Vol 9 Chapter 81: before the shortcut

Lin's 'Shadow Train' was advancing in the pitch-black space.
In the surrounding void, there are many things floating, most of them are seemingly abandoned civilization creations, some are like aircraft, some are like cities, and some other things, and some are like sea creatures.
Lin found a creature with a diameter of more than 300 meters, very much like a starfish, lying on an aircraft twice its size.
This 'starfish' was covered in flickering light spots, and it used a flickering 'tentacle' to slam through what looked like the cockpit of the aircraft, and then other tentacles began to move, and before its combo hit Then, the aircraft was punched with several large holes, and Lin found that something that looked like an escape pod flew out of some of the holes.
They flew high into the air, but were quickly attacked by something else.
There are also spear-shaped objects tens of meters long flying around the starfish. After finding something escaped, they will immediately fly over and pierce each other.
There are similar situations around. Lin found that many creatures grabbed aircraft and other civilization creations, and slowly destroyed it. Lin also noticed that there was a floating city with a diameter of hundreds of kilometers, which was moving on it. There are many creatures like radishes, they roll on it with their bodies of hundreds of meters, crushing buildings.
When Lin's train passed by, these creatures that were destroying civilization didn't care, and continued their actions as if they had not seen the train.
The residents of the destroyed city noticed this, and a large number of cylindrical escape pods flew out of the city destroyed by the radish.
These escape pods were destroyed by a large number of small creatures when they took off, and only a few flew out of the city and flew towards Lin's train.
Lin's train passed through the city, at this time the second carriage was less than a thousand kilometers away from the city.
These escape pods flew directly towards this side, and after being destroyed by some creatures during the flight, they landed on the surface of the second car.
There were thousands of escape pods that took off, but only three arrived in the end. The escape pods were more than ten meters in size, and they fell into the dense jungle on the surface of the carriage.
The escape pod automatically disintegrated into a pile of fragments after landing, and only the creatures inside remained standing. Lin found that each escape pod contained different creatures.
One looks like Ershimin. It has four limbs and is wearing white armor with a metallic luster. Another looks like a floating ball, and the other has six limbs. Insect creatures.
They were all about the same size, about two meters in length, and they wore the same armor, which looked like they were covered with a layer of white metal.
After these creatures came out, they quickly fled their original positions. The creatures that had been intercepting them in the air before did not catch up to the surface of the carriage. Lin thought it might be related to their dismantling the escape pod.
When the three creatures were moving in the jungle, Lin also made some tests on them, and Lin found that they were actually all a kind of... mecha.
There are a lot of mechanical structures inside their white armor, and among these structures are some square 'cabins', and in the cabins there are 'drivers' more than ten centimeters in size.
These drivers are shaped like head bugs, similar to an ellipsoid brain, and they drive these different white armors inside.
It feels kind of fun.
When Lin's train passes through this 'battlefield', a large number of escape pods will fly out of the destroyed cities or aircraft around them. They all target Lin's train, as if they are not afraid of any danger on the train. And they all take the opportunity to take off in large numbers at a time, which makes it difficult for them to be completely destroyed at one time, and some will always fall on the carriage.
After the shadow train moved forward for a while, thousands of creatures had successfully landed on the carriage.
At the same time, Lin also noticed that these creatures are all 'white mechas' on the outside, and the 'drivers' inside will be different. They are all driven by a 'brain' of tens of centimeters, and these brains are not the same species.
Some are cellular creatures, some are of various species, creatures that Lin has never seen before, and what is more special is that the pilot in a mecha is a small green shadow.
Of course, its performance is exactly the same as other mechas around it. After landing, they will first disassemble the escape pod, and then find a place to hide, find a safe place to stay, and find food or something.
The surface of the carriage is not so safe for them, as there are many creatures that Lynn brought from the repaired land mass, and they will attack the white mechs.
Overall a lot better than floating around outside.
Lin detected some biological memories in the mecha, and Lin found that they had almost no memory. The brains in each mecha basically only had some ideas, that is, to avoid those dangerous creatures and escape to a safe place. As for why they did this They don't know.
As for the large creatures that were destroying cities and aircraft, Lin found that they were creatures that Lin had never encountered before, and the internal structure was supported by a strange 'force', similar to the one in the sinker space before. Manipulate the 'power' of the disintegration of matter combinations.
It's just that they are not as omnipotent as the sunken ones, and they can only support this kind of creature to perform physical activities.
It's not that Lin didn't know this creature at all, in fact they were recorded in the survivor's data.
These creatures are a type of shadow creatures, called wanderers by the survivors, and are harmless creatures that don't actively attack anything, at least in the survivors' era.
And now why they attacked these 'white mecha', it is not clear, their thinking is much more difficult to detect than ordinary creatures.
As for the source of the white mecha, Lin already knew, and now the train is moving above this source.
A large number of land masses seem to be crowded together, and they form a tens of thousands of kilometers wide in space next to each other, composed of land masses.
This is a bit similar to the previous maintenance area, except that the land masses here are not neatly arranged, just simply crowded together.
And many land masses have aircraft or other things flying out, and they have also become the main target of attack.
These landmasses stretched more than 100,000 kilometers straight into the distance, and its end just extended into Lin's target location... a 'shortcut' to the shadows of the void.
The shortcut is a huge black hole, which makes the land mass like a 'carpet' extending from the hole.
