The End of the Paleozoic Era Chapter 1996: In the Cave

"Veronica-san...they're coming!"

This is a...dusty cave. Lin and Bilu came to this place not long ago.

This is where the research team is hiding. It is a large underground cave environment, full of passages and various rooms, and there are also many... members of the research team.

Just as Lin knew before, this group of research team members seemed unable to carry out the next teleportation, so they all stayed in this base.

But... this also makes them not so easy to deal with.

"Over there!"

Bilu and the spy are now hiding in a room, from where they can hear footsteps approaching outside... A number of Ershi people are chasing after them.

"What should we do, Veronica-san? Let's just go and take care of them!"

"Wait a moment." Lin stopped Bilu who wanted to rush out. These people in the research group were not as easy to deal with as terrorists. Although they seemed to be Ershi people who had not undergone any enhanced transformation, their equipment was still very sophisticated.

"But if we continue like this, we will be caught by them!" Bilu said, "Could it be that Veronica wants to do the same as last time..."

"Use this." Lin took out the lightsaber from her waist and said, "This is very effective."

"Isn't this only able to cut that kind of energy?" Although Bilu was confused, she followed Lin and took out the lightsaber.

"Yes, you can also apply energy to the other party."

After saying this, Lin stepped out of the room. The moment she came out, she saw more than a dozen Ershi people running towards her. These Ershi people were wearing armor. Lin recognized the model of this armor... It was very difficult to cut through it with Bilu's original weapon.

They were holding a weapon called an electric baton, and it seemed that they had no intention of killing Lin and Bilu... This could be put to good use.

"They are there! Catch them alive!"

The leading Ershimin shouted and swung the electric baton in his hand. The stick, which was originally several dozen centimeters long, suddenly stretched to more than one meter in length. Ershimin stabbed him fiercely with it.

But before it stabbed Lin, Lin swept its head with her lightsaber.

The shining 'blade' of the lightsaber penetrated the helmet of the Ershimin without any hindrance.

"Ah? Wow! Wow!" Ershimin made a strange noise and then rolled to the side.

"Did they absorb it with that sword...Ahhh!" The second Ershimin who was a little confused was also hit on the head by Bilu's lightsaber, and then it also... fell to the ground.

"Water! I want to drink water!" A second later it crawled up again and crawled away at a very fast speed.

"Everyone be careful! Don't get hit!" Seeing this, the remaining Ershi people hurriedly retreated, waving their electric batons as they retreated, trying to fight at a medium distance and prevent Lin and Bilu from getting close.

But...Lin threw the lightsaber out while spinning.

"Ahhh!" Three Ershi people were swept across the head by the rotating lightsabers. They also made strange noises and crawled away crying.

"They really absorbed the spiritual essence there!" One of the last five remaining Ershi people picked up the lightsaber thrown by Lin and said, "But now it's ours."

"But it will still explode," Lin said.

"What?" Er Shimin was shocked when he heard this and quickly threw the lightsaber in his hand back to Lin.

"I was kidding." Lin picked up the lightsaber.

"Hahaha, what a bunch of idiots!" Bilu pointed at a few Ershi people and shouted, "How could this explode?"

“…Catch them!”

The angry Ershimin and his four companions rushed up again, but... their fate was similar to the previous ones.

As long as they are hit, their nerves will be greatly affected, and then they will be unable to continue fighting.

However, the biggest problem is these Ershi people...Lin feels that they are somewhat mentally ill.

This may be because they often deal with dream energy.

In fact, before being chased by them, Lin and Bilu had been to a special room here. That room was a place where... dream energy was stored.

"Hehe, there's no way these idiots can beat us, right, Veronica-san."

"Let's go."

Looking at the Ershi people crawling all over the floor, Lin and Bilu quickly left here...but they did not go towards the exit, but ran towards a room they had been to before.

Lin and Bilu explored several rooms before they were discovered and chased by the Ershi people here...

In one room, there are many 'experimental psychoactive substances' produced by them.

That is dream energy. The experiments on dream energy have been going on all the time, and all of this energies come from the dream creatures that attacked the academy at that time and were taken from the bodies of students.

Initially they used this dream creature to try to create a 'soul' for the Ershi people, but the plan failed because it only had a similar effect on birds. But later the Ershi people also continued to study these energies.

Their research direction is similar to before, mainly focusing on influencing the spirit of the Ershi people.

And there are many different ways to change the energy of dreams... and there are quite a lot of different types of changes.

The various dream energies that have undergone changes can have different effects on the Ershi people. The research team has given these energies a series of numbers as names.

But none of these things can improve the intelligence of the Ershi people. They will only make them mentally ill, and it can only last for a short period of time.

"What are we doing back here, Veronica-san?"

Lin and Bilu arrived at a room. The walls around the room were lined with neatly arranged... jars over one meter high, and each jar had a name on it, like 11b, 11c, and so on.

"Add to that."

Lin turned off the lightsaber and connected the hilt to the top of the jar...there was an opening there that fit perfectly with the lightsaber hilt.

The lightsaber can extract dream energy from here, and then... use it to kill the Ershi people.

This will allow the dream energy to enter Ershimin's brain, causing him to become mentally ill.

Although it can only last for a few hundred seconds, it allows Lin to do a lot of things.

"They are back here again, and we won't let them get away this time!"

At this time, there was another sound outside.

Because this is a temporary base, there are no traps or weapons in the corridors, and we can only rely on a group of Ershi people running around to chase.

And now... Lin has extracted all the energy and is almost ready to launch a counterattack.

Of course, Lin’s main purpose is not to react, but to use this energy to do something special.

For example...activating some special 'vehicles' in this base.
