Chapter 86 Shortcut?
'Shortcut' is indeed a 'crusher'.
It is like a space tunnel, about one million kilometers long, with a large amount of debris floating everywhere.
There are a lot of fragments, they are of different sizes, and each piece is at most several kilometers apart. Lin's spherical battleship moves among them, while also studying the fragments here.
The debris here includes fragments of various land masses, as well as the bodies of rovers.

Lin investigated the scattered fragments and found that they were mainly torn into pieces.
Lin believed that after the landmasses came in, they were pulled around by some huge force until they collapsed completely. Lin found that the largest fragments here were about three kilometers in size. Perhaps fragments smaller than this size would not be pulled, which might be the reason why Lin's warships were safe.

But Lin felt that if they continued to move forward, they would encounter some other dangers, which would prevent anything from passing through this shortcut.
If this place is safe to pass through, the breeding creatures should be able to discover it and run in.
As for the fragments of the rover's body, they were quite special. Lin had a warship approaching a piece of rover's debris.

It is more than one kilometer in size and looks like a piece of blue, fuzzy meat. If you look closely, you can find that the 'fuzz' on its surface are several meters in size and are constantly twisting, much like caterpillars.
After observing for a while, Lin discovered that these "caterpillars" would fall off and twist and float into the air.

Although the environment here is similar to the void, it can move towards some surrounding fragments by constantly twisting. After a while, Lin found a "caterpillar" landed on a nearby building.
This building looks like a metal lighthouse, more than 600 meters high. The entire tower is covered with round windows of various sizes, and strong light continues to shine from the top of the tower. It was originally part of the ruins of a building on a certain landmass. Now that the landmass has been torn apart, it seems that it still has energy to operate here.

Lin discovered that after the "caterpillar" landed on the lighthouse, many of the windows on the tower opened and many things crawled out of them.
They were completely black with six slender limbs, and were three meters in size. The moment they appeared, these creatures rushed towards the caterpillar. The moment they came into contact with each other, these dark creatures all merged into the caterpillar, and then the caterpillar began to slowly change its shape.
Lin discovered that it had turned into a creature with six limbs like the thing that crawled out before, but its color was still the original blue and did not turn black.

Then Lin discovered that this caterpillar, which was no longer a caterpillar, looked very confused. It first looked around, and then crawled into a window of the lighthouse.
Lin also sent out some miniature soldiers from the warship to observe it. The interior of this lighthouse was mainly... a dormitory.
There were a large number of rooms suitable for six-limbed creatures to live in, and the transformed caterpillar found one of the rooms. After entering, it found some food in the room and started eating.
Lin has also seen this phenomenon in some places around. The "meat blocks" of those rovers will grow some tiny parts that look a bit like caterpillars, and then these caterpillars will twist and fall off and float to the surrounding land fragments.

As long as the debris they come into contact with has buildings, there is a high chance that some black objects will emerge from these buildings, which will 'merge' into the caterpillars, and the caterpillars will become...local creatures.
That is, it is a creature that once lived in this building. Although its body structure is still that of a wanderer, after the transformation is completed it will also feel that it is a creature living here.
Then they will first show surprise and fear at the surrounding situation, and then try to survive here.

This feeling is quite interesting. In this shortcut, the wanderers seem to have become breeding creatures. Their corpses slowly generate former inhabitants of the landmass, and then survive in this fragmented place.
However, their life here is much more difficult than that of the breeding creatures outside, because there are very few resources on these torn land fragments. Lin has already discovered quite a few dying 'resident wanderers'.

The reason they become like this has something to do with those black things. Those are not living things, but large amounts of... data.
They will suddenly appear when the wanderer touches some buildings, and then merge into the wanderer, inputting the memory of local creatures into it and also making the wanderer change into the appearance of local residents.
This phenomenon is very common in the beginning of "Shortcut", but it becomes rare after flying over 100,000 kilometers.

There are still a lot of fragments here, but they are somewhat different from the previous wanderers' bodies that looked like plump pieces of meat, while the wanderers' bodies here seem to have dried up and become shriveled.
Of course, wanderers are not cellular organisms and they do not have water in their bodies. This is mainly because the "supporting force" in their bodies has disappeared.

At the same time, they will no longer breed any caterpillars, so after 100,000 kilometers, the environment here becomes very "quiet".
There are no living creatures, nor any other moving things. There were many buildings and energy sources some time ago, but all the buildings here have stopped functioning.
Lin's spherical battleship passed through this area, which probably extended to the center of the "shortcut". A very long area was filled with this kind of silence.

It was not until she was almost at the middle area of the shortcut that Lin discovered some moving things... They were all buildings, and they were all buildings with strong mobility, such as fortresses with flying engines, construction factories with huge mechanical arms, and moving space stations.
Lin discovered that all these buildings were moving in one direction, which was the direction Lin was heading - deeper into the shortcut.
Those with flight engines can move very fast. What's more interesting is that the mechanical factories are also trying to grab the debris floating around and move forward. Although the efficiency is very low, they are still trying.

When Lin was about to test them, she suddenly discovered... a storm was rising in the distance.
This "storm" suddenly appeared at the entrance of the shortcut. To be precise, it was not a strong airflow, but a mysterious and huge force. The moment it appeared, all the land fragments began to stir violently. At the same time, the storm spread throughout the entire "shortcut" at an extremely fast speed.
Lin suddenly felt that these buildings seemed to be built to escape the storm.
