Chapter 102: Scum Land

This is a vast land.

A thick layer of gray dust accumulated on the surface, spreading to the farthest end of Veronica's vision.

This place...Lin thinks it should be called 'Dust Desert'.

Veronica is now standing in the desert, and behind her is the data room that has been cut in half.

Lin came here not long ago.

While the parliament members were paying attention to the metal fragments falling from the sky, Lin asked Veronica to drag the data room and fly into the void.

Because Veronica herself is the core of thinking and her thinking ability is very strong.

If you use 'Mind Movement', you can also reach a fairly fast speed, so you can fly upwards dragging the data room.

When flying to the edge of the 'atmosphere' of Dreamland Ersh, Veronica suddenly felt as if she had experienced a very long period of time.

Then... we arrived at this place.

It seems that the 'jump' was successful, but Lin doesn't know where this is, nor does she know whether those members of parliament will also jump here.

Looking at the Mini Ersh in her hand, Lin found that it had stopped working.

This is because Ersh is too far away from the dream world. Lin has a way to restart it, but it is not possible now... At least the data room has to be repaired.

So, Lin came to the cut hall and threw Miniersh into the hall.

Veronica then turned around and embarked on a new journey towards the dusty desert.

This place has gravity, but it is relatively weak compared to that in the dreamland, only about half.

Lin felt that this was also a place related to the normal void. Looking up at the sky, it was pitch black and there was nothing there, so there should be a huge floating object or something like that.

The dust on the ground is the 'dream residue'.

It can also be said to be the excrement of various dream creatures.

When dream creatures absorb other dream energy and transform it, they will also produce certain waste products. Usually, dream creatures do not have special excretory organs, and these waste products will float out on their skin in the form of dust.

It was the first time that Lin saw so many dream residues gathered together. They accumulated on the ground...perhaps more than a hundred meters thick.

Of course, these residues cannot be used as materials for repairing the archive.

So you need to look everywhere.

Moreover, the previous activities were too intense, and Veronica herself needed to replenish her energy.

But I don’t know where to find something suitable in this desert... Looking at a towering sand dune in front of her, Veronica walked over there out of boredom.

After reaching the top of the sand dune, Lin looked into the distance... Soon Lin discovered that there were ten objects moving slowly three kilometers away.

They look... a bit like the leg balls we encountered earlier.

The only difference is that they are not balls, but a pyramid-shaped body with two long and thin legs at the bottom.

Their pyramid bodies are more than two meters in size, and more than five meters tall including the legs.

These creatures wandered slowly across the dust-covered landscape, and they themselves were grey in color.

So Lin thought they could be called... gray legs.

After watching for a while, Veronica walked towards the group of gray legs.

They walked for more than two kilometers and they didn't react at all until they approached within a hundred meters of them. Then these gray legs seemed to notice Lin.

They turned around and walked towards Veronica.

These things walked very slowly, taking almost three seconds to take a step, and each step only covered a distance of one meter.

Watching them coming, Veronica picked up a ball of dust from the ground, compressed it tightly and threw it at them.

"Pah!"

The dust ball hit the nearest grayleg.

The gray-legged man suddenly reacted strongly. He first let out a scream. This scream was different from that of the leg ball... The scream of the leg ball was very close to that of the Ershimin, while the scream of the gray-legged man sounded like a siren.

At the sound of its voice, the other gray legs quickly scattered, and the screaming one also walked in another direction.

They walked much faster, one step per second, but Lin still caught up with them easily at this speed.

Veronica caught up with the gray leg that was hit, and when she got close to it, Veronica jumped directly from the sand and landed on its pyramid body.

When Veronica jumped up, the gray-legged creature let out an even sharper cry, and its shell was also pierced by the hair.

When Lin examined its interior, she discovered that this gray leg... contained a large amount of dream residues in its body.

However, there are also some complex mechanical structures inside its body, which are obviously its internal organs or something.

So, Lin started to disassemble these structures using hair.

As Lin used her hair to dismantle many of the structures inside its body, the gray-legged creature also made a variety of screams.

Finally...it fell to the ground.

This is different from the usual dream creatures. It is a creature whose internal operating system is closer to that of normal void creatures.

After it fell, Lin examined it carefully.

Grayleg is indeed a creature that feeds on these residues.

There is a hollow at the end of their legs. With every step they take, they absorb some debris from the ground and then transport the debris into their bodies through their hollow legs.

Next, it converts some of the residue into its own energy through a complex system within the body.

Not all residues can be transformed. Although the residues on the ground look similar, they actually have many differences.

These gray legs will only transform certain scraps, so they are constantly moving around, looking for suitable scraps to eat.

This creature is quite interesting... Of course, it can serve as Lin's food and repair material.

But Lin felt that she should learn and create a residue conversion structure for it, so that she could decompose more...basic energy.

If we want to repair the data room by capturing gray legs, we will need to capture hundreds of them.

Obviously there aren't that many here, but since there are this kind of creatures, there must be other creatures here. All we have to do next is look for them.

Next, Lin also captured the other nine escaped gray legs and dragged them back to the data room.

These gray legs will not move if their internal organs are disassembled, but if they are reassembled without damaging their internal organs... they will move again.

Because of this interesting characteristic, Lin can store them instead of killing them.

However, Lin still decomposed half of the gray legs and used them as materials to make a...means of transportation.

This will make it more convenient to move around.
