Chapter 377 Disappearance

"Boom——"

This city… has always made this sound, and it’s still functioning.

A ball of fluff was flying on a dark street. All around it were tall, mushroom-shaped metal buildings, and between these buildings were black-painted streets.

There are no vehicles on the streets, but you can see some two-legged machines about one meter tall swaying forward.

Looking up at the sky, you can't see the stars, but you can see a huge tumbler. That is actually Lin's "March". Lin's ball of fluff is floating down from it.

Of course there is not just one, there are many more pompoms scattered around this place.

This is a small corner of the capital of the civilized species that Lin calls "Rift Hunting".

The civilization of the Rift Hunters is located on a broken pipe that is 60,000 kilometers long. This pipe has a crack hundreds of kilometers wide in the center of its body, but this does not affect the Rift Hunters from building their civilization on the body of the pipe.

Lin has been exploring the civilized city of Lielie for a while. Generally speaking, they are similar to common individual biological civilizations. Individuals are divided into many classes. The higher the class, the higher the place where they live. For example, the tops of the mushroom-like buildings around them are spacious platforms, so they look like mushrooms. They are occupied by a few "elites". As for other classes that are not that high, they are squeezed in the "handle" of the mushroom.

Although there are many levels, there are very few internal wars among them, almost none, which allows them to fill the entire pipeline with endless cities.

But what Lin is more concerned about now is that they all seem to be missing.

Lin has sent out many troops to explore the city. Lin found that the facilities in the city are all operating, the lights in the buildings are on, but there are no living creatures inside.

So Lin could approach them easily without being attacked.

There is no longer any Rift Hunter to be found here, only machines wandering around.

These machines are considered the laborers of the Rift Hunters. They undertake various odd jobs, such as carrying things. After the Rift Hunters disappeared, they started to wander aimlessly.

In fact, by detecting these machines, Lin can understand what happened here from their sensory systems. Before, when Lin's March was still fighting with the Rift Hunter's troops outside, the Rift Hunters in this city were still living a normal life. At some point, their perception system suddenly failed. After a while, when it recovered, all the Rift Hunters disappeared.

Lin also found a lot of surveillance equipment and other things in the city, and they all had the same... short period of failure.

All the Rift Hunters disappeared during this malfunction that lasted for hundreds of seconds.

This seemed like a large-scale teleportation. It seemed that all the Rift Hunters were teleported to somewhere. After they left, the city continued to operate, so Lin wanted to investigate the specific situation here.

The situation here is quite interesting, because after a normal pipe dies, its body will not be able to maintain its pipe shape and will collapse. However, this pipe is only broken in the middle, but the whole pipe remains relatively intact, which means that at least its gravity control organ... is alive.

Lin sent a large number of troops into the inner layer of the pipe and began searching for the organ.

There is almost no difference between the inner city and the outer city, but there are some more important facilities in the inner city, such as military factories.

Of course here there are also...gravity organs.

The gravitational organs of pipelines are somewhat different from those of bus-like creatures. The gravitational organs of various buses are very similar, but for pipelines... as far as the ones Lin knows, the gravitational organs in their bodies are different.

This pipeline is the type that is easier to find.

In the inner city of the pipeline, Lin found some huge hemispherical buildings.

These buildings are generally hundreds of meters in diameter. Once you enter the building, you can find that these are gravity stabilization devices.

There are many such buildings, scattered throughout the city inside the pipeline. They are mainly used to stabilize the overall environment of the pipeline to prevent it from cracking.

But what’s more interesting is that these gravity stabilization devices are not the original organs of the pipeline, but... made by Lie Lie himself.

Lin asked some soldiers to investigate many historical record museums and archives of the Rift, so that Lin could understand the history of the Rift in more detail.

This pipe wasn't actually something they had at the beginning, but...sometime.

Originally, the Rift Hunters lived in overlapping spaces. At that time, each space had some large landmasses and other areas for them to live on. After the spaces no longer overlapped, the various landmasses where they used to live also fell apart, but a small number of Rift Hunters still survived. In fact, most of the surviving Rift Hunters originally lived in space stations, large aircraft and the like.

Later, they also lived in the space station for a long time, until... they discovered the pipeline.

This 60,000-kilometer pipeline appeared in their space by chance. It just flew into the space and then stopped. The Lie Hunters discovered that there were a lot of resources on the pipeline, so they began to build a residence on it.

During their time there, they discovered that the pipe was slowly cracking. In fact, the cracking was very slow and did not happen immediately. In the early stages, there were only some earthquake-like phenomena, which then began to intensify.

The Rift Hunters initially tried to repair the broken parts or use stasis to stop the breaking process, but they found that this did not work, so they began to look for other methods.

Through continuous research on the pipeline, they discovered some secrets hidden inside the pipeline.

When the pipeline broke in the middle, they also had the technology to make a gravitational stabilizer, and finally successfully stabilized the entire pipeline. Their creation of this stabilizer seems to be related to the 'pipeline secret' they discovered.

However, this is not clearly stated in historical records.

In short, because they were stable, they did not continue to collapse.

So, Lin also found the place where they stored their secrets - the top secret archive room of their civilization. Because the Rift Hunters had all disappeared, Lin found this place easily.

This place is a space station floating inside a pipe, only more than ten kilometers in size, and it stores some of the core technical information of their civilization.

By investigating these materials, Lin discovered a rather interesting situation.

That was the information about pipelines and stellar pipelines that Lin had seen before in the cognitive doomsday. In fact, it was sent over by the Rift Hunter civilization after they studied this pipeline.

It’s just… they themselves don’t know it.
