"Yes … The second and third units are on their way."
"What do you mean they're hiding? We're the only ones who can hide here! "
"Really … they're hiding?"
Lin's Veronica and Noel were currently hiding.
This was the 101st underground cavern. Like the upper levels, this cavern was also filled with gravel. At the same time, there were many … of those creatures.
For the time being, Lin called these creatures' half-crab people '. They were like a combination of an Ershi Min and a crab, and they liked to use sword-like weapons.
These creatures were similar to the 'wooden dummies' from before. They were creatures with soft internal organs, but they didn't have liquid components.
There were quite a lot of them. Lin could see hundreds of them running around the cavern … They wanted to find Veronica and Noel.
But they were very hard to find.
Because Lin and Noel had just found a … ball.
The ball looked like a mini model of the bus, but it was actually … the 'eye of the storm'.
Ershi said that the enemy used this weapon in the war. Its purpose was to interfere with the bus's teleportation ability.
It didn't have the ability to teleport energy, but if there was a bus nearby controlling the teleportation energy … then this thing could interfere with the energy. If the energy around it was strong, it could even cause the energy to form a spatial storm.
It had formed a small spatial storm inside the egg before. Ershi thought it was the result of it interfering with the bus's energy.
Generally speaking, such a small 'eye of the storm' couldn't interfere with the bus, but this bus had already turned into jelly.
The bus's nervous system could no longer control its own organs. Ershi thought that the bus's jelly teleportation organ was still operating somewhere underground.
Although he didn't know why it was operating, the ball was using the bus's own teleportation energy to form a small spatial storm around it.
This was very effective in protecting itself.
Of course, its main function was to send information … It stored information about the bus war and sent it to the creatures that came into contact with the egg.
Ershi said that it had originally designed … if the shell broke or some creature forced its way in, it would destroy itself to prevent other creatures from obtaining it.
When it maintained the spatial storm, it could keep itself in a safe position in the center, but it could also make this … safe position disappear at any time and let the spatial storm destroy itself.
That should have been the case, but it had blown up the egg and ran out …
He didn't know what the reason was, but it was also because of this reason that Lin and Promise were able to capture it so easily and try to … investigate it.
The 'Eye of the Storm' was an intelligent machine, a weapon created by a creature that had once participated in war.
This kind of creature was known as the 'Molten Chain'.
It was said that these creatures were a type of 'super split species'. This name was given by a certain unique creature on a certain bus.
They were very good at assembling all kinds of weapons in an instant and were very difficult to deal with on the battlefield.
It was as if this ball was a weapon that they had designed.
In other words, the cause of all this might be this species known as the 'Molten Chain'?
But that might not be the case.
Ersh thought that perhaps only their technology had been left behind, but not the species itself.
This was because Ershi felt that the orb was not created by the Fused Chains, but by some other creature.
According to his memories from the war, this orb was different from the ones created by the Fused Chains in many ways.
This orb was created using the bus structure, but the Fused Chains did not use the bus structure to create things.
Even though their function was the same, there was almost no difference.
That was why Ershi thought of the Fused Chains, but perhaps it had nothing to do with the Fused Chains.
In any case, during their investigation, Lin and Ershi had discovered … where the orb came from.
In fact, it was receiving some … information from a distance. Lin had discovered the source of the information.
Next, she and Ershi would go there to have a look.
There was also something else.
These creatures known as the 'Half Crab People'.
Lin found that they … did not have normal sensory abilities.
These creatures were completely relying on … the combat bus's sensory abilities to move forward.
Apart from the earliest one, the Half Crab People that appeared later were all wearing armour. Their armour was stuffed with a kind of jelly-like bus structure.
This structure was actually the bus' sensory organ.
Ershi believed that they had cut off the jelly-like bus' sensory organ and distributed it to each … soldier.
These structures were still alive after they were cut off, and could be used together with their armour to … sense things.
As long as they wore this armour, they would have the ability to sense things like the bus, and could quickly detect the space around them.
However, Ershi only needed to adjust the teleportation energy around them, and they would not be able to sense it.
Noe had some ability to adjust.
That was why they could not detect Lin's Veronica and Noe.
But the most amazing thing was that if they did not wear armour, they would not be able to sense their surroundings at all.
They did not have other sensory organs, and only had some 'neural interfaces' on their bodies to connect to the armour.
If the armour was removed, their world would be like a frozen void … It would be pitch black.
The first one that appeared was a little different. That one … had sensory organs.
Lin felt that they were a rather interesting race, and there were a lot of them here.
Ershi decided to get rid of them all to save the bus.
At the same time, he wanted to go to the source of the 'eye of the storm' to take a look.
Since that was the case, he decided to take action first.
'Bang!'
At this time, Noe had already rushed out … He directly kicked away the nearest Half Crab People.
The other Half Crab People immediately aimed their weapons at him, but … they did not open fire.
After all, they could not detect Noe.
"Where the hell are they?! Hurry up and catch them! "
These creatures began to panic … They were also using the bus' language, but it was not 'encrypted', so Lin and Noe could both hear them.
"Ahhh —!"
Then, one by one, they began to … 'scream'.
