Chapter 267 Trapped

"Destroy it...completely...make it disappear."

"Make it... disappear!"

Countless 'voices' are echoing in the mixed void.

Along with these, there appeared a large number of 'fog balls'.

They looked like balls made up of thick fog, each more than thirty meters in size.

These things have been attacking Ersh since a while ago.

They appeared from the surrounding void, crashed towards Ershi, and landed on the surface of Ershi, while "saying" some... very angry words.

It looked like these things were extremely eager to kill Ersh.

But what’s interesting is that their impact does not cause any directly visible damage to Ersh.

When the fog balls fall to the ground, they will dissipate instantly like real fog.

And at the surface location where Ersh was hit, some debris will slowly gather.

These debris can form some strange shapes, some of which look like small mounds of earth or sand castles made up of sand and stones.

As more and more fog balls fell, these strange buildings piled higher and higher.

Ersh did not stop them, but just observed the situation.

These fog balls are the cause of the destruction of the past safe zone civilization. They are called "Aliens"

The main way they destroy the safe zone civilization is... to launch fog balls into all the territories of this civilization.

The area hit by the fog ball will "mutate", which is what Lin sees now, with many strange objects appearing.

That is, small hills made up of various stones, sand and other things, and they themselves are as easy to break apart as real hills.

But if left alone they will grow bigger and bigger, making everything around them soft.

Including the surface and surrounding buildings.

Eventually, as these polymers continue to grow, they'll make everything around them extremely fragile... and ultimately cause them to completely collapse.

Civilized creatures generally try to find ways to solve this phenomenon, but usually there is no solution.

As mounds continue to appear on the surface, the various creations of civilized creatures will become increasingly fragile over a long period of time.

They can only constantly renovate and maintain buildings and various creations, and slowly these creatures will find that the world they live in has become riddled with holes under the influence of the aliens.

This is how the aliens attack other civilizations. Lin can find some records here. They have destroyed several civilizations.

Generally speaking, they are similar to Evaporators, which are constantly corroding everything within a civilization's territory from a tiny level.

The last thing they destroyed was the civilization in the safe zone.

The reason for their appearance is mainly the worship of the mixed void by the civilization in the safe zone.

The safe zone itself is not very complex, its main effect is to cause very slight disturbance to many organisms that approach.

This interference will make them feel like "subconsciously avoiding this place".

In this kind of interference, creatures will not feel anything strange, and this interference has always protected the safe zone from being invaded by any powerful creatures.

Although it is unknown how many species of creatures it can affect, it seems to have successfully protected the safe zone for a long time.

The emergence of aliens is due to the civilized creatures' worship of the mixed void.

One of their acts of worship is to try to send a message to the Hybrid Void, causing it to open its vortex to welcome them.

They built a lot of different signaling devices and stuff, and they were constantly trying to send signals to the location of the mixed void.

These signals were not received by the mixed void itself, but by the surrounding fragments.

The broken plants at that time would absorb the teleportation energy, not just the surrounding ones, but also the teleportation energy outside the safe zone.

Or rather, it is the mixed void itself that is attracting.

In short, the signals that civilized creatures kept trying to send were transmitted to the void outside the safe zone through energy transmission.

Then, it was received by the alien.

Then the civilization in the safe zone was destroyed, and the aliens were unable to leave the safe zone.

Because they entered the mixed void.

The one who treated the aliens like this at that time was Ershi.

At some point, Ersh returned to the safe zone, captured all the aliens, and put them into the mixed void.

At the same time, Ersh also learned about the situation of the civilizations in the safe zone, and then put the historical records of these civilizations into... the mixed void.

Therefore, it is here that Lin can learn about the history of the past safe zone.

After wandering around in the mixed void for a while, Lin found many buildings and other things here. There were records of the past on these buildings... The records were mainly in the language of the bus.

“…They still remember me.”

Currently, these alien creatures seem to be very angry and attacking crazily because they remember that Ersh once captured them.

What’s more interesting is that the words spoken by these aliens were also translated by Ersh.

Ersh had left a translation device here before. When the aliens launched an attack, this translation device would be activated... and translate what they were thinking.

To put it simply, after the demise of the civilization in the safe zone, Ersh came back again and in addition to putting the aliens here, he also constructed a lot of things inside.

Maybe Ersh has reassembled the mixed void. The longer you walk here, the more you can see... things made by Ersh.

These aliens are just one of them.

Their attacks seem meaningless on the surface, but in fact they do have some effect, and can cause Ersh to slowly collapse from the surface.

...if Ersh does nothing.

At present, Ersh is indeed doing nothing. He is mainly recalling what happened here.

It seems that after entering this place, Ersh's memory recovered much faster.

Lin felt that if Ersh recovered fully, he might... become completely different from what he is now.

Because it has done many...interesting things in the past and planned a lot for the future, its thinking and knowledge will be very different from what it is now.

Lin wasn't sure if they could still be so...friendly.

Although Lin had thought about this a long time ago.

Now Lin has many fluff balls in the mixed void, and some of them have successfully flown to... the location of the alien's main body.

The aliens' fog balls are their weapons, and their bodies are similar to dream creatures.

From the outside, it looks like a huge, translucent floating object.

They floated in the mixed void filled with thick fog, and when Lin noticed them, they showed a different emotion towards Lin than that shown to Ersh.
