"Can't contact … can't … go back."
They were in the void. It was cold and there was no air, but they could still talk and live well here.
That was because … they had activated the Survival System.
"What should we do?"
A fluffy ball was floating together with several Ershi Min machines. Not long ago, the train crashed into a rock and was destroyed.
When the 1000 Average Weights were tied together with a strand of hair, the fluffy ball activated the train's ejection system, which allowed the fluffy ball and the machines to survive.
However, the only ones who survived were the drivers of the train. The ordinary passengers didn't seem to have the ejection system, so … only the conductor, the fluffy ball, and a few co-pilots were here.
After they were ejected, they quickly moved because the survival system was activated when Lin ejected them. This system could be activated using the operating system in the cockpit. This way, they wouldn't be unconscious and floating in the air.
So what should they do next?
"It … is hiding there." The fluffy ball was holding a communicator, so they could hear what they were saying.
The conductor was currently looking at a floating piece of metal in the distance, which should be the wreckage of a warship. Behind the metal piece, something … wriggling could be seen.
It was the … creature that had pulled the train earlier. It should be a creature. After it pulled the train apart, it flew behind the metal plate and hid there for some unknown reason.
Generally speaking, it looked like a creature called a 'Nautilus'. It had a round 'shell' and a large number of … tentacles. Its entire body was dark blue. It was unclear if this creature had anything to do with the destruction in the main trunk.
But at least it attacked the train.
This' Nautilus' was about a few dozen meters long and possessed considerable strength. It could pull a train that was hundreds of meters long … and it could even break the train.
So the conductor said, "Fly back. Keep flying in the direction we came from. It might take a long time, but it shouldn't be dangerous. You'll be able to fly back sooner or later. Once you're back, immediately report to the command center and let the commander-in-chief know the situation here."
"I want to stay here. It destroyed my train …" the conductor pointed at the 'Nautilus' hiding behind the metal piece and said, "So, I have to deal with it."
Lin felt that this conductor … seemed to have changed her personality in an instant. Just a moment ago she was running away in fear, but now she was saying that she had to deal with the creature.
"We got it! You must be careful! " As for the machines in the passenger seat, they didn't seem to care so much. They quickly flew back in the direction they came from and didn't even stay for a second.
"Do you really want to solve it?"
Only the pom-poms and the conductor were left, so the pom-poms asked the pom-poms.
"Of course, I used to be the captain of the Pegasus. I'm only doing this because I retired."
The conductor said, "I thought I'd be able to live out my retirement life peacefully, but I didn't expect something like this to happen here. It made me angry again. I want to get rid of these monsters that invaded us!"
After saying that, the train conductor activated the … propeller on her body. She flew forward at high speed, and the pompoms followed behind.
Lin wanted to see how it was going to deal with this creature. At the same time, Lin felt that the conductor's sudden change in behavior … might be due to a malfunction in its personality system.
These machines were quite similar to other AI machines that Lin had seen before. They had a system that adjusted their personality, but this personality system didn't affect their memory, so the conductor must have been a captain or something.
Of course, the personality system didn't affect their intelligence. The conductor clearly knew that it couldn't deal with this monster, so it didn't fly directly to the metal plate where the 'Nautilus' was. Instead, it flew to another place.
Lin noticed that the conductor flew to a place about one kilometer away from the Nautilus … behind a piece of wreckage.
This piece of wreckage should be from a warship, and it was very intact. It looked like … a very large cannon.
"This is the new curved rock-splitter cannon." The conductor saw the pom-poms flying over and introduced it to the pom-poms. "Even if the warship it was carrying is destroyed, it can still fire independently. That monster won't be able to withstand this attack!"
Lin noticed that the conductor flew to the side of the rock-splitter cannon and made a small image on it to operate it.
"Welcome back, Captain Sarah." Lin noticed that the image also made a sound … The pom-poms communicator in its body could receive it.
"You've already retired, so you don't have the authority to activate heavy weapons. But now that the warship has been destroyed and everything has been reduced to ashes, this cannon is your last hope. So, you can activate this weapon and make good use of it."
"…" The conductor didn't say anything and continued to adjust the cannon.
Lin felt that these systems were very strange. It didn't seem to be the train's system. Maybe …
"Okay! Aim at the target! "
After the conductor finished adjusting it, the cannon began to slowly rotate in the air. Lin noticed that there was a propeller installed at the end of the cannon.
The cannon was aimed at the metal plate where the 'Nautilus' was hiding in the distance. Lin Sanjiu could see tentacles wriggling behind the metal plate, indicating that it was still there.
"Fire!"
The conductor shouted. In an instant, Lin saw … a violent explosion erupt from the metal plate.
Because it wasn't too far away, Lin could see a lot of metal fragments. There were also some … dark blue things that looked like chunks of meat flying out from the center of the explosion.
"Great!" The conductor cheered at this moment. "We did it! Get rid of it … … "
The conductor's cheering soon stopped. After the smoke and dust from the explosion cleared, Lin saw … … the Nautilus floating behind the shattered metal plate.
Some of its tentacles were broken off and there were some cracks on its shell. However, its body was not destroyed.
But now, it was motionless. Perhaps … …
"It's done, right?" The conductor's cheering turned into doubt. Then, it started working on the control panel again.
[There's no more ammunition,] the system said. "Did you waste your last chance? You really, really … … let yourself down, don't you? "
"… …" If it was a frequent interaction with this kind of system, it would probably be very angry.
"Forget it. Let's go check it out." The conductor didn't care about the system anymore. He decided to fly to Nautilus to confirm the situation there.
