The End of the Paleozoic Era Chapter 1982: Strange Earthquake

'boom!'

"Hurry, get to the elevator! Get out of here!"

The tremors underground continued.

Lin, Bilu...and many other students were running in the underground square.

This was mainly because some very dangerous alien creature had appeared before, and its activities caused huge shocks underground.

Although Lin had not seen this creature yet, the roar it caused had already frightened most of the students in training... These students fled their training areas and returned to the square, running towards the only way to leave here... the elevator.

"Veronica, why don't we deal with it?"

Although Bilu was following Lin, it really wanted to deal with the alien creatures, so it kept turning its head to look.

Lin felt that it should have a chance to deal with it, after all...

"The elevator seems to be broken! No way? Find a way quickly! Contact the teacher!"

A group of students blocked the entrance to the elevator. The elevator door was a heavy metal door that could not be opened at all, and there was no response when it was touched.

Most of the doors in this academy are opened by touch. Even if they cannot be opened by touching... a screen indicating insufficient permissions will pop up.

If nothing happens when you touch it, that means... there is a big abnormality.

After all, many doors have backup batteries, and there is no such thing as a dead battery. There are only two reasons why it won't display: one is that it is damaged internally... and the other is that it is closed.

"Let me get it out of the way!"

A student wearing a glove weapon walked to the entrance of the elevator, grabbed the gap between the metal doors, and tried hard to pry the doors open.

"Boom!" Another tremor caused the student to give up his action, as he wanted to avoid a piece of debris that exploded from the ceiling above.

"Bang!" The fragment was more than three meters in size and made a heavy sound when it hit the ground... and it wasn't just that it fell.

More fragments fell from the ceiling... Many of them fell into the crowd of students, forcing them to disperse.

The ceiling of this underground area... is too fragile.

While Lin and Bilu were dodging, they were also paying attention to the situation above. Although it felt like it fell off due to vibration, Lin felt that the vibration was not very big. Why did it destroy this place so easily?

Lin thought there was something...strange about this.

"You can go in from this place! Veronica!" Bilu and Lin quickly ran to the corner of the square... There was a door leading to another training ground.

Looking at the collapsing square, Lin felt that... now the only option was to enter this place.

…………

"here it is……"

After entering, Lin and Bilu saw a very large place.

This place looks like... a swamp.

The air was filled with mist, and the ground was moist, soft, and covered with low plants.

This training ground is for training a type of equipment called 'Phantom Lens', which is a pair of glasses with the ability to see through things.

It allows you to see the surrounding situation clearly even in a thick fog swamp like this one, and is considered the most practical type of equipment among most.

"It seems safe here, Veronica-san. Should we wait here for rescue or go fight the monster?"

"Rescue..."

She raised her hand and looked at the watch on her wrist. Lin had been paying attention to it since a while ago.

The watch has been in a state of no signal, and there is no way to know the situation in the academy above.

But generally speaking, if something so big happened down there, the academy would definitely send out rescue operations quickly.

I just don't know if it's a common situation.

"Ah!" Bilu suddenly screamed. At the same time, Lin also saw a... creature suddenly jumped out from the swamp in front of it?

This creature looked a bit like a rotten Ershimin corpse, and it also emitted a corpse-like stench, which frightened Bilu very much, so Bilu chopped off the head of the corpse with a sword.

"Gu..."

Lin found that the headless body was still crawling slowly on the ground, so Lin went over to check it out and found that...

It's just a machine.

It's just made to look like a corpse, and the smell and appearance are done particularly well.

This mechanical corpse is not part of the training content and may have been placed here for other purposes.

And there seem to be a lot of them around here...

"Wow! Veronica-san...that's disgusting!"

After seeing a large group of corpses staggering out of the swamp, Lin decided to... check what was going on with them.

In fact, these corpses are all under command, and the signals that command them...Lin can detect them.

"This way."

Then, Lin pulled Bilu and ran in one direction.

"Where are we going?"

Lin and Bilu ran quickly between the swaying corpses. The corpses seemed to be made to look realistic, so the movement was very slow.

After bypassing them, Lin took Bilu and ran towards a tree in the swamp.

Because the entire swamp is filled with low plants and this tree is the only tall plant, it looks very suspicious.

"If they come, take them out."

After walking under the tree, Lin poked the bark a few times... and sure enough, a picture popped up.

"Hey? You want me to deal with them? That's too... Well, since it's for Veronica!"

Bilu drew the blade at her waist towards the approaching corpses, while Lin continued... adjusting on the screen.

This tree is actually a signal tower that can send instructions to the surrounding machines... and some things can be investigated from it.

Just like before, you can also see the situation in other training grounds here.

Lin wanted to see where the alien creature that caused the vibration was, so she checked the situation of all the surrounding training grounds.

But...Lin did not find any alien creatures, she only saw students running around.

And those... machines that were chasing and attacking the students.

The machines that were originally made to look like various training creatures now seem to have become extremely aggressive.

As for the real creatures, they were not very aggressive and instead tried to hide.

Lin felt that perhaps the vibration was not caused by alien creatures, although Lin also thought it was caused by alien creatures at first.

But now it seems that there should be another situation... because Lin found that many facilities here, such as the elevator, could not be used... not because they were damaged by the earthquake, but because they were turned off.

'Bang, bang, bang, bang!'

Just then, Lin heard a noise.

A large number of bullets...flew towards this side.

Lin jumped away from her original position, dodging the flying bullets, and at the same time saw...

The people who fired the bullets seemed to be a group of Ershi people that Lin was familiar with.
