Age of Mecha: Divine-grade Genetic Extraction

Chapter 141: Underground Fortification

Peter led the team away from the forgotten underground fortifications. Then, they followed Cinthya back to the underground fortifications that were very close to the Mechanical Holy City.

Barker had previously suspected that Cinthya had an unspeakable goal. However, without evidence, he couldn’t do anything to this woman.

“Find a place to sit down. I’ll get you some food first.”

After Cinthya finished speaking, she turned and entered the entrance. Then, a few women shouted from inside, as if they were unhappy with the strangers Cinthya had brought back.

Peter looked at Barker.

“Barker, have you always suspected this woman called Cinthya?”

Barker understood the God of War Peter’s question and quickly explained.

“God of War Peter, this Cinthya pretends to be close to me, but she definitely has other unspeakable motives.”

Peter stood up and left his seat. He wanted to check the area outside the underground fortifications. When he passed Barker, he warned him in a low voice.

“Be careful, that woman is hiding something!”

After saying that, Peter walked out of the underground fortifications. He came to the ground level and turned to look northwest.

There was a mountain range in the northwest. If they wanted to reach the place Donna had mentioned, they had to cross that mountain range.

The sun was about to set and night was coming. Peter walked through the dim wilderness and listened to the north wind whistling as it blew through the broken trees.

Just as Peter was about to go back, he seemed to have heard another strange sound from the wind. It was a little like the sound of an engine starting.

This made Peter realize that a team was rushing to the underground fortifications. However, he couldn’t guess what kind of team was rushing to the underground fortifications at this time of the year.

In order to rush back to the underground fortifications as soon as possible, Peter sped up. When he was about to reach the entrance of the underground fortifications, a group of people rushed out.

Peter saw that the few people who had rushed out were alcoholics from the underground fortifications. Meanwhile, behind them was Cinthya.

“Why did you leave the underground fortifications? It’s very dangerous after night falls.”

Cinthya looked at the God of War Peter reproachfully. This also revealed a detail. When this woman spoke, the drunkards in the underground fortifications used the cover of their coats and used their right hand to reach into their clothes.

Peter discovered this detail in time, which also confirmed his previous judgment. This forgotten underground fortification was filled with dangers.

Their current location was no longer within the range of the base city. If they walked further north, they would be closer to the Mechanical Holy City. Furthermore, the Virgin Mary lived in the Mechanical Holy City. In that case, did the people in these underground fortifications have anything to do with the Mechanical Holy City?

With Peter’s current strength, he was no longer afraid of most dangers. However, this was different from before. This time, among the team he led, only Barker was a Genetic General. As for the remaining three girls, the highest-leveled one had just achieved the level of a C-Grade Genetic Warrior.

In this team, Donna was the most vulnerable. After all, she was just a new student who had just entered the school. Furthermore, she had successfully extracted the gene-strengthening potion just before they set off.

Peter pretended to look casually at the entrance of the underground fortifications, but he was shouting Donna’s name.

“Donna, come with me to check the surroundings.”

Peter had discussed this with his teammates before setting off. As long as Peter called Donna out alone, the remaining two girls would find reasons to follow him. As for Barker, as a Genetic General, he could only make sure that the girls were safe later on.

When Bela and Elise heard the God of War Peter calling for Donna, they couldn’t help but feel nervous. After all, this was the first time they had left the Genetics College, and the first time they had left the range of the base city. The only person who could give them a sense of security was the God of War Peter.

Bela reacted the fastest. When she saw Donna walking by, she deliberately stuck out one foot to block the path that Donna had to pass.

“Oh my! Donna, are you blind? You stepped on my foot!”

Bela spoke very loudly, causing everyone in the underground fortifications to look at her. Meanwhile, Elise, who was standing behind Bela, pretended to go up and pull Bela back.

“Bela, stop arguing. There are so many people watching you.”

At this moment, Donna had already walked past Bela. She casually turned around and mocked Bela.

“You’re the one who stopped me from walking. You’re the one who’s blind. Your entire family is blind.”

After Donna finished speaking, she sped towards the entrance of the underground fortification before the God of War Peter could react.

After Peter walked out of the underground fortifications, Bela roared again behind them.

“Damn you, Donna. Do you think that just because you’re good-looking, you can be arrogant?”

Peter heard the “fight” behind him and placed his hand on his forehead. He felt that these girls were not very good at acting.

However, it couldn’t be helped. After all, as students of the Genetics College, they couldn’t expect them to learn how to act. It was fine as long as they could leave the underground fortifications successfully.

Peter slowed down and waited for the three girls to walk out of the underground fortifications.

Then, the sound that was similar to an engine starting appeared again. Furthermore, it grew louder. Peter placed his palm on the ground and could feel the ground shaking slightly.

“Doesn’t this sound like a vibration from that fleet of vehicles?”

At this moment, the three girls had already walked out of the underground fortifications. Meanwhile, General Barker would stay inside and observe the situation for a while before coming out.

The frequency of the ground shaking increased. Meanwhile, the vehicles parked outside the underground fortifications began to shake slightly.

“This isn’t a tremor caused by the fleet of vehicles. Could there be something below the ground?”

Peter reacted quickly and turned to the three girls who had walked out.

“Don’t come here. Elise, go to the underground fortifications and call Barker out.”

Just as Peter finished speaking, the ground at the entrance of the underground fortifications collapsed. Then, a chain effect occurred, and the collapsed ground began to spread from underground fortifications.

Peter saw Barker running out of the underground fortifications. Then, the three girls gathered around Barker.

“Barker, take them north. Enter the mountain range first.”

Barker knew the God of War Peter’s temper. Once he made a decision, Barker had to carry it out.

Meanwhile, Peter turned in the direction of the entrance to the underground fortifications. Behind him, he heard Donna’s anxious voice.

“God of War Peter, we will wait for you in the mountain range.”

“Damn it!”

Peter felt a headache when he heard what Donna had shouted. Wasn’t this equivalent to telling the people in the underground fortifications where they would enter the valley from? If the reason for the collapse of this piece of land was because of those people, then the severity of the matter was no longer under his control.

Even if they were not behind this, after so long, no one came out of the underground fortification, let alone that woman.

Meanwhile, the ground was rapidly collapsing. Peter calculated the speed at which the ground was collapsing. In about half a minute, the ground under his feet would also collapse.

Peter activated the power of the Thunder God genes in his body and prepared to fight the thing below the ground. This was because it might be a powerful mutated creature. He still remembered that the A-Grade mutated black tortoise he had encountered on the island had also caused a situation that was very similar to the scene he was seeing now. Back then, the ground had also cracked and collapsed on a large scale afterwards.
