Falling into the Cretaceous

Just as everyone was discussing this, a green "pheasant" swooped out of the forest bushes, showing no fear of humans, and landed on a corpse on the ground.

Everyone turned to look at the "pheasant".

This doesn't look like a pheasant at all!

This is a creature with flight feathers on its forelimbs, capable of low-altitude leaps and glides. Its mouth resembles an elongated crow's beak, but is filled with fine, curved, pointed teeth!

Its hind legs have large, sickle-like claws!

Its claws slashed across the corpse, tearing open the flesh and drawing blood!

It tore a piece of flesh from the corpse in one gulp, swallowed it without even chewing, just like a cormorant swallowing a fish.

Its long, thin tail swayed up and down as it ate, like a swaying bush in the forest.

The crowd then snapped out of their daze.

"What kind of creature is that?!"

Someone asked a question, but no one answered. Obviously, no one recognized it. It looked like a bird, but it had claws on its forelimbs.

"Squeak, squeak..."

Just then, strange cries rang out from the dense bushes, like a flock of pheasants calling. When everyone looked inside, a large patch of bushes was swaying.

Everyone stepped back.

The next instant.

A large swarm of similar green creatures suddenly emerged from the bushes, rushing towards the surrounding corpses.

The stench of blood immediately filled the air.

Shen Ye tried to drag A-K's body away, but three or five of these creatures pounced on him, scaring Shen Ye so much that he almost fell to the ground and kicked his legs backward.

To see these creatures so closely.

Suddenly, some names came to mind, but those names all belonged to ancient creatures, fossils!

And these are all living things!

The fossil reconstruction had a color difference from the living creature, which made it difficult for Shen Ye to recall it immediately.

But he thought that was impossible.

But all of this really happened.

"This is a Microraptor subclass of West Clawed Saurus from the Late Cretaceous period. How could West Clawed Saurus still exist in the 21st century? Current technology can't possibly revive these creatures, can it?"

Shen Ye muttered to himself in fear.

The people around them, however, took it to heart.

"Young man, what did you say? This is a Microraptor?" asked a bald, middle-aged man whose shirt was covered in stains.

"It's not Microraptor, it's Microraptorinae of the genus Microraptor. There's absolutely no such species in modern times!" Shen Ye nodded with great certainty.

"Brother Ye! He's the survival blogger Brother Ye. I'm his fan. He knows a lot about survival, and he studied paleontology in college, so what he says is definitely true!"

At that moment, the foreigner from before shouted.

As soon as he said this, everyone around him looked at Shen Ye, making him a little embarrassed. He didn't want to reveal his identity as a fake survival blogger!

Although I know a lot of knowledge, none of it has been put into practice. Once I'm exposed, I won't be able to continue being a survival streamer.

This is his livelihood.

If he loses his job, he won't be able to find a job related to his university major, and he'll starve to death, since he studied paleontology.

This major leads to unemployment upon graduation.

Otherwise, he wouldn't have become a survival streamer.

"Young man, are you saying we've traveled back to the Late Cretaceous period?" the middle-aged man asked, swallowing hard.

"How is that possible? How could time travel possibly be real?"

Before Shen Ye could answer, someone excitedly retorted.

"Exactly, is he pretending to know what he's talking about? How could such a creature possibly exist these days?"

People around were talking about it.

Shen Ye's expression was very unpleasant. Others may doubt his survival skills, but they must not doubt his professionalism.

Because he loves this major, and his grades in the major are very high; otherwise, how could he possibly recognize such an obscure dinosaur as the West Clawed Dragon?

It's important to know that there were no Microraptors left in the Late Cretaceous. West Clawed Dragon is the only descendant of the Microraptorinae subfamily. It was able to identify this from extremely subtle features, which is very difficult.

"There's no mistake! And think about it, our plane could never have landed on land, yet we've crashed deep in the forest. Don't you find that strange?"

Shen Ye looked at everyone with a solemn expression and said.

Only then did everyone calm down from the shock of the disaster and recall the scene they saw when the plane crashed.

They were supposed to be over the Pacific Ocean, but as they fell, they saw an endless oasis!

"Is it possible that this is an undeveloped research base, or an island in the sea?"

At this moment, the middle-aged man next to him said.

"That's impossible. There's no such island in the Pacific Ocean, and I was watching the outside the whole time during the landing."

This time, the speaker was the flight attendant who had rescued the model with Shen Ye before.

She maintained her dignified demeanor, her expression calmer than the others, but as she spoke, she swallowed hard, her fingers trembling.

"That's right, none of our cell phones have a signal. We might really have traveled back to the Cretaceous period. Better safe than sorry!"

This was said by a young man who looks like he works out regularly.

"This is too bizarre!"

"Bizarre doesn't mean nonexistent. So many planes have disappeared throughout history; maybe they just traveled to this world!"

