"I got quite a lot of them this time."
This creature looked like … a bug. In fact, it was the same species as the one that led Lin and the Scholar here.
But it wasn't the same one.
Lin saw it taking out a small canister and collecting the bits and pieces of the swollen creatures that were floating around and putting them all into the canister.
It seemed to be hunting these things? When it was almost done collecting, it put away the innards on the ground and turned around to leave.
"What … is this?" But just as it was about to turn around, it looked at Lin and noticed her mechanical octopus.
Because there were a lot of debris floating around Lin's side, it didn't notice it at first, but now that the light from its armor was projected over here, it became nervous. It could clearly see that there was something huge behind the floating debris.
And so, it raised the weapon in its hand.
This was the weapon that destroyed the swollen creatures earlier. It could shoot a lot of bullets at once, but it wasn't very powerful. But it was quite interesting to be able to use this thing to hunt in this place.
"Wait a minute."
Lin decided to ask it a few questions first.
"You … can talk?" The creature was surprised to hear Lin's voice, so it asked: "Are you a resident here? Why haven't I seen you before? "
"Because I'm new here." Lin said: "I want to ask you a few questions."
"New here?" The bug seemed to think for a bit before saying: "Speaking of which, a group of new creatures did come here recently, but this happened before they even got to know you … So, what do you want to ask?"
As it spoke, it floated over, but it was still holding its weapon and didn't let down its guard.
"Are you … hunting here?" Lin asked the bug.
"Hunting? Of course. " The bug replied: "Previously, those ball-like things were very tasty, I only found them by chance. I've never seen them before, but after eating them once, I became addicted, and I also found something that attracted them. "
"What is that thing?" Lin's mechanical octopus asked as it pushed away the floating objects around it.
"Whoa!" The bug was shocked to see the mechanical octopus, but it immediately realized that this was very 'rude', so it stopped.
"I found that thing by chance." The bug took out the organ that it had used to lure the swollen monsters and shook it. "It seems to have a strange attraction to them … Just put this thing on the ground for a while. They will come over, but they won't eat it. Instead, they will circle around it. It's very strange, right? "
"Also, it's rare for us to meet here. Now that this place has become like this, I think we should work hard to survive. How about it? Let's form a team together. Face the difficulties in front of you. "
This bug was quite talkative. It seemed like it was a survivor. It hadn't mutated or been crushed to death. It had even successfully hunted here.
However …
"How did you accidentally discover that those things were edible?" Lin continued to ask.
"This … Don't think it's strange. I don't know what's going on either." The bug said, "I just suddenly had this idea. When I first saw them, I thought they were delicious, so I went to hunt them and eat them."
It seemed that this bug had also been affected to a certain extent.
It was just like the Void Bus he had seen before.
The Void Bus was capturing cellular creatures to eat. Probably, like the bug, its mental state had also become abnormal. As for whether or not eating those things would actually do them any good, that was unknown.
But at least it didn't seem to be harmful. Seeing how it was still alive, that was obvious.
"Do you know if there are other creatures here?" Lin asked it. "Other … survivors."
"I saw one here before" the bug said. "I wanted to ask it to join me, but it ran away very quickly and didn't care about me. Right, it was the one who tried to persuade us to oppose the war against the captors. I didn't think too much about it at the time, but I didn't think it would be right after all "
In other words, the Atlan called Rosalie also survived. But what Lin wanted to know more about was …
"Didn't you see anyone doing something here? For example, holding this thing. "
Lin took out a can of information and put it in front of the bug.
"Ah! It was holding this thing just now "the bug said." What is this? "
"Some information about the war" Lin replied.
She also felt a bit surprised. Was this information placed here by the Atlan? Perhaps it knew more about this.
In short. Lin's main goal now was to find out more about the water ball. She should be able to find a lot of clues here. For example, the assassinated Void Bus cub, it … was probably still here.
There was also the Atlan. It was the only Atlan here, and it was also caught here by accident. It seemed to know the importance of Lin's cube, so Lin felt that she had to find it as well.
There were still many questions here. Lin felt that this mechanical octopus alone wouldn't be able to find them, so she needed to mobilize more troops from afar.
But that might take a very long time.
That was why Lin also had the idea of using the mechanical octopus to create an army here.
A unit that uses a non-cellular structure can be tested …
"What's wrong with you?" the bug asked. "Why aren't you moving? Do you want to find it? I know where it lives "
"You know?" Lin asked.
"Yes, but I don't know why you're looking for it … it's in this place" Saying so, the bug opened a map. This map was different from the Scholar's, showing the situation of many areas. It then pointed to a location on the map for Lin.
"It might know a lot about the war" Lin said. "So, we should find it"
"The war …" the bug said. "I think it's already over. This place has already become like this, what else can happen? Isn't all of this enough? Why does it still bring me fear! I don't want this! No! "
After saying that, it immediately turned around and flew away as fast as it could with the armor's thrusters.
…
It was as if it had suddenly developed a neurological abnormality. Perhaps it was affected by the water ball. Lin now knew that the water ball could affect the thoughts of living creatures. That was not surprising, but the fact that it could mutate living creatures was quite strange.
