Chapter 5 Roaming
Accompanied by the roar of an engine that was not actually present, a battleship left the dock of the Wanderer and flew into the starry sky.
So, where will they go? Lin feels that they are not flying in the direction of the cue ball.
No matter what, pom-poms will always be with them...
At the same time, on the other side, on the distant Xumin cue ball.
"What? Explosives? How did it plant explosives in the room?" Inside the headquarters, the general angrily yelled at his soldiers: "Why didn't the system detect it?"
"No, I don't know..." A soldier said tremblingly in front of the general: "The team...the captain and several teammates were blown away in an instant..."
"Ahhh!" the general said angrily: "Hurry up and issue a wanted notice, we must catch it! We must not allow it to escape!"
...So, is this a wanted person?
On the street outside the headquarters, Lin's spies looked at a picture flashing on the wall, which said, 'Dangerous elements possessing explosives, please contact the headquarters immediately.' It also included a portrait of the spy, and
It was written that the finder would be rewarded fifteen thousand virtual coins...
The writing is too simple and feels a bit cheap.
However, I'm afraid they will never find it, because it is too easy to change a face or something.
So now, let’s start exploring here.
The spy turned his head and looked at the streets where people were coming and going... The first step, where should we go? Lin was not exploring everywhere without a goal, but wanted to find something, which was the starter of the 'powerful twisting device'.
It is matched with the teleporter on the battleship Wanderer. If you don't find this, the teleporter alone is of little use.
And where is this thing? It's not in this headquarters anyway, and Lin has seen the information in the three-dimensional images before, but she didn't find any relevant information at all.
And those Xu people who assassinated it didn't know either. Lin felt that most of the Xu people didn't know this information.
Although the general may know, Lin plans to find it slowly and find it more interesting. After all, she still needs to observe the environment here and other things.
What should be solved now is... the problem of breathing.
In the room at the headquarters, Lin felt that the air she breathed was very clear, but when she went outside, the feeling was reversed. The air in this place felt like it was filled with thick, burnt smoke.
In addition, there are a huge amount of debris particles in the air. According to the air processing capabilities of Xumin's lungs, they may cause tracheal obstruction, organ disease and other things if they are exposed to this air for a few days and nights.
.
This is obviously the result of a lack of plants.
Looking around, there are almost no plants in the entire street. Occasionally, one or two dying plants will be seen on the roadside, but no ordinary people will pay attention to them...
How do Xumin live in such an environment?
If you look carefully, their respiratory organs are equipped with something that blocks the breathing holes. This thing is called an 'air filter'. This thing can filter out dangerous impurities in the air.
However, a filter does not last long as it quickly becomes filled with debris. They need to be replaced or cleaned frequently.
So, here you can see...
"The new fragrance filter allows you to feel the sweet smell, longer service life, and lower price! It only costs 998! That's right! You read that right, it doesn't cost a thousand, it only costs 998..."
On the road ahead, a huge square car drove up to the spy, and ads about filters flashed on its side.
Lin had seen similar advertisements before. There were quite a few price changes in the price of filters. Those that required more virtual currency would have better effects, would last longer, and even come with various flavors attached.
However, Lin found that most virtual people like to use the cheapest one, which is about a dozen virtual coins.
Generally speaking, the kind of armor worn by Xumin soldiers is the most perfect, but Lin found that the armor is not something that ordinary Xumin soldiers can have because... the price is too high. In short, it is better than most traffic machines seen on the road.
Much more expensive.
The spy walked to the street, looked around, and then walked in one direction.
On the roadside here, there are many cylindrical objects that are constantly rotating. These are also used to filter the air and are called 'filter columns'.
If you look closer, you can see that there are many small holes on the filter column, which is sucking in the surrounding air and filtering it, but even with this kind of thing, the air here is still so bad.
This is natural, because you can see from the void that metal has covered the entire world. There seems to be no jungle or anything like that. The sky here has always been gray. Although there are aircraft in the sky to expel the thick fog,
However, the effect is not very great, all it can do is to "make the metal city on the ground visible in the void".
Seeing these environments was very interesting at first, but now Lin wants to see other creatures here. She can't travel for so long and only see the virtual people... In fact, this is also the main purpose, to update
The purpose of visiting more places is to see more abundant creatures.
