"Hurry up and put that thing up there!"
In the dark underground tunnel, Maya rode the Cryopteris and ran with the Scholar.
They were running to another teleportation room because the first one was blown up, so they had to find another one.
"They're running that way!"
In the tunnel behind them, a group of Atlans was chasing after them. A few of the Atlans in front had already raised their weapons.
"Wah —!!!" The Cryopteris suddenly turned around and roared. A large number of cracks appeared on the walls of the cave, and many stones fell from the top of the cave, blocking the path of the Atlans.
"Phew … It's safe now." The Scholar was a little out of breath, but she found that her physical strength was much better than when she first came to the Pompom.
"It's not completely safe yet," Maya's Cryopteris said, "Did you forget that thing activated the detonation system? Before it blows itself up, we have to put this thing in the next teleportation room! Grab it! "
Because of the roar just now, the Chibucha bug that the Cryopteris was biting fell to the ground, but the Scholar quickly went up and grabbed it, and then ran forward with the Cryopteris at an even faster speed.
Soon, the Scholar ran with the Cryopteris to the location of the next teleportation room.
"Ah!" However, when they just opened the door of the teleportation room, the Scholar and Maya saw a group of Atlans in the room, and they seemed to be placing something in the center of the room.
"Ah! Shoot! Shoot! " A few of the Atlans immediately shouted when they saw Maya and the Scholar. The moment they raised their weapons, the Cryopteris also roared at the same time. At the same time, Maya also sent out a strong brainwave. The Atlans suddenly seemed to be hit by something. They covered their heads and fell to the ground.
After a few Atlans fainted, the Scholar and Maya came to the center of the teleportation room. They found that the Atlans had placed a square-shaped object on the ground. On the surface of the square-shaped object, there was a row of flashing red lights. These red lights were slowly extinguishing one by one.
"Is this a countdown?" The Scholar looked at the square. It looked very much like a common countdown bomb.
"It's going to explode!" The Scholar noticed that the red lights were going off faster and faster. She immediately ran out of the room. Maya saw this and ran out of the room on her Cryopteris.
'Boom!!!'
That was it. Another teleportation room disappeared.
Looking at the portal that was destroyed by the explosion, the Scholar said to Maya, "Those Atlan … They must have received the order to destroy all the portals. They don't want us to send anything over."
"If that's the case, then let's use that method." The Cryopteris of Maya said, "There are many teleportation rooms here, but there is one that they will definitely not blow up."
"That place is …"
'Boom!' Just as the Scholar was talking, there was a sudden explosion in the distance. It seemed that the other portals had also been destroyed.
"We need to go to that place." The Cryopteris ran in a direction. The Scholar immediately followed.
'Boom …' The explosion continued to reverberate in the tunnel. It seemed that many places in the distance had been destroyed. The Scholar thought that the portals might have been destroyed. The place that Maya was heading to … There was no explosion.
However, the Scholar thought that there was no need for her to follow. She could leave because she did not have to do anything. However, she did not know how to escape, so she could only follow the Cryopteris.
"There it is!"
The Scholar found that there were metal walls on both sides of the tunnel. At the end of the tunnel, there was a door.
This door looked exactly the same as the doors of the other portals. However, there were many … square buttons on it. They were arranged densely together and looked very strange.
Maya and the Scholar ran in front of the strange door. Maya asked the Cryopteris to press one of the buttons on the door. Suddenly, there was a continuous rumbling sound in the distance.
This sound was not an explosion. It was the sound of something operating.
The Cryopteris then pressed another button. The sound of operating became louder and louder.
"What is this?" The Scholar asked Maya curiously. "What are you operating?"
"This is a manual adjustment device." The Cryopteris said, "It is for the Atlan to operate. It can control the shape of this place. Although there are many portals here, there is one that can only be activated through operation."
"This place is used to transport large amounts of things …"
After the Cryopteris pressed a few buttons, the walls around the Scholar began to vibrate. Many mechanical structures emerged from the rocks. It seemed like the whole underground was starting to operate.
