Falling into the Cretaceous

Chapter 94 Double Hidden Dangers

night.

The temperature dropped by about two degrees Celsius compared to the daytime.

However, despite the high density of people inside the cabin, the perceived temperature was still quite comfortable.

Ningbo held a dinosaur egg so tightly that he wouldn't let go of it even when he slept. He sat with Ya Ya and told her that he wanted to hatch the dinosaur egg to see what kind of little creature lived inside the hard shell.

Ya Ya laughed at him, saying he was going to be a dinosaur dad.

Ningbo, however, said they wanted to bring the dinosaur back to modern society, where they would be big stars!

The two couldn't help but look forward to it.

Meanwhile, Zhou Jian and Li Zimei were still chatting outside the campfire.

The two got along very well.

Li Zimei felt that Zhou Jian's image was different from the image of the rich woman assassin circulating in the camp.

She thought Zhou Jian was very brave; he had done so much for everyone and had never complained once.

"Miss Li, during tomorrow's operation, I'll have reporters and photographers protect you. After I take out the first sentry house, I'll immediately go and shoot the second one. You just need to focus on taking care of one."

Zhou Jian said.

"Don't underestimate me. Now that I've joined you, I'm one of you. You should let them protect Miss Chen. She and Mike are all melee fighters, so they're in much more danger than us."

The two chatted intermittently.

Mike and Jack lay on the roof of the cabin smoking.

"After tomorrow's battle, our good days will begin, Jack. Haven't you made up with Evelyn yet?"

Mike turned to Jack and asked.

Jack was usually quite quiet, not because of his personality, but because he was going through a divorce with his wife, Evelyn.

They flew back to country M together to finalize their divorce.

Jack looked toward Evelyn by the campfire. She was a young blonde white woman who was a member of the food gathering team.

Jack shook his head.

Seeing Jack's dejected look, Mike reminded him, "Jack, you'll regret it if you don't pay attention! There are more men than women these days, and Evelyn is so beautiful. If she gets snatched away by someone else, you'll have nowhere to cry. Sigh, I'm also hoping to find someone I like, but unfortunately, I haven't met anyone yet."

After hearing Mike say that, Jack actually became a little worried.

"Go quickly, the war starts tomorrow, and nobody knows if things will go smoothly."

Mike gave Jack a push, and Jack pursed his lips but still slid down from the roof and walked towards Evelyn.

Evelyn also saw Jack approaching, but she did not avoid him.

She already knew from the last time that Jack joined the reconnaissance and exploration team to spite her.

To be honest, Jack did it.

But Evelyn refused to talk to him anymore.

"Hi—I—I'd like to talk to you for a bit, is that okay?"

Mike watched as Jack bravely took his first step and couldn't help but smile with relief.

His head started hurting again.

He had to bang his head hard. Ever since he recovered from his illness, he had been suffering from headaches from time to time. He had seen Dr. He, but he couldn't figure out what was wrong.

"Damn it, is this never going to end?"

Mike found that this time the pain lasted for more than a minute, whereas before it would only last for twenty or thirty seconds at most.

After a while, the pain in my head gradually subsided.

However, the aftereffects were trembling hands and feet and sweating all over the body.

He calculated that at first the pain occurred every eight hours, but now it occurs every six hours, and the duration of the pain is also increasing.

At this time, Shen Ye was unaware of Mike's situation.

He buried his face in Ning Yan's arms, feeling her tenderness. He felt like a child nestled in his mother's embrace.

That most primal emotion brought him peace.

This has nothing to do with any impurity.

Shen Ye suddenly realized that he had an Oedipus complex!

When Shen Ye was young, his mother died unexpectedly. Shen Ye had forgotten his mother, but the lack of maternal love had already quietly affected his entire life.

In the aftermath of this disaster, under immense pressure, his childhood longing for maternal love was rekindled.

As the leader, he had no outlet for his emotions.

It wasn't until that night, when he buried his face in Ning Yan's arms, that he realized he could only fall asleep peacefully in her arms—it was a subconscious influence!

Ning Yan is brave, beautiful, kind, gentle, and responsible. She possesses all the virtues a good mother should have.

At the same time, it also fits the image of the perfect mother that Shen Ye subconsciously envisions.

Meanwhile, Cui Zhengxi had already fallen into a light sleep. His mental strength was greater than that of an average person, like a veteran on the battlefield, who could fall asleep even amidst heavy gunfire.

The photographer then went back to sleep.

The reporter had He Yun undergo a follow-up examination, and now he can see things clearly, but there are still dark shadows in his field of vision. It is estimated that it will take half a month for them to completely disappear.

The reporter was quite satisfied with the result.

Although he almost went blind, in the end, his nearsightedness and astigmatism were cured. His other eye is also nearsighted, but the degree is relatively low and there is no polarization problem, so he does not plan to use eye drops anymore.

After all, the risk is just too high.

No one can have good luck every time.

