The End of the Paleozoic Era Chapter 2026 Going Up

"Bang!"

Lin felt like... she had been hit hard.

This is... what used to be the basement but is now the elevator.

The three-meter-long insect just slammed into it, and the moment the scorpion-shaped mecha was hit... it actually flew out.

Lin felt a strange impact force hitting the outer shell of the mecha, which forced the mecha to fly back a little.

However, the scorpion's tail stinger did not stop, it pierced directly into... the back of the insect.

The moment the insect's body was stabbed, it twisted violently and struggled constantly, while the pierced part continued to ooze out sticky liquid.

This is quite interesting, since there are very few organisms with fluids in their bodies in this area.

Whether they are local creatures or mummies, there is almost no fluid in their bodies.

It seems that this worm is closer to a cellular organism.

"Gurgle...!" Suddenly, the insect twisted off the tail needle and fell to the ground, and this movement also left a large piece of its meat on the tail needle.

Because in addition to releasing small machines, the tail needle can also extend out barbs. Since the small machine has just been released to deal with the Tyrannosaurus mummy, there is no machine that can be injected into this fat worm, so Lin wants to hook it and prevent it from escaping.

However, after sacrificing a large piece of its own flesh, the insect quickly retreated back to the entrance.

"Bang, bang, bang, bang!" Lin took the opportunity to attack it. The left forelimb of the scorpion-shaped mecha was a machine gun. Continuous bullets made holes in the insect's body that splattered blood. However, it did not stop and quickly retreated to the outside of the entrance.

"Boom!" After the bug crawled out, the entire elevator started moving again.

"Oh, what a pity, the fat bug escaped!" Bilu said with some regret.

"Haha, haha... That's great, that terrible monster has escaped." The goose said with some horror.

“…”

Lin didn't say anything, but paid attention to her surroundings... The elevator continued to run until it approached the helipad at the top.

There was no further attack during the operation, as if the mummies had given up, and the scorpion mecha reached the top area smoothly.

This is an open platform because the transport ship that was originally parked here crashed.

Now, there are huge hemispherical shells covering the entire platform, which also isolate this place from the outside world, so there is air in this place.

After checking that there were no mummies around, Lin opened the cover on the back of the mecha and climbed out.

"Veronica-san...is this the injury you just got?"

Bilu also crawled out, and Lin walked in front of the mecha. Here you can see... there are some cracks on the head of the scorpion-shaped mecha.

It should have been caused by the bug that hit it just now. It seems to be quite powerful, but Lin felt that it used some special...ability.

"Gahhahaha! You all actually got out! Now this great mecha belongs to me! I will use it to destroy you all and rule the entire world! Gahhh!"

When Lin and Bilu were outside looking at the cracks in the mecha, a goose's proud cry was heard from inside the mecha.

"Oh no! The spare food is still in there!" Bilu immediately tried to crawl in, but Lin held him back and said, "...It's okay."

"Hmm?" Bilu asked doubtfully, "Why? Veronica, aren't you afraid that it can use this to deal with us?"

"..."Lin did not answer it, but climbed up to check the piece of hooked insect meat.

"Haha... this... how do I operate it..."

After a few seconds, the goose's voice sounded again from inside.

This is pretty obvious... because the operating screen inside will not respond to the goose's beak.

"Hahaha, so you can't control yourself!" Bilu said, "I'm going to roast you and eat you later!"

“Haha! No! I was wrong, I was really wrong!”

While they were calling, Lin continued to test the insect meat.

This...is not a cellular organism after all.

However, its structural form is quite similar to that of a cellular organism, and it mainly relies on liquid to transport nutrients and energy within the body... and there are also cell-like microscopic organisms in the liquid.

It's just that the number is very small, and they are not like cellular organisms whose bodies are filled with microorganisms.

Lin is not entirely sure how it works, but... this should be a creature related to Midgard.

Lin felt that it was not a creature living in solidified void, but one living in a pipe.

Anyway... we should catch a whole one and study it.

Thinking of this, Lin climbed back into the mecha again.

"Hey, beg for mercy quickly! I won't spare you if you beg for mercy!"

After entering the mecha, Lin saw Bilu grabbing the goose's neck and squeezing it hard, while the goose kept struggling.

"I know I was wrong! I just wanted to try saying it that way! Haha! I didn't mean to do anything!"

"Veronica!" Bilu looked at Lin who had crawled in and said, "What should we do with this goose? I think we should cut off its head!"

"No! Quack! Quack! Help! Don't eat me! Don't kill me! I'm really sorry! It's really true!" The goose suddenly made what might be the most tragic cry it had ever made.

“It still works.”

Lin's words stopped Bilu from continuing to chop.

This goose is indeed still useful because it is a rather special individual...Now it has been frightened unconscious by Bilu.

"Really?" Bilu grabbed the fainted goose and said, "But... I think it's useless now. Let's cut it off."

"..." Lin did not answer, but operated the scorpion-shaped mecha and started moving.

The scorpion mecha climbed to the edge of the platform, and Lin poked at some options on the operation screen.

The scorpion-shaped mecha suddenly released a strong...signal.

These signals mainly affected...all the geese nearby.

These geese used to build the mecha have been following the mecha all the time. Lin is now using signals to disperse them... letting them go back to the nearby employee passage.

Because...it's about to open.

“What’s that quack quack!” The goose that had fainted just now woke up and asked in surprise, “I’m still… alive?”

"Yes, I think I decided to eat you rather late." Bilu said, "But it won't be for long!"

'boom!'

At this moment, the whole place began to shake slowly, and the lid covering the helipad slowly opened...

"Veronica-san...what are we going to do next?"

Looking at the starry sky and the wasteland outside, Bilu asked puzzledly.

“Go to a special location.”
