Himeko quickly retrieved the sensor data.
"Phew... I thought I was going to have a good fight with those bugs."
March 7th breathed a sigh of relief, but at the same time became interested again.
"Since this world only has a low concentration of etheric energy, we should be able to explore it properly."
March 7th picked up his camera, beaming with joy.
“That’s right. As things stand, the world doesn’t seem too dangerous right now. We can have a few people stay on the train and wait for it to be inspected.”
Old Yang said.
“Walter, you don’t need to stay on the train this time. I’ll take care of it. The culture of this world should be very similar to your hometown. Why don’t you go and take a look?” Himeko continued, picking up where Old Yang left off.
Upon hearing this, Old Yang paused for a moment, looked at the familiar scenery outside, and sighed.
"In that case, I'll trouble Himeko to inspect the train."
Chapter 431 Hollow Meets Nicole
"Ah, quick! There are so many skeletons here, Nicole! They're closing in!!"
The robot gunslinger in the red jacket shouted, his dual pistols relentlessly repelling the strange creatures radiating green energy.
"Billy, Ambly, don't panic. Let's fight off these guys first, then run. Otherwise, if they keep gathering, the pressure will be too much for us!"
A pink-haired girl with an incredibly voluptuous figure shouted crisply, while a burst of energy shot out from her suitcase, gathering the skeletons together.
"Ambi!"
Nicole shouted, and the white-haired girl in green armor swiftly rushed forward, her blade crackling with electricity as she relentlessly attacked the group of skeletons that had been gathered together.
"Great, that's much less stressful now. Let's hurry up, over there, that vintage train, let's head in that direction!"
Nicole gave Ambi a thumbs-up and then gave the order.
"no problem."
Ambi put the blade back, and with a few leaps, she joined her companions and ran towards the vintage train.
"OK, perfect arrival. There don't seem to be any remains here, so it's a good place to rest."
Leaning against the train carriage, Nicole let out a long sigh of relief.
“But Nicole, when did this vintage train appear here? And look at the other trains, they all have different signs of damage, but this one seems to be perfectly intact.”
Billy turned around and looked at the train in front of him with some concern.
Just now, he seemed to have seen those skeletons that were chasing them retreat automatically as if they had encountered something extremely terrifying when they got nearby.
"Who knows? Anything strange can happen in this hollow. Let alone a vintage train, even if a few more people crawl out of it..."
Nicole said nonchalantly.
"Nicole... Boss Nicole, there's something behind you!!"
Billy screamed and quickly pointed behind Nicole.
"what?"
Nicole turned her head with some confusion and saw Bai Zhi looking her up and down.
"Hello, ma'am! I heard everything you just said."
"Holy crap, there's someone in this hole, and a tiny little guy at that!!"
Nicole's eyes widened in surprise.
"...There's no need to be so surprised."
"Little guy, you wouldn't happen to be a cave raider, would you? To be able to move around here so freely without any protective gear, you must have some kind of etheric adaptation."
"The cave raider?"
Bai Zhi touched her chin, unable to recall any recollection of the term.
However, the pink-haired girl and the robot in the red jacket seemed familiar.
"You don't even know these things? Do you usually go online?"
Nicole was somewhat surprised.
"You reminded me... I haven't accessed the internet before."
Bai Zhi casually pulled out her phone.
"There's no network inside the void; etheric energy blocks signals. Wait... how can your phone access the internet?"
Nicole stared in astonishment as Bai Zhi casually connected to the new Elidu network and even browsed web pages on it.
"It's probably because my phone has better specs," Bai Zhi said with a smile.
In the Star Iron Universe, imaginary energy, etheric energy, and all sorts of chaotic energies are spreading throughout the universe. As a basic communication device, isn't it only natural to resist these energies?
On these web pages, Bai Zhi saw many words, such as "rope maker," "new Elidu," and a woman who had left a deep impression on her before—Hoshimi Miyabi.
When she transmigrated, the game hadn't even launched yet. She had only seen some videos of other people playing it and knew some basic things.
This includes the main siblings.
"Are you selling this phone?" Nicole immediately perked up.
This is a communication device that can penetrate the void of blockade. If we could get our hands on it, wouldn't we be invincible?
"I'm not selling it; it contains personal information."
Bai Zhi casually put her phone into her pocket and said.
"Um... little sister, what brings you here?"
"I'm here because this car belongs to my family."
Bai Zhi patted the Starry Sky Train and said.
"what?"
Nicole looked at the train, then at her surroundings.
