"… I think … I'm not dead?"
This was a … space.
It was a dark space, and a large number of creatures were gathered here.
They could not see each other, but they could know the location of their companions through the communication device in their armor.
But compared to their companions, the creatures here were more concerned about the fact that they were still alive.
Earlier, they had gone through a terrifying experience.
They were trapped in a transparent hemispherical building. The ground was constantly trembling, and the storm outside continued to reverberate. Finally, the cracks on the ground came into contact with the building, causing it to fall into a seemingly bottomless darkness.
During the fall, the creatures' armor was activated again because the command to stop lasted for a while.
But they did not have the time to bother the Scholar. Instead, they began to scream or lie down in fear, waiting for the moment when the building hit the ground.
But that moment did not come. They did not know how long the fall lasted. Suddenly, the creatures here realized that they were in a dark space.
Moreover, their surroundings seemed to be different.
In this darkness, the creatures did not act rashly. They were all very quiet, and they had not recovered from the horror of watching the world collapse.
Among these creatures, only the creature called the Scholar was active.
"We've really come to a strange place!" The Scholar was using its communication device to talk to Rin, whom it thought was Susumi. "The ground here seems to be made of some kind of metal … Oh, you seem to be very close to me …"
"I'm heading to your location." As Rin spoke to the Scholar, the mini Susumi had already walked to the Scholar's feet. She then climbed up its body and climbed onto the Scholar's head.
"Why are you so small?" The Scholar could detect the surroundings in the dark, so it could clearly see Susumi's size.
"It's more convenient to be small." Rin told the Scholar that the mechanical body's brain was actually the mini body's main control part.
"Is that so?" The Scholar said. "I didn't know about this. What should we do now? I think … "
Lin said: "Let's wait here and see what happens"
"Wait? That works … "The Scholar seemed to have other ideas, but it agreed with the idea of waiting." It's better not to act rashly, because this place … "
Dong!
Before it could finish its sentence, Ye Zichen's expression changed. The entire area suddenly lit up.
"What is this? So bright! " All the creatures were greatly frightened at this moment. Many of them screamed, but most of them remained silent. They looked around in horror.
This place was much smaller than the previous building. It had a diameter of about 15 meters. The ground and walls looked pure white and seemed to be made of metal.
The space was three meters tall, and there were more than ten creatures gathered there. Not all the creatures in the building were there. It was only a small portion.
And they were all about the same size as the Scholar.
This was an enclosed space, the light source came from a few glowing objects on the ceiling. While observing these things, Lin also tried to detect the location of this place.
This place … was indeed a place far away from the connected world.
However, he didn't know the exact distance. Even if he used continuous teleportation, it would still take some time to arrive.
Regardless of whether it was the Star Bus or the Void Bus, the teleportation distance was limited.
To be precise, it was mainly due to the limited range of their perception. In other words, the controllable teleportation range was limited.
Lin had been studying teleportation for a long time, but now she paid attention to this place. This seemed to be a space created by some kind of creature. What kind of creature was it? Was it related to micro-machines?
At the same time. There was air here, and it felt like it was brought over from the other world. At the same time, there was a relatively small gravitational force that made the creatures here stick to the ground.
Crack!
With that in mind, Lin suddenly noticed a crack on the ceiling. A faint noise could be heard, and all the creatures on the scene turned to look at the crack.
The crack suddenly opened up, and an object that looked like a sharp tentacle stretched out from it and instantly pierced the head of the nearest creature. It seemed to have pierced through its armor and internal head.
"Ah!!!"
Suddenly. It let out a series of violent screams, and the surrounding creatures were scared into hiding. The spiky tentacle quickly retracted, leaving the pierced creature on the ground. Blood mixed with many colors slowly flowed out of the pierced hole …
Just now, it seemed like a creature, but Lin felt that it was not a cellular creature.
"There's a very dangerous creature here …" The Scholar said, "But it probably won't eat us …"
"It's not for food," Lin said, "it has another purpose."
"How do you know?" The Scholar asked as she walked forward. She walked to the corpse that the other creatures were avoiding and said, "I have to examine it to know …"
"Creature confirmed."
At this time, a voice sounded in the room. It was using the 'common language' that these creatures used. Then, another thing came out from the crack where the tentacle came from.
This thing also looked like a tentacle. However, the head was not pointed, but round.
"Now, notify the creatures here."
The voice came from the tentacle's round head. According to Lin's guess, it should have pierced through the creature just now, so it understood that the creatures here used sound to communicate, language, and so on.
"Creatures who come here and want to live, must submit all the information you have. Starting now."
The moment it finished speaking, the round-headed tentacle instantly lunged at the creature next to it. The tentacle suddenly opened like a flower and wrapped around the creature's head.
"Ah!"
The creature screamed and struggled with all its might, but it could not break free from the tentacle.
"Living being, describe everything you know, your information, the information of your civilization, and the technology you know."
After the tentacle said a lot, the creature did not answer. Instead, it kept struggling.
"Creature, unable to give an accurate answer within the time limit is defined as waste and needs to be eliminated."
After that, the tentacle grabbed the creature and pulled it back into the crack it came out from.
After a while, the tentacle came out again. This time, the tentacle was covered in the creature's … blood.
Seeing this, the creatures here seemed to understand what was going on … and they were even more terrified.
"Continue the examination."
After that, the tentacle grabbed the creature closest to it. Right as it was about to be grabbed, the creature used its head to slam against the tentacle and ran towards the corner of the room.
However, the tentacle was not affected at all. It still reached forward and wrapped around the creature's head.
"Describe everything you know, the information of your civilization …"
The tentacle asked the creature a series of questions from before. The creature appeared to be quite terrified, but unlike the previous creature that only knew how to struggle, it immediately answered.
"We … we call ourselves … the Guru civilization, I … what exactly do you want to know?"
"The level of technology of your civilization, the main items you use, weapons, and so on." the tentacle said. "Answer quickly."
Listening to them, Lin felt a bit strange. The tentacle should have been trying to obtain information by piercing the creature, so why was it asking questions now?
"I … the weapon I usually use is a weapon called 'Explosive Scars' … but I don't have it with me right now …" the creature continued to answer the tentacle's questions, but it did not seem to be giving a comprehensive answer.
"The details of its structure. What method of attack does it use?" the tentacle asked.
"The main method of attack is to shoot high-speed small explosive shells, the firing speed is …" the creature paused, as if it had forgotten something.
"How do you shoot the small explosive shells? What about the internal structure of the explosive shells? What about the internal structure of the weapon? "the tentacle asked again.
The creature replied. "I'm not too sure … I only use weapons, I've never made any … I'm a soldier, not an engineer."
"Detected unsatisfactory answer, target is defined as trash."
"Ah!"
Following a series of screams, the creature was dragged back into the gap by the tentacle.
Then, the tentacle crawled out like before, but this time, its body was stained with even more blood.
"Next, continue to search for the target." The tentacle then looked at the surrounding creatures, which once again caused great fear to the creatures.
"What are you trying to do! What the hell are you! "
At this time, a few of the creatures appeared to be extremely angry. They stood out and shouted at the tentacle. "Why are you asking us these questions! Why did you bring us here, we don't have anything on us! "
"Received a question … response. Able to answer." the tentacle replied. "You can call us' Captors'."
Lin felt like the tentacle's way of speaking was similar to the micro-machines, but she couldn't confirm if they were related to the micro-machines.
One of the creatures spoke. "It's meaningless for you to capture us! Let us go! "
