"They … they're going to build a bridge."
"Build a bridge?"
As the mayor said so, Lin saw the micro machines begin to move.
A black … tentacle-like thing slowly extended from the surface of the black fog.
The tentacle had a diameter of more than 300 meters. After it extended from the surface of the black fog, it grew rapidly. It should be made up of countless micro-machines, but its appearance did not have the obvious' granular 'feel like the black fog of the micro-machines. It was a whole body.
The reason why Rin thought the micro-machinery looked like a huge cloud of fog was because the micro-machinery inside had gathered into small droplet-like objects. Although she didn't know why they did that, the tentacle that stretched out was completely integrated, so there wasn't any gap between them.
It grew faster and faster, and it extended to the nearest floating rock. Lin watched as it slowly touched the floating rock, and then … it drilled into the rock.
It seemed to be slowly breaking down the surface of the rock and drilling into it.
Then, the tentacle completely penetrated the rock, drilled to the other side, and continued to extend into the distance.
"What's the purpose of building this' bridge '?" Lin looked at the situation, and at the same time, asked the pompom to ask the mayor.
"It seems to be … to expand the range of the 'collapse'!" The mayor said, "It wants to expand itself!"
Expand? It didn't look like that.
Looking at the tentacle that continued to extend outwards, Lin decided to test it again. Lin thought. Lin had a rock in the distance slowly extend a 'cannon' and aimed it at the tentacle.
The tentacle was now almost 20 kilometers long. It felt very long, but compared to the black fog, it was quite short. Lin Sanjiu didn't know what would happen if she broke it.
Bang!
A moment later, a missile flew out from Lin's rock and headed straight for the tentacle that stretched out from the black fog.
'Boom!' Just like before. There was no intercepting, no defense. The missile hit the tentacle directly. The explosion of light caused the tentacle to explode in the middle, and the tentacle was broken in half.
At the same time, Lin also noticed that the micro machines' mist started to glow. It seemed that hitting the tentacle was the same as hitting the machine itself, it would also trigger a counterattack.
But before it was counterattacked. Lin had already moved the rock she had attacked earlier, making it hide behind the rock.
But this time, it wasn't just one rock that was hiding. Between the black fog and Lin's rock, there were a total of … … 100 floating rocks.
The miniature machines continued to attack.
When the ray of light sputtered out, it instantly hit the stone at the front of the line.
The light of the explosion reduced it to a pile of debris. Together with it, it turned into fragments. And the five stones behind it.
They were only a few dozen meters apart, and their diameters were less than a hundred meters. However, the seventh stone behind these six stones … Perhaps it was because it was ten kilometers away, so it wasn't affected much.
Even if something blocked the target, the micro-machine would still counterattack.
But if it didn't destroy the target, what would it do?
Just like that, several hundred seconds passed.
The rock that Lin had attacked was still there, hiding behind the ninety-third rock … The micro-machine did not attack again, which made Lin feel very strange.
Don't miniaturized machines have any weapons that can change direction? Did he stop attacking after missing the first time? This made Lin even feel that the micro-machine's counterattack was an 'automatic defense system'.
It was like when Lin hit it, it would hit back. It was an automatic action.
While thinking, Lin also looked at the tentacle that Lin had broken. Now, the broken part of it didn't continue to grow, but maintained the broken part.
The broken tentacle was the same. It didn't move and didn't continue to grow. It looked a bit like an arrow that had pierced through a rock.
In response to this strange reaction, Lin decided to move on to the next move … …
'Boom!'
Suddenly, Lin saw the flash of an explosion. The attacking rock that was hiding behind the ninety-third rock exploded. It had been … … attacked.
But this attack didn't come from the black fog of the miniature machines, but from another angle, which was why it could hit this spot.
Where did this attack come from? Lin saw it from the perspective of the countless floating rocks.
It came from a rock that was about sixty thousand kilometers away. In fact, this attack was quite inconspicuous … … It didn't have the dazzling flash from before. Before the attack, Lin didn't see any signs of movement from the rock.