If you want to see it, you should go to the seaside. Thinking about it, the spy headed towards the seaside.
Walking through the streets with densely populated Xumin, Lin could clearly feel that the emotions of each Xumin were very similar. In fact, they... had no special emotions. It felt like... because for a long time
I keep repeating the same things and have become too lazy to think of anything special.
"Sure enough, this is the state of life."
On the pom-poms, the scholar is also looking at the condition of his own cue ball: "These people have basically turned into machines that keep recycling."
"So you can turn yourself into a machine at random, that's awesome!" The alloy spider not far from it suddenly made a leader's voice.
…………
Although the scholar lives on the Wanderer, he often studies the life style of the cue ball, so he is dissatisfied with this kind of life.
By this time, the spy had approached the seaside.
The location of the ocean had been seen when she was in the void. This city was built on the seaside, so Lin also remembered which direction it was in.
However, we should have reached the seaside here, but we couldn't see the ocean, only a huge building.
This building is shorter than the surrounding tower-shaped buildings, but it is quite large. It seems to be a place called a 'factory'. It is surrounded by tall walls. There is a virtual citizen standing at the entrance.
The spy walked near the entrance, and the virtual citizen immediately asked: "What are you doing here?"
"Visit." The spy simply replied.
"Visit..." The virtual citizen hesitated for a moment and said, "Okay, you can go in. I heard recently that there are bomb demons coming out. It seems quite dangerous, but I don't think you are that suspicious."
Bomb Demon... This name is really interesting, but it seems that the factory is not a place that cannot be entered. Spies are mainly used to "experience life", so they generally do not need to move in stealth mode.
After approaching the factory, you can clearly smell the smell of the ocean in the air.
The factory building as a whole looked like a huge square metal. There were many doors under the walls. After Lin found a door and entered at random, a strong smell of the ocean wafted towards her at the same time...
However, the taste is a bit 'deteriorated'.
The smell of the ocean is usually associated with plankton, but Lin only smelled one kind of plankton in this smell.
That's because, in front of the spy's eyes, there is a huge pool.
The pool extends for more than a hundred meters to the end of the building. There are many metal bridges on the pool, and many virtual residents are walking around on it. At the same time, there are various machines extending from the roof, in the pool
At work, the most common one is a wheel-type machine, which is constantly rotating in the pool.
At the same time, the roof emits a strong light, illuminating the entire pool.
The spy approached the pool, fished out some water and drank it...
Sure enough, there is only one kind of microorganism in the water here.
Next to the pool, you can also see a three-dimensional imaging device, and you can see a lot of records written here, such as production volume and so on.
It turns out that this is the microorganism they cultivate...
Previously on the Wanderer, Lin had seen many, many creatures bred by virtual citizens. The only characteristic of these creatures was their extremely fast growth rate, and it seemed that the same was true for these microorganisms.
This is a kind of algae microorganism. It seems that the virtual people are using light to accelerate their growth. Through various mechanical management, this factory seems to be able to produce huge amounts of algae every day and night. These algae seem to be sent to a certain place for processing.
into food and then sell it.
Because the sky outside is too dark, they can only use their own lighting to allow the algae to grow.
Xu Min's main food should be this kind of food, but Lin thinks this place should lead to the ocean.
"Hey, what are you doing over there?" Suddenly a virtual citizen came over from the bridge of the pond.
The spy ignored it and jumped directly into the water.
"Hello--!!!"
The shouts of the virtual people above could be heard in the water, but the spy dived deeper.
The water here seems to be quite deep, more than ten meters deep, and the bottom is sloped, so it gets deeper as you go down.
There are also various machines floating in the water. You can see a rotating light-emitting machine, which seems to be responsible for lighting the algae in the water, but it is not as bright as the one above. Maybe the algae at the bottom don't need such strong light.
Bar……
The spy quickly swam deeper, and like a fish, the spy opened its mouth to filter the water.
Except for a small amount of other fungi occasionally found, this water is almost entirely filled with algae, and the density is quite high. No wonder they can produce so many every day and night.
When the spy reaches the end of his swim, he can see a transparent wall, and outside the wall seems to be the sea... Although, there is a big gap between what he imagined. (To be continued...)
