Falling into the Cretaceous

There were two campfires in the camp. The smell of burning corpses was nauseating and lingered in the valley. The other campfire was the fallen pine wood that Shen Ye had lit earlier.

The rising hot air currents in the valley attracted many pterosaurs to circle and play above.

Shen Ye was already quite thirsty.

He looked at the ten bottles of water inside the cabin.

As the leader, he naturally has the right to allocate resources first.

However, he was still uncertain because he didn't have a group of henchmen to protect him like Mike and his gang.

If a conflict arises, you will still suffer a loss.

He needs to firmly establish his position in people's minds during the first exploration mission!

At that time, he can become the absolute center of this group!

The supplies were being looked after by three children: Ningbo, a little Korean girl, and a little Black boy.

Shen Ye took out a bottle of water and told the three children that anyone who wanted to take water needed his permission.

Ningbo itself was also thirsty, but still nodded emphatically.

Zhang Qiming also came over at this time.

Mike and the others were making spears and didn't follow.

"Brother Ye, everyone will be thirsty when they get back from their work. This water isn't enough to go around. If we get through tonight, what will we do tomorrow?"

Zhang Qiming asked worriedly.

Seeing Shen Ye shake his head, Zhang Qiming became even more worried.

"Brother Ye, you can't do anything about it either?"

"No, finding water is easy, but competing with the beasts of this era for water is terrifying! The appearance of pterosaurs and Baryonyxes means that fresh water must be found within a kilometer of this area, since both of these creatures primarily feed on fish."

Shen Ye said.

"I think Baryonyx is just big, but it doesn't seem that fierce. It shouldn't be that scary, right?" Zhang Qiming said with a bit of wishful thinking.

"It's not just Baryonyx; we need to cross a forest and then reach a lake or river. That river or lake must be very large, otherwise, it wouldn't be able to support Baryonyx and so many pterosaurs..."

Shen Ye took a sip of water.

"I mean, that river or lake would also support many other wild animals, such as deinosaurs, and other dinosaurs that came to drink would gather on the banks. Just imagine that scene."

Zhang Qiming only thought about it for a moment before he shivered and got goosebumps all over his body.

"Furthermore, it won't be easy for us to get through the forest to the shore. The ferns and bushes in the forest are too dense, and we are likely to encounter some poisonous snakes, scorpions, and other venomous insects."

As Shen Ye spoke, he himself felt a sense of despair.

"Brother Ye, since it's so dangerous, you should find an excuse not to go. If something happens to you, none of us will survive!"

Zhang Qiming said worriedly.

"Hehe, I also want to hide in the camp, but if we don't do this, everyone will die sooner or later, so it makes no difference." Shen Ye shook his head. He said that he went out every time he explored, not only to persuade others, but also because it was a last resort.

"In that case, we must be fully prepared!"

Zhang Qiming gritted his teeth and said.

"Yes, things will be much easier once I find my suitcase tomorrow," Shen Ye said, standing up.

"Brother Ye, it's not dark yet. How about we have Zhou Jian take some people and go look for it with you?"

Zhang Qiming followed up and asked.

"No, predatory dinosaurs liked to ambush creatures that came to the river to drink during this time of year, hiding in the woods along the riverbank." Shen Ye put a bottle in the pocket of his olive-green overalls.

He arrived at the pile of supplies.

They were rummaging through some yellow clothes.

No one picked these eye-catching colors; everyone present knew that bright colors were too dangerous.

However, they did not know that eye-catching colors also have other uses.

Zhang Qiming also helped search, and they found a total of seven pieces of clothing with bright yellow fabric, three yellow scarves, and several pairs of yellow shorts.

"Brother Ye, what do you need these clothes for?"

Zhang Qiming asked, puzzled.

"Research shows that dinosaurs had tetrachromatic vision, and the contrasting colors of yellow and black stripes are the warning colors for most creatures in nature. We are going out tomorrow, so it is necessary to have some people wear warning-colored clothing and others wear camouflage clothing to facilitate a sneak attack."

Shen Ye said.

Upon hearing this, Zhang Qiming swallowed hard.

Ordinary people would never even think of such a thing, yet Shen Ye thought of it so thoroughly!

But Shen Ye's expression showed helplessness.

"To be honest, I'm not entirely sure if it will work. It might not be the case at all. I can only try my best to turn what I've learned into a means of survival."

Zhang Qiming patted Shen Ye on the shoulder.

"Brother Ye, no matter what, you must never doubt yourself again, and you must never let others know that you lack confidence. You are the leader now, the pillar of everyone's spirit. Just talk to me."

Shen Ye nodded.

He understood, but he just wanted someone to talk to.

After all, he was under too much pressure.

"Give these clothes to Ning Yan. She's in the logistics and construction team. Have her make them black and yellow. We need them tomorrow."

Shen Ye handed the clothes to Zhang Qiming.

Zhang Qiming nodded, took the clothes, and went to find Ning Yan.

After Ning Yan took the clothes, she looked at Shen Ye sitting on a rock in the distance.

When boarding the plane, Ningbo liked to talk to Shen Ye. The Shen Ye she knew was an optimistic and cheerful 25-year-old who liked to tell jokes, but now he was worried so much that he became a programmer.

Zhang Qiming also noticed the worry in Ning Yan's eyes.

"Ye Ge is really going to grow into Ye Ge now. That's how people are; they're always being pushed forward by fate. He'll get used to it eventually."

Zhang Qiming said.

Ning Yan smiled slightly and nodded.

"Yes, he has to do everything he can to manage this team and keep everyone alive. It's not an easy task. Fortunately, he has someone like you to help him. Otherwise, a young man like him simply couldn't handle it."

Zhang Qiming smiled bitterly; he had initially acted entirely for his own benefit.

I never even considered Shen Ye!

But now, he felt truly ashamed.

Zhang Qiming walked away awkwardly. He went to Xiao Wu, whose hand had already been bandaged by He Yun, and who had no other serious injuries.

"Dad... I'm sorry, I shouldn't have been so willful..."

When Xiao Wu saw Zhang Qiming, he lowered his head and said...

"Dad was also wrong, don't blame yourself. I will definitely let you live. But here, don't call me Dad, because my current position is second only to Brother Ye. If anyone wants to harm me, they might target you."

Zhang Qiming sighed.

"Um……"

Zhang Qiming took a small bottle of cola out of his pocket.

"I found this in the chair inside the cabin. I drank some of it. You and Xiao Liu can share it, but don't let anyone else see."

Zhang Qiming carefully placed the small can of cola into Xiao Wu's arms.

"Yes! Dad..."

Xiao Wu couldn't help but cry and leaned on Zhang Qiming's shoulder.

Zhang Qiming gently patted her back.

As a father, he missed his daughter's growth, and now all he wants is for her to live a safe and peaceful life, even if it costs him his life.
