Chapter 1055 Tracking

This is where they... gather?

Lin was in the main control room, looking at various areas in the city. It seemed that there was no sign of those... thick fog in any area.

But this is only the scene within the surveillance range. The main control room does not monitor all places, but only monitors some major areas, such as passages, and some places where weapons are placed.

The thick fog hides everything except these places...

Now, one of Lin's pom-poms is in a location filled with thick fog.

This place is a... food storage room. It looks like a pool from the outside. A large amount of liquid is gathered in the vast space. These liquid-looking substances are processed from materials collected from the ground, and then manufactured.

They will be sent to all residential areas through pipelines and directly passed into the ball brains mounted on the pillars to provide nutrients to the residents.

Therefore, once these food storage areas are contaminated, the contamination will be transmitted to a large number of residents.

Lin's pompoms are currently moving in these liquids that serve as food. Originally, these foods have been extensively processed and do not contain any impurities.

However, Lin now found a large amount of impurities in it, which seemed to come from the 'mud' on the surface. These impurities make the liquid here unusable as food.

But what caught Lin's attention the most was the... living impurities in it.

When the pom-poms float in the liquid, they can feel that there are many small objects moving around them. These objects will all scatter when the pom-poms approach them.

And if the pom-poms stop moving, they will all gather together... There are a lot of these things, but they never act rashly, but act cautiously.

Therefore, Lin now keeps the pom-pom in a motionless state. The surrounding small objects suddenly gathered again...

Most of these tiny objects are about the same size as cells, but some are particularly huge, as large as a millimeter. This time the pompom remained motionless for longer than before. This seemed to arouse their...suspiciousness.

When they got close to about one meter away from the pompom, they all stopped. They were all motionless there. He seemed to be thinking about something.

However, this distance is enough... The pom-pom immediately stretched out a piece of fluff,

Reach for the largest piece of debris.

The moment the pom-poms started to move, they all immediately scattered around, but after all, they were quite tiny, and their speed was also...slow.

The target Lin was aiming at was caught by the fluff of the pom-pom before it could escape ten centimeters.

There are many finer... fluffs on the fluff of the pom pom. They can stick these microscopic substances on them. The moment Lin caught these microscopic objects, she discovered that they were something Lin was familiar with.

A... slime-shaped micro machine.

They are different from ordinary machines. They are a type that can be deformed at will. However, like all micro machines, this machine has two command systems, one is a set program, and the other is a receiving system. Directives from dream energy.

These micro-machines are now able to move at will precisely because the dream energy gives them instructions.

But this dream energy. It's not fear energy.

Lin discovered a strange energy in the captured micromachines... This dream energy is directing the activities of these micromachines.

Moreover, when Lin detected this energy a little bit, they disappeared.

It seemed like they knew Lin was detecting them. Then the connection was immediately interrupted. After the connection was interrupted, all the micromachines stopped moving.

What exactly is this energy? Is it related to fear energy?

Lin had a lot of doubts. At the same time, Lin also thought that this doubt should be solved soon.

Because... although it quickly interrupted the connection, Lin still detected where the energy in these machines was connected before it was interrupted.

It's a secret place... so called by the skeleton dwarfs.

The skeleton dwarf's name for that place can be translated as 'between the secrets', or 'the hidden place', but this is not because the location of this place is very secretive.

Rather, it's because this place houses many of the many...strange things that skeleton gnomes have ever found.

These strange things were excavated from the ground, and there were many of them. And they all look like...creations of some kind of creature.

Skeleton gnomes occasionally find such items while digging and exploring, and they collect them. And have been working on this stuff.

Some things are studied and understood by them, and the things they understand will be retained by them as...collections. But there are still many incomprehensible things that they keep in secret.

Lin discovered that those energies were now hiding among the secrets, and they were sending signals from there.

This place happened to be relatively close to a pom-pom, so Lin asked the pom-pom to go over and check it out first.

Soon, the pom-pom reached the passage leading to the secret space.

The door of the secret passage is closed, which is different from other places. The doors in other places are almost always open... This obviously increases the degree of suspicion here.

'Click -' The door opened slowly, because Lin now controls the main control room, and the instructions from the main control room can also affect the appearance here. However, although it can be controlled, there is nothing between the passage and the secret inside. There is no monitoring equipment, so the main control room cannot see what is going on inside.

As for why they don't set up surveillance inside, it's not clear...

After opening the door, Lin saw a... very clean passage.

There is no thick fog in the passage, and the walls of the passage are quite smooth. This seems to be the only place in the whole city that is not filled with thick fog.

The pom-poms slowly floated into this unpolluted place. The pom-poms slowly floated into this place. In this passage... nothing happened.

Lin originally thought she might be attacked or something, but there was nothing. The pom-pom easily reached the other end of the passage, where the secret room was.

Looking at the circular door between the secrets, Lin tried to use the main control room to adjust the door's switch... The moment Lin adjusted it, the door slowly opened with a 'click'.

It seems to be working here too...

After the door opened, Lin could see that there was no pillar in this place, but instead it was filled with all kinds of things.

The pom-pom floated into the secret room. The first thing that appeared on the pom-pom was... something like a mechanical part. This thing was more than five meters in size and looked like it was part of a huge machine. , it seems to be something that cannot be activated at all, and it has no dream energy.

This kind of dream energy is very... secretive, and you need to be very close to find it, so Lin needs to detect it bit by bit here.

This seems to be the case on the surface, but in fact, after the pom-poms came here, they released a large number of micro-units. These units quickly spread throughout the entire area. They would float to every corner here and block all places.

This ensures that this suspicious dream energy does not escape... and on the surface, the pom-pom slowly flies to the next thing.

This place is very much like a 'museum', everything is neatly arranged, but there is no introduction to these things.

Lin looked at several things. They all looked like some kind of mechanical parts, and their composition was the same as the skeleton machinery.

Lin felt that all these things were...related to Dream Weaver.

It should be something left over from the civilization of the Dream Weavers. The Dream Weavers not only established a kingdom in dreams, they also created many things in reality, but these things were probably all buried underground.

There is nothing complicated about these things. After all, they are not the main parts, but just some peripheral fragments or parts.

But it can also be seen that these things are fragments of a larger object.

this is……

Lin suddenly discovered a shiny object, which was much more conspicuous than the surrounding debris. The object looked like... a three-meter square made of glass.

When the pompom touches it, you can feel that it is a substance that can store dream energy, but there is no dream energy in it.

After checking it, the pompom continued to move deeper. After passing several fragments, Lin once again saw something that seemed very special.

This thing... also looks like a piece of debris.

However, the other fragments looked like they were torn from some large object, but this one was different. It was... very complete. The whole thing was a rhombus, more than one meter in size.

When the fluff extending from the pom-pom touched the object, Lin felt it from above...it was the kind of dream energy.

But just as soon as I felt it, it disconnected, just like when it was testing the micro-machines before.

But this time, Lin was quite close to its connection point, so she could immediately find where it was connected before it was disconnected... The pom-pom looked to the side and could see that location.

That's a... quite conspicuous thing.

A pure white object stands out among a large number of arranged debris.

It is shaped like a cylinder, very similar to the pillars that maintain the virtual space in the skeletal dwarf city. It also has many small holes on it, just like for the brain balls.

It’s just that it’s very small. The entire pillar is only over one meter high. You can feel it when the pom-pom approaches it…

This pillar is full of dream energy, and this should be its 'main base'. It sends signals to other places through here to control those micro-machines... (To be continued.)