Even the object that was launched during the attack was almost invisible. It was a cylindrical object about ten meters in length, and its color was almost invisible in this void environment.
And most detection methods couldn't detect it. This thing had a strong hiding ability. But Lin still saw it. After all, Lin's' eyes' were everywhere here.
The attack didn't seem to be very powerful because Lin's attacking rock was only about sixty meters in size. Originally, it was used to attack because it was small in size and was suitable for hiding behind various large rocks. When it was destroyed, the explosion didn't spread too far.
The rock that attacked Lin was about a kilometer in size. It looked no different from other rocks, and there were many small holes on its surface.
These small holes also looked very natural, and the attack just now was launched from one of these small holes.
Perhaps the micro-machines weren't just gathered in the center of the floating rocks, but also scattered all over this place. However, the micro-machines in the surrounding area weren't as conspicuous as the black fog. They were hidden very deeply.
Lin had thought about this before, so Lin also felt that blowing up the black fog wouldn't completely destroy all the micro-machines.
If they were hiding in the surrounding floating rocks, how many of them were there? Lin had checked some of the rocks before, but she didn't find anything unusual.
However, Lin didn't check all the rocks, so it was natural that some of the places where the micro-machines were hiding weren't discovered.
What Lin was more concerned about was, why were they so conspicuous in the central area, but so deeply hidden in other places? Did they do this specifically to ambush Lin?
Lin didn't think that was possible, there must be another reason …
"Is there any new information?" Lin asked the mayor while thinking.
Right now, the mayor's brain was still undergoing 'treatment'. There was a small guardian clearing away the fear energy for him.
However, the purpose of this treatment was different from before, because Lin noticed that during the process of the guardian removing the fear energy, the information in the mayor's mind would change.
It seemed that because of the removal of this' stimulus', new information about the micro-machines would appear in the mayor's mind.
"There's nothing new …" the mayor said. "But they seem to be constantly updating their ideas, it's hard to describe …"
Before the mayor could finish, Lin went into the mayor's dream to take a look.
"What are you doing here! I still haven't finished protecting this place! "
As soon as she went in, Lin saw a small ball of light flying back and forth in front of her eyes. Lin ignored it and flew behind it.
"Ah! Don't go there! I still haven't finished protecting that place! "
When she flew to the area behind the guardian that was still filled with fear energy, Lin sensed something … indeed, it seemed like the micro-machines were updating their ideas there.
The main content was more or less like this:
'Plan 1: Don't agree, removed'
'Plan 2: Relatively good, but not perfect, removed'
"Plan 3: That's great, but the implementation period must be delayed and not removed."
That was pretty much it, but the content of the plan wasn't shown here.
But the micro-machines were definitely planning something. Then, Lin woke up.
"Continue to pay attention to their information"
After telling the mayor that, Lin turned her attention to the one-kilometer-long rock in the void. Lin hadn't done anything to it yet.
This rock was obviously the micro-machines' base, but its hiding here made Lin think of a lot of things.
Then, let's test out one of my ideas first.
With that thought in mind, Lin activated another attack rock.
This attack rock was about ten thousand kilometers away from the micro-machines' base rock, which was a relatively close distance. Lin let the attack rock aim at it, and then a spherical object flew out from the surface of the attack rock.
This spherical object was one of the things that Lin made with a strong hiding ability.
When it was about one kilometer away from the target, this spherical object would send out a large number of … signals.
This signal could spread to a very far range, and could …
'Boom!'
Suddenly, the sphere exploded. The attack came from the base rock, and it seemed like the micro-machines were very concerned about this kind of signal.
But it was useless for it to explode the sphere, because the signal had already been sent out.
And these signals could be received by another kind of creature, and that was …
Sure enough, it was just as Lin thought. Lin noticed a very large object appearing in the void from a distance.
It looked like a very soft object, but its body was more than seven hundred meters in diameter, and it was quickly floating towards the micro-machines' base rock.
This was just as Lin thought … the reason why the micro-machines had to be hidden outside was because the gel creatures would attack them.
When Lin relayed their location, the gelatinous creatures would come to destroy them. (To be continued.)
