Falling into the Cretaceous

Chapter 75 Pterodactyl Mount (Available Now)

"Why don't we see any elderly people in the tribe? Are they killed and eaten because they're old?"

Shen Ye looked at Sergei, who was speaking.

Sergei is not actually a purebred Black man. His father was of Russian Eastern European Slavic descent, and his mother was an illegal immigrant. That's why he looks rugged like a Russian.

"It is indeed possible, but such things usually happen under great survival pressure. However, this situation is rare among the primitive people on both sides of the river. Firstly, food is plentiful, and secondly, they do not need to travel like nomadic hunter-gatherer peoples; they can accumulate resources."

As Shen Ye spoke, He Yun hurriedly walked over.

"Dr. He, what's the matter?"

"There are quite a few people with diarrhea today. Please check if there's something wrong, and we're about to run out of this medication!"

He Yun said with a worried look on her face.

Shen Ye looked puzzled. He stood up and went to check on the patients with diarrhea.

"You haven't eaten anything else, have you?"

Shen Ye asked, and the men shook their heads.

"We didn't eat anything else; we ate the same things as everyone else."

Shen Ye needed to rule out the problem, which left only food and water. Since the food was fine, it must be the water.

"Oh no, it's a water problem!"

Shen Ye suddenly remembered that he and the others went to fetch water, planning to add water purification tablets to the water when they got back.

As a result, he was chased by the Tyrannosaurus Rex and couldn't remember anything after returning!

Water has a very short shelf life; even boiling it cannot turn spoiled water into drinkable water.

In the past, pirates tried every possible method to preserve water, such as burning wooden barrels, throwing in silver coins, and even brewing wine to preserve it.

Shen Ye felt guilty for forgetting something so important.

Thankfully, it didn't cause any serious problems, otherwise it would have been terrible!

Shen Ye quickly called Lin Ruochu over.

"Miss Lin, please take a few bottles of water purification tablets from my backpack, put one tablet in each packet, and remember to seal it back afterward!"

"Okay, I'll go right away!"

Lin Ruochu had just turned around when Shen Ye grabbed her.

"Wait, let's get a few more people to work together, that will speed things up."

"good!"

Lin Ruochu nodded and turned to do her errands.

Shen Ye returned to the campfire and sat down again.

"Brother Ye, what happened?"

Zhou Jian asked, and Shen Ye recounted the story, which surprised everyone present.

"We can't blame you for this; we didn't think of that either. But what are we going to do after we finish using the water purifier tablets? Will we have to go out to fetch water every two days?"

Cui Zhengxi threw a piece of firewood into the fire and asked.

Upon hearing this, everyone swallowed hard, knowing that going out was too dangerous.

Shen Ye shook his head.

"I can't let everyone take such a risk, but we haven't found a solution yet. Maybe if we take over the savage tribe, we can solve this problem," Shen Ye said.

He didn't want to die; both times he tried to fetch water, it nearly cost him his life.

If we can't take down the savage tribe, we'll have to figure out how to brew wine, but we'll need to find the raw materials first.

"Don't worry so much, everyone. Maybe we'll take over the savage tribe in the next couple of days!"

Zhou Jian said optimistically, reaching out to pull out a cigar, but after pulling it out halfway, he casually and quietly put it back.

Mike grabbed Zhou Jian's hand, which was in his pocket.

"Mike, what are you doing?"

Zhou Jian shook off his hand, but Mike just snorted.

"Let me have one, we've been through thick and thin together, haven't we?" Mike said.

Zhou Jian's lips twitched.

"Damn it, there's a reason why people don't flaunt their wealth."

Zhou Jian reluctantly took out a cigar and placed it in Mike's hand, which immediately made Mike's eyes light up.

"Haha, Zhou Jian, you're a generous Chinese man. If there's any danger, I'll help you out!"

Mike held the cigar under his nose and took a deep sniff.

The aroma intoxicated him completely.

Zhou Jian's heart was bleeding. There were only ten sticks left, and now there were only seven. He had planned to smoke them slowly with Brother Ye.

Wang Hao looked over here, his eyes full of frustration.

"Mike, hurry up, let's take turns smoking!"

Jack shouted, and Mike, who had intended to enjoy it all by himself, didn't want to spoil the fun by seeing how much everyone was interested, so he generously lit it.

Zhou Jian took out his half cigarette and started smoking it.

The crowd urged Zhou Jian to bring out a few more cigarettes to share, but Zhou Jian refused and instead pulled out a box of ordinary cigarettes to distribute.

The men were as happy as a bunch of children, as if they had forgotten that they were still in the Cretaceous period of the second universe.

The women also had a campfire.

They lacked the adaptability of men and remained sentimental, especially Sun Ranran, who was seriously injured. She had never smiled and was unwilling to talk to anyone. She would take her medicine and sleep during the day, and was sometimes assigned to do some handicrafts.

For her, this kind of life was absolutely terrible.

Her dream is to become an international model.

