Lin Feng had originally thought that the mechanical life form collected by Jin Henry was similar to Martine's Transformers or the robots in science fiction movies.
But at first glance, their external appearance was not much different from humans.
They wore simple clothes and had skin similar to humans, but the metallic inner structure exposed from their necks or joints indicated their non-human identity.
The first similar image that came to Lin Feng's mind was the character Shubi from the anime.
Yes, all of them were similar to Shubi's image, not different types of images within the entire Exospecies.
Behind the force field, pairs of eyes watched Lin Feng.
The scene was somewhat eerie because their gazes were exceptionally cold, devoid of any trace of emotion.
"Stand by here."
After dropping a sentence, Lin Feng, holding Ophelia, flew out of the cabin and headed towards the force field.
However, before he could fly far, the transparent force field suddenly emitted a faint glow.
Furthermore, in Lin Feng's path, a void twisted and appeared in the middle of the force field.
At the same time, a devoid-of-emotion voice came.
"Welcome, new faction leader…"
The mechanical life forms showed no hostility, opened their defenses, and stood behind the force field, waiting for Lin Feng to enter.
Very good, no hostility.
Lin Feng didn't stand on ceremony and quickly flashed into the force field.
As soon as he entered, Lin Feng found that the scene before him had changed.
A mountain covered with various metallic equipment abruptly appeared before him.
Clearly, the force field also had the effect of confusing vision.
Lin Feng slowly landed on the ground.
The group of mechanical life forms also landed on the ground.
They formed a circle, leaving only a moderately sized area where a female mechanical life form with a semi-transparent, ruby-like object embedded on her forehead stood.
The female mechanical life form stepped forward two paces and gave Lin Feng a stiff smile.
"Hello, new faction leader, I am the controller here, Guang."
Saying that, Guang walked up to Lin Feng and extended her hand.
Guang? What a distinctive name, or perhaps a codename?
Looking at the hand Guang extended, Lin Feng pondered for a moment and shook it.
This mechanical life form species even has a handshake etiquette? Peculiar…
"Analysis indicates that this is a social etiquette among humans, and perhaps I am not doing very well. Please do not mind, leader."
Guang tilted her head and said this with a smile.
Although she said it with a smile, there was no emotion in it.
The entire scene felt desolate, making Ophelia behind shiver.
"Guang? Is that right? It's fine, you're doing very well." Lin Feng had no intention of making things difficult for this mechanical life form species.
However, that was on the condition that they knew their place.
"Is that so? Thank you for your praise, leader."
"The emotions of humans and various beings are something we cannot analyze."
"It seems to have a pattern, but it is not entirely within prediction…"
Guang smiled again, still stiffly.
Lin Feng really wanted to say, "Stop smiling," and that he wasn't interested in their analysis.
"Well, Guang."
"I am here this time to understand something and will not make any changes here."
"I hope you can tell me the truth." Lin Feng felt a bit unaccustomed to the atmosphere and chose to be direct.
Guang's emotionless eyes looked at Lin Feng.
"Leader, you wish to know about the Deadpool they speak of?"
As she spoke, Guang also glanced at Ophelia behind Lin Feng.
Ophelia immediately felt a chill rising from her back again.
These were all mechanical life forms living here, and the temperature seemed lower than elsewhere.
"Oh? You know?" Lin Feng was slightly surprised.
If Guang knew, it could only mean one thing: those Deadpools likely originated from the mechanical life form species.
"However, besides that, I also want to understand some other things, about your species…" Lin Feng continued.
Jin Henry's metal half-body and the infinite energy furnace, Lin Feng wanted to know if they were related to the mechanical life form species.
Guang nodded.
"I will answer any questions the leader has about our tribe."
"However, before that, I hope the leader will allow Guang to tell a story."
"In the story, the leader may be able to understand all the doubts…"
Guang's speech was calm, each word very clear.
Lin Feng tilted his head. Why was she suddenly going to tell him a story?
However, it was quite rare for a mechanical life form to tell a story.
"Yes, but please keep it brief, I have other things to do…" Lin Feng replied.
In reality, he didn't have much to do, but Lin Feng preferred to get straight to the point and didn't like listening to trivial and unimportant matters.
Guang nodded again.
"Since that is the case, please follow me, leader."
"Perhaps in the place where we live, the leader can more easily resolve their doubts…"
Lin Feng happily agreed, as he also wanted to see how the mechanical life forms lived.
This existence, similar to Shubi of the Exospecies, had sparked some interest in Lin Feng.
Guang walked in front, leading Lin Feng towards the metallic mountain.
The metallic mountain was not far, and there was an entrance at its foot.
And Guang began to slowly tell the story of their species.
This narration began from the birth of the mechanical life form species…
Lin Feng's cheek twitched, and he patiently listened.
The mechanical life form species, it was unknown how they were born.
They were born thirty-four million years ago.
And the first one born was the mechanical life form with a female appearance, named Guang, standing before him.
With just two sentences, Lin Feng was astonished.
Thirty-four million years ago?
As expected of mechanical life forms, they could live surprisingly long.
Thirty-four million years ago, Guang was born.
From birth, she was on a planet made entirely of metal.
Besides metal, there was nothing else there.
Guang was in her current form from the moment she was born.
The light on the metal planet was very dim, and there was nothing around.
And Guang did not know what she was or what she should do.
After being born, Guang stood motionlessly on the planet.
Time passed, and the planet continued to rotate slowly in the depths of the universe.
Guang stood there for a full million years…
And during this million years, although Guang was standing, her thoughts did not stop.
Countless pieces of information, like the Big Bang, were born in Guang's consciousness.
And during this million years, Guang developed a strange feeling.
She didn't understand what that feeling was, only that it made her very uncomfortable.
