They were moving around, and Lin was looking at them.
This place looked like a cave, but it was actually … the underground of the shopping mall. Lin had found this place not long ago.
This place was the nest of those grayish-black creatures with hairless tails. They multiplied and grew here in large numbers.
However, they weren't the only ones moving around here. Lin could see some worm-like things crawling between these small creatures.
These worms were over a meter long, but they were not real worms. They were … Transpirators.
To be precise, they were a type of Primordial Transpirators. Lin Sanjiu did not know how they became like this. Perhaps it was because it was convenient for them to move around underground.
These Transpirators seemed to be living together with these furry creatures. Moreover, they were the main raw materials for the Food Creation Device.
The Primordial Transpirators here would collect … raw materials and send them to the Food Creation Device. This was why the Food Creation Device could create real food.
These raw materials were mainly fungi. There were a lot of fungi in this underground cave, and these fungi were produced because of … corpses.
There were countless furry creatures here. These creatures did not seem to eat the corpses of their own kind. Instead, they piled the corpses together and produced a lot of fungi.
The Transpirators would collect these fungi and send them to the Food Creation Device to be used as raw materials.
However, the Transpirators would not continuously send these fungi to the Food Creation Device. This was because the Food Creation Device was not always active. If it was not active, the Transpirators would send the fungi to a cold storage inside the shopping mall. A large amount of fungi would be stored there until the Food Creation Device was activated.
In other words, the food that the Ershi Min here ate was made from the fungi here. If they knew about this, they might … not want to eat it.
However, they did not seem to have any problems eating it so far. This was because the Food Creation Device had removed all harmful ingredients during the creation process.
However, the creatures here seemed to have only appeared recently. Perhaps the Primordial Transpirators were collecting ingredients in other places before this.
Lin also noticed that these Transpirators did not send the fungi to the Food Creation Device or the cold storage by themselves. Instead, they used the teleportation system here.
This construction site was the same as the others. It had a 'built-in' teleportation system, and these primitive Transpirators had the right to use this system.
After observing them for a while, Lin discovered that the Primordial Transpiration's intelligence … was very low. They only knew how to do simple things like collect mushrooms and their own food.
The food was given to the food manufacturing machine, and the machine itself ate some of the substances in the ground.
These Transpirators were indeed not related to the current Transpirators, but Lin discovered that they were … related to the young ghosts.
This was because they all followed a certain pattern of life. This pattern was not their original pattern of life, but other creatures … imposed on them.
This creature was the Spirit Whelp. It had been controlling the Transpirators here and had them feed the Ershi residents.
So, Lin planned to ask it what its purpose was, but it didn't seem to be easy to find.
Previously, Lin thought that it would be easy to find because traces of it could be found everywhere in the mall, but now it seemed that it was just a trace.
Every Transpirator here had some traces of … the young ghosts on them.
Due to the large number of Primordial Transpirators, Lin detected a large number of Spirit Whelp signals in the mall.
However, the Spirit Whelp wasn't among the Transpirators. Lin searched almost every place in the mall where there were Primordial Transpirators, but she couldn't find any traces of the Spirit Whelp.
In fact, the Transpirators were only in the mall's underground and freezer, and there were no traces of the Spirit Whelp in these places.
What should she do? Lin thought that perhaps she should look for clues from the original Ershi Min.
Although most of the food manufactured here had traces of the Spirit Whelp, only the original Ershi Min had a strong desire to create skeleton machines. The other Ershi Min didn't have such thoughts.
Therefore, it should be a relatively important character, and this important character was currently under a serious threat.
If the Spirit Whelp cared about it … it might care about the current situation.
Lin's fluffy ball had now flown to the first floor of the mall. Countless gray and black furry creatures were active here. They seemed to have gone crazy as they kept gnawing at everything here.
However, their main target was the room surrounded by the container by the Ershi Min. These little creatures were densely packed outside the container, and their numbers had reached a terrifying level.
Moreover, Lin noticed that they were really gnawing through the metal containers. Along with their gnawing, there would always be countless dust particles sprinkling down with the sound of gnawing.
It wouldn't be long before they bit through the container. In that case, the Ershi Min inside would probably be torn apart.
The container seemed to have run out of electricity because it didn't discharge.
"They're coming in? What should we do? There's no other way. We can only make the final preparations … Do we really have to do this? "
Lin heard voices coming from the container. It was the Ershi Min and its two companions.
It had a few companions living with it. Two of them had returned earlier, and now they seemed to be planning something …
"Open!"
Suddenly, Lin heard a shout. The container that had been modified into an automatic door slowly opened.
The small creatures immediately squeezed into the gap like water ….
But in the next second, Lin saw them all flying out. A strong gust of wind rushed out from behind the opened container.
The little creatures that were squeezing through the opening were unable to stand still and were blown out in droves.
After the container was fully opened, Lin saw that … there were several large things that could be called fans inside the room.
These fans had a diameter of nearly two meters. They rotated at an extremely fast speed, blowing out strong winds that made the countless little creatures outside … unable to enter. They could only run toward the entrance, only to be blown away again.
This was quite interesting. When Lin came here, she didn't see such large fans, and …
