The End of the Paleozoic Era Chapter 2142: The Dark World
“…What on earth is going on here?”
This is a very dark world.
Thin air, normal gravity, extremely low temperatures.
But the most important thing is the surrounding scenery. The surface of this world is like... being indoors. You can't see the stars in the sky, and you can only barely see huge black shadows shaking around.
This is... the surface of the dark red bus, a world completely covered in shadows.
Although it appears to have many shining spots on the surface, once you arrive on this world it is as if you have fallen into darkness.
This is quite strange, because the surfaces of other buses around are brighter. That's because of the light from the starry sky and the many glowing spots on the surface.
But this world not only seemed not to emit light, but also to block the light coming in from outside.
Not long ago, this group of Ershi people were on the silver raft, and the deputy captain was trying to return to the space station while dealing with the thorn ball.
However, when passing over the surface of the dark red bus, the silver raft they were on... was shot down.
The silver raft crashed towards the surface of the dark red bus. Although most of them were not injured, they could no longer fly.
They were trapped on this world in darkness.
Hundreds of Ershi people are now grouped together, taking turns turning on the lighting function of their armor and slowly moving forward on the surface.
The scenery here caused a great deal of fear in the minds of the Ershi people. There were countless huge shadows swaying around. When they shone light on them, they could see that the shadows were objects like dead trees. Although there was no wind here, they were swaying slowly.
Occasionally, among these dead trees, some objects flashing red light would float by. These were the only local light sources they had seen since arriving here.
According to the Ershi people, there is no civilization on this world, at least not where they crashed.
However, they still held out hope because not long ago, the deputy captain had tried to use the silver raft to send a signal to the spiral.
It successfully sent a message to the spiral, and the other side responded with a message, indicating that it already knew their location... and decided to drive the spiral to come here to pick them up.
So they planned to wait for the arrival of Cosmic Snail, but Lin felt that some of them might not survive... until the arrival of Cosmic Snail.
"There's something ahead, and it's moving fast!"
The advancing Ershi people suddenly stopped, and it could be seen that the scanning map in their helmets showed many...large objects.
These objects were slowly approaching them from between the surrounding 'dead trees'.
"Pick up your weapons and be careful around you!"
This world does not look like a civilized world, so all the Ershi people subconsciously think that there will be "beasts" here.
"There!"
Suddenly, an Ershi people shouted, and saw a huge creature jumped out from the dead trees. It pounced towards the Ershi people's team, but under the volley of heavy bullets, the creature was quickly smashed to pieces and turned into debris that fell to the ground.
"What is this... a cockroach?"
After seeing that the creature that had been smashed was no longer moving, a few Ershi people came over to see what was going on.
The creature they saw looked very much like... a cockroach, but it was over three meters long and very large.
In fact, this is also a creature that Lin is familiar with.
It is the Inca Swarm's favorite...basic unit 'Void Blattodea'.
This is slightly larger than the usual Void Cockroach, but looks exactly the same.
"Be careful! There are more around!"
Ershimin suddenly turned his head and looked elsewhere, and several Void Cockroaches suddenly jumped out from different locations in the dead woods.
They pounced on the Ershi people, but the Ershi people reacted faster and countless bullets smashed the Void Cockroaches again. The Ershi people breathed a sigh of relief when they saw that no monsters were scanned around them.
"We should find a safe place...Everyone, hurry up!"
Under the command of the deputy captain, they left here quickly.
Lin continued to test the Void Cockroach.
These void cockroaches... do not belong to the current Inca swarm.
Simply put, they are too far away from the main population, and their consciousness connection... is disconnected, forming an independent small group.
Generally speaking, if a small group of the Inca Swarm is disconnected from the main group, then this small group will wait or find a way to connect with the main group. Although the intelligence of the small group will be very low, they still have the "instinct" to find the main group through various clues, such as smells or traces.
But this group of void cockroaches is not like that.
They have no intention of looking for the main group, but instead regard themselves as wild animals here, leading a simple hunting life.
Because of the small number of individuals in this small group of Void Cockroaches, their intelligence is similar to that of wild beasts. They were just looking for any edible substances here, and this group of Ershi people was a big meal for them.
This is all Lin knows at the moment.
How did they get here? It should be related to the exploration activities of the Inca Swarm.
Because they no longer live on the fluff ball, but on another... tumbler, and the Inca swarm... has always wanted to explore the void.
They had encountered some strange things, and Lin thought that some of their troops might have been on this bus.
