Bai Ye took a deep breath, then raised the cluster bomb in his hand, assuming a baseball pitcher's stance. The moment the Tyrannosaurus Rex lunged at him, he hurled it.
Bai Ye aimed for its mouth. An internal explosion would surely be more devastating than an external one.
As soon as he released the cluster bomb, Bai Ye turned and fled without a second thought.
Cluster bombs were terrifying.
They also had a nickname: the inhumane bomb. In Bai Ye's world, they were considered "extremely cruel" weapons, banned by civilization and even subject to international conventions.
However, one was an air-to-ground missile, and the other was a fist-sized projectile bomb. Bai Ye figured they couldn't be the same thing. But even if they were distant relatives, Bai Ye dared not be careless.
Then...
*BOOM!*
A sudden, thunderous explosion erupted.
The instant Bai Ye looked back, he saw the Tyrannosaurus Rex's body suddenly split open with countless fissures. Then, streaks of pale blue light, like countless sharp swords, pierced out from within the dinosaur's body. Immediately after...
It tore itself apart!
Accompanied by the detonation of the cluster bomb, the Tyrannosaurus Rex's body instantly fragmented into pieces. Then, amidst a vast expanse of light, it vanished into ash, leaving nothing behind.
Where the Tyrannosaurus Rex had stood, the ground suddenly collapsed, turning into fine sand. A giant pit, over seven or eight meters in diameter and nearly two meters deep, appeared out of nowhere.
Following this, a terrifying shockwave pushed outwards, forming a ripple.
Bai Ye felt as though his chest had been struck by a hammer, sending him flying backward. He then crashed heavily onto the ground.
Bai Ye lay on the ground, grimacing in pain for a long while before finally getting up. Looking at the devastation ahead, he couldn't help but tremble inwardly.
The power of that cluster bomb was too terrifying. Had that Tyrannosaurus Rex really been blown to bits like that?
Bai Ye couldn't help but wipe a bead of cold sweat. It seemed he needed to treat that great inventor's abilities a little better from now on. While he could be truly unreliable at times, when he was reliable...
He was almost *too* reliable. Something like this could easily have blown himself up if he wasn't careful.
"Damn, that old man!"
Suddenly, Bai Ye remembered Dr. Harding. That guy had actually run off and left him!
That wasn't the main issue. The crucial point was, if Dr. Harding ran off by himself, did that mean his mission was considered complete?
Bai Ye didn't have time to look at the mess on the ground. He quickly sprinted towards the outer perimeter, trying to catch up with Dr. Harding.
Fortunately, Dr. Harding hadn't gone too far. After chasing for about ten minutes, Bai Ye saw Dr. Harding sprawled on the ground like a dead dog, clearly having exhausted his last reserves of energy and unable to run any further.
"Hey!" Bai Ye reached out and patted Dr. Harding's cheek, saying, "Are you dead?"
Dr. Harding gasped for air and replied, "You, you, you're still alive?"
"Just a Tyrannosaurus Rex, don't be so scared," Bai Ye said. "I've personally torn apart zombies, and I've fought ancient spirits in tombs. A dinosaur is nothing."
Bai Ye bragged shamelessly, completely forgetting that he had just been considering abandoning Dr. Harding and running for his own life. He reached out and slung Dr. Harding over his shoulder.
"Let's go!" Bai Ye said. "We should be close to leaving Jurassic Park. Don't cause any more trouble for me."
Carrying Dr. Harding on his shoulder, Bai Ye continued forward. Finally, as the twilight faded and the night gradually descended, they saw a large expanse of barbed wire.
Bai Ye gestured forward with his chin. "Are we here?"
Dr. Harding's eyes lit up. "Yes, yes, we can leave now."
Bai Ye asked, "I'm curious, can barbed wire actually stop dinosaurs?"
"Ordinary barbed wire certainly can't," Dr. Harding explained. "When I cloned those dinosaurs, I implanted chips in them. The chips could restrict the dinosaurs' movements. Even when they went out of control later, it only led to rampages. According to the preset chip programs, the barbed wire serves as a boundary. The dinosaurs' range of movement would not cross this boundary. So, as long as we climb over the barbed wire, we'll be safe."
Bai Ye nodded, carried Dr. Harding to the edge of the barbed wire, tore open the already deformed and broken fence, and then pulled Dr. Harding through.
As expected...
"You have completed the hidden mission: Help Dr. Harding leave the Jurassic Park area. Mission rewards: Fossil of Aerodactyl x1, Chocolate Energy Bar x1."
Fossil of Aerodactyl: A strange fossil that still contained vitality. If the fossil's time could be reversed, perhaps the legendary ancient beast rider, Aerodactyl, could be seen.
Chocolate Energy Bar: After consumption, it can instantly restore stamina and heal all injuries.
After crawling through the barbed wire, Bai Ye's mission was complete. Simultaneously, his inventory gained the Fossil of Aerodactyl and the Chocolate Energy Bar.
Among these, the Fossil of Aerodactyl...
In Bai Ye's eyes, it was just a piece of rock.
While reversing the time of a fossil sounded magical, in the World Battlefield, a place filled with the unknown, it was indeed possible. But the problem was, Bai Ye didn't know how to do it. In his previous life, Bai Ye had never heard of such a thing.
Therefore, if he didn't know the method, it was just a useless rock.
What truly made Bai Ye excited when he accepted the mission was the Chocolate Energy Bar. Bai Ye had obtained this item in his previous life and knew its effects from the start. It was a lifesaver in critical moments, even if it was chocolate-flavored.
To Bai Ye, keeping this item in his inventory was equivalent to having saved his own life.
Wasn't that more valuable than that so-called fossil?
At the same time...
Dr. Harding was also incredibly excited. He was so moved that he even fell to his knees, weeping tears of joy. "Eleven years. It's been eleven years. I've finally seen daylight again. I've finally left that accursed place. I no longer have to face those terrifying monsters..."
Dr. Harding cried out, then stood up again, spreading his arms wide. He ran forward, seemingly relishing the freedom to move. He no longer had to worry about being eaten by dinosaurs when he went out. At this moment, the pressure he had carried for eleven years was finally released.
But just then...
A loud noise suddenly erupted from beneath Dr. Harding's feet, and a huge chasm suddenly opened up.
A massive dark shadow abruptly appeared. It was a monster about seven or eight meters in size, resembling a frog. It leaped out from the ground and swallowed Dr. Harding in one gulp.
Bai Ye scratched his head. "I guess I forgot to tell him that other areas of the World Battlefield might be even more dangerous than Jurassic Park."
