Falling into the Cretaceous

Shen Ye, with a cigar in his mouth, checked the drone's charging status. The battery level was 70%. Shen Ye had noticed earlier that this was a professional-grade 915MHz data transmission modified drone.

This means it can fly up to 15 kilometers without losing contact.

A round trip takes only 36 minutes, making it perfect for scouting out savage tribes.

"Brother Ye, it's getting dark soon, I'm going to help collect the tree pith."

Zhou Jian greeted Shen Ye, then stubbed out his cigar in the cabin and put the rest back in the metal box.

After Zhou Jian left, Lin Ruochu came over with pancakes.

"Mr. Shen, dinner is ready."

Shen Ye glanced back at Lin Ruochu, who was wearing a white shirt and red skirt. Her hair was still tied up in a bun, a style unique to flight attendants, which made her look dignified and elegant.

"Okay! Why isn't it that foreign guy from Ningbo delivering today?"

Shen Ye put down the drone and asked Lin Ruochu.

Lin Ruochu sat down next to Shen Ye and started eating a pancake. When Shen Ye asked her that question, she smiled shyly.

"I told him to send it to someone else."

Lin Ruochu said.

"Hehe, my treatment has improved!"

Shen Ye joked, and Lin Ruochu's pretty face blushed slightly.

"Don't misunderstand, I'm just a little tired and don't want to go anymore. I'll leave it to the other team members... By the way, Mr. Shen, I heard from Dr. He today... that you actually wanted to go and save people, right?"

Lin Ruochu asked tentatively.

"Nonsense. I'm going to invade their homes and find more space to live. Anyway, I'm not going to kill them. They can threaten our existence at any time. Saving people is just a side thing."

Shen Ye said it very bluntly.

His original intention was never to save people; the only thing that made him hesitate was the massacre of the entire tribe.

After talking with Zhang Qiming, he understood.

For the survival of everyone in the camp, any means necessary must be used.

Moreover, he believed that he could capture surrendered savages, thus accomplishing the task without even killing many savages.

It will make me feel better psychologically.

However, in Lin Ruochu's eyes...

Shen Ye was being hypocritical; he clearly wanted to save people, but he portrayed himself as a cold-blooded killer. This made Lin Ruochu feel a strange fondness for Shen Ye that went beyond what she would normally feel for someone else.

"No matter what, you'll always be a great leader in my heart!"

Lin Ruochu said with a smile.

Shen Ye scratched his head and noticed that Lin Ruochu's beautiful eyes were looking at him with a slightly ambiguous feeling.

"I'm not talking to you anymore, Mr. Shen, I need to go help collect the tree pith."

Lin Ruochu and Shen Ye exchanged a glance, her heart pounding. Feeling embarrassed to sit with Shen Ye any longer, she turned and walked away.

Shen Ye touched his nose.

Thinking of a certain possibility, he couldn't help but chuckle to himself.

"No matter what, we need to settle down before thinking about these things. After all, there's an old saying: 'When you're full, you think of lust.' We're still hungry and have nowhere to live. Thinking about those things is just like talking nonsense."

Shen Ye smiled and shook his head.

A renewed enthusiasm for life seems to have returned.

Soon, it got dark.

The campfire in the camp illuminated the surrounding environment. The person on duty stood on the top of the boat and observed. Although the visibility was poor at night, the shadows moving in the woods could still be seen under the moonlight.

It's unclear whether the smoke from burning the carcasses scared away the surrounding dinosaurs, or whether the group of dromaeosaurids from last time were the owners of this territory and didn't dare to come, and the other smaller dinosaurs didn't dare to enter easily either.

In short, no other dinosaurs were seen at the camp today.

Only a few arboreal enantiorpis birds fly and hunt in this area. Now that night has fallen, no more flocks of birds have been seen. Instead, it's the insects that have taken the stage to sing.

The chirping of insects in the forest was incessant.

Shen Ye stood on the open ground and flew the drone high into the sky.

At night, there's no need to worry about the drone being mistaken for a bird and snatched away by a pterosaur. As the drone flew high into the sky, everyone else gathered around.

"Brother Ye, are you testing the entrance/exit?"

Ningbo looked at the drone's display screen and asked.

Those around Shen Ye also wanted to know what he was up to, so they all quieted down.

"No, there's a UN checkpoint at the entrance, so we don't need to waste our time. I'm going to find the location of the savage tribe. Ningbo, don't you have a diary? Bring it over to Uncle Cui. If I find the tribe later, he'll have to record the location."

Shen Ye said to Ningbo.

"All right!"

Ningbo and the little girl went into the cabin to get the diary.

Ningbo found the diary in his bag, with several medal pendants clipped to it. He didn't take them off, but handed the diary directly to the little girl.

"Ya Ya, take this to your dad!"

Ya Ya nodded and took them, tearing off the medals.

"What are these?" Cui Yaya asked.

Ningbo feigns profundity.

"They're all old stories, not worth mentioning, like how I won the junior fencing championship, the junior freestyle silver medal, and the junior slingshot championship..."

Before she could finish speaking, Cui Yaya placed the medals into Ningbo's hands.

"Why bring it up when it's not even worth mentioning?"

As Cui Yaya spoke, she turned around and ran towards her father with a sly smile.

Ningbo touched his nose, smiled, and chased after him.

Shen Ye flew the drone very high, not knowing the direction the wild men had fled, only the direction they had come from.

Therefore, Shen Ye roughly deduced that the direction of the savage tribe was due south.

So he flew the drone south.

"It's pitch black, we can't see anything. Brother Ye, wouldn't it be better to fly during the day?"

Mike said.

"Flying during the day is even less visible, but flying at night allows us to quickly locate the savage tribe by the light of a campfire," Shen Ye said.

"That's true!"

Mike scratched his head, then suddenly realized.

The drone flew very fast. Shen Ye observed the distance above and carefully examined any possible bright lights in the image.

Because the plane flew at an altitude of 100 meters, the area that could be observed was still quite large.

If the savage tribe is located in this area, it is still easy to find.

Shen Ye's first thought was that they might be near the river, but definitely not on the other side. Crossing the river would be extremely risky for the savages, so they would never do that.

Therefore, the focus should be on observing the area about one kilometer from the riverbank.

However, things did not go as smoothly as expected. After flying for eight kilometers, Shen Ye stopped and decided to conduct a detailed search within the eight-kilometer radius instead of continuing to fly.

Shen Ye was not in a hurry.

Without drones, he would need to track the savages to find their tribe, which is very difficult. The savages won't obediently lead the way, and following them could easily lead to traps.

Now, finding their tribe at minimal cost is incredibly advantageous, so there's no need to rush; he has plenty of patience.
