The End of the Paleozoic Era Chapter 1927: Ghost Fleet

"We have investigated the details of the third returning expedition team... According to the information, this is a 'ghost fleet'.

"No signs of life were found on the ship... After all, it's strange that we can observe the situation here."

This is... an underground Ershimin base.

In a room, a group of Ershi people were watching the situation of the third expedition team through a stereoscopic screen.

This expedition...seems to be the most amazing one.

In previous expeditions, the Ershi people could only know their general location but could not detect their detailed conditions.

It's even more impossible to be like this... Er Shimin discovered that the observation device can not only detect the situation of the fleet, it can even connect to the interior of these ships, connect to some surveillance equipment inside, and see the environment inside the ship.

Therefore, the Ershi people came to the conclusion that the fleet of the third expedition was a "ghost fleet".

There were no creatures recognizable to the Ershi people inside the ships of this fleet, and they were filled with... many cracks, holes caused by explosions, bullet holes, signs of corrosion, etc.

Whether inside or outside the ship, there are signs of destruction everywhere, as if these warships have experienced some fierce battles.

And because there are no visible pilots and their wreckage-like appearance, these warships are considered ghost ships.

But... this is just what it looks like on the surface, these warships can actually move.

They will sail slowly and slowly approach the mother world.

However, it's unclear from the outside or the inside what's making it move...which is also part of the ghost.

In short, Lin felt that this expedition team... was more interesting than the previous ones, and they might have experienced some interesting things.

So, Lin is exploring them now.

Not long ago, some of Lin's small troops and the train's cargo were teleported into the void and met this fleet in the void.

Then, Lin let these troops enter a "ghost battleship".

The styles of these warships are quite similar to those of the Ershi people’s fleet. Most of them are shaped like ships, and the interiors are also... similar.

Lin's small troops are moving inside the battleship. There are now ten of them, each of which is thirty centimeters long and looks like a piece of gel.

Through them, Lin could see the devastated environment around her... There were huge cracks everywhere in the corridor, as if some creature with huge claws had scratched everywhere.

Combined with the flickering lights in the corridor, there is indeed a feeling that "this place has been destroyed by monsters."

The size of this corridor is very suitable for Ershimin's body shape, as if these warships all belong to Ershimin.

Lin's troops were not acting alone, they were accompanied by... five Ershi people.

These five Ershi people... are the exploration team. They received orders to explore these ghost warships and at the same time, to retrieve the lost cargo.

Now those goods should be floating in the void instead of entering the warship, but this exploration team did not go to the void to look for them, but started exploring here. Obviously, their main purpose is still exploration.

But what is strange is that they had no plans to explore the expedition team before, so why did they suddenly explore the third expedition team?

Maybe there is some special secret here.

However, the members of the exploration team did not know that they were just observing everywhere.

"We should walk faster. I think this place is very strange..."

The way they came in was similar to Lin's. They were first teleported into the void, and then entered the internal corridor through the cracks on the surface of the battleship.

These Ershi people all seemed very nervous. They all held weapons and used the light from their weapons to observe the surrounding passages.

Although it was possible to see some of the conditions inside the ship through the battleship's surveillance system which was somehow intact from within the base, there were still many places that could not be seen.

Therefore, this expedition is now heading into these unknown regions...

This warship is very strange. Although the passages inside are suitable for the body shape of the Ershi people, there are no rooms inside.

After walking here for a while, all Lin saw were passages that extended in all directions, as if these passages filled the entire battleship... and there were no room facilities at all.

At the same time, there is another strange...creature here.

"What is that!"

An Ershi citizen shone a light towards a crack on the wall nearby and could see a lot of twisting... things there.

They looked very much like soft-bodied creatures, clinging there and wriggling slowly, some of them resembling sea anemones.

"What on earth is this..."

An Ershi people walked over slowly and looked carefully at the crack where the creature was sticking.

"It doesn't seem dangerous? It might be a void creature... but I don't think I've seen one before."

Other Ershi people also walked over with some curiosity, perhaps because these twisting creatures were very small and did not seem to pose any threat.

Indeed, they should not pose any threat at the moment.

Lin called them 'splitting fungi'.

They are the only type of organisms found inside these ghost warships that are not actually cellular organisms, but rather a type of organism made of soft matter.

Their interior is made of liquid, and they will slowly push the liquid inside into the cortex. When approaching the skin surface, the liquid will slowly turn into a solid state to form the skin.

This is Lin's...preliminary investigation result on this creature, but it is not yet known what they feed on.

The peculiar thing about them is that they usually stick to these cracks, and... they will not appear within the range of observation of the surveillance system.

Therefore, it is impossible to see this kind of creature at the Ershimin base.

"Perhaps we should bring back some samples?"

"It's better not to touch it casually. What we need to do is to investigate the entire area without surveillance."

"Come to think of it, why don't we use a remote control machine to investigate?"

"Because the signal here...wait, something's happening!"

While these Ershi people were chatting, they suddenly seemed to be frightened and all looked towards the passage ahead.

Several rays of light shone into the depths of the passage, making the dim passage appear very bright...

At the same time, a huge... figure appeared in the passage.

"What is that?"

One of the Ershi people made a surprised sound because they saw... the figure was a huge object.

It is moving slowly towards this side.

Lin thought that this was also a 'crack fungus', but it was much larger than those stuck to the cracks...
