Falling into the Cretaceous

night.

Shen Ye rested on a chair near the broken section of the cabin. The shrubs and vines that had been used as a fence emitted a unique fragrance of plants, a scent that was particularly easy to fall asleep to for those who loved nature.

Shen Ye had observed these shrubs during the day.

There are plants from the genera Cornus, Oleaceae, and Acer. These plants did exist in the Cretaceous period, and they are already flowering. Therefore, we know that it should be between March and May now.

Furthermore, the fact that the moon is partially obscured (with the right side missing and the left side bright) indicates that it is currently the latter half of the month.

The season is now completely set.

However, the geographical location still needs to be determined.

Just as the sun was setting, Shen Ye deliberately checked his watch; it was a dual-time watch used for wilderness survival.

One is Beijing time, and the other is New York time.

Coincidentally, the sun sets at 1 p.m., which is about three hours different from the sunset time in New York in late April.

Then, combine this with a comparison and analysis using Beijing time.

Shen Ye determined that their crash site was in western North America.

No, to be precise, it should be western North America during the Cretaceous period. The latitude is not clear, and it would require a sextant to measure the solar altitude angle to calculate it.

Shen Ye recalled the life raft that had flipped down from the top of the plane. The life pack contained a sextant and a nautical astronomical calendar. With these two, he could determine his latitude, although it might not be very accurate, but it would be sufficient.

However, he now feels there is no need to investigate for the time being, because the geographical structure of western North America during the Cretaceous period was completely different from that of modern times.

In other words, you have a map but can't use it.

This book was first published on 2009.com, providing you with a reading experience free of errors and disordered chapters.

Just as Shen Ye was pondering, Chen Yue came over.

She sat next to Shen Ye, and Liu Sishi sat on her other side.

"Brother Ye, can I lean on you to sleep?"

Shen Ye didn't consider himself a decent man. Chen Yue's beauty would make her a campus beauty queen, and with her being so proactive, Shen Ye couldn't be as virtuous as Liu Xiahui.

But he was afraid of getting sick!

I don't know this woman at all, so who knows if she's sick?

To suffer from a shameful disease for a moment of pleasure is not worth it.

"cannot."

Shen Ye resolutely refused. He put down the chair, lay down, put his hands behind his head, slowly relaxed his body and mind, smelled the fragrance of plants at the break in the cabin, and slowly fell asleep.

Chen Yue pursed her lips.

She hadn't expected that Shen Ye would reject her so decisively, given her charm, which only fueled her competitive spirit.

But let's skip it tonight.

As long as Shen Ye lets me stick to him, I'll have a chance!

Ning Yan sat in another spot in the aisle.

She had been keeping an eye on Shen Ye, and when she saw him reject Chen Yue's advances, she couldn't help but feel a secret delight.

The foreigner from Ningbo kept telling her that she could be more proactive, otherwise her good man, Ye Ge, would be snatched away by someone else!

She was initially speechless, after all, she had just escaped death, who would think about those things?

But now it seems that's not the case.

The women have begun to secretly compete for a greater chance of survival.

……

Shen Ye had only been lying down for a few hours when a commotion broke out outside, waking him up.

He immediately got up and looked out the porthole.

The people around the campfire waved spears and torches continuously.

Surrounding the crowd were a group of dinosaurs covered in feathers, with large heads, wide mouths, long and powerful forelimbs, and three fingers with sharp claws for grasping!

Shen Ye quickly peered through the porthole at their hind legs standing on the ground!

The second toe of its hind limb has a giant sickle claw that is about 12 centimeters long!

Behind it is a long, stiff tail, which is used as a balancer to keep the body in balance when running and turning sharply in the forest!

They come in all sizes, some as small as a turkey, others as large as a medium-sized wolf.

The weight range is approximately 30 kg to 60 kg.

"This isn't a Velociraptor, it's a Deinonychus!"

Shen Ye immediately had the answer in his mind. Velociraptor and Deinonychus look almost identical. They are close relatives, belonging to the same family and subfamily, but different genera. The only difference is their body shape. However, according to fossil records, Velociraptor only exists in Asia, while Deinonychus is found in the forests of North America.

However, we cannot completely trust the documents, because archaeologists only record the fossils that have been unearthed. Those that have not been unearthed are considered as non-existent. They have not even fully investigated the species of the modern world, let alone the creatures from 100 million years ago.

The most direct evidence is Baryonyx, which, according to fossil records, should have existed in Europe during the Early Cretaceous period. However, it appeared here!

How do you explain this?

Blindly believing everything in books is worse than having no books at all.

"Get to the roof quickly, you can't beat them!"

Shen Ye shouted at the broken porthole, and the people outside, hearing his shout, slowly began to retreat to the top of the cabin.

The surrounding Deinonychus were like a pack of wolves, probing the area.

They must have been lying in ambush and observing the area for a long time, but Mike and his team just didn't notice.

Seeing the crowd retreating, the lead Deinonychus made a strange noise.

The sound was like a goose, but louder and deeper.

As soon as the sound faded, three of the Deinonychus pounced on the crowd from three directions.

Mike, emboldened by some unknown source, thrust his spear fiercely into the chest of one of the Deinonychus. With the force of the thrust, the spear pierced directly into the Deinonychus's heart!

The monstrous, bird-like Deinonychus fell straight down.

The other Deinonychus were startled and immediately retreated three meters away. They probably couldn't understand why these creatures, which had no sharp claws or teeth but stood on two legs like themselves, could so easily kill their companions!

They couldn't understand how these bipedal creatures could wield such terrifying flames!

This gave everyone a chance to retreat.

They climbed up from the nose of the plane.

Footsteps echoed from the top of the cabin. The cabin was already suspended at a 30-degree angle, and with 20 or 30 people suddenly climbing up, it slowly began to press down, and the cabin emitted a screeching sound of metal tearing.

Upon seeing this, Mike immediately lay down on the roof of the cabin.

The Deinonychus creatures in the vicinity did not go far away; they still roamed around like ghosts.

They are full of curiosity about everything.

Using their sense of smell, they quickly began to observe the tail section of the fuselage.

The wounded inside the tail section of the plane were trembling with fear, and He Yun and his medical team were there.

The medical team consisted of only three middle-aged men and two women.

Now, holding spears to both sides of the fence, preventing the Deinonychus from prying open the fence like a dog and sneaking in, everyone held their breath.

Shen Ye watched this scene with his heart pounding in his chest.

Once these dromaeosaurids get inside, even if there are only one or two, they could definitely kill everyone inside the stern of the ship.

Because they are natural hunters!

He's a born killer!

Forelimbs, hind limbs, and mouth – each part is a highly lethal weapon!

What's even more terrifying is that they can operate at night, proving their extremely strong night vision capabilities. Entering a low-light cabin is like wearing night vision goggles and wielding a scythe to kill someone.
