This is … … the main trunk?
A huge plant was towering in front of Lin's pompous ball.
This plant was the legendary main trunk of the Bus Vine. Not too long ago, the Ershi Min who chose to stay in this place established their kingdom here.
It was like a giant tree towering in the void. In the center of the trunk, which was several kilometers thick, a large number of branches grew and spread out. All kinds of buildings were built on the trunk and branches. Countless aircrafts and warships were flying around these buildings, showing the power of this kingdom built on the vines of the void.
… … Lin believed that this should be how the scene should look like.
But now, the scenery was … shattered.
Countless metal fragments, which appeared to belong to aircrafts and warships, were floating in the vast open space. Between these fragments was the main trunk of the Bus Vine. It was as huge as Lin had imagined it to be. However, its body was filled with cracks.
It appeared to have been cut and bombarded by something. At the same time, the ruins of buildings could be seen on the surface of the Bus Vine. Most of them had their tops torn off while some were blown to pieces, leaving only a small amount of wreckage.
The branches that extended into the surrounding rubble were now broken into several sections. They floated together with the surrounding aircrafts, including the one that the train was traveling on.
Due to that, the train was no longer able to move toward the main trunk. It could only float there and observe the scene before it.
"This is impossible … … why … …" The train conductor beside the velvet ball was completely dumbfounded. The same was true for all the passengers on the train who could see what was happening.
The main trunk of the Bus Vine and the city built on it … … had been destroyed. It would appear that this place had gone through an extremely serious war.
More strangely, the passengers on the train were completely unaware of what had happened. It was as though … … they had just seen what had happened here.
Generally speaking … … this was impossible.
If the main trunk had been attacked, the machines on the other branches would have surely received the news. However, from the moment Lin had boarded the train until now, she had not seen any signs of them receiving the news. Every one of them had boarded the train with an attitude as though nothing had happened.
As for the military command post there, they had not received the news as well. It was as though they were in a state of complete ignorance.
This meant that there was only one possibility, and that was that the news of the destruction of the main branch had been … distorted.
This was because places like the command post were in constant contact with the main branch. Only by distorting the contact information and making the command post think that everything was normal would they be clueless.
It wasn't until one of the trains came back and saw the destruction with his own eyes that he learned what had happened here.
"Must … must report back …" The conductor recovered from the shock a little. He kept poking at the control panel in front of him as if he was trying to contact the station.
"Your message has been sent. It is estimated that the other party will receive it in one billion seconds." After the conductor took a picture of the scenery and sent it, a notification popped up on the panel.
"What?" The conductor was shocked. He poked the clock several times and asked, "What do you mean by a billion seconds?"
"Patience is a virtue. Repeatedly clicking the send button will not shorten the sending time. The system recommends that you use chips and soft drinks, and then enjoy while waiting."
"You damned system, what's wrong with you!"
The conductor slammed the control panel hard. The system said, "Any damage caused to me will be deducted from your salary."
After that, the conductor seemed to be in a daze again. This time, it was due to anger. Lin felt that if he was a cellular organism, he would have fainted already.
However, the system was a little strange. It had already made some mistakes while waiting for the train.
While the conductor was still in a daze, Lin had the pompoms float to the control panel and press a few buttons.
"Unauthorized operation detected." The system said, "If you are attempting to steal, please turn yourself in immediately. That will reduce your sentence. Listen to my advice, stealing a train is a hopeless endeavor."
Lin felt that … something must be controlling the system, because the pompoms could sense …
"Enough! Go back and report this! " The conductor snapped out of it. He poked at the control panel, and the train flew back to where it came from.
"Not on track! Not on track! Please stick to the track immediately, or stay where you are until the maintenance ship arrives. Unauthorized movement is strictly prohibited! "As the train started moving, the system … yelled again.
The train didn't stick to the track before, and the system didn't react at all. Why … was it reacting now? Could it be …
The conductor didn't care about that. He accelerated the train to high speed, and the train shuttled through countless broken rocks as the passengers screamed.
The conductor's skills were good, and the system didn't seem to be able to control the train's movement, so he could go back at full speed.
But …
Boom!
After a violent tremor, the entire train suddenly came to a halt.
"What's going on? What's going on?! " The conductor increased the speed, but the train only swayed in place … as if something was pulling it from behind. No matter how hard the train tried, it couldn't move forward.
"Take a look." The pompoms floated to the control panel and clicked on an option called "Rear View." A screen showing the rear of the train popped up.
"This is …"
Lin and the conductor both saw what seemed to be a huge … tentacle-like thing wrapped tightly around the rear of the train.
"What the hell is this thing?!" The conductor screamed in horror and increased the speed of the train to the highest possible speed, but the tentacle pulled hard at the same time.
Boom!
With a loud boom, the entire train broke apart from the center. The first half of the train charged forward while the second half of the train flew toward the void where countless fragments and wreckage floated behind them.
Boom!!! Immediately after, another roar rang out. The flying front of the car crashed into the surface of a huge boulder that was tens of meters tall, instantly turning into bursts of light and dust.
However, the passengers in the front half of the train didn't turn into dust.
At least not all of them. Some of them flew out, and because there were things in the train that escaped in an emergency, they clearly saw the tragic situation …
