"Hurry up and move." "Don't move slowly, move quickly. Do you want to die or move, choose quickly. "
This place was within the ruins of the void.
Lin's mechanical spider was together with a group of xenogeneic creatures and had been floating with them for … over 3000 seconds.
From the very beginning, they had been following behind the mechanical spiders. Furthermore, they had been chasing the mechanical spiders towards one place. That place was … the place where the silver threads grew.
Those silver threads were most likely the silver threads that made Atlan 'emotionless', but she couldn't be sure, only the images she saw were the same.
These xenogeneics wanted the mechanical spider to obtain the silver threads, but they didn't want to tell her why they didn't do it themselves, so they kept using the ball-shaped weapon to aim at the mechanical spider and force it to move forward.
However, they kept a distance of 10 meters away from the mechanical spider, never willing to get close. Lin thought that the silver threads might have some kind of effect on these xenogeneics …
And so, Lin pretended to be forced to slowly move forward, but in truth, she was preparing for something else.
"What's wrong with you? Don't stop. Otherwise, we'll blow you up. If we blow you up, there'll be nothing left. "
The mechanical spider suddenly stopped, causing the xenogeneics behind her to question her. Lin didn't say anything and simply stood there without moving.
"It's not responding. If you don't move, you'll die. I'll really kill you. You should remember very well how your companion died. It just popped off like that. "
They moved over and used all sorts of language to threaten the mechanical spider, but none of them actually attacked.
"Why isn't it responding? Are you trying to trick us? Are you trying to trick us? Hurry up and move! "
Lin noticed that these xenogeneics appeared to be … anxious, and they were getting closer and closer to the mechanical spider. At that moment, Lin's mechanical spider suddenly moved and pounced on the nearest xenogeneic.
This xenogeneic was less than one meter away from the mechanical spider, so it was caught in an instant. The mechanical spider then pierced a sharp spike into its body.
After the initial examination, Lin had already understood and calculated their general body structure. So she knew … where the xenogeneic's brain was located.
This time, the spike pierced into the xenogeneic's brain and quickly extracted a large amount of matter from it. It was only after Lin sent the brain matter into the mechanical spider's body that the other xenogeneics finally reacted. The small ball floating around them shot out rays of light at the mechanical spiders.
In the blink of an eye, the mechanical spider was blown to pieces by the light.
However, the power of the explosion was controlled very well … It just so happened that it didn't hit the strange creature that the mechanical spider was hugging. However, it also … didn't blow up a small thing.
In the light of the explosion, a square-shaped object flew out at high speed. This object was the 'core' of the mechanical spider. It contained the main control system, as well as … the brain matter that had just been extracted.
The cube flew off into the distance, but the xenogeneics didn't seem to care about the cube. They were all focused on their captured companions.
As they got further and further away, Lin began to slow the block down. Eventually, it came to a stop and landed on a floating piece of metal.
On this piece of metal, there was a one-meter-long mechanical spider that was in charge of providing support. It put the cube back into its body and then carried out the test inside.
This brain matter also contained a lot of information. The xenogeneics also had multi-cellular brains, just like those … meatballs.
Their brains were in a warm environment deep inside their bodies and were not disturbed by the outside environment. So, when the cube stored the brain matter, it also had to maintain its temperature. If Lin had flown a little longer, the brain matter might have … spoiled.
And there was some information about the xenogeneics in the brain matter, although it wasn't complete. After all, Lin didn't have enough time to extract the entire brain matter.
After the preliminary test, Lin believed that the xenogeneics were a group of … a group of 'individualized individuals' under the sub-type of creatures.
Just like … Li Scorpio, they didn't share the same thought as others of their kind. Although they were of the same species, they were independent from the group.
There were also such individuals among the gelatinous creatures on the floating rocky ground.
At the same time, Lin also found that these creatures were very good at 'mental interference', and they were especially good at targeting Atlans … The xenogeneics would release a special pheromone. This pheromone would be inhaled by the Atlans and affect their nerves.
As long as the Atlans wore armor, they would be fine. However, most of the Atlans in Void City didn't wear armor. The affected Atlans would become like what the former leader described. When facing their own kind, they would easily show emotions like anger, but when facing the xenogeneics, they would show happy and comfortable emotions.
These were two extremes, but for the pheromone to work, it also required the Atlans to have a part of their brain that dealt with emotions.
So, if the Atlans didn't have emotions, the pheromone was completely useless. At the same time, the pheromone was too targeted, so it didn't work on other creatures. For example, the bug-like creatures that Lin saw in the captor's place wouldn't be affected by the pheromone.
These pheromones seemed to be created by the xenogeneics specifically to target the Atlans.
From the xenogeneics' brains, Lin found out that the reason why the xenogeneics approached the Atlans was to trade with them.
However, after a long period of contact, the xenogeneics started to think of all kinds of ways to gain more benefits from the trade, so they used the pheromone.
Under the influence of the pheromone, the xenogeneics could use less to exchange for more items, and the Atlans would be willing to trade because they were happy and didn't care.
In the end, the xenogeneics weren't even satisfied with the trade and started to try to control the entire group of Atlans.
The xenogeneic that Lin extracted the brain from didn't experience this, but it knew about this part of history.
Although the xenogeneics still maintained the trade with the Atlans, because the Atlans didn't have emotions and only cared about benefits, each of them had become quite smart. So, the xenogeneics couldn't gain any benefits from the trade.
However, the xenogeneics still didn't give up on the Atlans. They still wanted to control the Atlans, so they planned to start their research on the silver threads.
However, if they came into contact with the silver threads, it might cause great harm to the xenogeneics. So, they looked for other creatures, such as mechanical spiders, to obtain the silver threads.
