No. 2612 Life

The Normal Void is a dangerous place for many species.

The same is true for flowers.

They are a very 'pure' tunneling species.

Although he could leave the tunnel and enter the normal void for a short period of time, he could not adapt to the void environment for a long time.

So not long after entering the normal void, the Return Flower found that its kind began to die one after another...

But there is nothing wrong with it itself, probably because it has been modified by the manufacturing device.

It wanted to lead the herd back to the passage, but found that the entrance and exit they had come out of before had disappeared.

It had no way of returning to the tunnel and could only watch its companions... perish.

Gradually, it became the only one left in the entire flower species.

It looked at the corpses of its own kind... and fell into deep thought.

To be precise, it collapsed. Seeing the entire species being destroyed... it felt quite sad.

It spent a long time looking at the corpses of its own kind, and these corpses would not rot in the void, so it could look at them for a long time.

At some point, it suddenly came up with an idea.

It began to...eat the corpses of all its kind around it.

Flowers do not feel "disgusted" by the corpses of their own kind, but they do not usually have the habit of eating corpses.

This action seemed to be a sudden thought...it didn't know why it had this sudden thought.

But after eating, it found that its body had grown a lot. It seemed that it could devour its companions like Explosion... and grow infinitely.

But it didn't think about growing up or anything. After eating its companion, it suddenly felt not so... sad.

So it began to wander around in the normal void and continued its drifting life.

In the normal void it encountered many things that were not found in the tunnel, and also had some strange encounters.

What impressed it most was that at some point it encountered a... world.

This world looks exactly like it, that is, flower-shaped, but it is quite huge, with a diameter of tens of thousands of kilometers.

After approaching this place, it also discovered the 'truth' of this place.

In fact, this is made by a manufacturing device.

After it escaped, the manufacturing device continued to assemble the giant flower.

As it approached, it saw the manufacturing equipment located on the surface of the huge flower.

In fact, there is not just one manufacturing device at this time, but many. It doesn't know where the devices get so many materials, nor does it know why they are in the normal void.

But this group of manufacturing devices is indeed still constantly constructing this huge flower world.

It didn't come close, it just observed from a distance, and then continued to float away.

The flower then drifted for a while...during which time it ate almost nothing.

However, because its own...nutrient reserves are very sufficient, it can survive for a long time without food.

But it thought that this might not be a good thing, so it tried to find food in the void.

While it was floating, it found some edible substances, but very little... But after continuous searching, it found a place with plenty of food.

These edible substances floated in the void in the form of huge floating rocks. After discovering this place, it lived here.

During this period, it didn't do anything special, just staring at the starry sky.

But its life did not remain stable for long.

Because its territory was invaded by a group of creatures.

To be precise, we were invaded by a bunch of aircraft.

These aircraft are from the Void Empire.

They came here mainly to mine minerals, but after discovering such a large creature here, they immediately prepared to attack the flowers.

The flower itself had very poor combat capabilities, but fortunately at that time it sensed some...space gaps nearby.

It attacked these Imperial aircraft by entering and exiting the gaps, and successfully destroyed many of them.

But the imperial aircraft also fought back, and the last few large aircraft directly crashed into the flowers. The self-detonation of this aircraft almost destroyed the entire flower.

They almost died together, but in fact neither side died so completely.

Two small Imperial aircraft escaped during the battle, and although the flower was blown to pieces, some of its key parts were still there, such as its neural structure.

And what's even more interesting is that the flower discovered that it could control the parts of its body that were blown apart.

This surprised it very much...so the flower began to try to practice carefully controlling these parts of its body.

It found some ways to make these parts grow new structures, such as some organs that can move in the void, and also some organs for eating.

It doesn't know why it can grow these organs, it seems that they will grow as long as it... imagines them.

But it can only grow some simple basic organs, and it has no way to make these fragments grow more complex structures.

But at least the fragments are all able to move on their own.

These scattered body fragments slowly grew into some "creatures" with independent abilities under its will, but were still mainly controlled by its nervous system.

While it was conducting various tests... the Void Empire returned here again.

Flower now believes that it should be able to deal with the Void Empire better if it disperses, and its originally huge body will easily become a target.

But the Void Empire did not come here to fight it this time.

The Void Empire sent three warships, one of which tried to "play" various languages ​​non-stop.

These languages ​​are all the communication methods of void creatures recorded by the Void Empire at that time.

Most of the flowers didn't move, but as the show continued... the flower discovered there was one that it could understand.

The Void Empire said that they came here to... communicate, and these languages ​​contained various friendly words.

The Void Empire itself is "cautious", that is, if it encounters any new... species that are intelligent enough in their definition, the Void Empire does not advocate attacking but mutual understanding and communication.

The flower found the Empire's behavior strange, but it gave up the idea of ​​attacking and decided to communicate with the Empire instead.

Of course it sent some pieces of meat to communicate with the Empire.

During the communication, Huaduo learned about the Void Empire, a huge... empire.

The Empire told it that what had happened before was the mining team's private actions and had nothing to do with the Empire itself, and they said that the Empire was friendly.

The flowers also recognized the empire's "friendliness".
