Chapter 72 Preparing for Expansion
It should be there. w-w--o-m.
The scenery on both sides quickly receded, and the spy quickly jumped between the meteorites.
The spy has jumped out a long way, and the square where the car is almost invisible. The many virtual people around the square have become rare here.
Although the materials here appear to be abundant, most of them are useless stones, and some phantoms have to travel far to find the rare materials they want.
Because it is in the void, even very heavy things can be dragged back.
And what Lin is looking for is the 'black metal powder' that can make the thorns of the brain grow, but Lin added something to the target just now.
This thing seems to be a creature that Lin is very familiar with.
It just jumped in front of the spy in an instant, and now I don't know where it went, but even if it was only for a second, Lin could recognize this creature.
It was a... Crystal Zard.
It was exactly the same as what Lin saw on the Void Cue Ball, it looked like a crystal lizard without a head, and it was only one centimeter in size.
However, here it does not sit in the cone, but moves outside alone. The structure of the crystal zard can obviously adapt to this void environment, and it also shows a strong jumping ability, running between meteorites. disappeared.
Then, it seems that I can't find it.
The spy stopped on a meteorite. This rock was like a mini island with a diameter of only ten meters. The spy dug some debris from it with his hands and put it into his mouth.
This feeling is...that's what it should be.
It contains the ingredients of Addiction Stone, but there are also a lot of 'black metal powder'. The two ingredients seem to enjoy mixing together.
And this island. There should be enough for the thorns to grow.
When Xumin transports the addiction stone back, he will choose the stone with a particularly high addiction content. This also results in a low composition of black metal, so you can only find this in the country of origin...
Should be digging here, but...
"Over there! This stone is ours!"
Just as Lin thought about it,
A spot of light appeared in the distance, and this spot of light approached at an extremely fast speed, and instantly reached the front of the spy.
These are five small cars that can be translated as 'Void Motorcycles', and in each car sits a Void, and the one in the front holds a glowing thing in the hand.
That thing is a detector. Void people usually use various detectors to find rare substances, including addiction stones should also have special detectors.
But this kind of thing is not very easy to use, and it often fails or has various problems.
"Hey, we passed by here just now, this is what we found first." The five virtual people hooked the car to the ground, and they also jumped down.
The virtual people who came to dig here all have a communicator, so they can talk to each other, and the spy also took one.
"Did you hear? Is your communicator broken?" The five virtual people walked up to the spy and said, "This is our..."
"You came just in time." The spy interrupted it and said, "It can be used for digging."
"Ah?" The five virtual people all showed puzzled expressions under their masks.
...... After thousands of seconds have passed.
This is still the small island in the void, but there is an extra hole in the ground, and fragments of stones keep flying out of the hole.
The spy was digging rapidly in the cave. Using the energy of those few virtual people, Lin strengthened the spy's muscles. At the same time, Lin also intends to create some arms and build a small base here.
The spy intends to cultivate the brain spirit in the spikes directly here, there is no need to return to the cue ball of the virtual people, and Lin intends to slowly expand here and occupy the whole place.
That's how Lin's actions began.
Here, Lin slowly expanded the scale of the base, from one meteorite to another, occupying a larger and larger area, and the source of energy was mainly... Xumin.
There is no law in this kind of free zone. To be precise, there should be no way to control it at all. However, Lin feels that no one cares even in the space station.
There are often fights for resources here, so there are often corpses floating in the void, so Lin doesn't even need to catch the live virtual people. After all, if you catch too many, it will cause suspicion.
This place is not as big as Lin's previous meteorite area, and there are few large meteorites, otherwise Lin thinks it will be built into a residential area.
However, the main reason for not building a residential area is that the stones here often move around and occasionally collide, which is very dangerous.
While Lin slowly expanded this place, she also made the head with a thorn that the spy brought up to grow rapidly, and the ball of light inside became bigger and bigger. As it grew, Lin also paid attention to it. How the energy in this is converted should soon be able to unlock the secret of this brain spirit.
However, when developing here, Lin never saw that crystal zard again. I don't know if it lived here or arrived by accident, but this place has no trace of black metal invasion, so it should be safe.
Moreover, Lin felt that there was another way to learn about them...
Lin has caught a crystal zard in a cone before, and has been communicating with it. Lin found that it can use the way of body friction to make a pronunciation similar to the imaginary language. Although there are only a few words at present, but It can already say a few things now...
It tells Lyn that they have been working for some kind of creature.
It says that it has been doing the same thing since it can remember, that is, operating the cone, and then doing all kinds of work, the orders for the work will come from time to time, and then they will do according to the content.
According to it, Lin found that they didn't seem to doubt this emotion, they didn't doubt why they did this, and this crystal zard didn't know who asked them to do it, but it has always been like this.
When they have nothing to do, they will gather together and share food or something. They should be creatures with similar personalities, but they are quite simple, and they attach great importance to the same kind. If one of the same kind is missing, they will try their best to find it.
The crystal zard caught by Lin also said that its kind will save it sooner or later...
It seems that they can't provide much information, because those cones are not made by them, they are just a kind of low-level workers...
Will the brain spirit parasitize crystal zards? Lin thinks it shouldn't, but it should be Brain Spirit who sends orders to them.
While Lin was researching these here, the black metal on the Void Cue Ball seemed to be planning to start the next move... (To be continued..)