She went there with her dreams, but ended up in this primitive world where people lived like animals and drank blood. To her, this place was no different from hell.

What dreams? What kind of life? What kind of quality of life?

All of them are gone.

She just hoped that the rescue would arrive as soon as possible; she didn't want to stay here for even a second longer.

Other women, because they have work to do during the day, cannot indulge in idle thoughts like Sun Ranran; they only feel sad occasionally at night.

She cries when she thinks of her loved ones.

Lin Ruochu, Ning Yan, and four other women were adding water purification tablets to the water supply.

How many M-bandages do we have left?

While working, Lin Ruochu asked Ning Yan if she was in charge of managing these supplies.

"There aren't many. We only got fifteen packs from the collected supplies. With so many of us, it won't be long before we run out," Ning Yan said.

Women are also somewhat anxious about this.

They wouldn't talk to men about these things, and Shen Ye, a grown man, would never even think about their affairs.

"Miss Ning, what should we do after we're done using it?"

Lin Ruochu asked somewhat anxiously.

Ning Yan didn't know either, since she had never lacked such daily necessities as towels.

"We'll just do what women did in ancient times, it's not that complicated! Besides, I don't think you should worry about that right now, because there's an even more serious hygiene problem. We've been pickling for four days and three nights, if we don't clean ourselves up, we might get gynecological diseases. We'll have to apply for more water when we apply for it."

Chen Yue then spoke up.

The other women nodded awkwardly as well.

They didn't have the freedom to use water; it was all decided by Shen Ye, and most of it was used for cooking and boiling water.

Each person drinks two cups of water a day.

If you use it to wash that area, you'll definitely have to drink less water.

When surviving in the wild, seemingly minor problems can escalate into major issues.

This problem is just one aspect of the issue. Women who are used to a refined lifestyle are now struggling to meet even basic needs like brushing their teeth, washing their face, and using the toilet. If it weren't for the pressure of survival hanging over their heads like a sword, they would have collapsed long ago over these trivial matters.

It's been four days and three nights since I last showered, and after tonight it will be four days and four nights. It would be very difficult for men, let alone women.

Many people have already developed rashes all over their skin due to discomfort.

As time goes on, there will be more life challenges that you will need to gradually adapt to.

This is just the beginning of the trouble.

This is where women truly break down.

At 7 p.m., the drone took off again.

This time they quickly found the location of the tribe, and the savages were roasting food around a campfire.

"Let's count the number of people!"

Shen Ye said that the reporters and photographers then began to count carefully.

"Sure enough, there are twenty-one more men."

Everyone realized that Shen Ye's prediction today was indeed correct, but they still didn't know about the twenty-one tribal warriors—

Where did they go?

However, it can be seen that there are two more dinosaurs and one more maiasaur at the tribe's dinosaur enclosure!

Shen Ye felt a surge of excitement.

He was still brooding over the death of a dinosaur. If he could get his hands on these three dinosaurs, his camp would definitely grow rapidly in the future!

"Brother Ye, we didn't spot these two drakes and the Maiasaura during our first scouting trip! Does this mean that these twenty-one tribe warriors have been away from home for more than three days and only returned today?"

Zhou Jian then reasoned.

Shen Ye thought so too. The tribe might have split into two groups, one to exchange for tree marrow and the other to do other things. Shen Ye believed that they were most likely escorting the survivors to other tribes to exchange for supplies!

Only delivery personnel need this much time.

Instead of what Zhou Jian had previously said, they were taken away and turned into jerky!

After all, turning it into jerky is definitely not as quick or profitable as exchanging it for grain.

"Wild Bro————"

Zhou Jian saw Shen Ye frown and called out.

"Alas! Those thirty-five survivors were probably taken to their tribe by these twenty-one people in exchange for supplies. Our previous assumption that they wouldn't dare to come and deal with us was wrong."

Shen Ye said.

"You mean they're waiting for these twenty-one warriors to return?"

Cui Zhengxi asked.

"Yes, that's most likely the case!"

Shen Ye nodded.

"Wait—look, they have another dinosaur over there!"

Just then, the photographer suddenly shouted.

Everyone rolled their eyes. So what if they found another newly raised dinosaur? What's so surprising about that?

"Photographer, you've seen your share of big things, don't make such a fuss, okay? What kind of dinosaur was it?"

Zhou Jian smiled and asked the photographer operating the drone.

The photographer swallowed hard.

His expression was one of utter shock, as if he had witnessed something unbelievable.

This inevitably aroused everyone's curiosity.

Shen Ye and Cui Zhengxi approached and looked at the drone screen.

The drone is flying very low now, but it hasn't gone below the tree canopy. During the day, when the visibility is good, the photographer dares to fly into the woods. It was because of this that they discovered three sentry houses built in the trees, as well as several small houses hidden in the woods.

Now, using thermal imaging capabilities, drones have discovered another domesticated dinosaur atop a cliff.

This dinosaur was not any herbivorous dinosaur.

It was a Quetzalcoatlus!
