A blood-red rock wall, a cracked surface, and sand particles floating in the air.
When the machine named Spectre opened its side door, this was the scene that appeared before the eyes of Pompon and the five soldiers.
Because they were afraid that the Spirit Machine would do something strange and fly somewhere, the soldiers inside all walked out and stepped on this red area.
"This place … can't be wrong." One of the soldiers was still repeating what he said earlier: "This is where the commander died …"
"How do you know that?" another soldier asked: "Wasn't the commander's place of death never found?"
"That's just … a secret" the soldier said: "… the mayor and the other higher-ups didn't want the civilians and soldiers to know about it"
"In fact, the information that the commander sent back clearly showed the location of his death, and some other … things"
When the soldier spoke, he turned on 'close range communication mode' so that his words wouldn't be heard by the captain and the other soldiers.
"There seems to be a lot of problems here …" another soldier said: "Why hide so many things? And how do you know? "
"Because I happened to overhear the conversation between the mayor and some military officers when I was adjusting the signal in my helmet" The soldier said: "They … didn't go into too much detail, only the location of his death"
The soldier was lying.
Although she couldn't sense his emotions in the void, she could tell from his tone that he didn't know this was the location of his death through some sort of signal in his helmet.
However, he wasn't lying about this being the location of the commander's death.
Now. Lin was slightly interested to know what they were hiding. Since this was where the commander died. That meant the core of the dream should be nearby.
Lin looked around. This place was about as spacious as the previous one. The distance from one side of the cave to the other was about 100 meters, and the ceiling was 30 meters high.
There were many strange cracks on the ground. These cracks weren't 'natural'. They looked very straight, as if they were made by claws, and each crack was at least 10 meters long. If they were made by a creature, it would be a very large creature, but the height of this cave didn't seem to be able to accommodate such a large creature.
There were also many sharp red stone pillars here, as if something was hiding behind those stone pillars.
Other than that, there was also a lot of … sand floating in the air.
There were grains of sand everywhere in the air. It was still a mystery why there were so many floating things here. In short, these things made up the unique environment here. So where was the commander's body and the dream core hidden in this environment?
Also, what kind of creature attacked the commander's troops?
So far, they didn't encounter any dangerous creatures. The most dangerous creature was the Gel Creature, but if it wasn't for Lin, they wouldn't have encountered such a dangerous creature. This troop should be able to pass through safely.
Back then, the commander had brought a lot of troops, but they were all wiped out. Obviously, there was something extremely dangerous here, but they hadn't encountered it yet …
Could it be that those dangerous creatures weren't here?
"What should we do now?"
The soldiers were currently gathered more than ten meters away from the spirit machine. They clearly did not know where to go ….
"Maybe we should stay here and wait for Captain and the others to come over." One of the soldiers said. The other three soldiers also agreed. "Yes, let's do that. It's too dangerous to walk around."
While they were discussing, Lin's velvet ball was inside the machine's cockpit, inspecting the things inside. Lin wanted to see how the machine worked.
However, it seemed like after flying here, the machine's energy had been depleted. The system had shut down. There was no response, so it would be hard to detect anything …
"But …" When the velvet ball finished its inspection, Lin heard one of the soldiers voice a different opinion from his partner …
"I want to see where the commander died," the soldier said. He was the one who had identified the location where the commander died. "There are many questions. I want to confirm it."
"But won't that be dangerous?" "Let's wait here for now, Captain and the others will soon …"
"Beep … beep …" Before they could finish, the sensors in their helmets beeped.
Lin could hear this sound as well. This unique sound meant …
"There's something nearby!" "It's something big … It's coming!" "We can't stay here, let's go!" The soldiers instantly became flustered. They hurriedly ran in one direction, and the pompom followed them.
However, Lin left a strand of velvet on the machine to see what kind of creature it was.
"It should be fine here. The sensors are not responding."
The five soldiers ran for about a hundred seconds and arrived at a huge stone pillar. This stone pillar was connected to the ground and the ceiling of the cave. It was more than ten meters in diameter and looked rather huge. The soldiers heaved a sigh of relief as they looked at the signal from the sensor.
