This place was like the deep sea, dark, cold and filled with many strange and huge creatures.
At present, Lin's mechanical spider was inside a cave on the ground.
At the entrance of this cave, the mechanical spider looked at the outside environment and at the same time repaired its body.
Lin had already spent ten days and nights here, and in this period of time, she had only advanced a distance of three kilometers.
Here, she was constantly in a state of halting and moving. Every time the mechanical spider moved, it would have to wait for the Lightchasers to appear.
When they did not appear, they would have to hide somewhere and not move at all. Otherwise, they would easily be attacked by various creatures.
Even so, the mechanical spider still suffered a lot of attacks. Originally, there were three of them, but now there was only one left. This one had also suffered a lot of damage during its escape earlier, and a large part of its abdomen was missing.
This was rather interesting.
It felt like a weak creature struggling to survive in a huge environment. However, if this spider were to die, they would have to think of a way to send more troops here.
Rather than that, Lin felt that it would be better to let it think of a way to create more troops here. That said, they had encountered a lot of problems. The most recent problem was that the Lightchasers were no longer appearing.
Lin did not know where the Lightchasers were usually active. She only knew that when a missile was shot down from above, the Lightchasers would come out to collect the high-temperature materials from the explosion before quickly disappearing.
The only time the surface of the gravitational sphere would light up was when a missile exploded. That was also the only time the Lightchasers would appear.
Because the mechanical spider could not catch up to them, it could not keep following them. Therefore, when there were no more missiles, the Lightchasers would no longer be seen.
Lin had thought of some ways to track the Lightchasers, such as attaching a 'communication device' to their bodies. However, that did not work.
Until now. It had been some time since a missile was shot down, so the mechanical spider was now in a state where it could not move.
Looking outside, Lin could see some large objects flying through the wreckage in the sky. Those objects appeared to be the 'submarines' of the Voidfolk. They were the ones who had chased the mechanical spider here.
Just like real submarines, they would shoot something out from the sides of their heads to attack.
After being chased, Lin hid in this position, and they seemed to have stopped pursuing her. Lin was also in this position. He found some useful items.
The cave was about three meters deep, and the width was just enough to accommodate a mechanical spider. It felt like it was dug out by a creature of similar size.
However, Lin didn't find any living creatures here, and the mechanical spiders could also hide here, but the main thing was that Lin found a lot of materials here.
After examining the walls of the cave, Lin discovered that there were a lot of mixed materials here, and these materials could be used to construct something.
For example, a new troop class.
Although most of the mechanical spiders had been damaged, there were still enough tools and energy left in their bodies, so Lin decided to stay here for the time being and create enough troops.
Thinking. Lin ordered the mechanical spider to start digging on the spot. First, it dug out something to block the hole.
The ground here was a mixture of various materials, so it wasn't hard at all. Instead, it was like mud that was easier to dig, so Lin could easily change the shape of the cave.
After blocking the hole, the mechanical spider began to shape all kinds of things inside.
It felt as if a spider was really living here.
Lin first created some small worm-like machines. These machines were about ten centimeters long and had very simple structures. They were responsible for digging holes and collecting more items.
Just like that, Lin continued to create these small worm-like machines. She also had them dig out more and more space in the cave.
This place was quite safe. During this process, Lin didn't get attacked by any living creatures. However, this wasn't just about luck. It was also about the map.
Through the translated map, Lin understood the situation of this place. The map also showed the distribution of living creatures. Although there were a lot of dangerous creatures floating in the air, there were very few of them underground.
Lin's current location was like that. Living underground in this place. The chances of encountering danger were very low.
Slowly, Lin's worm-like machines dug out a large space underground. Lin planned to construct a factory in this space.
Because there were materials all around, it was very easy to assemble. The factory was about three meters in size, it was completely used to create more troops. Lin placed it in the center of the cave and had it continuously create more troops, including some new mechanical spiders.
While doing all this, Lin would occasionally observe the environment outside the cave. The surface of the cave was always shrouded in darkness, as if the mysterious missiles had stopped raining down on it. Lin could only observe the surface of this world through the faint light she emitted.
