The End of the Paleozoic Era Chapter 2034: Sewer

"Maybe we can find out...what happened in the void."

"Maybe? Why do you say maybe?"

"I don't know, but we can still observe..."

This is an...underground environment.

It seems that like most cities, this zombie city also has a large...'sewer system'.

It is very warm and humid here, the air is filled with mist, and the corroded walls are covered with fungi... This is a place rich in biology.

Lin had just found the entrance to this underground passage in a building not long ago, so she and Bilu came here.

Because the passage of this "sewer" could not allow mechas to enter, Lin and Bilu walked in directly.

As for the goose, it still stayed on the mecha.

This place is just as recorded, with a lot of water and cellular organisms, plus sufficient temperature and air, so the Ershi people can live here for a long time.

Moreover, there were no floating shadows or mummies wandering around here.

But... there were some strange noises.

"Do you really think that's possible? Finding where they gather? Yes, that would allow us to witness everything we've wanted to witness for a long time!"

It sounded like someone was communicating, and the sounds kept echoing between the walls, sometimes far away, sometimes near... It didn't sound like it was coming from the walls, but rather echoing in the air.

"Student Veronica, there must be ghosts here too." Bilu said as she swept the lightsaber around, "Can this sword catch them?"

"..." Lin did not speak, but listened carefully to the content of the conversation.

"We're encountering a vortex! Activate the jump drive, get us out of here! But sir, we can't...what is that!?"

The content of the communication is not continuous, but from the latest content it can be heard that they seem to have encountered something special.

Lin felt that these sounds might be one of the clues that the team members felt they had spent a long time in the records.

"Gurgle..." At this time, Lin heard a sound coming from the front.

I saw a...corpse maker worm crawling over from the corner of the passage about ten meters ahead.

This is the first time that Lin has discovered corpse-crafting worms in this city. Although they have been mentioned in previous records, they seem to be difficult to find.

The corpse-maker worm was looking at Lin and Bilu from ten meters away without any movement, but Lin noticed that its hands were slowly... shaking.

This should be a signal that it wants to rush over.

"There's this here!" Bilu retracted his lightsaber and took out his usual battle blade and said, "Let me chop it up!"

"Gu!" The moment Bilu spoke, the corpse-maker worm suddenly pounced over... and Bilu also met it with a knife.

"Ka!" Bilu thrust the blade into the corpse worm's head.

"Gugugu!" The corpse worm kept twisting its body, and its violent movements even threw Bilu up.

Lin also walked forward at this time, hugged Bilu and pulled it back hard.

With the sound of "puff", Lin pulled out Bilu and the blade that was stuck in the head of the corpse worm.

"Gu!" The corpse-maker worm stopped attacking and turned around and quickly crawled away, leaving a pool of liquid on the ground.

"This monster is really strong." Bilu said, "But it's still not as strong as us!"

"..."Lin squatted down and looked at...a small piece of thing on the ground. It was left when she pulled out the sword just now.

A piece of meat on the head of a corpse worm.

It can also be called 'eyes'.

There are six black spheres with a diameter of about five centimeters on the head of the corpse worm, which look very much like eyes from the outside.

Lin had studied the corpses of corpseworms before... and also believed that this was their light-sensing structure.

They should be able to analyze detailed images like the eyes of the Ershi people...that's what I thought before.

And after looking at the records of previous team members, this kind of eyes may be able to do more.

"Wow, why did Veronica pick up such a disgusting eyeball?" Bilu, who was standing by, picked up the sword and said, "This is the eyeball of that bug... right?"

"It should be."

Lin picked up the eyeball and held it in front of her eyes to examine it carefully.

...It was pitch black and nothing special could be seen, so Lin still put it into the protective suit and then used cells to carefully...test it.

“Gugu…”

When Lin did this, the corpse-maker worm appeared again in the passage ahead.

This time it brought a large group of mummies with it. It seems... it's time to leave here.

"Are you going to run away, Veronica?" Bilu, who was originally prepared to fight, saw Lin turn around and run away, and had to chase after her.

"I think we can definitely kill them all! They are very weak!"

"Don't fight yet." Lin responded to Bilu while running and testing the eyeball at the same time.

Soon Lin and Bilu approached the entrance to the sewer, but... a large group of mummies also appeared at the entrance.

They howled and pounced on her, so Lin changed her route again.

The passage of this sewer is very complicated, with criss-crossing channels, so there are many ways to escape.

"They are indeed very weak!"

After running for a while, the group of mummies and corpse-crafting worms with only two limbs were left farther and farther behind by Lin and Bilu. Their speed was not very fast.

What Gu Lin was not paying attention to was that a sound similar to the previous one was heard again here.

There were a lot of conversations between the Ershi people echoing between the walls. Although the information was intermittent, Lin could piece it together... to form relatively complete intelligence.

These Ershi people who participated in the communication should also belong to the research group, and belong to an exploration team.

Of course, they are not the A1 exploration team that came to this cold land, but a special team that is exploring in the void.

"Veronica, they don't seem to be following us?"

When Lin and Bilu entered a small room under the wall of a passage, they could no longer see the mummies and corpse-making worms that had been following them.

Here, you can see a lot of scattered items, including metal boxes, firearms, and some medicine bottles.

It feels a bit like some items left here by the Ershi people.

Maybe another member of the A1 exploration team? Or something else...

"This one can still be used!" Bilu picked up a gun at his feet and pulled the trigger at the wall next to him...

"Bang!" A small sound caused a small hole with burning smoke to appear in the wall.

"It's a pity that the power is not very good..." Bilu threw the gun aside and tried to open the metal box.

Lin was just watching from the side. Inside the metal box... Lin could smell some special "smell".
