"There seems to be something … here. Bang. "
Lin had the octopus stick its tentacles to the wall and carefully sense the … sound here.
There was a tremor here just now, but it was not caused by an explosion.
Instead, it was the feeling of something moving.
Sticking to the wall, Lin could detect that the thing was moving quickly in the tunnel and getting further and further away from here.
But this machine's detection ability was not as strong as Lin originally set it to be. Soon, the thing ran out of the tunnel and could no longer be felt.
Lin thought it was something over five meters in size, but she was not sure if it was a living thing … or a machine.
It might be the thing that caused the crack on the tunnel wall …
While thinking, Lin continued to move forward. The octopus machine moved slowly among the floating debris. Lin used the 'eyes' around the machine's head to carefully observe the various floating objects around.
Lin was more concerned about the … corpses.
There were many corpses here, and they all seemed to have died in the same way. Before they died, they all took off their helmets or other parts of their armor and died from suffocation.
They floated here and there. Lin saw that some of the creatures were still in the same position as before they died. It stretched out its limbs as if it was trying to grab something.
Lin thought it might be trying to open the entrance to a room, but because it had moved around, it did not know which room was its room.
Lin also wanted to go into the rooms of other creatures to see if there was anything strange. Lin thought that this creature's room should be nearby.
Lin reached out with her tentacles and caught a creature that was over a meter tall that floated in front of her. This creature's death was a bit strange, because while other creatures would only remove a portion of their armor, this creature had removed all of its armor.
It was a 'horseshoe crab' creature with many limbs, and some of the limbs were used for grasping. It had a structure similar to a hand, and this hand was quite … sharp, like a claw.
Lin noticed that there was a small piece of metal at the tip of this creature's claw. It was grabbed from the wall.
And the wall it grabbed was here.
Lin looked to the right and saw a mark on the wall that was very similar to this piece of metal.
This creature did not have the ability to grab the metal wall here, but the wall had become brittle for many reasons, so … before it died, it grabbed the wall and grabbed a piece of metal.
Why did it grab this wall?
Lin thought. Lin touched the creature's hand to the wall it had scratched, but the wall … did not react.
As expected, Lin looked around and saw a gauntlet on the ground not too far away. It was this creature's gauntlet.
Lin took the glove and put it on the creature's hand, then used its hand to touch the wall.
The moment he touched the wall, the wall responded. After a burst of light, an image appeared on the damaged wall.
Through this image. He could see the environment inside the room.
It was as if the image in the room had nothing to do with the damage to the wall.
In other words, it wasn't displaying the images through the walls, but … Lin felt that it might have directly transmitted the images.
There were many things scattered around the room, such as armor sets, food, and some weapons … Although the captors forbade them from attacking, it did not seem to forbid them from making weapons. Many creatures had made some weapons. Even if they could not use them, they could provide some … sense of security.
The creature must have entered the room, rummaged through it, and then left the room. Then, it encountered some unknown situation outside the room. It took off its armor and died because the air here was not suitable for it.
But before it died, the thought of survival flashed through its mind. It wanted to touch the wall to open the door and return to the room.
But it forgot that it did not have the gauntlet, so it could not open the door.
The 'key' to the room was the shape of the armor worn by the creature. Lin believed that it would record any armor made in the room, but it would not recognize armor made outside the room.
At the same time, it would not recognize creatures that took off their armor …
Lin brought the creature's body into the room and put it aside. Then, she began to inspect the room.
This room … was much smaller than the Scholar's room. It was only one-third the size.
Perhaps it was because the creature was only one-third the size of the Scholar, so the room was so small. As for the furniture, they were all suitable for the creature's body structure.
The video screen here was also like the one in the Scholar's room. It kept repeating the message that it was forbidden to go out.
The creature that looked like a horseshoe crab thought that it would wait too long and wanted to go out to have a look. But why did it want to take off its armor?
Lin rummaged through the room. She found that most of the armor crafting devices were stuffed into the wall … and this device had been used before.
Although Lin did not find the disc-shaped device that the creature used to look at maps and other information, she found the control device for the armor crafting device.
Lin could open the control device and inspect its contents. From the records, Lin found that the creature had pieced together its armor before.
About … 3,000 seconds ago.
After modifying its armor, it left. Lin did not think there was anything wrong with the modification. It just added a weapon slot.
Lin Sanjiu still did not know why it took off its armor.
'Dong …'
Lin heard the sound and looked in the direction of the entrance. The entrance was still emitting waves of white light.
This was a strange place. After Lin came in … the 'portal' at the entrance did not close. Instead, it remained open.
In addition, the design of the entrance was also very strange. The situation inside the room could be seen from the corridor outside, but the situation outside the room could not be seen from the corridor outside.
The sound just now came from the entrance. It seemed that something was approaching.
Lin turned off the control device and put it aside. Then, she crawled under the wall and climbed up to the roof. She stuck to the roof.
Lin's octopus robot hung upside down on the roof and looked at the entrance. The reason it did this was because Lin felt that something was coming in.
"Ah …"
Just as Lin was thinking, something came in through the light of the entrance.
At first, it was just a very sharp object. As it slowly went in, the creature behind the sharp object was revealed.
This creature … was the one she had seen before.
Its body was like a bloated ball. It was one and a half meters in diameter. Its head was almost completely stuffed into the bloated body. Only the protruding mouth could be seen.
Lin felt that it was somewhat similar to a skeletal dragon. However, this skeletal dragon's body was now bloated. Its limbs and head were almost all retracted into the bloated body. It was more or less like this.
What was special was that it had a very long spike on its back. It seemed to be an extension of its spine. It protruded from the head out of the body and was about one meter long.
This thing used its short hind legs that could barely reach the ground to propel its body. It crawled slowly on the ground. Lin did not think that this creature was a threat. Even so, she continued to stick to the roof to observe it.
After all, this was a mechanical octopus created by Lin. It was not one of the various units that Lin usually used. If it was damaged, it would be very troublesome to repair.
Moreover, if it 'died', it would not be easy to find this place again.
Lin did not know the coordinates of this place. Perhaps because it was too far away, she could not use simple methods to detect it. So, she could only use limited methods to explore this place.
This creature was having a hard time moving forward.
Lin had been observing it for about 30 seconds. It had only moved about one meter forward.
Now, it did not move forward. Instead, it was panting.
It seemed to have lungs, which was why it was panting. The main reason was that its short limbs made it difficult to move forward.
It should have been easy to move forward outside. Because there was no gravity, it only needed to push off the wall to fly a long distance.
But in a place with gravity, it could barely move.
Lin felt that it was not the creator of the cracks on the wall outside. Although the spike on its back was sharp, it could not scratch objects like a claw.
With that in mind, Lin fell from the roof.
"Gugugu!"
The mechanical octopus stretched out all its tentacles and caught the creature.
It immediately struggled. The short limbs around its swollen body kept swinging, but it could not move at all.
Lin raised a tentacle. The end of this tentacle opened up, and more small tentacles stretched out. These small tentacles pierced into its skin and examined its internal structure.
The reason it was swollen … was because its body was filled with a kind of gas. This gas made it expand rapidly, making it difficult to move.
It was originally a normal creature that lived here, but its body seemed to have undergone some kind of … mutation, turning it into this …
"Bang!"
While Lin was examining, a loud noise came from the entrance. An object suddenly reached in through the entrance.
Lin immediately had the octopus let go of the swollen creature and jump back. The object directly grabbed the swollen creature and pulled it over, disappearing into the light of the entrance.
What was that?
When Lin saw it just now, she felt that it was an object covered in mucus. It might be a part of a large creature, and this creature should be very mobile. (To be continued.)