They discussed it back and forth.

At this moment, the little foreigner let go of his mother's hand, walked towards Shen Ye, and took Shen Ye's hand.

"Brother Ye, you have to help us survive! I don't want to be eaten by dinosaurs!"

The young foreigner speaks very standard Chinese because he grew up in Beijing. He also has a Chinese name, which he told Shen Ye on the plane: Ningbo.

Yes, it's the one you're thinking of.

Shen Ye really wanted to punch this foreigner twice. Isn't this putting me, a half-baked survival expert, on the spot to roast?

"As much as possible."

Shen Ye said through gritted teeth.

"Did you all hear that? Only Brother Ye can lead everyone to survival in the wild! Brother Ye is a wilderness survival blogger with millions of followers."

Shen Ye's face flushed red.

"Thank you so much, young foreigner!"

At this moment, Ningbo's mother came over. She was not a foreigner, but a native of Beijing, around thirty-five or thirty-six years old, with a well-proportioned figure, short hair, delicate features, and wearing a tracksuit.

"Brother Ye, I'm sorry, my son is a gangster, please don't mind. By the way, my name is Ning Yan."

Ning Yan took the initiative to extend her hand to shake hands.

Shen Ye glanced at her. Although she was very beautiful and even looked a bit like the famous actress Gao Yuanyuan, Shen Ye felt a little... something about women who married foreigners.

However, to show his gentlemanly manners, Shen Ye still shook hands with her and smiled awkwardly.

"Brother Ye, I don't know how to address you yet. My name is Zhang Qiming, and I'm a senior executive at a chip company. I hope we can work together in the future!"

The middle-aged man from before quickly came over, extended his hand, and said...

"My name is Shen Ye."

"Then I'll still call you Brother Ye. I think it suits you well. What should we do next?"

Zhang Qiming asked.

The flight attendant also came over.

"Brother Ye, I'm flight attendant Lin Ruochu. You're the only survival expert here. Whether we're in the Cretaceous period hundreds of millions of years ago or in an undisclosed biological base, please lead us survivors to survive."

"That's what the flight attendant said."

Shen Ye really wanted to find a place to crawl into.

He glared at the foreigner, who looked quite proud, which infuriated Shen Ye.

"Well, I'll try my best. After all, the environment is too complicated, and with so many people, I don't know what the future holds."

Shen Ye said.

"So, let's talk about what our first step should be?" Lin Ruochu asked.

Shen Ye glanced around at the surroundings.

"Ms. Lin, lead the other survivors to search for supplies inside the cabin. Bring out all usable supplies, such as medicine, drinking water, and radios."

Shen Ye said.

"Okay!" Lin Ruochu nodded in agreement.

"Mr. Zhang, please take a headcount. Separate the injured from the uninjured. Try not to spread any scary news. People are very likely to do many irrational things when they are in despair."

Shen Ye said to the company's senior executives.

"Okay, I'll go right away."

"Young foreigner, you two take some survivors to gather firewood nearby. Make sure they don't go too far. Use long sticks to tap on the bushes that are hard to see, and only go over when you're sure it's safe."

Shen Ye said.

Ning Yan nodded.

These people knew to approach Shen Ye at crucial moments because they were all quite clear-headed, as they believed Shen Ye was someone who knew how to survive.

Therefore, they are willing to follow orders.

Shen Ye will still divide the work and cooperate. These are all basic theoretical knowledge. As long as it doesn't involve physical work, Shen Ye is confident.

Fortunately, we no longer need to rub sticks together to make fire.

Since the middle section of the plane is still burning, we can just go there and get the fire later.

As soon as he thought about it, a loud bang.

The burning midsection of the engine room exploded directly. Fortunately, there were not many people there, and a large amount of flames shot to both sides.

The wreckage of the plane was scattered everywhere.

Some bushes and ferns in the vicinity were set ablaze, but fortunately it is not autumn or winter, so the fire did not spread.

"We must preserve the fire quickly!"

Shen Ye ran to a silver fir tree that had been broken by the plane and picked up some branches to start a fire.

He quickly set fire to a fallen, dead tree and cleared away the surrounding vegetation to prevent the fire from spreading.

Then some people came to help.

Shen Ye looked at the raging fire and let out a sigh of relief.

If there's fire, things will be much easier. If you really ask him to start a fire by rubbing sticks together, he might not be able to get any even after several hours.

The expert's reputation can be preserved for now.

"roar!"

Just as Shen Ye was relaxing.

The sound, several times stronger than a tiger's roar, rang out again, its vibrations reverberating deep within the heart, echoing in the chest, causing palpitations. Shen Ye noticed that the clumps of green leaves beside him were also trembling!

Everyone was tense and huddled up.

Shen Ye was no exception.

He didn't want to become a dinosaur's snack, but as a paleontologist, he really wanted to see a real dinosaur!