The Scholar had a feeling that the underground was about to change. However, just as she was thinking about it, she suddenly realized that the machines around her had stopped operating.
Maya's Cryopteris also stopped pressing the buttons on the door.
"What is it?" When the Scholar asked, the Cryopteris pressed another button. Suddenly, a three-dimensional image popped up on the door. A large amount of information was displayed on the screen.
"What is written on this?"
The Scholar saw that the information was in a language that she could not understand. Maya looked at the information in silence for a moment. The Cryopteris then said, "They have decided to start a plan of extinction."
"A plan of extinction?"
"It has a description." The Cryopteris' body shook. The voice of the Hierarch came out of its mouth.
"Maya, you should know by now!" The Hierarch's voice seemed to be contacting them from afar. "The Cerebrum knows of their failure. They are preparing to start their plan of extinction …"
"First, they will destroy everything here. That's right, the buildings with operating functions, including the underground and the aboveground. After these buildings are destroyed, there will be nothing to stop them from continuing their teleportation."
The Scholar immediately asked, "In other words, these buildings can stop them from continuing their teleportation?"
"What? The random monsters are also there? " The Hierarch's voice continued, "That's right. These buildings have a lot of controlling functions. When the plan of extinction begins, the Cerebrum will destroy them to prevent any creatures from using them for their own purposes."
"Even if all the buildings are destroyed, the teleportation will still continue. This is because after the towers that delay the teleportation are built, the delay will be fixed. Even if the towers and the bases under the towers are destroyed, the teleportation will still continue."
"Therefore, we must use the existing buildings to affect the teleportation …" The Hierarch's voice continued, "Maya, we must enter that room and adjust the teleportation …"
"Boom —!!!"
Before the Hierarch's voice could finish, the door in front of Maya and the Scholar suddenly exploded. The square buttons and a large number of fragments flew out. One of the fragments hit the Scholar's head, and it fainted.
…
This place was …
After an unknown amount of time, the Scholar opened its eyes.
"Strange?" The Scholar realized that it was no longer underground. It was on the surface. Although the sky was covered by thick smoke, the scenery on the surface was clear.
And in this clear scenery, it saw countless … wreckage.
"Did they … lose?"
The ground around the Scholar was littered with the corpses of the Inca insects. They were scattered all over the Scholar's field of vision, covering the entire ground.
The Scholar walked among the piles of corpses. It realized that the wreckage seemed to extend far, far away. It felt like there was no end to it …
It moved slowly among the endless wreckage. It seemed like … after walking for a long time, the Scholar came to the edge of the sea.
It looked around and saw that there was not a single drop of water in the place that used to be the sea. Instead, it was a dry plain. The corpses of sea creatures were piled up like mountains on this plain, and around these piles of corpses, there were many strange looking … monsters.
"Ah!"
The Scholar suddenly felt something tugging at it. It realized that the scenery in front of it changed instantly. Maya riding on the Cryopteris appeared in front of it.
"It seems that you have encountered an illusion." Maya's Cryopteris said, "The brain spirits let you see the 'end of the world'. This is what they wanted. But I will impose their sad thoughts on them."
The Scholar looked around and found that not far behind Maya was the door that had exploded. A large number of buttons and the door had been reduced to debris scattered on the ground. The room behind the door had also been blown into a mess. There were all kinds of scattered parts inside. Although she did not know what the room was used for, it was useless now.
Maya and the Cryopteris were also affected by the explosion. The Cryopteris' legs were almost crippled, and Maya had some wounds on her body.
At the same time, the Scholar was also injured. But the thing that concerned it the most was … the Chibucha insect that it had been hugging was … gone.
And it was not in the mouth of Maya's Cryopteris. Could it be …
"That thing has been lost." Maya's Cryopteris seemed to have seen through the Scholar's thoughts. It said, "And … the ball with the fungus might have been broken."
"What?" The Scholar was shocked. "How do you know?"
"Because there was something on the ball for detection. I can't feel it now." Maya's Cryopteris said, "But there is no need to worry. This may be an opportunity. We can use it … but …"
