Only Atlan could reach this place. The Star Bus thought that Atlan should still be left, so it placed its hope.
However, if the one who saw this memory was a brain-type creature, the Stellar Bus was prepared to die.
It could be seen that it was in a state of despair.
Of course, Lin still wanted it to be alive. Huge creatures like these were interesting existences in their own right.
So, Lin wanted to see if it could be cured. In the message, it also mentioned that something special was needed to cure it.
This item was on the other 'message stake'.
By touching this post, a special message would be received. This message would directly transmit the composition of a certain object to Lin's fluff ball brain.
While receiving the message, Lin noticed that the world around her had changed. Lin arrived in a space of nothingness. In this space, many objects were floating.
This object looked like a type of stone, and at the same time, Lin also received an introduction about these stones …
So, these stones were used for healing. They were called 'healing stones'. Lin came up with this name, and their main function was to heal the damaged parts of the Star Bus.
The damaged parts of the Star Bus seemed to be related to nerves. These nerves were made up of many structures, not just cells, but a mixture of structures.
There were some rare materials in these structures that seemed to require 'healing stones' to heal.
And the healing method seemed to only require the immune system to 'eat' the stones … The system in its body seemed to automatically decompose these stones for healing purposes.
So, that's it. But where should I get the healing stones?
This also stated that the place to get the healing stones was a place called '6779-3193'.
Obviously, this was Atlan's' coordinate '. Like the Voidfolk, Atlan liked to name many places in the Void. And the message left on the Star Bus was definitely left for Atlan.
Only Atlan could understand this message.
In short, this type of stone could not be found in this world. Normally, the Star Bus would be able to heal itself. But if a critical part of it was damaged, it would need those rare materials.
This felt very troublesome, but there was no other way … she could only search for these things.
However, in the process of searching, Lin would also study the body of the Star Bus to see if she could understand it and how it was transported.
If it were to die … what would happen?
Lin suddenly had this thought. If it died, it might be able to continue existing as a Tumbler, which wouldn't have much of an impact on the living creatures on its body. This was because its structure had basically stabilized, and it didn't need to continue growing. If it was near a star, it might continue to circle around the star.
Of course, if it were to die here, the living creatures on its body would not be able to survive. They might only be able to live in a slightly warmer place like this deep underground.
Could it be …
Lin thought of a possibility. The Star Bus could die … and after it died, its body would still be there.
Could it be that the other rollers were like this? Normally, Tumblers would only circle around the star. Under normal circumstances, they would not do anything strange.
But, was it a living … creature in the past?
Lin used to think that Tumblers could be living creatures. But now, it seemed that it was possible to think of them as' corpses'. And the living creatures that gathered on them were using the resources they left behind to survive.
In fact, there were many similar situations. For example, if large sea creatures died, their corpses would sink to the bottom of the sea.
Originally, the bottom of the sea was almost a barren underwater desert. But because of these large corpses, the bottom of the sea could obtain nutrients.
Around a large sea creature's corpse, there might be hundreds of living creatures. Their numbers and types were considerable. And these corpses were like oases for them.
Perhaps … it was the same in the Void?
Those large creatures like the Void Bus and the Star Bus, after they died, their bodies were bound by the gravitational force of the star. They just kept rotating in one place.
And many living creatures found a suitable place to live because of this.
But, were these living creatures on the surface from the beginning, or did they come from somewhere else?
There were still many unanswered questions. But now, one thing was certain. If the Star Bus died, its corpse would definitely become an ordinary Tumbler.
And the research of the Voidfolk generally believed that Tumblers were formed by a large number of small fragments.
Lin believed that there was a possibility, but there was definitely not only one possibility …
Then, let's go find the 'healing stone'.
With that in mind, Lin woke up from her dream. The environment outside hadn't changed at all, and the tremors from before had already stopped.
And to find the healing stone, she must first look at Atlan's coordinates. Since it was the coordinates that Atlan understood, it should be a place that they had been to or detected …
Hopefully, it would be easy to find.
Lin looked at Atlan's space station. There were many of Lin's units floating around the space station, researching some things.
This space station obviously had many secrets. At the same time, Lin also saw some of their coordinate records.
This record recorded some coordinates of the areas that Atlan had been to before, but there was no sign of the healing stone. So, Lin thought that she should look for it in the Fallout Shelter.
The Fallout Shelter should have more records, but it would not be easy to find them because she had to dig them out.
Some Fallout Shelters were used for research, and Lin had to dig them out to conduct her research. So far, the Fallout Shelters did not have such records.
However, Lin knew of a Fallout Shelter that gathered a lot of 'astronomical data' that Atlan had researched before the war. If she went to that Fallout Shelter, she should be able to find out where the coordinates were.
It seemed troublesome, but Lin felt that the Star Bus would not die so soon. It could probably live for a while, maybe a few hundred years.
Of course, a few hundred years was quite short for this kind of creature, but Lin still had enough time to find the healing stone.
Or find the structure that Lin understood before, then there was no need to look for it and she could directly cure it.
Then, while doing these things, Lin had to do something else … astronomy.
