Chapter 1587 Backbone

This is...the main thing?

A huge plant was standing in front of Lin's pom-pom.

This plant is the backbone of the legendary bus vine. Not long ago, the Ershi people who chose to stay in this place established their kingdom on it.

It is like a giant tree standing in the void. In the center of the trunk, which is several kilometers thick, a large number of branches grow and spread. Various buildings are built on the trunk and branches. Countless aircraft and warships are built on these trunks. The buildings are floating and flying around, showing the strength of this country built on void vines.

...Lin felt that the original scenery should be like this.

But the scenery now is... fragments.

Countless metal fragments seemed to originally belong to aircraft and battleships. They were floating in this vast open space. The main trunk of the vines between these fragments was as huge as Lin thought, but it was covered with cracked.

It seemed that it had been cut and bombed by something. At the same time, ruins of buildings could be seen on the vines. Most of them had their tops lifted off, and some were blown to pieces, leaving only a little bit of debris.

The branches that originally extended into the surrounding rubble were now broken into several sections, floating together with the surrounding aircraft fragments, including the one the train was traveling on.

This makes it impossible for the train to follow it to the main trunk. It can only float here and look at all the scenery ahead.

"This is impossible...why..." The train conductor next to Pom Pom was completely stunned, as were all the passengers in the train who could see this scene.

The main trunk of the vines and the city built on the main trunk... have been destroyed. It seems that there has been an extremely serious war here.

What's even more strange is that the robot passengers on these cars are completely unaware of this situation. It's like they just... saw everything here.

Generally speaking...this is impossible.

If the main trunk is attacked, the machines on other branches will definitely receive the message, but Lin has not seen any of them receiving the message since she took the train to here. All the machines are in a state of confusion. Ride the train with the attitude that nothing happened.

As for the military command post there, they did not receive the news. They seemed to be in a state of complete ignorance.

Then this only means one possibility,

That is, the news that the main trunk was destroyed was...distorted.

Because places like command posts are in constant contact with the backbone, only by distorting the contact information to make the command post think everything is normal will they remain clueless.

It wasn't until a train came back here and saw the scene of destruction with my own eyes that I realized what happened here.

"Must...must report back..." The train conductor recovered a little from his shock. He kept poking at the operation panel in front of him, as if he was contacting the station.

"Your message has been sent. It will take a billion seconds for the other party to receive it." After the train conductor took a photo of the scenery and sent it, this voice sounded on the panel.

"What?" The conductor was shocked and poked several times in succession: "What does a billion seconds mean?"

"Patience is a virtue. Clicking the send button repeatedly will not shorten the sending time. The system recommends that you use the potato chips and soda hardware and then enjoy it while waiting."

"What's wrong with your damn system!"

The conductor slammed the operating panel hard, and the system said: "The damage caused to me will be deducted from your salary."

"..." Next, the train conductor seemed to have entered a sluggish state again, and this time it was caused by anger. Lin felt that if it were a cell creature, it might faint now.

However, this system is a bit strange to begin with, and there were some errors when I was waiting for the bus.

When the train conductor was so angry that she was stunned, Lin let the pom-pom float to the operating panel and pressed it a few times.

"Unauthorized operation detected." The system said: "If you are trying to commit theft, please turn yourself in immediately. This way you can get a reduced sentence. Listen to my advice, stealing trains has no future."

Lin felt... there must be something controlling this system, because the pom-pom could feel...

"That's enough! Just go back and report!" The train conductor recovered at this time. He poked the operation panel suddenly, and the car also turned and flew towards the place it came from.

"Not running on the track! Not running on the track! Please stick to the track immediately, or stay put and wait for the maintenance ship to arrive. Unauthorized driving is strictly prohibited!" When the train started, the system... shouted again.

We drove for a while without the track attached, and the system didn't respond at all then. Why did it react like this again now? Could it be...

The conductor didn't care at all. He directly accelerated the train to high speed, shuttling between countless gravels at high speed amidst the screams of the passengers.

The conductor's skills were very good, and the system seemed unable to control the movement of the train, so it drove back at full speed.

but……

‘Boom——! ’

After a violent vibration, the entire train suddenly stopped in place.

"What? What's going on!" The conductor increased the speed higher and higher, but the train was just shaking in place, as if... it was like something was pulling it from behind. No matter how hard it tried, the train couldn't move forward at all.

"Take a look." The pom-pom floated to the side of the operation panel and clicked on an option called 'Rear View', and then a screen showing the rear of the train popped up next to it.

"This is……"

Both Lin and the conductor saw what seemed to be a huge... something like a tentacle wrapped tightly around the rear of the train.

"What the hell is this!" The train conductor screamed in horror while also adjusting the speed of the train to the highest speed, but at the same time, the tentacles also tugged hard.

‘Bang——! ’

With a loud explosion, the entire train suddenly broke apart from the center. The first half of the train rushed forward, while the second half of the train flew toward the void with countless debris floating behind.

'boom--! ! ! ’ Immediately afterwards, another roar sounded, and the head of the flying car hit the surface of a tens of meters of boulder, and instantly turned into a burst of light and smoke.

However, the occupants in the upper half of the car did not turn into dust.

At least not all of them turned into dust. Some of them flew out because there were some emergency escape objects in the train. After they flew out, they clearly saw the tragic scene...

At the same time, I also saw the thing that was pulling the train just now. (To be continued.) Activate new URL