Lin believed that those missiles were fired by a creature that the xenogeneics knew.
According to recent research, Lin found that the xenogeneics had been communicating with the surface of the gravitational sphere. First, the xenogeneics wrapped the mushrooms around their brains in 'pieces of meat' and used them as' letters', then threw them at the gravitational sphere.
Before the letters reached the gravitational sphere, they would be received by a creature. That creature would then react by shooting missiles at the gravitational sphere.
When the missiles reached the surface of the gravitational sphere, the Lightchasers would discover them. The Lightchasers would then obtain a signal from the missiles, then use the mushrooms as a message to the xenogeneics.
Lin believed that was the general situation.
But Lin found it strange that the Lightchasers didn't use any method to shoot the mushrooms. When Lin's mechanical spiders saw them, they would always give the mushrooms to the mechanical spiders. Did they mistake the mechanical spiders for xenogeneics?
Also, why did the Lightchasers give a map to the mushrooms? If that was what they were replying to the xenogeneics, why would they give them a map?
Could it be that the xenogeneics wanted to get to the gravitational sphere, so they needed a map?
There were still a lot of uncertainties, and the xenogeneics were very good at hiding this information. Every once in a while, they would throw away their memories. They used a very violent method, and that was to throw away the memory cells.
Their brains could grow new memory cells without any memories, but it didn't matter even if they didn't have any memories. The xenogeneics' 'instincts' would remind them of what they should do.
The more Lin learned about the xenogeneics, the more she realized that their memory cells seemed to be used for storage and recording purposes.
For example, if an Atlan or a Voidfolk were to become amnesiacs, they would have a lot of trouble and trouble. But for the xenogeneics, losing their memories wouldn't affect their normal lives.
Lin would keep an eye on these creatures.
The xenogeneics didn't keep throwing mushrooms at the gravitational sphere. Lin would have to wait until they started to do so. Only then would she be able to track their mushrooms and find out what the creature that shot the missiles was.
Or perhaps, she could learn more about the Lightchasers from the gravitational sphere.
She just didn't know if she would be able to do that.
At present, Lin's army wasn't too big. She already had five brand new mechanical spiders, a large group of worm machines, and a construction factory.
But Lin needed more troops to form a powerful army.
Lin was also a little hesitant about expanding the cave.
Lin felt that if they expanded too much, they might be discovered by some nearby creatures. Lin had already checked this place many times and found that there were actually quite a few creatures moving around in the surrounding underground. These creatures usually only moved within a relatively small area, but as the cave expanded, Lin believed that they might have discovered this place, and several of them began to approach this place.
When Lin stopped expanding the cave, it also stopped approaching. Lin believed that it had something to do with Lin digging here.
If she dug too much, it might affect its territory or something. So, Lin planned to leave the cave and go to the surface.
Although it seemed more dangerous, that wasn't the case.
Lin only knew what the creatures underground looked like, but she didn't know what abilities they had.
As for the creatures on the surface, she had more or less understood them after observing them here, so Lin felt that she could deal with them.
More importantly, she still needed more space to place more troops.
With that thought in mind, Lin began to move. The five mechanical spiders crawled to the entrance of the cave, and behind them, the construction factory that had been expanded to over six meters in size and was shaped like a square began to move as well.
The mechanical spiders dug through the material blocking the entrance of the cave, and the moment they stepped on the ground, a shadow appeared in the air.
It was a 'submarine'.
It was over ten meters long, and its outer shell looked like it was made of stone. It used its jet ability to fly, and it seemed to have noticed the mechanical spiders the moment they stepped on the ground. Then, it rushed over.
There were two holes on both sides of the submarine's head, and as it flew closer, two white objects shot out from the holes and headed straight for the mechanical spiders.
This object wasn't a missile. Lin called it a 'Mad Bite' because it looked like the teeth of a shark, and it also functioned like real teeth. It was capable of vibrating at high speeds and shattering everything it came into contact with, including the materials that Lin used to construct various machines.
