Chapter 333 Civilization and Biology
There are always many abnormal phenomena in the void. Lin has seen many of them and tried to understand a lot of them.
But there are also many phenomena that disappear without any way or opportunity to understand them.
And now, some...creatures have been seen in some of Lin’s bases in the normal void.
These creatures suddenly appeared in the void and looked like a fleet of some individual creatures, mainly composed of ships hundreds of meters in size.
Since there were no similar civilizations near Lin's bases, Lin tried to contact them.
But when approaching them, Lin found that they suddenly disappeared.
They were actually teleported away, using common teleportation energy...but their destination was unclear.
After something was teleported, Lin could detect where it was teleported to, but the fleet did not notice it.
Or rather, it can only be detected...the place where it teleported is nothingness.
After that, Lin had seen similar situations elsewhere in the void far away, and saw all kinds of creatures that had not existed before appear.
Lin discovered that although these things were different, they all had something in common...that is, they had a logo.
This symbol seems to represent 'Pioneer of Destruction'.
The symbol is not a pattern engraved on the surface, but a special kind of "energy" that Lin can also sense.
In fact, this kind of energy is not uncommon in the solidified void, but it has never existed in the normal void before. Even if some solidified creatures enter the normal void, they will not bring this kind of "energy".
Now Lin can feel that something strange seems to have happened in this void.
And the granular creature seemed to want to tell Lin this kind of thing.
The granular creatures spent most of their time observing... the situation in the void.
The Devouring Star is continuing its conquest. What it did at first was very simple, which was to keep looking for places with resources and then collect all the resources there.
This is a very long journey, and it may take tens to hundreds of years to find some place where living things gather.
However, since they have entered a static void, the civilized creatures living above can extend their lifespan by keeping themselves still.
Although this creature can live for a long time without staying still.
Following the Devouring Star, it witnessed the extinction of groups of creatures and the destruction of one ecological region after another.
By acquiring a large amount of resources, the Devouring Star created a large number of troops, and at the same time it continued to increase its size. It seemed that it was going to devour forever in the void.
Civilized creatures keep themselves still most of the time, and they set up some special activities to wake themselves up after a long time.
Most of the time when it wakes up, nothing happens. Occasionally, it will encounter the Devouring Star attacking some biological gathering areas, and then it will study it carefully.
And after waking up one day, it discovered that... the Devouring Star was at war.
A large number of creatures are attacking the body created by the Devouring Star on the Devouring Star, and the body is being defeated.
These husks don't have any weapons, probably because they have always been dealing with weak wild animals.
And the one attacking them was a very regular army.
This group of creatures looked like turtles, with four limbs and a disc-shaped body. They were about the same size as the Ershi people. Their shells were almost completely wiped out in the first battle. However, this group of creatures did not seem to realize that the shells were made by the Devouring Star, so they did not attack the ground beneath their feet.
As for the husk, it killed several creatures with its huge numbers and successfully dragged them underground for research.
Civilized creatures also participated in this research.
This is a very dangerous moment for civilized creatures, because it looks exactly like the body, and the enemy's army is wandering around the surface at this time, and there is no telling when they will search underground.
Therefore, it and this group of bodies hurriedly studied the enemy's corpses to see if they could provide any help.
After researching it was quite surprising.
This creature is covered with a solid shell, but that is not its body, but the armor it wears.
It is much stronger than any armor or even buildings previously made by civilized creatures and is a very strong composite material.
This armor is "transformable". It can be extended by the controller and a total of six weapons can be ejected.
It includes two weapons that look like chainsaws, two weapons that look like guns, and two sharp ones that look like fangs, which can inject small creatures into the enemy.
Their guns can fire two types of ammunition. One is called "inactivation bullet", which can form a small static field after the explosion. This is the opposite of the dynamic field. The static field can make most moving objects ineffective, and the other is ordinary penetrating and killing ammunition.
At the same time, the armor has some other functions, such as "static injection". If a part of their body is injured, this can be used to temporarily still the part to protect the wound. If the damage is too much, the whole body can even be stilled. Of course, in that case, help from companions will be needed.
With such sophisticated equipment, even if they only sent a few thousand of them, they could defeat an army of hundreds of thousands of husks.
The few we killed were mainly because they were left alone for some unknown reason, and we constantly surrounded them and used up the energy of their armor.
Although civilized creatures are surprised by their assembly, it is not incomprehensible.
Of course, the same goes for the Devouring Star.
Taking advantage of the fact that the enemy was small in number and could not search the underground quickly, the Devouring Star began to build a second batch of shell troops.
This time the shells are much stronger. They are also made of similar strong composite materials, and... they are not worn on the body, but the body itself has this strength.
At the same time, they are equipped with many weapons.
Although civilized creatures were unable to dissect them for research, when this army was formed and walked onto the surface, it clearly saw their combat capabilities.
Their fighting strength is almost equal to that of the enemy, and they can achieve a one-for-one exchange.
After both sides opened fire, a large number of people died on both sides.
It’s just that the number of constructed shells was several times greater than that of the opposite side, so it was no surprise that this group of invaders was defeated.
Because they captured some prisoners, the civilized creatures tried to communicate with them.
Their languages were completely incomprehensible, so communication ended in failure... but the civilized creatures soon understood them better.
As the Devouring Star continued to move forward, it soon reached the territory of the invaders' civilization.
Their civilization looks quite interesting, mainly built around a huge 'cave'.
This cave is like a huge space entrance, and their buildings are built around this entrance.
