"Gulu … Gugu …"
Connected World, Ground Mirror Plains near the Void Dwellers …
On the ground full of potholes, a small figure was moving slowly. On the surrounding ground, countless microorganisms crawled by its feet, but the figure did not care. Instead, it was focused on its own matters.
What was it doing?
A certain microorganism on the ground was carefully observing it.
This microorganism was one of Lin's units. There was no need for any special disguise here because there were many other creatures around that could act as Lin's cover.
And the creature Lin was observing was … a gnome, a gnome created by machines.
It was the fake gnome that the micro-machines used to sneak into the camp. Although the fake hero jumped into the camp and was killed, this gnome did not follow them in. Instead, it wandered outside.
The machines outside could not sense any fear energy, so it took Lin a little bit of time to find it.
About 300 seconds.
Lin found it wandering around a few kilometers away from the camp … It didn't do anything but walk back and forth, occasionally making some strange noises.
Lin thought it would continue to plan an attack on the Void Dwellers' camp, but it did nothing. This made Lin feel … disappointed.
Therefore, Lin continued to observe it while carrying out her next plan. This plan was originally going to be carried out, which was to dig all the way down to where the Stellar Bus's organs were located. All she needed to do was to monitor those organs.
Because the micro-machines' target was definitely the Star Bus's organs, no matter what they were doing outside, they would reach there sooner or later.
So, Lin prepared to dig here.
If she went underground, she would encounter more creatures. Some of the creatures in the Connected World were very … powerful. If she wanted to go in, Lin felt that she should pay attention to them.
If the micro-machines had already entered the ground, they might start a war with the creatures underground.
However, just as Lin was about to dig deeper, she noticed something strange in this place …
The surface of the Ground Mirror Plains was covered with a lot of dust. This was usually impossible because they paid attention to cleaning the surface of the mirror.
Moreover, Lin found that the surface of the mirror would not become hot when she walked on it. Clearly, there was something wrong with the mirror … So, Lin had the micro-machines enter the underground Ground Mirror City.
Currently, they were observing the activity of the Earth Mirror all over the city.
In reality, Lin had never directly observed these creatures before. She had only read the Scholar's report about them. The Earth Mirror's current behavior was as described in the report, very normal.
They used meat to feed microbes, and then used these microbes to decompose rocks to obtain the materials they needed. Although they were not cellular creatures, they relied on cellular creatures to survive.
The only abnormal thing was that they no longer got their meat through the mirror on the surface.
Lin noticed that they raised many creatures in one area as a source of meat. She did not see this in the previous report, or perhaps the Scholars did not come to this area.
However, these creatures were in short supply, and the meat they provided was not enough to sustain the Earth Mirror.
Therefore, Earth Mirror was currently using its own food reserves to breed microbes.
These reserves would slowly be depleted, but they had stopped using the mirrors to capture things. This abnormal behavior made Lin feel very strange.
So … Lin wanted to see what exactly happened to them.
What Lin used to observe here were also 'pseudo-stones', but these pseudo-stones were a little different. Compared to the previous ones, this one had more attacking power.
Right now, there was an imitation stone in one of the pipes of the Earth Mirror.
There were many such pipes in the Earth Mirror. This pipe was thirty centimeters in diameter, which was relatively large for a one-centimeter Earth Mirror. The imitation stone was currently stuck to the top of the pipe, looking down at a Earth Mirror that was slowly moving past it …
When it was about to reach the imitation stone, the imitation stone suddenly jumped down and instantly spread its body to completely envelop the Earth Mirror.
At the same time, it trapped the imitation stone. Lin checked the Earth Mirror's situation.
The Earth Mirror's living system was somewhat similar to a multicellular creature. It was mainly a combination of liquid and internal organs, but there were no cells in it.
There was nothing abnormal in the Earth Mirror … This Earth Mirror was just an ordinary worker.
The Scholar and the Cryopteris had been studying the 'language' used by creatures like the Earth Mirror. In other words, they used light to transmit information, so after reading their report. Lin also knew the Earth Mirror's language, so she only needed to ask a few questions to find out what was going on.
This Earth Mirror indicated that it had been working here for a long time. It had only recently received the order to stop using the mirror pits on the ground to capture prey, and it did not know what was going on. It could only follow the order.
Then, the next thing to do was to find the Earth Mirror that gave the order to this Earth Mirror.
They had a ruler like a 'king', and the location of this ruler was …
Coincidentally, it was being watched by another imitation stone.
The king lived in a relatively large building. This building stood in the middle of the Earth Mirror's city. From the outside, it looked like a very large … conch shell.
It was more than a meter tall. The Scholar's report did not mention anything like this, so Lin wondered how many places they had been to.
However, the fact that they could understand the language meant that they had explored it enough, even though it took them a long time to understand it.
The building was heavily guarded. There were many soldiers patrolling the Earth Mirrors outside the entrance. They looked like ordinary Earth Mirrors, but the tip of their heads was slightly different. That was because they were equipped with weapons.
Lin's imitation stone was floating above this building. Lin did not need to go in yet, because she had already received some information from outside.
The top of the building was shining with light. This light was also the Earth Mirror's language. It was something similar to an announcement.
"Now, we're about to finish our preparations. We'll stop all external acquisition and use all energy to create more weapons. Then, we'll head down and obtain endless resources there. Now, all citizens must be prepared, because we're about to fully participate in the battle."
That was basically the message in the announcement. It sounded like they were preparing to attack other places.
So, they were using all their energy to prepare for battle, so they did not use the mirrors on the ground?
