The End of the Paleozoic Era Chapter 2120: Captured

"The engine has been damaged... It is no longer possible to escape the gravity zone. A collision will occur in 180 seconds."

"How could it explode? The gravitational area...what on earth is that place?!"

In the command room, all the images were constantly... flashing.

This happened a while ago when the missile the ship was supposed to use to attack the dark algae somehow hit itself.

In the constantly flickering picture, one can barely see the scenery outside the ship... In front of the ship, about hundreds of thousands of kilometers away, there is a huge... thick fog.

At least it looks like thick fog. Its diameter is nearly one hundred kilometers and it appears blue on the surface.

This green mist has a strong gravitational force. The warship that was hit by the missile is now unable to escape this gravity. It is now attracted to this mist together with the spiral shell.

"What on earth is that?" The flickering screen slowly resumed, and Er Shimin in the command room also saw the scene of thick fog ahead.

"Unable to determine the phenomenon. There is no relevant record in the data." The battleship's system said: "Searching for similar records... No records."

"This system is really useless!" said an Ershi citizen. "Just now a missile hit the warship... and now they say they don't know what the phenomenon ahead is. What should we do?"

"You can say you are useless, but you can't say I am useless." The system said, "Because you designed me, and everything about me is running according to your ideas."

"It's not my design!" Er Shimin slapped the screen in front of him, causing the 3D image to flash.

"No matter what it is, being attracted to it will definitely not lead to good results." An Ershimin nearby said, "We need to leave this place and activate the escape pod."

"Escape? How can we survive if we escape? We are in the void here, and we must have the supplies from the Cosmic Conch!"

"Sorry, I'm afraid you can't use the escape pod," the system said. "The escape pod was destroyed not long ago."

"What?" Several Ershi people here were shocked. One of them asked, "Why was it destroyed?"

"The missile destroyed more than just part of the engine," the system said. "The escape pod was also affected."

"…Why on earth would the missile fly back and hit us?" Ershimin said angrily, "Are you in control? The system?"

"I didn't take control for unknown reasons." The system said, "It is very likely that I was hacked. It's all your fault for not installing the most advanced security protection for me."

"When it's really safe, I will definitely tear you apart." Er Shimin said.

The system said: "Your anger is meaningless. I am just pointing out your mistakes."

Lin discovered that this system seemed to be particularly good at angering the Ershi people. Lin felt that this might also be... previously set.

Perhaps, the whole thing of this group of Ershi people coming here was just a... conspiracy.

Watching the development of the situation, Lin felt that it was indeed possible. After all, they kept encountering various things, and now the system was still trying to provoke them.

However, these Ershi people did not continue to talk to the system. They regained their composure and discussed what to do.

They had many ideas, but in the end they decided to implement the previous plan.

That is to get rid of the dark algae and restore the spiral... to normal.

This is the only feasible solution. If the spiral returns to normal, it may drag the warship away from the influence of the gravity of the thick fog.

After thinking about it, they tried to quickly contact their companions inside the spiral.

The signal was still as vague as before, but they still managed to send out some signals, and the team inside the spiral also received it.

After learning about the situation inside the battleship, they decided to climb directly onto the back of the conch to blow up the dark algae.

Now... that's all they can do.

"We will definitely succeed. We will not fail, because we are already a brand new civilization. We will start a brand new life under the shining starry sky!"

At the end of the discussion, this group of Ershi people encouraged themselves and began to act quickly.

The Ershi people in the battleship were responsible for observation and communication, while the Ershi people inside the conch tried to climb onto the conch's outer shell.

This task does not seem difficult. After all, there are no living creatures to hinder them. The only thing to worry about is the dark algae.

Because they all now agree that the dark algae is the culprit that has affected all the Ershi people in the battleship and also caused Zhou Luo to commit suicide.

In fact, they currently have no way to detect the connection between this and the dark algae, but now there is only one suspicious organism, the dark algae, so they place their bets on the dark algae.

There were also a few Ershi people who thought that this might be the system's fault, because the system behaved very suspiciously... So a few Ershi people in the battleship began to investigate the system.

But no matter what they do, it seems like there is never enough time.

"Damn...it's too close!"

The Ershi people inside the conch are still looking for a way to the back of the conch, while the Ershi people in the battleship are nervously... watching the images in the command room.

The huge thick fog was only a few thousand kilometers away from them. Within this distance, the warships and the conchs were flying towards the fog at an increasingly faster speed.

The surface of the thick fog was flickering with light, like a cloud brewing thunder and lightning. Seeing this scene made the Ershi people terrified.

Lin found it interesting that the...'gravity' of this thick fog was not the same as the gravity of a normal tumbler.

It only acted on the battleship and the conch, that is to say, it deliberately pulled... the battleship and the conch over.

This is not a 'natural' force of gravity.

It's very abnormal.

"You haven't found the way up yet...Aaaaah!"

Screams were heard in the battleship's command room, and everything inside was constantly...vibrating and floating up.

"An unknown situation has been detected. The gravity maintenance device has been disturbed." The system said: "Gravity is released."

"You useless machine!" an Ershi citizen said angrily, "How come you don't understand anything!"

"This is not my fault. This is your fault for not giving me enough information." The system said, "So when the critical moment came, I was unable to play a role in explaining it."

"In ten seconds we will enter an unknown 'dense fog area'." The system said: "Probability of survival: very low."

"Shut up!" Er Shimin picked up his weapon and fired a shot at the ground, which was meaningless except for making the bullet bounce back and forth.

At this time, the battleship and the conch also flew into the thick fog.
