As expected …
Was this their … true mission?
On Mars, Lin had been observing the construction of the Rock Skins. Most of their constructions had a clear purpose, such as planting crops for food, or modifying houses for a comfortable place to live, but there were also some things that didn't have a purpose.
For example, they had no reason to obtain signals from the signal towers, they just 'wanted to do so'.
However, the Rock Skins weren't just waiting for signals. They would also use the 'drawing function' in their imaging devices to draw some strange symbols, and then use the signal towers to send these symbols out.
What was the meaning of these symbols? Just like the signal towers, there was a very big reason for them to do this.
Interestingly, the Rock Skins didn't know this reason themselves. They couldn't see it in their memories, but they could see it in another place.
And that was Lin's Star Bus.
The new structures inside Lin's Star Bus were still growing, and recently, more neural structures had grown … structures.
Almost at the same time as the Rock Skins finished building the signal towers, Lin could sense that some kind of signal had appeared in these neural structures.
These signals could be translated by Lin into specific content. Lin felt that this wasn't a coincidence, but something deliberately 'designed' by Ershi.
Ershi planned to explain these things to Lin at this time.
The content was information about the collapse of the Star Bus, combined with some knowledge from the Dream Eater …
Lin already knew what was going on.
… The situation was more or less like this …
The collapse was mainly caused by changes in the organs inside the body.
When a Star Bus collapsed, it meant that the organs related to gravity and teleportation began to function abnormally. In the end, it would affect other organs, causing the Star Bus to react violently.
This phenomenon would lead to large-scale earthquakes and other situations on the surface of the planet. In the end, it would change the entire terrain and even … cause the entire planet to completely collapse, leaving behind a pile of floating wreckage. Simply put, the Stellar Bus had torn itself apart.
This phenomenon would appear on the Star Bus that was about to die. In other words, it would appear on the Star Bus that was' connected to the world '.
But generally speaking, the collapse process was stable.
The Star Bus that was connected to the world would not collapse earlier or later. Usually, all of them would collapse at the same time.
If that wasn't the case … That meant that an anomaly had occurred.
This kind of collapse would also affect other Star Buses, regardless of whether they were young or adult. If a Star Bus approached another Star Bus that was in a state of collapse, its internal organs might become abnormal.
It was like a common phenomenon. Therefore, the other Star Bus usually wouldn't go near their dying brethren.
The 'close' here didn't mean that the two were very close to each other. Instead, it meant that they came into contact with each other through various means, such as teleporting things.
The reason why Ershi wanted to leave the place was related to this.
Ershi believed that the recent collapse of the Star Bus connecting the worlds would be transferred to other normal Star Buses.
Ershi's original position should not have been a problem, but after being 'guided' by some malicious … creature, it would be affected by the collapse, causing abnormalities in its internal organs. His entire body collapsed.
In order to avoid this collapse, Ershi left his original position.
The rock layer was left behind specifically to monitor the situation at his original position. The signal tower built on the rock layer was to receive and monitor the situation there, but so far, nothing had been found … which was to be expected, because the collapse time had not yet arrived.
Rin had read a lot about collapses before. Ershi's collapse time was still a while away, although she didn't know how long it had been.
But Rin had already seen one collapse in the connected world.
From the neural structure of the Star Bus, Rin understood that the guided collapse was not only targeted at Ershi, but also at many other Star Buses. In short, it was a … disaster for the Star Bus community.
Were some creatures deliberately doing this in an attempt to kill a large number of Star Buses? Based on the information Rin had gathered before, that was indeed the case.
But here it was. Ershi had a different idea … it seemed to believe that this was a 'natural phenomenon', and those creatures were simply taking advantage of this opportunity to appear and pretend that they were the ones who did it.
The information Rin had read before unanimously believed that these creatures were the cause of the collapse, but now Ershi believed that those creatures were simply taking advantage of the opportunity.
Rin also had a sudden thought. Rin felt that Ershi might be able to directly transmit information to this neural system.
But this information was not complete. Rin still felt that there was something strange about it. The Star Bus community that connected the worlds did not collapse at the same time. They were all connected to each other, and there were no signs of this happening, and the creatures on them were still very active.
And would Rin's Star Bus be affected as well?
Moreover, how did these collapses happen? Aside from dodging, did the Star Bus have no way to defend itself?
But since they could dodge, it meant that the threat shouldn't be too great, unlike Ershi, who had already left his original position.
Aside from observing Ershi's original position, Mars' mission on the Rockskin was also a combat mission.
If they encountered any suspicious creatures, they were to attack them. But that obviously required the Rockskin to create warships, which was a bit difficult for them.
In the information that appeared in the neural system, Rin found that there was no mention of any abnormalities … That meant that the Star Bus that connected the worlds did not collapse at the same time. Why was there such an abnormality?
Because this was a huge matter, and they had to thoroughly understand it. But it seemed that they couldn't do anything special at the moment.
Recently, Rin had received a report about the Hierarch. His metal spiders had been exploring the Star Bus at 'Gate 1' for some time, and according to his report, there were very few creatures there.
Although there were more creatures than in the Dark World, it was completely incomparable to the Void Camp, which seemed to be a world that was about to collapse.
If they were really going to collapse, then it should be stopped. After all, there were so many interesting creatures living in the connected worlds.
