Chapter 3101 Bottom

"...very...cold..."

This is deep underground.

The Star Flame People and Lin's Fluff Balls came here not long ago.

Before that, their aircraft fell into a deep pit underground as the ground collapsed.

This deep pit is not very far from the surface, just over one kilometer.

The Star Flame People's aircraft was very sturdy, and after falling such a long distance, it suffered almost no damage.

However, the people of Star Flame are now facing a very...difficult situation.

That is...

"Why is it... so cold... and I can't move..."

The cold was spreading inside the Star Flame People's aircraft.

All the Star Flame people here seemed to be frozen and could only make very slow movements.

The light in their bodies became dimmer and dimmer, and it seemed as if it would go out at any time.

Of course, the Star Flame People's aircraft have excellent insulation measures... In fact, even if they are in the void or some very cold place, they will not be affected by the external temperature.

So this coldness comes from within them...

All the Star Flame people seemed to start to get cold the moment they fell, and their body temperature dropped sharply.

And they don't know what's going on.

Although their temperature can still easily burn cellular organisms into ashes, it is already a very low temperature for them.

They could solidify at any time in this low temperature.

What solidified and froze faster than them was the Flame Planet.

The Flame Planet was cooling down before it fell...after it fell, it had completely turned into a solid object.

Not knowing whether this means death for it or a chance of resurrection, Lin thinks that warming them up may help them revive.

The same is true for other Star Flame people.

Lin looked at the Star Flame people here, one after another... becoming motionless, as if they had transformed from movable armor into real... armor.

Even though the last Star Flame Citizen was trembling and trying to move its body, it slowly stopped all movements.

However, not all Star Flame people remained motionless.

At their feet, there were some... cubs crawling.

There were the same number of cubs as their companions who had died in the previous battle, a total of 16.

Lin found that they were still running on the ground full of energy, and these cubs now looked very much like... brain-making monsters.

To be precise, it's like the 'snow brain monster' that we saw outside before.

They have six limbs, an ellipsoidal body and a mouth full of fangs... However, this mouth does not lead to the body.

It seems to be just a long shape.

Their bodies were in the same extremely high temperature state as those of the Star Flame People... However, Lin discovered that the moment all the Star Flame People were frozen, these cubs began to improve their internal environment.

They lower the temperature inside their bodies, yet still maintain a liquid state.

Now the Star Flame people have stopped moving because their bodies are frozen.

But this group of cubs...it can be said that they have completely changed their internal body state into an environment where they will not freeze even in low temperatures.

This allows them to run around here.

It is said that cubs will not acquire the memories of the deceased so quickly, so this group of cubs seem to understand nothing.

This group of cubs were still looking at the Star Flame people who had become motionless with confusion.

They have some protrusions similar to 'eyes' growing on their shells, but Lin is not sure whether they have vision.

In short, these cubs seem to have adapted to low temperatures very quickly.

Lin is still unclear where this low temperature comes from.

It looked as if something hidden had... attacked them.

Or there may be some other possibility, after all, Lin was not 'ambushed'.

In addition to Lin, Lin discovered that the Star Flame People and the inside of their aircraft were all frozen.

Under such low temperature conditions, the aircraft cannot be started at all.

Was it the database? Or...

Anyway, let's go out and investigate first.

Because the location where the aircraft fell... is also a large underground environment.

To be precise, it looks like an underground snowfield, similar to the previous one, but somewhat different.

The three-kilometer-sized aircraft looked like a huge platinum-colored fortress on the ground.

And next to this platinum fortress, there are many... small fortresses.

On the surrounding snowfields stood many...hemispherical objects of varying sizes.

The surfaces of these objects are covered with green patterns, similar to the buildings inside the capture ball.

Unlike the buildings seen underground before, the previous buildings were of a different type and were generally frozen to the ground with only a portion exposed.

But the ones here are all of the same type, and they don’t look like they are frozen here, but built here.

The same goes for the cave ceiling above.

There are many hemispherical buildings on the top of the cave, but there are no huge icicles on the top of the cave.

Lin has already let the ball fly out of the aircraft... and arrived in front of the nearest hemispherical building outside.

This building seems to have no entrance. It has a diameter of more than 30 meters and is made of very solid material.

So, Lin tried to dig a hole on the surface, drilled into the building and began to detect the environment inside.

However, Lin found that there seemed to be nothing special inside.

The building is solid, and the interior is exactly the same as the shell, with no special construction inside.

In that case...it's rather strange.

"It's here! What are you looking for? We need to find our home. Do you know where our home is?"

At this time, Lin discovered a group of... Star Flame cubs running out.

The 'entrance and exit' of the aircraft is the only part that is not frozen, and they can enter and exit freely.

They seemed to be able to speak, of course, in the language of the Star Flame People.

However, they do not seem to inherit the memories of those who died before.

"We want to go home." Lin found that the group of cubs surrounded the ball of fluff.

"Go home?" Lin gave the pompom a luminous function similar to that of the Star Flame People, so that she could communicate with them.

"Yes, this is our home." A cub said, "But it's too big, and we don't know where it is exactly. So... can you help us find it? If you find it, you can get a good reward!"

"Yes! There are rewards!" the other cubs also said.

"Okay." Lin responded.

"That's great! Let's start looking in that direction!" As she spoke, Lin saw the group of cubs running towards one place.

Lin felt that the low temperature might have caused changes in their thinking.

It seems... like it has really become a cub.
