This was … the depths of the desert.
The small Pathfinder moved quickly in the hot sand that could almost evaporate water, all the way to the underground … where the signal of the Tomb Glue was.
She was almost there.
Just as Lin was thinking this, the sand in front of her suddenly dispersed with a rumble, and the Pathfinder fell into a vast … cave.
The walls and floor of the cave were made of sand and dust, but for some reason, they did not collapse, but formed an empty space.
But there was not only sand here, there was also a metal … stick, which was stuck in the ground in front of the Pathfinder.
'So that's why.' Lin instantly understood why Tomb Glue … wanted to attack Lin.
Because this metal stick belonged to the Evaporator, and the rusty metal structure on the Evaporator could be seen even without touching it.
Lin thought that the general situation should be like this. The Evaporator at some point let this metal stick drill into the desert, and it affected the Tomb Glue.
Perhaps it used some method … to affect the Tomb Glue's … thinking, and made it attack Lin.
And this stick was what the Evaporator used to affect the Tomb Glue, but now it was useless, and it did not release any signal. Lin thought that it should be a … consumable, and after it was used up, it would be useless.
So, the Tomb Glue did not protect this thing, and in fact, Lin did not encounter any attacks on her way here.
Lin guessed that the Tomb Glue did not know Lin's exact location, only the general location of Lin's gathering. As for the scattered units, they must be very close to be discovered.
As long as they did not get too close to the Tomb Glue, the small Pathfinder would not be discovered.
So, what should she do next? Should she talk to the Tomb Glue directly?
Most of the Tomb Glue's units had been wiped out by the residents of the city. Soft bodies could not fight against metal, so the Tomb Glue might give up on this battle and have a good talk with Lin … If the Evaporator did not affect it too much, Lin might be able to 'persuade' the Tomb Glue.
"Are you here? Is it here? "
As Lin was thinking about it, she suddenly heard … … a familiar voice. The sand beside her burst open and two familiar figures crawled out from it.
Those two … Ash created brain monsters.
"There you are!" As soon as an Ashen brain monster saw Lin's small pioneer, it immediately ran over and said: 「 We've been reunited, come, run towards the future, face that … face what? 」
"We were summoned here." Another brain monster said, "You defeated it, but you didn't defeat it. That's why you have to completely defeat it before it defeats you."
Lin didn't say anything to them and instead had Pathfinder come into contact with one of the brain-creating monsters.
Soon, Lin found out why they were here … It was mainly because they had received intermittent signals from the meltdown zone.
Ever since the meltdown brought them into the tomb of Midgard, they could no longer receive it. But for some reason, they suddenly received it again and came here.
They came to the place where they thought the signal was the strongest, which was the desert cave where Lin was.
At the same time, through the two of them, Lin also learned about some of the … thoughts of the meltdown zone.
In the meltdown zone, there seemed to be a little bit of … awakening. It had been in a 'coma' state all this while.
This was also the Transpiration's doing … So that's how it was. After being transported into the tomb of Midgard, the Transpiration had already started this … plan.
It stopped eroding the meltdown zone, but instead, it used a powerful 'mental interference' effect on the meltdown zone.
This caused the meltdown zone to fall into a coma.
The Transpiration believed that Lin would pursue it to this place, so it prepared beforehand. If the meltdown zone fell into a coma, even if it was no longer there, Lin would temporarily be unable to communicate with the meltdown zone.
Then, it started another plan … to influence the local lifeform, or in other words, Tomb Gel. The Transpiration seemed to understand Tomb Gel quite well, and it even knew the structure of its thoughts.
It shot out a part of its body and drilled into the sand, continuing to release signals to influence Tomb Gel's thoughts.
At the same time, it also gave Tomb Gel a way to recognize Lin. It made Tomb Gel believe that Lin was a rather threatening lifeform, and must be quickly … eliminated.
It mainly told Tomb Gel that almost all 'Lin' were gathered in the Canned City, so Tomb Gel had to focus on that city as its main target.
It seemed that the Transpiration had predicted that Lin would come to that city, because it was the only place in this area with cellular lifeforms.
The Transpiration itself … stayed in the lava lake all this time, because it was waiting for Lin's arrival, because it knew … Lin would destroy it.
"Rumble —"
Suddenly, Lin heard a sound.
This sound was not from the desert, but … from the Canned City. The rumbling sound was … spreading throughout the entire city.
"What's going on?" "Is this an earthquake?" "Ah!" The residents in the city who were fighting Tomb Gel all felt the ground tremble, and all the pipes were shaking. They originally thought that Tomb Gel would be easy to deal with, and were filled with joy of victory, but now, they were filled with fear again.
Lin's cellular lifeforms could clearly feel the tremors in the Decaying Land. It was as if every corner of the city was shaking, and the tremors extended all the way to the depths of the Decaying Land.
However, this situation could be seen more clearly from the sky. The floating pompoms above the city could see that the entire city was shaking … and slowly moving to the west.
This wasn't a simple earthquake. Instead, it was as if something … was pushing the city underground. Apart from Lin, the only other person who noticed this was the brain spirit.
"This place … They're going to destroy this place!"
The Brain Spirit was still on the tallest building. It kept muttering to itself and kept turning in circles. It looked like … the usual anxious appearance of a creature with a personality, but there was nothing it could do.
According to the brain spirit, it only controlled a small part of the city's defense system, so it could not prevent large-scale situations.
But how did this happen? Could it be … that Tomb Gel's body was so huge that it was really pushing the city underground?
Lin's pompoms in the canyon in the west could already see that due to the tremors, many cracks had appeared on the canyon walls below the city, and the rumbling continued. If this continued, the city might really be pushed into the canyon …
