"The mission … has been continuing."
A long, long time ago, there was such a group of creatures.
Their body structure was soft, and their bodies were a mixture of cellular and non-cellular structures … The purpose of these creatures was to help their creator, the Star Bus.
Only the dying Star Bus would create this group of soft creatures. The main purpose of creating soft creatures was … to prevent their bodies from continuing to collapse after their death.
And they could also make some of the soft creatures their own offspring.
These soft creatures would work hard to complete the mission given to them by the Star Bus. After the mission was over, some of the soft creatures would become the Star Bus's … young, and would go to a place to continue growing and living.
These fledglings would inherit some special … mission, because fledglings synthesized from soft creatures were considered 'abnormal'.
Because the Star Bus that created these young would definitely not die a normal death. But the young created from the soft creatures had the ability to avoid this abnormal death.
After the fledglings left, there were still some soft creatures that stayed behind. They had completed all their tasks and could do whatever they wanted.
After the mission was over, these soft creatures might continue to live as a group of normal creatures.
But all of this was … normal.
If the situation was abnormal, then what would happen? For example … if the soft creatures did not succeed in preventing the Star Bus from collapsing, and the collapse still happened, then what would happen?
Now, Lin believed that the … mutants here were such a group of creatures.
The mechanical spider used to check their memory storage had been blown up by them just now. But before it was blown up, Lin used the mechanical spider to see some memories.
The gelatinous creatures in this' ruin 'and the soft creatures connected to the world … had the same nature.
They had the same mission … which was to stop the Star Bus from collapsing. They had this initial memory, and they were just like the soft creatures connected to the world from the beginning. According to the Star Bus' mission, they would break down one organ after another.
But Lin found that the memory was cut off here, and the next memory could be seen later. But it was already a long time later.
It should be said that there was some kind of 'blank' part in the middle of the memory … In short, their mission did not succeed, but failed.
The Star Bus that they wanted to protect finally entered the collapse. But this collapse. It did not seem to be complete.
Because this Star Bus was still before Lin's eyes … it was the 'gravity sphere' that all the wreckage was surrounding.
Why it became like this was still unclear …
And the gelatinous creatures here, their mission was not over. It seemed that the Star Bus gave them a new mission before it collapsed.
One of the missions that Lin knew … 'guidance of the wreckage'.
They had been guiding distant wreckage here, and making that wreckage part of the wreckage.
In the early days, this place could not be called a wasteland. It was mainly because of their continuous guidance that this place slowly became a place where a large amount of wreckage floated. At the same time. The creatures living in the wreckage continued to live there, forming a huge ecological environment.
Lin had a feeling that the Floating Rocky Lands might be in a similar situation … The gelatinous creatures there were the same species as here, but their conditions were different, resulting in their way of life and growth being different.
However, the fact that there was a 'gravity sphere' here was very strange. Although the Floating Rock Land was much bigger than this place, there was nothing similar left behind.
The gelatinous creatures here did not seem to have returned to the gravity sphere. They didn't seem to have returned to the gravitational sphere either. After the collapse happened, they had been living in the void nearby and continued to collect debris. To increase the 'volume' of the wreckage.
Most of their wreckage should have been collected from the vicinity of the water sphere, but some were brought back from places unrelated to the water sphere. Either way, they came from the nearby Void. Lin also believed that they might have something like a teleportation organ that could teleport wreckage from afar, but that would require them to 'locate' the wreckage.
As for the xenogeneics here. They appeared to have been born recently.
Xenogeneics were 'separated' from the gelatinous creatures. They did not have the same mission as the gelatinous creatures, and were mainly responsible for … living.
Lin believed that the xenogeneics might have been born under such circumstances, because it was not easy for the gelatinous creatures to live here.
Lin could see some relevant things in her memories. She did not know how the gelatinous creatures obtained nutrients and grew here in the beginning, but they later relied on the nutrients in the wreckage to survive.
However, as the wreckage expanded, those nutrients were not easy to obtain, mainly because … there were more creatures here, and many of them were very dangerous.
There was also a unique characteristic: the gelatinous creatures did not have much combat ability. They could create some combat units, but those units were not very powerful, mainly because they could not continue to create stronger units.
That appeared to be because of the 'mission'. The mission given to them by Star Bus restricted them from doing many things, and it appeared that the mission could not be changed after the Star Bus's death, and they could only act according to the 'restrictions' in the mission.
Xenogeneics were born to deal with this situation. Xenogeneics didn't seem to need to follow orders because they didn't do things like collecting corpses. Lin discovered that they had always been doing … things related to their daily lives.
For example, collecting food, building more powerful weapons, or building more dwellings. That was what the xenogeneics were mainly responsible for.
The various resources collected by the xenogeneics were not only for their own use, but also for the other gelatinous creatures around them. Although they appeared to have their own consciousness, they were still a group of creatures.
Because of the xenogeneics, their life here was stable, but Lin was curious. If they continued to collect large amounts of wreckage, what would happen in the end?
Would this place become like the Floating Rocky Land, an area with a large number of floating objects? And their mission … how long would it last?
It might never end because this' mission 'was fixed in the depths of their bodies, in an information source similar to a cell nucleus.
It was easier to modify the cell nucleus, but Lin was not too sure how to modify the information source of the gelatinous creatures. Perhaps she knew how to modify it to change their mission.
In short … Lin was almost clear about their situation. Although they had blown up the mechanical spiders, they were still one step too late. That was because the saplings stored in their memory storage had mutated, displaying a large number of memories. Lin understood almost everything from those memories. Simply put, the gelatinous creatures here were a group of creatures that failed to stop the collapse.
The gravity sphere should be a Star Bus after the collapse, so Lin's destination was also there.
Lin wanted to know why this place did not blow up after the collapse, but instead maintained a huge sphere and continued to attract large amounts of wreckage.
There must be a lot of connections between this place and the water sphere.
Lin felt that she could only find the answer by going there. But before that, Lin had something else to do, and that was …
"We're back on the warship now …"
While Lin was thinking, the mechanical octopus in Atlan's Void City received a message.
The message was from Rosalie, saying that their team had set off and returned to the warship of the captors.
At the same time, it also said that its team was the first to arrive. They had disembarked at the 'Stargazing Gallery', which was one of the few places where they could enter the warship without using teleportation.
They were now moving forward quickly, and their main mission was to find valuable items.
Rosalie said that it was likely that many teams would come here soon, and then they would compete with each other. Although it was against the law to kill one's own kind in public, it was not a problem to do so secretly.
So these teams might fight each other for the sake of profit.
Moreover, the Atlan in the team were constantly on guard against each other, because they had a rule that their teammates could obtain all the equipment of their dead teammates.
So … they also had to worry that their teammates would attack them. Rosalie said that this situation was too unbearable. It now felt like it was moving with a group of monsters that had no Atlan characteristics at all.
It thought that it would go crazy if it continued like this, so it tried to ask Lin every once in a while if she had found a way to cure the group of Atlan.
Lin told it that if it was possible, it should first get rid of the group of Atlan and hide in its own room.
As for the group of Atlan, Lin felt that she could continue to observe them, mainly because of the mutation. Lin felt that she could still get more information from them.
Now that the warship was still full of mutated residents, they would definitely come into contact with the Atlan, and something might happen between them. Lin felt that the influence of the water sphere's mutation was still ongoing, and it was possible that the Atlan would also be affected …
While saying this, Lin also moved the troops out of the warship.
Now that Lin had created quite a number of mechanical spider troops, Lin decided to move them into the ruins and let some of them start moving towards the gravity sphere …