"What should we do now?" "I think we should go find where the commander died." "Don't go there, it's too dangerous." "No, there are some things that I need to clarify."
The soldiers were divided over where to go. Lin focused on the thing before her. There were still many grains of sand floating around, but Lin noticed that there were some strange things among the grains of sand.
These things were about the same size as the grains of sand, and their color was similar to sand. However, they had many limbs, and upon closer inspection, these limbs were still moving.
They looked like tiny insects, and Lin noticed that these things seemed to be moving with a purpose …
There were many of these tiny 'sand worms' in the air, and they were slowly gathering together on one of the soldiers' … helmet.
"What are these?"
The soldier also noticed the abnormality. He reached his hand out to wipe the sand worms off his face.
When one of the sand worms was touched, they seemed to trigger a chain reaction. Lin noticed that all the sand worms around her started to move. They all flew towards the soldier's helmet and tightly wrapped around him.
"Ah! What's going on? " The soldier panicked. He kept patting the helmet, but every time he patted a part of the sand away, more sand would gather around him.
Lin felt that these sand worms were very similar to the Icicles from before. While the soldier was panicking, another soldier suddenly said, "Don't move!"
"What?" He was shocked and stopped his patting.
After a while, the sand worms slowly dispersed and returned to their previous floating state.
"Thank goodness." The soldier who told him to stop said, "The more agitated you are, the more they will attack you. If this continues, they might bite through your helmet."
"What? Is it that dangerous? I … Ah? "
As the soldier spoke, he suddenly did something strange. He lay on the ground and slammed his head against the ground.
"What's wrong with you?" The soldiers around him looked at him in confusion.
"I don't know! It seems like the armor is on … "
Before he could finish, the armor's propulsion system suddenly activated, and he floated up.
"Wait!" He cried out in fear, "I can't move! Save me! "
"How … How do we save him?" The soldiers stared blankly as their companion floated up, seemingly helpless.
There was indeed no way. After all, they would die if they took off their armor, and the armor they wore couldn't be controlled remotely.
So, there was only one way.
They looked at each other, and the soldiers immediately flew up to grab their companion who couldn't be controlled and said, "Anyway, let's wait for the captain and the others to come …"
'Bang!'
A sound was simulated in Lin's mind. She saw the armor of the one she grabbed suddenly open, and the soldier inside was instantly shot out.
"Ahhhhh!" Lin saw that its mouth was wide open. Even though it couldn't make a sound in the void, Lin could still simulate its screams before it died.
Soon, in the void environment, its internal organs and blood gushed out from various parts of its body. Then, with a bang, it exploded.
It seemed that this creature's body structure was quite special … That was why it could be seen like this. If it were other creatures … For example, the Voidfolk wouldn't explode when thrown into the void.
But, why did its armor throw it out?
Its companions were also shocked by this scene. Because of that, the armor they grabbed suddenly broke free from them and flew towards a place at high speed.
"It … It turned into a ghost?"
The soldiers were stunned for a while before coming to this conclusion.
"Anyway, let's go and see! Maybe we can find out the reason behind the ghost incident! "The soldier who wanted to see the commander immediately said, and then he also chased after it.
The remaining three soldiers looked at each other, and also followed.
"This is …"
After flying for a while, Lin came to a place that seemed to have … a lot of 'ghosts'.
The four soldiers stopped in the air. In front of them was a vast red land, and there were many ghosts. They were all armors, and it seemed like there were no living creatures inside. These ghost armors were crawling slowly on the ground, and it looked very … strange.
"Let's get out of here quickly … Otherwise, our armors might turn into ghosts too …"
Seeing so many ghosts, the soldiers couldn't help but feel fear, except for the one who wanted to see the commander.
"The commander's corpse must be here!" It flew over a large number of ghost armors and shone its light everywhere, trying to find what it was looking for.
"Found it!" It floated in the sky.
