"Let me take a look." Zhang Ren nodded, and then contacted several crew members who were tracking the strange creatures in the battleship, and asked where they were now.
After a while, Zhang Ren knew their location and turned to Lin Lin and said: "Lin Lin, those crew members are now in the bottom area of the battleship and are rushing to the middle area. You should be able to go to the middle area now." I just happened to meet them.”
"Okay, Duan Huan, come with me." Lin Lin nodded, and then asked Duan Huan to go to the middle area with him.
On the way, Duan Huan looked at Lin Lin curiously and asked, "Mr. Lin, what do you think that is? How dare you invade our battleship."
"We don't know yet." Lin Lin shook his head. Although the figure of the thing was captured in the surveillance, it was only a very blurry black shadow. Apart from two blue eyes, there was nothing visible. Other features emerged.
"If you ask me, it's probably some kind of space creature with no eyes. It just happened to happen that our battleship opened the hatch, so it rushed in directly." Duan Huan guessed.
This is the only possibility. After all, if it is an intelligent creature, it will be too late to run after seeing the battleship. How could it take the initiative to run in?
"It's possible, but we won't know until we're caught." Lin Lin nodded.
Seeing that Lin Lin didn't really want to talk, Duan Huan shrugged, stopped talking, and quickly followed Lin Lin towards the middle area.
After a while, Lin Lin and the two arrived at the middle area of the battleship, and happened to meet the crew members who had followed the strange creatures from the bottom area to the middle area.
"Mr. Captain, are you here?" The leader of the crew named Yaqilu came to Lin Lin and began to report the current situation.
It turned out that after the creature discovered that they were following it, it specially picked some narrow pipes to move forward. If Yaqilu and the others didn't know where these pipes led to, they would have lost them.
"Then where is it now?" Lin Lin asked curiously. He had already met Yaqilu and others, but there was no trace of the strange creature here. Did Yaqilu and the others lose it?
Hearing this, Yaqilu pointed to the passage leading to the engine room and said, "That thing ran into the engine room. We were about to catch up when we saw you coming."
"Engine room?" Lin Lin turned his head and glanced at the engine room, then nodded and said, "Okay, without further ado, let's chase in now."
After the words fell, Lin Lin took the lead and walked towards the engine room. Duan Huan, Yaqilu and others quickly followed Lin Lin.
Later, Lin Lin also learned more information about strange creatures from Yaqilu. For example, this monster looked just like a cat on Earth, but its speed and strength were completely unmatched by cats on Earth, and , this strange creature will also use some kind of black mist-like substance to hide itself, and it was almost lost several times because of this black mist.
"We'll call it Mlik for now," Yaqilu said.
"Mlik?" Lin Lin glanced at Yaqilu curiously.
"Mlik is a name for cats in our hometown, because this thing looks too much like a cat, so..." Yaqilu smiled weakly.
Lin Lin nodded: "Okay, let's call it Mlik for now. After we catch it, we will look up the specific name."
"Yes!" Everyone said in unison, the loudness of the voice startled Lin Lin.
Not only Lin Lin, but even Mlik, who was already hiding, was frightened by the sudden roar from everyone. Before Lin Lin and the others could enter the engine room, he got out of it and quickly ran past everyone's feet. .
"Chase!" Yaqilu shouted, and everyone immediately swarmed forward. Among them, Duan Huan was the fastest. When everyone just started, Duan Huan rushed in front of Mulik and blocked its path.
"Little thing, let me see where you are running!" Duan Huan screamed strangely, then squatted down and prepared to reach out to catch Mlik.
However, Mlik's reaction speed was obviously much faster than Duan Huan. Before Duan Huan's hands touched Mlik, Mlik made a beautiful flick, turned ninety degrees and ran in the other direction, causing Duan Huan to Huan lost his center of gravity and fell to the ground.
"Ah! I just changed into new clothes! I'm not done with you, you wait for me!" Duan Huan roared after getting up from the ground, and then rushed towards Mlik's position again.
Duan Huan was very fast, which everyone could see, but what they couldn't understand was why Mlik was so fast, even a few points faster than Duan Huan.
Every time Duan Huan was about to catch Mlik, Mlik made a beautiful turn and left Duan Huan behind.
Because the speed of both parties was too fast, the onlookers Yaqilu had no chance to intervene and could only stay aside and watch quietly.
"Duan Huan, can you do it? If not, just switch to us." Yaqilu shouted, indicating that if Duan Huan can't do it, switch to them. Although they are not as fast as Duan Huan, they are better because there are more of them, one person per person. Direction, it is easy to ask Mlik to block it.
"You're still making sarcastic remarks here, and you didn't even come to help me when you saw me so tired." Duan Huan cursed angrily, knowing that seeing him struggling here to catch him, it would be fine if he didn't help, and he was still talking to the side. sarcastic remarks.
"Stop watching here, go up and help him." Lin Lin said calmly.
With Lin Lin's order, Yaqilu and others immediately geared up, and then rushed forward together, surrounding Mlik.
It is said that there is strength in numbers. After Yaqilu and others joined in, Mlik's speed dropped significantly. Even if the way forward was blocked, it would take a while to think about where it would be safer to run.
Although Mlik was still not caught, Lin Lin could see that Mlik's range of activities was getting smaller and smaller, and it was only a matter of time before he was caught.
At this moment, Mlik suddenly stopped in the middle of the crowd, looking at Duan Huan and others around him warily, and then his eyes became extremely firm like a human being.
Seeing this appearance, Lin Lin suddenly frowned. Does this Mlik have any escape moves that he hasn't used yet?
The next moment, an extremely foul-smelling gas came out from behind Mlik, instantly contaminating the entire cabin where Lin Lin and the others were.
Fortunately, Lin Lin noticed something was wrong in time and put on his own polar night armor while closing the cabin door.
It was precisely because of this that Lin Lin escaped the black mist attack that could be called a biological and chemical weapon.
At this moment, Lin Lin finally knew what the black mist in their mouths was. Was it Mlik's fart?
But, what use can this innate skill have here? This is the universe. The universe cannot even transmit sound, let alone smell.
"System, do you have information about this creature in your database?" Lin Lin asked curiously. He was quite curious about what kind of creature Yaqilu called Mulik.
"Received, the clues are being compared. The comparison is successful. The target is most likely a cat creature called an empty cat. This creature is extremely rare in the universe. Only one male and one female can be found in almost 100,000 galaxies. Two." The system replied.
"Empty cats? Only two can appear in a hundred thousand universes?" Lin Lin immediately became interested. Lin Lin liked this extremely rare creature very much. m.
"Yes, empty cats are extremely rare. They are born with a physique equivalent to that of a galaxy-level pilot. They can grow up to a galaxy-level pilot when they reach adulthood."
"Galaxy level?" Lin Lin was even more interested in the sky cat. If he could raise an empty cat and successfully raise it to adulthood, then if he encountered any galaxy level mecha in the future, he would not need to do anything about it. Come forward and send the empty cat out to solve the problem.
Unfortunately, the system's next words poured a basin of cold water on Lin Lin's heart.
"The growth cycle of an empty cat is about three thousand years. Currently, this empty cat is in its infancy and is transitioning to the growth stage."
"Wait, how many years did you say?" Lin Lin picked his ears. Did he hear it wrong or something? Did the system just say three thousand years?
"Three thousand years." The system answered honestly.
Some people died, but not completely...
