First.
Under the dark sky of Ershi … Lin was slowly floating.
Lin had left the subway station and arrived at the foot of a residential building.
Lin brought Norm to a house on the first floor and tossed out the half-eaten body of the original resident, which had been cut into several pieces, before leaving Norm here.
Putting it inside the house was safer than leaving it outside. The reason why Lin kept it safe was because … Lin had noticed that 'Ershi's information' seemed to have returned to Norm's mind.
Following that, Lin continued her exploration.
Earlier, Lin had noticed a special situation, which was that the 'anti-freezing field' was not a unique ability of living creatures.
In fact, the anti-freezing field would occasionally appear at random locations, but because Lin had yet to grasp the pattern, she had assumed it to be random.
The range of the anti-freezing field that would occasionally appear was only 1 to 2 meters, very small and short. Earlier, it had appeared on Norm's body.
Lin wanted to study this phenomenon and felt that fully grasping the anti-freezing field would be very helpful.
Lin's current pom-poms … hovered above the city streets.
There weren't that many of those 'transformed creatures', only one or two of them could be seen moving through the Ershi Min on the streets.
Lin had obtained some information from Norm when he woke up. Regarding the 'transformed creatures', while there were many different types, they were divided into three types.
The first type was responsible for imitation. They would examine the various objects on Ershi, including the Ershi Min, and slowly transform into their … form.
The second type was responsible for cutting and disassembling. This type was usually the most offensive. They would cut and disassemble the Ershi Min and Ershi … various objects, but they would not imitate them.
The third type was a combination of both abilities. They could both disassemble and imitate, but their offensive capabilities were not that strong.
In fact, there was also a type — the idle type. They did nothing and appeared to be just passing by, but they would always mingle among the transformed creatures for some unknown reason, so they were not considered a threat.
According to Norm, a group of transformed creatures would eventually completely disassemble a large object from the Void and … all living and non-living things on that object, then imitate a group of identical creatures.
The purpose of their actions was a mystery. Perhaps they wanted to obtain information about the creatures in the void outside.
Previously, Noel had not noticed this group of creatures, but now that he had noticed them, what he needed to do was to … get rid of them before they caused too much of an impact.
Then what should he do?
Lin was thinking about this matter.
The pompom floated in the pitch-black world and 'looked' at the various floating solidified creatures. Lin felt that it wouldn't be easy to get rid of them.
He wondered how many of them there were. Did they cover the entire Ershi? If so, then it would indeed be very difficult.
But … it was not as if there was no chance at all. Because before Norm was frozen again, the last thing he thought of was … how to deal with the 'transformed lifeforms'.
He mainly relied on the 'natural phenomenon' here.
While Lin was thinking, she found … light.
Her [Solidified Sense of Smell] allowed her to sense areas with light, so Lin could now tell that lights had appeared on the streets.
It wasn't the light of a street lamp, but … a furnace fire.
More precisely, it was a kind of floating furnace.
There were many types of furnace fires. Some of them were the ones Lin had seen before, and they usually moved slowly in a small area.
Others … floated in a large area, like jellyfish, without a fixed place to live.
These types were smaller than the previous ones, and their bodies were only thirty centimeters in size.
Occasionally, they would float down like the one Lin saw now and fix themselves to the ground. This made Ershi Min Street seem like a street lamp, turning it into a glowing avenue.
And if this phenomenon appeared, it meant … a 'natural phenomenon' of the void freezing was about to happen.
Norm called this phenomenon a 'frozen cold current'.
A frozen cold current was a phenomenon similar to a storm. It would move everywhere, and when it passed, most solidified creatures would lose their ability to resist freezing.
Many creatures could only stay still and wait for the frozen cold current to pass, while some faster creatures would try to dodge.
But the frozen cold current had a diameter of one million kilometers, and it wasn't that easy to dodge.
Most creatures chose to wait, but some creatures … like this group of floating furnace fires, chose to resist.
Originally, they were scattered and drifting, and they would gather around a large object the moment before the frozen cold current arrived. For example, they were now using Ershi Min as their gathering point.
It was said that the reason they formed this habit was because some creatures would deliberately move around in the frozen cold current and hunt down the creatures that were frozen by the cold current.
But as long as they maintained their ability to resist freezing, they wouldn't be attacked.
Tens of thousands of floating furnace fires kept flying down, causing the street to become incomparably bright. This huge amount of furnace fires would gather all of their … 'anti-freezing power' together to resist the freezing cold current.
It looked as if the entire street was celebrating some kind of festival. The Ershi Min and cars on the street also resumed their operations. They looked at the 'flames' in the sky in surprise, not knowing what to do.
The cars also stopped, and the Ershi Min in the cars had the same reaction as the ones on the street.
Lin felt that this was a very interesting phenomenon … but the main point was that the frozen cold current was used to resist the 'transformed creatures'.
Noel believed that the transformed creatures were gathered together by … a kind of 'consciousness.'
It was a phenomenon similar to group consciousness. This consciousness would 'capture' many wild frozen creatures and make them join the frozen creatures, so that they could imitate each other.
That was why so many species of creatures were gathered in this group. In fact, they were all … forcibly connected together. These frozen creatures were originally just a group of wild creatures that had no connection to each other.
And when the frozen cold current passed by, the consciousness of the connected creatures would be interrupted, and the transformed creatures would return to … their wild state.
If they wanted to deal with them, they would have to take advantage of the cold current … to get rid of them.
It wasn't to kill them all, but to use some method to prevent them from being controlled by the consciousness. That way, they could forcibly …
Break up the entire group of creatures.
At the same time, Noel believed that when the cold current passed by, it could truly awaken Ershi.
