Chapter 313 Objects
"This void doesn't really look like the void, even though it isn't the void to begin with."
A spacecraft is flying in the sky one thousand kilometers above the earth's surface.
This aircraft was assembled from previously modified aircraft. All the aircraft were fused together to form something that did not look like an aircraft at all.
From the outside, it looks like a sphere made up of a large number of aircraft parts. There is a huge engine at the bottom of the sphere to provide power. As for the cockpit inside, it is a vast space. The surrounding walls and the ground are made up of a large number of screens that display the scenery outside.
Lin and Sharin are flying the aircraft here.
Everything outside was dark, there were no stars, nothing seemed to exist... as was most of space actually.
But what is somewhat amazing is that in the void one can detect the gravity and some other signals emitted by nearby tumblers.
However, the tumblers cannot be seen, and it seems that only these signals are located alone in the void.
Of course, there is something else besides signals.
When the aircraft flew more than 100,000 kilometers above the earth, you could see quite a few Ershi people floating here.
Of course they are all dead, and none of them are complete. Most of them are just some parts, and the relatively complete one is only half a body.
"Oh, this looks really scary." Looking at the corpses floating outside, Sharlene said, "There are so many suspicious things here."
When the aircraft approached the corpses, it opened an opening at the head, and a large number of mechanical troops made of chairs or other things flew out to inspect and study the corpses.
Lin discovered that these Ershi people...had all lived on the surface.
When on the surface, Lin went to many places, including some places where the Ershi people lived. Although they were no longer there, some things they left behind could still be found, such as dandruff.
These corpses floating here are the ones that have dropped dandruff. They should have come here from the Chaos battleships and lived on the surface for a while. As for how they came to the void, no one knows.
There are no aircraft or similar debris here, only hundreds of incomplete Ershi people floating here.
After testing for a while, the aircraft continued to move forward. Occasionally, some Ershi people could be seen floating around along the way, but not as many as the hundreds that gathered at the beginning.
At the same time, Lin also saw... the target she was looking for.
This location is more than 300,000 kilometers away from the earth's surface, and there are some larger floating objects here.
These floating objects are also incomplete objects. They look like... some huge skulls of the Ershi people.
These giant skulls are more than ten kilometers in size, with silver metal shells. Through the eye holes, one can see that there are many building-like structures inside.
Lin thought that it was possible that the Ershi people or something else had built a city in it.
"This kind of thing is quite common in comics." Sharlene said, "Maybe it has something to do with cognition?"
The moment Sharin finished speaking, the mouth of the huge skull slowly opened, and a strong light emanated from inside.
"Could it be that... it also has this trick?"
'boom'
A dazzling beam of light shot out from the skull's mouth and headed towards Lin and Sharin's aircraft.
The aircraft dodged by moving to the side a second before being hit.
The skull was now also rotating along with the aircraft, and it was trying to hit the aircraft with a sweeping beam of light, while its eye sockets were also lighting up.
It seemed that its attack power was quite strong, so Sharin also turned on... all the firepower systems on the aircraft.
This flying machine, which was assembled from airplanes, had many openings all over its body, and a large number of bullets flew out of them and shot towards the huge skull.
Although Lin felt that these randomly assembled missiles would not cause any damage to the skull, Sharin still fired them all.
Most of the missiles hit the 'face' of the skull, their explosions failing to leave any marks on the metallic, shiny surface.
Some others flew in through the eyes and mouth. Because there was a short interval when the skull emitted the light beam, the missiles took advantage of this interval to fly in.
'boom'
An explosion occurred inside the skull, and the aircraft was hit by the beam of light shot out from the skull's mouth again. In an instant, the entire aircraft turned into smoke and dust.
"It seems that the randomly assembled things are not very useful."
Sharlene and Lin were now sitting in a chair, quickly flying towards the skull.
This skull seemed unresponsive to small flying objects like Lin and Sharin, so it easily reached the skull's...eye holes.
The diameter of the two eye holes is hundreds of meters. If you stand at the edge of the eye holes and look inside, you can see... it is indeed a city.
The inner walls of the skull are covered with numerous structures that look a lot like coral.
And inside the skull there are many things flying around, including Ershimin... who is still alive.
So Lin and Sharin also flew in.
Nothing here reacted to the sudden intrusion of new creatures. It seemed that the defense mechanism here would only be triggered when an object as large as the aircraft approached.
Lin and Sharin were floating inside the skull, looking at the various intentional flying objects around them. These things were very diverse, some looked like marine life, and some looked like stones or something.
They are generally tens of meters in size, but there are also very small flying objects like the Ershimin.
Now...Lin is approaching an Ershi people.
"You..." When the floating Ershimin saw Sharin and Lin floating over in chairs, it instantly looked shocked.
Because there is air inside the skull, its words can be conveyed.
"Hi." Sharlene said, "You are from...what?"
"What?" Ershimin asked in confusion.
Sharlene continued: "Are you a resident here? Or were you captured here, or..."
Before Shalin finished speaking, Ershimin asked, "No, how do you stay normal?"
"normal?"
After chatting with this Ershimin for a while, from its description, it seems that it has been completely assimilated by 'cognitive doomsday'.
After complete assimilation, it never saw any of its own kind again, or it could be said that its own kind were no longer the same as before.
Moreover, it could not understand any words said by its "kind" after the change. At the beginning, there was a large group of Ershi people together, but after the change in cognition, most of them went crazy, and those who survived were scattered.
This is the first time it has seen Lin and Sharin act so 'normal' after the change... Ershimin.
Although Lin and Shalin are not Ershi people.
