The End of the Paleozoic Era Chapter 2000: Escaped Birds

“Gah gah gah! How scary! Help!”

The days of peace...continued.

"Help! I don't want to see the roast goose... I don't want to grill it... I don't want to..."

In the square in the center of the college, the fragrance is floating in the air.

Students gathered here, talking about the weapons and equipment in their hands, or the roast goose in front of them.

"Veronica-san, most of what we caught last time are here!"

Lin and Bilu were also in the square, like many other students, gathered in front of a... very large cage in the square.

You can see that there are quite a few birds in the cages, and all of these birds were...caught from the amusement park before.

The academy had been trying to... interrogate this group of birds, and now it seems that they have almost finished all the interrogations, so they placed them here.

"Hey, this is delicious!" Many students deliberately took a string of grilled wings or other barbecued parts and ate them here. Looking at the cooked corpses of their own kind, the group of birds showed extremely terrified expressions. The only goose that could talk was also screaming very miserably.

"Haha! You are all evil creatures. You are not an intelligent species at all! You are evil and barbaric!"

I don't know how this goose learned these words. Maybe the translator around its neck translated them automatically for it.

In short, it used all kinds of words to express its anger, but its words only made other students laugh.

"Okay, guys, these birds aren't here for you to play with!"

At this time, a voice sounded, and the students made way... The source of the voice also walked to the cage.

This is a teacher whose body is half mechanized. He glanced at the students around him and said, "These birds will be used in various trainings now. They are very helpful because they have a certain degree of intelligence."

"Teacher!" a student said, "Will using them for training cause any problems..."

"Don't worry." The mechanized teacher said, "Now I'll give you your first task. I'll let them out, and you'll catch them all immediately. There will be a reward for catching the most."

After saying that, the teacher poked the cage door, and the top of the cage suddenly opened with a snap.

The birds inside the cages immediately screamed and flew out, fleeing around the square in fear and excitement.

"It seems very interesting!" Upon seeing this, Bilu rushed out with the surrounding students and pounced on the group of frightened birds.

And Lin... was still there.

"Aren't you going to catch it?" The mechanized teacher asked Lin, "Although it looks like playing a game, this kind of training is very effective."

"I want to know..." Lin asked the teacher, "Did you find out anything during the interrogation?"

"Yes, we have already found out a lot." The teacher said, "There will be a public announcement soon."

“…”

Lin turned her head and continued to look at the empty cage.

It seems that the academy has also discovered something about the research team... There should be new missions or something next.

The main reason Lin is here now...is to investigate these birds.

This group of birds has almost no dream energy left. It seems that the energy cannot be maintained in them all the time and will dissipate after a period of time.

However, their intelligence has not decreased and still maintains an improved level. Apparently, this is because the cells that proliferate with dream energy... will not shrink due to the disappearance of energy.

But what will happen to their offspring?

Thinking of this, Lin walked into the cage and picked up an...egg on the ground.

This is an egg, and the hatchling inside has grown to a certain size. Lin decided to take it back... and see what will happen after it hatches.

The teacher watched Lin's actions from the side but didn't say anything.

"Veronica-san, I caught these!"

Bilu ran back from a distance holding a goose in one hand, and then said to the teacher: "Can I get a reward for these?"

"...Okay, I'll give you two points."

"Only two cents? Not even enough to buy a knife! I need to go catch more!" After saying this, Bilu ran away quickly.

And this time Lin quickly followed.

"Veronica, do you want to catch them too?" Bilu said with some surprise, "We can definitely catch a lot together!"

"Just need to catch one special one."

"Special?"

………………

The activity lasted for a long time.

The students caught the escaped birds one after another. These birds could not fly and they were not very fast, so it was very easy to catch them. The main difficult part was how to carry more birds back with bare hands.

Most of the birds were caught by the students, except... one.

"Gah! I escaped! I'll make them regret it... regret it, gah gah gah! Let me go! Next time, you'll be the ones roasted on the rack!"

"Veronica, what on earth is going on?"

Lin and Bilu were standing in front of a big door that led to an underground place. It had completely stopped functioning. It was originally like this...

However, Lin and Bilu could now see that the door was open, and inside the open door was a large elevator car.

And in the elevator car, there was a goose...standing right in the center.

It looked at Lin and Bilu with some surprise.

"Gah! Damn it! I was discovered! Why was I discovered! I'm flawless! I move without a trace!"

As it spoke, it jumped up and poked the button next to the elevator door with its beak.

The elevator made a ding sound and slowly closed, but before that...Lin and Bilu had already walked into the elevator.

"How did you get here to start the elevator?" Bilu took out a knife and placed it across the goose's neck. "Tell me... or you'll become delicious!"

"Haha! I... I don't know! I can open it, I can open it! I want to go down! And then go back!"

"…Just let it go."

Lin stopped Bilu who wanted to chop it and said, "It knows something."

"Something?" Bilu said, "I know, it must be from that research group..."

Lin had noticed before that this goose was a little special because it had a lot of dream energy in its body, which was different from other birds.

The energy in its body has not decreased, which may mean that it has some kind of...ability.

The same was true in the basement of the academy. Lin could feel that there was some energy in the closed underground area.

Therefore, Lin felt that there was some kind of connection between them.

Now it seems to be true. This goose might be a "prop" to activate some special devices underground.
