'Structure softening'. That seemed to be the best way to describe the Star Bus's condition. ∈ Xue.
For some reason, some of the Star Bus's organs inside the gravitational sphere began to soften, turning into a jelly-like substance.
Lin had seen this substance before, but she didn't tell the mutants about it. However, the Lightchaser had told the mutants about it.
Many of the organs seemed to have softened. Was there any way to save the mutants?
It didn't seem to be the case. After the mutants discovered this, a special 'mission' appeared in their minds.
Lin left a … probing limb in the brains of several mutants. They didn't seem to have any objections, so she was able to continue examining their memories.
When a mutant learned about the contents of the fungus, it would quickly transmit the information to the other mutants, triggering a corresponding mission in their minds.
After the mutants learned that the Star Bus's organs had softened, their memories indicated that they couldn't be cured. They could only collect the organs that hadn't been softened and try to protect them.
However, if too many of the organs had softened, they would enter a state where they couldn't be cured. That would also mean that the mutants' mission … would fail.
They didn't react in any particular way. Instead, they continued to dig. The piece of meat that they dug had been greatly damaged in the previous battles. As it wriggled, a lot of debris drifted from its body.
However, its movements were getting faster and faster. Soon, the tunnel leading to the inside of the gravitational sphere was dug through.
Lin knew that there were many tunnels on the surface of the sphere that led directly to the inside. However, the mutants didn't go looking for those tunnels. Instead, they dug straight in. Perhaps they wanted to reach it as soon as possible.
The dark core of the planet appeared before Lin. The piece of meat moved its huge body to one side, while the army of mutants swarmed towards the tunnel.
The mechanical spiders flew out of the tunnel with them. The environment here was very similar to the ruins. Wreckage filled the sky, and the ground was brown. However, it was in pure darkness, and there was no way to see the stars through the gaps between the wreckage. However, many things could be seen moving among the wreckage.
Some of the creatures were approaching. Their shapes …
Boom!
Before Lin could get a good look at the creatures, the xenogeneics began to attack. Their beams of light pierced through the wreckage and struck the creatures that were flying through it.
Lin wasn't sure if it was a living creature, but no matter what, the xenogeneic would attack them.
After cleaning up all suspicious objects around them, the Xenogeneics didn't continue forward. Lin noticed that they had all floated to the ground, some of them had even started to fuse together. It formed an even bigger piece of Xenogeneic.
So that was the case. They wanted to build a base here. The xenogeneics that didn't stick together scattered. They dragged the wreckage and other things to where they were. They separated a small piece of meat from their bodies and stuck it to the wreckage.
When many xenogeneics used their meat to cover the remains, it looked as if the remains had been wrapped up by a giant ball of meat.
Then, the wrapped meat would float to the xenogeneics on the ground, and they would all merge together.
The wreckage could be used as food. It seemed that the xenogeneics were building many bases here to produce troops.
As the xenogeneics around the bases dragged more and more wreckage over, they grew bigger and bigger. When they were big enough, they would open up a hole on the surface and produce more xenogeneic soldiers.
It looked like a very simple … method of reproduction, and it was very fast. But Lin was a bit confused. The soldiers' brains shouldn't have been able to do it so fast.
Because brains were made of cells, and although there were fungi floating on the wreckage, there shouldn't be enough of them.
With that in mind, Lin tried to examine the newly created soldiers, only to find that they were all … brainless.
They were probably commanded by the xenogeneics with brains. They were a type of soldier that didn't have cells, and they could be created very quickly.
Soon, the xenogeneics had built over a hundred bases, and each base was growing and growing. The largest one was already over 30 meters tall, and it looked like a … bright red ball growing on the ground.
The army of xenogeneics didn't stay there for too long. They soon stopped dragging the wreckage and continued to move forward. They continued to … fly into the 'sky.' Some of Lin's mechanical spiders followed them, while the others continued to observe the operation of the base.
This time, the army of xenogeneics was made up of pure soldiers. The large chunks of meat were lying on the ground, healing themselves. They didn't fly up.
What made Lin feel strange was that there were some softened organs nearby, but the xenogeneics didn't go there to search. Instead, they flew straight to the center of the gravitational sphere.
After flying for a while, the ground became more and more blurry. When they couldn't see the situation on the ground, the army of xenogeneics suddenly stopped.
Because in front of them, there was a giant creature.
This creature was the same as the jellyfish that Lin saw before. It had a body of several hundred meters long and had countless tentacles around its body. This creature made a strange move before, it created an exploding mushroom to blow up the organs. Lin didn't understand why it would do such a thing.
But now she understood. The creatures here seemed to have been affected by something, and they began to do things they wouldn't have done before.
This might be …
Boom! The xenogeneics fired the first beam of light.
It hit the surface of the creature's body and exploded, but after the explosion, there didn't seem to be any damage left.
At this moment, the creature rushed over, and the army of xenogeneics reacted. They quickly spread out and aimed all their firepower at the creature.
The jellyfish-like creature was instantly covered in a dazzling light.
This time, its defensive abilities weren't able to protect it completely. Cracks appeared on its body from the explosion, and some of its tentacles were broken. However, it didn't hit any xenogeneics, because the xenogeneics could immediately attack again.
The creature seemed to want to dodge the xenogeneics' attack. Its whole body suddenly turned and flew to the other side. Lin's mechanical spider happened to be in that position, and it didn't have time to dodge. It watched as the creature crashed into it.
But just as the creature approached, Lin felt a … signal.