Using a car as a place to live is quite normal, whether it's a motorhome or a train carriage, it's not unusual.
But isn't this location a bit off?
This is inside the void, a place with an extremely high concentration of ether. Even those of them who are adapted to ether cannot stay here for long.
If Bai Zhi makes this car her home, wouldn't she be staying here forever?
That etheric adaptation to gender theory is off the charts; it could practically be described as a human form made from a skeleton!
"Little sister, you must be joking. If you came here out of curiosity, I can take you out."
Nicole didn't even think about it and took Bai Zhi's words as a joke.
In her opinion, Bai Zhi, who looked very young, must have run away from home without telling her family.
If they could be saved, and parents could afford to equip their children with such phones, they certainly wouldn't hesitate to spend money on Tennys.
"Although the truth is always hard to believe, Nicole, if you can take us out, we will offer you compensation."
"us?"
Nicole paused for a moment, then quickly grasped the key point.
"Yes, I have a few friends here too, and I hope you can take us out with you."
After saying that, Bai Zhi knocked on the train door before Nicole could react.
"Everyone, you can come out now."
"what?"
Nicole stared blankly at the four people who stepped out of the train.
These four people are Lao Yang, Yin Lang, Xing, and March 7th.
Because she felt very apologetic, Ginji volunteered to inspect various parts of the train, and Himeko and Danko were also important helpers in this endeavor.
"Thank you all for your trouble. As for the payment, we will make sure you are satisfied."
Old Yang pushed up his glasses and said.
"Haha...so many customers."
Nicole gave a dry laugh when she saw that there were even more people than her team.
“Chief Nicole, how are we going to take people out? The rope craftsman’s cloth is gone. If this continues, we’re afraid we’ll all be corrupted into skeletons.”
"Billy, if you can't speak properly, then don't speak!"
Nicole turned around and scolded him, then immediately turned back and patted her chest confidently.
"Don't worry, everyone. We're all veterans and very familiar with this cavern. Once my other partner arrives, we'll make sure you have a perfect evacuation experience."
Seeing Nicole's surging waves, Silver Wolf turned his face away in annoyance.
"Just a lump of fat, so big, it'll be difficult to handle missions," she muttered to herself.
Chapter 432 Silver Wolf: Mr. Walter seems to be paying special attention to me?
"The space here seems rather chaotic."
Silver Wolf looked around and said, "Although the ether activity is very low, various spatial coordinates are constantly changing."
"Perhaps it's a characteristic of this world, Silver Wolf. Have you sorted out that system?"
"You mean the system that can also awaken the memory on the phone? It will take a few more days. Perfect timing. Staying in this world for three or four days and replenishing some snacks might speed things up."
"That works too. We've been going through all sorts of snacks on the train pretty quickly lately, so we can get some here."
Bai Zhi thought for a moment, then spoke.
She didn't want to get too involved in this world; her main purpose was to observe the local customs and culture, replenish her snacks and supplies, and incidentally have Silver Wolf take care of that system.
"Nicole, what's that sound like they're talking to aliens..."
Billy, who had also heard these words, scratched his head and said with some confusion.
"What aliens? Even if they were aliens, as long as it makes money, it's perfectly fine!"
Nicole quickly covered Billy's mouth, "The guests are still here, so please keep quiet."
These people who can move so casually in this void must be high-value clients; we absolutely cannot afford to offend them.
"Hehe, gentlemen, it's alright. We are indeed not from around here, so we'll trouble you to lead the way."
Old Yang came out and said to the group with a smile.
Everything here is very similar to Earth, which made him feel really good.
"Haha, it's alright, our Rabbit House also accepts tour guide assignments."
“Nicole, shouldn’t we hire a rope maker for this kind of tour guide job?” Billy asked doubtfully. “We can’t possibly find our way out of this cave.”
"Billy, if you don't speak, no one will think you're mute!"
Nicole's chest heaved violently with anger.
"So, this chaotic area is what's known as the Void?"
Nicole glanced at Silver Wolf with some surprise; how could someone not know such common sense?
Could these people really be aliens?
But then she dismissed that ridiculous idea.
If aliens really exist, how could they all look like humans, all in this form? Especially this silver wolf, this style of clothing is very common in New Ellie.
“The void is a spatial disorder caused by ether, and a rope craftsman is needed as a guide to escape this chaotic area.”
Ambition, who had been silently wiping the blade, suddenly spoke.
"Hmm... Silver Wolf, you should be quite good at this, right? I remember your Ether Editor can open portals directly?"
Bai Zhi blinked and looked at the silver wolf.
