Chapter 103: The Crowd

"Are you sure there's one of your kinds down here?"

Standing on the edge of the cliff that has never changed, Lin Ling stretched out her head and stared at the bottomless valley below.

"Hmm...... I'll sense it again. ”

The flesh machine beside her also looked out, but the robot was so small compared to her body that most of its vision was blocked by rocks.

Lin Ling's gaze moved up again, looking at the top of the cave.

Dozens of blurred objects hanging upside down from the roof of the cave are hidden in the shadows, and the windless automatic appearance seems to have lost a layer of film.

And I don't know if it's Lin Ling's illusion, she always feels that these unknown objects that can't see the outline clearly seem to be closer to the avenue than at the beginning.

This made Lin Ling have some bad premonitions.

She twriggled slightly, fingers hanging at her sides, sharp claws stretching out as if they were moving.

"Hurry up then."

Looking away from the object at the top of the cave, Lin Ling turned her head to a machine that had floated to the middle of the valley.

Now the reason why Lin Ling followed this little thing to the edge of the cliff is that the word "compatriot" accounts for a large reason.

Knowing the nature of this flesh machine, she could easily guess what the so-called "compatriots" were.

Anomalously infects individuals or viral organisms.

Or rather...... Apostle.

After thinking about this, the instinct rooted in Lin Ling's mind made her give up her original plan to recover her body without hesitation, and instead began to explore below.

In particular, the apostles of mature bodies generally have the ability to travel across worlds, and if the conditions are met, they can cross the world and then hatch in the form of juveniles.

Like locusts, they continue to spread in the new world until everything is eaten, polluted, and harvested by the high-latitude lifeforms that created them, the ancient gods.

So she had to put an end to this potential danger.

And at any cost.

"Alright."

As Lin Ling fell into deep thought, the flesh machine also finished confirming, pointing downward.

"Everyone seems to be trapped underneath by an unknown energy field, and we may be able to help them."

The flesh and blood machine, which couldn't read the emotions of the body, didn't guess Lin Ling's thoughts at the moment, but still said naively.

It wielded the three longest blood-colored arthrops on half of its body, and the wriggling muscles on it swayed up and down with the organs at its waist that resembled the arms of a human baby.

It stared at Lin Ling's empty face without blinking with its three bloodshot eyes, and the latter's face was constantly drifting away from the black smoke in its huge pupils.

Its expression was full of anticipation and request.

Lin Ling tilted her head not to look at the tentacle half of the flesh machine's face.

Even though she knew that this thing was caused by herself, a sense of disgust still rose from the bottom of her heart.

“?”

Unable to see Lin Ling's expression, the robot still felt her discomfort.

It sits on its lower body, resembling a bug's wing-like structure, slightly erected, revealing its octopus-like tentacles and trying to wrap itself around Linling.

"Is that okay?"

Without much thought, Lin Ling directly dodged the tentacles stretched out by the flesh machine.

Let the latter be a little sluggish for a moment.

Lin Ling didn't look at the object's expression, and glanced at the object that was getting closer and closer above her head.

The vague shadow also had a rough outline as the distance approached.

It was a film-like object that resembled a human being, and two band-like objects hanging from the main body swayed slightly in the air like human arms.

As the distance progresses, the frequency of the swing also increases significantly, and even ......

Stretch.

Lin Ling looked at the long belt that was only a few dozen meters away from here, clenched her fists slightly, and then released it again.

She didn't know what these things really were, but judging by the flesh machine, it seemed that these strips had nothing to do with the old gods.

So the biggest possibility is some weird species that naturally inhabit subspace.

It's not a good idea to play with them now.

Especially now in the case of the possibility of an apostle at the bottom of the broken bones.

Lin Ling was a little suspicious that the giant hole in front of her was the location where the ancient gods had descended that caused the spatial dislocation.

"Let's go, then let's go and help our compatriots first."

The blackness of her body began to stir, and a huge bulge appeared on her back, and finally a pair of snow-white moth wings broke out of it, followed by a pair of bee-like arthropods.

The black thread hung from it, quickly falling to the ground and blending into the shadows on her feet.

Lin Ling turned her head to look at the extra arthropods, frowning slightly, but she didn't force anything more for her own unstable physical state.

Her current state can be regarded as a part of the ontology, and the unstable nature of the ontology as a chimera is naturally reflected in her body.

Therefore, it is inevitable that some extra limbs will emerge during the construction of instability......

Glancing at the stunned flesh and blood machine on the side, Lin Ling flapped her wings and slid down without saying much.

"Wait for me!"

The latter also hurried to follow.

But neither of them paid attention, but after they left, the black shadow hanging upside down on the roof of the cave writhed a little.

One by one, the pupils that looked like human eyes opened one after another on the roof of the cave, densely occupying the rocks, looking down together.

"Can you feel the general range of" compatriots "? ”

Lin Ling, who slowly descended downward, asked the flesh machine beside her.

As it descended, the whole picture of the black soil and rocks in the rift valley gradually appeared in front of her.

The deeper you go, the more spacious the space becomes, gradually expanding to both sides like a trapezoid, until now, it is a little impossible to see the edge.

But she still saw no sign of the bottom of the rift.

Perched on a protruding rock, Lin Ling looked around.

"This side, this side is very inductive."

The flesh machine waved its three arthropods and beckoned, floating farther down.

Lin Ling was about to spread her butterfly wings and slide down, but the sudden pain made her almost fall off the rock.

She turned her head to look at the cracked mouth that appeared on her shoulder at some point, the jagged teeth in it opening and closing, and the black tentacles sticking out.

"Come on."

The Flesh Machine beckons below.

"Right now."

Lin Ling calmly held her shoulder with her bone claw, and pinched it hard—crushing her shoulder fiercely.

The black liquid slid from her fingers, and when she let go of her hand again, the writhing shadows began to coalesce again, returning her shoulders to their original state.

Without another look, she slid down, following behind the flesh machine.

As time passed, the height decreased, and Lin Ling gradually saw signs of the bottom of the rift, and at the same time, a strong sense of material distortion also came to her face at this moment.

It was very easy for her.

It's completely different from the feeling of being squeezed in the ruins, and it seems quite relaxed and free.

But this horror also means that the infection here is quite serious......

She followed the Flesh Machine to a bloodshot door, on which some wonderful motifs were engraved.

"Behind this." The flesh machine said to Linling.

Behind?

Stroking the surface structure of the gate, which was somewhat similar to human skin, Lin Ling just wanted to exert force, and felt his hands suddenly loosen.

The door opened automatically......

Just as Lin Ling was hesitating whether to enter, a slightly familiar voice came from inside.

"Come in, guests from afar."

……

[I've done what you said, so can you take me to Linling now?] 】

The system that escaped from the safe zone with the help of the secret passage provided by the metal plate AI was standing in the passageway, speaking towards the camera next to it.

It has been laid out as the sheet metal AI says.

[Wait a minute.] ]

Blocks of microrobots emerge from the wall, eventually forming a diamond-shaped three-dimensional geometry floating in the air.

[I'll go with you.] ]

[Why?] 】

[Because ......]

[The person I'm looking for is also there.] ]
