Chapter 2865 Eye of the Storm
"Yes...the second and third troops are on their way."
"What do you mean they're hiding? We're the only ones who can hide here!"
"Really...hiding it?"
Lin's Veronica and Noah are currently in hiding.
This is the 101st underground cave. Like the upper level, this is also a cave covered with gravel. There are also many...that kind of creatures here.
Lin temporarily calls this kind of creatures "half-crab people". They are like a combination of Ershi people and crabs, and like to use weapons like "swords".
This creature is essentially similar to the previous 'wooden stake', a creature with soft internal organs, but without liquid components.
There are quite a lot of them. Lin can see hundreds of them at the moment. They are running around quickly in this cave... They really want to find Veronica and Nuo.
It's just that they're hard to find.
Because Lin and Nuo just found a...ball.
The ball looks like a miniature model of the bus, but it's actually an... 'eye of the storm'.
Ersh said that the enemy used this weapon in that war, and its function was to interfere with the bus's transmission ability.
It itself does not have the ability to use teleportation energy, but if there is a bus controlling the teleportation energy near it... then this thing can interfere with the energy. If the surrounding energy is very strong, it can also allow the energy to form a space storm.
It had formed a small space storm inside the egg before, and Ersh believed that this was the result of it interfering with the energy of the war bus.
Normally, such a small 'eye of the storm' would not be able to interfere with the bus, but this bus has already turned into jelly.
The bus's nervous system was no longer able to control its own organs. Ersh felt that the bus's jelly-like transmission organs were still functioning somewhere underground.
Although it is unknown why it is moving, this ball uses the transmission energy of the bus itself to form... a small space storm around it.
This can effectively protect itself.
Of course, its most important function is to send information... It stores information about the Bus War and sends this information to creatures that come into contact with the egg.
Ersh said that it was originally designed... If the eggshell broke or some creature forced its way in, it would destroy itself and prevent other creatures from obtaining it.
When it maintains the space storm, it can keep itself in a safe position in the center, but it can also make this...safe position disappear at any time and let the space storm destroy itself.
It was supposed to be like this, but just now it blew up its egg and ran out...
The reason is still unknown, but it is also because of this that Lin and Nuo can catch it so easily and try to...investigate it.
This 'Eye of the Storm' itself is a kind of intelligent machine, a weapon made by creatures that once participated in war.
This organism is called a 'melt link'.
It is said that these creatures are a kind of "super-specialized species", and this name was given by a unique creature on a bus.
They are very good at assembling various weapons in an instant and are very difficult to deal with on the battlefield.
For example, this ball is a weapon they designed.
In other words, perhaps the cause of all this is this species called 'Melted Link'?
But not necessarily.
Ersh believes that perhaps only their technology was preserved, but the species itself was not preserved.
Because Ersh felt that this ball... was not made by the 'Melten Chain', but by another creature.
According to war memories, this ball is different from the one made by "Melten Link" in many places.
The ball itself is made of bus structure, but 'Meltchain' does not make things with bus structure.
Although their functions are exactly the same, there is almost no difference.
That's why Ersh was reminded of the creature called 'Molten Chain', but maybe it has nothing to do with 'Molten Chain'.
In short, during the investigation, Lin and Ersh have discovered... where this ball came from.
In fact, it is receiving some...information from a distance, and Lin has already discovered the point where this information is sent.
The next step is to go there with Ersh to take a look.
There are other things going on at the same time.
Those are the creatures called half-crab people.
Lin discovered that they...did not have normal perception abilities.
These creatures rely entirely on... the perception ability of this war bus itself.
Except for the first one that appeared, the half-crab people that appeared later were all wearing armor, and their armor was filled with a jelly bus structure.
This structure is actually the sensory organ of the bus.
Ersh thought that they must have cut off the jelly-like sensory organs of the bus and distributed them to each...soldier.
These structures are still alive even after being cut off, and can cooperate with their armor to play a...sensing role.
As long as they wear this armor, they will have a bus-like perception ability to quickly detect the surrounding space.
However, Ersh only needs to adjust the surrounding transmission energy to make them unable to sense it.
Nuo still has some ability to adjust.
Therefore, they can't find Lin's Veronica and Nuo now...
But the most amazing thing is that if they don’t wear armor, they will be completely unable to sense their surroundings.
They have no other sensory organs, only some "neural interfaces" on their bodies to connect to the armor.
If the armor is removed, their world will be like solidified void... pitch black.
The one that appeared first was a little different. It had sensory organs.
Lin thought they were a very interesting race, and there were huge numbers of them here.
Ersh decided to get rid of them all in order to save the bus.
At the same time, you should also go to the source of information of "Eye of the Storm".
In that case, let's start taking action.
"Bang!"
At this time, Nuo had already rushed out... and kicked the half-crab citizen closest to it directly away.
The other half-crab people immediately aimed their weapons in this direction, but... they never fired.
After all, they had no way of finding Nuo.
"Where the hell are they? Catch them!"
These creatures began to behave very panicked... They also used the language of the bus, but it was not "encrypted", so Lin and Nuo could receive it.
"ah!"
Next, they began to scream... one after another.
It didn't take long for most of the half-crab people to fall to the ground, while the rest fled deeper into the cave.
