A new destination for the journey?
Looking at the stars in the void, Lin had decided on a new destination. That place might be able to find the origin of the core's birth, but there might also be nothing there.
Whatever, let's go take a look first.
For that, Lin needed to create a new 'Star Traveler'.
Now, Lin intended to build this new world in the Land of the Core Protectors. The creator had also promised not to cause any damage to this world. Instead, he would slowly expand his own dream world within his own core. At the same time, he had to endure the words of those miniscule Core Protectors while thinking of ways to seal them.
The original Core Protectors had gone missing, and perhaps they would really give up on their mission to protect the core.
The researcher stayed close to the creator. Although the creator had no intention of destroying this world's Dream World, it was still worried. The researcher believed that the Dream Eater would definitely wake up, and when that happened, the Dream Eater would kill the creator.
Because the creator had made such a move, it might speed up the Dream Eater's awakening time.
Lin also wanted the Dream Eater to wake up, because there were many things she needed to understand through it.
In short, there was nothing out of the ordinary now, and it could be said that everyone was happy. The journey in the void continued, and there was nothing out of the ordinary so far. Perhaps nothing would happen along the way, and they would arrive at the ancestral land of Atlan.
However, there seemed to be many things happening on the other side.
* Krak Krak Krak! *
Under the gray sky, a six-limbed creature covered in white threads was running happily on the road with its friends. They would occasionally stop. They would admire the beautiful scenery around them. For example, the broken road, abandoned vehicles, and a gas station that had been turned into ruins due to an explosion.
Everything was so beautiful.
* Bang! *
With a loud explosion, one of the creature's head suddenly exploded, and the white substance inside instantly spilled all over the ground. Its body also fell powerlessly to the ground.
* Argh! *
His drunkard companions screamed and fled in all directions at high speed. But they didn't run far before they fell down with a series of loud noises.
* Kaboom! *
After they fell, a huge armored vehicle slowly drove to the side of their corpses. A fully armed Void Person was standing on the vehicle with a huge gun in his hand. He glanced at the corpses and said proudly, "All of them have their heads blown off! How's my skill? "
"What skill!" A voice replied from the vehicle. "Didn't I tell you not to use conventional weapons? That will only spread the fungus."
"But they've already run to this location, and this vehicle is too slow to catch up. How can these things run so fast? "
The Void Dweller on the vehicle jumped to the ground. More than ten kilometers away, they could already see a metal jungle filled with skyscrapers. That was the nearest city.
"We've at least stopped them from going there, right?"
"But I heard that the city isn't peaceful either because it's too close to X City."
X-City was the city where the Astral Gate was located, the source of the outbreak of the plague fungus. Not long ago, countless infected Voids had appeared in this city. The general immediately gave the order for the fighter fleet to bombard the entire city with high-energy incendiary bombs, causing the city to be engulfed in a sea of fire.
However, there were still a lot of Void Folk who escaped from the city and rushed to other cities. Therefore, the general immediately sent out troops to chase after Apricot and kill all the Void Folk that escaped. Currently, there were no Void Folk approaching the nearby cities.
. But the nearby cities were not safe because of that.
Infections started to appear in the cities one after another.
"Attention, all citizens. Close your doors and windows. Turn on your filters. If you have to go out, you must bring the latest respirators and wear thick clothes. It's best to cover your entire body. You must wash yourself clean every time you return!"
The voice of the announcement echoed between the metal buildings.
This was a city near X-City. The Void Dwellers here were the most fearful group of citizens. Because it was the closest to the site of the incident, they were worried that the fungus would come here at any time. They were all on tenterhooks.
Those who could leave had left long ago. But in such a large city, there would always be a large number of Void Dwellers. These citizens who could not leave for various reasons could only stay here and experience the taste of fear.
The Void Dwellers had directed countless doomsday scenes in movies. The most common doomsday scenes were various infected Void Dwellers mutating into creatures that would bite their own kind.
In reality, that type of infection was vulnerable to the power of an efficient army. But the situation now was different.