"We're going to attack the savage tribe tomorrow, so be careful!" He Yun put down her flashlight and said to the reporter.

"Don't worry, we'll be back in triumph soon! There are only ten warriors left over there."

The reporter was very confident, after all, they had already fought the savages twice. As long as nothing unexpected happened during the battle, there was basically no suspense in this fight.

"We still can't let our guard down!"

He Yun said.

The reporter nodded, returned to the cabin, and sat down to rest.

Nothing else happened that night.

Just before dawn, Sergei noticed what appeared to be dark shadows moving in the woods.

He couldn't see what it was clearly. When the sun came out, the dark shadow disappeared. He looked around the place where the shadow had appeared.

He noticed the footprints on the ground, wrote them down, and decided to tell Mike.

As soon as it was light, Lin Ruochu and Deng Chao got up to make breakfast.

This breakfast isn't for anyone else here.

It was for the ten people from the tribe who had set off, and also to prepare lunch and dinner, because Shen Ye and the others might not be back until tomorrow.

For lunch and dinner, boiled dinosaur eggs are the best choice, as they can be kept for more than a day as long as they are not cracked open.

It's also quite convenient to carry.

In addition, they filled all the mineral water bottles and took them out, but that wasn't enough, so they also put several bags of boiled water in each of two backpacks.

No one envied this breakfast; after all, they were going to fight, a rather arduous and dangerous task.

After Shen Ye and the others got up, each of them ate a thick dinosaur egg pancake, filling their stomachs. Then they carried three boiled dinosaur eggs and two backpacks full of water.

They are also well-prepared in terms of weaponry.

Zhou Jian took out the poison ointment he had prepared earlier and poured it onto a leaf.

He poisoned all of Li Zimei's blowguns, coated the arrowheads of his own ten arrows, and then carefully put them into the leather sheath at his waist.

After breakfast, Shen Ye and Zhou Jian went to the dinosaur enclosure and brought out two dinosaurs. Wild Man A-K also came out. Shen Ye handed him breakfast, and he immediately knelt down to accept it, as if accepting a wizard's blessing.

"Ah K, shh-ru-wu-ge!"

Shen Ye called out, and the savage A-K immediately understood.

To avoid disturbing wild animals, savages usually need to walk quietly. Therefore, this "shh" also means to hurry on the way.

"Ug" means home or tribe.

It sounds very similar to the pronunciation of dinosaurs, "woo-ang".

Dinosaurs were an important asset to the tribe, much like cattle in a farmer's household, holding a very high status. The use of "Mingge" to represent the home is similar to "Wooang," signifying equal importance.

Shen Ye learned the language of the wild people little by little through ancient language logic.

The savage walked in front, the rope on his collar tied to the dinosaur's saddle. Shen Ye rode the tendon dragon, and Chen Yue climbed on top of him.

The same applies to Zhou Jian and Li Zimei.

The others followed on foot.

Mike was walking at the very back when Sergei came up and told him about finding the footprints.

"You guys hold the camp tight. No matter what, wait for us to come back," Mike said.

He knew very well that telling Shen Ye and the others now was pointless and would only affect the upcoming mission. It wouldn't be too late to tell them after the mission was completed.

The survivors watched them enter the southern woods and finally disappear at the edge of the forest.

This time is different. They are going to a place seven kilometers away, not seven hundred meters away, and they are going to attack a savage tribe. It may take several days for them to return.

The survivors felt empty inside, without any sense of security.

This feeling is very unpleasant.

Like a group of people lost at sea, with no roots beneath their feet and no direction in their souls, their last bit of security has been taken away.

They couldn't do anything about it. This was a "syndrome" caused by being far removed from human civilization, similar to the psychological problems experienced by astronauts far from Earth. This was called the "Earth isolation effect."

No one can avoid it.

Shen Ye also has it.

It's a feeling of extreme insecurity, like being suspended in mid-air.

This feeling will become more and more obvious as time goes on.

When Shen Ye was still in the camp, they at least had someone to rely on, but now that Shen Ye has gone to that unknown place to adventure, that reliance has been lost.

Therefore, the "Earth isolation effect" became more and more obvious, affecting the psychology of everyone present.

In the forest, the sounds of birdsong were constant.

The morning light shone through the tree canopy onto the damp ground. The ground that the wild man A-K led them on was relatively solid, but after walking a few hundred meters, their shoes would still be covered in mud. They had to clean them every now and then, otherwise their steps would become very heavy.

The photographer held his notebook, constantly checking the previously marked route to confirm its accuracy.

The route taken by the savage A-K bypassed those hills, so the journey was well over seven kilometers long.

Two hours later.

They stopped and rested temporarily in a grove of trees. Zhou Jian and Li Zimei led the dragon to eat the shrubs and ferns on the spot.

"Brother Ye, let me use the drone to check the distance."

The photographer then went to an open space and took the drone into the air to scout the way.

The others also found places to rest and clean the mud and decaying leaves from their shoes.
