Falling into the Cretaceous

At the bottom of the cave.

Shen Ye checked on the tendon dragon and found that it was awake but unable to move. Upon closer inspection, he discovered that it had broken its cervical spine.

"Damn it! This is a huge loss!"

Shen Ye gritted his teeth, even though he knew that even if the tendon dragon hadn't broken its cervical vertebrae, it still wouldn't be able to get out of this hole.

"We're lucky we're still alive!"

Chen Yue then said optimistically.

Shen Ye shook his head. What she said was right. It was already a blessing that they hadn't died. But for the head of the family, any loss would hurt them for a long time.

Moreover, this tendinosaur is almost an irreplaceable means of transportation in the forest.

"Let's dismantle this dragon saddle. It's not easy to make, and we might need it next time," Shen Ye said, thinking that someone would come to rescue them soon, so there was no need to waste time dismantling the dragon saddle.

Otherwise, the people outside who come to rescue you will be in great danger.

Chen Yue didn't say much and helped dismantle it.

Because they were pinned to the ground by the dinosaur, it took them half an hour to remove the saddle.

"Why haven't they arrived yet?"

Chen Yue sat on the back of the tendon dragon, stroked her chin, looked up at the cave entrance, and showed a worried expression.

"Shen Ye, do you think Da Pu wouldn't have gotten lost? Judging by the time, he should have already brought his men here!"

Chen Yue said.

"Da Pu won't get lost," Shen Ye said, shaking his head.

"Does that mean they're unwilling to risk coming out to rescue us?" Chen Yue asked through gritted teeth.

Shen Ye also shook his head.

"Probably not."

Shen Ye shook his head. He didn't think they would do that, not to mention how useful he, as their leader, was to them.

If they actually do that, no one on the team will be willing to make any sacrifices, and the team's credibility will be completely destroyed.

Zhang Qiming and Cui Zhengxi would absolutely not allow such a thing to happen.

The only reason is that Da Pu may have encountered an accident on his way back.

Over at the camp.

Zhang Qiming and Cui Zhengxi were discussing leading a team to search for Shen Ye. As the saying goes, they wanted to find him alive or dead. If he was really eaten by dinosaurs, there would be some traces, such as the gun or the saddle of the dinosaur.

"Da Pu is back!"

At that moment, someone shouted loudly at the edge of the forest.

Upon hearing the sound, Zhou Jian, Cui Zhengxi, Zhang Qiming, Mike, and others quickly ran over.

Lan Yanyan and the other survivors ran over as well.

When Lan Yanyan saw Da Pu lying on the ground, barely alive, tears streamed down her face.

But she had no time to grieve.

Because if Da Pu came back alive, he must have brought back information.

She quickly squatted down and reached out her hand. Da Pu placed his injured front paw on Lan Yan Yan's palm and scratched it twice.

"Shen Ye and the others are still alive! It's telling us to go rescue them!"

Lan Yanyan said excitedly.

"Great! Let's go there now! Wait, Big Pu is so badly injured, how can it lead the way?"

Zhou Jian said excitedly, but then suddenly realized that Da Pu was already seriously injured.

He Yun then came over carrying a first-aid kit.

"Don't rush, let me check Da Pu's injuries first!"

After He Yun shaved off the hair from more than a dozen of Da Pu's wounds, she discovered that the injuries were really severe, with some of the flesh exposing the bone.

The most serious injury was that one of his eyes was scraped out.

He Yun injected it with dexmedetomidine for sedation, and then injected it with a certain amount of morphine for pain relief.

This awe-inspiring war dog then lay quietly on an open piece of clothing.

He Yun patiently began stitching up the wound, little by little.

Although everyone sympathized with the dog, Shen Ye and Chen Yue were also very anxious because they didn't know what was going on.

Zhou Jian paced impatiently to the side.

"Cui Zhengxi, is there any way we can find Ye Ge without this dog?" Zhou Jian asked.

"It's difficult. We don't know their escape route, and if they survived, the tendon dragon might already be dead, and the crisis isn't over yet. Otherwise, it wouldn't be just a dog coming back."

Cui Zhengxi said.

"Is it possible that the Tyrannosaurus Rex ate the Tendon Dragon but not Wild Brother and the others?" Zhou Jian asked.

"This situation is not impossible, but since Shen Ye and the other two cannot return, it is possible that he climbed up a tree. If he is up in a tree, he can easily shoot and kill the bully guarding them."

Cui Zhengxi speculated.

"What if the gun falls?"

Zhou Jian said.

"That's very likely. After all, the dinosaur is very bumpy when it's running, and Shen Ye wanted to take one hand off the ground and turn around to fire, so he might lose the gun."

Cui Zhengxi nodded.

"This is really worrying!"

Zhou Jian was very annoyed. He took out the cigar but didn't light it, and put it back.

"Don't be too nervous. Shen Ye and the others survived. Let's just wait. If Shen Ye and the others weren't seriously injured, they should be back in two or three hours."

Cui Zhengxi said.

"Really?" Zhou Jian asked.

"Hmm! I don't think the dinosaur would have much patience to wait for them to come down. If it was also shot and injured by Shen Ye, it would be even less likely to stay in one place for that long," Cui Zhengxi nodded and said.

"Wait a minute, I meant 'what if,' what if Brother Ye doesn't come back in a few hours? What would happen then?"

This time, it was Zhang Qiming who asked the question.

Cui Zhengxi also fell silent. He didn't want this to be the case, because if it really happened, then Shen Ye and the other person must have been seriously injured or trapped and wouldn't have been able to come back on their own.

The longer time passes, the greater the likelihood of death.

"If they don't come back in a few hours, then we have to go out and look for them, whether or not we have a dog to lead the way, we have to go out and look for them."

Cui Zhengxi was unwilling to give up.

Even if Shen Ye is seriously injured, as long as he can survive and be healed, there is still hope for the entire survivor team.

Otherwise, a new leader will have to be elected, and the new leader may not have such strong cohesion, nor may he be able to keep the group functioning normally and healthily like he did.

Moreover, if they don't go out to rescue Shen Ye, the entire team will lose credibility, and the cohesion that Shen Ye has worked so hard to build will collapse all at once.

Zhou Jian handed the walkie-talkie to Cui Zhengxi.

"I shouldn't have taken it. If Brother Ye had taken it, we might be able to talk to him now," Zhou Jian said.

"It's no use saying all this. Nobody expected this to happen." Cui Zhengxi patted Zhou Jian on the shoulder. "You're the team leader. You can't let us down at a time like this. Cheer up."

Cui Zhengxi's words rekindled Zhou Jian's fighting spirit.

"Brother Ye...you absolutely must live!"

Zhou Jian gritted his teeth, his fists clenched tightly.