"Attention, all citizens. Prepare saltwater. If you show signs of infection, immediately soak yourself in extremely salty water!"
A huge war chariot was driving through the city, and the soldiers sitting on the war chariot kept repeating one sentence after another through a loudspeaker.
The information about saltwater was published not long ago. It was the pope who told the general that the fungus was afraid of seawater. However, this had nothing to do with seawater.
The main thing was that 'salty water' would be fine.
The fungus could not grow in salty water. They did not have the ability to filter the high salt content in the water. This was mainly caused by the 'curse' from a long time ago.
If they encountered something that they could not adapt to, the fungus would slowly adapt to it. But saltwater was a 'curse' in the nucleus of the fungus, so they could not resist it.
But this did not mean that they could not resist saltwater.
Although the fungus would stop growing in water, it would not necessarily die. And if the salt in the water was too low, it would not have any effect on the fungus.
However, this method did make the Voidfolk here feel a lot more at ease. Every one of them had prepared a large amount of saltwater. If there was any problem, they would soak in it. This solved a lot of problems.
At the same time, the general had previously tried to equip the troops with saltwater high-pressure water guns. But it was quickly discovered that it was not as effective as flamethrowers. The saltwater had almost no effect on the fungus carpet. And when the water dried up, the fungus would continue to grow.
Therefore, the general was now asking the research team to see if there was any other way to deal with the fungus.
Until the research was done, the Voidfolk could only wait here.
"Seriously, how long is this going to last?"
The soldier who made the announcement looked at the scene around the city and could not help but complain. He looked at some of the images displayed on the helmet. The helmet was currently showing the situation in X City.
The billowing smoke and flickering flames in the city meant that the city was in a state of fire. But in the buildings where the flames were extinguished, a large number of mycelium grew.
These organisms seemed to be impossible to kill. No matter how they were burned, they would grow out of the ashes. Now that a large number of troops were dealing with the fungus in X City, it seemed impossible to kill them all without using destructive weapons.
"I really hope it ends soon."
"Wu —" A strange sound was heard.
"What is that?" The soldier was stunned. He raised his head and looked in the direction of the sound. In the sky, there was a small black organism flying with its wings spread out.
"What is that?"
Not only this soldier, but the other Voidfolk on the streets of the city also looked at the sky with a surprised expression. The grey sky of the Voidfolk world had not seen any flying creatures for hundreds of years, so they all felt that this scene was very strange.
The flying little creature spun a few times in the air before suddenly exploding with a bang.
"Could it be …" The soldier on the vehicle immediately reacted. He immediately shouted, "Don't just stand here and watch, quickly go back."
"Ahhhhh!"
Suddenly, a Voidfolk on the street screamed. The soldier turned around and saw that its face was covered with mycelium, and it was still growing rapidly.
"Didn't I tell you to wrap your body properly?" The soldier immediately pointed the flamethrower at the Voidfolk and said, "Surrounding Voidfolk, get out of the way!"
"Wait! I can still be saved, I can go back and soak in saltwater, I can still ahhhhh! "
Before it could finish speaking, it was soaked in flames.
If the body had mycelium, soaking in saltwater would be useless, unless its blood had a high concentration of salt.
In fact, the biggest use of saltwater was that after the Voidfolk died in saltwater, its corpse would not grow any more mycelium.
"Ahhhhh!" After the Voidfolk was burned to death, the other Voidfolk screamed and ran away. The soldier looked at the sky again.
"Those things."
In the sky, those black flying organisms appeared again.
And this time, there were about ten of them.
"All units, pay attention! Flying organisms have appeared in City X, they are flying towards the surrounding cities. In the surrounding cities, evacuate the civilians, ask them to hide in their houses and not go out! "
"It's too late to say that now!"
Bang! The soldier saw those things in the sky explode again. A kind of powder spilled out from the bodies of the exploded organisms. It floated down like a mist and scattered among the screaming civilians.
"Ahhhhhhh!"
Fear and mycelium began to spread among the Voidfolk. The soldiers here could only hold their weapons and rush forward to get rid of them before they infected more civilians.
